Adam Lambert - Sleepwalker BRITS REACTION

[@lillywhite0707]

Queen wanted him right after American Idol, but he turned them down because he wanted to do his tour first. This is called courage and self-confidence. You should check out every song from that tour. The tour is a masterpiece.

[@СтрелокМеткий-д6ф]

The guy has one of the best voices l've ever heard in the past 50 yeard. I was brouģht up on 70s 80's rock and when sings that stuff he is untouchable

[@kathrynsterley2288]

Love this and Adam's voice! He is amazing! I can't get enough of him!!! The best voice ever!!!

[@ralphdupre357]

Love “SleepWalker” my favorite song from Adam’s debut album 💿

[@christinerowley5032]

Thanks for spotlighting Adam! He was awesome back then and definitely has gotten better and better with time...just love him ❤

[@karinaflores28]

This is one of my favorite live performances from Adam. !!!!

[@ninabuzanova9651]

ADAM is phenomenal artist and huge personality.There are no words to describe how talented and progressive this human! Just goosebumps!

[@miykoskinen]

Madi nailed the song suggestion! "Sleepwalker" and "Runnin" are two of my favorite Adam songs. I even recommend Runnin' for you guys to check. I don't remember if he's already sung it full at a show, but you can listen to the studio version. Even though it's not a live version, I get goosebumps every time I listen to it.

[@celtcwrtr]

Orianti was his opening act for the stateside portion of the Glam Nation tour. (Adam is the first American Idol contestant to solo tour internationally after leaving the show.) Monte Pittman was the guitarist & music director of Glam Nation (Madonna's longtime touring guitarist, also from heavy metal band Prong... Adam fronted a band with him before Idol.) Brian May is recorded saying that after this highly successful tour they asked Adam to front Queen live.

[@anniek4919]

So good! Keep the Madison requests coming- She has amazing taste!!

[@MadishapesF]

Aww 🥰 ❤

[@veronicamatchett8227]

@@MadishapesF I agree with one exception -- he sang SOAKED that night; it is my favorite and he is about as theatrical as I have ever seen him during any performance - the audience was mesmerized, as was I.

[@wjones1499]

My favorite solo Lambert song. He adds a lot of vocal gymnastics to this live version, but the studio version was still very much a rocker, especially with Orianthi's blazing solo. Great version and good reaction.

[@firefighterchick]

Nice choice Maddie. Part of what makes him successful is his confidence on stage and that he is comfortable in his own skin. I recognize the guitarist you mentioned BP2. She is brilliant at her craft. I liked it better than some others because it is more rock than pop. He's brilliant in them all so far. I get some Prince in there as well but the song and his voice remind me of someone else as well that of course I can't place at the moment. Actually a bit of a blending of Prince and Freddie Mercury too.

[@cristinacaetano6012]

Brilhant performance ❤ what a voice 🥰 love Adam Lambert

[@deborahcornell171]

So glad you're reacting to Adam but now you REALLY need to see him sing "Believe" at The Kennedy Center Honors (honoring Cher). It's one of his most magical, moving moments. 🩵✨️🩵✨️🩵✨️🩵✨️🩵✨️🩵✨️🩵✨️🩵

[@anneharton5013]

I love Sleepwalker. IMHO Adam is always a 10!!!!

[@einnanoslen]

The live version of Sleepwalker is my FAAAAAVORITE!!! 🙌 🙌 🙌 There are fan videos out there from other performances during the Glam Nation Tour where he pushes his voice even more than in this one. His talent is unreal.

[@janulake]

Yes, this is rock Adam, and if you listen to it one more time, you'll give it 11/10, then 15/10, ... 20/10 ... I love Sleepwalker and with every listen more ❤❤‍🔥❤

[@shaaadyz6381]

My favorite Adam tour so far! And my favorite song too! ❤ This tour was like 113 dates in a span of 6 months, right after idol.

[@MadishapesF]

I wish everyone of the 113 was recorded 😊

[@shaaadyz6381]

@@MadishapesF They are many YT vids before. Unfortunately, some of the accounts was deleted by YT just last year. Even the biggest Adam fan account which TALC. Imagine having recorded most perf of AL since 2009. All original videos too.

[@dudieb]

This song is one of 14 songs on his album For Your Entertainment and there is not one song on this album that I don’t love. That is so unique and Pink is the only other artist where that has happened to me. You might absolutely love one or more songs on an album but not like others. I think Adam could sing anything and make it epic. I also think that not being “the right kind of gay” has kept him from super stardom. Thank goodness Queen does not have those hang ups so we were gifted two iterations of this incredible group and both are extraordinary.

[@victoriavelvet3689]

He got noticed when singing whole lotta love on American idol by Spike from Queen.

[@MadishapesF]

Thank you for the reaction! This is one of my favorite Adam songs and especially love this performance. The energy and intensity he brings is as BP1 said, enthralling to watch. I literally can not look away

[@BritPopsReact]

It was a great choice and so looking forward to Adam being a feature on our channel :) thanks Madi!

That's my favorite version of Adam, really. I miss the Glam Nation tour 🥹

[@MadishapesF]

Me too, on both fronts

[@colleengobbe754]

This man is a once in a lifetime talent ❤❤

[@sallycook]

I saw Adam perform this at the Tivoli Theatre Brisbane Australia in 2010. The Tiv is such an intimate venue (maybe 1500 standing room only) that in my position I could almost reach out and touch him. Never again will I get the chance to see him so close up and personal!

[@marshamoore5700]

This was from Adam’s first tour (worldwide too!) after Idol, called the Glam Nation Tour. His guitarist, Monty Pitman, was Madonna’s guitarist too. It was dramatic for sure. Hard to describe his talent sometimes. He is really one of a kind, always was and still is! Thanks guys! Keep them coming. Quite a catalogue.

[@marshamoore5700]

Adam’s catalogue of his own solo performances is quite impressive. Please keep them coming!

[@MadishapesF]

@@marshamoore5700his solo catalog is sooo GOOD. Such a shame more people don’t know about it

I swear Adam can sing anything with total perfection ! It does not appear you have reviewed this one yet, Adam Lambert - Performing "Believe" by Cher - 41st Annual Kennedy Center Honors, You will not be disappointed !

This is one year after appearing on Season 8 of American Idol in 2009.

[@sandrasomera]

I love this song! And this performance

[@marshamoore5700]

Pure Adam Lambert Glam Rock! He switches octaves with ease. No George Michael vibe here. Adam Lambert is one of a kind in my opinion.

[@bruschmidt9943]

Maybe his look has a hint of Boy George from the early 80s.

[@toramenor]

If you're really interested in the timeline of how and why Adam Lambert joined Queen, there is a terrific documentary called "The Show Must Go On: The Queen and Adam Lambert Story", which details everything about what happened with Brian May and Roger Taylor after Freddie Mercury died, how they kept Queen alive and eventually found Adam Lambert. It is a joyful celebration of their music and talent, and a beautiful story of how all these artists came together to captivate the world once more. Lots of snippets from their performances, interviews, and it is just a great documentary. Probably a bit too long for you to react on this channel (2hs or so), but maybe you'd want to watch it for yourself anyway.

[@BritPopsReact]

@toramenor Hello and thank you for all the information. I will certainly check out the documentary. Thank you for taking the time to post the comment.

You should check out his performance of West coast live in American Idol.

Listen to soaked from his first album also it at the other end of his style

[@cheryljohnson1658]

Love this song. A shame more of his singles don't do better. I of course think he's always a 10. 😊 Believe at the moment is a legitimate reques for your next reaction. Love these surprises but you have unending choices ahead for your interest. I would bet my patreon contribution a rating below 9 will never happen. Just sayin'...❤❤❤❤

[@DoloresWeatherspoon]

Madison..dont forget Soaked in Indianapolis, please. Thanks again.

[@kacey72456]

Glam Rock. Queen was on American Idol final the year he was on and he got to sing with them. They kept in touch with Adam after that, and when they performed at the EMA’s they invited him to go over and sing with them. The rest is history. He is putting out a new album in July of club tunes.

[@Tara_S125]

Might I suggest Holding out for a hero - originally sung by Bonnie Tyler. Whadaya want from me was one of his first singles after American Idol back in 2009

[@gillhedworth7552]

I love your show and u two guys, but please please don’t keep comparing Adam to anyone else. Adam is a one off, a hugely talented, a one off and unique Artiste. He can sing absolutely anything and any style, he can sing, dance, act, and has been interviewed all over the world. He is very eloquent and intelligent, kind and respectful. I do love your show. Have u heard Adam with Queen ‘Who wants to live forever’ Amazing. ,,,

[@lordlockdown64]

Nice one.

[@SabrinaCatlin]

If you want to hear Adam Lambert's voice in all its purity, listen to him at age 22 singing Come to Me, Bend to Me from Brigadoon. There is no video, but the sound is decent. kzbin.info/www/bejne/enu8qqSwitdpoLc He sang like an angel then as he does now. I love the songs he sings now, his own and the Queen greats. I would love to hear him cover some Patti LaBelle (Teach Me Tonight) or Mammas and Poppas (California Dreaming), or even one of Patsy Cline's wonderful ballads like Crazy or I Fall to Pieces, and make them his own. He could sing the phone book and I'd be mesmerized.

[@tundiel]

[@SashanMusArt]

Nothing to do with Prince. Sleepwalker was written by Ryan Tedder, Aimee Mayo & Chris Lindsey for Adam’s debut album ‘For Your Entertainment’. 8.2. Points, 🙄 seriously, against who? This was the Glam Nation Tour 2009/10), 100 shows in North America, Asia, Australia, & Europe. If you want more early Adam, he joined the cast of ‘Glee’ for Season 5 & blew everyone’s socks off singing the Lady Gaga penned song Marry the Night, here’s a link: kzbin.info/www/bejne/jofYkIpsaMqdepYsi=9xHBFS5J3hElOZ26. Big Fan of AL since American ldol (before which he’d been performing and singing in clubs, on a cruise ship, and in musicals since the age of 10). Wrote & co-wrote many of his own early songs. Saw him live singing the songs from his last album, ‘High Drama’, plus his hilarious Muffin Man rendition of Believe at The Royal Albert Hall last June, absolutely phenomenal. Never any auto tune or digital enhancement required for AL’s vocals. I❤MK
