BRITISH DADS REACT to Adam Lambert American Idol Audition and Performances Pt2

[@janulake]

You should know that Led Zeppelin has never before given permission to use their song for American Idol. Adam was the first - it was a show of tremendous confidence in his talent.

[@CandleLight1974]

Nor had U2,

[@stephaniedavis9419]

It was Adam's performance of Whole Lotta Love that prompted Spike Edney to contact Roger Taylor.

[@lesliepotts5825]

Yes, Spike was at his place in Palm Springs ( actually Joshua tree in the high desert I think) when his wife called him in from his deck to see Adam. Spike put a new book out this I see. Haven’t read it yet though.

[@queenrosered]

❤Honestly you guys need to finish this Idol journey with a 3rd part! He sang a few more you haven't seen, including a song with KISS and then at the finale he sang for the FIRST TIME with QUEEN! Please do a part 3 and you'll be just as gobsmacked, I promise you! Thanks so very much for your attention to a man that I believe is highly underrated as a premier vocalist. He's just fabulous, isn't he? Hugs from a Glambert in Las Vegas who has traveled the world to see Adam both solo and with Queen! ❤❤❤❤

[@carolyncappitelli1460]

PLEASE watch the finale....PLEEEZE!!

[@lauz7798]

I agree definitely need a 3rd part!!

[@melissawhite9964]

i agree the best is yet to come please do the finale part!!

[@arrowsminnesota6846]

Yessssssss!!!! Part 3!!

[@lesliepotts5825]

You will love the finale.

[@stacia2719]

Simon Cowell gave Adam the only standing ovation ever on American Idol for Mad World. Great reaction. Your facial expressions were priceless.

[@lauraled1davis565]

All the styling and staging were chosen by Adam for these performances

[@Chita727]

They forgot the ending when Adam meets Queen in the finale of Idol. You can see the chemistry immediately. He sings we are the champions with queen

[@RobChurch1988]

I love it when he skyrockets with his vocals, but he does it when the song needs it. Its freaking rollercoaster ride listening to him sing.

[@georgiacoombes699]

Queen’s keyboard player Spike Ebney saw Adam singing “Whole lotta love “ on American Idol & sent an email to Roger Taylor, the rest is history! IMHO Adam is the best singer going around today! Thx for a great reaction!

[@DuckBertLurkin1]

wellwellwell...i believe you 2 adorable dad's are now, officially, GLAMBERTS!!! 🙌 welcome to our world! luuuv your Adam reaction vids...keep 'em comin'! 😀❤️

[@carydeane-vy7tg]

Love your reaction. Isn’t impossible to not have a positive reaction . I am 68 started watching him perform on idol in 2009, a youngster st 53. He gives music a new element raw and edgy and beautiful all at once. As Brian May says his voice is a gift. I love watching

[@sammyd8860]

Roger Taylor was 100% correct "Camp Elvis" is exactly what I thought when I watched him on American Idol 15 years ago ! How the hell did he not win ? He was head and shoulders above everybody else

[@TheDivayenta]

Homophobia was still strong back then.

[@nancy9891]

He was amazing and yet he did not win because the American people could not handle his flamboyant style of entertainment. Crazy

[@TheDivayenta]

And they were homophobic. 😢

[@bruceleenstra6181]

And whichever label was offering the record contract that year probably freaked out too. *scared of trying to promote him

[@chrispavlich9656]

He’s getting the last laugh now.

[@thaismatsumoto]

You also forget the way that the votes were made and who the main group were who voted.Teenage girls. Teenage girls loved the other guy.And they could vote as often as they wanted. Which is ridiculous. They should have allowed only one vote per person. A lot of us older Americans actually loved his performances. And voted for the first time for him.

[@rachel-po5rm]

@@thaismatsumoto Actually Kris Allen won because there were voting effents in Arkansas set up to have him win. 37 million votes came from that state alone if I remember correctly

[@hanafris3449]

Thank you very much again for your great reaction video on Adam! It was this song Whole Lotta Love that decided that Adam was invited to the band Queen as a lead singer. And the singer who won this season of American Idol said that Adam should have won. Everyone expected it. So it was a big disappointment that he didn't win. And for all the negative reactions under this video, I have to say that Adam does not imitate Freddie, he does not even have a similar voice. Of course, he has great vocal skills, which Brian and Roger really appreciate, but he's also a very nice and funny person. Brian and Roger never wanted a Freddie impersonator in the band.

[@thaismatsumoto]

Right.. and I wasnt just homophobia that caused him to lose. It was the voting system and the teenage girls who were a major part of the audience. They liked the other guy.And could vote multiple times for him.

[@gillhedworth7552]

Adam glorious Adam the most stunning and versatile singer ever. Not only that, he is very intelligent; can talk on very many subjects and is the Interviewers dream.. He is an extremely kind , loving, thoughtful and generous person. Why should someone so beautiful, talented and wonderful in so many ways hide himself away because he is gay, and proud to be who he is. Quite rightly 🩷🤩👏🙌🤴👑🌟

[@avogrid296]

That reaction of WAIT< what's this guy doing on Idol? was exactly right! He blew that stage away!

[@Elisa-lw9kk]

Adam Lambert was beyond American idol standards. Now some of America is ready for this Amazing Person that Adam Lambert is ❤❤❤❤

[@lillywhite0707]

You should watch the final performance of Adam and the guy who won American Idol with Queen. Adam sings the hardest parts of the song. The winner is barely audible.

[@TheDivayenta]

And totally forgettable!

[@castlecorn593]

I'm not gonna lie I did like that song Live like we dying from Kris Allen

[@cathytemple8991]

I couldn't believe he didn't win. But no matter, look where he is now. Such a talent, such a personality... Please cover when he sang with Queen. You could see a connectioj❤❤

[@Caradoc17]

Sometimes it's better not to win as these shows often have restrictive contracts and have an idea of the image you must have. Adam is too much of an individual and way too talented for that. So pleased Queen carried on working with him after the finale.😊

[@Sharon-sj1hx]

Thank for for the 2 parts really enjoyed these reactions. Would love you to check out the final of Adam’s journey with Kiss and first time sining with Queen. Another 1 to check out is Adam and Queen in Italy and Adam sining Nessun Doema 🫶

[@DontSigh]

There were a few more songs he did on the show but A Change is Gonna Come was by far the most important one for you to see because that one is just insane. Really enjoy your reactions and your perspectives.

[@celticpoet21]

Excellent reaction! I'm so glad you guys seem to be having a blast exploring Adam's American Idol adventure. That last bit at the end with Roger and Dr. Sir Brian May was from a documentary called "The Show must go on-the Queen and Adam Lambert Story". Needless to say, they absolutely adore Adam as a singer, colleague and as a person. Dr. Sir Bri calls him 'the gift from God" and as of 2019, he started calling him their brother, you can't beat that! I've seen quite a few concert clips from the past few years where Adam gives an insane high, long note and Brian and Roger have those priceless looks of combined astonishment/joy and huge grins on their faces that say "what did he just do?!!"

[@sharonelliott2366]

My favorite part of your reactions to Adam is watching the expression on your faces as you hear each song.

[@berniceho3792]

Same, same. Like starting from 3:03 on that long note? Everyone's enjoying it, enjoying it, all cool, all good.... then the incredulous looks and chuckles follow.

[@sharonelliott2366]

@@berniceho3792 Yes, exactly

[@chrispavlich9656]

Glad you guys are showing Adam the love he deserves. I don’t know anyone who can rival him. If you get a chance to revisit his other American Idol performances, please do so. He had so many wonderful and fun performances. Thanks guys. I really enjoyed this reaction❣️

[@rebeccaoneson6305]

He was the only contestant Led Zeppelin allowed to sing one of their songs. You missed Slash was on the show and actually tutored Adam with Zeppelins song. He was ama,Ed at his voice.

[@HRConsultant_Jeff]

this is back when American Idol had real singers with talent.

[@Marvi550]

Adam Lambert is the GOAT

[@einnanoslen]

💯

[@anniek4919]

Welcome to Club Glambert!!! I crown thee BritPopberts or is Britdadberts better for you? ❤ All you need to do wear a few more sparkles. I love watching people react to Adam. This has been my favorite so far. I’ll throw this up on one of the fan sites to send views your way- thanks for reacting to another Adam video- fine by me if you just keep them coming ❤❤. Thank you, thank you!!!!

[@BritPopsReact]

Thanks Annie :) much appreciated and kindness! We have been enjoying Adam and long may it continue! 👍🏻👍🏻

[@cheryljohnson1658]

Welcome aboard to the thrilling talent of Adam Lambert with or without Queen. Your reactions and your expressions on your faces makes me proud to be a Glambert!!!!! ❤❤ More please 🙏

[@lauz7798]

Another great couple of reactions. Really enjoying your Adam reactions your faces say it all. We need a part 3 to finish the idol journey. Thanks Madison for the requests.

[@ellencourtney7187]

It was so exciting to look forward every week to see Adam and what he would perform. Our family would vote like crazy for him. It was so ridiculous that he didn’t win his season (bigotry), but he is winning at life. I hope he is very happy.

[@jazzylyn5857]

I remember being gutted that I couldn't vote for Adam, cos I'm a UK'er. Even tho Adam didn't win, he was absolutely the winner.

[@toramenor]

Those little snippets of Brian and Roger at the end were bits from their documentary called "The Show Must Go On: The Queen and Adam Lambert" highly recommended 👍

[@KathyTerpstra-zf6so]

When he sang Whole lot of love... that's what got him the Queen gig.

[@andreasmith6528]

His "Mad World" is always in every Top 10 list of all idol performances. You should watch the documentary about how Adam joined Queen. It's called "The Show Must Go On." The clips you saw at the end there were from that show.

[@the_Real_Grammy_of_6]

📌📌📌 GUYS‼️‼️⁉️ Please please watch the documentary “The Show Must Go On: The Queen + Adam Lambert Story”. All of your questions will be answered. And it’s an awesome story ❗️❗️❗️

[@cunningdeb3129]

His fellow contestants used to go to him for help and he always did. He's a mentor at heart. He was a mentor judge on X Factor Australia back in 2015 and his singer won. He is currently taping episodes of The Voice Australia as one of its newest judge mentors. He also filled in as a judge during auditions on Idol one season when Keith Urban was a judge and had a death in the family. The other idol judges at that time were Jennifer Lopez and Harry Connick Jr. He was the first Idol be as a judge and the season after his he came back as a mentor for Elvis week and was again at the time first former Idol contestant to return as a mentor.

[@palomaqui]

I love Adam Lambert. Thank you for your reaction. There is a third party where Simon asked U2 to sing one of their songs. He also sang with Kiss and Queen.

[@vgeorgieva4209]

He also sang " Play that funcky music", " If I can' t have you", " Cryin'", " One", and the final performances with Kiss and Queen.

[@randbjack329]

Exactly! How the hell do you go after Adam! He’s amazing !

[@firefighterchick]

Not many could pull off an all-white satin suit. I'm betting you could BP2. 😁 Hot damn, he can cover Zepplin? Now that is a feat accomplished by a rare few. Very few artists can successfully genre jump to this degree that's for certain. Nice choice again Madi!!😊

[@remavineyard]

Your faces are priceless! Imagine our faces when he didn't win!!!! But in the end, he won and then some!!

[@MarilynPackham-nd1ix]

As others have said, there should be a part three to this 🙏🏻

[@dianetyler1802]

He ❤was always polite and humble in the show. Very likable guy.

[@LueMeldane]

Oh no! Oh no! Soooo many amazing performances were left out of this selection. His performance of If I Don't Have You is OTHERWORLDLY! At least that one should have made into the video. I stand by what I said in my last comment, you should definitely check out his whole journey. Oh, and since you loved the MJ performance that much, you should also check out Gabriel Henrique's rendition of Earth Song. I dare say he made it even better than the original (for me at least). I think you will LOVE it!

[@jamiem4941]

Epic Adam Lambert! ❤️

[@leticiabeltran9319]

HES IS THE BEST!!!

[@chrisvanderhoof9990]

There are more performances from American Idol from him. You guys need to do part 3 next!

[@rebeccaoneson6305]

Sam Cook song was in the finale. Regarding your comment about other contestants leaving you should see the beginning of the contest when he sings Chers believe. The other contestants faces in the audience is priceless.

[@japcar84]

Mad World! Great job. I never knew that he did that song, and his performance was masterful. 😉

[@jenniferworley7115]

Wow @mcm0324, how do you really feel? IMO, Adam has never tried to be Freddie, but everyone is entitled to their opinion. Don't understand the need to be so negative or cruel..but again you do you. Thanks for the great reaction BP1 and BP2, and the great request and compilation videos you did Madison. Peace and love to all.

[@debraj7577]

Isn’t he fabulous ❤

[@lindamarker-qv9cv]

I love you guys! Not everyone appreciates Adam the way you do. He has one of the best voices in the world!

[@lesliepotts5825]

The show must go on is a compelling story.

[@ritarodriguez4845]

Hot Damn! Thank you Brit Pops for continuing to react to Adam’s phenomenal performances even if it’s from American Idol, they are classics if you ask me. I also want to thank your member Madison for suggesting these 2 video compilations! Very appreciated! I take pleasure in seeing both of you reacting to Adam, isn’t he just “mind blowing”? I adore Adam with all my heart and deserves all the best with his career. ❤️. Thank you both again. 😊. I will be subscribing to the channel.

[@СтрелокМеткий-д6ф]

Queen +Adam Lambert - "Who Wants To Love Forever / Somebody To Love"- (Live At The Isle Of Wight Festival 2016) - super cool!!!🤘

[@Promotion06]

You must listen to Adams version of Believe, in front of Cher herself at a tribute concert for her. It’s the best cover I’ve heard, amazing!!

[@angelado3]

YES - was waiting for Part 2 !!! 😄🔥🔥

[@Musiklife.9049]

Have such vivid memories of him on this idol journey and when he didn’t win…..😮 In hindsight probably the best outcome for him. What a voice and what a great lad.

[@rebeccaoneson6305]

You can watch his whole journey with the judges comments. Some of them are good to hear. Just google season 8 adam lambert.

[@LauriellenLOLpsychic]

Judges comments are worth the hour long video. Also fun to see Adam working with the mentors each week.

[@eorozco2720]

I love your shock on your face on the songs that he sang. I really love watching this over and over again just like I did the George Michael. You guys are so great and honest in your reactions. The thing is that we are not shocked by Adam Lambert because we all know how great he is but it is hilarious to see how shocked you are with how great he really is. He is one of the greatest if not the greatest I personally think he is the greatest but I love watching your reactions to him. It really makes me laugh. You guys are so amazing and so is Adam Lambert

[@alyn927]

Just love him thankyou

[@tlo3571]

You need a part 3. There are songs left out. The duet with Kiss and the finale with Queen.

[@victoriavelvet3689]

I was waiting for your reaction to feeling good! 😂

[@sallyatticum]

My favorite that season actually was 15 year old Allison Iraheta. Her duet with Adam on Foghat's Slow Ride was a highlight for me, though I did think Adam should have won.

[@dnewton98]

"Until American Idol Season 8 Top 4 round on May 5, 2009, no permission had been given to a contestant to cover a Led Zeppelin song. In fact, Adam had prepared an Aerosmith cover for the Rock-themed round. But then he received a last-minute permission to perform "Whole Lotta Love" instead."

[@beagrinton5934]

I still can’t believe he didn’t win 🥇 He just blew me away no matter what he sang ❤

[@eorozco2720]

I’ve watched this reaction several times and I wish I could give it more than one like I just love the way you guys react to Adam the amazement that you have with his voice I feel the same way every time I hear him. I love your reactions because they are so genuine. Thank you for all you do l. If you keep listening to Adam, you’ll be even more impressed each time you hear. He’s the best singer I have heard. He is so amazing and so are you both

[@susanlepage3591]

You picked up on the earth song. I couldnt figure out why l loved this song so much. Thank You.

[@r.louiseworley-parsley4208]

He had been in Wicked for 1.5 years before Idol and in music theatre since a small child.

[@rachellevel8982]

[@rachellevel8982]

Loving the vest, BP2! Stylin’ and wildin’

[@marshamoore5700]

Good Gawd! I don’t know how he held those notes like that without passing out. Every week Adam just kept topping himself. At some point, he left the other contestants behind in the dust. So you see why everyone thought he should have won. Those comments from Brian and Roger were from the documentary “The Show Must Go On, the QUEEN and Adam Lambert Story”, which features interviews with Freddy, and traces his loss, how it impacted Brian and Roger, and how they became QUEEN + Adam Lambert. Worth a look see. The looks on your faces cracked me up. Thanks guys!

[@MelodyeNovak]

And he didn't win. Are you kidding me. Wow what a talent

[@lordlockdown64]

Very good performance.

I love your facial expressions on this one!

[@nfreal-mom]

I always said Adam was never a contestant. He was always that week’s special guest star. “A Change is Gonna Come” was, in my opinion, his best performance. Great reaction. Thank you. 🤍

And he lost..now front man for Queen.. 10+years..

[@lepakbrawlstars4840]

This the reason i stopped watch American Idol after Adam got 2nd ! It's sad but yet his future way better then American idol title . This guy set the american idol bar so high that nobody can compare after that season & this also make sense why the show bring judges from the famous to gain the popularity .

[@Larry.cupcaks]

His "mad world" version was like Michael Jackson "stranger in Moscow"

[@MarcelloRibeiro10]

Adam is percect!!!!!

Can you believe he didn't win his season?!?!? He came in 2nd. Travesty.

Hello, Brit Pops, 1@2, I thought I'd suggest something a bit different for you to react to, if interested. *"British Highschoolers Try Biscuits And Gravy For The First Time!" (by the channel: JOLLY)* --JOLLY's a KZbin Channel, that features content creators Josh Carrott and Ollie Kendall their known for their entertaining and engaging content of them exploring many different places while discovering various different foods throughout America and other places around the world. Several Reaction channels react to their content. So, I thought you might find them interesting too. I enjoyed rocking with you both and thanks for sharing.

adam actually was in a band before but for some reason he couldn't get signed officially. american idol was his big break to get exposure and a record deal
