Adam. is always so articulate....He's an ideal performer to do interviews!

[@susanbarnes9800]

Agreed! He is a joy to listen to. No constant um, like, like, um 😂 He is a very good interview.

[@werizukowska8069]

Yeah he knows what he wants to say his choice of words is beautiful

[@laurenmariehutton]

Thank You For Having Adam On! He Looks So Good!❤

[@jeffervescence]

I have so much respect for him, very talented and gifted vocalist, artist and performer. Love that Adam is getting rave reviews for his portrayal as the Emcee on ‘Cabaret’. Cannot wait to see what projects he’ll be working on in the future.

[@MarilynPackham-nd1ix]

Great to see Adam on the show, please go see him in Cabaret, he’s killing it 💙

[@aileenspence3080]

I’d love to see it. I hope he’ll go on tour with it

[@Eeegored]

Huge fan of Adam and the play. I am too sick to get to New York. I wish plays were filmed for those of us who cannot travel to New York. I am sad to miss this. His voice is amazing.

[@footballfan28-ss]

Why do some people get so much attention and not talented people like Adam lambert.... One hardly hears off him or from him but he is talented

[@aileenspence3080]

Adam is such a lovely down to earth man with an incredible talent

[@Nancym1601]

Adam looks so great

[@astroabbi]

...and he's so articulate.

[@JosiannePusterla]

Great interview! He is so articulate. Very knowledgeable. Beautiful artist . Beautiful human. Love him.

[@AlinaSodet]

Adam is the best super great artist in the World. He looks so magnificent great today. We love adore Adam ✨🌟💞🏆🌿❤

[@OH-fz3qr]

He is absolutely wonderful. He has always been a theater kid. I love the way he interviews. He is so concise. Adam has such incredible talent as an entertainer. He learned so much from his yime with Queen. His history is long and lauded. Bless Adam. ❤

[@LyndaChiovitti-xb1sl]

My all time favourite American Idol contestant. HE WAS ROBBED!!! But, the sweetest revenge? Adam graciously showed America that they got it wrong. BRAVO. APPLAUSE. KUDOS. All of us are sending you much love and best wishes for continued SUCCESS IN EVERY ENDEAVOUR and PATH you choose. Long live Queen, our dearest Freddie, and our exceptionally talented, Adam Mitchel Lambert! ❤U 🌈

[@jv-ep2tc]

AMERICA HAS BEEN KNOWN TO GET IT WRONG. for sure......

[@marshamoore5700]

I absolutely adore Adam! He is so talented and versatile and unique. He doesn’t just sing. He embodies a song and sings with his whole body. He is so articulate and insanely talented.

[@susannesteinbock1639]

He looks gorgeous and I love his sense of humour, his intelligence and his humanity! He fits perfectly to Queen.

[@susanlesh821]

I wish I could see you in this! I’ve followed your career since American Idol, Queen etc. I’m an old senior but you always make me in awe of your talent!

[@bwaygirl2011]

We are the demographic who started the term "Glamberts." LOL I heard Adam say once that a large portion of his fanbase is like having a huge group of second mothers who are proud and appreciative. That's totally paraphrased. I thought, yep - I'm old; I'm in that group! I love him- his immense talent combined with kindness and humility. A rare combo.

[@ellenfields8825]

I was amazed how great he was when he sang with Queen! He can sing!!!!

[@tobylynnerobbins6683]

Adam looks 15 years yòunger and he was great looking before and his talent is unequaled.

[@musa-too]

Adam is always amazing and the best 🔥

[@ninabuzanova9651]

ADAM is phenomenal multitalented artist and he deserves huge BRAVO for what he gives to the world through his amazing work as unique entertainer ❤🎉

[@cam23417]

I ❤ Adam so much!! I want to go to NY and see him!!!

[@bwaygirl2011]

He killed the role!

[@intotheunknown1991]

Adam is definitely a powerhouse ❤ he's such a wonderful person and I'm glad he's my idol

Impressive career. ❤❤❤Adam Lambert!

[@sharonlaudat3297]

Saw Eddie in Cabaret and I love it. Really looking forward to seeing Adam as well. What a talented artist and voice

[@yvonnebazor3200]

I saw this show. AMAZING! WOW!!!

[@karinaflores28]

Love Adam !!

[@lindacoy6187]

I would love to see this show!

[@dankusner]

I have seen the current production of Cabaret 4 times both before and after the election and can confirm the audience laughter at the end of “if you could see her through my eyes”. The laughter happened at two shows I attended - one before and one after the election. The first time, it seemed to catch the current emcee, Adam Lambert (who is Jewish), by surprise. The second time it happened, to my delight, Adam immediately turned toward the person who laughed and barked out an aggressive and scarily mocking laugh back at him. As if to show how ugly and despicable that person’s reaction was and shame them. The effect was awesome while keeping in character and without disrupting the flow of the show. As an audience member who was horrified by the laughter that went without a response the first time, it was an inspiring feeling to see what “fighting back” looks like in real-time.

[@Dragonlass68]

❤❤❤Fabulous Adam Lambert.

[@barbararancourt996]

Freaking ❤️ love Adam ❤️ he so awesome ❤

[@judyjohnson9743]

He looks much better like this

[@camillep3631]

He is his own person, it's HIS life

[@sharklover22]

Adam always looks great in my opinion. Style wise he is like David Bowie and Boy George.

[@werizukowska8069]

So talented and lovely not to mention he's great with words just perfect for an interview

[@lydiaazevedo813]

🌻💛Adam

[@helentaylor4886]

I must admit I like seeing him clean shaven no makeup it just takes me back to his early days he never seems to age .love him dearly ❤❤❤❤❤

[@victoriagrove5344]

Love you so much, sweet GG❤❤❤

[@camillep3631]

He has also done some amazing voice overs!!! Emperor Maximus in Playmobile: The Movie he is so freaking funny also Tales: Dark and Grimm- he's hilarious as The Devil and in MegaMind he is Machiavillian, also, hilarious

[@Dragonlass68]

❤❤❤

Ahhhdamm❤❤❤

He’s so pretty🥹

Today is nice and warm in the Western part of 🇺🇸. Maligayang Pasko 🎄 TODAY ❤

[@noleadam]

😍😍👏👏😍😍

[@erictheisen3203]

He looks for him.

[@alexkx8599]

Sure wish they would at least record a ton of music consisting of both new songs, re-recordings, and cover songs to at the very least put into the vaults. You all say you love this guy so much but no-one of you bought, "Live Around The World" c.d. or d.v.d.

[@oceansunset6147]

How intimidating … being interviewed by 4 people!

[@ManChan-w5p]

Freddie didn't do Broadway.

[@lstapes7]

😂🤣😆 🙌🏻

[@Dragonlass68]

No, he didn't. Remember USA critics panned Killer Queen, his ode to drag queens.

[@ManChan-w5p]

@@Dragonlass68 But he lived in the 80s in Manhattan on the east side in a luxury apartment. He met Liza Minnelli.

[@SharonZarrow-te7qv]

He lost a lot of weight!

[@PatchesMother]

So talented but doesn't do anything for his fans in Canada. It's sad Canadian fans have to travel to see him perform his music as last I checked the artist is supposed to fly to Canada to perform his music not Canadian fans travel to America to see him perform his music. I went to a music store where I live & 0 spot for Adam Lambert exists anymore where his CDs used to be & nothing on Vinyl either it's like as if he doesn't exist in Canada anymore.

[@canadaglennrz]

Ozempic has worked wonders with him.

[@genome3854]

He actually said he took Mounjaro to help get Covid weight off.

[@lilyliyana2784]

he use majora if im not mistaken

[@cam23417]

He took Mounjaro

[@canadaglennrz]

Mounjaro and Ozempic are basically the same thing, just different name brands. And of you count all of the weight he lost by scraping off all of the makeup, that alone is about 6 pounds.

[@ritarodriguez4845]

@@canadaglennrzOzempic gave him acid reflux so Doctor prescribed Mounjaro and much better.

[@daodejing81]

Love Adam, and I love Trump!!

[@LyndaChiovitti-xb1sl]

LOVE, LOVE, LOVE Adam too. Trump? NOT so much. DUMPTRUMP

[@daodejing81]

@LyndaChiovitti-xb1sl That's because you don't really know Trump. You know only what the media tells you about him. They lie, and most of America realizes it, and that's why Trump even received the popular vote, and won all of the battleground states.

[@WilliamInternational]

How can anyone watch this crap?

[@pm7734]

Worse thing to happen to queen since Freddie died

[@sharklover22]

Well Queen disagrees. Move on.

[@lstapes7]

Not only do Brian and Roger disagree, but thousands of happy concert-goers, critics, and other professionals disagree. As for your opinion, I am surprised that you took time to watch and added to that by taking even a few second to make that comment. And you wasted lots of your time and money, too, because you must have watched several videos at the least and possibly attended a concert to make a personally and directly informed opinion.

[@Dragonlass68]

You are 15years late with your ridiculous drama and opinion. Furthermore, Sir Brian May, Roger Taylor, John Deacon and Freddie Mercury's Phoenix Trust Fund Team chose Paul Rodgers as frontman from 2004 to 2008 and Adam Lambert from 2011 to present. In 2014, Freddie Mercury's mum voiced her wish that Adam Lambert be QUEEN's permanent frontman, she and Kash were special guests during QUEEN and Adam Lambert's 2015 Nottingham Concert. Freddie's family and friends respects Adam Lambert and have been inviting him to their homes for special occasions and events.

[@sharonlaudat3297]

Freddie would be the first to say "Move on, darling!" Adam & Queen is keeping the music alive! Wise choice.

[@jd4514]

jeez bro, Liberace called, he said tone it down.

[@LyndaChiovitti-xb1sl]

Seriously? That's like comparing apples to oranges. Not to mention, their styles are decades apart. BTW, you can't honestly be a true fan, 'cause if you knew Adam's earlier stuff, he has TONED IT DOWN.

[@Dragonlass68]

Liberace would have wished during his lifetime he had Adam Lambert's finese, voice and natural showmanship. Furthermore, Liberace was never considered as one of worldwide LBTQ + Community leaders. He never had to fight for the LGBTQ + Community rights, never had 5 solo career Albums. Adam Lambert is a GLOBAL SUPERSTAR, Vocalist, Actor, Songwriter with his own 44 personal Awards. Adam Lambert's 2nd solo career Album debuted #1 on BILLBOARD 200 in 2012, the same year he insured his voice for 48million $ which eventually was increased to over 50million $. Since 2010, Adam Lambert has been tirelessly speaking eloquently for his Community's rights, tirelessly raising funds for his own and other LBTQ Foundations without monetary compensation. London's ITV released an Adam Lambert Documentary discussing with Legendary Musicians, Sir Brian May and Roger Taylor and with LBTQ + Artists the struggles and criticisms they've faced (including what Freddie Mercury endured from homophobes who hounded him 'till death), to attain respect and be afforded equal rights to realize their dreams, passion and aspirations in the brutal Global Music and Film Industries.
