With all the negative media she’s getting for her personal life, it’s rather easy to forget what a wonderful and talented vocalist LeAnn Rimes is. Her cover of Adele’s “Someone Like You” should help the world remember.

Performed at the Nebraska State Fair in Grand Island, Nebraska in early September (but, for some reason, the video is just now getting media attention), the cover truly rises to the standard set by Adele in the original.

And, in all fairness, it’s very hard to top or even match whatever Adele does.

While putting her own spin on the heartbreaking ballad, LeAnn manages at the same time to pay tribute to Adele’s version, in what has been deemed by fans online one of the best covers to come out in recent months.

Those who want to hear more from the country singer can go out and buy her brand new album, “Lady and Gentlemen,” also an album of covers.
