Although Adele did not write the song, I believe it is not anything close to being an awful cover. Yes, Bob Dylan wrote these wonderful lyrics, and yes, Ronan Keating did a fabulous job covering it, but honestly so did Adele. Her voice is magnificent. And maybe she added a depressing touch to the song, but at least she made it her own. I personally find it tragic that you believe that you'd compare a good, pure, and honest artist like Adele to and over-hyped pop star. This is definitely not in the 'shitty covers' category. If you want to hear a shitty cover. You should've watched Fergie sing with Slash last night at the superbowl. All I am saying is give Adele some credit for this and look at it in a new light. She took Dylan's lyrics and made something of them, and she sang how she felt. This is an example of a heartfelt cover.
