American audiences need subtitles to understand Adele.
The singer’s British twang is so thick that US viewers are having problems understanding her, according to the Mirror.
In a bid to aide viewers, some TV channels have added subtitles.
KTLA station in Los Angeles aired an interview with the Hello hitmaker earlier this week and transcribed the chat with subtitles at the bottom of the screen.
One fan tweeted: “Watching @Adele on #BBCAmerica and have to put the subtitles on? Girl your accent is thick and sexy, love you!!”
Adele isn’t the first Brit to prove problematic to US ears.
