+Vimski I don't know you, but bad times tend to hurt a lot, but it will pass, you will have good times, it might not be the same, but you will have them and enjoy them. Take care
+Vimski I don't really know what your age now, maybe getting close to or a like past 20. My point is, yes hard times but the great thing about being a young adult is to find and create your own world. Your parents are divorce, can't do anything about it. Brother and sister refuses to get over it, don't deal with them. Go and find and create your happy world that you've always wanted and reclame what you've lost. Follow your dreams.
The circle has closed - since 2011 he is the frontman of the iconic Queen, who has no competition among contemporary pop rock singers. Range, flexibility, showmanship. 32 years after Freddie's death, Q + AL are selling out arenas. An incredible story! 🤩🤩🤩
What's hysterical is people think he's a good fit for Queen. Adam can sing but he's no Freddie. It's like expecting a toddler to fill his dad's shoes. The same has happened to a lot of great bands though. You can always get new members but someone like Freddie...there's no filling in for him.
Vintage Hate He’s not trying to be Freddie dumbass,Adam is trying to keep Freddie and Queen alive and make today’s people remember their memorable songs and he has a very good voice to be in Queen.
XxVipe X VapeXx When did I say he's trying to be Freddie? I said hes trying to fill the spot. He's no Freddie. Meaning he doesn't have the voice or stage presence to fill the spot. Not a lot of people do. As for making them remember? No. That's like Shinedown when they tried to cover Simple Man. Ronnie Van Zant is another great that you cannot fill in for. At this point he's ruining the songs by changing vocals.
Mike Mike No, he has never kissed one of his dancers. Did not "hump a guy from behind" either. All of that is in your imagination - he never did either during a show. He kissed one band member, who was playing keyboard in one show, and bass on other shows. Why are you making up things about Adam Lambert ? Anyway, those shows were a long time ago (2009-2010 to be exact). Don't you think it's time to get over it FIVE years later ?
+Igor Yegin I'm suprised Adam was accepted in Russia to perform. I mean, from what I know, Russia has pretty low tolerance policy towards the LGBT community, other countries with similarly close-minded people try to sabotage such artists.
Bobby Truck I get your point. However, firstly, Russia is not very religious country (at least when it comes to urban areas), and, secondly, Putin deserves very little respect.
Igor Yegin Ah good you're russian, I always wanted to talk with someone. So tell me, how is it to live in a country where Putin rules? How's life there? I really wanted to get the whole picture from a native russian because media is full of propaganda when it comes down to you guys.
I remember in a interview Adam once said that Freddie was one in a million, nobody can replace him and there's even no chance to try to. All he does is just bringing the songs of the rock n roll golden age to life again. It's dedication. I don't think there's a PROPER way that one song should be sung like.(Surely what I'm talking about does not include the pitch or something like that) The magic power of music is the diversity of interpretation. Like it or not, it's taste thing, not the so called "proper".
@@randomstuff6791 you are ignorant. Freddie Mercury wrote and sang pop songs, just like Sir Elton John, George Michael, Pink, Taylor Swift, Madonna, Prince, Michael Jackson etc. and eternal eternal etc's. QUEEN's songs are eclectic and Adam Lambert has been singing them all in their original keys live on stage in Arenas and Stadiums since 2009. I wish trolls refrain in exposing jealous rants.
Adam Lambert is a classically trained tenor, 2nd best on Digital Door, an archived list of ROCKERS. Listed greats are unique and original vocalists with incomparable singing style and techniques. BOTH Freddie Mercury and Adam Lambert are listed. Adam Lambert is capable of singing multiple music genres, including Opera, hold his notes for 21seconds or more and his range is from the lowest to the highest note of a guitar.
I don’t think Adam would even appreciate being called the frontman or lead singer, let alone seeing himself as such! And we can most-likely believe that none of the surviving members of Queen could ever imagine possibly replacing Freddie, either in their minds or for real. It’s a non-issue because he’s irreplaceable. I think they heard Adam sing, and saw him with his clear passion for their music, plus a similarly “fabulous” personality as Freddie-albeit coming from a bit more stable of a person (no offense to Freddie; it is what it is)-and they WANTED to work w him. Key word-work. Not use him to be the lead singer or frontman. He’s a SINGER… the singer of a band generally stands at the FRONT. Doesn’t mean they’re the frontman. Positioning is just stage presence. Nothing more - nothing less. Also, a “band” is a group-effort to create a single sound, not a leader, conductor or frontman directing everyone else. Unless your name is Beyoncé… and the group was Destiny’s Child. And you were the “child of destiny.” Hahaha. Jk. A band works as a complete unit. “Lead vocalists” are really just “vocalists”, and their voice is yet another instrument in the entirety of the sound of the group…
Sir Brian May received over half a million calls, texts and a clip of this audition for his solo career and it's also highlighted on QUEEN and Adam Lambert's The Show Must Go On NETFLIX movie.
I live in the UK and never watched 'American Idol' when it was shown on TV here. It never interested me. But one Saturday afternoon I was flicking through channels and happened to come across this guy auditioning. I was blown away and ended up watching the rest of the series just to hear him. He is amazing. Soo glad to see he's now touring with Queen and made it in the music business. With a voice like that, it's hard not to see how
Mario John You can be pissed as much as you like, nothing will change and there are a great many fans who are enjoying this union. Freddie's legacy is intact. Shame on you for thinking anyone can destroy that.
+indo mamoro hey uh Indo..theres a couple more people you need to tell to stfu. Youre just a non thinker, you think Im being anti gay or anti Adam byt Im not. Too flamboyant and theatrical doesnt make for great solo performances. George Michael wasnt. And ge was caught givin handys in seedy public bathrooms in NY. lol
+Richard Inman not necessarily true, some of the greatest most memorable musicians/performers of all time did very theatrical performances such as, David Bowie, Freddie Mercury, Cher, Madonna, the list goes on & on & on
Baby Cream how the fuck he could be Freddie?? Dude he is dead! That's it. Face it! I love Freddie too but that guy can't come back to sing you Bohemian Rhapsody
4 years ago Adam sang Queen's Bohemian Rhapsody in the audition of the American Idol; time passing, in 2013 he went touring with Queen, singing the same song - Bohemian Rhapsody in the iHeartRadio Festival. it touched me a a lot, and Adam truely made it.
I saw him basically star in the Queen concert last year and I can honestly say that I am so happy to see how far he has come in his career. He was reallllllly good btw and this is just such a refreshing video to see
why is everyone dissing this guy? It takes courage to get up on stage, in front of the camera crews and four big celebrities and sing. So what if he picked the song queen, he liked the song, they liked the song. And its not like he couldn't match the pitch or screwed up the lyrics. Plus he has confidence, a down to earth attitude and quite polite imo. I don't see how you could hate any of that.
I think I can tell you. One sad day, Freddie Mercury died. He was a music legend. And like every music legends, people tend to build him up in their heads, even inconsciously, and are lead to believe that he was actually far, far better than he was, to a point that it is impossible to even compare. Was Freddie Mercury a great singer ? Yes, and maybe one of the best. But he wasn't as inhumanly good as some people hold him in their thoughts. Then one day the band Queen decides that, since it's kind of a fashion trend (let's be honnest), they should meet and tour once more, because why not ? It wasn't Freddie Mercury's band, it was theirs as well. So they try to find a good singer, who can at least sing in the range of Mercury. Luckily, there is this man, Adam Lambert, who was noticed for his tastes in rock in a show that brought him quite a lot of fans already. The perfect candidate. But then, two things happen. First of all, as I said, people got so high up their horses about Mercury that they cannot stand anyone taking his place ; in addition, this band plays rock, and let's say that rock fans have a tendency to be really not thrilled about the giant manufactures that are these Idol shows - rightfully so most of time -. And it doesn't matter if Queen wasn't the most hardcore rock band ever and was totally fan with selling out even when Mercury was alive : they're legendary, rock fans cannot stand someone tackling their legends. So there you have it : a perfect replacement for Freddie Mercury in many accounts, he is a rock fan, is in touch with the pop world and the charts - or was let's be honnest again -, and has the vocal range to do a decent job, and the stage presence. But because he comes from American Idols and he is tackling a legend, rock fans will HATE HIM. His case is not uncommon : Arnel Pineda taking over as the lead singer in Journey, and being by far the best singer they had since Steve Perry, also started a lot of hate. And let's not talk about Ian Astbury, who was a singer in The Cult since 1983, playing with the Doors, under a different name for copyright issues (The Doors of the 21st Century, who had the three musicans playing with Jim Morrison in the Doors but still couldn't name their band the Doors, that's how the rock world is conservative about their legends), and got shit thrown at him ever since. Here you go, this is, I believe, the reason why people hate Adam Lambert. Because they cannot let go of their legends, mostly because they are nostalgic of a time when rock bands were the shit, topping the charts and all. Also notice one last thing : all of these peoples I quoted are singers. Switch Brian May for Steve Morse in Queen and you'll see that most people won't care.
Zenbateau my question was rhetorical but regardless I totally understand, agree with and support everything you said. just awesome, couldn't have said it better.
+Just Satya He used to live in a squalid apartment his dad nicknamed as 'roach motel'. No record company wanted to sign him because he's gay. Idol was his last straw. He actually auditioned for Glee but got turned down. He also auditioned for We Will Rock You the musical but got turned down. After Idol, Glee's producer invited him back to star in a few episodes and Brian May screwed his casting director for turning Adam down. Now, Adam did not get a part in the tribute band but he is wanted as the frontman of Queen instead, and QAL are selling out arenas/stadiums going on a neverending tour due to demand. Adam is a real rags to riches story.
AHHHH! It doesn't seem that long! I voted for you everytime, I had no douts that you were going to be in the top two. Too bad you didn't win, but still you got far in your career! I'm trying to get my parents to put me on American idol, and if they do I am going to sing whatayah want from me, or never close our eyes. I would sing better than I know myself, but I can't go that high. Thank you for being on American idol, and becoming who you are today and influencing me in your songs to keep trying and to never give up on my dreams. After all, yours did come true. Thank you!! :D
True, but it's a good test of how talented the singers are. Maintaining pitch without any backing track/band is not easy to do unless you have a good ear.
Frederik Wit you can tell where a song is going by hearing the beginning, which is why when you audition you aim to be just as good at the beginning as the end
actually the audition was longer ( he first sung a Michael Jackson song and than after that this song) but for TV you have to edit&shorten what they show
Have you not seen The Voice? You get judges who hit the button after listening to a single word being sang. They're professionals, they may not always be right but they know a talented singer when they hear one.
OMG y'all... I listened to Adam for as long as I can remember. His music brings back so many memories and he never fails to put a smile on my face and I owe him everything for improving my life and boosting my happiness and confidence. I really really REALLY REALLY love him, to the moon and much much farther. :)
He seems like a great guy, and he's a great singer. I don't see why many people don't like him and I must say I no longer care; my opinion has been formed.
I watched him for awhile, and think I see "both sides". I too like him, a lot. But then he did two things--not a big deal to you or me--but things that alienated a LOT of people. First, he was a shoe in to win the season, but then on "country night" He ridiculed country music, so he lost a lot of base (he did, whether you like country or not). So stupid of him, he could have picked a classic country song, sang it in a non country way, and it would have bee great, but no. Next, when he came out as gay, (most of us thought "do what?") BUT THEN, he gave a concert where he really put it in our faces, doing all kinds of pretty lewd things, it was liked "OK, your gay, but even if you are straight, don't go out there and simulate oral sex, you low class heathen". Honestly, that did away with "liking him" for many people, so there is no mystery at all. Yes, some would have never liked the Gay guy, but there were a lot people like me, who liked and still like, but not as much after that crap
Jmichael Isbell I was never a fan o American or any other Idol, I don't like that instant star n' shit(i'm old school kind of guy when it comes to music, you know play in garage , write your own album n' shit).I first heard of Lambert when he joined Queen( he and that guy Martell i think were competeing for the spot and i liked the Martell more because he was indetical to Freddie's vocals and Lambert was exactly what Simon Cowell said , he read my mind , too theatrical , and for me too much improvisation ) and i was mad , i didn't like this guy from the start and i sayd instantly this guy is a gay you can se from mile far, and i found out officially just now from you. It's not that he needed to say that , it's like Jim Carey admits that he 's a comedian. I got nothing against gay population, i'm not homophobic n' shit but he is so much into it that it knows to be anoying....Freddie was gay but he weared it with so much more style, i don't have to say that i consider him singing i Queen a blasphemy, thats my opinion....and by the way thanks for the info, you seem like a cool dude...no offense if i said something wrong.
Imagine telling Adam after this that not only will you reach the finale of Idol, but the song you're singing? You're going to be their lead singer and tour with them. Crazy to look back now
You know what makes this simple audition to touring with queen and be a judge in X factor and American idol and sold millions of albums? True talent dear TRUE TALENT
Sir_Mercury I was talking stupid on purpose, and how can someone not know how to talk right? You must mean they have bad grammar, or speak English improperly. By the way, "Yea" is spelled "Yeah". Also, you forgot a comma right after "Yeah", and you forgot to put a period at the end of your statement. Don't go saying stuff that you can't do yourself, bud.
+Mateus TV O foda é que eu me sinto único, lembro de assistir essa edição em 2009, e lembro que minha mãe que assistia comigo falou que ia ''torcer'' por ele HUAHUAHUHA
To all the trolls with your insulting messages - you are pathetic. Adam's private life is none of your concern. His truly superb voice has brought him global stardom, a solo career, plus he has been chosen by Dr Brian and Roger Taylor to be front man of Queen, to global acclaim. What have you hate - filled trolls achieved?
It's just amazing how he was so excited, yet he had no idea. No idea at all that he would make it to second place on the show and first place in my heart.
Just simply amazing to see and hear Brian and Roger. Queen will always be Queen, and Adam will always be Adam lambert,hence the Title Queen and Adam lambert. Never in a million years will there ever be another Freddie and never in a million years will anyone ever replace him, but if it means someone stepping in and singing for him just so we can still have Brian and Roger playing live then so be it. LONG LIVE QUEEN
...And He now lead sings for one of the greatest band in Rock history. Freddie Mercury is my idol and one of the greatest voices of all, and I'm sure He would approved Adam as lead singer of the band if He was still alive and unable to perform. He's got stage presence, voice and charisma...That's why Brian & Roger brought him on board.
I get that everyone thinks "only Freddie can sing this", but c'mon! Do you really want no one to ever hear this masterpiece of a song ever again? At least "let" some one talented sing it so the next generations can enjoy! ❤️ ❤️ ❤️
Adam Lambert é um fantástico showman! Voz maravilhosa!!Grande show no Rock in Rio 2015! Um dos melhores shows do Queen!Nesse show no Rock in Rio arrebentou!Maravilhoso vocalista!
@@MissMausoleum i know he did a really good arrangement of a kanye song, it was stellar, but besides him being in a streak of wgwg, I dont remember him.
This audition happened in June 2008. Six and a half years later, Adam's performance of Queen songs, including BoRap, with Queen is garnering reviews like this: "It was Lambert's own virtual duet with Mercury on Bohemian Rhapsody that truly showed how well his vocals compete with the great man himself. The 32-year-old's talent is staggering, with a range, clarity and tone that make him one of the world's great vocalists." Review by Catherine Gee of Queen + Adam Lambert concert at the O2, London on Jan. 17, 2015, published in The Telegraph Jan 18, 2015.
+EXEJON No he didn't , but if he had won and had been tied into a contract and everything else that comes along with winning American Idol, he wouldn't have done everything he's done. I still think the reason why he didn't win was because the people running the show knew he was gay and they didn't think that that would play to every audience. However I've always thought that American Idol was rigged. The only doubt in my mind about American Idol being rigged was the fact that David Cook won. but then again Chris Daughtry didn't win either. You go and watch the results when he got voted off and the surprise is all over everyone's face. His, the judges, Ryan Seacrest, the person who got to stay, and the audience.
Erica Beumel Not saying it means anything that he didn't win. Look at Daughtry. I believe he was the 4th runner up and went miles beyond the competition. American Idol is good for bringing attention to talent and if it is indeed rigged, then they are horrible at ranking said talent.
+Sandy Why didn't he win? A week before the finale, Bill O'Reilly showed a pic of Adam kissing his ex and called it 'disgusting' and then religious leaders warned their members to not vote for Adam because they can't let a homosexual 'win' so they swayed the votes towards Kris even though they were not his fans. Also, church leader Gokey's fans (he lost at Top 3) also swayed their votes towards Kris because Kris was a Christian/conservative. Homophobia caused Adam's lost. Brian May from Queen knows about the anti-gay lobby and he denounced it in one of his interviews. Also, there was an AT&T power texting conspiracy in Arkansas - population of 2.8 million managed to generate 38 million votes for Kris (google for all these if you are interested to find out more).
Him not winning was the biggest upset in Idol history. He was unjustly robbed of the title. The day he lost was the day I stopped watching Idol. One, what is the point of voting when the best can't win. Two, there will NEVER be another contestant who can top Adam.
That is so stupid! I'm Christian and I would never not vote for him because of his sexual preference. He is talented and I'm glad that he is successful today
the main reason why I don't watch the x factor or the voice or american idol is this!!! every show is fake! Generally winning a competition like this doesn't necessarily mean that you are going to have a successful career! ! and of course being excuded from a competition like this doesn't mean that you have failed and you cannot have a successful career! so don't bother!! its all fake!
I'm glad Adam didn't win! It's disgusting that "religious leaders" would do that when they're only job is to teach fellow to LOVE each other. But with that said if Adam would of won he would of been tied down by that one contract. Also look at everyone who won. A lot are popular for a year or two and then they kind of dissapear. But look at Adam for example I believe he came in second and he is still around.
You know who knew and loved Freddie more than any of you so called Queen fans? Do you know who is more invested in Queen's music, name, and legacy than any of you? The actual members of Queen; Brian May and Roger Taylor. They love Adam and respect his vocal and performance ability enough to invite him to tour and sing these treasured songs. How about you guys show a little respect for their opinion? I think after all of their success, they know what they are doing.
Abraços do Brasil, seu show foi demais, esperamos a volta do Queen e você representando o Freddie com orgulho! Grande show o de vocês! O Brasil ama vocês!
All that doubt from Simon, yet this was the guy chosen by rock royalty to succeed - not replace - the greatest frontman in history. No, he's no Freddie Mercury (nobody is or ever will be) but I saw him with Queen twice in a week and both gigs were mind-blowing. Adam has a terrific voice and does a damn good job fronting the greatest band ever, in this modern era without their main man. If you wait for dear old Freddie to come back to tour with Queen then unfortunately you're going to be waiting a long time. This is the next best thing and gives those of us who were only young when Mercury died a chance to see Queen play some of the greatest songs ever written.
I can only back you up on this one. I've always loved Queen and their songs, and Freddie did a great job! Sadly, he isn't amongst us today; but both Brian May and Roger Taylor has acknowledged Adam's talents, and ask him, themselves, if he wanted to play gigs with them and honor Freddie, one of Adam's own idols. It wasn't because he kept phoning them down and pleading them to take him; but simply because they saw some potential in him that they knew Freddie would've appreciated and vouched for. So props to Adam for getting the chance to preform with one of the greatest bands on Earth.
To his credit, Simon gave the greatest credit he's ever given an Idol contestant ever to Adam Lambert, after his performance of "Mad World" he simply stood up and gave him a standing ovation...
Simon didn't say anything but "he's theatrical." Then he got interrupted and she jumped down his throat. Gee wiz Fox Network, drama much? But knowing Simon, he was probably about to say something douchy. But seriously that chick...interrupts him, then says its like pulling teeth. She was the most annoying part of the audition. Also, I love me some Adam Lambert!
I remember watching this when it first came out and I was so young! Remember thinking specifically he is amazing! And the anger when he lost in the final! Really opened my eyes
![Felix "Unfair" | [Stray Kids : SKZ-PLAYER]](http://i.ytimg.com/vi/Oswujxm2Ag0/mqdefault.jpg)
The fact that he went from singing a Queen song in his audition to touring and singing with Queen..amazing.
I live for "let's see how far we've come" moments like that. When I first heard he was touring with Queen I could not have been more proud of him :')
Years later he actually performs with Queen.

In 2016, several years after Lambert became the lead singer for Queen, the questions about Lambert's singing ability are hysterical.
you can say that again! saw queen + adam at Sweden Rock, damn the man can sing!!
What's hysterical is people think he's a good fit for Queen. Adam can sing but he's no Freddie. It's like expecting a toddler to fill his dad's shoes.
The same has happened to a lot of great bands though. You can always get new members but someone like Freddie...there's no filling in for him.
Vintage Hate He’s not trying to be Freddie dumbass,Adam is trying to keep Freddie and Queen alive and make today’s people remember their memorable songs and he has a very good voice to be in Queen.
XxVipe X VapeXx When did I say he's trying to be Freddie? I said hes trying to fill the spot. He's no Freddie.

exactly what I thought before reading the title
They didn't even look alike.
shook nasty i was talling about the 2009 Anthony. The hair looks almost similar but the facial features are totally different.

wow. look where he is now.
A minor celebrity with a music career that rode on the show for about 2 albums and then fell off?
odobenus159 Um no. He's now the lead singer of Queen. #Ironic
Kelli England Sorry, I had no idea, Just as I am sure you have no idea what the word ironic means.

Mike Mike
No, he has never kissed one of his dancers. Did not "hump a guy from behind" either. All of that is in your imagination - he never did either during a show. He kissed
one band member, who was playing keyboard in one show, and bass on other shows. Why are you making up things about Adam Lambert ? Anyway, those shows were a long time ago (2009-2010 to be exact). Don't you think it's time to get over it FIVE years later ?

And now he is up there singing with queen
Or as Roger says, "What remains of Queen".
?:O
..? hes dead? no hes not? the fuck
Oml 😂 no he's the fill in for Freddy Mercury I think they were gonna on tour and stuff
...Yea....he is singing with Queen.......
I remember in a interview Adam once said that Freddie was one in a million, nobody can replace him and there's even no chance to try to. All he does is just bringing the songs of the rock n roll golden age to life again. It's dedication.
I don't think there's a PROPER way that one song should be sung like.(Surely what I'm talking about does not include the pitch or something like that) The magic power of music is the diversity of interpretation. Like it or not, it's taste thing, not the so called "proper".
Um, no. He's bringing the songs from the golden age of Rock n Roll by taking all the Rock n Roll away and turning them into pop songs.

He does NOT "take the Rock n Roll away". You evidently have not seen him performing with Queen live.
@@randomstuff6791 you are ignorant. Freddie Mercury wrote and sang pop songs, just like Sir Elton John, George Michael, Pink, Taylor Swift, Madonna, Prince, Michael Jackson etc. and eternal eternal etc's. QUEEN's songs are eclectic and Adam Lambert has been singing them all in their original keys live on stage in Arenas and Stadiums since 2009. I wish trolls refrain in exposing jealous rants.
Adam Lambert is a classically trained tenor, 2nd best on Digital Door, an archived list of ROCKERS. Listed greats are unique and original vocalists with incomparable singing style and techniques. BOTH Freddie Mercury and Adam Lambert are listed. Adam Lambert is capable of singing multiple music genres, including Opera, hold his notes for 21seconds or more and his range is from the lowest to the highest note of a guitar.
He's "theatrical", but so was Freddie lmao.
N gay HAAAY😜
@@gamezlee5180 ??????????????????
Yes!!! Freddie was theatrical too!!!! Exactly.
@@mankivenon7261 Adam is actually gay and Freddie was bisexual (closeted)
And…Queen
Well now he is the lead singer for queen so I'd say he went places
Sexual Potahoe he is not the lead singer... he is just a feature....
@@trueaudioproductions2too301 Yeah the current tour is titled Queen + Adam Lambert.
Frontman for QUEEN for over 10years.
I don’t think Adam would even appreciate being called the frontman or lead singer, let alone seeing himself as such! And we can most-likely believe that none of the surviving members of Queen could ever imagine possibly replacing Freddie, either in their minds or for real. It’s a non-issue because he’s irreplaceable. I think they heard Adam sing, and saw him with his clear passion for their music, plus a similarly “fabulous” personality as Freddie-albeit coming from a bit more stable of a person (no offense to Freddie; it is what it is)-and they WANTED to work w him. Key word-work. Not use him to be the lead singer or frontman. He’s a SINGER… the singer of a band generally stands at the FRONT. Doesn’t mean they’re the frontman. Positioning is just stage presence. Nothing more - nothing less.
Also, a “band” is a group-effort to create a single sound, not a leader, conductor or frontman directing everyone else. Unless your name is Beyoncé… and the group was Destiny’s Child. And you were the “child of destiny.” Hahaha. Jk.
A band works as a complete unit. “Lead vocalists” are really just “vocalists”, and their voice is yet another instrument in the entirety of the sound of the group…
Sir Brian May received over half a million calls, texts and a clip of this audition for his solo career and it's also highlighted on QUEEN and Adam Lambert's The Show Must Go On NETFLIX movie.
they stopped him way too soon
Stephanie Rivera it's funny seeing this and how the voice does. It's like 10 seconds here and on the voice they give them 2 minutes.
Stephanie Rivera exactly
Stephanie Rivera lol
Hey hookers what year was this?
Stephanie Rivera I agree
This is so weird... This was maybe 10% of what he can do...
5%
40%
1%
b3rs and look at the hate comments thinking this is all he can do without actually seeing him sing live with Queen on tour.?
100%.
"Don't be scurred"
"I'm not scurred!"
EMILY THEHONEYBADGER lmfaooo i bursted our laughing
Literally gave me chills all over again.
I live in the UK and never watched 'American Idol' when it was shown on TV here. It never interested me. But one Saturday afternoon I was flicking through channels and happened to come across this guy auditioning. I was blown away and ended up watching the rest of the series just to hear him. He is amazing. Soo glad to see he's now touring with Queen and made it in the music business. With a voice like that, it's hard not to see how
he took a great song and turned it into pop. he will never be as good as queen and never measure up to Freddie.
Sian Edwards Brian and Roger call him a gift from god, but you're certainly entitled to your opinion.
Sian Edwards
EXACTLY RIGHT! I'm pissed at Queen for defiling Freddie's legacy!
Mario John You can be pissed as much as you like, nothing will change and there are a great many fans who are enjoying this union. Freddie's legacy is intact. Shame on you for thinking anyone can destroy that.
Oh, grow up!
is being "theatrical" a bad thing ?? he was on Broadway tho
Yes, if its too flamboyant. Thats why Kara said, yes he is theatrical BUT...
+bellmeisterful STFU
He actually has a point. He's talked before about how the show knew he was gay but told him to basically "man up" and keep his sexuality to himself
+indo mamoro hey uh Indo..theres a couple more people you need to tell to stfu. Youre just a non thinker, you think Im being anti gay or anti Adam byt Im not. Too flamboyant and theatrical doesnt make for great solo performances. George Michael wasnt. And ge was caught givin handys in seedy public bathrooms in NY. lol
+Richard Inman not necessarily true, some of the greatest most memorable musicians/performers of all time did very theatrical performances such as, David Bowie, Freddie Mercury, Cher, Madonna, the list goes on & on & on
5 years ago! I'm so proud of you Adam! :)
I just watched him live singing this song.
lol me too, he ain't no freddie though
Baby Cream how the fuck he could be Freddie?? Dude he is dead! That's it. Face it! I love Freddie too but that guy can't come back to sing you Bohemian Rhapsody
Dave 333 Are you serious?
See Gee En I saw him sing it in June in Vegas. Absolutely incredible!!
See Gee En same
4 years ago Adam sang Queen's Bohemian Rhapsody in the audition of the American Idol; time passing, in 2013 he went touring with Queen, singing the same song - Bohemian Rhapsody in the iHeartRadio Festival.
it touched me a a lot, and Adam truely made it.
I saw him basically star in the Queen concert last year and I can honestly say that I am so happy to see how far he has come in his career. He was reallllllly good btw and this is just such a refreshing video to see
why is everyone dissing this guy? It takes courage to get up on stage, in front of the camera crews and four big celebrities and sing. So what if he picked the song queen, he liked the song, they liked the song. And its not like he couldn't match the pitch or screwed up the lyrics. Plus he has confidence, a down to earth attitude and quite polite imo. I don't see how you could hate any of that.
Haters gonna Hate
it's because he's touring with brian may and roger taylor for over a year, and people are jealous.
I totally agree with you, he ended up making his own way anyway and I like most of his songs even without seeing him on this show
I think I can tell you. One sad day, Freddie Mercury died. He was a music legend. And like every music legends, people tend to build him up in their heads, even inconsciously, and are lead to believe that he was actually far, far better than he was, to a point that it is impossible to even compare. Was Freddie Mercury a great singer ? Yes, and maybe one of the best. But he wasn't as inhumanly good as some people hold him in their thoughts.
Then one day the band Queen decides that, since it's kind of a fashion trend (let's be honnest), they should meet and tour once more, because why not ? It wasn't Freddie Mercury's band, it was theirs as well. So they try to find a good singer, who can at least sing in the range of Mercury. Luckily, there is this man, Adam Lambert, who was noticed for his tastes in rock in a show that brought him quite a lot of fans already. The perfect candidate. But then, two things happen. First of all, as I said, people got so high up their horses about Mercury that they cannot stand anyone taking his place ; in addition, this band plays rock, and let's say that rock fans have a tendency to be really not thrilled about the giant manufactures that are these Idol shows - rightfully so most of time -. And it doesn't matter if Queen wasn't the most hardcore rock band ever and was totally fan with selling out even when Mercury was alive : they're legendary, rock fans cannot stand someone tackling their legends.
So there you have it : a perfect replacement for Freddie Mercury in many accounts, he is a rock fan, is in touch with the pop world and the charts - or was let's be honnest again -, and has the vocal range to do a decent job, and the stage presence. But because he comes from American Idols and he is tackling a legend, rock fans will HATE HIM. His case is not uncommon : Arnel Pineda taking over as the lead singer in Journey, and being by far the best singer they had since Steve Perry, also started a lot of hate. And let's not talk about Ian Astbury, who was a singer in The Cult since 1983, playing with the Doors, under a different name for copyright issues (The Doors of the 21st Century, who had the three musicans playing with Jim Morrison in the Doors but still couldn't name their band the Doors, that's how the rock world is conservative about their legends), and got shit thrown at him ever since.
Here you go, this is, I believe, the reason why people hate Adam Lambert. Because they cannot let go of their legends, mostly because they are nostalgic of a time when rock bands were the shit, topping the charts and all. Also notice one last thing : all of these peoples I quoted are singers. Switch Brian May for Steve Morse in Queen and you'll see that most people won't care.
Zenbateau my question was rhetorical but regardless I totally understand, agree with and support everything you said. just awesome, couldn't have said it better.
he's so gorgeous 😍
who's watching in 2016?
Paula: He's been in the cast of wicked.
*Adam sings*
Simon: You're a little theatrical.
me:.........-___-
Cierra Johnson he probably didn’t know what wicked was 😂
Cierra Johnson I was thinking "yeah no shit scherlock"
2018
Lol well he is a stage actor (or was). I suppose he just wanted to criticize him for anything
Cierra Johnson well no shit Simon XD
"Is Adam Lambert the next up and coming?" boy you have no Idea!
Ahh it's so adorable to watch people who made it big take their first steps :3
Class act. Still loving him in 2018.
he's the best person that's ever came threw the American idol doors no one ever compare to Adam Lambert
+Just Satya He used to live in a squalid apartment his dad nicknamed as 'roach motel'. No record company wanted to sign him because he's gay. Idol was his last straw. He actually auditioned for Glee but got turned down. He also auditioned for We Will Rock You the musical but got turned down. After Idol, Glee's producer invited him back to star in a few episodes and Brian May screwed his casting director for turning Adam down. Now, Adam did not get a part in the tribute band but he is wanted as the frontman of Queen instead, and QAL are selling out arenas/stadiums going on a neverending tour due to demand. Adam is a real rags to riches story.
pinkmilkyway milk he was on glee tho
This happened exactly 5 years ago!
AHHHH! It doesn't seem that long! I voted for you everytime, I had no douts that you were going to be in the top two. Too bad you didn't win, but still you got far in your career! I'm trying to get my parents to put me on American idol, and if they do I am going to sing whatayah want from me, or never close our eyes. I would sing better than I know myself, but I can't go that high. Thank you for being on American idol, and becoming who you are today and influencing me in your songs to keep trying and to never give up on my dreams. After all, yours did come true. Thank you!! :D
rhianyn campbell I hope you know that's not really Adam Lambert..
I never liked you cuz you looked all emo and shite back then. but you sang a fav. song of mine and your personality is awesome. good job!
SimsSeriesMaster I hope you know that yes it is
rippez1 Don't be stupid. Why would the real Adam Lambert name his account 'Adam Lambert Hungary'?
He's so precious. What an inspiration. ❤️
Is that Anthony from Smosh?
OH MY GOD
No but looks like fetus Anthony 😂
Egbngnygyyyy790p
Kai yy888iitit87
😂 emo hair
Nah it's that emo boy who sang the beautiful people lol
I always found it awkward when they didn't have music in the background. like, the silence is intimidating
Me too
True, but it's a good test of how talented the singers are. Maintaining pitch without any backing track/band is not easy to do unless you have a good ear.
6 years later, he would be lead singer for Queen. Talk about making your dreams come true!
Isnt he the new lead singer for queen ?
Lili Star yeah
So... are they supposed to make a conclusion out of 10 seconds of singing?
its not hard to know if someone is a good singer if you know what to listen for
Frederik Wit you can tell where a song is going by hearing the beginning, which is why when you audition you aim to be just as good at the beginning as the end
actually the audition was longer ( he first sung a Michael Jackson song and than after that this song) but for TV you have to edit&shorten what they show
If they show enough you can tell. And Adam did show talent within 10 seconds. You just have to pick the right song and the right part to the song
Have you not seen The Voice? You get judges who hit the button after listening to a single word being sang. They're professionals, they may not always be right but they know a talented singer when they hear one.
Queen have enough faith in Adam to tour with him. He does a great job.
OMG y'all... I listened to Adam for as long as I can remember. His music brings back so many memories and he never fails to put a smile on my face and I owe him everything for improving my life and boosting my happiness and confidence. I really really REALLY REALLY love him, to the moon and much much farther. :)
He has come a VERY long way since then. He has such control over his voice now, he's really grown as a performer. Super cool to watch him develop.
He seems like a great guy, and he's a great singer. I don't see why many people don't like him and I must say I no longer care; my opinion has been formed.
thank you; i needed to scroll down for a positive
Because he can't sing the song properly.
it's his hair
I watched him for awhile, and think I see "both sides". I too like him, a lot. But then he did two things--not a big deal to you or me--but things that alienated a LOT of people. First, he was a shoe in to win the season, but then on "country night" He ridiculed country music, so he lost a lot of base (he did, whether you like country or not). So stupid of him, he could have picked a classic country song, sang it in a non country way, and it would have bee great, but no. Next, when he came out as gay, (most of us thought "do what?") BUT THEN, he gave a concert where he really put it in our faces, doing all kinds of pretty lewd things, it was liked "OK, your gay, but even if you are straight, don't go out there and simulate oral sex, you low class heathen". Honestly, that did away with "liking him" for many people, so there is no mystery at all. Yes, some would have never liked the Gay guy, but there were a lot people like me, who liked and still like, but not as much after that crap
Jmichael Isbell I was never a fan o American or any other Idol, I don't like that instant star n' shit(i'm old school kind of guy when it comes to music, you know play in garage , write your own album n' shit).I first heard of Lambert when he joined Queen( he and that guy Martell i think were competeing for the spot and i liked the Martell more because he was indetical to Freddie's vocals and Lambert was exactly what Simon Cowell said , he read my mind , too theatrical , and for me too much improvisation ) and i was mad , i didn't like this guy from the start and i sayd instantly this guy is a gay you can se from mile far, and i found out officially just now from you. It's not that he needed to say that , it's like Jim Carey admits that he 's a comedian. I got nothing against gay population, i'm not homophobic n' shit but he is so much into it that it knows to be anoying....Freddie was gay but he weared it with so much more style, i don't have to say that i consider him singing i Queen a blasphemy, thats my opinion....and by the way thanks for the info, you seem like a cool dude...no offense if i said something wrong.
Imagine telling Adam after this that not only will you reach the finale of Idol, but the song you're singing? You're going to be their lead singer and tour with them. Crazy to look back now
"He's the best we've seen, in all the cities." Ha, he's the best they've seen ever!
He has such a good attitude ❤ such a sweet guy
Adam was probably the best singer ever on American Idol.
I saw him live this week with Queen in front of me and other 60,000 people. I'm so proud of him ❤
...and as they say the rest is history! Love you, Adam.
He is so adorable
"Did you have a crush on her?" Well. I don't think so.
then perish 😂
This. Lol
He did when he was 15years old as a singer and dancer.
Legendary audition. Five years later, the full circle is completed: Adam Lambert and Queen hit the road in 19 cities of North America. Love you, Adam!
I'll never forget this - one of my fave moments on TV. So glad this show made the work aware of this fabulous talent.
He was so polite!
Adam is a gift to the world and the greatest voice and frontman of his generation. The only one worthy of stepping in for Freddie.
a good singer? are they crazy? He is more than good. He is stellar.
Have always loved Adam Lambert from the first moment .... Wonderful vocalist ... and showman
fast forward 5 or 6 years and he goes on tour with queen. crazy shit man
You know what makes this simple audition to touring with queen and be a judge in X factor and American idol and sold millions of albums? True talent dear TRUE TALENT
This guy is amazing, he came to Brazil 3 months ago and everybody fell in love with him! Great singer!
Been a fan of Adam Lambert for the past 6 years. I LOVE HIM
never heard of this guy till I saw him performing with queen last night, love him, he's got a great voice
Finally, He is making history with ‘Queen’
It's funny how Adam only got to sing 20 secs then immediately they're all like "omq dis guy ez gud. 15/10 wud lissen agen".
They edit auditions only showing the parts they want. He actually also sang a Michael Jackson song first.
slynnc kitty
Zach Scott Yea except they know how to talk right
Sir_Mercury I was talking stupid on purpose, and how can someone not know how to talk right? You must mean they have bad grammar, or speak English improperly. By the way, "Yea" is spelled "Yeah". Also, you forgot a comma right after "Yeah", and you forgot to put a period at the end of your statement.
Don't go saying stuff that you can't do yourself, bud.
Zach Scott You realize I was joking too asswipe? Don't go around correcting people thinking you're a fucking big shot, kid.
It's amazing how I have loved him since the beginning and look where he is now he's just amazing 😍

Adam Lambert so criminally underrated 😢
To all the trolls with your insulting messages - you are pathetic. Adam's private life is none of your concern. His truly superb voice has brought him global stardom, a solo career, plus he has been chosen by Dr Brian and Roger Taylor to be front man of Queen, to global acclaim. What have you hate - filled trolls achieved?
It's just amazing how he was so excited, yet he had no idea. No idea at all that he would make it to second place on the show and first place in my heart.
Its a shame he got outted as gay and it caused him first place
AIS8 was rigged by homophobes.
Just simply amazing to see and hear Brian and Roger. Queen will always be Queen, and Adam will always be Adam lambert,hence the Title Queen and Adam lambert. Never in a million years will there ever be another Freddie and never in a million years will anyone ever replace him, but if it means someone stepping in and singing for him just so we can still have Brian and Roger playing live then so be it. LONG LIVE QUEEN
omg, watching baby adam, making me tear up 😭😭😭😭 our precious baby all grown up
And look at him now. Singing that song with Queen. I'm so proud of him!
...And He now lead sings for one of the greatest band in Rock history. Freddie Mercury is my idol and one of the greatest voices of all, and I'm sure He would approved Adam as lead singer of the band if He was still alive and unable to perform. He's got stage presence, voice and charisma...That's why Brian & Roger brought him on board.
He was singing in audition Queen's Bohemian Rhapsody and now he sings with Queen live !!
Adam is AMAZING!!!!
I get that everyone thinks "only Freddie can sing this", but c'mon! Do you really want no one to ever hear this masterpiece of a song ever again? At least "let" some one talented sing it so the next generations can enjoy! ❤️ ❤️ ❤️
and look at him now!! good on you Adam a real talent found
Adam Lambert é um fantástico showman! Voz maravilhosa!!Grande show no Rock in Rio 2015! Um dos melhores shows do Queen!Nesse show no Rock in Rio arrebentou!Maravilhoso vocalista!
What's funny is that he didn't win, but he's more famous than the guy that did win
Christopher Tradeshow:Exactly! :)
Who did win that season? 🤔
@@MissMausoleum i know he did a really good arrangement of a kanye song, it was stellar, but besides him being in a streak of wgwg, I dont remember him.
@@MissMausoleum that person is forgotten.
@@MissMausoleum Kris Allen (I believe I spelled that correctly sry if I didn't)
This audition happened in June 2008. Six and a half years later, Adam's performance of Queen songs, including BoRap, with Queen is garnering reviews like this: "It was Lambert's own virtual duet with Mercury on Bohemian Rhapsody that truly showed how well his vocals compete with the great man himself. The 32-year-old's talent is staggering, with a range, clarity and tone that make him one of the world's great vocalists." Review by Catherine Gee of Queen + Adam Lambert concert at the O2, London on Jan. 17, 2015, published in The Telegraph Jan 18, 2015.
The best of all time... and he didn't win.
he did win. no matter what the referee said.. adam lambert wrecked this entire season (:
he was also more successful then the winner lol
Still didn't win.
+EXEJON No he didn't , but if he had won and had been tied into a contract and everything else that comes along with winning American Idol, he wouldn't have done everything he's done. I still think the reason why he didn't win was because the people running the show knew he was gay and they didn't think that that would play to every audience. However I've always thought that American Idol was rigged. The only doubt in my mind about American Idol being rigged was the fact that David Cook won. but then again Chris Daughtry didn't win either. You go and watch the results when he got voted off and the surprise is all over everyone's face. His, the judges, Ryan Seacrest, the person who got to stay, and the audience.
Erica Beumel Not saying it means anything that he didn't win. Look at Daughtry. I believe he was the 4th runner up and went miles beyond the competition. American Idol is good for bringing attention to talent and if it is indeed rigged, then they are horrible at ranking said talent.
+Sandy Why didn't he win?
A week before the finale, Bill O'Reilly showed a pic of Adam kissing his ex and called it 'disgusting' and then religious leaders warned their members to not vote for Adam because they can't let a homosexual 'win' so they swayed the votes towards Kris even though they were not his fans. Also, church leader Gokey's fans (he lost at Top 3) also swayed their votes towards Kris because Kris was a Christian/conservative. Homophobia caused Adam's lost. Brian May from Queen knows about the anti-gay lobby and he denounced it in one of his interviews.
Also, there was an AT&T power texting conspiracy in Arkansas - population of 2.8 million managed to generate 38 million votes for Kris (google for all these if you are interested to find out more).
Him not winning was the biggest upset in Idol history. He was unjustly robbed of the title. The day he lost was the day I stopped watching Idol. One, what is the point of voting when the best can't win. Two, there will NEVER be another contestant who can top Adam.
The ironic thing is religious people taught us to hate but this gay man teaches us to love.
That is so stupid! I'm Christian and I would never not vote for him because of his sexual preference. He is talented and I'm glad that he is successful today
the main reason why I don't watch the x factor or the voice or american idol is this!!! every show is fake! Generally winning a competition like this doesn't necessarily mean that you are going to have a successful career! ! and of course being excuded from a competition like this doesn't mean that you have failed and you cannot have a successful career! so don't bother!! its all fake!
I'm glad Adam didn't win! It's disgusting that "religious leaders" would do that when they're only job is to teach fellow to LOVE each other. But with that said if Adam would of won he would of been tied down by that one contract. Also look at everyone who won. A lot are popular for a year or two and then they kind of dissapear. But look at Adam for example I believe he came in second and he is still around.
You are fantastic i watched you becoming a big star ! ❤
look at him now .... he is beyond Idol, he is QUEEN

He looked like he was about to pick his nose.
You know who knew and loved Freddie more than any of you so called Queen fans? Do you know who is more invested in Queen's music, name, and legacy than any of you? The actual members of Queen; Brian May and Roger Taylor. They love Adam and respect his vocal and performance ability enough to invite him to tour and sing these treasured songs. How about you guys show a little respect for their opinion? I think after all of their success, they know what they are doing.
Abraços do Brasil, seu show foi demais, esperamos a volta do Queen e você representando o Freddie com orgulho! Grande show o de vocês! O Brasil ama vocês!
For those who don't like him, what do you want from him? XD
Malikai Lopez OH I SEE WHAT YOU DID THERE.

Malikai Lopez I want him to leave Queen and stop acting like a douche

its funny because now he performs with Queen. Saw him live, he's really holding up! love it :D
And he deserves it all 😊❤
+Hope O'Connor Heard he is rolling with the Stones now...(sorry i will leave now)
+Harris Khan That was great.
Theatrical? Yes. Freddie was theatrical too. And now he's the front man of Queen. Simply he won and keeps winning.
Freddie would be proud...
dat calculation tho nope
Doubt that
Yes.
Been singing with QUEEN yearly since 2011.
QUEEN members said so. Videos exists.
who knew many years later he would be giving concerts with queen.
Just saw Adam lambert+Queen last week IT WAS AMAZING
All that doubt from Simon, yet this was the guy chosen by rock royalty to succeed - not replace - the greatest frontman in history.
No, he's no Freddie Mercury (nobody is or ever will be) but I saw him with Queen twice in a week and both gigs were mind-blowing. Adam has a terrific voice and does a damn good job fronting the greatest band ever, in this modern era without their main man. If you wait for dear old Freddie to come back to tour with Queen then unfortunately you're going to be waiting a long time. This is the next best thing and gives those of us who were only young when Mercury died a chance to see Queen play some of the greatest songs ever written.
I can only back you up on this one. I've always loved Queen and their songs, and Freddie did a great job! Sadly, he isn't amongst us today; but both Brian May and Roger Taylor has acknowledged Adam's talents, and ask him, themselves, if he wanted to play gigs with them and honor Freddie, one of Adam's own idols. It wasn't because he kept phoning them down and pleading them to take him; but simply because they saw some potential in him that they knew Freddie would've appreciated and vouched for. So props to Adam for getting the chance to preform with one of the greatest bands on Earth.
To his credit, Simon gave the greatest credit he's ever given an Idol contestant ever to Adam Lambert, after his performance of "Mad World" he simply stood up and gave him a standing ovation...
Simon didn't say anything but "he's theatrical." Then he got interrupted and she jumped down his throat. Gee wiz Fox Network, drama much? But knowing Simon, he was probably about to say something douchy. But seriously that chick...interrupts him, then says its like pulling teeth. She was the most annoying part of the audition. Also, I love me some Adam Lambert!
I remember watching this when it first came out and I was so young! Remember thinking specifically he is amazing! And the anger when he lost in the final! Really opened my eyes
