Adele is one of the greatest singer-songwriters out there; no one can deny that. Her voice is strong and filled with emotion, and anytime someone attempts to cover a song of hers, you think “Oh, that’s hard!”
Well 12-year-old Violet Grohl, sang this song with no problem. But then again, she’s no ordinary girl. She sang “When We Were Young,” by Adele in front of a huge crowd for a benefit concert for Benioff ICSF Children’s Hospital. Playing guitar for her as she covered the song was her father, Dave Grohl of the Foo Fighters and ex-member of Nirvana.
Together they performed at the Fox Theater in Oakland, California. As Dave is playing, Violet starts to sing the first verse, and right away the audience cheers. This causes a smile to appear on both father and daughter. The girl’s a smile of excitement, and the father’s a smile of pure pride.
Her voice is beautiful, and you can hear her confidence grow throughout the performance. When she sang a high note in the chorus the second time around, the crowd screamed and cheered loudly, and her smile became a little bigger.
I had goosebumps throughout the entire, emotion-filled, and gorgeous performance.
When Violet ends the song, the crowd is on their feet, and her dad sports a proud smile saying “I can’t believe how great she is.” Violet wears a huge grin as they cheer for her.
People in the comments agree with us that Violet’s performance was breathtaking! One comment said, “Beyond beautiful… what a voice.” And another said, “I’m not the only one with tears in my eyes, right?”
To answer her question, no you are not.
