[@anniek4919]

I can’t believe he wasn’t discovered even earlier than he was. Epic!!

[@GetWellSoonR.E.M.]

This man stayed in the soprano tessitura the entire time! He’s freakin CRAZY! This song is something a female gospel soprano would be at home singing in terms of range, and this MAN ate it up and left no crumbs!

[@chezzasan]

Imagine this was right before he went for Idol audition. He looked so plain like a boy-next-door on Idol. The judges and viewers had NO IDEA he is tame by day and a beast by night! It's really shocking to see what he can transform to when he's standing there on the stage. So effin versatile! Amazing!

[@julicooke4266]

danger by day, evil in the night.

[@pamelawilliams9043]

IKR!!! Adam looked so angelic on IDOL UNTIL he did Ring of Fire and ALL OF THAT SEXINESS just oozed out of him and the rest is history and still in the making!! I wish Adam would rock out a song like this on his new CD with "Feel Something" on it!!

[@jenarambhujoo9434]

BEST SINGER EVER. HANDS DOWN. NO ARGUMENTS.

[@carlitos3000ful]

Yes im so agry with you..he is the fucking best .....

[@denismalkavian5575]

+Jena Lambert (GLAMBERT) Yes. He is the best!!!

[@cko1005]

Adam really has an unusual vocal skill and technique. One of Adam's strengths is that he can mix across his range perfectly. His voice is fuller and richer in the High notes. Most male singers, such as Dimash, use head voice and falsetto more on the higher notes, and this makes their voice thinner and less dense. Besides, nobody can do Riffs and overdrive like Adam.

[@pheadrus7621]

LOL.The Idol people must have had there hands full trying to keep this beast in their "it has to be suitable for prime time TV" box.

[@lilianwal2385]

That's the word I was looking for BEAST

[@pinkmilkywaymilk7234]

He really pushed his upper register here MY GOD! No wonder Brian May said Adam can sing higher than Freddie Mercury could in a live environment!

[@Oly1y]

@@GGSOG I think freddie only went up to about c5 live, and adam has gone up to Bb5 live (but not sure if all his high notes are mixed) so yeah it's almost an entire octave

[@pankakesnotstellar]

@@Oly1y B5 actually.

[@Jemoja77]

He's incredible. One thing to remember about the high ranges is that Freddie was a baritone and Adam is a tenor. The high stuff in Queen was usually sung by Roger (especially in BoRap). That said, can you imagine a Freddie/Adam duet? Talk about voices of the Gods.

[@THECAR99]

Sadly very few people realizes that and says his voice is thin.. Well yeah it is he's a tenor

[@drazico]

Whiskyburns Freddie was a tenor, baritone and a soprano and had a higher range. Get your fact straight A duo .. I don’t think Freddie would’ve accepted 🙄

[@svetlanaandrasova6086]

104 people are deaf....this is the greatest and sexiest live performance ive ever seen... i grew up with voices like tyler,mercury,plant coverdale etc and adam is among them one of the best singers ever

[@throughmyeyes7217]

+Svetlana Andrásová He is the most exciting performer I´ve ever ever seen in my life. And I took notice of him just two month ago. Haven´t heard or seen anything like that before. And he´s so incredible brave to perform like that, no matter what other´s could say, without any limit. Unbelievable!

[@svetlanaandrasova6086]

its unbelievable radio stations dont play his music and problem is that he is gay,we all know music industry is homophobic! and he has music for everyone - rock,funky,danc,pop,techno,rnb...i think heis the best live performer of all time...he never misses a note, he can sing as high as only few people thru music history...best singer of the century

[@cko1005]

Adam is the Best male singer of his generation. Adam really has an unusual vocal skill and technique. One of Adam's strengths is that he can mix across his range perfectly. His voice is fuller and richer in the High notes. Most male singers, such as Dimash, use head voice and falsetto more on the higher notes, and this makes their voice thinner and less dense.

[@Starship_X]

100% on point with your analysis. Adam is the most powerful male vocalist we've ever seen.

[@cancelik]

Check out "the Mighty" Mark Boals. Insane, full chest voice high notesup to A5. Malmsteen - Leonardo, Playing with Fire, Gimme Gimme Gimme (ABBA Cover)@@Starship_X

[@AdamLambertHungaryAdamFansNet]

1.000.000 is coming, Glamberts! One of his hottest performances ever!

[@nytemarequeen2365]

He is INSANELY talented, not to mention unwholesomely good-looking =D

[@angelolacap5685]

probably his greatest performance recorded

[@svetlanaandrasova964]

2019 & still comin back to this

[@23Cybergirl]

2020 gang

[@scorpleeon]

Yo 2020. This will never get old.

[@wenxiaozhang5903]

2021

[@valmacclinchy]

2022!!

[@stacia2719]

2024 and still a thrilling and vocally stunning performance.

[@kjhuffman1]

man...wish i had seen this prior to idol. i would have doubled my voting efforts just to get him the record contract! also wish he had made a "rock" album before settling on pop music. i just love him to death!

[@sharonm.6413]

+karla huff Adam didn't have a choice. Record label determines the genre of idols albums. He was born to rock

[@kjhuffman1]

+Sharon M. maybe someday.

[@shrutiyadav3106]

you can never get enough of his singing ! AMAZING !

[@GhostGuitars]

This is live? Jesus.........!

[@Goldflower-ww6qd]

No just Adam.

[@zymotica1]

We'll probably never see this ridiculously flamboyant side of Adam ever again now that the media has a hold on him, which is a shame. Wonderful voice.

Amazing display of power and vocal range! Fucking unbelievable!! Best singer nowadays! He blows my mind!

[@katieryan1626]

I come back to this like every year lol... that note at 3:43 is literally the most beautiful note I've ever heard a man hit

[@sharonm.6413]

Adam hits some notes that I don't think exist. He's a powerhouse vocalist.

[@sharonm.6413]

Best singer in my lifetime for sure. No one can touch his wide range and vocal power. If Slash, Meatloaf and several other musicians think he's phenomenal then it must be true.

[@carlitos3000ful]

Actually the best vocalist in this fucking world (man)wowwwwwww

[@itsmeJD51]

all you haters who says adam is just a typical pop singer, you're fucking clueless!and this is not just what he can do.he can sing from heavy rock, alternative, pop, country, rnb, reggae, blues, opera.his vocal ability is out of this world! wake up people!!!

[@dindacom]

Omg this is his performance before joining American Idol. And he is already freaking fabulous. THE BEST PERFORMANCE EVERR

[@logansluckycluckers457]

+Death Note I love Death Note :D

[@ilianadj5593]

how can he be so sweet and at the same time when you see him sing like this he is just pure passion and hottness :D

[@michaelsantini9784]

The best singer ever

[@exfilerainbow]

i´m a musician and i have to say this adam put me in 70´s where the real music was found, he makes remember in this music robert plant in his great moment, thx adam

[@MsSharon1031]

Adam is so much like Freddie in so many ways. Such a showman.

[@frederick909]

This man can hit any note....and I would def get on the floor on my knees for him

[@sondheimfrk]

96 people have no understanding or appreciation for music and vocalists.

[@bunnyangel81]

This guy is the sexiest guy EVER!!! He has great vocals and a personality that just LIGHTS up the whole stage!! I love him!!!!

[@tweeterpie1]

3:42/3:44 OMG....No wonder they say he's a vocal God

[@TheDreeemr]

what I love about Adam....he's so over the top, out there with this stage performance and look and his incredible voice...and in real life...he's this smart, nice, adorable young guy....amazing!!!

[@19691966tmq]

So he actually was toned down for Glamnation. Ok he had been working on his over the top stage persona for a while. He must have felt like somebody put him in a straight jacket on Idol. The whole AMA performance makes perfect sense now.

[@sunshinestone7486]

I find that TV killed this side of him, and because his shows now are swarmed with minors, plus he has to keep it respectful when he fronts Queen, I fear we will never get to see this side of him again... sigh...

[@19691966tmq]

sunshine stone Adam still gets his fun in. Like when he said he likes it when love sucks and licked the microphone. He said he was gonna tone it down for the Queen shows but he still is out there thrusting his hips and making jokes about nuts.

[@sunshinestone7486]

(I don't know if you know this already)... After the AMAs, everyone gave him a hard time, even his own LGBT community condemned his actions cos they thought he was portraying gay in a wrong way. But he refused to apologize. He said there is no one type of gay, and they should celebrate their 'diversity'. He owned what he did and he owned who he is (that he's gay, and he's a sexual being). He had nothing to hide. Honestly, I have never seen anyone like him. It's not arrogance... It's honesty, bravery, and it's embracing oneself fully, out and proud. I thought to myself, I can respect that... Later, during his Glam Nation Tour, he wore a red 'A' on his hat. The 'A' on one of his other outfits was blue. I have always felt there was something more to the red A... I pondered about it and one day, it just hit me, could it be the 'Scarlet Letter'? How much more meaningful it would be if it WAS the Scarlet Letter, but there was no way of knowing. It wasn't until nearing the end of the tour that a fan prompted that same question which he replied with a - "yes". So it WAS intentional. He WAS wearing his Scarlet Letter, and he's someone who managed to desensitize, educate and finally gain acceptance from people... He WAS the character in the novel. That was the moment I found new respect for him. It's because of this quality in him that won him a place in the history book - of being 'the first openly gay artist to reach the number one spot on Billboard'. He crushed the myth that said a homosexual cannot succeed in the mainstream. He became a pioneer, a trailblazer. Shortly after him, Frank Ocean, Rickey Martin and many more publicly declared they were gay. He's a role model, his success is a testament that we don't have to be afraid of how others judge us, we can be who we are and be proud of who we are. Adam is a true inspiration. (Many fans wrote about their thoughts on Adam's Scarlet Letter. If u guys didn't know and want to find out more, google for 'Adam Lambert's Scarlet Letter').

[@19691966tmq]

sunshine stone Yes I know but I still miss the Adommy kisses. He shouldn't apologize. I he had kissed a girl no one would have said anything except I thought you were gay.

[@svetlanaandrasova6086]

sunshine - you hit the nail! it´s ad, but true, i wantt his adam, real wild adam with the most insane voice in the world....but i guess he´s gone

[@annewas46]

I haven't watched this in years. He is so talented.

[@leeskerette1]

Is it possible that in this performance he hits the highest note of ANY we have heard in the Adam catalog currently available to the public? Yipes! Superhuman, indeed.

[@houou100]

KZbin commenters/Lambert fanbase make me sick. This is one of the most impressive male rock vocal performance in recent memory and you people keep babbling about how he looks or how attractive he is. Holy shit.

[@PollyPeachum3penny]

God, he's amazing. *drools*

[@DARKCROWNVOCAL]

I'm a singer of heavy / rock, and this gives SINGER a good kick in the ass to many singers of the world of metal music.

[@NytemareQueen]

I have never seen such a beautiful young man...

[@chezzasan]

OMG My throat hurts just listening to him! :) How is it possible that he can stay so high for such a long time? He is so powerful n he has such high stamina he never goes out of breath! I'm always in awe with his abilities...

[@traciewalker7532]

Still watching

[@dimanaangelova2759]

this is the sexiest video ever * dead *

[@MsSharon1031]

This is the best live music performance I've ever seen in my lifetime. Adam's range is mind boggling and his vocal control is amazing. Is he even real? No one can top this ever.

[@6falconsue]

Will we ever see this kind of performance from Adam again? Those of us who view this video over and over again do so for a reason--to see the raw, untamed Adam. Bring it back and set us on fire, Dark Lord of the Night!

[@vamosama]

FANTASTIC....to those who criticize Adam...please sing your version of this song upload it and we'll be the judges...show how "easy" it is to do what this guy does.

[@zabuca]

OMG Are you guys hearing this ???? no i mean really!!!!! this man's RANGE is SICK!!!! i thought my speakers would catch a fire !!!!!!!! he ROCKED!!!!!!

[@3ku1]

Wow! I knew he was good, but that range thats crazy, he is probably in the top 3 best singers in history

[@lalacocosuperstar]

The energy and vibe is almost like he's saying, "I OWN this stage." And I love how it seems like he's not paying any attention to the audience because he is so lost in the music and stage dancers, it's really mesmerizing and I am so fascinated - I just wish he would do this more often! I can't wait until his next show; I bet he is going to shock us with extravagances and even BIGGER vocals! I hope! He performs like he's been around for years - and now he has! ♥♥

[@cristyeverywhere]

I just loooovveeee listening to this right after Brigadoon. Only Adam can do this.

[@MsSharon1031]

CTF is epic. Adam's voice is indescribeable.

[@vamosama]

I miss THIS Adam. I want THIS Adam back, the Adam on fire.

[@Gackter]

HOLY SH*T!!! I love this! It's so visual-kei. Adam is like this nice, polite, harmless dude on American Idol and suddenly I see this sexy, strutting devilish side to him. Anyone capable of such transformation is just born to be a star! He is just intriguing! MORE MORE!

[@krazykrazy14100]

why the hell didn't I knee this performance existed!!! O____O his talent is like no other!! those notes!! he is IT!! wow.....I'm gonna watch it again! his looks are such an awesome bonus *--* lolol

[@sharonm.6413]

Can you all imagine if Adam had perform this on American Idol? The roof would have been blown off and America would have been "blown away."

[@maximbashkirov47]

that A5 is absolutely fabulous 😍🤩

[@Amarynthine]

I couldn't concentrate in class without having listening to his song before that. so I spent break time and lunch and the next break AHHAHAHHA

[@carltahutchinson42]

Oh my goodness I can hardly get my breath! He is amazing and lord that body,!

[@batang90stonoh]

God i will never regret buying a lot of copies of his upcoming album! even if i'm broke i don't care!i really love him so much!!!

[@RunninMan5K]

Dude has flawless technique...he has mastered his own voice...amazing!!!

[@popupvids]

OMG! Those are the famous boots! The ones he wore when he performed with KISS.

[@wabisabi2819]

he was shirtless and pulled off such amazing performance but producers were worried people are gonna be distracted by his with wig?

[@lippoldt]

I also want to thank the zodiac show for this video. I just love it and Adam.

[@flcalique]

Never saw Adam dressed like that. For real, turned around and saw him and fell out of my seat!!!!

[@JosieSanelly]

you must be new in Adam's world :D

[@pinkmilkywaymilk7234]

Have you seen him dressed as Ali Baba at Life Ball in Vienna? Or him as a vampire in 'Pretty Little Liars' Halloween episode? What about him singing Gaga's 'Marry The Night' in Glee? Or American Idol finale performance with KISS?

[@tatubert8210]

You can add his outfit & performance of Killer Queen on QUEEN + Adam Lambert tour ... never know what ADAM will think of next!! A real true SHOWMAN!!

[@denismalkavian5575]

The best singer in whole World!!!

[@6falconsue]

Alas, Adam and Monte did not reprise CTF at the two LA GNT concerts, as was rumored they might. If they ever DO reprise it, I hope Adam wears this same outfit, and more importantly, I hope I'm in the front row of the audience!

[@batang90stonoh]

i will love him 4ever!

[@RhymeWirePoetry]

I love this-- the singing, the performance, the stage, the design--- absolutely everything!

[@txcre8ive]

Gives me chills. He can sing the hell out of anything.

[@frontrowcenter1]

Adam is amazing! Whether he's doing Idol, The Zodiac Show, Wicked or his solo album "For Your Entertainment." He's one of the most talented and unique artists of our lfetime and deserves to be supported and not unjustly discrimianted against...People need to open their ears, their minds and their hearts. Adam's my Idol.

[@Whatsthequestionto42]

Bestest ever, hopefully we get that again soemday ... Cherry's get on it!!!! And Adam, don't be shy, you can have the "Little flickers" and we will love them!!!

[@matfan1976]

So f'''in talented! I watch this anytime I wanna get in that mood!

[@LivyKillen]

80 people don't know what talent is.

[@supertrw]

I bet he will perform this song when he goes on tour, as well as a few of his other gems like Kiss & Tell, POP goes the Camera, Crazy, Come Home, etc... the list goes on &on. Adam is so versatile, it's CRAZY. Obviously he will do all the songs from his album but will need more material than that. Luckily for us, he has all these tracks in his back pocket, ready to go. I saw him in concert & he was MIND-BLOWING & can't wait till I can see him again. I am addicted to Adam & don't want to be cured.

[@wen8812]

he's always the best idol contestant in A.I. \m/

[@davii17]

Just saw him on Tour! Got his autograph and spoke for a second or two, looked in his gorgeous eyes, he looked me in the eyes!! OMFG! Beautiful is not a strong enough word, he was polite and gracious to the whole crowd. I can't wait for his solo tour, and hopefully music like this and performances like this, choreography, costumes and all the glam rock excess!! Oh, the voice, the talent, the sexiness!! Album in November....

[@caitlynmlodzik3164]

[@frederick909]

Used to watch when I was beginning to discover Adam...Now after 8-9 months I can say that he can still shock me...which is more than good...that proves what kind of artist he really is

[@mankivenon7261]

Adam Lambert is phenomenal. Adam Lambert is the best.

I love ADAM. This is still so fresh. I never get tired of it. I would have loved to seen a flaming head dress. I think it's a lovely idea!
