Adele Teases 'Someone Like You' Video [Archive]

Adele has teased the forthcoming video for smash hit track Someone Like You, after finally making a promo for the song.

The 23-year old, who recently told fans at her Hammersmith Apollo gig in London that the tune "changed her life", can be seen in the short clip looking "sad and vulnerable" as she gazes out over a river in cloudy Paris.

The video, which has been directed by Jake Nava, will premiere in full tomorrow on MTV US @ 7:56 ET and is said to document Adele pining for a lost love. It's a perfect match for the song's jaw-dropping emotional range — raw and unfiltered and incredibly sad but also, in a lot of ways, beautiful and resolute.

Speaking of the promo, Nava said in a statement obtained by our US Team: "The location evokes style and romance. And shooting early in the morning allows you to focus on Adele in this lonely and emotional space."

Last week, Adele also confirmed plans for a 2012 arena tour, telling fans that she has been forced to move her gigs to bigger venues as "too many people want to see my shows."

i'm looking forward to seeing this video tomorrow, she's amazinggg.

oh yeah, here's the teaser video..

I actually love her videos, they're so much better than the normal videos these days, the singer prancing around in her underwear. *not that I don't mind that either :8* but they're interesting

I can't at everyone acting like this is amazing LOL

If another one of the singers who "prance around in their underwear" made a video like this, you all know full well that you'd be calling it boring and lazy. It's just her walking down a bridge for gods sake

But because she's overweight and can sing that makes it all okay and you can pass it off as "real music"

Everyone has their own opinion, but really :rolleyes:

And to the person that said Adele doesn't use "voice synthesizers" - you're really mistaken if you think that ANYONE these days doesn't use effects on their voice on record. If you REALLY believe that she doesn't use it at all can someone tell me why she doesn't sing the high notes in the chorus of the song live? Please don't be delusional.

I like Adele, she's good for what she is but I wish people would stop acting like she's actually making groundbreaking music and videos, when really all she's done is walk down a bridge and sit on a chair.

LOL thank god for this post.

Rare occasion, but if I can.. +REP.

I won't always have internet connection for youtube. I'll only buy a video of an artist I really like, so if Pixie Lott had a new song I'd probably buy the video as I really do love her and think she's great. I think Adele's good, so I'll probably buy her video. :P

I'm not even being bad. I loved her first album, 21 is **** imo and I have no problem with her but it's just the way people talk about her really irritates me.

It also annoys me when people say "SHE DOESN'T NEED A GIMMICK TO SELL" when basically, being so ******* basic and, let's be honest, fat, is her gimmick. It's her "thing". Not disrespecting her for it though, just the people that fail to acknowledge that.

Idk, I think movies and sound tracks is a bit different (I'm probably wrong).

For me, if I like an artist and their video is decent then I'll buy it. That's all.

That's where you're wrong, if another one of the singers who prance around in their underwear were to make a decent video and have a song with decent lyrics that actually meant something to them then I wouldn't be calling it boring and lazy at all, I would be glad that they've done that. It's also got nothing to do with the size she is, if she was "average" size then I would still be saying the same things, what you have just said it a load of rubbish. However, we do have our own opinions like you said.

There is also two different versions of the song, the one that's on the video is the album version and the one she sung at The Brits was different. The fact is that when she preforms live she doesn't sound any different to the tracks on the album really, so even if there is some sort of voice editing it can't be as much as some other artists nowadays.

Congratulations for proving you know nothing about how music is produced and recorded. EVERY artist has their voice auto-tuned for the final product, whether you're Beyonce, Adele, Susan Boyle, Justin Bieber, Ke$ha. Listen to the album version of SLY. In the chorus she goes into her higher register when she sings "don't forget me...", but she NEVER does that live. Why? Because she can't hit those notes, or at least can't comfortably jump up an octave like that. I don't know why they have her going high on the record anyway, the live version sounds way better... To suggest Adele's voice isn't edited is stupid.

To be honest there is no such thing as "decent lyrics" (subjective) and every song "means something" so those points are invalid. I'd prefer to watch one of these women that you describe do a dance routine dressed in whatever the hell they want, in a video with an actual story-line (that "means something"? :rolleyes:) than Adele walking down a bridge or sitting on a chair doing **** all.

Can we get to the point; you will never admit anything against her. You are evidently a big fan (cough, signature). I really like her album "21" - but that doesn't change the fact I agree with Judas on a long.

If an artist writes a song (I know many songs are wrote by others) they will almost always have some sort of relevance to them - so they would mean something to them. I know from fist hand experience, writing lyrics on something you don't really care about is bloody awful - so difficult. Adele could just have easily performed that video walking up a beach in a bikini - and if she had the figure it would look fine, and seem perfectly fine - it could even work better if done at night or early morning with really calm, soothing waves. But she is different to most other big artists in that respect; she is a bigger lady than those.

But yeah, I love her music but it is near impossibly to deny that this video is quite literally her taking a stroll over a bridge. Dang I wish I could make money doing that.

Her label have obviously realised that they can release dirt-cheap videos and people will still eat it up so they needn't waste money on a big production when they will make a huge profit anyway. Quite clever, actually.

All I'm saying is that some artists, not all, come up with lyrics that mean nothing to them and make music for people's eyes rather than their ears. The video from her Someone Like You song is supposed to be showing some sort of emotion and loneliness when she's walking through Paris and I think it fits in perfectly with the fact that her album is to do with heartbreak. I know not everyone is going to be jumping up for joy when they're watching it and I don't expect everyone to love it either.

omg stop, I never said she sounded bad. the only reason there is two different versions is because she most likely cannot hit the notes. and it's not a case of "even if she has"... she definitely has. EVERY singer has their voice auto-tuned. it's standard in the industry.

and yes there is such thing as decent lyrics and songs but there is no song that has FACTUALLY decent lyricsand songs, it is subjective. so you saying that adele is a better lyricist than anyone is not correct. and adele's songs meaning that she is heartbroken is no different to ke$ha's songs meaning that she is pissed out of her mind. to quote you - whatever floats your boat. so you have no right to say that something deserves it's sales more than anyone else because a lot of effort and work goes into making any song.

i don't just like videos with people "half naked", if i'm looking for sexiness I will go and watch porn, I'm not going to rely on music videos. it's just that most videos by other mainstream videos are far more entertaining than adele walking down a ******* bridge. but obviously it is filled with such symbolism, meaning and depth right? i mean adele walking down a bridge in black and white is SOOOOO MEANINGFUL. a true artistic statement right there.

Actually, her lyrics are not any less meaningful than a lot of music in the charts. That's such an annoyingly typical view. And for the artists who do write music about them partying and drinking, that is still relevant to them, just as Adele's songs are relevant to her, so once again your point falls flat. The only way the video backs up anything about Adele is that her whole image is as dull as watching paint dry.

PLEASE tell me what Adele's videos for Rolling In The Deep and Someone Like You "mean" then. And watching music videos and listening to music IS entertainment. You can be entertained by something with meaning... entertaining doesn't just mean comical or whatever it is you're suggesting.

Shot in Paris, the video is in black and white with Adele wandering around the deserted streets of the city. By doing this, it almost makes it seem like she's a ghost, haunting the lonely streets of Paris (which fittingly is the city of love). She appears completely invisible to everyone -- especially the man she most desperately wants to notice her again.

It fits the song very well. Anyway we all have different views on the video and I've said mine:)

Alright, that's your opinion and I quite obviously disagree.

The meaning of the Rolling in the Deep video is basically showing the sorrow of love and anger about realising that the relationship is over, she was basically saying **** you to her bf. Whereas Someone Like You contradicts Rolling in the Deep and is basically summing up her relationship with the guy and how she was emotional and lonely afterwards.

So basically, if I took a picture of my face looking pissed off that would be a really great meaningful piece of art?

Probably not because you haven't written a song about it and made a video. There's much more to the video lol.

please stop trying to make it out that her videos are more than they actually are. RITD is her sitting in a chair singing about being depressed and SLY is her walking down a bridge singing about being depressed. that's it.

Well they actually do mean more than what you're making out, you've obviously got some sort of hatred against her videos so I think we'll leave it at that.

I don't have a hatred, they are just crap. And they don't mean anything you're clearly just fangirling over her and refusing that she can make any error.

I'm not saying she can't make any error, the things you're pointing out are just pathetic.

Pathetic because I'm pointing out my opinion that sitting in a chair and walking along a bridge is nothing artistic or clever?

The logic behind that is about as clever as whoever writes the treatments for her videos.

Nope, pathetic because you keep on pointing out the same things which I'm giving you the answers to but you're just being stubborn about it.

If you actually bother to watch the video you will come to realise that video is not just showing her sat down on a chair.

Yeah but you're answers are bull **** imo. Having an opinion isn't being stubborn. I don't know why you're still trying to convince me that walking across a bridge is meaningful when we clearly have differing views and I'm not going to change mine because you are calling me pathetic because I don't agree with you

And I have watched the video before. And okay yes, maybe it's not just her sat down on a chair. There are also a load of glasses on the floor and a guy playing the drums. HOW ARTSY

I'm not trying to convince you and maybe if you didn't have such narrow minded views then I wouldn't be calling you pathetic. We have obviously got completely different opinions so we're never going to settle it, but yes, maybe if you did take a minute and actually watch the video properly you may understand what I'm talking about.

How dare you think you have the right to call me narrow minded because I can't see the meaning of a woman sitting in a chair? You need to seriously get over yourself and accept art is subjective - people will think differently to you, and your opinion isn't above anybody else's :rolleyes:

And incase you didn't read my post I HAVE watched the video but I don't see ANYTHING in Adele sitting in a chair for 4 minutes. Deal with it.

I know people will think differently to me, which is why I asked for peoples thoughts in the first place. I just don't agree with your thoughts which is why we've been debating over it for the last few pages of this thread, just try not to get offended too much.

You're the one that's getting offended over my views, calling me pathetic and narrow minded for expressing my dislike of a music video.

I'm not getting offended at all, and I'm not calling you pathetic for not liking the music video either. I'm calling you pathetic for things which you're pointing out. Just like I said before you obviously have some sort of hate towards the video's and you can't understand the meaning of them either.

Pathetic for pointing out what things?

And you make it sound like I have some undying vengeance against the videos. I just don't like them because they are so boring. Is that such a difficult concept to get your head around? Now who's the one being narrow minded?

lol this argument is as boring as the video. Maybe she's not gyrating or dancing around with 50 backing dancers. She doesn't need to though as, for a start, it'd look completely stupid with the type of song she has (often depressing, slow ballads). She also hasn't really got the right figure to pull it off. Adele's videos are proof that sex doesn't always sell ;P

well firstly, no one asked you to read the argument, and it wasn't intended for entertainment purposes

and no, it's not proof that sex doesn't always sell, it's proof that something other than sex can sell. even if it is boring as ****.

Yeah the video is quite boring but it disgusts me that people listen to music nowadays for provocative dances and half naked singers, music should be for the joy of listening to it not because there's some fit guy/girl in a video ripping there clothes off at any opportunity! I'm not a huge fan of Adele like a few people are but at least she is decent enough to make a video which shows the point of the song and lets be honest here your not going to get sexy women in a club for a song such as this. Yes everyone has an opinion on the matter but seriously Adele isn't an artist for provocative dancing and songs she is a rather simple artist so stop having hissy fits about it not being entertaining cause that's not what Adele is about!
