I had heard a couple of Adele's songs off of the album "21". I then saw her perform on the Grammys and was blown away by the difference between the studio version and the live singer. I decided to buy this and hear the rest of the songs plus some that I didn't know. Her voice really shines in this mainly through her emotion that she put into each song. Plus, (and this is a big deal to me) she explains in a "Storytellers" kind of way where each song came from and their inspiration. The audio CD is a great way to hear these great performances on the go. If you like Adele, buy this and then you'll love her.
