The Kennedy Center Honors, named for president John F Kennedy is an annual honor given to those in the performing arts for their lifetime of contributions to american culture. Cher was being honored in 2019 and Adam was asked to perform for her. It was magnificent!! Made Cher cry and she tweeted about it for weeks after. Reba and a few others were being honored that year and each had performers sing for them.
When Adam joins the stage you know it's about to change history. His voice is incredible.Totally changed arrangement & killed it. I would listen to him sing the phone book.
I've watched this video over & over! Just can't get enough of everything Adam can do. His voice does it all! I also appreciate an artist who makes a point to breathe loudly into the mic! Let's you know the mic is live & the artist isnt just lip syncing to a recording. Adam also did the main song for the movie 2012 with Nicolas Cage. The song is called "Time for Miracles". Another beautiful ballad by Adam.
He hands down should have won American Idol! All of his performances were great and he changed them up and made them his own....all are worth watching 👍🤗
@Don Williams yeah....it jus sux knowing that besides Kelly & Carrie he was one of the best to compete and not win....LOL I cant even tell you who he lost to because in my 👀s he won.
@@kateandgeraldsmith2711 OMG...Yes. That was probably the 1st heartbreaker 😭😭😭 I think I mentally blocked that out. Daughtry is my all time fave that didn't win. Good 4 both those guys!!
He might not have won Idol but he got a much better gig. I don't know of anyone who could be the front man for Queen and do it justice besides Adam. I think Freddie would approve.
Our boy Adam, took a up beat song like Believe and turn it into a slowed down ballad with a beautiful arrangement and made you listen to the raw emotion of these lyrics, I get goosebumps listening to this performance! Adam got a standing ovation by doing Cher’s song justice! I click anytime I see Adam Lambert he’s amazing!
His version is just amazing. Loved the slow down of this song. He's also the front man with Queen on tour!! Another good one from him..."What do you want from me"
SAME I was shocked and cried when he lost but knew he would be moving on to greater things one day... and legit cried again when I found out he was singing for Queen now 😭❤
This man right here... I have no words!!! I have loved him since the first word came out of his mouth on American Idol!!!! And to see Cher so proud of Adams cover of her song must have been been an amazing feeling, he brought her to tears!!!
The Kennedy Honors have some of the best covers you'll ever. Kelly Clarkston doing Fancy, Heart doing Stairway to Heaven, Adam and Believe. So many excellent performances.
I became an Adam Lambert fan the day i heard his cover of black or white by MJ. And then his cover of The Tracks of my Tears cover by the great Smokey Robinson.... Adam is an amazing, super talented performer.
Billy, your face when Adam put the STANK on this song was PRICELESS! 😆 I do have another Adam Lambert reaction request if you'd be so kind. His cover of George Michael's One More Try. Thanks! Love ya dude! 💋
@Billyyousocrazy The Kennedy Center Honors is an annual honor given to those in the performing arts for their lifetime of contributions to American culture.
Thank you great reaction to our Adam request another song Queen/Adam Love Kills at the forum Los Angeles it was written by Freddie and one you probably have never heard FANTASTIC
I love Adam Lambert ❤ I think his voice is amazing. Listen to Whatdoya want from Me, or, If I Had You. I'd actually love to see you react to that last one. HE MADE CHER CRY! OMG!
Your right that song by Cher was a upbeat song, Adam took it and stripped it down to a ballot with a beautiful full orchestra with a beautiful arrangement! He makes you really listen to the emotional meaning of the lyrics and what Adam does beautifully in this song is he just slowly builds the song all the way thru! I love ❤️ Adam’s version of this the best! You should react to a younger version of Adam doing Dust In The Wind and also there is a fantastic duet he does with Leona Lewis on a song called Girl Crush if you love his Believe than you’ll love these two song! Look forward to anything you do with Adam Lambert, thanks! Kennedy Honor’s is the annual honor given to the performing arts 🎭 for there lifetime of contributions to American culture!
Yayyy! Thanks @billyyousocrazy!!! I love that Adam could take a pop song and make it a ballad - and made Cher cry(and she was first to her feet for the standing ovation!) Thanks for all you do! Hope to see a live stream soon! #socrazyfam
And Cyndi Lauper performed "Turn Back Time". What I loved is when Cyndi came on stage, Cher yelled, "You said you were going to be in Los Angeles!" and Cyndi answered, "I lied." LOL. Perfect.
The Kennedy Center Honors is my favorite time of year! It honors those in all aspects of the entertainment industry from news to big and small screen to music to theater. It’s once of the greatest honors an entertainer could get. Norman Lear’s was amazing and made me cry. The Who’s was SPECTACULAR!!! It’s awesome and there are so many to look at and see the contributions of the honorees to the entertainment industry.
Please, please, please! Check out Adam Lambert singing "Who Wants To Live Forever' with Queen, any one of the live performances. Isle of Wight was a good one. You won't be the same after that. ✌️
Love that you did this as I’ve grown to love this performance. Now you have to do Kelly Clarkson’s “Fancy” to Reba on the same time. Kelly’s speech is so cute and humble and she kills it! If you love Melissa you need to check our Reba’s show Reba as they were a great duo and became real life friends. Plus the bloopers are funny as Reba came from a rodeo and singing background and had figure out acting and remembering lines (they often had her lines writen Around the set).
Well this song was always meant to be a bit more emotinal een though the track we all kno is so upbeat; she had written this song, in memory of Sonny Bono. Adam absolutely blew this performance out of the water, and Cher was- as you could see- in tears.
Ella Henderson was a contestant on UK Xfactor years ago. She sang a version of this that kind of started the whole "slowed-down" style for this song. Her performance is 100% worth checking out.
Reba was an Honoree as well. Check put Kelly Clarkson singing Fancy. She was a nervous wreck, Reba is her Mother In Law and Kelly had never performed the song. It was amazing!
Hey billy its me again, love Adam Lambert...and I love your channel...and I'm posting again in hopes you react to Ray Stevens "Ain't sitting up with the dwad no more."
I have searched and not found where anyone has reacted to Adam singing "Time for Miracles" please react to it, it is timely with our streets in chaos our country in a world of hurt and that useless person sitting on his devisive a** in DC. arghhhh please we need it
Enjoying your content!! If you want to hear some impressive vocals, you should check out Josh Weathers' live performance of Whitney Houston's version of "I Will Always Love You". He's amazing!!
I think everyone knows Cher's version and enjoys it, but when Adam did this version, he made it more than a club anthem. It became a ballad about realizing self worth. His version SLAYS me.
Fun fact: This song, Believe, was the very first song to use autotune in 1998... The original singer is the woman, the myth, the legend, the Queen herself: Cher.
When you play a cover that makes the original singer cry...

Made me cry too. That was such a powerful rendition.
In 2018...
When Adam joins the stage you know it's about to change history. His voice is incredible.Totally changed arrangement & killed it. I would listen to him sing the phone book.
This proves Adam can do anything. He can take a disco song and turn it into a ballad. He did this song as a ballad on pledge week of American Idol.
Karen Castelli Cher’s version came out about 20 years after the death of disco
you know you were amazing when the original singer is brought to tears by your performance.
I've watched this video over & over! Just can't get enough of everything Adam can do. His voice does it all! I also appreciate an artist who makes a point to breathe loudly into the mic! Let's you know the mic is live & the artist isnt just lip syncing to a recording.
Adam also did the main song for the movie 2012 with Nicolas Cage. The song is called "Time for Miracles". Another beautiful ballad by Adam.
Love Adam, so glad he found life with Queen!!
His voice is simply enchanting. Also love his cover of Mad world for the Global Citizen - together at home. Truly a talented artist.
He hands down should have won American Idol! All of his performances were great and he changed them up and made them his own....all are worth watching 👍🤗
I find it funny - I bet Simon feels like crap now -- you send Adam home and now he's crushing it as the lead singer in Queen!
@Don Williams yeah....it jus sux knowing that besides Kelly & Carrie he was one of the best to compete and not win....LOL I cant even tell you who he lost to because in my 👀s he won.
@@trinitys7434 YES!!! Don't forget about Chris Daughtry coming in 3rd also!!!
@@kateandgeraldsmith2711 OMG...Yes. That was probably the 1st heartbreaker 😭😭😭 I think I mentally blocked that out. Daughtry is my all time fave that didn't win. Good 4 both those guys!!
He might not have won Idol but he got a much better gig. I don't know of anyone who could be the front man for Queen and do it justice besides Adam. I think Freddie would approve.
Adam Lambert is a GREAT gift to any song! His voice is God's gift to us.
Our boy Adam, took a up beat song like Believe and turn it into a slowed down ballad with a beautiful arrangement and made you listen to the raw emotion of these lyrics, I get goosebumps listening to this performance! Adam got a standing ovation by doing Cher’s song justice! I click anytime I see Adam Lambert he’s amazing!
Adam killed it with this version of Believe! He is my favorite vocalist of all time so thanks for this reaction.
Superb! Its with excellent reason that Brian May calls Adam the GFG (Gift from God)!
Yes!!! He blew this song apart!
His version is just amazing. Loved the slow down of this song. He's also the front man with Queen on tour!! Another good one from him..."What do you want from me"
He is the best singer on this planet. I knew it since he was on American Idol. :)
SAME I was shocked and cried when he lost but knew he would be moving on to greater things one day... and legit cried again when I found out he was singing for Queen now 😭❤
Definitely an amazing singer but I will always say David Phelps is best Male singer
This man right here... I have no words!!! I have loved him since the first word came out of his mouth on American Idol!!!! And to see Cher so proud of Adams cover of her song must have been been an amazing feeling, he brought her to tears!!!
I agree wholeheartedly, when he took that earpiece out he knew he was in the zone.
Adam is the best!😻💜💜💜💜♾
The Kennedy Honors have some of the best covers you'll ever. Kelly Clarkston doing Fancy, Heart doing Stairway to Heaven, Adam and Believe. So many excellent performances.
I've only seen this once before today and I didn't realize he made Cher cry! That's how you know you killed it!
It’s been a year and I still can’t stop listening to it!
Me too. I think I have been through 15 reaction videos this evening and can’t get enough. Still tears and goosies.
My whole body gets covered in hives when Adam sings, he’s just so amazing!
Adam's performance gave me chills! It was beautifully done!✌❤
I became an Adam Lambert fan the day i heard his cover of black or white by MJ. And then his cover of The Tracks of my Tears cover by the great Smokey Robinson.... Adam is an amazing, super talented performer.
One of my favorite covers ever, he nails it.
I just loved Cher’s reaction to that long note and her lips trembled like she done seen a ghost... loved her reaction to that
I love this performance by Adam. I love him.
Adam is AMAZING performer and Singer..
HE IS AMAZING! Love everything he sings!
Billy, your face when Adam put the STANK on this song was PRICELESS! 😆 I do have another Adam Lambert reaction request if you'd be so kind. His cover of George Michael's One More Try. Thanks! Love ya dude! 💋
This is the most amazing version I have ever heard.
ADAM PERFECT. I LOVE!!
Glamberts United!! He has such an amazing voice!
What a beautiful rendition
@Billyyousocrazy The Kennedy Center Honors is an annual honor given to those in the performing arts for their lifetime of contributions to American culture.
I love how he impressed cher and had her in tears
To have Cher feel that and to get her to give you a standing ovation is saying you did justice to her song!!!!!!
I love how you really listen and appreciate the performance you are watching!!
He also now is the front man in Queen.
This performance and his performance with Queen of "Who Wants To Live Forever" show how Adam is worthy of holding Freddie's microphone.
I can listen to him all day
Thank you great reaction to our Adam request another song Queen/Adam Love Kills at the forum Los Angeles it was written by Freddie and one you probably have never heard FANTASTIC
This one and Kelly Clarkson covering 'Fancy' are a couple of my favorite KC honors performances ever. the goosebumps are no joke I swear
Cher's version was more upbeat and techno, but I absolutely love Adam's version. It really made you get the feels!
You HAVE to react to Closer to you! He is awesome!!
I love Adam Lambert ❤ I think his voice is amazing. Listen to Whatdoya want from Me, or, If I Had You. I'd actually love to see you react to that last one.
HE MADE CHER CRY! OMG!
This is a beautiful version. Lambert knocked this performance out of the park.
Adam is so magical 💜💜💜

That IS Adam Lambert. You should watch videos from when he was on American idol. Really great.
The two best performances that year was his and Kelly rendition of Fancy, which was mind blowing and showed how powerful her voice is.
She said "oh wow" 😂
Now, you should do Cyndi Laupers Turn Back Time. She rocked. The house.
Kennedy Center Honors are given every year for lifetime achievement in the arts and is funded by the Kennedy Family as in John F Kennedy.
Generously funded by taxpayers.
Kelly Clarkson performed Fancy at the same show, you should check it out.
Daniel Hill yaaasssss!!!!
And Cyndi Lauper performed "Turn Back Time". What I loved is when Cyndi came on stage, Cher yelled, "You said you were going to be in Los Angeles!" and Cyndi answered, "I lied." LOL. Perfect.
He made Cher cry! That’s her song- she was an honoree.
By the way you can buy this version with Adam on I-tunes, I brought it, love ❤️ Adam!
Keneddy Center honors the arts ..have this every year..this was Cher Reba and Hamilton Broadway
Like your honest reaction both ;jamal and you my favs
Him and Cyndi Lauper also did a duet for this Kennedy center. Reba and Cher and a bunch of people were inducted into the Kennedy center honors.
Adam's great
Great Reaction! You Should React To Queen+Adam Lambert In Singapore “The Show Must Go On” And Also Adam’s Cover Of “One More Try” They’re Amazing! 😉
One More Try is a tribute to George Michael - he also sang Someone to Love by Queen in honor of Freddie Mercury during that tribute.
This night was a tribute to Cher and that's why she was crying
It was a tribute yes, but what made her cry was Adam’s performance. Can’t you see that?

Please, please, please! Check out Adam Lambert singing "Who Wants To Live Forever' with Queen, any one of the live performances. Isle of Wight was a good one. You won't be the same after that. ✌️
Sooo good!!!
Oh wow, thank you for this reaction, I didn't know he could sing like that!
You should do reaction first Who Wants to Live Forever from Isle of Wight 2016 with Queen. Insane vocals.
Yes
Welcome to the world of Adam Lambert
Love that you did this as I’ve grown to love this performance. Now you have to do Kelly Clarkson’s “Fancy” to Reba on the same time. Kelly’s speech is so cute and humble and she kills it!
If you love Melissa you need to check our Reba’s show Reba as they were a great duo and became real life friends. Plus the bloopers are funny as Reba came from a rodeo and singing background and had figure out acting and remembering lines (they often had her lines writen Around the set).
He’s had a couple of good teachers
he can sing and this is a beautiful rendition!
Keep up the great work on your channel 👍 keep hustling
Great suggestion Cat!
Well this song was always meant to be a bit more emotinal een though the track we all kno is so upbeat; she had written this song, in memory of Sonny Bono. Adam absolutely blew this performance out of the water, and Cher was- as you could see- in tears.
Check out him singing, Mad World😉
Adam’s Always Amazing! 💖
Go back a few years and listen to the Dells! I think you will appreciate another voice. The Dells on SOUL! LIVE -complete performance- 1972
Ella Henderson was a contestant on UK Xfactor years ago. She sang a version of this that kind of started the whole "slowed-down" style for this song. Her performance is 100% worth checking out.
No she didn't. Please do your research first before spouting out lies.
Adam can change up any song and make it his own. Flawless
🖤🖤
Later-on in the concert CindyLopper is called-out for A little fibb........ If we could turn back time!
Reba was an Honoree as well. Check put Kelly Clarkson singing Fancy. She was a nervous wreck, Reba is her Mother In Law and Kelly had never performed the song. It was amazing!
Spider from the masked singer sang this in her third performance.
The lady from baby daddy also acted in Rebas' show called Reba that was on the CW and The WB
Reba and Melissa Peterman are also best friends in real life. They have a cute friendship
It’s the 4:44 ‘Lin Manuel Miranda gobsmacked’ moment for me
I never really watched Baby Daddy but I love Melissa Peterman on Reba. Her character Barbara Jean was a mess , just so damn funny. 😂😂
Hey billy its me again, love Adam Lambert...and I love your channel...and I'm posting again in hopes you react to Ray Stevens "Ain't sitting up with the dwad no more."
Adam loves to change the song for himself. Cher got on Twitter and told him she never heard it sung like that she loved it.
You should check out Heart's performance of Led Zeppelin's Stairway to Heaven at the Kennedy Center honors Led Zeppelin.
These Days by SafetySuit. It’s amazing
I have searched and not found where anyone has reacted to Adam singing "Time for Miracles" please react to it, it is timely with our streets in chaos our country in a world of hurt and that useless person sitting on his devisive a** in DC. arghhhh please we need it

The woman from baby daddy is also from Reba. I’m sad they weren’t sitting together honestly.
If you want a laugh watch Jon Stewart honor Bruce Springsteen at the Kennedy Center Honors. Very funny!
