THE STAGE — For those of you who may have just emerged from living under a rock, popstar extraordinaire Adele released her greatly anticipated album "25" Friday.

Whether or not you admit to liking pop music of any kind, or Adele specifically, you have to admit that she has an amazing draw and beyond incredible natural talent. Look, even I love Adele, and I generally go out of my way to not listen to pop. (For no other reason than pop doesn't resonate with me in general.)

But while your Facebook and Twitter feeds were filling up with your friends' personal reviews about the album, Adele was teaming up with UK personality and talk show host Graham Norton to play a light prank on a handful of Adele impersonators.

The setup puts Adele in a bad Adele wig as she takes on the personality of "Jenny," a soft-spoken nanny. Adele's mission is to mingle with a handful of Adele impersonators without revealing her true identity, all while they each take their turn to audition for a "talent show."

When it's Adele's turn to sing, the varied reactions from the other impersonators are truly delightful, including some happy tears upon the reveal.

I don't know about everyone else, but for me, it's always a happy day when a mega celebrity is funny and sweet and charming and kind, just as Adele proves herself to be in this 5 1/2-minute video. It's worth every second of watching.
