Adam Lambert - Tracks of My Tears (Studio version)

[@DontSigh]

I find it really cool that in this recording, which was sold on iTunes during the course of Idol, he changed the lyrics to make sure he wasn't singing about a girl. They say he hadn't come out to the public during Idol, but he evidently did absolutely everything he could to make sure he wasn't hiding it in any way. You could never accuse him of being ashamed of who he is.

[@angellooksing]

El mismo programa lo obligaba a censurarse y no hablar al respecto, Adam se mantuvo al margen toda la temporada y así lo hiso, solo para que al final le robaran la victoria regalandola a Kris Allen muchos años después se comprobo que todos los votos eran para Adam pero simplemente según el programa alguien como el no debía ganar, creo que también en protesta a eso hiso lo que hiso en los AMA en vivo para todo el país, me parece increíble que en ese tiempo hubieran aún tabúes sobre la sexualidad 🤷🏻 afortunadamente hemos tenido Adam Lambert desde entonces y hasta la fecha, amo todos sus trabajos ❤

[@obscurereference7]

I don't think the song's popular enough for people to notice. He just made the song more universal.

[@janisjoplin123]

I don't care if he is guy, I'm a woman and I love him. I'm 50 and he has one of the best voices I ever heard in my entire life. I could spend hours listen him singing and talking, he is a very down to earth guy.

[@gatorprincess8]

There was no one on Idol before or since that was ever as good as Adam. I'ts a shame he didn't win the show, but he didn't need to win because he is a winner. I mean where the hell is the dude that won? I mean no one remembers his name or even knows where he is.

[@dandruff54]

gatorprincess8 bowersox is the greatest

[@angellooksing]

Yo si lo recuerdo perfectamente pero solo por haberle arrebatado la victoria a Adam, por que todos sabemos q Kris Allen no debía ganar esa temporada se lo regalaron solo para que no ganará Adam, por que ya sabes en ese tiempo alguien como Adam no debía ganar, me alegra que años después Adam tiene una carrera que sigo de cerca y además interpreta de la de la jodida Queen, Nadia más podría hacer eso 👌👏👏👏

[@elliottadam8340]

Wow dear pharoah Adam Lambert bet that Mr smokey Robinson is so proud of this Adamtastic rendition of his song . Keep on shining you beautiful star #Glambert girls forever and ever😍🤘😍

[@andohish27]

Adam has one of the best voices I've ever heard. I love this rendition of Smokey's song.

[@dnwttn]

One of the best songs sung by Adam Lambert.

[@artisttemple8268]

Brilliant.

[@elliottadam8340]

[@sandyrubberbandy]

♥Adam Lambert♥ is my favorite singer. my fav part on this song is when it goes..."need you" and...."break-up with you" -AmAzInG-

[@margaretwilson1280]

Perfection 💖💖💖

[@MandeeSparkle]

I LOVE THIS VERSION! It's SO EPIC! His performance was beautiful and poignant, but I just love how epic this version is!

[@ozzyakram441]

beautiful song

[@BlameItOnTheBoogie93]

Smokey Robinson said that he has meet only two people who have sang his songs better than he had. The first was Michael Jackson with "Who's Loving You" And the second was Adam Lambert with "Tracks of my Tears" So all I gotta say is.... GO ADAM! LOVE YOU

[@sharoncherrin2249]

[@3kingkool]

This cat takes this to whole new place when he starts to adlib at the end of the song. Wow! What a performance. Love this kind of soul.

[@cko1005]

WONDERFUL

[@Madeline4Eva]

Haven't heard this song in months but I remember the lyrics. Love his voice :)

[@chanisto]

chills run down my spine as this plays in my headphones. What a great voice.

[@AYAH911]

what an innocent-pure voice!! his singing makes my hands swit !!

[@mimilulu9501]

Adam sublime véritablement tout ce qu'il chante! définitivement et irrévocablement mon chanteur préféré

[@melaniabadea07]

i love this song! So kind, so sensible, so ...ADAM LAMBERT stile ! Good indeed!!!

[@MyLife993]

He's a really great singer. Almost Every time i hear him sing, he gives me goose bumps. He is such a talented guy. Keep up the good work Lambert!

[@flaze3]

God he's such a phenomenal singer... I am incredibly envious!

[@ButterflyLady59]

Wow! I didn't know Lambert sang this song too!!!! Sooo out of sight!!!

[@ItsAWESOMEyay]

Ohmygod, I love Adam! Since I listen more to his music, oh damn, he's so great!

[@selphkelsey]

You didn't tell me that I was his biggest fan, no, but you did say that I was a fan. After seeing them in concert, that still hasn't changed. What has changed, however, is how much I like Adam. He is an amazing entertainer, and, what do you know, he didn't overdo it. There was none of his high pitch screaming. You want to know why I watch Adam's performance? Because I like THAT performance, and many of the songs he did live.

[@d3at4r0ut3]

Love it. Go Adam!

[@Quadrider50]

He is just killin here!!

[@gatorprincess8]

I am a conservative Christian and I love Adam Lambert

[@nicsfan4ever]

Amen...I couldnt have said it better and he will be a bigger star for not winning than the actual winner! Adam rocks!

[@celje66]

Love to hear this guy sing so lovely so oh god......He's got some kind of magic.....

[@maryannyumul28]

Fantastic, awesome, love it

[@MODELCHIC83]

Love the piano entry....good version

[@broddybounce]

One of my very favorite Adam Lambert performances. AWESOME! In case you didn't know, this is recorded to the original music and backing vocal tracks recorded at Motown.

[@poprockfan211]

so pretty!!great!!!

[@twistofcain213]

i luv adam lambert!!!

[@cowluver17]

Gorgeous adam...this was one of my favorite performances on idol...plus he looked pretty fine in that suit ;)

[@rcocenzo]

wow...i check some of his songs and performances, and i found him as a hard rock singer. I´m a soul music lover, and i LOVE this song (specially after Boyz II Men, my favorite vocal group had recorded). I´ll give him props, coz this is defenelly the best version i ever heard.

[@lauraritapastrama3108]

Wonderful 💖

[@GirlMom09]

One of the best covers ever!!!!

[@hellomammaa]

you were so good to be on idol, you are a star, you will continue to shine all the way.

[@joevet66]

Adam won Idol as far as most have known, Kris could not even come close to singing this good!!

[@tulsasportsfan]

I'm a 25 year old straight male who doesn't necessarily agree with being gay, but on the same hand, don't judge people if they are. Everyone is entitled to their opionion. With that said, Adam Lambert has one of the best voices ever. Bar none. Period. Adam, do your thing and you will be successful. Good luck to ya buddy

[@denisemarcucci2670]

liked to slower version he sang on Idol...

[@chezzasan]

Same. Prefer his pure vocals without the music drowning out his voice

[@ponchoherre]

this song makes me cry ...i love it!

[@dbqkelly22]

Should have one...gorgeous, talented Adam...damn Kris!

[@imranio1983]

I never saw American Idol and heard of Adam Lambert when he appeared on a british chat show a little while ago, this version is quality, im sure even Smokey Robinson is impressed. This kid can sing.

[@ademafan23]

maybe im off, but I like this just as much s his live version. Hes definately talented. Props to Adam. im excited for his album

[@Orleans2003]

What a song, what a guy, he simply is the best...

[@LanaSvet29]

Не слышала оригинал, но эта песня у Адама одна из ЛЮБИМЫХ! Обалденно! Мурашки по коже!

[@voyka76]

this is my favorite song by adam lambert

[@BritishContingent]

I'm old enough to remember and love the original. This is a great cover, and Smokey really rated Adam. Each to his own, I suppose - I love this as much as the original.

[@JossetteDC]

ADAM Is a Great Singer and a Excellent human being..

[@NightFire201]

I cant help but sing along with this

[@hannahfatehah123]

I love this version!!

[@bradbennett419]

[@antgelnich1]

[@mommakat226]

i was on the road and missed this when he did it

[@asfaloth12]

He's so talented :)

[@cauvangthoibaoofficial8164]

People say I'm the life of the party Because I tell a joke or two Although I might be laughing loud and hearty Deep inside I'm blue So take a good look at my face You'll see my smile looks out of place If you look closer, it's easy to trace The tracks of my tears I need you, need you Since you left me if you see me with another girl Seeming like I'm having fun Although she may be cute She's just a substitute Because you're the permanent one So take a good look at my face You'll see my smile looks out of place If you look closer, it's easy to trace The tracks of my tears I need you, need you Outside I'm masquerading Inside my hope is fading Just a clown oh yeah Since you put me down My smile is my make up I wear since my break up with you So take a good look at my face You'll see my smile looks out of place If you look closer, it's easy to trace The tracks of my tears

[@hrtbrkr1228]

i love him! hes is such such a good artist. god he looks like elvis!

[@dannycorser]

I think all you people out there that do not like Adam L need to grow up , if it is because he is openly gay , big deal this is 2010 get over it this guy can sing !!! what a great cover !!!!!

[@vvleandrews]

Adam is just brilliant!!! Just lurve this song, like as though he's personally singing it to me! But still, the live performance on AI was the bomb!! I literally got goosebumps watching it at home hundreds and thousands of miles away. It's still so vivid till today how i felt 2 years ago

[@taisiaxd]

sooo perfect

[@thunder0928]

he's soooo cool. cool voice, cool personality...he's great...he's still the american idol winner.

[@heucatia]

[@nguyenkhanh181]

best singer ever in american idol

[@valtttu]

This song rocks! I also have the original. I heard it the first time in the movie Platoon. Great movie btw!

[@huppel-de-pup]

Awesome, although I like the live version better! Adam has a beautiful voice and he sings this song almost as beautiful as mister Smokey himself. This song is so timeless.

[@tecna247]

i wish he'd do a studio version of the version he did during the performance, cos i liked that version more, so much more heartfelt.

[@Hotrodd100]

@dannycorser Well said!!!! I couldn't agree with you more!!!! Adam Lambert Rocks!!!! The guy's Amazing!!!!!

[@HajisSaya]

GO ADAM! WIN!

[@lilsteves21]

ADAM. It was so gooood all slow and sad. Why isn't the studio like the live version? Tease...

[@grytlappar]

I adore Adam on this song. His voice could not be more beautiful, and he has the emotional range to pull it off. Love him! I just hope he'll steer his music in a different direction soon... Where he chose to go, this unoriginal, mainstream pop fluff... I just can't. Something else please. Rock. Anything.

[@chrisjamesr77]

grytlappar I like his last album, but I keep hoping he'll either do an album by his own that is more rock, or that he'll do an album with Queen! I was introduced to his work by his collaboration with Queen, as I've been a Queen fan for about 25 years, and saw both the Queen tours with Paul Rodgers (who I think is just a great singer), and with Adam, and I'll say I just hope the Queen + Adam thing just never ends :D
