That was a unique idea for a skit and the fact that it was a dating reality show was even better. She did fantastic.

The outfit for the monologue was a mess. Her stylists have never known what to do with her, even now that she's thin.
The monologue wasn't funny at all btw. Very tepid, nobody cared.

Give her a break, she’s not a comedian. She did this because she always wanted to not because she longed to be the next Eddie Murphy.

Absolutely NO one needed a reminder that Adele exists, break or no break. This was masturbatory, at best. Also, she missed an opportunity to roast herself for the whole Jamaican flag x bantu knot fiasco, unless that was the point of the Africa skit? Ol' girl sounded great, though.

I wouldn't be surprised if we didn't get an album until 2022 at the earliest.

Slay me with this truth. NOT masturbatory though!

God I love her. I enjoyed her skits (she killed it with her performances on The Bachelor one)! However, she's one of my favorite celebrities to do the monologue and I feel like she could've done much better. She's so funny yet the monologue was predictable.
Still, that was a hit!

Idk. She did great, she looked amazing. I can see her in comedies and/or a drama for sure.

She looked and sounded gorgeous. Imo, she is the best singer of the girls in their thirties.

this was an underwhelming SNL episode overall imo, but I don't think it's because of Adele. her hair looked gorgeous.

All the skits were mediocre at best. Nice to see her and hear her sing though

She looks gorgeous. I thought her voice sounded a bit damaged during the singing of “Someone Like You”.

There was definitely some wear and tear but that's natural. Don't forget, Adele smoked for many years (she might still, not sure) but...yeah, to be expected. She will still sound great on the album, I'm sure

The episode was nothing special but she looked great and had fun with it. I personally liked the Death Becomes Her ode that her monologue look was serving.

Don’t care at all about any of the critiques. She’s Adele, damn it. I want the album now.

That's great. I wonder how many random other one-off appearances she makes while she continues to work on the album?

Didn't watch it, but watched the singing bits. Hope a new album comes sooner rather than later. The music industry needs Ms. Adele Laurie Blue Atkins MBE.

Stop calling them “skits!” They’re “sketches,” you uncultured swine!

I thought she looked beautiful and hoping for a Spring 2021 album drop.

I don't think I had watched an episode of SNL in, probably 15 years lol, but I thought she did an excellent job (H.E.R. was also phenomenal). The only sketch I didn't think I laughed was the grandma one. Everything else was very enjoyable.

Yeah, as far as SNL in recent years goes, I thought this was a very decent show. I think it's been a while since a whole SNL show is actually great (Betty White's comes to mind as one of the most recent TRULY great SNL episodes -- and that was years ago).
In any event -- are we thinking this future Emmy Guest Star potential (even if ya'll didn't think it was great, just based off name alone)?

I finally got around to watching Adele’s SNL episode and I enjoyed it. The psychic skit was pretty funny and I absolutely lost it during the Africa tourism skit, especially when Adele broke character lmao.
It’s great to see Adele is doing well. I can’t wait for new music!

She's gonna end Miss Rona's career too. Looking forward to seeing it!
In all seriousness, new Adele music is something I was really hoping we'd get in 2020, because it really would've healed. It would've been the icing on the cake that 2020 in music has given. But, 2021 looks to be a much better year in general (or so I desperately pray) and Adele leading us out of the darkness then is just what the doctor ordered!

I'm glad her SNL performance gave her so much joy. Reading my comment back, it was a bit unfairly harsh. I am definitely an Adele fan (When We Were Young is one of my favorite songs ever made) from her debut days on. I think I was more upset that she was going to not use this as a chance to promote a new album, but...if she is not ready, she is not ready. I had no problem with her actual acting. She's a natural. I laughed with her during the Africa skit when she kept losing it. I was like damn girl, hold it together! Then, I remembered how many times I have seen Kenan break and Leslie completely fail and I was like...I can't hold Adele, a non-professional, to a higher standard than regular cast members, LOL. So, in short, am I frustrated that we don't have a new album from her because it would have been an addition to the amazing music we have gotten this year (especially hearing how strong her voice is, overall.) Sis needs to get the album done though, for real. Let's not wait til FALL of 2021. Give us early Spring.
