Here is why, over a decade later, remains the essential artifact of her career.

The concert stops for this song. There is no band at first. Just Adele and a piano. The camera does a slow push-in on her face. You can see the micro-movements of her jaw, the tears welling in her eyes, the desperate swallowing of grief. Halfway through the first verse, the crowd realizes they are witnessing something real. They stop screaming. They hold their phones up, but silently. When she hits the key change—“ Never mind, I’ll find someone like you ”—the audience takes over. 5,000 people sing the chorus back at her while she stands in the spotlight, utterly overwhelmed, laughing and crying simultaneously.
