The unlikely performance came about thanks to the impressive impersonation skills of Craig Ball. Ball hit the stage accompanied by only a piano and delivered a memorable version of Adele’s “Hello” sung as a heartfelt duet between Miss Piggy and Kermit the Frog, _and_ Mickey and Minnie Mouse. He didn’t stop there either. He had Shrek and Donkey, and a downright eerie take on Stewie and Peter Griffin. He ended his performance with a little help from Elmo and _Star Wars_ resident Jedi master, Yoda. It’s a very odd skill, but Ball has mastered it and while it’s not clear how that will fit on his resume, it was enough to get him to _Britain’s Got Talent_ and get a smile from Simon Cowell. ```json [{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"NewsArticle","@id":"https://time.com/4350492/craig-ball-adele-hello-impersonation/","mainEntityOfPage":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://time.com/4350492/craig-ball-adele-hello-impersonation/"},"headline":"Here's Adele's 'Hello' Sung by Shrek, Mickey Mouse and Elmo","datePublished":"2016-05-27T15:12:25.000Z","dateModified":"2026-04-13T07:32:47.099Z","description":"Peter Griffin and Yoda sang too","url":"https://time.com/4350492/craig-ball-adele-hello-impersonation/","keywords":["Newsfeed","Television","Adele"],"thumbnailUrl":"","author":[{"@type":"Person","name":"Melissa Locker","jobTitle":"","url":"https://time.com/author/melissa-locker/"}],"articleSection":"","image":[],"publisher":{"@type":"Organization","name":"Time","url":"https://time.com/","logo":{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://time.com/images/logo.png","width":528,"height":156},"foundingDate":"March 3, 1923","sameAs":["https://www.facebook.com/time","https://www.instagram.com/time/?hl=en","https://twitter.com/time","https://www.pinterest.com/timemagazine"]}},{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"BreadcrumbList","itemListElement":[{"@type":"ListItem","position":1,"item":{"@id":"/tag/time-section-newsfeed/","name":"Newsfeed"}},{"@type":"ListItem","position":2,"item":{"@id":"https://time.com/4350492/craig-ball-adele-hello-impersonation/","name":"Here's Adele's 'Hello' Sung by Shrek, Mickey Mouse and Elmo"}}]}] ```
