With Grammy-nominated songstress Adele on vocal rest, fans have to get their fix of the British diva wherever they can. That must be why a YouTube video featuring an Adele lookalike singing her hit, 'Set Fire to the Rain,' is growing and growing in popularity!

The visuals, which feature an actress who may as well be the singer's twin, jive with the feel of Adele's actual videos -- which tend to be on the moody, darker side. This particular track, off Adele's CD, '21,' doesn't yet have an official video companion, making this YouTube gem all the more special.

Check out the faux Adele's tribute to her favorite singer in the video below (and keep your fingers crossed that the real singer gets her voice back soon!).

That has to be the best not real video I have ever watched.
I can't believe that isn't her. Also the guy who filmed it is amazing!

Play both videos together with one just a head of the other. What a terrific duo.

That's Adele singing, not this person (she's lip synching).

She does look like Adele, but she's clearly not actually singing. She's not even good at lip syncing.

Lip syncing in person may require some skill... but on video it's really more of the editors job to match with the sound... idiot.
