It was OK. His range is impressive but he should have taken it down at least a full note. He's pulling his larynx up to the sky and it isn't cute.
One of the nice things about Adele's version is how she uses her lower register, but his low register is worse than hers so this version doesn't have it.

Well, it's really hard for a guy to sing in the original key, even though he's a high tenor. <ost of the chorus is in the 5th Octave, which is similar to a female singer belting out G5s for an entire chorus.
But any capable female vocalist shouldn't have too many problems - the only real technical part is in the bridge when she goes from a belt to lower register and back to a belt.
