In a preview of an upcoming episode of The Drew Barrymore Show, the 30-year-old Unholy singer was seen talking about the rumors involving Adele.The short clip was uploaded to the show’s official Instagram page on January 21. The Charlie’s Angels actress asked them about the craziest rumor they’ve ever heard about themselves, to which Smith told her that many people think they’re Adele because of the similarity in their voices.Smith said:“Everyone seems to think I’m Adele, in drag. ‘Cause we’ve never been seen in the same room together. And if you slow down her voice, it sounds maybe a bit like mine. So, people think that we’re the same person and I’m just in drag right now.” View this post on Instagram Instagram PostThe episode will be released on Monday, January 23.Why do some fans think Sam Smith and Adele are the same person?Fans’ theory about Sam Smith and the 34-year-old Someone Like You singer having an uncanny similarity in their vocal pitch has been on the internet for a few years.A 2018 video shared by Twitter user @iipapi showed how Adele’s voice sounds like Smith’s if the pitch is altered a little, and vice versa.🛹@iipapiI AM SHOOK TO THE CORE.
