Adam Lambert - Come Home - Upright Cabaret

Adam Lambert performs OneRupublic's "Come Home" at Upright Cabaret's 2nd Annual New Year's Eve Blowout at Mark's Restaurant on Dec 31, 2008.

Produced by Chris Isaacson and Shane Scheel, Upright Cabaret is the place for "new generation cabaret' in Southern California. For more info, please visit: www.uprightcabaret.com

Even way back then, Adam knew how to sing with emotion and passion, and how to convey the delicacy and the power of what he was feeling. I’m here in 2024.

[@fosterro]

There's something about this man that I've never heard from anybody else. Once he's in your heart he's there to stay.

[@susanfleming6872]

I agree with you 100 percent. Adam is definitely a Keeper, in the Heart and Soul.🌹❣️.

[@3kijico]

NO ONE sings like Adam....he has a truly special gift. He feels every note he sings..he is a musical genius and will be iconic. So proud to call myself a fan of this amazing, beautiful man ♥

[@debbielough7754]

Thank god he decided to go on Idol...

[@valmacclinchy]

Can't believe it's been 13 years since Adam was on AI. I remember going online and searching up songs he'd done before AI, and I'm so thrilled for him that he's had so much success. His voice is otherworldly. Yet he remains humble in 2022, after 4 albums, solo tours, a decade touring with Queen...What a gem. I know he'll have continued success. Can't wait to see him live again..maybe this year 💖

[@xxxkama7xxx]

What is wrong with becoming iconic? That just means people remember you FOREVER. Talk about you FOREVER. And remember you as being amazing, exceptional, out-standing. Just like they remember Elvis, Freddie, Michael Jackson, David Bowie, Jimi Hendrix and lots more. I think Adam has a BIG icon potential, if he only directs his career properly.

[@svetlanaandrasova6086]

this confirms what i already know - the best singer of the 21 century

[@valmacclinchy]

Yes! 100%

[@ElleMeditates]

Wow. I cried. That boy is so emotionally connected with this song, it is a truly beautiful sight to see. In all honesty, I have not seen a performance packed with this much raw emotion in my entire life. Bravo, Adam Lambert.

[@franswazzle1]

Truer words were never spoken...

[@musicsmylifeandream]

Adam is hands down the most amazing, incredible, phenomenal singer ever to grace the American Idol stage!!!!! He takes my breath away and stops my heart every time he opens his mouth!

[@cjelmo1]

Oh my God, the emotion, you can feel his pain.

[@valmacclinchy]

Adam sings with every fiber of his being, always.

[@cunningdeb3129]

This was one of the first videos I saw of Adam after American Idol and even though five years have passed, I still choke up ... there's no one like him and to me, there never will be

[@store4books]

I cry every time I hear this start. Cabaret songs were so beautiful, wish he'd record them. Such amazing control & passion. Never before.

[@fajdkmjean7871]

He does such a beautiful job on this song. Just perfect

[@AndySchrei]

This performance is ACHINGLY beautiful. The tenderness and purity of the vocals is matched by the raw emotional vulnerability and connection with the material and the audience. VERY few performers that I've ever seen expose this much of themselves, and are this genuine, with the vocal chops to back it up. I hadn't watched this in quite a while, and coming back to it now I'm blown away all over again. BRILLIANT. Whoever thinks his 15 minutes are up have another thing coming; He's just begun!!

[@kiddio86]

Adam sings this with so much emotion and feeling from his heart. His voice is so beautiful and soulful, he is an amazing performer and I believe someday he will be iconic. I love him and will always follow him.

[@susiervelez7463]

I’m obsessed with this human. To think I discovered him on AI 11 years ago. Fan for life. Love Adam 💚

[@piano_for_soul]

Adam is absolutely the best singer in the world!!!stunnin

[@susiervelez7463]

Always coming back

[@palmtreebridge135]

2020 still listening to Adams beautiful voice

[@witnessinglife]

He sings this so beautifully. ♥

[@EttaFinta32]

I come back to see this many,many times. I do this simply because I need to get lost in the beauty of Adam's vocals!

[@raisalapshina2638]

Even then Adam was THE BEST!!! Of course he is born to SIGN!!! This is the MEANING of his life and the only way he can be HAPPY!!!

[@BamBam112581]

There is no song he can't sing........and in most cases sing it with much more power and raw emotion!!!!! Love this song and I love Adam's version better!!!!

[@nlb555]

This is up there with my favorite Adam performances; he makes this song live. Everything about it is perfect.

[@susiervelez7463]

Back to see this beautiful human being sing from his soul

[@codywritesongs]

its been 10 fucking years

[@SJL41]

How can anyone not feel the emotion that Adam puts into his singing , his voice is amazing the way he can change it to suit any song ... That performance was so touching I can't imagine that anyone who saw that live , did not connect with him ...BEAUTIFUL :)

[@rhondaosborne7818]

[@SkyblueHippie]

Coming back here in 2024. Still as devastatingly beautiful as ever. (and still hope this track will make it into his album someday). ❤

[@sk8085-b]

[@valmacclinchy]

Most versatile vocalist!!

[@gravilar]

❤ Looking back, crying, dying, loving this man even more and more!!!! ❤

[@SarahVerne]

This was when I fell in love with Adam Lambert.

[@MsSharon1031]

Adam Lambert is the most brilliant male singer of our generation if not several generations. His control of his voice is amazing.

[@user-od3ro4kd7k]

May 6,2024 Adam is Iconic!!!!! He is Perfection Personified and His Voice Is Beyond Reproach Without A Doubt. Adam has remained Humble, yet he is incredibly special sexy stunning stylish sensual classy hot 🔥 eloquent and extremely Handsome. Simply a good human being. Always, Susan 🌹 I am wishing you a Lifetime Filled Full Of Strength Success Happiness and Love Adam, Always 🌺

[@knighth]

OMG it's David Bowie on Adam's shirt. This makes me so emotional. RIP Bowie.

[@BmCreate2000]

id love to hear a studio version of this song. always been my favorite from Adam.

[@cathysidol]

Reminded of this today , came back to view, just to say I love everything about you, and how your career has progressed All Well Deserved Adam! U will ROCK USA this summer with Queen

[@Carolibra]

Absolutely stunning. One of my favorite performances EVER.

[@carollambies4281]

I love you Adam.

[@store4books]

So beautiful, then he rocks, & turns it on and up...Adam can do it all and I love all of it and him. I wonder if he ever dared to dream that one day he'd be working with his idols of music; Queen, Ryan Tedder, Matt Bellamy, P!nk & the list goes on.

[@Glambert345]

He touches my heart.

[@cristyeverywhere]

well Adam, you'd been waiting for so long, sooo long, and now he's home. No more waiting. He's home.

[@taurean420]

Why was he so emotional that day? I wanna hold him!

[@halag]

Crying here

[@dkurbel]

Hands down:The BEST vocals on the planet...Artists like Adam don't come along too often... He does other ppl's music BETTER than the original artist, See Starlight sung by Adam: WoW!

[@angelpresley1688]

This song and I Can't Make You Love Me have been two of my favorites by Adam since I first heard him on Idol and found these videos. He has the most amazing voice and I love the emotion in both of those songs. I was blessed to attend some of the shows during Adam's Glam Nation Tour and I just bought tickets to see him again in Atlanta March 8th for The Original High tour! Needless to say, I can't wait!

[@paigebartsch3163]

He cried at the end. Oh my lord, im dead! This was so amazing!

[@susiervelez7463]

Adam singing from his soul ❤️

[@Glam1877]

this is amazing, im so proud of him he's gone so far

[@MsSwwood]

I still want to hug him. Who the heck wouldn't come home to ADAM?

[@sk8085-b]

[@blugram713]

The hair and clothes change but the voice remains the same . . amazing . .can't wait for Queen+ Adam concert this summer . .wish I could afford more . .hoping for an Adam concert in 2015

[@store4books]

Desperately hoping that he has support for his 3rd album & does a worldwide tour. Need Adam's music. Can't wait for Queen, it fills a need right now.

[@taurean420]

Oh he sings even better now, far better. It's more cohesive

[@cristyeverywhere]

The emotion he puts into this song grabbed me three years ago and hasn't let go. And don't get me started on his voice...

[@wintersky25]

Adam is a daily reminder that love is love. It doesn't matter who you love, wether its a man or woman. the important thing is to have that love in your life. He is beautiful in every way. Gotta love adam.

[@kiddio86]

This is so beautiful and I can feel his pain. He is an amazing singer and I can't wait til I finally get to see him live on stage with Queen this summer!

[@Deify52]

This man is a dream...

[@steveom59]

I dont get how anyone can dislike Adam Lambert. Dont like his choice of music? That is a matter of personal taste. I have followed him since the beginning and have never heard ANYONE, that is NOT ONE PERSON who has ever met Adam Lambert say even one bad thing about him. he is totally charming, sincere, honest, caring, loyal...I could go on and on.

[@lulumariemissypu]

thank you ADAM for such a beautiful song. My son who's in the Navy was deployed to Middle East-please pray for Reuben and all the Military abroad and here at home they are all heros.

[@brucehardie4334]

41 people are deaf, so beautiful, such a talent, amazing

[@gladdelrosario1569]

i always come back to listen to this....

[@ndg37]

This is a fantastic song and performance! I am a huge Adam fan and I am 72 yrs old. He is so talented and so good looking. He will be wonderful regardless of which path he takes. He will be a rock superstar, but I hope he will also continue to do his beautiful ballads.

[@ZeZuZ]

My eyes get all blurry every time I listen to him singing this song. It's so beautiful. VOTE for ADAM next week.

[@laihiu]

how can a song be so soul-soothing and energizing at the same time? :)

[@store4books]

It's called artistry, honesty and passion together. He's got it. Meat Loaf had that too.

[@MsGlamLamb]

I love the person who recorded this!

[@chezzasan]

Very rarely do we encounter one whose face n singing n body language speak volumes.. He would be such a great actor too. He is able to express himself so effectively it's so natural to him. I'll always have a soft spot for him. Adam is a rare gem

[@jazzy19001]

Adam blew everyone away tonight - even Smokey Robinson gave him a standing ovation and had tears in his eyes!! He did a ballad and everyone loves him!!!

[@store4books]

@GloriThompson & others; maybe you don't know, there are many types of love. I love Adam for who he is an EXTREMELY talented, sweet, sensitive humble man. Straight or gay, I couldn't love him more. I used to scout bands, this guy is AMAZING!!! I'm not going to sleep with him straight or narrow, who the **** cares?? I don't.

[@throughmyeyes7217]

Is he crying at the end of the song? I was crying at the end...

[@glambert5763]

Dear Adam, thank you for being who you are! You're amazing! I love you!

[@arygore]

It's amazing how EVERY SINGLE WORD he sings and speaks can bring so much joy and magic. I adore Adam Lambert.

[@89Sannetjj]

[@judihart9658]

[@BoomFan2]

i just want to tell Adam's mom and dad thanks for raising such an incredible son. his music touches us.

[@BlueBlondie35]

Aww, I love this song by him. Especially around 3:20 when he says " And everything I cant be, is everything you should be!" I just looooove the way he says "Be!" I got mad love for this guy!!!

[@DontSigh]

I wonder if he really was singing about Brad.

[@chezzasan]

I wonder what he was going through... to pick songs like Come Home and I Can't Make You Love Me for New Year's Eve :'(

[@kerrykolsch2127]

Cheeks?

[@pearltaylor7085]

Kerry Kolsch I think I would have to agree with you. One never forgets their first real love...

[@KittenKaySera]

I cried when Adam didn't win and I am 45 years old! I just LOVE HIM!!!!!!!!

[@CrazyCircleOriginal]

Can you just imagine being lucky enough to have been sitting in the audience and witnessing this gorgeous song being performed live?

[@paigebartsch3163]

[@jimmoncrieff]

An unforgettable performance and performer!! Each generation, an iconic voice is discovered who can touch, inspire, entertain, and captivate anyone within earshot ...Adam is here now and I am thankful to have witnessed his genesis. To have such a natural gift, he must be a songbird reincarnated.

[@2009Marjorie]

I will vote and vote for Adam! He is such an adorable person. And nice too. He helps the other idols if they ask him to help. I pray that you win! :-) Adam fans we should come together for Adam. Vote for him!

[@justpeachy352002]

I have to watch this video A LOT. It reminds me of my husband who is in Iraq. It is the perfect song to describe how I feel. Since I couln't carry a tune in a bucket, I rely on Adam to convey my sentiments for me. I have sent this link to my husband as a video love letter. The raw emotion makes me cry. As I have said in other blogs, his voice pierces my soul.

[@BlueSpirit3743]

God, how can you not love this Guy? He is just such an amazing singer such an inspiration. You can see it in him, hear it in his voice, how hard he's tried to get where he is today. God I hope he wins, for the Music Industry's sake and for the worlds so we can hear his talent on a big scale. Adam, you rock and don't let anyone tell you otherwise! Blue

[@deedeegee1]

Adam Lambert has the greatest voice in the world; there's no one remotely close to what this man achieve vocally. And Adam is an amazing man who was brought to us for many reasons, and is an inspiration to us all. Special doesn't even begin to cover just how an astonishing person Adam is; both musically and otherwise Adam Lambert is going to be iconic and a legend in his own right. I will love this man to my dying day!

[@shiningyoonie]

This song is so moving and so beautiful! Great vocal from Adam! I love this performance!

[@yougogod]

He got so into the song that my inner soul was so touched by him, i actually almost cried out... Gosh, he's hot, he's cute, and his singing rocks, and he's a soul-connector! He really should do this song in American Idol Season 8! Adam Lambert, i'll always be your fan! No matter what! Rock on! And best of luck to you always! (:

[@AriesGlamourGirl]

PLEASE ! - PLEASE! - VOTE FOR ADAM THE NEXT TWO TUESDAYS - FOR THE FULL TWO HOURS, IF YOU WANT HIM TO WIN!!! He has to have the VOTES to WIN. Let's not let him down again, once in the bottom 3 was scary enough. VOTE - VOTE - VOTE!! WE ALL LOVE YOU ADAM!!

[@cmfjpurple]

his singing is OUTSTANDING & AWESOME. this song is so touching, I wish he would record this on his album.... just dreaming. he has a set of pipes on him that gives him such a vocal range. those who has a problem with his preference in life; they need to get a life and let adam continue to live his. I am 50+ yrs old and I love everything abt Adam. his talent out shines everything else you want to think of about him. let the man sing and heal others in the process.

[@hazeleyeballs]

I love Adam. He is absolutely amazing. It has got to be illegal in 20 states to be that great of a singer and be so gorgeous at the same time. He's pretty much perfect. It just kills me to know that he's been heart-broken so badly. Poor guy. Love him.

[@rainiernew]

What a gentle, beautiful man this is. What an amazing voice. He reaches my soul.

[@DaisyJane15]

How is it possible that someone out there doesn't want him? How could anyone hear him sing this way....and not run to him.........My God............

[@arygore]

I don't think anyone has saved themselves from tears. It's completely inevitable. WOW. Tomorrow is your night Adam, shine as bright as you can like the beautiful star you are, the world is in your hands. :) i love you so muchh.

[@adamazing0581]

Adam needs your support on American Idol....please vote for him if you like his performance on very Tuesday. Very much appreicated all the Adam fans!! :D

[@ali4adam5282]

When Adam sings about what touches his heart he breaks hearts, touches souls, is at once so broken-open vulnerable and magnificently powerful, and somehow heals us in the process. I don't know what you call this, how or why he can do this, but Adam has hit a note that the world is responding to that has nothing to do with ratings, awards, record sales, or marketing. Adam has a gift and is a gift. Universe, thank you from the millions of hearts he has stolen.

[@carloserodrod]

I am from Panama, Republic of Panama and this has been really addictive. I wait throught you tube and american idol website perfomances every wednesday and listen to his songs all the time every day...and watch show saturdays and sundays...AI can be watched in all Latin America by cable TV. We also support Allison because her parents are from El Salvador but Adam definitively is a natural super star. Go Adam you inspire us!.

[@ciciring]

I can't help crying. He is such genuinely immersed into every song he performs. Adam, how I wish you would never get hurt again. You've been through so much to stick to your dream and finally get a chance there. you're a sweet, honest and sensitive person with a strong heart and crazy talent. we glamberts will give you the crown you deserve!

[@TheRutledgest]

When Adam sings (2:01 - 2:08) - "HOPEFULLY THE HATES SUBSIDES AND THE LOVE CAN BEGIN", he smiles as he puts his hand to his heart. It is that rare ability he has to connect to us that makes us feel the power of his words.He has said many times, in many different ways, that LOVE TRANSCENDS EVERYTHING, and that is the message of his music.
