Adele sings 'Hello' with Jimmy Fallon, The Roots, a toy phone, and classroom instruments
Maybe Adele should have started off "Hello" with a ukulele. On Tuesday night, The Tonight Show posted a video of Monday's guest, Adele, singing her hit song in a small greenroom with Jimmy Fallon and The Roots, using a dinky drum machine and a bunch of instruments you might find in a grade school music class. These "classroom instrument" sessions are almost always a great way to show off a singer and the song, and "Hello" suffers little or nothing from being stripped down to, in some cases, acoustic toys. Still, it would be nice if The Roots left the kazoos at home next time. Watch below. Peter Weber
