I'm going there next! Oh, and have you done "Queen in Five Minutes" by Voiceplay yet? I can't recall. IT's excellent, fun, lively and also pretty darn good! LOL, no, it's fantastic, it really is. Say, you wouldn't happen to be a fan of Pirates Of The Caribbean, would you? Because if you do I'd like to recommend (sorry, last one here ,I swear!) you look up The Hillywood Show's musical parody of that movie. A truly epic channel. All fan funded, but some of their parodies are even better than the actual movies and shows! 💙
This performance is for tv, without Queen and for people to sing along to. You should look at one of his live Queen performance, especially as a fan of the song. Thank you for another interesting and insightful reaction! 🤗❤️
Adam /Queen has other versions of this song where he goes all out. But Adam is Adam, As Adam says he is a fan of Freddie’s, not trying to be or imitate Freddie, there’s just 1. He only trying to sing Queens songs with justice. He’s been with Queen now 10+years, still selling out crowds. I believe that says it all. Hopefully you do “WHO WANTS TO LIVE FOREVER” w/Queen & Adam. But it must be from ISLE of WRIGHT festival please 🙏 it’s very special
If you decide to watch it, I'll suggest you "The O2 Arena London 2018" because it has a good sound quality and filming and they had use this one on their live around the world album. Like most of their live performances with Adam, CZcams has deleted this from their official channel but you could find it with a good quality in a channel named "ROCK n METAl" and also They've put all their live around the world's album performances 💖✨
Adam was born to sing with Queen. His originals are excellent too. The rendition of his original "Closer To You"(live sessions) is one of my favorites! He's just stunning. Thank you for showing the differences and similarities between Adam and Freddie. I just know that Freddie is well pleased to have Adam carry on his legacy with Queen.
Alright, more Adam Lambert & Queen! Thank you so much for this. You really should watch their performance of Who Wants To Live Forever from Isle Of Wright. Divine.
That's what I was going to say. He is so respectful of the original artist. So respectful in fact, that he never EVER tries to copy the great Freddie Mercury. He sings the same songs making them his own, while paying homage to an amazing icon.
Oh man, I wish you had reacted to the version from the Live Around the World album. So much more to appreciate there. Still, I appreciate you, and hope you will consider Adam’s own music, specifically from his album “Velvet”, the live performance of “Overglow”.
I have always loved Adam and his music. He is extremely talented as well as a gorgeous man. I love to watch you when you react as your eyes sparkle. Shows how much you love your music.
I do love Adam.. i love some of his less theatrical too but i feel its important to keep in mind he is a theatrical performer but he shows such huge range and variety and is just an amazing vocalist no matter what hes singing. That being said.. i do think he thrives live and the videos are purposefully expressing all his theatrical abilities. Personally i love him and his voice! ❤
Oh man... I would have preferred any other version. I love him and love hos he sings this but I would have always preferred a live versión on a show... I was a bit disappointed, but if you were not given any directions makes sense that you go with what you need. The ones on the live shows with the public are INSANE.
That's a shame I never received any comments about a specific live performance (from my searches of the comments), so when I search for a song the logical thing is to go for the one with the most views and that seems to be a studio version, rather than picking one of multiple live performances that span many years
Thank you for this reaction!! I’ve been a fan of both Adam Lambert and Queen as separate artists for a long time and have seen them perform together twice in Chicago. There are definitely other performances by Adam I prefer to this one but I understand why you picked it! For your next Adam reaction, I highly suggest Who Wants to Live Forever at Isle of Wright 2016, Closer To You live session, and Whole Lotta Love American idol live :)
Wow! Adam IS a truly great singer. Very skilled. Very versatlie. Brave to step into these huge shoe's. I wonder what Adam's fans think HIS own most iconic song is?
Adam is a Rembrandt with his voice being his medium. Every note is precisely placed, but he makes it look effortless. I haven't heard this song in a long time. Adam does it justice. You probably couldn't react to it, but there's an older video called "Lady Gaga ft Adam Lambert Marry the Night." The channel is Bryan Fernando Velez Flores. It's a brilliant combining of Adam and Lady Gaga singing "Marry The Night." It's amazing! You'd think it was a duet! (If you've never seen Adam's performance of MTN on Glee, I strongly recommend checking it out, it's so...so...SO ADAM!) And there's a great mashup of "Whataya Want From Me" + "Bad Romance" (Mashup) - Adam Lambert & Lady Gaga on the channel Dylan Egan out there! 💙
Here is a much better version of the full song sung live in concert with Queen at the O2 in London, April 7, 2018. I hope you can react to this version as it really showcases Adam's vocals and does the song justice.. Adam is absolutely amazing live! czcams.com/video/nSkHHoYxok0/video.html
Fantastic reaction and analysis as always Sir H!! 👏 Which piece you picked is irrelevant - a better or worse performance of the same song sung by the same artist - your reaction and dissection is superb!! Thank you for a genuine, intelligent and heartfelt take on this performance. Actually - on any performance! We're blessed to have you do them! 🙏❤🌟

Sir H! I can just picture you as a little boy cruising in the car with you Mum singing alongside Queen and Freddie! Hahahaha! Did you subconsciously wonder then about harmonic progressions, key changes or chord sequences?! Hahaha! I watched this Adam video a few times now and I have to say - it's a wonderful analysis on so many levels. 🌟Every time there's something new I've missed before. People I see are desperate for you to do the O2 or similar of Adam with Queen so they can re-live the experience through your eyes, ears and expert review....So maybe in the future due to popular demand? But I loved this take on Adam - absolutely brilliant! Thank you SH! Waiting for more magic from you! 🪄💫🙏♥
You know I hope you could react to the live version that he had sung in their concert. This one is a really good version too. I really love and enjoyed Adam's beautiful voice, power and control and also his passion, stage presence, drama and showmanship, but as you also said it's a reduced short version and lack in the production and instrumentals.We don't have That beautiful guitar sounds, the bass and that dramatical beat. and you know they even improve the production and make it more dramatical. So I hope you could watch that one and react to that too or if you can't at least just watch and enjoy it for yourself because like you it's my favorite song from Queen and I guarantee you will love it.
Thanks for the reaction. I agree with you that Adam Lambert has an incredible 'rock' voice. I do really like the fact that he respects Freddie Mercury's unbelievable talent and doesn't try to copy him but brings his own flavour to Queen songs. He is flamboyant and has incredible range like Freddie though! I don't know if it's true but I read somewhere that when Adam Lambert had become established as the lead singer with the group, Brian May was happy for it to be just 'Queen' but Adam said that wouldn't be right because Queen was Freddie Mercury to him, so he wanted it to always be 'Queen with Adam Lambert'.
More Adam Lambert 😍 Please watch one of the many suggested live performances with Queen of this song, just for your own pleasure. The O2 one is very good. You'll get all the bits that are missing in this one 😊 For future reference: If you want really good quality live ones for Adam and Queen, go for the ones from their live album "Live around the world", The Isle of Wight festival ones from 2016, the O2 performances from London 2018, The Sydney performance from 2022, The Las Vegas IHeart Radio Music Festival in 2014, The New Years performance from the BBC in 2014 or the New York Citizens Festival in 2019. All of these were televised and/or professionally produced and both sound and pictures are excellent. I specifically recommend Who wants to live forever from the Isle of Wight. czcams.com/video/9C6DPHosZZg/video.htmlsi=rRb1AVKN8sDwyhOH But do have a look at his solo stuff as well. Some suggestions: Closer to you (live sessions)czcams.com/video/lnaEWxv_fhA/video.htmlsi=Tv8OCudo77amjrFX Feel something (live sessions) czcams.com/video/w_tALF6-YNA/video.htmlsi=AShgoSJoyhvCrWCs Sleepwalker (live performance) czcams.com/video/TZACqNnO9-E/video.htmlsi=jYoAZ7R8-n-noB4H An acoustic version of Whole Lotta love, which is basically just Adam freestyling and letting everything go on stage (live performance) czcams.com/video/1ljb_JsvUEc/video.htmlsi=Gi_LOaUUQS23UZN8 He did this last one on American Idol as well, in the more classic style 😅
I’d like to have seen you to react Adam and Queen doing this song live, as Adam is their current frontman. The song deserves the full live version with Brian’s guitar and Roger’s drums.

@@SirHairlessUnfortunately all official live versions with millions of views were removed from CZcams by the Queen management when Queen released Live Around The World album with Adam Lambert.
Nightwish AND Adam? Two of my favourites, please continue with any of them :) Ghost love score at Wacken for Nightwish and Who wants to live forever live at Isle of Wight 2016 for Queen + AL. Both absolutely amazing!
Thank you for your reaction. It is unfortunate that nobody recommended a specific performance, which apparently led to your choosing The actual Disney Singalong version. Any live version that you could have chosen with QAL would have provided a better example and allowed you to have a more representative experience, especially if you want to compare him to other people singing TSMGO. The Live Around the World version is top-notch. Although there is a faux video online, Freddie never performed TSMGO live. Unfortunately, he was so gravely ill that he was able to heroically sing it straight through once. After that, studio work was done by the remaining members. It would be great to see you react to QAL “Who Wants to Live Forever”? Isle of Wight 2016. This might be Adam’s most famous performance with QAL and with good reason.

Thank you for another brill analysis Sir H. I love Adam Lambert and also Dimash, so after some of you saying that you preferred Dimash’s version, naturally, I was curious and have now heard both versions. I found that actually, I would much rather Adam’s version. His gorgeous rich and strong vocals really suit this song and his more straight forward style for this appeals to me more than the over thought Dimash version. Each to their own I guess! 🌻
Have you listened to Forestella's version of Show must go on?If not, check it out, you might enjoy it!So many awesome artists covering this iconic song and each version brings something different!
Hi! Thank you for pointing in Forestell’s direction. This is indeed magnificent and WOW! what an opening! Just loved the guitar guy. “The show must go on” was an excellent song choice for the three of them with their bass singer having recently parted to complete the honourable national service. They really pulled it off in a Freddy way didn’t they! Strong, slightly gravelly vocals produced in a felt and entirely meaningful performance. They put all they had into it. What do you think? 🌻
@@user-rn2fu3bf9k I loved everything about their version,the guitar solo opening,their vocal arrangements,Kang Hyung Ho was 🔥, totally in his element with the other two members supporting him beautifully!I suggested it to @SirHairless because I know he is going to be surprised,firstly because they are a trio at the moment and second because he is going to see another side of the countertenor whom I know he appreciates a lot!
I so wish you had reacted to the very first time he sang this Nov 2011 at the European Music Awards. It was unannounced and shocked everyone It was a medley of three songs opening with The Show Must Go On
This is one of my all time favorite songs by one of my all time favorite bands - thank you for still managing to teach me so much about the original and this cover. While I love Adam, I absolutely adore Dimash’s cover.I hope we will get to see a reaction to it soon. 😁 Thank you for your wonderful work! ❤
You should actually listen to Adam’s live versions with Queen. The album “”Queen and Adam Lambert live around the world” would give you a true comparison as it is the entire song. This performance was a completely different production than every other of the hundreds of times Adam sang it so I would not call it “Adam’s” version.
Voz incrível!!!! Suas reações são sempre carregadas de muita técnica e respeito 👏 Por favor reage ao Gabriel Henrique feat Coral Black To Black e banda cantando Stand Up postado em junho no seu canal oficial no CZcams.
This is a very toned down version. You should watch his live performance of this song with Queen. He sings on a higher key than Freddie in that version.
so many other performances that are much better than this one but , yes, he is amazing live, I have had the privilege multiple times with and without Queen
Adam Lambert is talented with a beautiful voice. This particular rendition seems more focused upon vocal performance rather the emotional tone of the original. Your analysis increases my understanding of the song - but I prefer the cover of this song by Corvyx.
This is so TAME. Adam can really make this song fly but simplified it for the singalong thing. Try “Who wants to live forever” Isle of Wight. Well worth a listeb
Yeah look as good as this was it's not the one to have reacted to. Him on stage with the boys Live at th O2 is a million times better. This was for a special, it doesn't have the same feel as a fully live concert. PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE watch that I beg you.

DO YOU KNOW ABOUT THE CHINESE SINGING COMPETITION EVERY YEAR? IT IS CALLED THE SINGER. THUS YEAR IT WAS DECIDED NO AUTOTUNE OR GIMMICKS SO A LOT OF FAMOUS SINGERS DECIDED NOT TO GO. WELL, ADAM LAMBERT DID. WHO WON THE SINGER 2024? ADAM LAMBERT DID. ON THE LIVE SHOW HE SANG "WHATAYA WANT FROM ME". THIS MAN'S VOCALS ARE INSANE. SEE, I AM NOT JUST A PENTAHOLIC ( OK MAINLY)😂 GREETINGS FROM SOUTH AFRICA
Where did you take all that information from? Well, it is not correct. I'm Singer/Singer is a competition with no autotune or pitch correction from the very start of the show. This season is season nine. What's different is that this year for the first time all episodes are broadcast live. Also, beside the 500 on-site audience, a 500-international online audience was introduced.The season premiered on May 10, 2024, and is projected to end on July 26, 2024. Adam Lambert took part in one episode only as a Foreign Guest Challenge Round, which was successful. No information about whether he will further participate.
Adam does an amazing work, however I prefer Dimash’s version. Even at his young age and newness of the English IMO Dimash showed more emotion and performance was smoother. Thank you for your reaction. I look forward to watching your reaction to Dimash in the future. Queen is a favorite of Dimash.
I hope this doesn't sound creepy, but I always notice when you play piano that your fingernails and hands are perfectly groomed. You have beautiful skin and eyes. Add that to your musical insights, and I think you are pretty remarkable. Everyone should hear now and then that they are appreciated and we appreciate you.
Reaziona anche alla versione dimashosa di "show must go on" da the singer. Sono curiosa, perché come per "Hello" D. 'se l'è cucita addosso' (as we say in Italy). Thank for you reaction
Thank you. Adam has a beautiful voice and I fell in love with him when he was American Idol. I loved his interpretations of well known songs. I have loved his work with Queen. I think that I like him best when he does covers. Have you heard Dimash's 'The Show Must Go On'? czcams.com/video/ul3kpE1qcow/video.html
Queen was lucky to get Adam. I can’t imagine anyone else able and brave enough to follow in those giant footsteps that Freddie Mercury left. 😅❤ That being said, I really like Dimash‘s version. Because, well, it’s Dimash. ❤ And it’s also very different from the original. 😊 But when you react to it SH, remember he didn’t speak any English back then. So please imagine him speaking his own version of English. His own cute Dinglish dialect. (You English speakers got so many dialects, that no one understands…so what’s one more 😉) Just mentioning this, because some reactors get distracted by the pronunciation and don’t pay attention to the incredible vocals. 😔
Pity this version was chosen for a reaction, just a sing a long, Much better to have chosen a live performance from one of their tours, especially the 2018 version at the O2 which is on QAL ‘s Live Around The World album!

This was quite interesting for me! Thank you for introducing me to it - it is some years ago that I heard Adam Lambert singing. I LOVE this song and it normally always brings me to tears, and still I can't really stand hearing him singing this song. I must admit that - after all these years - I don't like his voice in Queen songs. It is obviously (always) a question of taste, but for me his voice is somehow narrow, a little bit squeaky, and I don't feel the emotion. George Michael was a fantastic singer and had a beautiful voice that somewhat could "replace" Freddie... I love Dimash's version of the song much more, although he couldn't speak English yet and had to give "all in" in every performance of the show so that it might feel a little bit "too much" - but: I feel the emotion, the energy, and the richness and depth of his voice is insane, given how high and powerful he can sing. But I just love that Dimash always sounds round and full and beautiful, no matter what and where he sings.... 😉😘
Hello! Jimin's new album 'MUSE' will be released on July 19 with its title track 'WHO'. Can you react please? You can also react to his pre-release 'Smeraldo Garden Marching Band' feat LOCO. Thank you 💜
I’m such a fan of Adam, his voice is really awesome. His voice sounds authentic but I do find his theatricality does detract from me feeling truly connected to the lyrics and emotions. Still a beautiful performance.
Adam is obviously an incredibly talented singer but I still prefer Dan Vasc's version of this song. Fewer vocal antics and more pure, powerful singing. Thanks for your very astute analysis of this performance.
@@autumnpalmer4468 I love the version of Who Wants to Live Forever by the Canadian group The Tenors. I love that version. Though they wrote a number of songs specifically for Highlander, Queen never actually released a soundtrack. The songs can be found on their 1986 studio album ‘A kind of magic’. (wiki)
@@lstapes7 If you watched the intro to this video you'd find your answer. I've heard Adam only once before, and the poll won with 'The Show Must Go On'; not any specific performance. I don't know the standard of live performances so it's natural to go for the version with the most views and the one that seems 'safest' - for example, when you search for a new artist to discover their music, will you go for a live performance or a studio performance that has more views? Maybe you'd go for a live performance which is a bit more risky - but when I'm making a video on it which is an hours-long commitment, I can't afford the time to take such risks. If I don't receive any requests for specific performances, there's no way I can know to react to them 😅And I won't watch these videos before I make a video on them, because then it's not a reaction. It's easy to scold people in retrospect, once you're already a fan of the artist and once you already know their performances. So whilst you may not be able to begin to fathom why I did this version (which I explained in my introduction 😉), it would be better for you to point me towards a specific performance, rather than complain. Because it's really not something worth getting angry about ☺Thank you for mentioning any live performance would have been better - that's quite useful. Although I don't doubt that when I choose one live performance, there will be comments saying "you should have chosen this other one!" (it happens every time ) You also say "it would given a more accurate idea of Adam’s performance of this song". This performance I reacted to is still a performance of the song, done by Adam Lambert. It's just a different one to the various live versions out there.
Check out my previous reaction to Adam Lambert next! czcams.com/video/EhH_o9PNXLg/video.html
I'm going there next! Oh, and have you done "Queen in Five Minutes" by Voiceplay yet? I can't recall. IT's excellent, fun, lively and also pretty darn good! LOL, no, it's fantastic, it really is.

His originals is not that good, otherwise he wouldn't have been singing with Queen.
His originals are excellent and he was doing both, fronting Queen and doing his solo work. It was the best of both worlds for him.
He’s such a talent! I’ll never get over him not winning American Idol all those years ago…
Alright, more Adam Lambert & Queen! Thank you so much for this. You really should watch their performance of Who Wants To Live Forever from Isle Of Wright. Divine.
I second that. It's so bittersweet for two reasons. First, Freddie. Second, they dedicated it to those who died the night before. So fitting!
I concur! It's a breath taking performance.

I do really like the fact that he respects Freddie Mercury's unbelievable talent and doesn't try to copy him but brings his own flavour to Queen songs. He is flamboyant and has incredible range like Freddie though! I don't know if it's true but I read somewhere that when Adam Lambert had become established as the lead singer with the group, Brian May was happy for it to be just 'Queen' but Adam said that wouldn't be right because Queen was Freddie Mercury to him, so he wanted it to always be 'Queen with Adam Lambert'.
More Adam Lambert 😍 Please watch one of the many suggested live performances with Queen of this song, just for your own pleasure. The O2 one is very good. You'll get all the bits that are missing in this one 😊
For future reference:
If you want really good quality live ones for Adam and Queen, go for the ones from their live album "Live around the world", The Isle of Wight festival ones from 2016, the O2 performances from London 2018, The Sydney performance from 2022, The Las Vegas IHeart Radio Music Festival in 2014, The New Years performance from the BBC in 2014 or the New York Citizens Festival in 2019. All of these were televised and/or professionally produced and both sound and pictures are excellent.
I specifically recommend Who wants to live forever from the Isle of Wight. czcams.com/video/9C6DPHosZZg/video.htmlsi=rRb1AVKN8sDwyhOH
But do have a look at his solo stuff as well.

He did this last one on American Idol as well, in the more classic style 😅
Adam is absolutely amazing! What an incredible voice. Get fit for Queen - I'm sure Freddie would approve.
I’d like to have seen you to react Adam and Queen doing this song live, as Adam is their current frontman. The song deserves the full live version with Brian’s guitar and Roger’s drums.
As I mentioned in the intro, I never received any comments about a specific live performance. So when I search for a song in general, the logical thing is to go for the version with the most views and that seems to be a studio version, rather than picking one of multiple live performances that span many years 😅
A few people in the comments have since recommended the O2 version from 2018
@@SirHairless🙏
@@SirHairlessUnfortunately all official live versions with millions of views were removed from CZcams by the Queen management when Queen released Live Around The World album with Adam Lambert.
Yes, the O2 version from the Live Around the World album. He sings it with such passion.
Nightwish AND Adam? Two of my favourites, please continue with any of them :) Ghost love score at Wacken for Nightwish and Who wants to live forever live at Isle of Wight 2016 for Queen + AL. Both absolutely amazing!
Thank you for your reaction. It is unfortunate that nobody recommended a specific performance, which apparently led to your choosing The actual Disney Singalong version. Any live version that you could have chosen with QAL would have provided a better example and allowed you to have a more representative experience, especially if you want to compare him to other people singing TSMGO. The Live Around the World version is top-notch. Although there is a faux video online, Freddie never performed TSMGO live. Unfortunately, he was so gravely ill that he was able to heroically sing it straight through once. After that, studio work was done by the remaining members. It would be great to see you react to QAL “Who Wants to Live Forever”? Isle of Wight 2016. This might be Adam’s most famous performance with QAL and with good reason.

Yes, the faux video is clips of other performances and videos. Thanks for the recommendation of “Who Wants to Live Forever” Isle of Wight 2016
This performance at Isle showcases Adams vocals so well
Thank you for another brill analysis Sir H.
I love Adam Lambert and also Dimash, so after some of you saying that you preferred Dimash’s version, naturally, I was curious and have now heard both versions. I found that actually, I would much rather Adam’s version. His gorgeous rich and strong vocals really suit this song and his more straight forward style for this appeals to me more than the over thought Dimash version. Each to their own I guess! 🌻
Have you listened to Forestella's version of Show must go on?If not, check it out, you might enjoy it!So many awesome artists covering this iconic song and each version brings something different!
@@musiclover-rm6zb
Hi! Thank you for pointing in Forestell’s direction. This is indeed magnificent and WOW! what an opening! Just loved the guitar guy. “The show must go on” was an excellent song choice for the three of them with their bass singer having recently parted to complete the honourable national service. They really pulled it off in a Freddy way didn’t they! Strong, slightly gravelly vocals produced in a felt and entirely meaningful performance. They put all they had into it. What do you think? 🌻
@@user-rn2fu3bf9k I loved everything about their version,the guitar solo opening,their vocal arrangements,Kang Hyung Ho was 🔥, totally in his element with the other two members supporting him beautifully!I suggested it to @SirHairless because I know he is going to be surprised,firstly because they are a trio at the moment and second because he is going to see another side of the countertenor whom I know he appreciates a lot!
I so wish you had reacted to the very first time he sang this Nov 2011 at the European Music Awards. It was unannounced and shocked everyone It was a medley of three songs opening with The Show Must Go On
This is one of my all time favorite songs by one of my all time favorite bands - thank you for still managing to teach me so much about the original and this cover. While I love Adam, I absolutely adore Dimash’s cover.I hope we will get to see a reaction to it soon. 😁 Thank you for your wonderful work! ❤
Check out Adam Lambert “Who Wants to Live Forever” at the Isle of Wight festival
You should actually listen to Adam’s live versions with Queen. The album “”Queen and Adam Lambert live around the world” would give you a true comparison as it is the entire song. This performance was a completely different production than every other of the hundreds of times Adam sang it so I would not call it “Adam’s” version.
Thank you for the reaction. You need to listen to Celine Dion’s version of that song performed live at the Billboard Awards. She did an amazing job.
Sir! You've brought Frédéric Chopin to the table... please, just serve the tea. ♡ A fan
Oh how i miss Freddie 😢 I do like Adam and respect how he covers Queen. But there will never be a Freddie again.
Of course not. There will never be another Adam either. Life goes on.
Voz incrível!!!!
Suas reações são sempre carregadas de muita técnica e respeito 👏
Por favor reage ao Gabriel Henrique feat Coral Black To Black e banda cantando Stand Up postado em junho no seu canal oficial no CZcams.
This is a very toned down version. You should watch his live performance of this song with Queen. He sings on a higher key than Freddie in that version.
so many other performances that are much better than this one but , yes, he is amazing live, I have had the privilege multiple times with and without Queen
Adam Lambert is talented with a beautiful voice. This particular rendition seems more focused upon vocal performance rather the emotional tone of the original. Your analysis increases my understanding of the song - but I prefer the cover of this song by Corvyx.
This is so TAME. Adam can really make this song fly but simplified it for the singalong thing. Try “Who wants to live forever” Isle of Wight. Well worth a listeb
You should listen to the version on the Live Around The World album 🥰
Dan Vasc has a wonderful version of this song, too, that you might really enjoy. 😊
Yeah look as good as this was it's not the one to have reacted to. Him on stage with the boys Live at th O2 is a million times better. This was for a special, it doesn't have the same feel as a fully live concert. PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE watch that I beg you.

DO YOU KNOW ABOUT THE CHINESE SINGING COMPETITION EVERY YEAR?
IT IS CALLED THE SINGER.
THUS YEAR IT WAS DECIDED NO AUTOTUNE OR GIMMICKS SO A LOT OF FAMOUS SINGERS DECIDED NOT TO GO.
WELL, ADAM LAMBERT DID.
WHO WON THE SINGER 2024? ADAM LAMBERT DID.
ON THE LIVE SHOW HE SANG "WHATAYA WANT FROM ME".
THIS MAN'S VOCALS ARE INSANE.
SEE, I AM NOT JUST A PENTAHOLIC ( OK MAINLY)😂
GREETINGS FROM SOUTH AFRICA
Where did you take all that information from? Well, it is not correct. I'm Singer/Singer is a competition with no autotune or pitch correction from the very start of the show. This season is season nine. What's different is that this year for the first time all episodes are broadcast live. Also, beside the 500 on-site audience, a 500-international online audience was introduced.The season premiered on May 10, 2024, and is projected to end on July 26, 2024. Adam Lambert took part in one episode only as a Foreign Guest Challenge Round, which was successful. No information about whether he will further participate.
Adam does an amazing work, however I prefer Dimash’s version. Even at his young age and newness of the English IMO Dimash showed more emotion and performance was smoother.
Thank you for your reaction. I look forward to watching your reaction to Dimash in the future. Queen is a favorite of Dimash.
Dimash sound too operatic to me and i'm not a huge fan of that specific sound. His voice is still amazing tho :)
You should watch Voiceplay's Queen Medley!
I hope this doesn't sound creepy, but I always notice when you play piano that your fingernails and hands are perfectly groomed. You have beautiful skin and eyes. Add that to your musical insights, and I think you are pretty remarkable. Everyone should hear now and then that they are appreciated and we appreciate you.
Yes we do, Sir H, very much so! 🏆🙏
Thank you so much
I am an AdamLambert fan but want to make sure you know that Dimash also sang this on the Singer 😊
Check out please Shaman-mama , very strong song !!! 🙏🏻
❣❣❣❣❣❣❣❣❣❣
Reaziona anche alla versione dimashosa di "show must go on" da the singer. Sono curiosa, perché come per "Hello" D. 'se l'è cucita addosso' (as we say in Italy). Thank for you reaction
Thank you. Adam has a beautiful voice and I fell in love with him when he was American Idol. I loved his interpretations of well known songs. I have loved his work with Queen. I think that I like him best when he does covers. Have you heard Dimash's 'The Show Must Go On'? czcams.com/video/ul3kpE1qcow/video.html
Queen was lucky to get Adam. I can’t imagine anyone else able and brave enough to follow in those giant footsteps that Freddie Mercury left. 😅❤
That being said, I really like Dimash‘s version. Because, well, it’s Dimash. ❤ And it’s also very different from the original. 😊
But when you react to it SH, remember he didn’t speak any English back then. So please imagine him speaking his own version of English. His own cute Dinglish dialect. (You English speakers got so many dialects, that no one understands…so what’s one more 😉)
Just mentioning this, because some reactors get distracted by the pronunciation and don’t pay attention to the incredible vocals. 😔
@@EllaSilentDragon And Dimash´s voice is more powerful and thus can do better justice to Freddy.
@@EllaSilentDragon Thanks Ella. As you've probably noticed, I choose to never comment on the pronunciation☺(I don't think I ever have, at least 😅)
@@SirHairless 👍🏼😊❤️
Pity this version was chosen for a reaction, just a sing a long, Much better to have chosen a live performance from one of their tours, especially the 2018 version at the O2 which is on QAL ‘s Live Around The World album!
As mentioned in the intro, I never received any comments about a specific live performance. So when I search for a song in general, the logical thing is to go for the version with the most views and that seems to be a studio version, rather than picking one of multiple live performances that span many years
Thanks for the recommendation of the 2018 O2 version!
@@SirHairless I think the live video from 2018 was on Queen's channel originally, and had the most views, but was taken down. I've posted the link to the same performance found on another channel above.
Ugh .. the sing-a-long version.. it's still good but literally every other live performance with Queen is so much better!

This was quite interesting for me! Thank you for introducing me to it - it is some years ago that I heard Adam Lambert singing. I LOVE this song and it normally always brings me to tears, and still I can't really stand hearing him singing this song. I must admit that - after all these years - I don't like his voice in Queen songs. It is obviously (always) a question of taste, but for me his voice is somehow narrow, a little bit squeaky, and I don't feel the emotion. George Michael was a fantastic singer and had a beautiful voice that somewhat could "replace" Freddie... I love Dimash's version of the song much more, although he couldn't speak English yet and had to give "all in" in every performance of the show so that it might feel a little bit "too much" - but: I feel the emotion, the energy, and the richness and depth of his voice is insane, given how high and powerful he can sing. But I just love that Dimash always sounds round and full and beautiful, no matter what and where he sings.... 😉😘
Sir Hairless, please react Raphael Mendes the brazilian clone of Bruce Dickinson (Iron Maiden). Rime of The Ancient Mariner . Thanks.
Reaja ao gabriel henrique com 3 músicas novas estamos com saudades de suas reações
Hello! Jimin's new album 'MUSE' will be released on July 19 with its title track 'WHO'. Can you react please? You can also react to his pre-release 'Smeraldo Garden Marching Band' feat LOCO.
Thank you 💜
Hi Sir Hairless this may suggest your next reaction video. Maybe you should do the Dimash version of 'The Show Must Go On' Regards Paul
This is nothing compared to this song live at the O2 in 2018 actually with Queen.
Assuming Dimash’s version coming after this 😅🎉
It is on my list but I don't think I'll be doing it next as there's currently a poll out for the next Dimash reaction
@@SirHairlessmaybe Forestella's version then?🙏 I'll be waiting whenever you decide to react to it!
I would LOVE to see your reaction to Marc Martel singing Queen - Bohemian Rhapsody, Killer Queen, Love of My Life...
Yes sir you must react to Dimash singing this song.
Maybe you should listen to Dimash version. Thank you.
I’m such a fan of Adam, his voice is really awesome. His voice sounds authentic but I do find his theatricality does detract from me feeling truly connected to the lyrics and emotions. Still a beautiful performance.
Adam is obviously an incredibly talented singer but I still prefer Dan Vasc's version of this song. Fewer vocal antics and more pure, powerful singing. Thanks for your very astute analysis of this performance.
I prefer Dimash's version, by far...🩵🇰🇿🩵
Not a fan. There is no depth. No authenticity. Too much "show".
kinda cringe
@@milton1448 not the best version of this song . Check out who wants to live forever it is more subdued
@@autumnpalmer4468 I love the version of Who Wants to Live Forever by the Canadian group The Tenors. I love that version.
Though they wrote a number of songs specifically for Highlander, Queen never actually released a soundtrack. The songs can be found on their 1986 studio album ‘A kind of magic’.
(wiki)
this was a sing-a-long
@@lstapes7 If you watched the intro to this video you'd find your answer. I've heard Adam only once before, and the poll won with 'The Show Must Go On'; not any specific performance. I don't know the standard of live performances so it's natural to go for the version with the most views and the one that seems 'safest' - for example, when you search for a new artist to discover their music, will you go for a live performance or a studio performance that has more views? Maybe you'd go for a live performance which is a bit more risky - but when I'm making a video on it which is an hours-long commitment, I can't afford the time to take such risks.
If I don't receive any requests for specific performances, there's no way I can know to react to them 😅And I won't watch these videos before I make a video on them, because then it's not a reaction.
It's easy to scold people in retrospect, once you're already a fan of the artist and once you already know their performances.
So whilst you may not be able to begin to fathom why I did this version (which I explained in my introduction 😉), it would be better for you to point me towards a specific performance, rather than complain. Because it's really not something worth getting angry about ☺Thank you for mentioning any live performance would have been better - that's quite useful. Although I don't doubt that when I choose one live performance, there will be comments saying "you should have chosen this other one!" (it happens every time )
You also say "it would given a more accurate idea of Adam’s performance of this song". This performance I reacted to is still a performance of the song, done by Adam Lambert. It's just a different one to the various live versions out there.
Nope, not for me.
Adam Lambert can sing, but he does not sing Queen very well. He is not a rock singer, h e is pop singers. Queen needs a rock singer.
I'm guessing you've not seen him with Queen?
Adam Lambert’s been the Queen’s frontman for over 10 years because he’s one of the greatest vocalists of our times.
