Adam Lambert Breaks Down His Queer Journey, Early 'Idol' Success & Touring with Queen | Them

[@marlenemalin9808]

He deserves all the accolades. He is a once in a generation vocalist.

[@paulabdul4505]

He doesn't seem to have that many

[@kennethguinto4862]

@@paulabdul4505 he is bigger outside the US. He is the voice of Queen the band since 2014. and among the very few Idol alumns he still has a career today . do you remember any of the white guy with guitar winners?

[@keyblade5916]

​@@kennethguinto4862oppppp 😂 facts with white guy with a 🎸 lol

[@a_goblue2023]

He’s got multi successful albums, and fronts one the greatest bands in history, I think he’s doing ok 😂

[@ICONICPARIS]

Definitely

[@plushstrawberryfrog]

Teenage me was obsessed with him, adult me continues to be. I'm so happy that it worked out for him.

[@Лаванда-ы7з]

Он прекрасен

[@sherimedford4106]

Adam is so authentic. He could be so arrogant because he is beautiful and talented and so smart, but he has chosen to be a humble real person.

[@Bettyboop08]

I don’t think he believes he’s as big as he is. Until he’s on stage. That’s awesome. Love him so much.

[@eyeonit469]

"Ignorance is the biggest enemy of change" is the truest sentence ever spoken and should be on banners and T-shirts.

[@miakey8082]

For me it would go "Ignorance is the enemy of progress" but I agree, when Adam said that in the video", I thought "That's so true".

[@FacheChanteDeux]

Adam's parents are awesome. I wish the parents of every lgbtq kid could be that understanding.

[@tonylombardi4661]

My first concert was Queen 1977. I saw Queen live four different amazing tours. I liked Lambert on Idol, but I thought I would never see Queen+Lambert because I saw Freddie. Freddie was The Best. This last Q+L "Rhapsody Tour" I decided to take my wife and see Brian and Roger once more. The show was terrific, and Lamberts' voice is exceptional singing the Queen catolog. We had a great time.

[@emonsalt]

I personally believe he was the best contender in American Idol

[@barbspratt3897]

I've watched all seasons of American Idol and have never felt the excitement and anticipation waiting each week to see Adam Lambert perform....it wasn't only his amazing voice, but even then, he had a mesmerizing stage presence and an air of confidence without seeming arrogant. So happy to hear he had such loving parents ...wish that were the case with all LGBQT kids😍

[@annemacleod1421]

Praise to Adam’s mother… Adam in the American Idol contest allowed my husband and I to watch with our young daughter …and to affirm him for being himself. So glad he took a chance. He never lost us. We admired him even more. And December 2023 he sang in Westminster Cathedral for the Christmas carol service. There you go, Adam! 🐑🐑🇳🇿🇳🇿NZ

[@oniebaloney]

congratulation to your son and to you and your husband for being amazing parents

[@MegumiMoo]

Thank you for being an exceptional parent. Mine never accepted me until my mum passed... you rock

[@eugenevlassis7231]

Adam has such a down to Earth personality. I didn't know he had so much professional experience before American Idol, but thought he was beyond his years. His voice and range amaze me.

[@heathermack5056]

I am 82 and Love Adam! He is so gifted with that voice. Also hasn't have ego issues. Proud of him.

[@shannongreer6194]

I’ve been a hardcore fan since I in stood in my living room, jaw dropped, mouth hanging wide open, watching him sing his version of “Ring of Fire” on American Idol. I was mesmerized during that performance and knew beyond a doubt that he would end up a super star. Not a doubt. Best vocalist I’ve ever heard in my 53 years!

[@carolinehaf21]

Adam + Mad World = STILL one of the most amazing emotional journeys I've ever been on listening to a song. Adore it to this day.

[@AmanCreatesArt]

You can definitely see the moment he talks about on the Idol finale when Brian May gives him that "Oh!!!" look! 😃

[@johnatyoutube]

Adam is a gift. His singing is among the best of the last 100 years. I'm glad he's coming into his own and being recognized for who he is as a person as well as his stage persona. His story as well as his incredible music is amazing. I really appreciate his voice in all its beautiful dimensions!

[@maree268]

I could listen to him talk all day. He is so inspiring. I am curious to see what his new direction is….

[@tesssouter4521]

I love this guy he is not only a lovely human but the very best singer .

[@sheilamorris1597]

Adam is an amazing singer and story teller. I love that he is himself and doesn't care what people think. Hats off to him ❤❤❤❤❤

[@tammyalbertsen9522]

Such a major talent! So happy for him that his parents were supportive of him in all the ways. He seems so well-adjusted. Wish all kids had that kind of support.

[@paulastapleton9072]

Adam always speaks so eloquently. I love his interviews. I became a fan when I saw him performing with Queen. I love his music, particularly Velvet. I love him a little bit more each time I see him interviewed. 💖Thank you for posting this.

[@intotheunknown1991]

Adam is phenomenal and I will always say that , he needs to be talked about more , his music is outstanding and to be a frontman of queen for this long is just incredible! Roger and Brian are his friends they have built a friendship and that's why it's lasted so long ❤ we are all so proud of you Adam ❤

[@1010divajap]

Not only is he an extraordinary talent, but he is well spoken and balanced. And caring!

[@kater9151]

So happy for all of Adam's success. So incredibly talented

[@bertiesmith4178]

I'm sorry now that I was one of those people who didn't vote for him because I wasn't comfortable with his performances. That isn't me today. Thank you Adam.

[@ShyAnn291]

Thank you for not being afraid to say you were wrong! there are a lot of people who are afraid to do that.

[@leetravers7768]

.thanks​@@ShyAnn291

[@ashleyorourke2367]

This is honestly one of the nicest messages I've read in a KZbin comment!

[@elijahmcfall2236]

Incredible that you’ve been open to learning and growing ❤❤

[@no1nestandsalone387]

He wasn’t chosen as a winner so he could tour with Queen. It didn’t matter if you didn’t vote.

[@pennywise5199]

I just love Adam Lambert, and I'm a conservative republican. Adam is real and genuine. He is not full of himself. He's personable and confident in his skin.

[@LindaNichols-i9k]

Me too and I love him also!

[@kikidrtm]

Him being this humble and grounded is honestly so refreshing in this over sensationalized industry

[@lisaslaymaker4994]

Love listening to you Adam your such an inspiration to many people, love how supportive you are to the lgbtq community, your such a humble beautiful soul, I absolutely adore you ❤

[@DunjaAbel]

My heart is so full, you are so sweet, loving and open. You are so Adam, Adam we looooove and cherish. I am so proud of you 🫶🫶

I’m so happy to see this episode. He’s been a fixture of my coming out journey and has given me so much courage to be myself. Such an eloquent speaker, so smart, and fun.

[@Mollydolly538]

Your parents must be so proud, but also you must be so proud of your parents ❤

[@ShyAnn291]

He’s always been handsome! I think so anyway.

[@CelestialPopCollectiveOfficial]

I agree. His look is nothing short of stunning and has always been.

Saw him in Denver a few months ago. Truly the most amazing concert. His talent is off the charts and his personality is so charming.

[@otterriffic2582]

You are a rockstar Adam!!! Let me elaborate. You are solid as in rock solid. Knowing who you are. You are bright as in a bright shining star. Bright meaning smart. Your the reason I watched American Idol that season. And following your career has been a delight. Merry Christmas Adam. My wish for you is that you read this!!! Keep sharing your truth, it does make a difference in this world!

[@PFCD]

Adam is a brilliant vocalist and very honest and down to earth. I don't know anyone who has a better voice than him.

[@MegaJazzyjess]

I love Adam he's amazing

[@barbtowne6482]

The first time I heard Adam sing, my 1st thought was that if anyone could fill in for the amazing Freddy Mercury it would have to be Adam. He has everything it takes to cover Freddy. The voice the flash, he's the perfect fit!

[@kimbok5971]

Loved hearing part of Adam's story, love Adam, love his voice, can never get enough of this extremely gifted singer.

[@romanpower3]

Fantastic, thank you Adam!

[@gloriajeanshaeffer1549]

I'd love to see Adam on a talk show of his own ! I could listen to him all day long he could do a (adamoke )like Kelly Clarkson does and then I could listen to him talk and sing every day !!! Love him

[@marybraiterman9577]

I am 69 and appreciate your share. I hope you come to NH or MA with Queen so I can celebrate YOU and the fabulous Queen group. I feel you honor Freddie. Queen brings you up front where you deserve to be❤ I am all over utube reading and listening to you. 👏👏👏👏👏

[@davidmorris8319]

Oh i love the new direction he's teasing here. Can't wait to see/hear where this is going!!

[@yvonnescholey8972]

It’s only recently that I have taken an interest in Adam Lambert I knew of him but never heard him sing, he is amazing. Listening to him talk honestly and openly about himself shows great courage and integrity. I really admire him and I wish him continued success 😊❤️

[@bonniedavenport-hosler3861]

I LOVE Adam He’s phenomenal! Very intelligent, superb vocalist and a TRAILBLAZER. I’m behind you 100% Adam.

[@bobihembd6250]

Adam I'm a huge queen fan. At first it was like no no nobody can fill the lead roll that was Freddie's roll. Took me to actually watch you and now love you. My mom never let me do anything as a kid so I was never ever able to go to a concert let alone my favorite band queen. I hope someday I will be able to go to one of your concerts as an older person this is probably just dreaming. Just want to let you know love what you do what you stand for. Keep on keeping on. Bobi

[@judit1783]

Love his voice both singing and speaking. His braveness too.

[@CeremmoniesbyJudith]

I've loved his music since Idol, and this October, saw him with Queen twice. He is a beautiful soul and hugely talented singer & showman.

[@JonahIronstone]

Years ago, after watching the video for "For Your Entertainment," a friend of mine said, "I've always been straight as an arrow, but those eyebrows have me reconsidering." Thank you for sharing your story with us. (And yeah, you have some seriously amazing eyebrow magic happening.)

[@Dragonlass68]

Adam Lambert a natural ginger, I've been wondering if his eyebrows are also ginger. ❤

[@Hannahbelleectere]

It's crazy to see how much has happened since idol days and I'm still so proud to be a fan of Adam. Thanks for the trip down memory lane!
