Never mind, we will find someone like Adele… to take over the British singer’s Las Vegas residency postponement. Per gossip website TMZ, “Legends in Concert,” the longest-running and most-awarded show in Las Vegas has offered their Adele impersonator to take place of the real thing.

The show is rolling out a spinoff production called, “Legendary Divas,” and is offering free tickets to Adele fans who purchased tickets to the singer’s “Weekends with Adele” residency. Performed nightly at the Tropicana, look-alike Janae Longo is belting out Adele’s hits. The show also includes tributes to Celine Dion, Lady Gaga, Cher and it’s hosted by a Joan Rivers impersonator.

Adele canceled her Vegas residency at the last minute due to being unhappy with the results — various set pieces, a choir, the sound system and other items associated with the show. Several sources say they couldn’t satisfy the “Easy On Me” singer’s production demands, who apparently felt numerous elements “were not good enough.”

• 3. River Lea

  Share

  Based on a real river by the same name bordering the childhood city Adele grew up in. Musically, the song is a gospel song with a ghostly feel with lyrics: "When I was a child I grew up by the River Lea / There was something in the water, now that something's in me / Oh I can't go back, but the reeds are growing out of my fingertips / I can't go back to the river."

The problems she’s going through now this man can’t solve, and she needs someone or something else.
• 1. Lovesong

  Share

  Yes, the No. 1 pick is indeed Adele's rendition of The Cure's 1989 song "Lovesong." 311 also had their own reggae version of the same song in 2004. From the 21 album, Adele's sensual, bossa-nova spin is what sets this song apart from the rest, earning it the top position.
