Chers version was a dance song. Adam stripped it down to make it a ballad. His voice in my opinion is one of a kind. He has the ability to emote in whatever genre he sings. Che was speechless after his performance. She gave him permission to record it for his fans!! Loved your last reaction to Adam as well. Would love to hear you react to Who wants to live forever 2016 Isle if Wight, Adam with Queen. Thanks!!
Not to bash Cher's version but this version sounds like what a person would after a heartbreaking separation from someone you thought you loved deeply.
@@CrazeeAdam first... i love cher's version... but this brings it into another dimension.. blows it out of the water.. brought me to tears while listening.
I LOVE ADAM! He is EXTREMELY TALENTED! Cher has a voice that is her own as well. Not many women in music are altos and she made it something, that speaking for myself, made me want to stretch my vocal range. Quick shout out to my chorus and vocal ensemble teacher, Ms. Melody Browning ( not her last name now, since I've been out of school for 30 yrs. ). Anyways I LOVE both artists and many more in all genres.
I mean, he tours with Queen. While nobody will ever match Freddie Mercury, the fact that the OG band members chose him to take on that role says volumes. Check out some of his performances with Queen. Adam Lambert has an amazing vocal range and ability and he does not get enough credit.
I’ve had the pleasure of seeing Queen+AL five times so far. His range is superb. @GodBear is right…he is Freddie’s spiritual successor. Each and every performance Queen includes a tribute to Freddie (usually when Brian comes out and has a little one on one with the audience). Adam gives so much credit to Freddie for paving the way for other artists and makes sure the audience knows he’s not trying to be or replace Freddie but that he hopes he’s honoring Freddie by singing his songs. 💜 👑
You NEED to watch Cher signing this song to realize the amazingly different interpretations by both. This was from the Kennedy Center annual honors, and Adam certainly honored her that night. Great choice!!
Adam Lambert is THE MOST underrated vocalist of our time, not a joke. He can sing anything. Saw him live with Queen, and he BLEW THE HOUSE DOWN, hits the most amazing notes. You should dive into his work, he's just amazing.
@@peggyp46 Well, yeah! Sorta But there is better! Like say if someone compared him to George Michael. But there will never ever be another George Michael. Not referring to Wham days, or George’s First years solo but his later years when he really came into his own. The covers he did, the change in. Venues, his song writing and of course his vocals that were , well like no other. There isn’t still and wasn’t up till his passing where anyone. Outdoor day , yeah well he sounds like GM or no one ever said GM sounds like… when he started his career. His voice just evolved to even a greater phenomenon along with his writing songs. Sorry I didn’t pay more attention to what he was doing but Wham, just was ne never my thing but did like a few songs anc sang along with them but then he went in a different direction and never knew . As they suppressed his new material on Purpose! More so here in the U.S U.K.he was number one all the time!!!
I’ll never understand why that is. I mean Queen chose him for a reason ffs. I don’t get why there is not more respect for him. But the same can be said for John Farnham (they approached him first to join Queen).. he’s not well known outside of Australia but yet one of the best male vocalists of our time.
For a total change of genre and a real example of Adam’s range and talent try Nessum Dorma done a few weeks ago in Bologna on the European run of the Rhapsody Tour. He did Puccini in Puccini’s city and SLAYS the audience. Queen+AdamLambert sold out arenas all over Europe ,the United Kingdom,and Scandinavia. It’ll knock your socks off.
I think I’ve gotten goosebumps all 1000 times I’ve listened to Adam’s version. Thanks for your review. I concur with several others about Adam’s performance of “Who Wants to Live Forever” live at the Isle of Wight Festival. Stunning!
"Gypsies, Tramp's and Thieves," is my favorite Cher song. She's something else. No one comes close to Adam's lane in music. He's unique. That range is huge and he's never shown as far as I know a weakness in the high or lower registers. An amazing gift for him and for us.
When Adam was doing the tryouts during the Hollywood week of American Idol he actually stripped this song down and performed it like this in 2009. Cher's song is more of a disco club version and used auto tune on purpose for it's sound. The song never really had any meaning to me until I heard this at The Kennedy Center Honors by Adam. It brought tears to my eyes just like it did to Cher's. I'm sure she probably listened to the words differently that night as well. The one song live that I really believe Adam sings better than Freddie live is Under Pressure. He and Roger have such chemistry; well he does with Brian as well; but when he sings Under Pressure live he can hit the high notes. When he sings the "why" in the verse, the way he takes that note into the stratosphere is amazing. Freddie sang it well but live he avoided the higher notes. I still love Freddie! When they were in Bologna last month he surprised the audience by singing from the aria Nessun Dorma. Yes he trained in opera for a little while when he was a teenager and he is incredible! It's a breathtaking 2 minutes of the Queen and Adam Lambert concert in Italy. Like others have said Who Wants to Live Forever at the Isle of Wight or check out his solo music from his last album Closer to You his live session or on the James Corden show or On the Moon on the James Corden show. The guy is incredible and when he covers another singers song I find myself listening to his version over the original artist. He's literally that good and puts so much emotion in the songs. If you watched The Show Must Go On documentary on Netflix I suggest giving it a try. I came away with a lot of respect for Adam and even more than I already did for Brian May and Roger Taylor.
Love Adam, he is fabulous and no other current male singer matches him, in my opinion. One thing folks rarely mention is that Freddie actually was a baritone, and Adam is a tenor. Therefore Adam naturally sings in a higher range than Freddie. Freddie definitely hit high notes (most rock singers can and Freddie is of course legendary) but some have said that the high notes in Queen songs were actually written for Roger to sing.
You, sir, definetly need to hear "Adam Lambert - What Do You Want From Me", if you were intrigued by the voice of this singer. It's his pinnacle ridge, a masterpiece that made him famous.
He's such a versatile singer, and he sings with such emotion every performance. And his clarity and diction are phenomenal - there is nothing worse than listening to a song and being unable to understand the words. I could go on and on about him and his talent, I wish more people appreciated him the way he deserves.
You should go back to Season 8 of American Idol and check out his performances there. He set the bar so high on that show. You could react to them one by one. I’m here for it❣️
@@jomardel If he had won, his first album would have been very very different, because AI would have controlled the direction of it and who he worked with.Personally, I feel that it was better in the long run that he lost, and FYE had a truly star-studded lineup of co-writers and musicians regardless. I think he needed to do things his own way, but that is just my opinion.
It was obvious he was the better “everything” that year. When he did not “win”, it changed the integrity of the show for me so I no longer watched it. But I think Adam has gotten the last laugh and is doing fine.
@Astro 713 and Chis Pavlich I agree entirely. No contest. He should have won. For me there was no one even close to his level of talent and ability to own a stage. The show just didn't mean much after he lost. Being the frontman of Queen is definitely having the last laugh in my book. Although I still feel like he should be way bigger than he is as a solo artist.
The woman who was crying in the audience and stood to clap at the end...was Cher (the original singer). I think she gave her stamp of approval on Adam Lambert's version.
Adam's version of the song made Cher cry. Let me repeat that. He made the original artist, nm CHER, cry with the emotion he evoked in her with her own song! Adam is just in a different league.
Cher is a magnificently famous singer, with hundreds of songs out, over the years. But you’re right! She Never sang Anything as superb as Adam just sang her song!!!❤️
Adam is truly truly a force to be reckoned with. Loved him from his idol days and I was so lucky to watch him live when he toured asia back in 2010 Gorgeous voice and just has this lovely vibe.
The best part of this performance is he does *with his own voice* the iconic autotune wobble of the original. Adam Lambert is SUCH an amazing performer. And I feel super old that a guy with a greying beard hasn't heard Cher's 90's anthem Believe!
To really appreciate how he completely transformed this song, listen to the original by Cher, which was a total dance track - upbeat and poppy. He turned it into a soulful ballad, and freakin' knocked it out of the park.
Adam is amazing, he has the same range as Whitney, possibly a slightly bigger range. He can sing every queen song, which is notoriously hard to sing one well.
Dude! You must listen to more Cher! This is SUCH a different song than the way Cher sang it. The change in arrangement gives it a very different meaning, IMO. But add more Cher, pronto!
The Cher song was THE FIRST AUTOTUNE song ... before T-Pain Future etc. She used the system to make a disco anthem for the late 90s. Not with a voice coder like Roger Troutman or Peter Frampton. CHER actually use the Auto-Tune to remove the pitch from her voice in the song.
He came in 2nd in 2009 America Idol. Queen flew to L.A. to perform with Adam Lambert for the finale of Idol and it proved such a success that not long after, in November 2011, Adam Lambert was officially the new lead singer of Queen. REBA was inducted the same night as Cher.
What do you mean? He is onto his 5th solo album and has lots of other projects he does.....voice acting, acting, judging on tv shows....(actually something he said recently confused me....it almost sounded like album 5and 6 is being worked on....).
@Juki P The rock musical's concept album is coming soon (before the end of the year?). He mentioned that something else would be released but it's not necessarily a full album. Could be a collaboration with another artist.
When they broadcast the Kennedy Center Honors in D. C. the audience will be a mixture of politicians, stars of stage, screen, and music so there is no telling who you will see. The Honorees will usually be up in the center box with the President and First Lady or their designated representatives. They were honoring the cast of "Hamilton" this same year so they had the cast sitting together like that because the cast also performed sections of the musical.
This is a cover of hers. It's more pop when she sings it. He made her tear up with her own song. He's amazing at making songs his own. His American Idol performances are proof of that. His cover of MJ's Black and White blew me away. I was out of my chair
Hi MrLBoyd, recent suscriber and listener to your channel, great reactions you've got. I'm french canadian, so I'll say this : Bravo, je vous aime beaucoup !
Believe is one of Cher’s biggest hits. She used a heavy dose of autotune on the recording, so it’s very distinctive if you hear it. Adam’s version, obviously without autotune, is beautifully done.
"I've encountered it in passing" - The most likely reason you can't place it is because Cher's version is a dance bop, complete with auto-tune. It's one of the first songs I remember using auto-tune for effect. I'm sure there were others before 1998, but this is the first one I remember.
Another great performance at The Kennedy Honors Center is Aretha Franklin honoring the Great Carol King, Natural Women, which Aretha made A big hit with, Miss King is so surprised when The Great Aretha Franklin walked out. Some old Cher videos from her TV show Cher, working with some great artists back then...... Of course you have seen Heart...Led Zeppelin..Kennedy Center
Adam Lambert was runner up on American Idol. He is the front runner replacing Freddy Mercury in QUEEN. Just came back from singing for the Queen's Birthday celebration alson with Sir Tom Jones, Sting. Etc. Adam has also been in GLEE with Demi Lovato (playing an electric guitar) for 5 episodes, also is on tour singing a duet with Demi. But this performance was to Honor Cher at the Kennedy Center Honors and Adam has a way of changing the vocals to show off the positive of a song. He did such a good job with "Believe" Got him a standing ovation. Kelly Clarkson didn't even come close honoring Reba McIntire. Also honored was Hamilton. Of course they were awesome with Christopher Jackson. But check out Adam Lambert and Queen. Also you should check out the CMA awards for Carrie Underwood and CeCe Wayans performance and Carrie Underwood "O Holy Night" from the Jimmy Fallon Show. Her vibrato is not to be compared to anyone. And her and Vince Gill singing AMAZING GRACE.
Cher's version was good, just very campy/ dance tune. Adam turned it into a ballad, and I thought it was beautiful. You really need to see his performance of Who Wants To Live Forever with Queen at the Isle of Wight. Very special.
I love Adam Lambert! And I watched you and other TH-camrs listening to people singing and I love seeing the reaction on your faces it makes it even better listening!
I see a lot of people mentioned Who Wants to Live Forever at Isle of Wight with Queen. If you react to it, make sure you get the slightly longer version where he speaks at the beginning. As far as the people in the audience, many are from the original cast of Hamilton. Anyway, love Adam!
If you can’t believe Adam’a version of Believe. You really need to hear him do Ring of Fire that he did on American Idol. It shows he’s ability as a singer.

You're absolutely right, he'll never be Freddie, but he is the spiritual successor
it stupid that you think that he wants to be Freddie he is good to be what he is and sing songs that whole world loves

Adam Lambert is appreciated except by people who constantly pit/compare him to other artist.
Queen + Adam Lambert - Who Wants To Live Forever (Live At The Isle Of Wight Festival 2016) is astonishing and powerful
This is a MUST listen to.
It will bring you to tears especially when yo realize the dedication.
His voice is like WTF 😮 It's absolutely beautiful 🤗
He's been one of my favorites since his time on American Idol. His voice is amazing 😍
Adam Lambert is so unappreciated!! One of the best vocalists of all time!!
What Stacia271 said! His version of Who Wants To Live Forever at the Isle of Wight concert in 2016 with Queen is something out of this world
this beautiful soul can sing ANYTHING!!!
Not many if any can sing like Adam.
For a total change of genre and a real example of Adam’s range and talent try Nessum Dorma done a few weeks ago in Bologna on the European run of the Rhapsody Tour. He did Puccini in Puccini’s city and SLAYS the audience. Queen+AdamLambert sold out arenas all over Europe ,the United Kingdom,and Scandinavia. It’ll knock your socks off.
That was magnificent. Nessum Dorma done with that costume was a killer...lol.
Adam's voice is underrated that's certain.
I’ve watched it, so good
😃
I get chills every single time I hear the way Adam Lambert sings this song. Its amazing!!

I absolutely adore his rendition of Marry the Night by Lady Gaga.
He will probably do that on his tour later this year or at his Vegas residency
OMG yes to Lady Gaga that is amazing
He did it live just recently
He is singing from his soul, Beautiful. I loved him when he was on American Idol

was never much of a adam lambert fan. but after listening to him sing this song a few years back. hot damn. he's good.
Bravo, Adam!

Adam should be a superstar. He has a great voice and range.
You should react to adam with queen. There will never be another freddie but adam can sing his ass off.

I could watch this over and over!! Adam Lambert is AMAZING!!!
Adam Lambert is great I listen to him all the time
My very favourite rendition and performance of this song EVER and watch this time and again. Love Adam. Thankyou.
I have been an Adam fan since his American Idol days. He was a runner up but he has succeeded more than the one the won the competition
Adam can sing anything. Any genre. Ok maybe not rap. Lol
Queen hired this guy. Says it all really.
Cher is a magnificently famous singer, with hundreds of songs out, over the years. But you’re right! She Never sang Anything as superb as Adam just sang her song!!!❤️
I don't know if you noticed but the whole cast of Hamilton was there.
Adam is truly truly a force to be reckoned with. Loved him from his idol days and I was so lucky to watch him live when he toured asia back in 2010

Listen to the Isle Of Wight version of Adam Lambert s Who WANTS to Live Forever, it's the best one
he's truly one of a king
You have heard of a band called Queen he has toured with them for 10yrs.
Adam Lambert had beautiful and incredibly awesome vocal range…
Sonny and Cher? Then you should go for I got you babe, sang at this same event by Adam and Cyndi Lauper.
Adam Lambert!! Absolutely AMZAZING... Wish he would do more of his own thing..

I actually love your reviews I think you’re so incredibly talented and generous in your reviews. I love watching you and listening to you.
Adam Lambert can sing anything.
My favorite performance by him
I seen Adam Lambert on TV he smashed Cher's song Cher started crying honestly stunning 👌⭐⭐⭐❤️🏴😇
Cher's version was good, just very campy/ dance tune. Adam turned it into a ballad, and I thought it was beautiful.
You really need to see his performance of Who Wants To Live Forever with Queen at the Isle of Wight. Very special.
Freaking amazing voice!!! Love Adam!
I love Adam Lambert! And I watched you and other TH-camrs listening to people singing and I love seeing the reaction on your faces it makes it even better listening!
Cher is the one who gasp at the long note!
I see a lot of people mentioned Who Wants to Live Forever at Isle of Wight with Queen. If you react to it, make sure you get the slightly longer version where he speaks at the beginning. As far as the people in the audience, many are from the original cast of Hamilton. Anyway, love Adam!
Adam is phenomenal artist,was robbed of American idol title but he succeeded without it ♥️♥️♥️♥️love him
More Adam Lambert ❤️
If you can’t believe Adam’a version of Believe. You really need to hear him do Ring of Fire that he did on American Idol. It shows he’s ability as a singer.
You have to hear him singing opera in Queens Italian tour!! Wow!
Simply beautiful voice ❤
He makes Cher cry.
