From polished professionals to more amateur musicians, tons of singers have lent their voice to the heartbreaking song. Though _obviously_ nobody can top Queen Adele, plenty of artists have certainly done the song justice. Here are a few of our favorites. ### ### ### Demi Lovato The singer performed a powerful, emotional rendition at KISS FM’s Fall Ball in Seattle. ### Joe Jonas (dressed as a sad clown) Jonas and his band DNCE managed to make their version a bit more melancholy than the original. The clown costume is a tad distracting, though. ### The Southern University Marching Band Okay, so some people have[ argued ](http://www.slate.com/blogs/browbeat/2015/12/02/adele%5Fs%5Fhello%5Fcovered%5Fby%5Fsouthern%5Funiversity%5Fs%5Fmarching%5Fband%5Fis%5Fhilariously.html)that this cover is actually not so great — but it’s worth a watch because it’s just such a ridiculous spectacle. ### Karen Rodriguez The _American Idol_ alum performed a gorgeous, bilingual rendition of the tune, weaving together English and Spanish. ### Cam The country newcomer put a lively, twangy twist on the tune, accompanied by an acoustic guitar while reading the lyrics on her phone. ### Shawn Mendes The 17-year-old Internet sensation — one of TIME’s most[ influential teens](http://time.com/4081618/most-influential-teens-2015/) of 2015 — shared a 15-second snippet of his acoustic “Hello” cover. Fans are anxiously waiting for the full version. ### Molly Lou Bartholomew The certified American Sign Language (ASL) interpreter showed that the song is just as emotional when performed in sign language. ### Sabrina Carpenter The _Girl Meets World_ actress channeled Adele by walking up to the mic in a big leopard-print coat. ### Taps Mugadza The Zimbabwean singer put a soulful, gospel-esque spin on the song just a few days after its release.
