While addressing the crowd, the singer called out the fan for trying to turn the live show in a home movie. “Yeah, I want to tell that lady as well, can you stop filming me with a video camera because I’m really here in real life,” she said as she pointed to the woman in the crowd. “You can enjoy it in real life, rather than through your camera.” Adele continued: “Can you take your tripod down? This isn’t a DVD, this is a real show. I’d really like you to enjoy my show because there’s lots of people outside that couldn’t come in.” Watch fan-filmed footage of Adele’s take-down below: During another recent live show, [Adele was caught on camera apparently forgetting the lyrics to one of her songs](http://www.nme.com/news/adele/93794 "undefined").
