Adam has been the front man for Queen for over ten years. He has put out four albums and was nominated for Grammy. Amazing musicality and a lovely range.
For 12 years, since November 2011 at the EMAs where they did a phenomenal medley where Adam just sang the roof of the place. He sang so well that you can see Brian May looking over at him with a smile on his face that said, "he's our boy, he really is it, he is our new beginning!"
They chose Adam Lambert because he was the perfect choice, and has one of the most phenomenal voices in the industry, & your reference to his feminine voice, is either his falsetto, or the fact that he has one of the most rarest of males voices, a counter tenor......check out more of work, & you will understand & appreciate his talent more.....😊
I’ve all his music and have followed him from American Idol. After he lost never watched it again they were afraid because he was gay…..most amazing vocalist he still doesn’t get the kudos he deserves!
@@babyyoda2186 you are correct in that but at when it happened it irritated the hell out of me let that little wimpy guy win. I can’t member what his name was he was forgettable. He’s amazing. He deserves all the good.
He was a contestant on American Idol and came in 2nd place after performing a song with Queen. They liked him and his voice so much that he’s been fronting the band for a decade now. Adam is a beast!
Isn't it a shame he "lost" American Idol...LOL! Last time I saw Chris Allen ( who was talented, no hate) was about a decade ago...in a car commercial. Meanwhile, the "runner-up" got asked BY Queen to be their lead singer. I wish I could lose like that.
24 hours prior to this performance he was singing in the finale of Strictly Come Dancing in THE UK!!! Flew back to Wash DC and is singing like that!! He is an astonishing vocalist.
Adam Lambert is by far one of the best singers that I have seen & heard in my 72 years! Cher said that he did this song better than she ever could when she was on Kelly Clarkson's show!! A fan of both! ❤
Yes, I loved Cher's original, but Adam knocked it out of the park for sure! Did you know that Adam is singing lead with Queen now? YES!!!! KC Honors have several artists do covers of those being honored....I'd love for you to do the entire performance of of this.
He slowed it down and showed a completely different side of this song. I mean, the original was a disco song, and for him to re imagine this song in such a beautiful, respectful way. I have never really paid attention to the words before his rendition. Cher was blown away. Adam was on Idol season 8. He was the runner up to Kris Allen....I know...who's he? Adam was the only thing memorable about that season. After idol, he went on to do his first album. Then he began touring with Queen until this day. They r on their North American leg of their 2023 tour. He does a great honor to Freddie Mercury. He also tours on his own. He recently released an album. He also returned to Idol this season as a mentor.
Exactly this arrangement and his voice changed this song into a poignant ballad. There's another reactor, Wings of Pegasus, who dissected how the performance was masterfully changed and Adam made it his own.
He was a few years after Kelly. He's been in musical theater since he was a kid. He's the first American Idol contestant to be out. Cher is a known LGBTQ+ icon. He's so great 🥰
This was an incredible performance, i think they chose Adam because 1, he is an amazing singer, and 2, because he loves Cher, and he sang that song on american Idol
Adam is an icon. He has a successful solo career and just released his 5th album recently. He will be doing some solo shows and festivals in Europe this summer and then he will be back with Queen to do a 6 week tour of the US in October and November. You should check out some of the songs he does with Queen like Who Wants to Live Forever at the Isle of Wight or The Show Must Go On. I like his songs Closer to You (live sessions) or Underneath at his Las Vegas show in 2021. He has so many great songs it's hard to choose. Adam and Cyndi Lauper did the tribute for Cher. They each sang a song and then one together. Adam recently was on a TV musical game show and had to sing The Muffin Man as Cher to her version of Believe. He was incredible and the song as has gone viral and has over 80,000 TikTok videos made to it so far. He's range is incredible. People have even thought that they autotuned him to sound like her but they didn't he's just that good.
Аdam is cool vocalist. A strong beautiful vòice, and what technique! I've been tu their show 10 tìmes in 12 ýears of collaboration with Queen. This is amaziñg!
Great, thanks! I absolutely LOVE this performance. Adam brought real emotion to this song, while the original was just a 'poppy' hit machine version. It's no wonder Cher was moved to tears.
They chose him because he’s our muffin man and no one is better than Adam love your reaction to this song beautiful and I Cher is proud of him❤️❤️👏🏻👏🏻⭐️⭐️💣💣
Adam sang this song this way on American Idol, making it his iwn version back then. It was so beautiful then that he was approached to sing it here. Love his ballsd version. And I love your reaction throughout!
Adam is one of those rare vocalist/singer that never sings a bad song. (Steve Perry, Barbara Streisand, Diana Ross, Michael Bolton-- to name just a few) Who are flawless, disciplined and a joy to listen to. Before Idol, he was doing a stage play, and quite when he made idol. He was trained early on as a kid, thanks to great and supportive parents. During idol, he would very often arrange and make a song his very own. This was when he first worked with Queen, and eventually they masked Adam to tour with them. Watch his idol video and you will see and hear why he is such a great vocalist. And human being. Paula Abdule was over the moon and gushing about him from the audition to the final day of idol. BTW, Chers version of Believe was the first time auto tune was used by a pro singer.
Did listening to the rest of the song answer your question about why they chose Adam… his range is amazing - it’s why Queen chose him to sing their songs. He’s one of the few singers alive today who can sing Freddie’s songs.. in the same key.. not too many can do so!!!
There are so many great Kennedy center honors. From the same show cyndi lauper (girls just want to have fun) sings "if i could turn back time". Of course, listen to the original if you haven't yet. Love your teactions
This song makes me cry. It is so full of passion and is a brand new song now. Cher even gave him permission to record it. I watch it over and over and never get tired of it.
Adam did a rough version of this on his American Idol season 8 Hollywood Week. That's probably why he was chosen to do this event. People afterwards kept on asking him to release it as a single, but it only hit Spotify a couple of years later.
I am totally blind and I actually thought this was a female singing this but I have to say this is the best version I’ve ever heard. He is one damn good singer and I love his version of the muffet man lol
Adam has a unique ability to change a song and make it his own while respecting the beauty in the original version. He's not Freddie but I believe Adam is who Freddie would have picked to sing his songs. On American idol he sang "Mad World" it is amazing. th-cam.com/video/4f3gK8cdE5I/w-d-xo.html
I love your shout out to Reba! Adam was on season 8 of American Idol and was runner up (2nd place). Even if it is on your own time watch his performances on AI. He is an artist in his own right. Talent has no bias. That is why music unites us! Love your reactions and channel! Great reaction young man! Appreciate you! Love from a fellow Texan🤠🤠🤠
Kelly Clarkson is the "World Famous Original Idol" (tm TelevisionWithoutPity... I so miss that website). She won Season 1. Adam Lambert came in second in Season 8. He tours with Queen these days, doing a pretty good job of filling Freddy Mercury's shoes... or at least as best as anyone could.
Season 8 2009 came 2nd. Phenomenal voice can sing anything.Lots of fantastic songs on his own soaked feel something time for miracles Ghost town could go on really. Queenx Adam Isle of Wight Festival 2016 Who Wants to live Forever just stunning. Totally stripped this song right back great arrangement. Great reaction thank you Seeiing Adam in 🇬🇧 in June saw him February in 🇬🇧 just amazing live.
As far as I’m concerned Adam can sing whatever he wants, he’s so incredibly talented he has so much control over his vocal ability it’s just ridiculous what he does! Love ❤️ him! Adam was on season 8, a guy named Kris Allen won but who knows anything about him today! Nice guy and a good voice but he’s no Adam Lambert! Adam is known by many and sings for Queen, Adam was the true winner in my eyes
Best part of Chers KCHonors presentation, other than the music that is, is when Cyndi Lauper came on stage and the quick and short banter between the two.
He became second in Idol because he is gay - - and that was his luck - - then he was free to pursue his own carrier - and perform with Queen who was performing 'We are the champions' with the finalists. They instantly 'clicked' - and have been touring for more than 12 years now - coming to North America this fall - - but all tickets sold out in a few hours - also to additional concerts.
I agree. Sure I Love that Kelly is our 1st. But. She did have to do a lot of things that were in her contract just because she won. Runners up have more freedom. And! Just Look where he's at now!! Not too shabby! Lol
Adam was on American Idol, but not with kelly clarkson, he didn't win on american idol (but he should have). Now he's the front man for Queen ever since american idol, he also has alot of Solo stuff that is amazing as well , check him out more.♥
My guess why they chose Adam is because she is a gay icon and he is literally the best singer. My daughter thought Listening to a a soulful knack woman when I was listening to him sing Closer to me. 😂
Queen and Adam Lambert “Who Wants to Live Forever” performed at the Isle of Wight is phenomenal
YES ! ! PLEASE DO THIS ONE ! !
Yes!❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Yes !
Amazing performance
Yes
Adam has been the front man for Queen for over ten years. He has put out four albums and was nominated for Grammy. Amazing musicality and a lovely range.

He is the greatest male vocalist around right now. Just amazing
I’ve all his music and have followed him from American Idol. After he lost never watched it again they were afraid because he was gay…..most amazing vocalist he still doesn’t get the kudos he deserves!
He didn't need to win Idol. He brings joy to the world.💜💜💜
@@babyyoda2186 you are correct in that but at when it happened it irritated the hell out of me let that little wimpy guy win. I can’t member what his name was he was forgettable. He’s amazing. He deserves all the good.
This dude got a throat of steel and 4 pair of lungs 🫁
Hands down the best voice of this generation!!
He can make his voice do it all
They chose Adam for this because he is one of the finest, most incredible vocalists of this generations. Btw, Adam is a tenor.
Adam has a huge vocal range and is an outstanding singer.
Adam is the best singer of the world, that is why he is the frontman of Queen.
Adam is a Tenor who has amazing control over his vocals. He can hit the high notes without breaking a sweat, he's a master of his craft.
Adam Lambert is a phenomenal vocalist. So much charisma and stage presence too. He’s awesome fronting Queen as well. There’s nothing he can’t sing.
Yes Idol...Front man for Queen now..this is the reason they chose Adam..
Now he fronts Queen +Adam Lambert , they are touring right now in U.S. he does Freddie 's songs justice.
That look on your face when Adam hit that high note is why they picked him for this song.😄
Yeah Right
And this beautiful voice LOST America's Got Talent
ADAM LAMBERT IS MAGNIFICENT ‼️‼️💯❣️❣️❣️💥💥💥
It was American Idol
@@camillep3631
You got it correct... my mistake 🤗
But Adam Lambert is still nonetheless magnificent
❣️❣️❣️💥💥💥
My favorite performance by Adam
Mine, too.
They chose Adam to sing it because he’s freaking amazing! He reimagined that song in a way that was shocking and unbelievable! Brava!
He kills it as Queen's lead singer for about a decade!
Adam has sang this song on American idol, and he's a big fan of cher. That's why they asked him to sing her song.
Literally listened to this a hundred times, stunning ❤
He was a contestant on American Idol and came in 2nd place after performing a song with Queen. They liked him and his voice so much that he’s been fronting the band for a decade now. Adam is a beast!

@@DravenGal Jennifer Hudson came in 2nd place also and look where her career has gone. Straight to an Oscar and a huge recording and TV career.
Love love Adams voice just as good Chers voice and better in a good way❤
Adam has a tremendous range and inhuman power. He's been singing with Queen for a long bit after they heard him do a Queen cover. He's an alien!
24 hours prior to this performance he was singing in the finale of Strictly Come Dancing in THE UK!!! Flew back to Wash DC and is singing like that!! He is an astonishing vocalist.
This was a virtuoso performance, and beautifully emotive.
Great rendition by Adam Lambert . He is 🔥❤️
There's a video compilation on youtube of ALL his Amer Idol performances and it's FREAKING AWESOME!!!!!
Adam Lambert is by far one of the best singers that I have seen & heard in my 72 years! Cher said that he did this song better than she ever could when she was on Kelly Clarkson's show!! A fan of both! ❤
Beautiful voice and perfect for Queen
He is so versatile
Great cover. Adam is a fantastic vocalist.
Yes, I loved Cher's original, but Adam knocked it out of the park for sure! Did you know that Adam is singing lead with Queen now? YES!!!! KC Honors have several artists do covers of those being honored....I'd love for you to do the entire performance of of this.
Oh yes, more Adam please. He was on season 8 of American Idol and left that season on its head!🙃
This version of Believe was just out of this world. And to make Cher cry. Well enough said LOL
His voice is so amazing. Makes my heart skip a 💓 beat.
I love this reaction and I just love this song and I love Adam Lambert so much
Adam sang this song on American Idol. He reworked the song to show his talent. Now he sings with
Queen and on his own. He's great with Queen..
Goosies from head to toe. Makes me shiver 🥶 in all the good ways…AMAZING 😢😊
Look at Adam on American idol singing whole lot of love . Then singing tracks of my tears . He can sing anything but so underated .
He slowed it down and showed a completely different side of this song. I mean, the original was a disco song, and for him to re imagine this song in such a beautiful, respectful way. I have never really paid attention to the words before his rendition. Cher was blown away. Adam was on Idol season 8. He was the runner up to Kris Allen....I know...who's he?

I've never been a big fan of Adam but this performance may have just won me over! Props 👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏
He was a few years after Kelly. He's been in musical theater since he was a kid.
He's the first American Idol contestant to be out. Cher is a known LGBTQ+ icon.
He's so great 🥰
This was an incredible performance, i think they chose Adam because 1, he is an amazing singer, and 2, because he loves Cher, and he sang that song on american Idol

Adam was on Idol and won runner up, I believe. However, he wasn't on the 1st season where Queen 👑 Kelly won. He has a phenomenal voice.

Why did they choose Adam you ask ????
BECAUSE HE IS A SUPER STAR
🌟✨💫✨🌟💫💥🌟💫💥🌟💫⭐⭐⭐
Well his voice!!
Adam can belt!! I am down to check out more Adam.
The original single of this song was a dance bop. There's lots of percussion, but it's throughout the song. I like it so much more as a ballad.
More Adam please. You, and I, won’t be disappointed!
They chose Adam Lambert because he is a phenomenal singer!
React to Adam Lambert singing with Queen! He doesn’t disappoint!! ❤
This song makes me cry. It is so full of passion and is a brand new song now. Cher even gave him permission to record it. I watch it over and over and never get tired of it.

I love your video. I hope to see you on your next one.
Adam was runner up on season 8 of American idol. But I thought he should of won! I always loved his vocals!.
Wow
My second favorite male vocalist right after Steve Perry

Just check American Idol the Holywood part and you will find out why he sang that day at the Honors. thanks por this reaction.
They choice of Adam was made after they heard this version when he was on Idol.
Yes there is a full video of the full Kennedy center honors for cher
Adam was on American Idol but a later season.
As far as I’m concerned Adam can sing whatever he wants, he’s so incredibly talented he has so much control over his vocal ability it’s just ridiculous what he does! Love ❤️ him! Adam was on season 8, a guy named Kris Allen won but who knows anything about him today! Nice guy and a good voice but he’s no Adam Lambert!

"You told me you couldn't come!" "Well, I lied!" Lol I Love both of these 2 Great Artists!
Performers are typically very close friends of Honorees.
He became second in Idol because he is gay - - and that was his luck - - then he was free to pursue his own carrier - and perform with Queen who was performing 'We are the champions' with the finalists.

Why not Adam, the best is Adam and Cher just loved his version…❤
Queen and Adam Lambert- Isle of Wight- Who Wants to Live Forever?
Also the artist being honored is asked who they want to sing for them. This was Cher's choice.
He's a tenor - higher register and he can hit a good falsetto.
Try to find the version of “bad moon rising” where he’s wearing green. It was filmed in a bathroom at a hotel during Covid.
Adam was on American Idol, but not with kelly clarkson, he didn't win on american idol (but he should have). Now he's the front man for Queen ever since american idol, he also has alot of Solo stuff that is amazing as well , check him out more.♥
Cher sings this song with the first ever auto tune
She chose Adam
He flew from Europe and had very little time to practice plus he was sick.
l like his rendtition better than cher's and love how he took it from a autotuned dance track to a amazin power ballad and he made cher cry
You Must from this Honor! Kelly Clarkson - Fancy (for Reba)
My guess why they chose Adam is because she is a gay icon and he is literally the best singer. My daughter thought Listening to a a soulful knack woman when I was listening to him sing Closer to me. 😂
Did you see Cher crying in the audience? It was part of a tribute to her.
The cover by Adam is better than the original.
How can Adam not be on your radar, that's just odd.
