I stopped watching this show when Adam didn’t win. I’ve never watched it again. Adam has the most amazing voice of anyone who has ever been on any talent show! There’s really nothing he couldn’t sing. He was obviously born to entertain with his looks, talent and charismatic personality. Performing with Queen these days and as a guest on many televised specials I think he is having the time of his life! If you haven’t heard him sing “I Believe in Love” on a special tribute to Cher you have truly missed one of the most outstanding performances I’ve ever seen. The control he has of his amazing voice is perfection. He puts so much feeling into the song and he got a standing ovation from Cher, (she was crying) and the audience of famous celebrities.
I loved his version of that song, a song by an iconic singer covered by other iconic singer.
Yeah, after he lost we stopped watching too
💯 agreed. Same
Same
Who the heck won??!!
I am a 76 year old gramma and have worshipped you since your first song on American Idol. You have the best voice on the planet, you are absolutely drop-dead handsome, you are sweet and kind, and your voice brings tears to my eyes. I am a forever fan and I adore you with all my heart. Thank you for what you bring to us. Thanks to your parents for raising such a magnificent human being.

He's got one of the best voices I've ever heard I could listen to him all night he's just fantastic he could do with some good original songs written by him or for him,
Led Zeppelin is one of my favourite bands and he nailed that hole lot of loving song, he did it justice, I know this was televised a few years ago but it's the first time I've listened to him singing but I want to buy his album and I wonder what he's doing these days.
I’ll never know how Adam didn’t win this show. He’s the best talent to ever come through their door and a generational type talent.
He should've won for sure but it was 2009 & the American public wasn't ready to vote for a gay contestant after he was outed by the lowbrow media like TMZ. Thankfully he did go on to a stellar career while the guy who "beat" him is barely remembered.
@@msplacebo-246 I tried for hours that night trying to vote for Adam. Never did get through. Definitely rigged against him. These days he would have won because he was gay. If he couldn't sing a note. I still follow him to this day. Never watched Idol again.
@@msplacebo-246 The 'winner' that year was some guy named Kris Allen who only sold 75,000 cds. Having worked for the record company that put out the music for American Idol, we all knew that Adam was a 1000% better. Good thing he didn't win, he went on to become super famous and well deserved too.
Because he was not mainstream enough. Not only did he dress flamboyant, but he is gay. Small town America then.even worse now. Despite that slam, Adam Lambert rules now!
i hate to say this but what i heard it had to do with his sexual preference when he came out on the show the show tried to tell him not to say anything which i think is bull you should be valued by talent he was cheated of the win i still try to see were hes playing his oice is to die for
Adam has not just talent but a true gift to how he performs. Obviously nobody will ever replace Freddie Mercury but nobody will ever replace Adam Lambert either. Two insane talented people who have become intertwined in the best of ways.
Well said. I also come back and again to this vid for it. It's just a-ma-zing ! This time around, I particularly enjoyed Adam 'playing That Funky Music' (song I didn't know b4 , BTW ...)
Yes he should have won
Can you just imagine being in the audience when he was singing!!! Pure brilliance!
He is beyond amazing ...& actualy not winning Idol was to his advantage ,he didnt have to beholding to idol ,contracts & their tour...just line Jennifer Hudson , ( though he outshines everyone ) ..he has it all the gift of this voice , & his looks , charisma,sex appeal he is magnetic he is one of THE GREATS..❤
@Christine Crader He was still under contract with American Idol. Second place just as much as first place.
Adam was outstanding the first audition. Ironically he sang Bohemian Rhapsody. It was his fate to sing with them. Every rock star was watching him. He set that stage on fire with every performance. No other Idol contestant will ever touch his remarkable talent. Thank you for posting this. Great memories
Ya, ironic isn't it. That came full circle for him
I’m sure Freddie would have been happy with the choice.
" Every rock star was watching him" u dont understand how it is to be one...we dont care..they dont care its tv,money and audience
It’s probably a good thing that he did not win AI. Because he would have been a puppet on a string with their contract. I think he was meant to come in second place so he could totally be & enjoy himself & make his own decisions! He is the best contestant to ever be on AI!!!!!! ❤
No doubt Adam was the greater singer. His problem was that he came off as if he knew he had it in the bag, and it turned America off.
Adam brought uniqueness to the show. He was not just a singer. He was a showman like AI has never seen, no talent show has ever seen. It was genuine, not staged, or forced. He brought his heart and soul every night.
YES!!!
100%
My favourite word to describe Adam is fabulous! And he is truly totally fabulous!! Adam, Love from Tina xx
Ya man, Adam was bigger than the show. He broke the mold. Simon couldn't compute the genius of the performer standing in front of him.
@@lawpenner Great comment! You are exactly right!
It's 14 years later, and I STILL get chills!
Same here
ME TOO! I WAS OBSESSED TO WATCH HIM! Would wait and be SO excited just to see what he would do every week!!
It was 2010?? I didn't think it was 2020. I am so excited to come across this n so glad they made it all in one, for ALL HIS PERFORMANCES ON IDOL!!! QUEEN HE DEFINITELY RIPS IT UP💜💜🤗🤗 LOVE TO ADAM LAMBERT!!!
I remember watching him on American idol. We were stunned that he didn't win. He is amazing.
They have to had their highest ratings because of him. America couldn't wait to see what he was going to do next. I was stunned too. Heartsick.
Unfortunately, he didn't win because he is gay. He wanted to keep it private, but TMZ outed him
What we know about voting today says it all. He won, but other forces decided otherwise.
Yup. It was his own concert every time he performed. And when he performed with Queen, they knew(Queen I mean ), that they found their next front man!!!
say no more
I absolutely love him!!! ❤️❤️❤️❤️
Thanks to Bryan Mai to use this great singer. Terje
Loved Adam's voice from the get-go, and still do. So happy for his sucess!
Adam was robbed from winning
Every time I think he did NOT win I laugh.. he is by far, and away, THE most talented performer to EVER, EVER set foot on the AI stage! He owned that stage, every single performance of his was so other level, it wasn’t even fair to the other contestants.
It just proves that the contestants who come 2nd have a better career, his voice is phenomenal better by far, and he had the humbleness to help the other contestants who performed with him, to bring the best out of them too.
He fully deserves to sing with queen, Freddy would be so proud as are the rest of Queen 👸 😃💖
Not winning is usually the better deal, in all of these shows.
He is the real WINNER at the end of the day. Let’s move on because Adam has moved on a long time ago.
@@silvertrees6326 Without a doubt the best performer to hit the Idol stage! Pure excellence!
@@lisabowden3433 Freddy would most certainly be so proud! A talent that should have crushed Chris Allen. People sometimes do not see what they actually have in front of them. My all time favorite performer in any talent show around. Long live Adam!
Still watching this phenomenal entertainer in 2022....true grit, and he just keeps getting better with time. No one on earth can match his vocal range and power. How lucky Brian and Roger are to have him as their front man...rock on Adam.💗😀
❤❤❤❤❤😂
Yup. Still a fan in 2023. I've been following Adam since his days as AI and am still a huge fan. I've been fortunate enough to have seen him solo as well as with Queen.
@@lizklosowski6487 how lucky are you. His AI days blew me away, he is a real powerhouse, can tackle all genres with such ease and was unfairly treated but, in saying that, it has worked to his advantage.
It's difficult to explain...he is simply hypnotising.
The whole combination of his voice, charisma, moves, sensuality, eyes, smile, nose... and if all that isn't enough...he is nice, funny, eloquent, intelligent.
Yes...and more💕
That's because he is GOOD AT WHAT HE DOES. He's not a "wanna-be". He's awesome! I hope he stays grounded. That looks so good on him!!!
Ring of Fire was definitely hypnotizing for me. I watched that on repeat so many times. Epic
CAN'T AGREE MORE !!
I'm a straight guy and he has that affect on me too
His vocal control is astounding. His upper register is placed so appropriately that it flows effortlessly. His mind is able to "hear" unique musical notes in a way few do. He is remarkable. And his looks and intense sexuality is frosting on a fabulous cake.
Yes, yes and yes
This guy is truly a step above all the rest
Love that frosting... 😏
💯💯💯
I almost cried with Mad world. What a powerful, haunting and evocative performance.
Unfortunately for Adam Lambert fans, he pretty much copied the Gary Jules' version almost exactly. Not a good look for Adam. It was his only stumble.
It’s that broadway background!
@@raywhatley5106 respectfully disagree. The way Adam puts his emotion into every song sets him apart from other singers. I've had the pleasure of hearing Adam live in concert, and he's the greatest male singer around.
@@gracemcgrath1520 well he wasn't on Broadway, but if you mean his theater background, yes.
Hot damn. That was 30 minutes well spent. Still as fabulous to watch and listen to as it was all those years ago.
And I don't care if he bats for the other team, or if I'm old enough to be his mum, he's still one sexy B.
It is,those of us who enjoy. He is great. We tell it as it is. ❤❤❤
Adam, Adam, Adam. No one else can compare!! He's an extremely talented singer, a phenomenal showman, and an outstanding entertainer!!
It does'nt matter what AGT voted, Adam won everyone's hearts around the world!! 💕 💕 💕
My hubby wasn't keen on American Idol until Adam entered the competition. Each of his performance was so unique and mesmerizing! We're totally shocked when he didn't win but thought it didn't matter coz his voice was appreicated outside USA as well; we're watching live from Hong Kong that season and everyone around us was rooting for him.
AMERICAN IDOL, not America's got talent!
Adam was the best of all Idol contestants and belongs with Queen now. I think Freddie would approve.
Kelly Clarkson too. They were the best. Clay was great too
@@woodynorris8224 she's the worst....like I would be thrilled if I never heard her again
For me the best Idols were Adam Lambert and David Cook ..... their original rendition of the songs they sang were total transformation from the orignal.
I think he's horrible. Takes classic songs and destroys them
@Brian Nicholas, he takes classic songs, innovates, and makes them better and more exciting. That is called creativity.
His version of Ring of Fire. WOW. Genious.
I loved his Born To Be Wild. Steppenwolf was one of my favorite groups - until they started getting rid of members. Adam is so versatile.
I agree!!!!!
Agree that won me over.
If Adam Lambert is not the best singer and performer on the planet, I don't know who is. He rocks! ❤
He will rock forever!!!!!!!🎉❤❤
He is brilliant no doubt but best on the planet 🤷♂️ 🤔 that is a bit far fetched.
The charisma and voice of Elvis and Freddie blended together. What a combination. Words can not explain how magnificent Adam Lambert is.
Freddy is proud 👏 🥲 🥰 ✌ this vocalist..front man does my darling Freddy Mercury justice....only adam could...# genius
What a beautiful...and exact...description of Adam! What talent, what a voice, what stage presence! He REALLY should have won!
@@IamSweetViolet I always thought so, too!
@@IamSweetViolet Same!
ja, so sehe ich es auch. Ich bin über 70 und er fasziniert und rührt mich zu Tränen. Es ist, als ob etwas aus ihm herausströmt, dessen er sich vielleicht nicht einmal bewußt ist. Ein Synthese aller Musikrichtungen und Performences. Ich weiß nicht, wie ich es ausdrücken kann. Man könnte ihn auch in die Mailänder Oper stellen und er würde es meistern.
Definitely the best Male rock singer American Idol has ever had !!
This ladies and gentlemen is your all time AMERICAN IDOL!! Hands down he would beat out every idol before and after his time on the show. And damn just look at him!! The most beautiful man to be born since Elvis!! Yes I know he’s gay but I’m a forever young 65 year old woman who still doesn’t need glasses.
I'm 73 and I totally agree with you. He is so good to look at, and I could listen to him sing forever.
Well said! I’m a heterosexual 50 year old male and I completely agree with you!
Same here! 65 and loving Adam since he hit the AI stage in 2009! How could anyone not love him? It is beyond me!
Best comment I've read here!
Hello!
Have no idea when you wrote this!……but,I agree 100%..".
I’m 62! And still a rocker….he is gorgeous…
Have a recent pic id luv to send you,but can’t…here.
More f…ing handsome!!
Wow! Just wow! Never fall out of love with his singing. His version of Mad World is phenomenal!
I like how he takes a song and makes it his own instead of attempting to duplicate the original vocal.
You listen to this man sing and your jaw just constantly drops in amazement. He’s otherworldly.
And, unbelievably, he sounds even better in person..
He sang every song great but Tears of a Clown just blew me away.
He's so diverse, edgy and amazing.... Such an asset to Queen.... Freddie Mercury would be proud...
Tears of a Clown is just perfect. I've never heard someone sing a song live that was that good. So pure, a kind of perfect pitch that only the best of the best could hope to achieve in their dreams. Tons of emotion and control. It's honestly masterful.
Tracks of my tears
Adams strategy on this show was flawless. He knew when to pull back and strip it down, and when to go big or go home. He made sure to show that he could sing every genre, and made everything his own. He knew that was how you grab people’s attention. He set the bar impossibly high. Unmatched, once in a lifetime kind of talent.
Adam Lambert is the Best!!! Adam Lambert is simply unbeatable. He has an incredible voice, can sing ANY musical style and has a lot of stage presence! He is a brilliant showman! Adam was born to be a superstar and in fact, that's what he became!!!!
Is there nothing this man Can’t Sing Brilliant Adam
Maybe but it would be way out of his personality range I was disappointed he didn’t win but knew he would be successful anyway.
Not only the BEST voice I've EVER heard, but his vocal control is unbelievable!
I wonder how Simon feels now?
I've been a crazy Adam fan since 2012. I was just obsessed with him, literally. It's been 10 years and I'm still obsessed with him. He took my heart forever. He's the king, it's true. He was born a star
Sometimes when you lose, you win. Adam didn't win AI, but he won something bigger and everlasting.
@Adam Lambert You are so amazing in your role as lead singer with Queen, those were some mighty big shoes to try to fill but I've watched some of those concerts performing with Queen and you do an unbelievable job singing every single song, not like you were singing karaoke either, but somehow you stayed faithful to Freddie's interpretation of each song and yet still added just the right amount of yourself into it in the perfect way, and I mean that, perfect. I think Freddie would be eternally grateful to you for taking the job, and doing it just right, as yourself, not trying to exactly copy him but using your abilities to give tribute to him and Queen in a beautiful way and allowing his beloved band members to tour once again, to hear the crowds cheer as in their youth, and for them to see proof that their music will endure long after they're all gone.
(and ...I have to say this...you managed to do all that being maybe the hottest singer ever to tour anywhere, on top of being one the man with THE MOST wide ranging vocals, and with the most ability to hold a note for an eternity....you are blessed my man.
@@KathyHussey063 This is not the real Adam hahaha
@Adam Lambert HAHAHAHAHAAHAHAHA
@@DavidBerto lol I know I figured that out after I'd written the comment, (a few days before you told me here) so I started to take my comment down, but then I thought, "Naww, I'll leave it, the real guy might see it sometime & I meant it"... so, I left it.
(I'll NEVER UNDERSTAND why anyone'd want to have someone else's name on their own accounts, but even more curious to me, why would you use some form of a famous person's name, a person you are a fan of ?
I see a lot of younger people doing that on Twitter etc. If I was a famous person & I saw any iteration of my name or stage name as someone else's online i.d. that would weird me out, massively. I sure as hell would never type a comment to them, no way would I ever do that from my REAL ACCOUNT, now would I?
No, because just having my name on their account would tell me enough because they're not respecting my boundaries, my ownership of my own name, one that I'd probably worked hard to get to whatever level of fame my name had. If I was famous and saw that, I'd think that person is far too likely to be a 'stalker wanna be', if they don't understand how uncomfortably creepy it is for them to want others to think they're ME? People should rethink why they do this, if they really are that famous person's fan, and not just trying to mess with people's heads.
but hey....to each his own.....
@Adam Lambert Is this really, you??????? My family, 5 of us @ the time loved you so much! I am about to introduce my great grands to you later today then it will be 7 the youngest ones are 4 and 6. (I am 67)
American Idols never saw a huge talent like Adam Lambert before and never will
I rarely watched _American Idol,_ and as a result have not heard Adam sing until tonight. I sat for 30 minutes absolutely entranced. So rarely do you see a performer with as much x-factor as Lambert. Adam absolutely knows what he's doing every single second and it is glorious to watch. It doesn't matter one iota that he didn't win _American Idol_ because of a bunch of narrow-minded people, you can't hold fire like that down.
If I didn't see it for myself, I don't think I would have believed it.
I'm just now seeing this in April 2023. Adam is so versatile and does an amazing job on any type of song. I'm glad I happened yo hear it today.
Most talented in the history of American Idol..I say this myself also a...professional music artist. Adam is extraordinary. No wonder Brain May snagged him as the new front man for Queen! Love you Adam!💜🎶💜
The best they've ever had!! Stopped watching after he was robbed of the title, but it turned out to be a blessing in disguise for him. Now, he sings with Queen! Absolutely the best singer in the world today in my opinion!
Similar thing happened in 2012 season. They had an amazing singer who was robbed to someone mediocre.
it always turns out better for them NOT to win Idol as the resulting contract is absolutely restrictive and horrendous. He became free to other offers and well, now he's fronting Queen. Can't get better than that. What's the winner doing nowadays.
Same here, just don't really watch anymore after Lambert lost. Absolutely love finding these videos and watching his performances.
paula constantly up at her feet with the biggest grin during all of his performances is the cutest thing ever
You are right
She was the first Glambert!!
She knew what was in front of her, right from his audition!
I know Adam Lambert was the best American Idol performer ever!
The excitement that year surpasses all of any music talent show.
He should have won!
He should have, but I am SO glad he didn't. If he had, Idol would have owned him for 7 years, before he'd have been able to go out on his own and do what he wanted. The guy who beat him? Where is HE right now? Does anyone even remember his name? If he'd gotten stuck with Idol, he may not be out there fronting Roger and Brian, keeping them young doing what they love...he can't possibly fill Freddie's shoes, but the magic and chemistry are there, and he sure is getting a young audience loving those 50+ year old songs! There's no one else alive who could do what he's doing right now!
Adam Lambert not winning in the finale has got to be possibly the biggest upset in Idol history
@@lawpenner At the time I felt the same! The other guy was ok, but he was no superstar. I mean where is he now? But's best for Adam (and the rest of us) that he didn't win! Brian May said that during that one performance on Idol, they instantly recognized that they had a chemistry with Adam that they hadn't had since Freddie.
@@midnightrose2127 that "chemistry" was probably Adam's insane vocal abandon, and showmanship
@@midnightrose2127Lets not forget another epic performance between Adam and fellow rocker Allison Iraheta in Slow Ride czcams.com/video/WP4mZ6-oZYY/video.html
Forgot his performances was for a talent show. Thought I was watching an Adam Lambert concert! This man is phenomenal!
Adam is such a heartbreaker to this very day. Love him love love him.
Love ❤️ all his performance
Adam is such a class act. He is beyond talented. He can sing anything. Wow!!!!!
What an incredible talent , I can’t even begin to believe he didn’t win that season . His range , his voice ,his personality , his diversity, the list goes on . I defy anyone to not fall in love with this entertainer ❤His sexuality alone makes him a star 😅
He is AMAZING
@@margoburns7139
I know I was in love with him, eagerly awaiting for his appearance every week.
He was so humble during his first audition. It said so much about his character.
He was byyyyyyyyy far the winner and one of the most famous american idols I've never seen anyone like him in any competition show and dont think we ever will
OMG!!! His rendition of Mad World just knocked me out! He is a winner!
mary nobles that showed his true range.
Adam actually did two different performances of Mad World. His more theatrical performance in the finals is not featured in this video - It was a great, more dramatic performance. Love them both - the vulnerable and the dramatic.
Should be get you some smelling salts ...
OMG Yes! Would love to open my eyes to see him!!!!!
I'm watching for the first time. Blowing my mind this guy.
Adam Lambert is wildly successful in his own right, even today. He's currently the lead singer for one of the most successful and iconic bands of all time. No other "idol" (Kelly or Carrie included) can say that, now can they? He's exactly where everyone knew he'd eventually end up. And he deserves every bit of the accolades he still gets to this day. He's an exceptional talent and by far the most talented contestant (by any and every measure) that ANY reality show has ever seen, or will ever see again. Sorry, but it's just the truth.
Agree. When most people think of Idol, they all remember the name Adam Lambert.
Truth.
he doesn’t come close to Freddie….
@@chloerodgers692 the comment said nothing about that lmao
I don't know about the best but he's truly one of kind.
What a great job Adam has done for Queen. It cant be easy singing all the Queen songs written for someone else. Adam does it well.
It couldn't have been anyone else. Adam is perfect.
Did you watch the video where he sings Cher's song to her....live on stage? THAT is confidence!!!
Besides some of the first few seasons where I didn’t care who won and watched randomly I watched this season when I discovered Adam. He was robbed in the finale. His voice gives me chills.
I understand why you feel like that, but the reality of it is....it's better for him to not win. AI controls the winner's immediate future. Coming in second, Adam controls his own future, which I'm sure will be fantastic!
Adam Lambert is the whole package every time he takes the stage for a performance! Every hairstyle, shoes, outfit, etc. matches perfectly with the song that he sings!! That puts him in the Elite Class of Performers in the World!! He is the best American Idol ever!
Yeah! His stage performance is singular. He can sing anything, he is a highly motivated performer. When I see him I am astounded he is a picture perfect. Music, charmer, awesome singer, commands the stage every second that he is up there. And his awesome looks makes it particularly enjoyable.
I stopped watching the show when he did not win and have never watched again. He is truly the most talented ever on that show. He was a star the minute he began. Thanks for posting this!
Totally agree!! Haven't watched it since he lost!
He was robbed of the title of American Idol. I am gratified to see he has become famous in his own right. I never get tired of listening to him. He has an amazing voice, amazing stage performance. He's charming, and just an all round pleasure to watch perform. He has me hooked, line and sinker. .
ADAM LAMBERT + QUEEN
I am a cancer patient and I watch this video everyday because even though the voters got it wrong it always tells me theres a better day coming. Adam got his better day with Queen and it’s so inspiring to fight on.
I love how Paula is always standing and rocking out whenever adam is on stage! She was definitely a super fan! Same, Paula…Same.
Life gives some guys a lot, talent and beauty. This boy is an excellent performer, as well as a fantastic handsome boy.
I thought Elvis was the best I was wrong. ADAMS is the best of the best in 🙏
The charisma and voice combined of Elvis Presley and Freddie Mercury. A new star just born.
Adam is the best I have seen and he should have won. No one was better
Every one is masterly done but Mad World was so beautiful I had to listen 3 times.
I had to listen to all of them many times 🤣.
Me too
Mad world was simply my favourite performance
His performance of Mad World is my favorite too.
I find my self shedding tears everytime I listen to this glorious man the emotion he puts into everything he sings
Omg me too huhu
I knew about Adam Lambert, but I never watched American Idol or any other reallity. I glad to decide to watch this... His voice is awesome!!
Same here. I think he's my favorite singer now!
Plus I love that he's performing with Queen❣
Same
Adam Lambert is AMAZING. No doubt
Adam is beyond perfect with queen BUT him performing smokey was mind blowing!!! I haven't ever heard anyone come close to sounding like smokey and Adam killed it!!!
I'd love to hear him sing something from the mad lads
I saw him on stage with Queen... He's brilliant. The chemistry between Brian and Adam is incredible.
I don’t watch American Idol, but if Adam Lambert did not win … that show is not legit. I cannot think of anyone with his incredible vocals control and spirit and enthusiasm and the way he reaches his audience moving it to tears of joy! Bastards!
Actually, while I agree he definitely was worthy of the win, it's better for his career that he didn't win. Now he can do what he wants without AI controlling his career. LOVE listening to him sing!!!!
Adam was, hands down, the best entertainer AI ever had. He is one in a million. I was very happy when he became part of Queen, he belongs with a great band! Next to Kelly C., his star shines the brightest!
Adam Lambert is a phenom.......
i think Haley Reinhart was bloody good too. she's exceptional now
I'd rather be entertained than crooned to, any day of the week. And Lambert smashes at being entertaining.
Rd to 4@@cjayj442 exit
I agree and I liked Chris Daughtry too.
American idol has had A LOT of talented people throughout the years BUT (in my opinion) no one shined like Adam did.
Every song he sang, had his own unique twist to it. Every performance was super entertaining because you could tell that he loves being on stage and giving his heart to music.
Plus, his personality is like a ray of sunshine and his smile can light up the space.
After his season, I lost interest in AI because no one could top him, in my eyes.
He deserves the best in his career and personal life! 💕
Agree 100%
Agree. He should have won. He did everything the judges asked and yet he lost to what’s his name. To this day I think it was because he is gay. So sad in this politically correct world. But he has a career and I don’t remember who won. Kris something I think.
Rita Kountz if he had won, he would have been under American Idol contract, meaning his creative control over his music will be in their hands so I guess it's a good thing he didn't.
Now he has a wonderful career and a huge following. :)
@@mmariankaa I believe he didn't try to sabotage getting that title, but I'll bet he was actually happy he didn't. He went so far, so fast, that he didn't miss anything. I heard it was a voting ploy on phones for Chris that beat him out. He laughed all the way to the bank... 😜🤑❣️💋
June Hutchinson no matter how or why it happened - good thing it DID happen.
Let's admit it- he was the star of his season from the very first audition. Now he's rockin' out with the band of his audition song. Crazy karma 🤘🏻
He is one of the best voices I have ever heard. It makes me want to cry every time I hear him sing because of the raw talent that man was born with!
He definitely was born with some talent but he trained for close to 20 years to know how to do what he does that sets him apart from other vocalists!!!
His version of Cher's Believe is off the scale beautiful. Makes me cry every time.
Looooove him He was so different
Afraid to say I’m only just discovering this incredible talent, the rock I’ve been under must have been a flipping mountain…. Wow, just wow, never heard talent like this… ever
God, I love him, his voice is perfectly angelic harmonically .
He was definitely in a league of his own. Before it's said and done, he may be more famous than Carrie or Kelly. He is the lead singer of Queen. It doesn't get much better than that. He is a born performer, completely relaxed on stage. And THAT VOICE... His vocal range is unbelievable!
Of Queen? Well I've only heard of one band called Queen and that was Freddy Mercury. I think it's safe to say Carrie Underwood is more well known.
@@2CigarettesLeft8457 Adam is actually the lead singer of QUeen since Freddie unfortunately is not with us anymore.
@@gilbirdsareawesome oh thanks I didnt know that.
Just giving my opinion here, singing with Queen is iconic and all but doesn't really mean that he as a solo artist is bigger, you know what I mean? I feel like Kelly's music has made a bigger impact in the pop culture, but idk, I'm not from the states, maybe the international perspective makes me perceive it differently.
To be precise, Adam Lambert is not the lead singer of Queen. He is not a member of the band Queen, he is a guest of Queen when he performs with them and is always billboarded as Queen with Adam Lambert. Out of respect for Freddie, Queen will never replace Freddie with anyone else and therefore never have another lead singer in their band.
He has superb voice control, a very keen ear for tone, magnificent range, and knows when to push and when to hold back for effect. He made all songs his own with his interpretation, was never stuck in a rut, highly unpredictable with what his next notes were going to be. He breathed new life to some intolerable songs and made them very easy on the ear, and knew how to work an audience with an energy that can only be innate. A born performer, he will always be the best contestant AI would have ever known or witnessed.
Mad World version was my favorite. His vocals are just amazing!
We all know that Adam was the winner!
WOW, each performance was like a concert! His voice is freaking amazing, his stage presence is magnetic, and he’s an absolute showman! How did he not win AI??
I tried and tried to call to vote for him for hours and all I got was a busy signal--always felt it was rigged.
@@angiechavez1163 That happened to me too on more than one occasion! 😱🤬
...homophobia is the only reason he didn't win. He's one the most amazing singers I have ever heard, and he is a SUPERSTAR!!! in my opinion! I love him to pieces!!! :-)
Yeah I felt like Adam had the total package. He was so captivating. I thought for sure he was gonna win but he's made quite a career for himself nonetheless!
I totally agree, he had the voice, the look but I guess he wasn't what they had in mind.
one of the best, most powerful, and soulful voices in the world.
I’ve been totally in love with Adam and his performances since the first time I saw him! He outshines almost every other performer from every other season!
What a set of pipes this kid has. He is amazing!
@Adam Lambert God knows, you deserve it. You
are SPECTACULAR!
5octave range
Adam was and is the best contestant ever. His command of the stage and his beyond singing talent sets him above all else. He's simply the brightest star in the galaxy.
He is one of a kind, a flawless prince!
there is nobody that ever lived or will live that can out sing adam.. he truly is a gift from god
Adam was awesome on American Idol, I picked him at the beginning of the idol season and voted for him all the way to the end. He was so good and I wanted him to win it. He was better than all the others that season. I was so happy when I heard that Queen picked him to be in the band with them. I've watched several Queen + Adam Lambert concert video's. Adam fits right in with them and he's amazing.
HE IS SO F**KING GOOD !!! I am such a fan of Adam ... you didn't win AI but you won in the long run dude !!!
It is better that they don't win because then they have more freedom on what they sing.
His singing is so effortless. He is the perfect lead singer for Queen. RIP Freddie.
A genius talent and a chameleon all rolled into one. So glad he made it BIG. He deserves it.
He is the EPITOME of SHOWMANSHIP !!!!!!!
Adam took American Idol to a whole new level, watched his entire performance coz of the COVID-19 lockdown. Absolutely loved it.
Wow!!!
i STILL WATCH HIM ALL THE TIME, NOW WITH QUEEN
once adam auditioned, it was over
Wow. Still the most impressive!
Adam puts passion into to every song he sings! That makes him a super star.
Yes...he puts his heart and soul into these performances!!! He reminds me of Elvis so much!!
He was good back then, but now he’s fabulous. He’s come to his voice even more.
Adam is the bomb. And he sung mad world perfectly . He should have won American idol. But that's ok he still won the world. We love him😀😀😀👍
I feel like he should have won as well but second place gave him WAY more options in the end. I mean while no one can replace Freddie Mercury he makes a DAMN good second!
Simon almost didn't put him through, but the best thing that could have happened to him was coming in second. Had he won he would have been a slave to American Idol's rules and contracts, and toured in places he may have had lost opportunities. Truly he ended up in a much better position than first place.
@Adam Lambert We do not know if a person is pretending to be the magnificent Adam here; if you are trying to fool us, then karma will have it's way. If you are a genuine soul then karma works too, in the form of continued success, never-ending happiness, and earning more fans with every passing day. REAL fans like myself are forever - 68 years young and very grateful to be living in Adam's time on earth. Queen has received such an exceptional treasure with Adam Lambert!
I love his "Mad World." I wonder if Tears For Fears ever had a comment about his rendition.
@@lilRadRidinHood Well, he only has 12 subscribers and no videos, so....
I never realized how classy this guy was from the start to the end.
Front man for Queen. Adam never needed to compete.
You very seldom hear a voice a gorgeous as Adam's! He has it all, tone, range, beautiful looks, personality and so much more.. He was the reason we watched Idol that year and we still cannot believe that he didn't win but looking back it didn't matter.. He is Queen's front man and that takes real talent!!!!
Damn.. this man can sing!! Years later.. he is amazing!!
Woooooooooooooooooowwwwww.. he is simply incredible !!!!!!!! What a talent 🥰🥰🥰🥰
I agree 100% He was the best performer to ever grace that stage. There are no close seconds. BTW, great work on that video!
He’s always been my favorite Idol!
Adam is just getting started. Even with the current history of his amazing performances, he hasn't even begun to show the world what he is capable of. I am grateful to be around to watch him rise to each new level that separates him from the billions of others out there! Thank you for the daily inspirations Adam!!!!
Adam has several albums out and has been touring with Queen for 8 years!
Thanks
Adam Lambert is the most talented performer I have ever witnessed!
Then you haven't witnessed many.
Felix Brinklow So much jealousy over Adam Lambert. I get it.
It's not jealousy I'm feeling. Adam Lambert is a very good singer but I get the feeling he is just a very good karaoke Singer. He's missing the personality that goes with being an entertainer. Where is his originality?
@@Liebesrecht1 are you dumb? Only Ring of Fire alone tells you're full of bs.
He knocked it out of the park ever6 single night. After he lost I never watched American Idol again. I’m glad he’s with Queen now he’s filled Freddie’s shoes and without a doubt Freddie’s watching him.
Best performer to hit the American Idol stage as far as I'm concerned. Was always excited to see what he would sing next.
Adam is the best hands down
