Adam was in such a different league than anyone else that was on this show.
Years later I always come back to watch these.
Me 2. Always makes me smile.
I don't care what anyone says, I think Adam is still the best contestant AI has ever had!
Yes, imagine him and Caleb Johnson in the same season! I wish it happened like that.
stepayyy Caleb was only rock. Adam could do anything from A to Z.
Yeah Caleb was great but Adam is on a league of his own
No one will ever match Chris daughtry, have you ever listened to his songs or heard his special voice?
By FAAAR
Many people don't realize that Adam planned his own staging. He was the first contestant to make use of the lighting and props (eg. chair or stairs) etc. He doesn't just stand there and sing like the rest. He was involved with everything, and he's the only one who gave credit to the musical director and Assoc MD/arranger (Rickey Minor and Michael Orland) during the show. Rickey said unlike the rest, Adam really made full use of his email to communicate with him on his ideas. He styled himself, he ran home to get his own platform shoes to perform with KISS (and we can see the shoulder cage thing on the crocodile jacket was from the Zodiac Show), he had different stage personalities and he set different moods for different songs.... When the season 9 contestants asked the backstage crew who was the best contestant in history, they said "Adam Lambert". He was in a totally different league compared to the rest. Rickey said he was very honored to work with a singer with that level of caliber.
Nu am
Agreed! I doubt the show would've added such fitting props (ie. giant stairs XD) on their own. And I just love how he always acknowledges the band! Saying this as someone who plays instruments, I'd adore any singer who acknowledges his accompaniment. The jamming thing with the pianist and the background vocalist was absolutely heartwarming to me.
I agree with you, he made it look more like a collaboration than just them being the "background sound allowing him to shine". He is aware that every single factor is equally important for the quality of the final product.
Music theatre meets American idol
What a beautiful comment ;-;
This guy has a range of vocals that is just WOW!
Girl*
Shaik Mohid But he is a boy...
@@chiara8005 lmao he's not 12. He was 27 or 28 here.
Idol has never had anyone that could touch this. Neither has any other singing show. There have been some other great singers, but this guy was just by himself as a live performer. Just incredible.
Years ago. YEARS ago. And we're still looking, watching, commenting. Tell me, how in the world did Chris Allen win over this? I guess television wasn't ready for Adam Lambert at the time. So handsome, so talented, such charisma.
+ImmaMink You mean Chris Allen the car salesman(Ford)...
+Alan Nunes - Oy, I didn't even spell his name right Kris Allen. My bad. I guess I was seriously unimpressed with Mr. Allen. :)
Kris Allen is a nice guy, a good singer and Adam's friend..not far as good as Adam obviously, but it is not Kris fault that USA is homophobic :/
@@carolfagundes1980 It had nothing to do with any of that. I think it had to do with the fact that by the end of the show Adam already had major deals lining up and winning American Idol, by contract, was going to require him to do all kinds of crap he didn't want to do. By losing, he was released by some of that allowing him to team up with Queen.
It had to do with Arkansas TEXTGATE VOTING SCANDAL WHICH APPARENTLY STARTED EARLY IN THE COMPETITION.
C UA-cam VIDEO
7 years later and I still am amazed with Adam... truly one of the people who went on American Idol and became famous and big. Even on the show and after he was humble and kind to everyone, he didn't become a diva whatsoever
+tess rzeszutko Adam has a lot of outstanding wonderful traits, but that one that stands out is his humility even until now that he has gone a long ways his humility is so touching and admirable. God bless you Adam!
13 years later!
Adam gave that backup band a fun time - especially the drummer! He was rockin' it with Adam!! He totally controls that stage - flawless!!
This was quite possibly the best vocal performance ever on the show. I can understand how some people didn't like the changes he made to the song - any time you take an iconic song and switch it up that will happen - and that's fine. However, vocally, there is no one on that show who can touch it and very few other singers, period, could do it. Absolutely insane vocals.
The season of Adam on Idol..... none better before or after. Idols' true pinnacle.
Holy shit! His high note is so fucking boss! What a badass singer!
Miles Skillman I know right? What a voice!!! Just breathtaking!! #GlambertForever
He hit that top note four times in 25 seconds.
Underrated comment!!!!!
I still get goosebumps every time I watch this! Adam Lambert was the best singer this show has ever had.
And American Idol hasn't reached this level of excitement and perfection since Adam lit up the stage
I loved when he was flattered by Simon saying it reminded him of the rocky horror musical.
At the part where he really belted (almost end up to the end) , I felt myself literally stop breathing. His voice is so dynamic, perfect, and beautiful. And so is he ;)
Lei Deleon He is the only singer who has the ability to make me feel a rush! He teases, he builds you up, he lets you go to take a little breather, then he builds you up even more and then hits you with a climax! Orgasmic!
I thunk you mean Adamgasmic
He would have blown anyone on The Voice! He took the world by storm and I still do not understand why he isn't bigger than he is. When you are asked by Queen to perform, it doesn't get any better than that!
He was ahead of his time. If it had been nowadays, he would certainly have won!
Here we are 5 years later still watching & admiring this young man's talent..he is the best singer/performer today. I'm too spoiled by his greatness to continue watching idol..I hope the best for future contestants but I found my idol. Grateful to have found the true talent.
13 years later!
Adam has the most beautiful male voice ever and has power and showmanship and helps boy not afraid to dress up was given good basic package but he is also willing to do extra work very talented
Brings back memories of many classic rock and 80s metal singers who had exceptionally strong and agile voices in the upper register. Hands down one of the most technically sound and impressive performers to ever go on any tv talent or singing contest. Very refreshing to see a singer with range, power, technique, prescision and finesse on stage, radical departure from the usual folk amd house singers who all audition for these shows and all sound the same. This guy Is the real deal. Has the goods and puts them to use in his singing. I would love to see him cover some 80s metal songs, he brings something unique to the stage and his work with queen has been flawless. He needs to do the halftime show at Super Bowl.
one of the best singers to EVER be on american idol.
He is having so much fun singing. It's nice to see someone loving something so much.
I watch this video over and over Adam Lambert is an Impeccable performer ❤
i wonder how it felt for the rest of the contestants to sing, week in, week out... and know that there was no way they were as amazing as him
So true
The difference between him and all the rest is that, while they are all great singers, he is a great performer.
This is the MOST EXCITING performance ever! His energy is incredible! People actually jump on their feet to applaud for him in the end! I don't think I've ever seen an audience's reaction as such before on Idol. He's the most unique and the best!
Adam's Born To Be A Star !! Love this performance so much especially the last note in the end of this song !! Love Love !!
Unforgetable performance. There were many good contestants in AI, but Adam is really unique.
After Adam Lambert i stopped watching american idol because no one is vinna be as good as him.
LOOOVE HIM"
+jacqueline saidi here the same..I found my idol!!! He defiitely killed AI..
its like I was hoping there is someone like him on the next AI but nooo..no one
+jacqueline saidi I imagine you are a young girl saying that, but guess what I am 65 and to this day I can not forgive and forget America for not choosing ADAM, and stopped watching american idol too. :-)
what a beautiful voice, a beautiful person....
He literally went there already as an artist.... Like look how he sounds people!
He totally nailed these G5s in this performance!
Love that this vid hit the million mark. Of all Adam's performances, this was my favorite. Everything from his appearance to the arrangement to the WILD SCREAMS was perfect!! I still squeal like an 11 year old when I hear this, and it's been years since he was on Idol!!!!
Rock God in the making.
Saw Adam perform with Queen in Chicago on Thursday and OH, MY GOD. He was born to share the stage with Brian May and Roger Taylor. His rendition of Who Wants To Live Forever and Love Kills gave me chills. Everyone was on their feet through most of the show. I've never, I repeat NEVER, seen people in the United Center respond so energetically to a performer before. Well done, sir.
am I the only one who was shaking from how good this performance was?
Adam Lambert is fantastic!!! He is the best!!!! 👏👏👏👏👏👏
2019 (2023) and I'm still amazed with how tallented Adam is! Like WOW
People being like 'he butchered this song' it's called a cover, he was supposed to make it his own, and he did, and he rocked it. You can't argue with an amazing talent like that!
@@conniewolf7300 or some people just have different tastes, but way to feel superior.
It was terrible. Worse than Constantine butchering that Nickelback song!!!
my gawdddd now thats pure talent
i remember this is the last american idol i watched
just because i see someone like adam
"It WaS A LiTtLe BiT LiKe ThE RoCkY HorRoR"
*smiles* "I love that musical!"
The best version of that song I have EVER heard!
this is one of his best performances in terms of vocals 🙌🏻❤️
I can't believe he didn't win! The best singer in the world ❤❤
In my opinion, Lambert did not need to win American Idol. With his controlled vocal range and Stage presence, he was in a league by himself and any record company would pick him up in a heartbeat. Cannot say the same for the other contestants- they can sing but they did not have the entire ensemble as Lambert. They needed to win American Idol in order to get picked up by a record company.
When Simon jerk commented about the rocky horror show and Adam was like ' I love that', i literally smiled so wide! So proud of him!!!
His pop music is actually incredibly good, and I'm a rocker. The blend he's made (pop, funk, disco, electronic and a rock spirit) shouldn't work, but he makes it work. Unbelievably talented guy. And the vocals? Oh my God. His technique is flawless, the control, the power, the innate talent to interpret the songs... Wow. Amazing. And what a performer! He has the whole package, it doesn't matter what kind of music he makes.
Gorgeous eyes! Amazing voice!
This performance still makes me so happy ❤👏
I watched American Idol's last season. NO one compared to Adam. His talent out ranked them all. Someone had commented that probably the reason he lost was his lifestyle and that could have been. I have lost count of how many times I have watched this video.....LOL.......I am 65 yrs old !
I love how after rocking out every performance, Adam does a cute little smile at the end :)
Let's give respect to the Musicians Here. Especially the Drummer. Adam Definitely gave him a workout!
Look at Freddy Mercury, he was gay and he knew how to rock. In fact, he kicked ass as a rocker. And as for Adam, he can rock just as much as Freddy can.
I'm glad Adam joined up with Queen.
@@conniewolf7300 Adam has been the frontman for queen since 2012. He still carries his solo career. He does both. He just finished a Las Vegas residency in Sept. with queen.
I really think that American Idol could never be a hit show after Adam Lambert. No one can top this guy. And as far as if it won or not? He won! keep rocking and entertaining us, Adam. Love your voice. Moves aren't bad either, just saying.
THE BEST!! THE BEST SINGER, VOCALIST, PERFORMER AND MAN. NOW THIS IS A MAN WORTH IDOLIZING, HE'S HUMBLE, UNDERSTANDING, AND TALENTED. NOT LIKE SO MANY CELEBRITY'S TODAY WHO HAVE NON OF THE MENTIONED QUALITY'S.
The world's been waiting for a long time for a STAR like Adam....full artist's package as he described Elvis Presley...he has it as well !!
What is wrong with that Simon dude? That cover was fantastic. Captured the energy perfectly.
+Behemothokun Simon is clueless when it comes to anything but pop genre.
Behemothokun Nothing, Simon lovvved Adam. He's just stating his own opinion because that's his job. He can be a major douchebag sometimes not gonna lie... I'm pretty sure later on during the elimination or something he said it wasn't intended as an insult and laughed along with Adam over it.
He knows he is great, he just provides contrast. It would be boring if everyone just said "you're great" all the time and never said anything else to him.
They had to criticize him on another level/ standard. So they are never actually saying he is not good, because there is no doubt that it is, so they are critiquing on a creative genius level and usually when people disagree creatively and have different opinions on his renditions that actually means he is incredible and is pushing the boundaries.
my god I love this man!..there has never been a better singer on American idol..he should have won hands down!...have not watched the show since!
no contest...love him!
Adam is by far best American idol performer ever has incredible vocals and is sooo underrated one in billions
Adam Lambert has 4 multi-platinum albums, 2 of them in first place on billboard, 3 sold out world tours, a grammy nomination, he has sung before an audience of 500 million in China, he has won 40 world awards, he is the best singer in the world, a fashion icon, a defender of human rights. With Queen he has made 6 tours with 218 shows totally sold in 42 countries before 4 million people, a # 1 album in various countries, a documentary that is the # 6 most watched movie on Netflix in the world, winner of the best band in rock in the world. So Adam Lambert is a winner and you are just a loser that Queen and Adam don't need, their shows sell out in minutes.
Lambert is a born performer. He can do ANYTHING.Love how he just takes over that stage. He OWNS it, & everyone in that audience was floored. A born STAR
Adam is such a surprise, such joy, singing so well that we are stunned!
He has emotions, power and best pipes ever! Best contestant ever he give every song his own spin. ❤❤❤
its 2014 and im still watching his idol performances. i NEVER get tired of his voice he's truly amazing and im in love with him and his voice like crazy
Never get tired of this all time favorite, still loving it in 2016
Still loving it in 2022!
I’m watching it again in 2022. Always remember this fantastic performance.
You know Roger and Brian listened to everything he did before they took the risk of bringing him on board. Apparently it was good enough for them!
That was so fucking good holy shit
Wow... This is good. Rock star
LOVE THIS MAN HE CAN MAKE ANY SONG HIS OWN!!!!!!!!!
This performance will never be touched, in terms of being so kick-ass.
That last what-ever-the-hell-it-was totally hit all the kickass notes already in existence and created like .... idk a few dozen new ones? OAO It's a damn Big Bang in the universe of music! I can never get tired of it!! I'm a pretty late Glambert due to limited internet abilities, but I'm not stopping any time soon.
ha ha Simon "a little too Rocky Horror" and guess who's playing the part of Eddie made famous by Meatloaf in the upcoming remake of TV!!?? I Love you Adam!!
Kittycomere and he was epic there!
Adam is a true talent,not like others singers!!First of all the voice is what makes you a big star!!!.👑.🌟
This year is the last season of American Idol !!
This guy is the one of American Idol that I never forget !! Love you Adam Lambert !!
Adam was light years ahead of the competition. and being in the theater at an early age didn't hurt either.stage experience let him focus on the song and not the stage.
I really liked what he did with this song. It's not a karaoke party. Nowhere it is written that you have to sing it like in the original. He sang his own version of it and he had a right to.
He butchered it!!!
Adam Lambert never butcher anything. He's a trailblazer. Years after this 2009 rendition, many tried to sing like him, tried to copy his version and each of them failed.
You know what, I'm so sick of all the 'he ruined it' or the 'he made it gay.' When YOU can sing like that or YOU can hit those absolutely insane notes, maybe your opinion will become valid. Recognise talent.
Look lady, I understand that you and a lot of fans really don't like this kind of comment but he is gay and he will never sing a manly song by the correct way and we will never like it so, RESPECT other opinions.
Have a nice day :D
Pedro Henrique Bertini do Amaral I agree with her because the comments people put could hurt someone's feelings, but I don't like disrespecting other peoples comments either so i'm not saying this to be rude :)
I understand that people will always have different opinions, but I certainly don't think you have to respect bigotry. I understand that some people are homophobic or racist or sexist but I do not have to respect there opinions because I believe that what they say in not only wrong but hurtful. Also, how exactly IS 'manly' the correct way? Is there even a correct way? Because I thought that all music was open for interpretation :)
True and I guess you don't have to respect them if you don't want to, but that's just the nicer approach. I also think that 'manly' isn't really a way of singing, it's just that males sound different when it comes to their personalities. Again not trying to be rude to anyone(just incase). :)
Thanks for the reply :D It is good to see that you are not a ordinary hater about to attack my opinion, and before I forget I want to you to know that I really understand your position and I respect your opinion too :D
i love how paula was standing from the beginning lol ❤️
Lambert's total recorded vocal range spans from bass E to B flat above tenor high C (E2 - B♭5), giving him three octaves and six semitones.....rock artist Meat Loaf rated Lambert's voice in the company of only two others, Whitney Houston and Aretha Franklin, based on "that jet pack quality to their voice that just lets it take off." You are simply BRILLIANT Adam...there hasn't been as great artist as you are in ages on stage...God Bless!
Marianna G. This E2 was really brief and weak tho. Most accurate would be A2-Bb5.
Nekros97 most accurate would be starting from D2... His lower register has expanded since...
pankakesnotstellar But he's a high tenor. His D2 will never be as good as that of bass or baritone. Even his A2 is already weak and E2 is just a humm.
Nekros97 he's not a high tenor, it's not his type of voice even tho he goes very high, he's a lyrical melisma tenor... You're comparing types of voices not notes they can hit... And Adam hits notes quite clearly...
High tenors/contratenors have a female sounding voice when speaking normally... Not Adam.
pankakesnotstellar Adam actually has a very high and feminine voice (he mostly talks between D3-G3) He doesn't sound manlish. I consider in vocal range only notes that are good, resonant and loud. I can go down to G1 with modal voice but I lose my resonance on C2/B1 so I don't consider this G1 in my range. Neither should Adam.
Adam is truly blessed
this guy got it all, the looks, the aura all kind of different sorts of music, from rock till ................whatever
he has absolute control on his voice..
One of the best performances and contestants in the history of America Idol..Wonder why Allen won when it was pretty obvious that Adam is far better than him.
I agree, but it's now 5 years later and it's plain to see who the real winner is.
Its pretty obvious why Allen won over him. Not exactly a fair reason...but
KbroScaper What do you think is obvious?
The fact that Adam was gay, is why Chris won.
KbroScaper That's a very real possibility. However, It is now 5 years later and I challenge anyone to tell me now who the real winner was.
Lambert is the best Idol contestant..he has it all!!!
he is the contestant that actually used the whole stage as well as caleb johnson who would ineract with judges as well as the people were playing with him on the stage! i loved adam lambert and caleb johnson! i never been a fan of heavy metal really, but his energy and voice sells it for me.
10+ Adam has it all in this video. Looks, charisma, and a perfect singing voice. He reminds me of a new version of Elvis Presley.
I miss him so I'm watching these again 😂❤ unlike most of the people, for me this was my favorite one 🥺❤️ it really suits him. I hope the next album be sth in this genre 🥲❤️🥲❤️
That boy can wail. Never thought anyone else could do super fuel injection into this iconic rebel anthem.
One of his very best...he is SO very talented...Love everything he does.
Now that was just AWESOME and EPIC!
ADAM's performance was stellar ... better than the original!! LAMBERT Outlaw
I love this man....Adam Lambert !!!!
...and the whole band is rocking out!...lol... That's Adam for you!
+hancar Did you notice the string instrument side? They were waving their bows in the air!!!
He is born STAR.
Nah I disagree with Simon on this one. This was one of the best performances on Idol ever.
He’s so wow ... ❤️❤️🔥🔥🤩🤩
the incredible of the last note!! Adam is the best forever. Nobody can beat him.
How on earth did he not win!! I forgot how good he was FROM THE START
I will never understand how he didn't win this season. He was by far the best of them all, and certainly over Chris "What was his name?". The fact that I can't remember his name says it all...while Adam is well known around the world. Still, NOT winning was probably better for Adam anyway. He was able to cut the album he wanted without being obligated to meet certain AI standards. Well done, Adam. I knew you'd make it!
Absolutely stunning...
adam lambert is like a cool villain of singers,
OMG Paula! You are so like a teenager at an Adam Lambert concert....lol! I love this! ;-)
Notice the violin bows at 1:02. Those musicians know what a great rock performance is, even if Simon is stuck in pretty boy pop land. :-)
