He.was always leaning towards Adam most of the time........I got goosebumps the minute Adam began to sing...... that timbre in his voice.....stay blessed Adam
If that co-performance didn't make it blatantly obvious who the better singer was then you need hearing aids. Queen chose the right new frontman. Congratulations, Adam!
Being his respectful and humble self, Adam held back his vocals to accommodate Kris'. He could have murdered Kris vocally if he wanted to. Adam's subsequent first time fronting Queen in Belfast EMAs brought the roof down!
That's also quite professional as well, there are other performances where he sings with a contestant and he holds back because it's not his moment. It's really really great. Adam is a class vocalist and person.
At 2:05 you can see the expression of Brian May's face, I think it was at this moment that he probably thought...damn this kid's got it, we gotta get him!!!
He addresses this on the Show Must Go On. He said he was trying so hard not to favour Adam on that stage. But you can see it in his face...he fell in love with his voice!!
+Whistletone it's funny because Adam because the judge of the x factor the next generation but when was the last time u heard Kris Allen talked about lol
One was a pub singer that won the show and disappeared, and the other blew away Queen, so much so they chose him as their new front man to step into the huge shoes of Freddie! Mad that Adam didn’t win that show, he was clearly an outstanding vocalist and front man, but justice was ultimately done
And now, 13 years later, watching him espectacularly sing this very song as Front-Man of the one and only Queen, for the very QUEEN is just wonderful!!! Full circle, some might say. Bravo Adam!!! 👏👏👏
@@doloresweatherspoon2727 That was an awesome concert! Fire Fight Australia, where they did the same Live Aid set list. They were incredible and the crowd was HUGE!!!👑🤗
You could see it way back then that Queen enjoyed Adam's performance. His voice is amazing. Brian knew what he was doing from the start. Nobody can ever replace Freddy but I'm pleased with their choice to have Adam join them as their lead singer.
This is the performance that shook everyone, making it as clear as a crystal on who is the winner. Adam owned the song. Definitely one of the most memorable performances in American Idol. But to see Adam with Queen now touring with Queen is like seeing the true champion of that season. So proud for our Glam King
Adam was forced down everyones throat, he was the judges favourite and it was so clear. Like this song, it was picked to show off Adam. The people like the underdog and voted for Kris. But obviously Adam should have won, hes a superstar.
When these two voices met, it was clear right from the start how much better Adam is. When he started singing, that's when Kris gave up and what he did next was just the obligatory growing up of the song. Adam is the winner! It's amazing to watch now that he's been touring with Queen for over 10 years, how Brian looked when he sang. Love! ❤
I mean look at Brian when Adam comes to him and sings at 02:00. There is a chemistry and respect hapenning at the very same time. I saw Queen + Adam Lambert live this year and IT WAS AMAZING
They were good friends though. Chris said on the stage that Adam should have won. No ill feelings for him. He seems like a good guy. Homophobic voters were to blame
weren't they room mates during the show though? so friends? I'd guess homophobic voters had to do with it - maybe also that people didn't vote because they thought it was already decided. doesn't really matter in the end though does it?
Can you imagine what this day must have been like for him? Months before he was going nowhere with his singing career, then he had the stressful Idol competition, effectively a crash course of the music industry, suddenly he's a household name and it all culminated in this night, moments away from finding out who won and in the middle of it all practically auditioning to be the front man of Queen. Maybe he didn't know that that's what he was doing but Brian and Roger said later that they only went on the show to meet Adam and see what he could do. What a defining night in Adam's life this was. It's incredible to be able to look back at it like this.
+DontSigh Thats why hes so inspiring to many people including me. You just have to be yourself, work hard and have natural talent to get to that one thing. His success story is beautiful :)
I always said freddie couldn't be replaced but Adam makes a pretty good stand in for him. I'm too young to have seen the original line up live but would love to see this line up live .
Wow...who would have thought that 5 years after this finale, Adam would be the frontman for Queen. Awesome...congratulations Adam Lambert. You DID win.
Courtney Green yes! Not many people catch that and also when he sings 'I ain't gonna lose' and 'CHAaampions' near the full end... There are so many things he did here that nobody has done before, diamond balls for sure... 😂
From Adam's first note, you can hear his incredible talent. There is absolutely no comparison between the two. Seriously, Idol got it wrong, and the show has never recovered from such a blunder. Adam has proven he is larger than life ❤
I didn’t watch that season, but it’s honestly shocking that he lost. He has a way better voice than that other guy, he didn’t seem like he belonged at all
This is the most EPIC moment in the history of American Idol!!! And this is the most epic audition for the position of the frontman for Queen!!! Congratulations Adam!!!
Now I understand why people were complaining bout adam's lost. hahaha! its like adam is singing with a fan :D i mean while he is singing with the other guy its like he's just singing with a fan hahaha!!
Adam stuns me every time I hear him sing. He blew me away the first time i watched this performance on Idol & he continues to amaze me with his vocal ability & stage presence. He's the only choice to sing with Queen, honoring Freddie & Queen's music for another generation. I'm a forever Glambert! Love that special man!
Sharon Bunn I think everyone needs to attend Adam's concerts to appreciate his incredible voice and stunning stage presence. His TOH concert which I attended last year was brilliant. Such a charismatic man. Adam: Love from Tina xx
Best camaraderie between two contestants, ever! Both are so gifted but Adam deserves the front man that almost no one could replace with Queen. Bless you Adam, and Freddie looks down on you with approvals.
There is a documentary where Brian says that he heard about Adam during American idol and they wanted Queen to meet Adam and maybe like test the waters. So this is in a way Adam’s audition to Queen, just look at Brian, I mean he hugged Adam at the end and spoke to him totally ignoring the other singer, cause he came to perform with Adam 👍🏻
I don’t care what the votes said; Adam won. He tours with Queen for God’s sake. One of the greatest bands to ever exist and he’s their frontman. Kris Allen who?
The amazing part is that Brian May actually heard Adam singing on AI and asked AI's producers if they could perform with him. So this performance was no coincidence. Brain was blown away by Adam and knew he could be their frontman from the very beginning.
Wow, is that really true? I just watched them yesterday live in Germany, and I must say as a long time Queen fan, Adam did great. He doesn't attempt to immitate to the fullest Freddie, but he gets the songs done very very well and I applaud him for that. I heards that short after this performance they called him to be part of the group, but wasn't aware that Brian actually asked to be part of this last song. Amazing!
@@stefanstanev8389 Brian May received half million texts/emails and received a copy of Adam Lambert's BR audition song.😊 Spike Edny saw him singing WLOL and called Roger Taylor right away. It's all true.
@@doloresweatherspoon2727 I am glad that Queen Roger n Brian found the perfect front man via AI. After Freddie' passing, Brian looked so lonely by performing as a solo musician. In 2022, I hope that Brian or Roger can make one last Queen song with Adam before they retire. Not sure if they still have the creativity joice in them. Love Brian's love ballade like Show must go on or too much lova can kill you.
Yes undeeed glad that Queen and Adam are now together with Fantastic Perfect Concerts ,thank you Brian & Roger for peforming with Adam.The Perfect & Most Beautiful Combination for this time Deep Respect !!!!!!!!!
What I love is that in the last few years Adam Lambert actually went on tour with Queen in place of Freddie Mercury (RIP, love you 💗). I went to one of the concerts and it was great! He was so wild and crazy, just like Freddie would have been. Of course, he can't take his place, but if I could have anyone singing instead of Freddie, I think it would be him. Such a great singer and performer. He really put on a good show.
Today 5/20/15 is 6th anniversary of when Adam Lambert sang with Queen and this led to his fronting Queen starting in fall of 2011. Congrats Adam you deserve everything you have worked for.
A wonderful full circle moment for Adam now to be touring North America, Japan and Korea with Queen, after Idol, MVA Awards in Belfast that was outstanding and his 6 concert tour with them last summer in London, Kiev, etc. Queen saw the star quality of Adam's powerful, majestic voice and electric stage presence and now a new generataion will hear their timeless music and as Freddie said, "The Show Must Go On. Kris Allen has a very pleasing voice and he and Adam were great friends, but Adam was a seasoned entertainer before Idol and just had the magic, as time bore out. Both exceptionally nice guys, but totally different, appealing to different types of fans. Adam raised the bar for Idol and no one has come close to his abilities. So happy for his success!
Whose been the lead vocalist on Queen tours over the last decade??? O thats right the one who didnt win?? Hmmm AL was always the winner !! Both talented but Adam is vocally untouchable & born front man !
Impossible to look at Kris, Adam is absolutely fantastic. Adam lost American Idol, but he won the world. Adam is really the best. Brian delighted with Adam's performance. This is it. Adam Lambert was born to shine, for to be a star set. I love Adam always. Beautiful, sweet person and magnificent artist, the best vocal, yesterday and today perfect. Love . Adam charms me.😘
Adam sings the hardest part of the songs. Judges kept their eyes fixed on him. Brian May’s eyes speaking to Kris: Nice Karaoke! While you could easily see how impressed the band was when Adam was singing. Lol 😂 Adam took American Idol show that season to another level made em money. But he still got robbed. Imagine the trauma he had to go through after all that. Kudos to Lambert!
I don’t think he suffered any trauma. He emerged the star of the show, immediately went out hard after his own career, became an international star, sold out worldwide tours, made great very successful albums and got the Queen gig, while Kris had one song and then just faded away.
@@SafiRo00 , Adam is the frontman for Queen and has been for 9 years, he is the singer that made Queen as popular as they were in the past, actually, they are bigger than they ever were according to the documentary The Show Must Go On
Gabriele H yes I know and I appreciate him as much as you do and love his voice and work, but he is not the one who should hold the title of lead vocalist because he is not a member of the band. That’s the reason why they present their concerts like Queen+Adam. Freddie will always remain as the lead vocalist as a sign of respect for him.
I'm so proud that Roger and Brian choose Adam. His voice is something like brilliant. I love Queen also without Freddie. Freddie could be so porund to sing big hits Queen with Adam..
That was the last season I gave a crap about. It was such a wrong decision I just stopped watching. Adam was robbed. Better singer, better range, he was just the better choice over all
Because he kept himself back int he vocals, ESPECIALLY during the high parts of the chorus; he knew he couldn't get there, and if he did he'd fuck it, so he just let Adam take it and PRETEND he was pushing into the mic, when he was holding right back. Fuck that loser.
Honestly, just close your eyes or scroll down to the comments.. I can only hear Adam, but when the other guy sings I can tell becuz it sounds horrible in comparison. I've no idea how Adam lost to that.
Adam Lambert did not lose. TEXTGATE Voting SCANDAL WON. which started early in the competition. CZcams VIDEO EXISTS. An ATT EXECUTIVE lost his job day after the finale.
It's now 2020 and last week Adam, together with Brian and Roger, placed his first No. 1 album in the UK and Australia. With 'Live around the world' he created a milestone, what a wonderful story.
It is sad that the biggest reason Adam didnt win was because of his sexuality, which has nothing to do with his singing, which is amazing. He shouldve one regardless.
pictures were leaked a week before the finale o Adam and his ex boyfriend kissing so he was outed. He never denied he was gay or tried to hide it but when those pics came out people made this whole deal about it and voted for Kris who wasn't gay.
Liz Stupid TV Stations. Everyone Assumed Adam Would Win That's Why They Stopped Caring And Voting. Adam Had In The Fucking Bag Until The Controversy Surrounded His Sexuality Which Pissed Me Off.
This is the moment Brian May fell in love with Adam's voice. So cute!
The fact that Adam was later on asked by Queen to perform with them says it all!!
+sssunit19 thats awesome- he deserves it!
He wanted it all...
Between him and Brian, Adam really won.
actually the American idol finale was just Adam's audition for Queen.
@@esan7807 perfect comment !
Haha you can see Brian really favoring Adam already in this
Lol...yep! I noticed that too!
They had chemistry right from the start.
Brian has this look of almost disbelief. What must it be like to stand next to Adam when he performs?
He.was always leaning towards Adam most of the time........I got goosebumps the minute Adam began to sing...... that timbre in his voice.....stay blessed Adam
Brian has said that he tried not to, but it was a natural.
Brian May can't take his eyes off Adam. I know the feeling, Brian.

Adam sang Bohemian Rhapsody at his audition. Then sang with Brian and Roger at the finale. Then Adam is the front man. It was meant to be ❤
great choice. trust me. that chris allen - f*** him he's nothing now.
If that co-performance didn't make it blatantly obvious who the better singer was then you need hearing aids. Queen chose the right new frontman. Congratulations, Adam!
Completely agree with you :D
True dat. When Kris started I thought, oh that sounds nice, and then when Adam started singing it was like bitch hold my mic.

@@SafiRo00 , Adam is the frontman for Queen and has been for 9 years, he is the singer that made Queen as popular as they were in the past, actually, they are bigger than they ever were according to the documentary The Show Must Go On
Gabriele H yes I know and I appreciate him as much as you do and love his voice and work, but he is not the one who should hold the title of lead vocalist because he is not a member of the band. That’s the reason why they present their concerts like Queen+Adam. Freddie will always remain as the lead vocalist as a sign of respect for him.
this was the start of something beautiful!!!!!!!
I'm so proud that Roger and Brian choose Adam. His voice is something like brilliant. I love Queen also without Freddie. Freddie could be so porund to sing big hits Queen with Adam..
Adam was way better than the other guy! He is the winner in my opinion!
Seeing who is the frontman of Queen at present (year 2017) it is clear who was really the winner of American Idol 2009. Adam Lambert.
I stopped watching Idol after Adam lost that season. There was NO WAY Kris Allen was a better musician. He was good, but Adam is mind-blowing.
H.A. Fowler
That was the last straw for me as well.
H.A. Fowler me too
I agree,,
After that I was done!!!!
Adam is the shit!
That was the last season I gave a crap about. It was such a wrong decision I just stopped watching. Adam was robbed. Better singer, better range, he was just the better choice over all
Musician > vocalist
2:14 incredible moment! Adam has amazing voice
You can't even hear the other guy :D
Because he kept himself back int he vocals, ESPECIALLY during the high parts of the chorus; he knew he couldn't get there, and if he did he'd fuck it, so he just let Adam take it and PRETEND he was pushing into the mic, when he was holding right back. Fuck that loser.
Honestly, just close your eyes or scroll down to the comments.. I can only hear Adam, but when the other guy sings I can tell becuz it sounds horrible in comparison. I've no idea how Adam lost to that.
Adam Lambert did not lose.
TEXTGATE Voting SCANDAL WON. which started early in the competition. CZcams VIDEO EXISTS.
An ATT EXECUTIVE lost his job day after the finale.
2:13 goosebumps
I will always believe that Adam's fate was sealed right then. How could he win AND tour with Queen.
Adam Lambert should have won this and I am from Little Rock, AR
Adam showed what a professional he is by singing down to not show his opponent up, but Brian knew what he’d found.
Exactly! Adam Lambert is amazing...
Brian May and Roger Taylor were there to assess Adam Lambert's Live on stage performance and his voice. It didn't matter who's his competing with.
It's now 2020 and last week Adam, together with Brian and Roger, placed his first No. 1 album in the UK and Australia. With 'Live around the world' he created a milestone, what a wonderful story.
Anyone watching this in 2021
Me!!
Still an all-time favorite performance - when Queen met Adam Lambert!
when I heard Adam, I got goosebumps immediately. Love his talent, love the facts he is now with Queen !! 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
It is sad that the biggest reason Adam didnt win was because of his sexuality, which has nothing to do with his singing, which is amazing. He shouldve one regardless.
No he lost cause the show was rigged, he came out as gay after lol
Autumn Danielle same with Brian Justin Crum
pictures were leaked a week before the finale o Adam and his ex boyfriend kissing so he was outed. He never denied he was gay or tried to hide it but when those pics came out people made this whole deal about it and voted for Kris who wasn't gay.
Autumn Danielle
That should have never been an issue.

Stupid TV Stations. Everyone Assumed Adam Would Win That's Why They Stopped Caring And Voting. Adam Had In The Fucking Bag Until The Controversy Surrounded His Sexuality Which Pissed Me Off.
you can't even hear kris half the time when adam is singing with him. Monster of a voice
