Adam Lambert - Closer To You (Calling all GLAMBERTS! ) BRITS REACTION

[@kc4515]

And Adam did this in his home during lockdown

[@Sharon-sj1hx]

He’s a fabulous live singer - you need to check out his live concerts ! He’s mind blowing

[@pamelaogburn]

At 77 yrs young😂 I have never heard another vocalist that has me so mesmerized when he sings. I can’t get enough of his voice, his songs, solo or with QAL. His short but gorgeous aria of Nessun Dorma during a QAL concert in Bologna Italy shows off his classical training and you can tell how he uses it along with his musical stage experience to incorporate it in the pop music world. His vocal ability is unsurpassed!!

[@carbine5378]

Have to agree. He has an amazing range.

[@stacia2719]

Loved your reaction to Closer To You. Adam is a classically trained vocalist, so he has amazing control over his instrument. He took voice lessons for over 10 years while he worked in musical theatre as a child all through his 20's. He was in the play Hair in Germany, Wicked in Los Angeles and the touring company and played the slave Joseph in the Ten Commandments alongside Val Kilmer, so Adam is a seasoned performer. I love Adam with Queen because he feels honored to celebrate Freddie Mercury and considers Brian May and Roger Taylor family. They have worked together for over 10 years, but for me, Adam's solo music is everything. He is unapologetically himself which has given many of his Glamberts the strength to be exactly who they are. Some of my favorite songs are Stranger You Are (Live version), Outlaws of Love and Aftermath (performed on American Idol after his first album came out). Hope you can check them out. Thanks

The man is brilliant!!!!!!!!!!!

[@victoriavelvet3689]

We witnessed the moment they became Glamberts guys! 😂😍

[@Patti-sg1fv]

Adam Lambert is too underrated. Love the guy 👍

[@DuckBertLurkin1]

DUUUDES...he has FIVE solo albums out...PLEEEZE take some time to listen to them...promise...you WILL NOT be disappointed! luuuved your reaction vid...TYSM! ❤

[@elainesevigny]

Yep... he was a solo artist before he ever sang with Queen on tour. These guys must be living under a rock. LOL

[@deruychristelle6537]

Who wants to live forever (live At The Isle of wight Festival) superrrrrbe !!! Adam lambert ❤❤❤

[@Sharon-sj1hx]

Adam has been a solo artist since 2010 he has numerous albums. He’s truly amazing ❤️ thank you for this reaction #glambert 🙌

[@juliep3508]

He has 5 solo albums, and there is lay me down on the avicci album (best live version is the tribute concert) and a few live performances with beverly knight that are awesome and worth checking out

[@LueMeldane]

The "he was live, mate" reaction is so relatable! Been there, done that a million times with Adam. I was lucky enough to see him live wirh Queen in New York and... Wow. Yep, he definitely can sing and he sounds even better live!

[@MadishapesF]

Agree 💯

[@teresajohnson1607]

He’s the bomb ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

[@avogrid296]

He sang this on Late Night with James Corden and it was also amazing! His vocals are not just technically great, but he sings with such emotion. Love him!

[@AndreaGlambert]

Last year I saw Adam live solo 4 times ❤ He is phenomenal ❤️ best entertainer ever ❤️

[@BarTGila]

He has 5 single albums and everyone of them is amazing. You really should give them a listen.

[@lauz7798]

Love your reactions. Please react to more Adam Lambert and you are right Bp2 this song should have been playing on Radio everywhere never understand why he doesn't get much radio play of his songs.

[@breathefree.]

This demonstration of Adam's vocal chops is a mere tip of the iceberg. It's absolutely mindboggling to hear the full extent of what he can do with his voice. This includes voicing several characters in animated films. Once you've had time to get a broader sense of his music and live performances, check out the voice he created for the devil in A Tale Dark and Grimm which was released in 2021.

[@einnanoslen]

Adam is THE BEST!!! 🙌👑🙌 Thank you for reacting to his songs! Seriously, listen to his whole album Velvet. It's got a 70's vibe and it's amazing! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

[@JameAndy-nd5vp]

Adam is AWESOME and I enjoyed your reaction video. More please!

[@firefighterchick]

This one is pure George Michael. If had my eyes closed I could almost believe he was singing it. Although there are shades of Elton John as well. Elton John and George Michael, Freddie Mercury, and others broke several barriers that gave artists like Adam Lambert a chance to showcase their talents. I completely agree with you BP2. I hear the song Father Figure in this along with the duet of Don't Let the Sun Go Down on Me. I truly miss George Michael. I loved his style and music. He was one of my favorites outside of hard rock and metal of course.😉 He was definitely an artist that back in the day I tried(mostly unsuccessfully) to tape songs off the radio as they played using blank cassette tapes.😂😅 I was too broke to buy all the albums or tapes that I wanted to 😅

[@04Bear]

Adam is the best male vocalist there is and he is brilliant. ❤️

[@carolyncappitelli1460]

Please check out the performance that started this ride. It was the finale to season 8 of American Idol and he and Kris Allen were the last 2 standing.. Queen were the musical guests and the finalists got to perform with them. Kris won the show, but Brian May discovered Adam. You can actually see when he sang next to him and loved what he heard. The rest is history. kzbin.info/www/bejne/p2encpZ3aLeNerssi=IgTfb9A1iTfROlHS

[@shaaadyz6381]

I mean, never fan girled in my life before, but here I am 15 years and still a fan of him 😊😂❤ Travelled to Japan last month just to watch Queen shows with him fronting it 🙌 just incredible.

[@shaaadyz6381]

15 years later**

[@hanafris3449]

Adam's Glambert here! 😃 Thank you, guys, for your great reaction! Adam is one of the best (live) singers, amazing solo artist, please check his all solo albums, it's worth it to listen to them.

[@RobChurch1988]

Adam Lambert has been influenced by so many musicians', bands, and artists and since he hangs out with Brain and Roger (Queen) hes been integrated into their circle of friends/bands and it's great to hear it in his songs. Give a listen to him cover George Michael its splendid.

[@janulake]

I love all of VELVET, this track is one of my favorites from the album. Also "Feel Something", "On the Moon", "Roses", "Velvet", "Overglow", ... ❤

[@tprince73]

Stranger you are and ready to run are my favourites off Velvet

[@MadishapesF]

So many favorites from that album! And from his earlier albums - sleepwalker, runnin’, underneath, welcome to the show, +so many more 😂

[@japcar84]

10/10 on the song and 11/10 for the teal shirt. 😉

[@MadishapesF]

Haha if the teal shirt is 11/10 can’t wait to see your scores on Adam’s real glam outfits and his shoes 😂

[@chrispavlich9656]

You guys should react to few of his American Idol songs from Season 8. I would suggest his cover of Smoky Robinson’s Tracks of My Tears and and another called Feeling Good. To see how good he was just starting out I really suggest anything from his American Idol days.

[@toramenor]

This was written before the lockdown lol, but it definitely fit for this live event during the pandemic. Adam Lambert is the best live vocalist, definitely, you should get into his solo live performances, you won't ever be disappointed

[@japcar84]

George Michael is probably my favorite artist of all time, and like others have said, this is giving me similar vibes (Adam's pitch may be a bit higher in spots). Love it, can't wait to hear more from this artist.

[@BritPopsReact]

@japcar84 I knew you had great taste japcar84, George had some great songs and was a huge part of my 80's Nice one""

[@MadishapesF]

That was a fun reaction to watch! Thanks guys! Love that you are discovering solo Adam ❤️ BP2, the look on your face!🥰 and I totally agree this song should’ve been a massive hit on radio

[@marshamoore5700]

Such a treat to actually watch Adam record this! So much soul, emotion and power in one performance. While I appreciate your comparisons, I feel Adam is one of a kind and unsurpassed in range, versatility, technical skill. I loved watching your reactions and analysis. Please react to more of his Velvet album Live Sessions.

[@hilsoncoelho418]

Fantastic❤

[@anniek4919]

Favorite Adam song ever. More Adam please!!! Will. Ever tire of his voice

[@MadishapesF]

“blimey it’s live” 😍😂😍 Adam live is AN EXPERIENCE

[@marilynpackham3914]

Please listen to Adam cover Faith and One More Try on Project Angel Foods in 2017 . He’s fantastic!

[@MadishapesF]

His covers are so good!

[@christinesaccoccio6446]

Speaking of George Michaels, look up his live performance of One More try at Project Angel Food fundraiser. It was also a tribute to George.

[@Deeonplanetearth]

That was such a beautiful tribute. ❤

[@marshamoore5700]

YESSS. Please

[@Frida...]

My favorite song by Adam is new eyes. But this is also good

[@karinaflores28]

Looooooove Adam !!

[@ltbkarem]

I'm Glambert since 2009 ❤

[@arrowsminnesota6846]

My favorite

[@Hawk-ODA212]

I'm not familiar with his work, but he has an amazing voice. I totally agree with you about the style of this particular song. If I close my eyes, I would honestly think it was George Michael until he hit certain parts of the song. Indisputably a George Michaelesk style and it's nice to see him filling the gap as you said. Thanks Madison, for a great suggestion. And thanks once a gain, guys for giving some of us a new artist to enjoy and a fabulous reaction.- Hawk

[@BritPopsReact]

@Hawk-ODA212 We had no idea about this side of Adam Lambert, we knew about his Queen relationship, but this side of him as you say, fill the George Michael gap and that is a very big gap to fill All the best

[@Hawk-ODA212]

@@BritPopsReact It certainly is.

[@katrinschulz2829]

Listen to his Œvre. He is much, much more than just George Michael! 😉

[@Hawk-ODA212]

@@katrinschulz2829 Thanks Katrin. He's a new artist for me and he has an incredible voice. It's just that it gave me vibes of George Michael. But he definitely has his own unique style. Thanks for suggesting Œvre.

[@katrinschulz2829]

@@Hawk-ODA212 Start watching videos of Adam from the beginning, before he took the challenge at AI (e.g. Crazy or Dust In The Wind), then watch all episodes of AI, season 8. It's amazing, you'll be speechless. 😁 The rest is history. Five solo albums and over 12 years with Queen. Much stuff for you but it's definitely worth it! 👌🏻😘

[@rebeccaoneson6305]

You have to listen to Who wants to live forever by Queen and Adam

[@deborahtorres276]

Love Adam….he’s Amazing!! 😍 Love watching your reactions 🤗

i love george michael...adam ups it a notch...❤❤❤velvet is the best but his covers are great too...also...he writes his own music...fyi...

[@cheryljohnson1658]

George Michael vibe. This is a tribute by Adam after George's passing . He is a unicorn in the music industry.kzbin.info/www/bejne/d4O6nn6wmp6ebqssi=ptWABtCaOkIQW28q ❤❤❤❤

[@paulamorrison8939]

I hear people constantly comparing him to Freddie Mercury and George Michael, I feel he is his own musician and he does not try to be either. He is an amazing vocalized.

[@carydeane-vy7tg]

He did a tribute to George Michael at Michael’s Angel Foundation .

[@СтрелокМеткий-д6ф]

Адам прекрасный вокалист и смелый парень. Мне нравится в нём то, что он даже делая каверы, он никому не подражает и остаётся самим собой. Все его альбомы достойны внимания. Вельвет - хорош, настольгия по 80-90-тым, в нем есть песни которые напоминают Принса, Боуи, Джорджа Майкла - всё то, что любит сам Адам и это настоящая музыке, а не та бурда, что сейчас в топе

[@rebeccaoneson6305]

You have to listen to Who Wants to Live Forever with Queen.

[@rockylarock-k4w]

Please play I don’t care much from cabaret. Absolutely beautiful!!

[@julicooke4266]

now try 'out lawss of love' at saint agnethe

[@paulamorrison8939]

Go back to American Idol 2009. He is just as much a solo artist as with Queen.

[@jaanaikaheimo408]

If you want more George Michael sung by Adam, check out this Faith as well kzbin.info/www/bejne/b560gHxsdrWGl6M

[@beaulah_califa9867]

THUMBS DOWN for not reading Adam's bio, even a quick count of the number of studio albums, or a glance to see how many gold & platinum albums he may have earned on his many world tours. I don't assume every Queen fan is arrogant but you two act like Queen found Adam on a street corner when Adam turned Quenn down initially. Every Glambert fan sees QAL as an equal partnership. Adam's still rising and Queen is at an end stage. Adam sings every genre even on his solo albums. He does say that Velvet does encompass the 70's and Queen's sound. You will not find other George Micheal-like songs since Adam is naturally more funk than R&B/Soul.

[@BritPopsReact]

Really?..... A Thumbs down! Bizzare!.... we have just found Adams solo stuff... like eating a bon bon for the first time and thinking yeah we shall go back for more... to be honest 40 years of Queen and 2 months of Adam Lambert so maybe give us a bit more time yeah lol ....

[@Welovescents]

Oh chill your fucking tits.

[@oldmanjimh3165]

Ok, but really prefer "Holding Out For A Hero".

[@bobbimccain2385]

He has sounded better in other songs…

[@xadam2dudex]

Try the live version it is really better I think
