“Chinese Adele” wows judges on China’s edition of “The Voice”
19-year-old Zheng Hong impressed all four judges on China's version of "The Voice" after performing Adele's "Someone Like You" and has now been dubbed by the media as the "Chinese Adele."
Reducing at least one judge to tears, Hong interprets the emotionally charged song with the quiet grace and intensity of a budding professional.

Floored by her rendition of the track, viewers have left comments on the clip like, "Wow, she really is the Chinese Adele! Spot on!" and, "Unbelievable, she had her own voice and style to interpret this song. She touched me even more than Adele. Well done."
Part of her hugely successful album "21," "Someone Like You" was written by Adele about a failed relationship, which also influenced many aspects of the record, and seems to have given her a sense of closure upon completion.
"Well, I wrote that song because I was exhausted from being such a bitch, with 'Rolling in the Deep' or 'Rumor Has It,' " the 24-year-old said. "I was really emotionally drained from the way I was portraying him, because even though I'm very bitter and regret some parts of it, he's still the most important person that's ever been in my life, and 'Someone Like You,' I had to write it to feel OK with myself and OK with the two years I spent with him. And when I did it, I felt so freed."
