Cher took to Twitter after the performance and struggled to express how moved she was: "Tried to write feelings about Adam Lambert singing 'Believe' in words, but can't seem to. When your senses are overwhelmed all can you feel with your [heart emoji]," adding: "I was shocked and over the MOON."
That was greatest I couldn't stop crying such a tribute to Cher I know she was so touch to hear her song turn into a master piece I need to buy that song if he get to make it I love it when Cher madeit was great I can not stop playing it until today still my favorite song he is so great when he lost on American Idio I cried because took it from him UT I said then that God had other plans for him andook at him today .akei g millions and where is the one that won ??
Love your reaction to this performance, you made me enjoy it even more, thank you. Adam Lambert doesn't get nearly the respect that he has earned, his talent is beyond amazing. How can anyone listen to him and not melt into a puddle? I'm an old granny and I listen to Adam every day, I go into a dream land where I'm young and healthy again, and I bless him daily for that.
Honestly, He probably has the greatest voice of all time, I saw him live with queen, and I saw queen with Freddie, to be truthful, he was better, different, but,better. He could sing the phone book, and still be awesome, so underrated.
He said he was nervous when he did this performance. You can see his hand shaking. Anyone else would have not be able to deliver this performance, that is how good his vocal mastery is. Brilliant.
I still get goosebumps every single time I listen to this performance. Adam is simply amazing and even better live. Your reaction was so meaningful and genuine!
That arrangement was phenomenal! It looked like Cher was trying to keep her body from leaving Earth on that one! Loved the chromatic build up before the ending!
I think your reaction was one of the most open and honest reactions I have seen of this performance. The fact that your emotions took over is a testament to not only Adam's brilliant vocal performance but his stage presence as well. His facial expressions conveyed his heart felt emotions as well which added more weight to the lyrics. Thank you again or another wonderful reaction. I would love to hear your reaction to one of Adam's original songs, Closer to You, live session.
Adam is currently on The Voice Australia and we are so thrilled to have him bring his superb talent downunder. Brilliant performance, such a genuine response. Thank you. ❤
Adam is a freak of nature. Besides John Farnham and a couple of others, Adam just sends chills up my spine when listening to him. His range just is 🤯🔥. Very nice reaction 👌
I got to see Adam with Queen and my word!!!! Freddie would definitely be proud. his vocals are out of this world and yes, he made this song his own. I hope I can be so privileged to see him again live. great reaction!!
Thank you for giving this man the compliments he deserves ! I’ve been just like you after ALMOST everything he has ever done ! Tears.. legit tears! Hes successful but still very UNDERRATED in my books ! Why aren’t they throwing awards at him instead of others? 😔 he’s amazing ! Thanks for this!
I adored Adam on American Idol and still rewatch his performances. Saw him live right after that. This is one of my favorites in recent years. Thanks for your emotional reaction. 😢❤
Thank you Charlie! My heart is happy now knowing that you've seen this. I can't believe no one had requested this before, I knew it was a special performance that would resonate with you. I was a new mum at the time I saw this so I cried for about an hour afterwards haha (Silly hormones) But even Cher tweeted that she struggled to find words because she was so honoured and overwhelmed. Yay :)
If you think this was fabulous because it was superb, I recommend that you watch Adams cover of "Holding out foe a hero". It will blow your mind as well. He's such a talented artist and performer. Hence why Queen + Adam Lambert tours have been such an enormous success.
It was an extraordinary performance. Cher’s responses totally validated it. p.s. and what I love so much about your channel is how real your reactions are to performances like this that truly are mind blowing. And yet, you picked up the cord changes ( which I think was amazingly).
I’ve watched this to many times to count. I get chills all over and tear up. I have loved Adam since AI. He was my favorite right from his tryout. His voice is amazing and I don’t think he gets enough credit. ❤
He took that song from just another club beat to a beautiful meaningful ballad so so beautiful that it even brought Cher to tears love ❤love❤love Adam lambert a one of a kind & love❤ the meaning you get from this version
He brings out the true meaning behind the lyrics. I'm not at all surprised it brought tears to your eyes. It does mine - every single time I watch and listen to this ❤❤❤
There is a lot of good artists and songs, but songs that awakens emotions are on another level itself! And artist that can make that happen are also on another level of pure talent.
I am so happy that you brought up Cher seeing this and her reaction. After I watched this, I realized where she was, how they were honoring her life, and how much she must have been thinking about during that particular moment. She was trying to keep It together. I mean… if we were all crying, can you imagine? She must have been on quite an amazing journey right then, because there was (as you said) enough distance from the song, but … the chord change at 6:38 would have finished me off.
I think my fave moment is the millisecond of stank face Lin gives for how epic that climax was before it cuts back to Adam. What a night this Kennedy Centre Honours was.
He also sang with Cindy Lauper at this award show. Kelly Clarkson sang "Fancy" to honor Reba, her mother-in-law at the time. They showed Adam in the audience and, as always, he was an involved listener as Kelly sang.
I have loved Adams voice since he was on American idol. He has an absolute stunning voice. I saw him sing this the first time it was shown and now and every time I hear him singing this song I get goosebumps and I cry. Adam we have now and I so appreciate his talent
I love how you felt so strongly about his great performance as I also felt. I have listened to this seemingly hundreds of times as he was so powerful. You should also check out Cindy Lauper and him performing at to close the show singing "I got you Babe" Sonny and Cher's very famous song. Cindy also had a solo before that which as outstanding and the banter between her and Cher was fun.
Wasn’t that completely awesome. He is absolutely amazing. I’ve seen him live twice with Queen, I would say they were the best concerts I have ever been to. Thanks as always for your great reaction. 👍❤✌️
I remember seeing this for the first time several months ago, I was so profoundly moved I sent it to all my friends and family and of course cried! Just as good as it gets!
Loved your reaction too. After the performance Cher tweeted”Tried 2 write Feelings About Adam Lambert Singing “Believe In Words,but Cant seem 2.When Your senses are Overwhelmed All Can you feel with your ❤.”
I have so many favourite singers, my John Farnham has been special to me since I was 13 (69 now). And will always be #1 then i heard Adam sing, wow and fell for his voice and the man, yet now Dan Vasc is the best ever, Adam in second spot and John will always be in my heart 💓 Love your reactions and I was able to see your respect of Cher 👏👏👏
Love all your reactions❤ This is absolutely amazing, I happened to be watching the Kennedy Center honors when it aired, my jaw hit the ground and I was weeping, so good. I feel like this is the version Gabriel Henrique covers on his channel. Cheers and Thanks!😊
If you haven’t heard him sing while he was a contestant on American Idol Season 8, I suggest you give a listen to those. His Ring of Fire, Tracks of My Tears, A Change is Going to Come are a “few” of his standouts to me. Feeling Good wasn’t too shabby either. Enjoyed your honest reaction to this. Adam does that to A LOT of people❣️
Outstanding performance by Adam. This is the same night that Kelly Clarkson also performed Reba McEntire's "Fancy" in her honor. Two stellar performances on the same night was just special. Check out that performance as well.
Charlie Smith your reaction😮is by far the best I have seen..it was incredible ..the amazement and joy you showed was truly genuine..Adam has the most amazing range and always delivers..thank you Charlie ❤❤
Adam Lambert's voice is beyond anything I have ever heard. Second only, in my opinion, to Freddie Mercury. Just awesome. I absolutely loved his version of Ring of Fire, that gave me goosebumps ❤.
I like your accent. I like your beard. I like your staircase. I like your Gramophone. And I love that this moved you so deeply. This one's a keeper. I watch them over and over. I'll be back to see more of what you've got, so to speak. Nice video, lad.
A lot of folks thought this is one song nobody could cover like this, since Cher used autotune on her voice to deliver the original vocal. Adam smashed that notion. Love your reaction!
One of the top male voices ever! And yeah I cried too!
Just one more example of why queen picked him .. he's absolutely beyond amazing
Cher took to Twitter after the performance and struggled to express how moved she was: "Tried to write feelings about Adam Lambert singing 'Believe' in words, but can't seem to. When your senses are overwhelmed all can you feel with your [heart emoji]," adding: "I was shocked and over the MOON."
That was greatest I couldn't stop crying such a tribute to Cher I know she was so touch to hear her song turn into a master piece I need to buy that song if he get to make it I love it when Cher madeit was great I can not stop playing it until today still my favorite song he is so great when he lost on American Idio I cried because took it from him UT I said then that God had other plans for him andook at him today .akei g millions and where is the one that won ??
Cher .. front man for Queen.. on Broadway .. so much more.. !!
Love your reaction to this performance, you made me enjoy it even more, thank you. Adam Lambert doesn't get nearly the respect that he has earned, his talent is beyond amazing. How can anyone listen to him and not melt into a puddle? I'm an old granny and I listen to Adam every day, I go into a dream land where I'm young and healthy again, and I bless him daily for that.
He had that audience in the palm of his hand and he made Cher cry! Amazing performance from a true talent.👍
Adam Lambert has one of the purest voices alive today. He’s a true legend.
Honestly, He probably has the greatest voice of all time, I saw him live with queen, and I saw queen with Freddie, to be truthful, he was better, different, but,better. He could sing the phone book, and still be awesome, so underrated.
He's not underated
Adam took Cher’s song and made it so much more interesting, full of texture and emotion. A masterful performance!
I've listened to Adam's performance numerous times. It has to be one of the best Kennedy Honors performances of all time.
Thanks for another great Adam reaction!
Cher reportedly said recently ‘that was one of the greatest vocal performances of any song by anybody’!
I love how every face in the audience that the camera turns to is completely mesmerized or wrapped up in this pertormance. It's just stunning
I had the pleasure of seeing Adam lambert with Queen last year and it was the best concert I've ever been to !!!
Loved your emotional reaction. Cher loved it so much she allowed Adam to record it as a single. ❤
😮😮😮😮😊❤
Such a stunning and emotional performance! Adam had Cher in tears ,one of my favorite Adam performances.
And he was jet lagged having just flown in from Europe that morning. 😍
Absolutely stunning!! It's like it changed the meaning of the song...going from upbeat to slow
He said he was nervous when he did this performance. You can see his hand shaking. Anyone else would have not be able to deliver this performance, that is how good his vocal mastery is. Brilliant.
That's rare for Adam
To have Cher react so emotionally to her song, reducing her to tears. Wow!
Yes.... That part
Your reaction was gorgeous. Thank you for this moment together,
I have loved Adam since his American Idol days. He is a judge on The Voice Australia at the moment.
Adam is awesome. His musicality is marvellous
I still get goosebumps every single time I listen to this performance. Adam is simply amazing and even better live. Your reaction was so meaningful and genuine!
Adam Lambert is always OUTSTANDING!
Pitch perfect.
I saw Adam and Queen, live. One of the best concerts of my life. Fabulous night of entertainment!
This is just the best live performance I’ve seen ❤
I agree I could listen to it every single day it blows my mind!
Adam is a magnificent creature 💙
I love to see a new person react to this phenomenal performance for the first time. I can listen to it over and over and are amazed every time
That arrangement was phenomenal! It looked like Cher was trying to keep her body from leaving Earth on that one!
Loved the chromatic build up before the ending!

Brilliant performance, such a genuine response. Thank you. ❤
When he got up an sang Whole Lotta Love on the fly - absolute fire!
Adam is a freak of nature. Besides John Farnham and a couple of others, Adam just sends chills up my spine when listening to him. His range just is 🤯🔥. Very nice reaction 👌
The Kennedy Center Honors have produced so many unbelievable performances.
I got to see Adam with Queen and my word!!!! Freddie would definitely be proud. his vocals are out of this world and yes, he made this song his own. I hope I can be so privileged to see him again live. great reaction!!
There are many singers with beautiful voices, but Adam has much more than just incredible voice. ❤
Stunning, as always.

Great reaction, thank you. Pls do more Adam reactions!
Great reaction to an epic performance. Have a look at Adam + Queen Love Kills
That ending belting note is worthy of rewinding a few times and hearing it again!!!
He's an absolute phenom! Awesome reaction. So real. ❤
No words are needed ♥️♥️♥️
Oooh I loooveee your reaction to Adam. Beautiful. Thank you
I love Adam. He's made me cry and laugh. When he sings there is joy and heartbreak. His voice tells stories.
Well said. I agree wholeheartedly.
And he was jet-lagged, having just flown in the morning of this performance.
Gorgeous arrangement too. Acoustics are apparently top notch at the Kennedy Center… can only imagine being there! Can tell by Reba’s expression too!
Great reaction - great music moves me to tears too. This is my preferred rendition of that song.
I adored Adam on American Idol and still rewatch his performances. Saw him live right after that. This is one of my favorites in recent years. Thanks for your emotional reaction. 😢❤
Adam is amazing, I love this performance.❤️
Adam deserves everything that comes his way. Yes, this performance was perfection.
Thank you Charlie! My heart is happy now knowing that you've seen this. I can't believe no one had requested this before, I knew it was a special performance that would resonate with you. I was a new mum at the time I saw this so I cried for about an hour afterwards haha (Silly hormones) But even Cher tweeted that she struggled to find words because she was so honoured and overwhelmed.

"I am shooketh." Amen!!!! Same!
He took that song from just another club beat to a beautiful meaningful ballad so so beautiful that it even brought Cher to tears love ❤love❤love Adam lambert a one of a kind & love❤ the meaning you get from this version
He brings out the true meaning behind the lyrics. I'm not at all surprised it brought tears to your eyes. It does mine - every single time I watch and listen to this ❤❤❤
I feel like Cher's version is more of a party song, but Adam draws every bit of emotion out of every single word.
I absolutely replayed this like 50 times! then I have watched almost every single react video to this version. he is flawless
This moves me to tears every time! Adam is magical! Loved your reaction. You can't beat perfection.
I got to see Queen and Adam Lambert in Australia just before COVID shut everything down and my god it was amazing!
Pls do on the moon acoustic will blow ur mind
When music is so beautiful it brings tears to your eyes you know we are blessed to hear it. This is love. K D Lang can bring us this same bkessing.
I love your Adam reactions! I watch them MULTIPLE times!
My favorite performance by him
Simply stunning … yet again! Also, congratulations to you too, Charlie on reaching 100k. Well deserved. X
There is a lot of good artists and songs, but songs that awakens emotions are on another level itself! And artist that can make that happen are also on another level of pure talent.

Amazing, kind, caring, talented gentleman who is Adam Lambert
Goosebumps. Adam really gives the best tribute and gift to Cher. What a beautiful thing to watch her in tears and awe. Well done you! Wow 🤩
He also sang with Cindy Lauper at this award show. Kelly Clarkson sang "Fancy" to honor Reba, her mother-in-law at the time. They showed Adam in the audience and, as always, he was an involved listener as Kelly sang.
I was blessed to have attended 2 live Adam concerts.
I have loved Adams voice since he was on American idol. He has an absolute stunning voice. I saw him sing this the first time it was shown and now and every time I hear him singing this song I get goosebumps and I cry. Adam we have now and I so appreciate his talent
I never gave Adam Lambert credit, bad on me, this and him are amazing!
I can watch this Adam performance over and over again 🫶

Please listen to Adam Lambert singing Queens, Who Wants to Live Forever. It will change your life ❤❤❤❤

I remember watching this when it was first televised. Sometimes we're just watching a show and boom! Musical magic that stays forever.
And to do that in front of Cher!
Outstanding performance by Adam. This is the same night that Kelly Clarkson also performed Reba McEntire's "Fancy" in her honor. Two stellar performances on the same night was just special. Check out that performance as well.
Please do more Adam . I LOVE THIS REACTIIN❤❤❤
Absolutely Beautiful, what more can be said! 💜
