Shake your body (down to the ground) - Top 7 group song

[@talex42]

Everyone sounded good singing their bit, but Adam stood out as the most natural dance. Did you hear the audience when he got his little bit of solo?

[@rosannaolin9025]

Adams got the Elvis hair and everything! 🕺 such a throwback and still loving it.

[@desertflowerzz]

It's so cute how all of Adam's backup singers wore sunglasses.

[@jenigalia]

Adam is indeed the performer!

[@SourRoses]

Adam was so much more INTO it than everyone else. Definitely not back-row material. ;)

[@bubbleboo09]

its funny how adam waz the only one not wearing sunglasses...but hes the only one that can actually dance!

[@cenagang54]

Season 8 is by far the BEST season of American Idol (in my opinion)

[@talex42]

OMG, memories!! Love it, and yes we couldn't even take our eyes off Adam way back then!

[@MsSharon1031]

Even Simon was smiling and having fun watching them. Great performance and everyone was insych. Adam was so hot looking and really knows how to shake his body down. OMG need to breath breath breath...

[@99mysmile99]

Adam is the only one that is not wearing sunglasses.. because he's too beautiful!!! ^___^

[@matildawilson9453]

Totally! And he wanted to be able to give the camera this look 2:01, to which I am NOT complaining

[@99mysmile99]

Matilda Wilson IKR!! that look melts me every time, not to mention his voice!!

[@joancamo]

Love this Top 7 and love Paula for doing this, miss season 8 so much, because of the contestants and because of Paula T.T

[@girvinie]

I read somewhere that Adam wasn't wearing sunglasses because the other contestants didn't tell him that they were gonna wear it. They made a joke. And Adam didn't even notice it until someone at one point asked him why he was the only one without sunglasses, it's funny! Season 8 was the best season by far, after all it gave me Adam Lambert. He is amazing in everything he does! (sorry for my english.)

[@charlotteschmidt4113]

Adam was just too awesome to wear sunglasses like the others!!! Why did I not notice this till 2016???? 😁😁🤔🤔🤔🤔🤗🤗🤗

[@ja8ames]

This one's a lot of fun. Everyone looks great in the those outfits, especially Lil. How could you not enjoy being a part of that performance?

[@thepotatoland]

matt giraurd sounded amazing in this!!!!luv that guy!

[@SiMuSiCvidmania]

omg i didnt know adam could dance like that lol he so awesome!

[@ImNotSkerd1]

You mean there were other people on stage besides Adam? :P

[@YzavellaGlamKatz]

GAWD!!! Why is it that I can't see anyone else whenever Adam is in the view of the camera?

[@Alimarie819]

Lol Adam so cool he doesn't need glasses

[@TheBeatleManiac101]

Season 8 was the best season EVER.

[@allisonadamgirl]

i love adam :) ♥ thats all i can say, adam's really the only one that can dance, i love him with out sunglasses on ♥

[@LoyaFrostwind]

Adam pulls you in with his voice, but locks on to you with his eyes.

[@jenigalia]

I was watching only him during the whole video LOL

[@1prsman]

season 8 was awesome loved watching every week.

[@sezen1h]

Damn Adam knows how to move :) So damn HOT and talented !

[@aaminaqureshi12]

its incredible that Adam can still look wicked cool will the rest of them r wearing really weird and funky clothes :P

[@lovethemtigers]

YESS!!! Thank you so much for uploading this! Favorite Group Performance EVER!!!! Love ya Matt Giraud!

[@gadisaodekerken2321]

Adam was the best 1 in this dancing routine i would,nt mind dancing it with him 🤗😃😍

[@jenigalia]

yeah he got the moves!! and i think he's the only one just dancing without overthinking the steps LOL it comes so naturally

[@MoreMedication]

Is it just me, or do others get surprised every time they see how tall Adam is? He just looks average on his own, but he's usually one of the biggest guys in the room.

[@CandleLight1974]

He's 6'2". He's not average in any context.

[@xpredator9925]

@@CandleLight1974 6"3 With boots on Lol.... he said in one of his recent song "stranger you are" at 0:52😂

[@valmacclinchy]

@@xpredator9925 Velvet is an amazing album

[@Mishy82193]

this was my fav group performance of that season! i saved it to my tv for too long & re-watched it too many times haha

[@talex42]

Even then, early on, you can hear the extra squeals of delight from the audience when Adam's turn comes...

[@veritygordon4821]

This is just like Freshman line dancing in high school. I was the only one, it seemed, that was the most enthusiastic about the dance unit. So Adam and I have something in common ;)

[@mjbutterflies]

I thought this was so great! The best group performance on the show, ever, and that's because Paula choreographed it. Usually they are so cheesy. Also the song was The Jacksons, so that helps too.

[@TheIrahetafan1]

SEASON 8 ROCKSSS!!!!!! Talented and close. ♥

[@TheEsilla]

OMG!! I LOVE ADAM!!!

[@SweetBee13]

I LOVED this season! Even the ones I didn't like made it a good season, if that makes any sense. Perfect blend of people for every emotion ;-)

[@giantsgirl280]

god dammit adam, you're killing me.

[@99mysmile99]

Adam can do EVERYTHING!!! ^___^

[@TheJadefan]

i love adam's voice. thumbs up if you agree.

[@punkismyname1]

[@imrah1]

nobody told Adam about sunglasses till it was too late so he went without one..i remember hearing in one interview.

[@Glam1877]

[@Emmilly007]

This is one of my favorite AI8 performances :D

[@tor10dar8]

god adam can really dance ,not onley the best singer ,but also the best dancer

[@kerryclark7233]

Adam Lambert being the only one not wearing sunglasses and the others bowing down at 1:57, ... you can't tell that this was choreographed by Paula Abdul! 😂

[@joselynlambert]

i love adam!!! the best ...

[@YzavellaGlamKatz]

@kf187 He probably has none because it would prevent us from seeing his gorgeous eyes... LOL

[@Lucky_day_Smile]

나는 아담의 춤을 보려고 이 영상을 수십번을 봤다 아담은 못하는게 없다

[@TheScarface144]

Damn! How fine Adam moves his body to the ground.thumbs up if you agree.

[@Glambertx96]

adam kills me.... *_*

[@brad3688]

Allison!!!! Shes so awesome!

[@Lucky_day_Smile]

춤까지 잘추다니 아담은 신이야

[@carolinelowe6304]

Season eight will always be the best American idol season ever

[@Viper194]

THE REASON ADAM'S NOT WEARING GLASSES IS BECZ HE DIDN'T KNOW LOL HE SAID IT IN A INTERVIEW I LOOVVVEE ADAM :P

[@daisukefan92]

god i miss paula!

[@pauljolicoeur1816]

good cover

[@lahnonname8969]

Is it just me, or does Adam look like he is directing the others all through the dance? At the beginning he seems to tell Lil when to move and he points to Matt, he gets to twirl Paula, he is the last to come across the stage while the others sat and waited, he seems to start doing the leg movements first etc. He is center stage during the whole routine. Kris also did a good job.

[@valmacclinchy]

Definitely. Adam's theater experience is evident, and he loves helping people ❤

[@KaityT97]

I LOVE IT!

[@popyacolor]

Epic

[@iheartmsn]

wonder why adam's the only one without glasses. Probably cuz his eyes are too pretty :D

[@soniapinto7903]

Kris can move ahah

[@2008topshelf]

folks are just realizing that that song is probably one of best songs of the dance/disco error. Timeless baseline on that one.

[@Bluegirl1234510]

@mjluvx u havin an adamgasm? lol y is adam the only one not wearing sunglasses?

[@candieleigh123]

0:40 allison shaking in matts face cracks me up!

[@MoreMedication]

Yes, I do know he's tall. He just doesn't LOOK particularly tall. Until he's standing next to other people. (It's kinda the same way I always forget Jon Stewart and President Obama are left-handed. Until they pick up a pen, and then my brain goes, "Oh yeah, I knew that!")

[@Bluegirl1234510]

@mjluvx u havin a adamgasm? lol

[@lisalexo]

Wow, Adam was the only one wih any dance ability in that group! He was fabulous and others just stiff....

[@loveanimals6981]

Matt's actually the best dancer of the group.

[@dreameryoung38]

this was the best

[@michaelpack1988]

Thumbs up if you knew that Michael and Randy Jackson wrote this song.

[@MegaLolakitty]

I often wonder, if Adam wasnt on this season would everyone been so on their game and as good? I think not..I believe that Adams presence motivated what other contestants did and how they did it..thats why so many new things, such as the dancing, and the guest mentors.such as Slash and Jaime Fox. I believe that Adam indirectly influenced how the whole show was presented and why they were able to get rhe big names to go on the show// its just my opinion..

[@loveanimals6981]

They had big names guest mentor long before Adam came onto American Idol. For example, I remember Elton John, Dolly Parton, and Diana Ross, just to name a few icons, mentored before this season.

[@valmacclinchy]

@@loveanimals6981 however, the group spoke about how Adam was the one they looked to for guidance. It was evident on the AI Tour who was the leader in every way..

[@prMLA01]

Why are Adam Lambert fans so annoyingly self righteous about him? It doesn't hurt him to recognize other people's talents you know. He's not the only one who can dance and he's not the only one who could sing. It's ok to have your fave but you don't need to put others down to bring him up.

[@suprnatrulcat]

Its not that Adam's fans don't recognize other people's talent, it is that they don't understand how anyone can state that Adam doesn't have the superior technical voice and the largest range of all the singers for that season. Plus, Adam brought something different to Idol that season - STYLE! Whether you may not like his style or type of singing is of course, your opinion. But, the bottom line is that Adam does have the superior voice and was the most versatile singer.

[@mogamatghoosain1517]

They're an insufferable bunch. Can't just support their guy, have to put others down to make sure everyone knows how great he is. I have no issues with, can't stand his fans though.

[@TakeYourDreams]

@MattGiraudFanatic WOW. U R so rare! I've never seen Matt's fans... wow.... so exotic...)

[@dgaller06]

During season 7 I was just pissed that Adam didn't win...but now as I watch these videos I see that Kris is pretty talented and so very sexy

[@ThePati12341]

Adam !

[@3ku1]

@MattGiraudFanatic haha are you still rooting for matt, mate newsflash the show ended almost 3 years ago, adam has gone on to become a music phenonomena, and matt's probably struggling to sing to a few thousand people. Oh btw refresh my memory where did matt finish and where did adam finish? Oh yeh thats right, now I remember adam stealing the show on the finalie with change is gonna come, while matt just sat their. Oh and who wan an mma last year for best video? Adams vocals rocked in this btw.

[@ilovediscosticks]

adam was the only one smiling throughout the routine because he was the only one comfortable performing like that. that's the difference between being a pro ready for a career and an amature trying to get ready. and winning doesn't = better. Kris is very talented and deserved to win as much as Adam and/or Allison.

[@geperry1973]

all of them were good dancers

[@TayTay123ize]

Haha this is so funny

[@prMLA01]

Stupid camera man didn't focus on Allison enough, girl can dance!

[@ethanm1252]

This was either auto-tuned or lipsynced no one sounds that good

[@valmacclinchy]

Adam sounds that good. In fact, he sounds even better in person.

[@allisonadamgirl]

i ♥ adam and allison

[@Jean_Genie]

Adam = SEX ON LEGS!! Allison = U go girl! Kris = awwww Lil = alright I guess Anoop = Oh dear Danny = sorry who? Matt = meh...

[@TheScarface144]

@TheLadydance54 yeah tottally agree with you.LOL

[@kellybyui3512]

This was probably the only group that could pull this off. They're all really good dancers, except Matt :)

[@loveanimals6981]

Matt (along with Lil Rounds) is actually the best dancer of the group -- he moves really well... very naturally. This would probably explain why Paula put him and Lil up front at the end of the number.

[@lahnonname8969]

Their placement in the group has nothing to do with their dancing ability. If you notice the alignment in the back row they have the two tallest people, Anoop and Adam in middle and the two shortest on the ends. It all about the aesthetic setup of the group and what grouping looked the best according to their heights. Look closely at Matt and you'll see that he doesn't even complete some of the movements like all the others do.

[@loveanimals6981]

I don't concur. Yes, I noticed Matt's dancing wasn't flawless but, again, I still think he moves better and more naturally than the other guys. Some would maybe say Adam is the best dancer, but his moves are like he's trying too hard... too much effort. Unlike Matt, who, again just moves in a more natural fashion. Also, if Paula was trying to group the tallest in the back middle, she could have put Matt there as I think he may actually be the tallest (or about equal with Adam and Anoop, anyway). If you look, some of the dance moves of the guys in the back at the end the number, are pretty bad... they just don't flow well or very smoothly.

[@suprnatrulcat]

Anoop is 6'2", Adam is 6'1", Danny 5'10", and Kris Allen is 5'6". I looked at many pictures and Matt never appears taller than Adam or Anoop, He looks close in height to Danny or maybe a little taller. I couldn't find Matt's height listed anywhere. To review the dancing again, there was one instance where Matt was off step and I seriously don't see the flow or natural movement that you state Matt has. Evidently, Matt is your favorite and that is great - no problem. I wish Matt continued success.

[@loveanimals6981]

To the detractors on Matt's dancing abilities, I guess that we can just agree to disagree.

[@TheEsilla]

ADAM (L) (L) LOVE LOVE LOVE ADAM ADAM ADAM
