I would recommend watching the documentary “The Show Must Go On: the Queen + Adam Lambert Story.” It covers how Queen and Adam Lambert got together after they saw him do the Led Zeppelin song on American Idol.
There are no words to describe how phenomenal and multitalented this amazing human.ADAM deserves thousands of BRAVO for all of his creations in the world of entertainment❤ 🎉
Alison (girl with red hair) worked with Adam on his velvet album, she was one of the background singers and went on tour with him , looks like she is still singing so that is great!
John, thanks so much for playing the entire run of songs! I’m 73 , and I about fell out of my chair when I heard him at that first audition! Like you, I think that him coming in second was the best thing in the long run.
Love your comments!!! And BTW Adam sang in Nashwille a country song Girl Crush with Leona Lewis at the 2015 CMT Artists of the Year awards and it was amazing! All country artists there loved it!
When he sang Believe i was like hm sounds pretty good, but when you compared it to his Kennedy Center performance you can clearly hear how much he improved and he sounds even better.
"There are many good vocalists, but there are few like Adam. He sings as he breathes, what a pitch, and what an amazing timbre! To me, he is a vocal phenomenon whose genre flexibility has no precedent in modern pop and rock culture. Live he sounds esoteric! He's also a funny guy and humorist, and that's what I like. " - Anthony Hopkins Sir Anþhony was at three Queen+Lambert concerts
After the show Allison had her own band with some success. Allison was only 15 when the show started. Adam took her under his wing, after the show Adam invited to stay at his home when he was out of town.
Adam! Adam! Adam! I was going thru an unexpected, unwanted divorce after 29 years of marriage. Adam helped me survive it. My oldest son got me tickets to his post- AI concert. ❤❤❤ Mad World was my favorite.
Adam Lambert was By Far my favorite Idol contestant. We. In fact, quit watching after his season. If he cant win, it wasn't worth watching anymore, IMO..
Hi,I’ve been watching your reaction videos for quite a while now and I really like your comments. I’m a glambert ,I live in Australia. I’m in my 70s ,you have such a beautiful heart , I was a nurse in a dementia hospital for a long time. So thanks for all you do for those people. I’ve watched Adam’s idol journey several times , he’s amazing, as are you. Greetings from Australia 🇦🇺❤
I missed this live, but I LOVED Adam Lambert after AI. I loved watching him grow up to who he is now. I know he'll never be Freddy, but I'm sure Freddy would have been happy that QUEEN is still going.with him singing.
I need to remind myself this every once in a while recently. The other guy got more votes than were statistically possible out of Arkansas. It was not a transparent vote.
I fell head over heels for Adam when ge did Play That Funky Music. After that performance I knew he was gonna be something special for a very long time Thank you for your tirade BTW, i agree whoke heartedly ❤
I watched this when it was on and have never seen anyone better him in competition,he was amazing,I was really getting angry with the comments from some of the judges,the other guy who won was pale in comparison. However it didn’t do Adam any harm because look at him now with queen,and where’s the other guy ,never seen again
Every time I open RUclips now, I always check your channel for any new Adam reactions. They're always so good. I hope you get a chancBTW, listen or react to Nessum Dorma or Soaked by Adam. A ton of other songs come to mind. I'm 63 and don't really know much about Patreon, but I may have to learn!
Thank you doing this, brings back memories. I missed the telecast at the time, but was introduced later and caught some of the weekly shows' reviews. One reviewer noted that in addition to vocals, Adam did try to distinguish himself with the audience in other ways too... like for movie theme week, when most of the others did ballads and soulful numbers, he "came skipping out" with Born to be wild. (Country week being the most obvious one too lol)
Yep, Anthony Hopkins. During Adam's AI season there were a number of celebrities and often with their spouse or children in the Audience. I had not see that in other seasons and I am pretty sure it was to see Adam's performances.
Adam was the first person on Idol that I ever bothered voting for! It's a tie between him and Chris Daughtry as far as who is my favorite of all time from that show.
I remember watching his original audition on American Idol and thinking to myself "this kid's going to be a HUGE star." He had that amazing voice, charisma, and stage presence, and he came across as normal - poised and confident but not arrogant or douchey. His talent is really obvious here, but I actually think that he's gotten better over the years. He's more polished, more thoughtful in how he uses his voice, but has lost none of the power and distinctiveness of his vocals.
He should have won. I think he got screwed when it came out he was gay and that probably hurt him some on winning. I saw him with my mom and queen he was great. I also saw him at his solo show.
yea Chris do have a good voice but you cannot compare Chris and Adam, Adam has one of the best voices in the world and he is in a class of his own (singing/performing)
When the other guy won, he actually said it should have been Adam,literally right there on stage after he won lol.. even he knew that Adam should have won and the reason he didn’t was absolutely ridiculous due to the “scandal” of him being gay. Also… Watch the documentary recommended. It’s amazing!
Thank you John for this reaction, every now and then I watch Adam Idol performances. When you have a chance you should listen to his feeling good recorded version that he did at the time for iTunes. It’s here on RUclips, goosebumps I’m telling you, check it out, you won’t be disappointed.
If you want rebellion in Adam's performance and it doesn't bother you him making out with Tommy (his straight bass player) then you need to react to his performance of Purple Haze/Whole Lotta Love from his Amsterdam show during the Glamnation tour. It was recorded by fans, not on TV, so he really let loose and let's just say there was some haze in the air. His fans lost their sh*t over that one in a good way. I don't recommend it unless I think the reactor is open to Adam being so open. Here's a link to a fan compilation of it, so good - ruclips.net/video/buwU6k7RP2c/видео.html
Adam Lambert was yet another contestant that was bullied by Simon. Made fun of Adam's makeup. Look up Adam's performance of Sia's "Chandelier " on America's Got Talent. Simon is much softer since he had a child. Simon also bullied Jennifer Hudson about her weight. Both are laughing all the way to the bank.
Oh the memories! I didn't watch this live - came in after the AMA performance. I don't like the MJ performance, I think it was his weakest and pitchiest of the show (we just skip right over that monstrosity of a song Kara wrote). But hardly the low point of the show. You really need to see the other contestants to appreciate how much Adam stood out. It makes some of Simon's comments even more ridiculous.
My favorite American Idol contestant was Adam Lambert. I quit watching Idol when he lost. That just showed me how bogus these shows are. My second favorite is Kelly Clarkson. At least they got it right on the first season.
I would recommend watching the documentary “The Show Must Go On: the Queen + Adam Lambert Story.” It covers how Queen and Adam Lambert got together after they saw him do the Led Zeppelin song on American Idol.
A little about theatrics... Adam is currently performing on Broadway in Cabaret and is literally killing it.
And he dyed his hair back to his original strawberry blonde for a while and yes, he did look like his dad. He has since gone back to dark brown.
There are no words to describe how phenomenal and multitalented this amazing human.ADAM deserves thousands of BRAVO for all of his creations in the world of entertainment❤ 🎉
There is a documentary of the journey from Queen with Adam which is called: " The show must go on" .... very worth to check out!
I watched that many times
You can find it on RUclips. It was on Netflix for a long time.
Alison (girl with red hair) worked with Adam on his velvet album, she was one of the background singers and went on tour with him , looks like she is still singing so that is great!

Sir Anþhony was at three Queen+Lambert concerts
After the show Allison had her own band with some success. Allison was only 15 when the show started. Adam took her under his wing, after the show Adam invited to stay at his home when he was out of town.
Adam Lambert was born in 1982 (same year as my daughter) so he is now age 42.
M y son was living in NYC and called me to watch him. He was great! Adam's 42 and will be 43 this winter. He ages backwards.
Adam! Adam! Adam! I was going thru an unexpected, unwanted divorce after 29 years of marriage. Adam helped me survive it. My oldest son got me tickets to his post- AI concert. ❤❤❤ Mad World was my favorite.
Alison was a background singer inthe studio sessions for Velvet. She had blue hair. She also opened for part of Glamnationtiur
Adam Lambert was By Far my favorite Idol contestant. We. In fact, quit watching after his season. If he cant win, it wasn't worth watching anymore, IMO..
Yeah ... that was the last season I watched.
Adam was way better than any other contestant on this show that season.
Adam with Queen have been in concert all over the world

As original as Adam was, he had strategy plus he can do anything with his voice.
My favorite all time idol!!
I missed this live, but I LOVED Adam Lambert after AI. I loved watching him grow up to who he is now. I know he'll never be Freddy, but I'm sure Freddy would have been happy that QUEEN is still going.with him singing.
My opinion Adam is better singer than Fred!
He was in Wicked on Broadway. He played Fiero/Scarecrow.
If I can't have You was one of my favorites, if not my favorite. Adam's performance was so beautiful.
The best thing that could happened was him losing idol..hes a mega star now and wheres the other guy now?
I need to remind myself this every once in a while recently. The other guy got more votes than were statistically possible out of Arkansas. It was not a transparent vote.
I fell head over heels for Adam when ge did Play That Funky Music. After that performance I knew he was gonna be something special for a very long time
Thank you for your tirade BTW, i agree whoke heartedly ❤
I love how enthusiastic Paula Abdul was about Adam; literally his cheerleader from day 1 through to the end of the show.
I watched this when it was on and have never seen anyone better him in competition,he was amazing,I was really getting angry with the comments from some of the judges,the other guy who won was pale in comparison. However it didn’t do Adam any harm because look at him now with queen,and where’s the other guy ,never seen again
In USA....Adam...he was magnificent in person! In England....Olly Murs...a real showman
Every time I open RUclips now, I always check your channel for any new Adam reactions. They're always so good. I hope you get a chancBTW, listen or react to Nessum Dorma or Soaked by Adam. A ton of other songs come to mind. I'm 63 and don't really know much about Patreon, but I may have to learn!
My all time favorite is Adam of course💜🥰 love your reaction to this and all other Adam videos🤗🥰
I waited for his performance every week back then.
QUEEN =Adam.. Thankyou for keeping our Queen -Freddie alive.
"Whole Lot of Love" Amazing!
Thank you doing this, brings back memories. I missed the telecast at the time, but was introduced later and caught some of the weekly shows' reviews.

Mad World was my favorite of Adam’s songs!! He is amazing!
Adam was the first person on Idol that I ever bothered voting for! It's a tie between him and Chris Daughtry as far as who is my favorite of all time from that show.
Some iconic performances! I’ve been a fan since idol. ❤
He's been lead singer of Queen since 2012
The show ran late the night Adam sang Mad World. People taping the show missed it altogether. People were pissed.
Adam is always amazing and your voice is the best to.
I remember watching his original audition on American Idol and thinking to myself "this kid's going to be a HUGE star." He had that amazing voice, charisma, and stage presence, and he came across as normal - poised and confident but not arrogant or douchey.

John love your comments, they are right on point
Great reaction, thanks John. He is really the best. ❤ Nice to see and hear a review of his full journey. 👍
Colton Dixon and Dalton Rappatoni, Iam Tongi, and Alejandro are some of my favorite American Idol people!!
Fave idol contestant of ALL time is actually a tor between Adam and David Cook
Wow, a monster video, love it! Adam Lambert is amazing!
Yes
Loved, Loved, your reaction. Adam Lambert amazes me.
Finding out that Adam Lambert is almost 43 has changed my perspective of everything
My favorite one Adam Lambert
Amazing showman!
He was born January 29th, 1982..so he's currently 42 going on 43. 😂 😂
Adam Lambert will be 43 years old in January.
Paula was the original glambert. ☺
I’m sooo excited by this!!
Ring Of Fire was shocking for the shows wholesome image. They wanted him to tone it down a little but the people watching were HELL NO.
Favorite AI contestant of all time…..ADAM LAMBERT by a mile!
He's definitely one of my favorite AI contestants. I was also a huge fan of Melinda Doolittle.
Led Zeppeling song was it for Queen wanting Adam lambert as his frontman.
He should have won. I think he got screwed when it came out he was gay and that probably hurt him some on winning. I saw him with my mom and queen he was great. I also saw him at his solo show.
Lol, how could anyone have not figured out by now who Adam is and how over the top he is, Randy LOL!
You should have watched this one. It has everything.
Adam Lambert's American Idol Journey #15tHAnniversary
Jamie was right, Adam idd "knock my head off" with "Feeling Good"
Simon Fuller not Simon Cowell chose 'Change is gonna come' for Adam to sing in the Finale
yea Chris do have a good voice but you cannot compare Chris and Adam, Adam has one of the best voices in the world and he is in a class of his own (singing/performing)
And David Cook
When the other guy won, he actually said it should have been Adam,literally right there on stage after he won lol.. even he knew that Adam should have won and the reason he didn’t was absolutely ridiculous due to the “scandal” of him being gay.
Also… Watch the documentary recommended. It’s amazing!

love adam😍
Waiting for your reaction on JIN's new solo albam HAPPY❤👍💖
Maybe I’m the weird one, but personally I like No Boundaries 🤷
Hi John
React to David cooks idol journey please
He was my favorite contestant ever ! I don’t think Simon ever liked him
Simon likes him.
Adam Lambert was yet another contestant that was bullied by Simon. Made fun of Adam's makeup. Look up Adam's performance of Sia's "Chandelier " on America's Got Talent. Simon is much softer since he had a child. Simon also bullied Jennifer Hudson about her weight. Both are laughing all the way to the bank.
0:47 did you know Adam Lambert was a chubby, red haired freckled boy who found his awesomeness
Oh the memories! I didn't watch this live - came in after the AMA performance.

I dont trust these shows, they decide who wins
My favorite American Idol contestant was Adam Lambert. I quit watching Idol when he lost. That just showed me how bogus these shows are. My second favorite is Kelly Clarkson. At least they got it right on the first season.
It was better er that be didn't win. Chris Allen the guy that won is not as nearly successful as Adam
Crapy song written by the Judge Kara, still Adam even made sound good. Both semifinalist had to sing the song,
