Less than two months after its release, the world has watched Adele’s “Hello” music video nearly 600 million times on YouTube — and it’s likely they’ve also seen half as many covers of the singer’s record-breaking hit single on the site. ;
But former “American Idol” contestant Karen Rodriguez has somehow managed to give the single a fresh twist by adapting the first half of the song into Spanish. The singer recorded a performance of her Spanglish version of the song at New York City’s Premier Studios and posted it on YouTube on Tuesday.
;There have been quite a few Spanish renditions ;of Adele’s “Hello” — including Chilean brother and sister duo Kevin Karla & La Banda’s fully orchestrated version which has over 1 million views — but powerful bilingual versions continue to be rare. ;
Not to mention, Rodriguez seems to have a knack for translating hit songs in both languages. The artist previously adapted ;Drake’s “Hotline Bling” ;into Spanglish and Enrique Iglesias’ “El Perdón” ;into English. ;
