Footage from the 41st Annual Kennedy Center Honors, Glenn Weiss and Ricky Kirshner, Executive Producers.
For more than 40 years, the Kennedy Center Honors has redefined America's perception of its artistic legacy and reinvented the way this nation rewards its artists. The Honors have been compared to a knighthood in Britain, or the French Legion of Honor--the quintessential reward for a lifetime's endeavor.

biggest talent ever!!!!!!!

When someone can cover somebody else’s song and move the original artist to tears, that has to be the highest accolade you can possibly get. Well done Adam!
The same as Whitney Huston performed * I will always love you* by Dolly Parton that was also a breathtaking performance 🎭
Bravo Adam!
I have recently heard Cher has asked him to release it in his own name.Thats liking somebody honoring you.
This young man has a special voice.
Totally agree.
Adam Lambert is the most unique vocalist since Elvis. And that performance was one for the ages.
Agree 100%
When you make the original singer cry, make her say “whoa” on your high note, and she gives you a standing ovation when it’s over, you’ve reached BOSS Status
When Adam Lambert takes an earpiece out, you know shit is about to get real. He is incredible
yup you know the ear piece comes out he is about to belt out sounds that make angels weep
Love it! Played it 3X.
True then he shows his talent and that's his rate and he sure has an incredible rate 🥰
But he does that for all his songs
True. I also feel the same way about Kelly Clarkson.
He didn't just sing that, he performed the SHIT out of it.
Yes! Killer performance.
Agree
That is a HUGE reason I LOVE to watch him sing!! He PERFORMS that way on ALL of his songs.
Today's popular singers sound awesome in studio and mediocre in live. While this guy sounds amazing in studio recording but phenomenal live
Definitely
This song was made for Adam Lambert, he sung it with compassion and even Cher had a few tears and said “wow” too. Absolutely love all that he done amazing singer ❤
His voice... holy mother of God is perfection...his range! Man what a talent ❤️ This made me cry
When Cher cries for you, then you’ve done it all.
If a tear can force its way past the excessive Botox on Cher’s face then you know it’s real.
Ernest Sy there were no real tears just fakery for camera to promote the song .. always a money who’re
Nathan Farias promote a song that was done years ago? What are you talking about??
Ernest Sy reintroduce it .. make money off a reissue , cover , get her back in headlines etc
Nathan Farias and who’s being talked about? That’s right, it’s Adam!
2:52 the moment you make a singer cry with their own song... you are something special Adam!
One of her fake eyelashes was falling...
Emotion don't mean tears darling
candy cube Absolutely! Cher is normally so stoic... but her eyes were filled with tears and she gave him a standing ovation!
@@michelleeaton6602 Oh my god really? Oh my god!!!!!!!!! This is the most earth shattering thing ever!!!!! 😐
Like when Heart and Jason Bonham performed Stairway To Heaven when Led Zeppelin were honored. Robert Plant was in tears by the end, both because of the emotion of the song and, near the end of the song, Jason just pointed up to the sky with his sticks like "Look Dad, this is for you."
It Is March 2024 And I Am Still Listening To This Masterpiece, I Am With You.*
You hit the nail on the head...MASTERPIECE !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
❤April 2024.
Just amazing, for about the 50th time ❤️❤️❤️
Pure perfection. I've watched this video at least 50 times.
he’s so criminally underrated i feel bad for the people who haven’t recognized his talent
How is 100m+ views etc on his music videos, 13 million on this one classed as underrated?
Soarific would you also like the point out how old alot of his videos are? In general if you were to ask someone do you like adam lambert or heard of him chances are they dont know who he is, simply just saying how talented he is
@@sk3lut Very true I guess, you are right
@@Soarific And that’s not even counting all the millions and millions of views on his fan based channels plus the many more millions and millions with Queen.
Agree
Who comes back once a month to watch this and be amazed every time. . . Damn what a voice and talent
I can't get enough of it!
*Raises hand*
Adam keeps pulling me back - I can't help myself. What a talented individual - such a lovely LOVELY voice!
I do!!!!
Or more often!
Gave me goosebumps and my hair stand up on my arms. Crazy how touching Adam makes this song 🎉🎉🎉
This is one of the best live performances I've ever seen. What an amazing talant.
He pulls his ear piece out like "I don't need you anymore".
Thats when you knew he was hella comfortable
@@nathanfarias1051 lol what is going on here? You must know Adam personally. Why come to the video if you hate him
@@nathanfarias1051 lol the trolling
@Jeanette Kejling once I realized it, it became funny
Nathan Farias omg you’re a douche. Plain and simple. SMH
This performance by Adam Lambert deserves a Grammy and Emmy nomination.
Totally!!!!!!
That he's not yet been bombarded with them is mind-blowing Diane. The industry must be walking in its sleep to miss it.
@@christinelynn8407 totally agree
Absolutily
well, at this point it could possibly only qualify under the Emmys. gotta be released as a recording to possibly qualify for an award from the Recording Academy. ;)
I love when an artist successfully changes the tone of a song to make it theirs. This is amazing!
This is absolutely phenomenal. I'm literally speechless. As a pianist.....the majority of my work over the decades has been writing arrangements of cover tunes.....basically turning popular songs into piano solos. I have NEVER seen anyone interpret a song this well in my life! While I have never particularly been a fan of Adam Lambert.....I had a lot of respect for him for the work he'd done with Queen. But I never expected something like this from him. This is musical and vocal perfection. I've never seen anything quite like it. Hats off and mad respect for Adam and thank you for this gem of a performance.
🎉 unbelievable performance!😊
agree 100 %
Alright now! You done said it all. Yes! Adam is exactly everything you said about his talent. Hats off to your analysis of his performance.
Check out Adams 'Closer to you'. One of his own songs, the vocals are stunning. 💜
The arrangement is very special here! Who is the author actually?
It’s not only the voice. His facial expressions, his technique, story telling capacity, timing, etc. Adam is a great singer.
He has a strong theatre background, and it definitely pays off in his performances
Artist*
Ggggoorfrv
I watched him live during the Queen world tour and the show was extraordinary! He had big shoes to fit but he never tried to and respectfully made it his own. I'm ao glad I was there to witness it!
hah that's true. you skated all the way around to not mention his looks. there's no talking to yoo-ooo. he foyn. my gay crush from AI. his talent is disturbingly honed. I'm glad he stuck around.
Adam Lambert moves Cher to tears with her own song that she’s sang hundreds of times, that’s something do you don’t see very often
He is so handsome and sings so you havechills
No he didn't. Were you there?
@@tongchow69 You are Nathan Farias . Envious and clueless troll.
@@tongchow69"nO hE dIdN't. WeRe YoU tHeRe?" its literally in the video you trolling piece of shit.
I love his take on this song so much. I really wish they hadn't put Mary Hart on camera
For those who don't follow Adam or have ever seen him perform, when he takes his ear monitor out, it's about to get real. He's one of the best voices in music today and the fact that he's so underrated makes no sense to me.
Could not agree more. I don't know why people sleep on this guy. His talent is unreal. He can sing anything and it's amazing. He is crazy, crazy talented.
AAAAAAMEN TO THAT!!!!!! ❤❤❤
I think we all know why Adam is discriminated against right or wrong what a beautiful piece of music 🎶🤩🙏🏽
Um, underrated? He got picked to sing with Queen. I don't know who's rating you're referring to, but I call that pretty high ratings.
He took one of the two out and then look out audience, you are about to get wowed in a big way. He basically wowed the entire audience and Cher, herself, in the biggest way possible.
4-2024. At 75, never tire of Adam’s rendition of this song 🎶
The way Cher’s jaw drops at the end says it all. Not to mention he brought her to tears with this performance. He’s a gifted singer.
But he's mainly a hard worker of his craft
That was Cher? Couldn't tell. Thought it was Madonna.
@@jm7804 Karen? Is that the best you got Corky.
@@SteimieStinker Another winner Karen. You're on a roll today. Might want to check out that sale soon. They're running low on plus sizes.
@@jm7804 LMFAOOOO please this has me cackling at 9am on my day off
Cher's version is very theatrical with dancers and echo chambers and much more upbeat. Adams version is a ballad and done with only a orchestra and a voice from God. This cover will go down as one of the best of all time by any artist. This is perfection at its finest. I could listen to this a thousand times.
It's absolute masterpiece!And ive been watching it several times a day,for about 6 weeks now!
Terry Mitchell amen to that
Yesssssssss. What you said!!!!❤❤❤🔥🔥🔥
Terry Mitchell Makes me think Cher’s version is awful.
Torchy Swinson Cher’s version was released in the Disco era and was a dance song. This is a theatrical masterpiece where the words and emotion bring you tears. Much better than Cher’s version.
YES!!! I'M HERE 💜!!! JUST WATCHED ALL ADAMS PERFORMANCES ON AMERICAN IDOL!!! TRULY A GIFT FROM GOD 💜💜 🤗🤗!!!
Adam Lambert is so underrated. Wow! What a performance 😮 He's even got Reba vibing
Take a look at this 13-year-old boy singing this song on Portuguese television in Adam Lambert's version. kzhead.info/sun/etKHadKIf3iliJ8/bejne.html
Goose bumps😂❤
Can we just take a moment again to appreciate the fact that this is a live performance. No filters, tweaks, tuning.
@@Mister_Listener um i watched this live feed here in West Village and it sounded identical to this.
@Mr. Listener Because these live events have about 20 cameras pointed in different directions and they are all monitored live in a switch room. Then they look for people who are giving reactions and switch to that camera for a moment before going to the next. It's not editing, it's broadcast media at its finest
@@EnvyInMotion but thats not what the original poster was talking about.
@@Mister_Listener I was rebutting your incorrect assumption that this was edited and not live because of the people's reactions being shown on screen at correct times, which you were using as proof of the idea that this wasn't live.
@@EnvyInMotion ok.
Why is Adam Lambert so underrated....mans voice is incredible...
Because he gay
He's a world class star. I don't think he's underrated somehow. In Northern Europe where I live he's very high rated not to speak about his work with Queen. It might be that is other places other genres are more popular - hip hop, kpop...
Sophie Rachel just bcz he is gay
you need support his solo music a bit more. Not just his singing "covers"
@@Shanti377 Correct. I think Asia likes him more than west.
Goosebumps Adam Goosebumps. John from New Jersey #1 Fan
After hearing this version Adam with no doubt will be an icon for the American music industry
It's September 2022 and I'm still listening to this masterpiece. Who's with me?

Right here.
@@shoegal7 Me too. Always coming back ❤
I'm back listening to it on November 13, 2022. 💙

imagine making Cher cry. You made it Omg thanks for all the likes!!
FACTS!
show
Exactly girl!!!!!! Exactly 💞💞💞💞
hahaha yes!!! he made it!
Fake tears...she’s an actress not just a singer. Otherwise...zero expression. At her age she compliments everyone who keeps her songs out there.
No one can come close to Adam. This is a masterpiece Award. Award. Award
Take a look at this 13-year-old boy singing this song on Portuguese television in Adam Lambert's version. kzhead.info/sun/etKHadKIf3iliJ8/bejne.html
I'm watching in 2024, never get tired of this, adam lamberts voice and the emotion he brings to his songs is just gorgeous. And I love the smiles from the amazingly talented audience recognizing and appreciating him
One of the most gifted male vocalists of this generation, yet he is still so incredibly underrated. This performance of Believe is everything. Cher was not the only one brought to tears.
Totally agree So genuine
Adam Lambert is awesome...
He doesn’t need votes. He is cherished by legends who know he’s a winner!
One of? The greatest male voice that ever breathed.
@@CandleLight1974 I'm not one to casually call singers, movies, songs, etc, the "best." Adam has one of the most dynamic, powerful, and emotive voices of any male singer today. But best male singer of all time? I can't say that. Especially since I grew up listening to Freddie Mercury, Luther Vandross, Lionel Richie, Michael Jackson, and Elton John, among others. Adam is AT the level of those legendary singers, not ABOVE them. Real talk. The only singer, male or female, I attach the label “best” to is Whitney Houston.
Even Cher's jaw dropped. The only review that matters.
Exactly! Amazing tribute. Amazing performance.
Best jaw-drop since Mama Cass was blown away by Janis Joplin at the Monterey Pop Festival in 1967.
Pure Class Adam
Jayden Bluebell so are you saying that’s a good thing or a bad thing? It wasn’t clear
Jayden Bluebell why do you even care if he’s gay?
His recording of this is beautiful, however the LIVE version is most beautiful!!
Now that's a REAL singer!
Anyone else feel like Adam touched our souls and hearts just now?
He's been doing it for 10 years now
Absofrickenlutely!!
From tha 1st day he stepped into the american idol until now
Yassssss
Just discovered this today - I've watched it 6 times already. Deeply touched and moved.
I never realized how beautiful the lyrics are.
It feels as if he's telling us a story...
It so crazy how a slight reworking of a song can you make feel the words more than ever!
Do You love the song dear?❤
the xfactor uk ella henderson composed this version of this song check it out.
@@olecrowey This version was created by Adam Lambert and Michael Orland. It's the fact. Ella's added nothing to it apart from some yodelling.... She should have told us where she's got her inspiration from....maybe from watching the American Idol when Adam performed it first in 2009???
This song, by Adam Lambert, is fundamentally the best song 🎵 ever.
Oh yes April 30 2024, still watching and listening and loving!!
May 16, 2024❤
The beauty of this performance, in my opinion, is that Adam sang this directly to Cher. There were no other people. We were all just lucky bystanders who got to witness his love letter to her. Brilliant.
Well said!!
Her reaction really choked me up ☺️ Just beautiful
James Thweatt. not really. This was a concert
Exactly.. i can sing . But i ddnt dare do it in front of Cher
@@cathyjohnson9043 Nope. It was an award show for those in the performing arts for their lifetime of contributions to American culture. Cher was one of the awardees.
he took his earpiece out with so much confidence.
He also left the right one in. many singers do this so they can hear the room. Great Tribute to Cher!
I think you only need it at the beginning to make sure you tune yourself, then trust your muscle memory the rest of the performance. He is grat performer, like to see more of his live performances in the future.
@@sh1nyarm0r If you haven't already seen/heard his live studio sessions performances of Closer To You and Superpower from his album Velvet, find them here on youtube. They're both stunning.
Wow to be natural..yes and even after seeing many
He's confident and strong without being cocky. Which equates to charming.
Wow.The man can sing ! Master of the craft.
Cher is truly a living legend. it’s not very often that a person can cover an artists song and move them to tears! this is truly amazing and even made me tear up. I just think Adam Lambert has such an amazing voice, and I can see exactly why queen wanted him to be the singer for their band 🤗👏
The real winner of American Idol
always and forever.
There are millions of us that know that is absolutely true.
He did better by not winning he is a shining star and would have had to give up a year to work for Idol and would have not got the opportunity with Queen i hated that he lost but it was a blessing
I've been rooting for him since his audition. Still rooting for him. Forever rooting for him. Adam is flawless✨🖤
He won in life
Someday he will be sitting in that box being honored.
yes speak it into existence!
I agree!
My thoughts also!
That sounds like a funeral lol
well said
I know Adam Lambert does Queen and a lot of Freddie. And also other stars, but at this point with his talent and VOICE he should be considered an ICON himself..no one can match him right now!
I always come back to listen to this masterpiece
it’s so ridiculous to me how underrated he is. he’s a much, much better singer than most of the popular artists nowadays
It might be because of his MOUTH. He has no filter..
Totally agree
@@lisajoy7628 what do you mean ?
But it happens all around the world. All my favorites artist have not a great career if you compare to big one. But talent > all.
because he's gay
From a recent interview with Cher: Believe earned a new life four years ago, when Adam Lambert radically remade it as a devastating ballad at the ceremony where Cher was awarded a Kennedy Center Honor. “That’s one of the greatest vocal performances of any song by anybody,” she said of Lambert’s take, which has earned over 32m KZhead views. “To recreate it so completely with such a beautiful voice, I just thought, ‘Dude, I’m glad you weren’t around when I was doing this!’”(Forbes)
Muito bom , ficou perfeito sou brasileiro tenho ouvido absoluto pra música isso tá muito bom mesmo
He sings with such lovely emotion just incredible nice❤
Trudat Cher!
Ella Henderson did this 11 years ago ... and her version is mindblowing kzhead.info/sun/oribk7NxqJN7aJ8/bejne.html
Foi humilde.
Cher jumped out of her seat! Adam blew our minds with that rendition..❤
I just love Adam lambert. He feels the words when he sings. He's also very handsome.
His version of this song is really helping me get through a rough time. God bless this man’s incredible voice.
Ohhh, hope you're ok.
Hope things get better for you soon. *hug*
Morgan W hope you get better
can't stop listening to this song
Stay strong sis
The man was robbed on American Idol. He's had the best revenge. Sweet success.
Truth.
I stopped watching that shit show after this.
@@nancycowan6109 I still watch whenever Adam Lambert is invited to mentor, judge or make a special appearance. They lost so much viewers right after the finale of AIS8. Even Simon Cowell left I think out of disgust.
@@-jfo- I heard, sometimes he sings in small venues while patrons nurse their beer and enjoying his 68 Twitter followers.
Omg, ok listen. HE CLEARLY DIDNT NEED THAT WIN! LOL WTF IT ALL HAPPENED THECWAY IT WAS MEANT TO. LOL WOW SIT BACK DOWN
Absolutely the best ever. You don’t shed a tear with that, you’re not an American.
I can't get over the fact that he sang "I don't need you anymore" four times completely different. With more conviction every time he repeated it. This man is just amazing🤯
Genius vocalist.
Girl, yes.. 😍🖤
That part really emotional 🥺
That suppose to be deep? That's how song should go. Nothing genius about it really.
@@jacksonaguilar1998 this is a perfect example of bitterness and jealousy. And what have you achieved in life, sir? If I may ask?
This dude is consistently brilliant. He was robbed on American Idol.
I’m glad he and Jennifer Hudson got snubbed. After what Kelly Clarkson went through, they are so much better off.
@@jacquelyngonsalves8779 three best the show ever had, Carrie and Daughtry round out the top 5.
did he not win? what a talented human being!
I’m glad he didn’t win, he’s doing fine without that’s scam😂
it's everywhere the same....
One of the greatest live performances that I have ever seen. Every single person in that room was hypnotized.
Except that couple having a chit chat session while he is singing :D
@@kien0407no one knows what they're chit chatting about. Maybe one is saying..I don't need you anymoreee.😂
The greatest talent of today. 75yrs and love Adam with Queen and as an artist in own right. Thank you Adam
The control he has using his voice is incredible. Every note is on point, the way he can belt the high notes and then pull it back to soft breathy tones. So talented!
I fell in love with this young man on American idol when I first heard his voice he had the baddest voice that ever been on American idol and I'm always being a fan of his no matter what
He is unbelievable
Truth! Always on pitch (even a capella) and in character for the sake of the meaning & emotion of the song. I could tell he was making that breathy part intentionally for effect... Then he repeated it at the end. Such artistry and devotion to his craft! ❤️
Adam is a star rated vocalist. Definitely in the upper tier of the best male vocalists.
@@Lexi_Con I saw/heard those breaths as well…they were intentional and added to the artistry in his singing. Such amazing vocals. Wow, such talent 💜
I wish he and Jessie J would be appreciated more by mainstream music. In my opinion they are the best vocalists of this generation.
Well, Queen know real talent, they collaborated with Adam and Jessie. Adam's been fronting Queen since 2012 for a reason.
AMEN 🙏
Adam yes, jessie j, in my opinion, still has some growth to do
After watching Jesse J on that Asian Singing Contest I was floored that she is not up there with the likes of the greatest vocalists. Amazing!
@@Markyajv At least Jessie had her music played on UK radio, not sure about the US. I think she's never made it over there.
It's March 2024, & I still love this so much❤
God sure blessed him with a beautiful voice.
Amen❤
He's actually one of the few artists who often sound even better live than in the studio recorded.... AutoTune ain't got nothing on him lol
He will be a great artist. Go for that, Adam !👍
Sara Shirakawa that’s funny because Cher’s original version was the first song to use autotune and set the trend for using that tech gimmick.
@ Kelly Kelly - he is already a great artist.
Adam Lambert is not great. He is incredible!!!!👍
Im so happy this is on the streaming services!! At least Amazon
If Queen think he's good enough to replace Freddie Mercury no-one has any right to talk any shit whatsoever. This dude is absolutely magical.
Exactly !
Arr yuu sure abt that🤔
They didn't replace Freddy!
@@iofthetiger67 Not much of a fan considering you don’t know how he spelled his name. Maybe you’re just a troll....
@@sasha07775 nobody in the history of the world will replace freddie. There i spelled it right
Adam is one of the best all time singers!!
He consistently flawless. To the point you just don’t want the song to end. Well done.
I used to think that Adam was very lucky to have landed that amazing gig with Queen. But now I'm starting to think that the other members of Queen are the lucky ones.
I think they are both lucky that they found each other.
Ditto
I was going to say the same thing.
And they know it, and often express it😊
This is so insanely good you can't even put it into words...
I never knew this when slowed down would have so much impact. And for Cher to feel moved, cry, and then stand up. Amazing
This is the most amazing cover of this song I’ve ever heard! It’s not even a cover. It’s a whole new rendition and I love it. Adam is such an underrated singer!
Goosebumps
Kudos my idol❤❤❤
Oh wow, the ‘real’ Adam Lambert commented 😂
I whole heartedly agree!! He made Cher cry.
@@petewebb8052 ⚠no no, no. beware:⚠ these are scammers. ⚠ BTW, Whenever I spot one, I immediately click on the warning flag to help YT with throwing them out of the feed. (I'm just not sure how efficient that is...) I read among the comments that they have already done a number on several unwitting Adam Lambert fans... Be careful. Cheers, Take care. Jen.
This is Adam Lambert at his best. When he reaches and pulls that earpiece out, you know shit's about to get real and raw! Go Lambert, you made Cher cry, in a good way. You are the g o a t.
OOOH ABSOLUTELY!❤️
The best.....
The best
Pure and rare talent= Adam Lambert.
"You know when he pulls that earpiece out shots about to get real and raw!" YES!!!!! I absolutely am in awe of his talent.
One of the great and most memorable Kennedy Center Honors performances.👍🎼🎵🎶🎙🎤
Adam should get an award for that performance.
I think Cher's tears said and did more for Adam than any award could have. But I agree, award warranted, and I think, granted here.
yes as a talentless prat who got lucky on a shit show
@@alanfizzypop9607who is talentless? Adam Lambert is the only one with incomparable artistry on AIS8 in 2009. Adam Lambert has been singing since he was a child..with 5 successful solo career Albums and as Queens frontman for over 10years.
🙏🙏👏👏👏👏
Should be awarded
What a shame Adam is so underrated. He's in a class where only a few can stand. Outstanding performance!
people who actually appreciate and know what great vocals are know him, he’s undoubtedly one of the best male vocalists out there
Yes OUTSTANDING! I've got chills!
Adam Lambert is the best! He has a beautiful and powerful voice and he can sing any musical style!!!!!
I dont understand why people say he is underrated.. He is recognised all over as an outstanding talent... Adam Lambert is world class and the entertainment industry knows it...
Is he underrated? Not to me. This performance is spectacular
Adam Lambert just proved he knows what the lyrics mean in a song. He was visceral in that delivery. This is a Master's Class in song performance. Well done!
Job well done!!! What a voice!!!
So true. My 80 y/o mom said "he has obviously been thru things in his life by the way he sings" when I played this for her. She recognized the emotion! Incredible
Yes. He really does.
Amazing that’s the ultimate of Adam Lambert !
What was the device that was in his ear and why do you think he ripped it out? If it’s supposed to help him with the music or the words why bother wearing it when he doesn’t want to or it is distracting him?
That was an incrediable performance, I am happy someone can sing that well. It is so good it is scary.
It's 2024 and I still go back and listen to this. Absolutely fantastic.
❤me2❤
He didn't just sing this song, he WAS the song.
Facts!!
Yes that’s why I loved it He feels what he’s singing and expresses it
I quite agree... he was amazing :)
Lydia T agree! 💕
Absolutely agree! He is Fabulous.
Adam Lambert absolutely deserved that standing O. Even Cher was impressed after hitting that note. Amazing.
3:09
Adam sang that with such deep feelings that it was impossible not to feel the words of that song and no doubt Cher had to think of Sonny...her first love and song writer,music director partner in their music business.. Great Job Adam!
But we didn't need you to point that out
@@lovineveryminuetofit1314 Goad to do it & no charge..YW.. your lucky day! Carry on.

3:08....this is what I love and look forward to always..the texture, the control, those high notes!!!!!!!! Been a massive fan since American Idol!!
You have it treu
Me too!😀😀😀😀
Same would wait to call in to vote for him every dam time 😩😂
Same here He's a legend
He's grown a lot after 2014.. His singing changed a lot too..
If Cher gives you a standing ovation , you " GOT IT ".....!
Or it's all rigged and he was meant to win this singing competition......
Babe
@@Alusnovalotus Love
@Chris Black Yes, aliens do cry too.
Oh, first, that's the best I've seen Adam look in a while (he's a handsome young man) and second, his voice and performance on that song could never be perfected any better.
Every time I watch this I get so excited when he takes his ear piece out because you know it’s about to POP OFF ❤ love this so much I cry every single time
Is it just me or when an artist pulls out the headpiece you know they’re about to go all in and you’re like YES GO
Yesss! They’ve found their rhythm and ready to blow. That’s with the melody needs to keep up!!! 🙌🏼
Lol
Now i have to watch and check on which part he removed his earpiece
He didn’t have that side in to begin with. You can see how far out it sticks compared to the other side that sits almost flush inside his ear. I have a set of those. They are molded to your ear and do not come out that easily. But yes, that was awesome
yes ! Adam "I don't need you anymore "
Mama CHER must be proud of him. Like many great vocalists, he's also underrated. Well done to this performance Adam, well done.
Check his new music: kzhead.info/sun/iquwpdyAh2WLrKM/bejne.html Velvet it's out!!
Adam has one of the most incredible voices I have heard. There just doesn't seem to be a song out there that he can't sing beautifully.
This cover does the lyrics justice. The slower tempo allows the words to sink in and forces the listener to really listen and hear the lyrics. Beautiful and so emotional. 🥰
And, the answer is yes.
Not only slower but sounds like it is in a minor key putting a sad and mystical tone to the redentions original major key.
It’s his own version
Better than Cher.
I love how every face in the audience that the camera turns to is completely mesmerized or wrapped up in this performance. Like many other commenters here, I also return to this performance every once in awhile. It’s just stunning.
Yes, the entire audience was in complete awe of his performance. I’m a musician and I’m 58, I think he may have the best voice I have ever heard !!!
I just found this and now I have joined the gang! He can basically sing the 2 repetetive verses as many times as he wants n I swear each one sounds different from the other..
Even Cher was moved
Like the stuff he does with Queen he always puts his own style to the performance . I am convinced . Adam Lambert is outstanding
Before I watched this I had just checked Adam out singing Mad World on Idol! Hauntingly beautiful! He’s a talented guy! And he came in second that year on Idol!
You have to appreciate the fact this man is all class. He knows when to curtail the makeup and fingernail polish. When to dress accordingly. To honor the SONG and not himself. When to look every inch the modern man without the flamboyance he does so well. This man is one in a BILLION. Do ya feel the love, Adam?❤
Jesse Cole I can’t agree more!!!!
He's also very good at letting other people shine. I've noticed that when he sings duets, it's not about him, he lets others have the glory.
He's probably the best male voice of the last 3 decades (the '80s were blessed with many exceptional voices).
@@FlorinC1984 he's the best voice ever, he'd have ruled the 80ies were he adult enough...
You have said this so well. Been watching some of his interviews and he is one of the most humble men I have heard
