What upsets me, is that so many Queen fans give Adam such a bad time. They all say he's trying to be Freddie, when he has said himself he is not, and that nobody can sing like Freddie. And nobody can sing like Adam. Roger Taylor said there's no one in the world today that can sing like Adam. I believe Brian May said his voice is 1 in a million and that he stands next to him on stage and he hits notes that Freddie could never do. Adam's voice is absolutely fantastic.
Brian actually said he has a voice in a billion. He also said he had the most extraordinary voice he's ever heard. I know what you mean about the Queen fans, though, it's really the Freddie and Marc Martel fans who are jealous because Adam is so successful. If you go on Queen's Facebook, the comments are overwhelmingly positive and just a handful of trolls who keep bashing Adam and anyone who makes a positive comment about Adam. They keep saying he can't sing but you have legitimate vocal coaches like this who are blown away by his voice. Here is another good one. th-cam.com/video/AVufwVLHAtY/w-d-xo.html Who are these trolls who think they know better than a vocal coach who make their living teaching others how to sing?
Adam is the best male vocalist alive today. It is a shame that people don’t recognize that in the US. He is also a very talented songwriter, he enjoys collaborating with other songwriters. He is great at twisting song and melodies around to suit him and make them fresh and new. I first heard him sing this arrangement 10 years ago during his auditioning process for American Idol. He was in Italy for a private performance a couple years ago and even sang an aria from an opera in Italian that he learned as a teenager when he was still taking voice lessons.
@@escape0007 Sorry, but Mercury did not have a classically trained voice. Adam Lambert doesn't sound like Freddie. Lambert has much greater control over his voice and a much better technique of singing. That is not to detract from Mercury's accomplishments. Mercury was a great singer. Lambert is an extraordinary, astonishing, superb singer.
@@escape0007 oh, yeah, that's a different story. You're right. I feel like all the critics are now praising Freddie into the stars, but while he was alive, Queen always had to struggle against bad reviews and critics spouting their nonsense, unbelievable! Also, artists like David Bowie, etc. who should have been honoured at the Grammys but never were, I just have no words when I see some pretty mediocre artists get all the awards... In Adam's case, I think that critics mostly praise him, and he always gets good reviews for albums or performances, it's just that the general mainstream audience is kind of sleeping on how incredible he is. But hopefully that is changing, and hopefully it won't take until after he dies for people to start appreciating his talent for what it is
I would listen to Adam sing the phone book! When your version of a song brings the original artist to tears, you know there's something special happening.
In the modern context Adam is in fact THE greatest singer of all time. Check out him singing this arrangement (his own, even in 2009) in the workups before he’d even made it into ‘IDOL’. A masterclass from a singer with no equal. th-cam.com/video/7pdrfqJ4NL0/w-d-xo.htmlsi=A1kp88H-etkUzBom
I love how Adam doesn’t overuse his vibrato . He’s notes are beautifully clean and I think that showcases his voice best. I also love how he made this song his. The arrangement is gorgeous. I think I even like it better than the original.
Coming from a family of musicians I have heard countless singers in my life.What Adam can do with his voice is beyond insanely amazing.The control and the effortless way he can sing any song is absolutely incredible.
He's really incredible. I remember watching him on American Idol when I was ten years old and in the closet, and seeing that kind of representation from a mainstream artist who was not only stratospherically talented, but unabashedly proud of who he was, was game-changing for me. I just saw him live in New York and it was everything I hoped it would be and more
yes it's jealousy. Being a fan of Adam was quite hard when I was 13 and I understood already that he has one of the best voices in the world yet everyone around me bullied me for being his fan and told me straight to my face "Adam sucks he can't sing for shit". Even later when I was 18 there was this one guy in our friend group who always disliked Adam for no reason at all, told me once that "he just has such a generic male voice, it's nothing special" Those idiots know nothing about music and especially about voice yet had the audacity to say anything they wanted but whenever I said their indie girl singers have very generic voices I was being "narcissistic and fanatic" Luckily those people are not part of my life anymore and they still don't understand shit for music. Adam is up there with Whitney Houston and Freddie Mercury. A voice that will be remembered for decades to come.
its not that they dont like his voice. they either dont like that he's better than their fave or they dont understand singing that isnt generic autotuned pop. There really isnt anything to dislike. Oh and some will pretend they dont like his voice when really it's about him being gay. I wouldn't spend too much energy trying to analyse them. TBH :)
usa banned him only for kissed his guitar musician but madonna can, britney can and others females singers can, but a gay man with a great voice not , double moral
I saw Adam perform with Queen at Madison Square Garden just a few weeks before this performance. He is so comfortable in his own skin and a voice like his comes along just once in a lifetime. No one out there even remotely sounds like him. Honestly was shocked that the vocal coach had not one critique. My only criticism would be that I was not invited to the Kennedy Awards 😔.
and here in January 2020 people are STILL talking about this performance...and he released a studio recording of it, it's sublime. He is unmatched in music today
@@soniachapple3141 Adam Lambert is a better Singer and performer than Urie. Adam has expert control over his instrument, producing notes that are well supported, and achieved via great technique. He is capable of singing complex melisma and is able to hold notes for periods of time without wavering in pitch or tone, seemingly effortlessly. Besides, Adam uses more full and mixed voice in the High notes and Urie uses more falsettos in the High notes.

Adam is able to sing in various musical styles like lyrical (classical music) "Brigadoon", Dance music "Lay me Down", Funk and Jazz music, Pop, Rock Underground "Citizen Vein", Rock (Led Zepplin, Queen, Rolling Stones, Aerosmith, Elvis Presley ) and many others ...
I knew he was brilliant the first time he sang on American Idol, and I've followed him as best I can ever since. I love his voice and his vocal abilities so much. I have always felt his talent was unique and exceptional, and was not at all surprised when he started to work with Queen. I hadn't ever been able to break down his skills, though, as you have done here in this video. Thank you so much, it's opened up a whole new appreciation of his voice for me.
I recall when I first heard Adam on American Idol how far and seasoned he has come. Phenomenal talent. Like good wine he gets better with age. I so agree with your comment at the end of your reaction, he is one of the top male vocalist out there today. Im so impressed at his interpretation of that song and having nerves of steel to perform at Kennedy Center in front of Cher none the less. Very impressive, so much so it gave me chills.
Thank you John! I understand your reviews more than any other vocal coach on TH-cam. You don’t make it about you and you explain in a way I can understand. That being said, I love Adam Lambert’s voice even though I can’t tell you from a technical perspective why. I just know he is my favorite vocalist of all time. I appreciate someone like you recognizing his talent. Thanks again!
It is a stunning performance. It amazes how well he sings. I heard him Queen this summer and at one point his filled the arena floor to ceiling. I appreciate learning more about the different techniques.
It's nice to see people recognize how great Adam is. I think he is still, even now, very overlooked and not appreciated enough. I loved the look of astonishment and pleasure on your face while listening. This song always brings tears to my eyes, it is just that great.
I am not a trained singer, but when I first saw this I was blown away. Thank you for your analysis - it confirms for me what a great performance this is
I’m certainly no expert in vocals but I didn’t need a vocal teacher to tell me that Adam Lambert has a fantastic voice. I watched this man on American Idol and he blew me away with his voice back then.👍👍 I think he was lucky he did not win that show because he had more control over his career and has obviously been very successful.
I've always said that him not winning was the biggest failure of the show but the best thing for his career. He got the publicity from being there but not locked into their contract obligations. sold twice as many albums as Kris Allen plus doing the other bands.
Thank you so much for this reaction vid! I guess it's the very professional equivalent to me saying he could sing my local (German) phonebook and I'd still buy tickets to that event. And yes, he still sounds better live on stage than on youtube! Go see him solo or with Queen, he'll blow your mind anyway!
Great reaction John I appreciate your mention of his musicality as well as technique. I was fortunate to see him sing on Monday in New York in a small venue . Technically flawless as always (specifically how energy efficient he is). But what stands out to me most is his connection and instinct. He conveys beautifully the miracle of the human voice . 🙌
Thanks for reacting to that,, ❤💕 the fact there is the organizers wanted to tribute cher and told adam to sing the original version but adam said he'll do this one and this made cher cry
When I come here, I know I am receiving solid, technical vocal information. The reasons, the why's, the how, the truth. Thank you for this gift to those of us who are gobsmacked by Adam's gift. #VELVETsideA
@@JohnHennyVocalStudio you also know when you stop at a point, it's that you explain why and you go back so then we see or should I say hear the whole run of the vocalist. Thank you for being aware of us..love your passion. Happy New Decade!! ; )
Yes, John, I agree with you 100%, he is one of the best performers, if not the best, around today. Thank you for your analysis. I could tell from the very first time I saw Adam sing that he had something very special.
Michele Hilty I heard, too, how special & gifted he is, not just with his vocals, but as a performer. He should have won that season of Idol. I was stunned when he didn't.
Thanks soou much for reaction video!!!! l saw Adam at his solo twice and 3 times with Queen!!!! All times Adam fantastic!!! Best concerts and best moments in my life!!!!!
His performance of this song blows Cher's version into the shadow zone. No comparison. Took a disco beat and turned into a true heart wrenching powerful song.
Hi, John--I've never heard anyone discuss Adam's vocal folds before :) It is my opinion that he has an extra lung as well! Seriously, thank you for your excellent analysis of Adam's out-of-this-world voice--I will be seeing him perform live on Friday and I don't know if I'll survive when he sings Believe! I hope you get to see him perform live someday.
I've seen this performance many times, because I never get tired of it. But it also seems to me I saw him do it, changing a disco song into a ballad, back when he was on the America's Got Talent or whatever show that was. He's magnificent.
I've loved Adam for a decade already! He's like a precious magical creature from another dimension that for some reason the mysterious Universe has gifted him to us. And I am infinitely grateful! He tailors his whole demeanor from venue to venue and it's just such a pleasure to watch. Have a look at his acoustic performance from, I think it's Foxwood? Recently. For instance his acoustic version of If I had You where he sings" because I have all of you" and it's just a very sweet moment. I just want to hug him, hold him, and kiss him on the cheek, then make him food to eat. Lol
Thank you for such a thorough and brilliant analysis!! I always enjoy your reaction vids, your love of singing shows bright and clear, so very genuine..you must be a well-loved teacher, without a doubt! And yes, absolutely agree with you. Adam’s seamless transitions, cleanness, colours and layers, this particular arrangement, truly masterful and glorious! Just What he can do with his vocal instrument, blows my mind repeatedly.. And you paused and mentioned each and every point, with fantastic clarity in description of exactly how Adam creates such a flawless flavour! Thank you!! This was Wonderful..
He’s got a really good boys and the members of Queen love having him sing with them because they say he makes them feel younger. Adam has that Youngblood they say they to keep then feeling like they did in their younger years.
Unfortunately I could only understand half of it, but so much that you are thrilled by Adam's voice, his technique... plus his performance, his charisma, his beauty.... he is simply indescribable, a godsend.
I can't watch this performance without an extended smile, on multiple occasions, from pure joy and uncontrollable tears. I believe the tears are from witnessing an evocative, truly professional, absolutely perfect, transcendent performance. I don't know. My reaction has not changed in 20 viewings over 3 months.
While I think Dimash is a very rare talent (I'm a fan), Adam Lambert will probably always be my favorite male singer. And for so many reasons. Thank you for your wonderful reaction. Nice to see someone that really knows what they are talking about.
This is fascinating to hear your analysis. I've followed Adam as a fan for 10 years and am always in awe of his vocal ability. What amazes me is how easy he makes it look but there is obviously a lot of practice and skill behind it. I love hearing vocal experts acknowledge his excellence. Thank you.
Outstanding! I liked your comment about Adam being emotionally connected... Very few evaluators that I've seen have commented on it... And I find that absolutely breathtaking!!! ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️ I just Love Adam.
Thank you for reacting to Adam's singing again. Your insights are so interesting and show true professionalism. If you haven't heard Adam sing live yet you should really do if you have a chance! His recordings are incredible but hearing him live is just... out of this world! :)
We all know Adam is amazing, but what really hits me is the SPOT ON analysis by this voice teacher. John Henny seems to really know what the instrument can do and is being done here by Adam. Love them both
I LOVEEEE, this performance. I am new to this channel.this is why in here. I already love Adam Lambert, I was desperate to know why. This analysis is why I'm here.
This is the only TH-camr 'reaction' video I'll watch. John Henny managers to explain the vocals in a way that makes sense. He also he's the only person who gets that technical but keeps it interesting. Thank you so much for posting.
Another great evaluation, Adam is so great but not really appreciated in today’s music industry but he made this song his own version and Cher loved it. John Henry you’re the best music evaluator that I’ve listened to so far, great job
Hearing you discuss the technical aspects of singing makes me realize how much is involved when a person with a well-developed voice and musical instinct is singing. I haven't previously heard the details about singing vowels that you've pointed out in this review and your review of Adam singing "Who Wants To Live Forever." Thank you. I'm interested in hearing your review of a few songs from Adam's new EP, Velvet Side A. He posted live sessions performances on his youtube channel ... Superpower, Closer to You, Overglow, etc. His live session of Feel Something connects on a deeply emotional level, as does Closer to You.
I have been looking for a “reactor” who actually analyzes the voice, how the singer is able to do what they do and what they are doing, and HERE YOU ARE!!!! 2020 is going to be a great year. I remember the first time Adam took a Cher song on American Idol and made it his own. He was incredible then. I hope you also react to and analyze Elvis Presley. I would love to hear what you have to say about his voice, the shift before military service and after. Why he could sing so many styles of music, yet they all sounded like his own. Thank you.
I've always found this performance so moving. Thanks for the detailed analysis, so I can truly appreciate the technique behind it and better understand part of *why* I find it so moving!
On the arrangement: www.bbc.com/news/entertainment-arts-49876872 "At first they weren't sure, but I said, 'Would you please trust me?' and I'm really glad I pushed for it - because I think that's what made it such a moment." He is so f-ing good
I would love John Henny to react to Adam singing "SOAKED" while in Indianapolis (2010) - his most theatrical performance in my opinion, jaw dropping and mind blowing, watch the audience
When a legend like Cher actually cries, you know you've done good.
What upsets me, is that so many Queen fans give Adam such a bad time. They all say he's trying to be Freddie, when he has said himself he is not, and that nobody can sing like Freddie.

And you paused and mentioned each and every point, with fantastic clarity in description of exactly how Adam creates such a flawless flavour! Thank you!! This was Wonderful..
Thank you, I appreciate the kind words.
He should have won Idol way back then. He is one of the top vocalists in the world .
It took Kelly Clarkson 17 years to get out from under her Idol contract so he’s much better off having not won. He’d probably still be pigeonholed.
I really love Adam Lambert,he is the best male singer today!
donnie payne I think both Adam and Brendon Urie are both up there with vocal range and control
Adam is amazing, his voice is so strong and sensitive at the same time, love him
I’m here in November 2020 and I’m literally amazed at his vocals. He is incredible ❤️ I honestly can’t stop listening
Most underrated singer, bravo, Adam!
He’s got a really good boys and the members of Queen love having him sing with them because they say he makes them feel younger. Adam has that Youngblood they say they to keep then feeling like they did in their younger years.
Adam is incredible. Absolutely amazing.
Unfortunately I could only understand half of it, but so much that you are thrilled by Adam's voice, his technique... plus his performance, his charisma, his beauty.... he is simply indescribable, a godsend.
love adam since forever. humble AF
He is an OUTSTANDING singer.
I can't watch this performance without an extended smile, on multiple occasions, from pure joy and uncontrollable tears. I believe the tears are from witnessing an evocative, truly professional, absolutely perfect, transcendent performance. I don't know.
My reaction has not changed in 20 viewings over 3 months.
I agree with you, sir! This young man is wonderfully talented.
While I think Dimash is a very rare talent (I'm a fan), Adam Lambert will probably always be my favorite male singer. And for so many reasons. Thank you for your wonderful reaction. Nice to see someone that really knows what they are talking about.
Adam is also a very rare talent, both are incredible, the top can have more than two people
This is fascinating to hear your analysis. I've followed Adam as a fan for 10 years and am always in awe of his vocal ability. What amazes me is how easy he makes it look but there is obviously a lot of practice and skill behind it. I love hearing vocal experts acknowledge his excellence. Thank you.
He sang a rough arrangement.of this during the Hollywood Week in American Idol season 8 as well, so he's had time to fine tune it since
Outstanding! I liked your comment about Adam being emotionally connected... Very few evaluators that I've seen have commented on it... And I find that absolutely breathtaking!!! ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️ I just Love Adam.
Underrated but finally getting the recognition he always deserved.
The word you were looking for is flawless :)
Thank you for reacting to Adam's singing again. Your insights are so interesting and show true professionalism.
If you haven't heard Adam sing live yet you should really do if you have a chance! His recordings are incredible but hearing him live is just... out of this world! :)
Adam is the best!!!! 👏👏👏
We all know Adam is amazing, but what really hits me is the SPOT ON analysis by this voice teacher. John Henny seems to really know what the instrument can do and is being done here by Adam. Love them both
Brings tears to my eyes
That's why Cher cried so much! He did so well!
Wow. Adam is amazing. Wow, when you make Cher cry you know it’s amazing. Thanks for great review
Adam is a phenomenon
I LOVEEEE, this performance. I am new to this channel.this is why in here. I already love Adam Lambert, I was desperate to know why. This analysis is why I'm here.
Watching your critique, but even more, explaining all the various techniques Adam uses was so so enjoyable. Thank you sir.
Thank you John Henny..... I will never listen to vocal artists the same! I have to watch this over again. You are great! G.
He has excellent

This is the only TH-camr 'reaction' video I'll watch. John Henny managers to explain the vocals in a way that makes sense. He also he's the only person who gets that technical but keeps it interesting.
Thank you so much for posting.
Another great evaluation, Adam is so great but not really appreciated in today’s music industry but he made this song his own version and Cher loved it. John Henry you’re the best music evaluator that I’ve listened to so far, great job
Hearing you discuss the technical aspects of singing makes me realize how much is involved when a person with a well-developed voice and musical instinct is singing. I haven't previously heard the details about singing vowels that you've pointed out in this review and your review of Adam singing "Who Wants To Live Forever." Thank you. I'm interested in hearing your review of a few songs from Adam's new EP, Velvet Side A. He posted live sessions performances on his youtube channel ... Superpower, Closer to You, Overglow, etc. His live session of Feel Something connects on a deeply emotional level, as does Closer to You.
Adam can Sing anything Well.God blessed him with his talent looks and kindness
Adam is a fantastic singer and entertainer, love listening and watching him perform
Beautiful analysis of a beautiful song sung beautifully by a beautiful and talented man. Thank you so much! ♥️♥️♥️
He is perfection!
I have been looking for a “reactor” who actually analyzes the voice, how the singer is able to do what they do and what they are doing, and HERE YOU ARE!!!! 2020 is going to be a great year. I remember the first time Adam took a Cher song on American Idol and made it his own. He was incredible then. I hope you also react to and analyze Elvis Presley. I would love to hear what you have to say about his voice, the shift before military service and after. Why he could sing so many styles of music, yet they all sounded like his own. Thank you.
this explains the astonishment and amazement i feel everytime adam performs. theres just so much to describe
It is so wonderful nobody can sing this like he does
I've always found this performance so moving. Thanks for the detailed analysis, so I can truly appreciate the technique behind it and better understand part of *why* I find it so moving!
He made Cher CRY and I will never not be over that...
Just an incredibly talented performer of our time. So blessed to be able to hear him.😊

"At first they weren't sure, but I said, 'Would you please trust me?' and I'm really glad I pushed for it - because I think that's what made it such a moment."
He is so f-ing good
I would love John Henny to react to Adam singing "SOAKED" while in Indianapolis (2010) - his most theatrical performance in my opinion, jaw dropping and mind blowing, watch the audience
