    Katy Perry Covers Adele’s ‘Someone Like You’

    Written by TriniTrent | Filed under Adele,Katy Perry

    Adele’s ‘Someone Like You’ continued to dominate the Billboard Hot 100 this week so it was no suprise that other artists attempted to deliver their own versions of the tune. One such performer was Katy Perry who performed the track during the Sheffield stop of her ‘California Dreams Tour’ on Wednesday.

    Perry sang the song during a medley with her new single, ‘The One That Got Away’. The Pop star revealed the accompanying artwork for ‘The One’ last month.

    Watch Perry’s rendition of ‘Someone Like You’ below:

    Shockingly, Perry did quite well with her rearranged version of the song. Instead of attempting to sing Adele’s original composition and rupturing a lung onstage, Perry kept it simple so that it would suit her limited live vocal ability.

    However, ‘Someone Like You’ is not a very difficult song to sing. In fact, the most significant components of that record are the lyrics. A real test of Perry’s voice would be for her to cover a ‘Rolling In The Deep’ or perhaps a song by Jessie J.

    Thoughts?

      basic.
      artists today need to challenge themselves & not just be comfortable with where they are.

      @h3avensent08 I totally agree with you. I actually would’ve given her more praise had she tried to push the boundaries of her vocals. I became a big Ciara fan when I saw a video of her on YouTube singing several songs like Rock Steady and We Can’t Be Friends and she IMGHO showed that she was working on her vocals and trying to push far past her 2.5 octaves
