FIRST TIME REACTING TO | ADAM LAMBERT PERFORMING "BELIEVE" BY CHER - REACTION

[@markbrooks8144]

He’s an extraordinary singer. Just about the only singer who could stand in for Freddie Mercury and tour with Queen. As he has many times since American Idol.

[@richardroyal9841]

More Adam lambert solo. And w Queen. Love your reactions!

[@SandraErickson-k8z]

Until I saw Adam sing this sing and I fell in love with his singing!

[@kenmerlin1099]

So beautiful

[@cunningdeb3129]

He came in second on Season 8 of Idol but he won in life - 5 albums in Billboard's Top 10 (newest High Drama came out last month), lead vocals of legendary Queen for 10 years, judge/mentor on talent shows around the globe, solo concerts around the world, voice over work, acting in TV and the movies, and writing a musical. From Wiki: "The Kennedy Center Honors are annual honors given to those in the performing arts for their lifetime of contributions to American culture. They have been presented annually since 1978, culminating each December in a gala celebrating five honorees in the Kennedy Center Opera House in Washington, D.C.[1] While the awards are primarily given to individuals, they have occasionally been given to couples or musical groups, as well as to one Broadway musical and one television show."

Great video! You're so fun to watch. Queen Mother Cher 😅 Love it!

[@JameAndy-nd5vp]

Adam Lambert can literally sing anything. I’ve followed him since Idol and he’s by far my favorite artist of all time. Nice reaction video❤

[@martineharmens835]

Beutiful.

[@bruschmidt9943]

This was the Best performance of that song I've ever seen or heard. Adam is in the Master Class!

[@viviennerose6858]

Adam Lambert is THE most phenomenal singer and interpreter of lyrics in todays world, and possibly Ever!

[@patst1944]

You should react to Queen with Adam Lambert doing “Who Wants to Live Forever” at the Isle of Whight concert. It is phenomenal! Love your reaction to this. Adam was runner up in American Idol, many like myself feel he should have won.

[@WoodsWoman822]

Absolutely!! LOVE THIS PREFORMANCE!!

[@vespoint]

YES!!! It was just after the mass murders at Pulse in Orlando. It’s breathtaking.

[@deusifer30]

Ugh…I can imagine!…

[@melissaechols7521]

Yes! Please react to this song! ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

[@frodejuulseth9360]

I love Cher and i love Adam Lambert's take on this Cher classic. I allso love how moved Cher was listening to this. ❤And I love your reaction to this this.😀

[@caroljshepherd3848]

I love that you're now recognising people you wouldn't have recognised when you started. Music expands our worlds, doesn't it? 😍

[@conniepauwels2145]

Adam’s new album of cover songs is phenomenal. Adam is one of the best vocalist and his arrangements blow us away

[@stacy4823]

His version really brings this song to life in a way you wouldn't notice it before.

[@debragonser745]

I don’t know how many times I’ve watched this and cried my eyes out!

[@crystalsmith4919]

Adam has such a beautiful voice!!!

[@tcat6133]

This is stunning and emotional. My favorite rendition of this song.

[@lilianalcasid1998]

Adam is the King of voice of this generation

[@MamawT65]

Absolutely adore Adam Lambert! His voice is amazing!

[@lala_sparkles8035]

There are videos on KZbin of him singing an acappella version of Nessun Dorma last October while on tour with Queen at a concert in Bologna, Italy. It's breathtaking!

[@shaybradad6150]

I remember watching the whole American Idol season with him and being amazed by his talent. In my opinion, it was a joke that he didn't win.

[@sherylmccollum895]

I'm glad he didn't. He is waaay too creative and talented to be under their thumb

[@gypsylaine4515]

@@sherylmccollum895 I was upset at first, but you are right, he was too big of a star in the making to be restricted by AI.

[@randipearson4930]

I’m glad he didn’t win now .. he wasn’t contracted to Idol and he had full power of his music and joined Queen as the frontman and did his own thing !! Just like Daughtry should have won his season but glad he didn’t now ! He became the lead singer for his band mates he had before the show ! Sometimes blessings come in a surprising manner !! ❤

[@randipearson4930]

Now he goes back to mentor the idols !

[@janetbreton7209]

He cannot only sing, but he’s really hot!❤

[@elainebarnes7870]

Adam came 2nd in American Idol 2009. Yes he has changed all the arrangements round not just a cover. Phenomenal voice. Apart from having his own successful solo carer he has been frontman for Queen for over a decade. This concert was an honours event for Cher all different people paid tribute to her by singing her songs This is Chers song Adam did not write it all Cher . Last month Adam released his new cover Album High Drama with Billie Ellish,Duran Duran, Sia,Culture Club,Kings Of Leon and Bonnie Tyler. He has reworked them and totally changed them. Got lots of solol stuff all great and saw him sing live in 🇬🇧 last month at his launch show of his new Album he was phenomenal cant wait to see him again in UK in June. Great reaction Britt thank you 🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧

[@en5589]

Lady...your voice speaking is too beautiful...and yes Adam made me cry too...incredible performance...

[@valogden]

What is really amazing is seeing Adam Lambert singing Nessun Dorma in the middle of the Queen show in Italy. He sang it during the soundcheck and Brian and Roger wanted him to sing it in the show as a show of respect to opera and Italy. It's incredible to see him sing it in the midst of their set and then go back to singing Queen's music. The man is incredible! He recently performed Chandelier on the AGT finale and it was spectacular! The person flying in the air won the show.

[@aitakirmam3009]

Yes you're right, he's THE Adam Lambert from American Idol 😅 What a phenomenal artist!

[@shwicaz]

I know most will talk about him performing for Queen, but his solo albums are amazing, give a shot to 'Superpower' and 'Stranger you are' are 2 of my faves.

[@m.harrison2151]

Look at you with your cute curls!! Adam is such an underrated singer! He’s fantastic!

[@chicochi3]

He's not under rated. He wouldn't be singing with Queen if he were under rated.

[@Pilutta100]

Would love for you to do more reactions to Adam. Appreciated this much. Hugs from Sweden.

[@victoriavelvet3689]

The hands over the face is the way I end up most songs live with Adam! Love this reaction thank you.

[@Lekha84]

I love Adam Lambert! He is a gorgeous man and his voice is stunning! I remember watching this performance on TV and absolutely loving it. I love the original because of the upbeat dance track but I love this version more because it shows the vulnerability of the lyrics. The lyrics are the star of the song, not an upbeat background. I remember writing to Adam Lambert when he was on American Idol as a contestant and he wasn’t even in the top ten yet. I wrote to him saying how much I love him and his voice, I asked for a personalized autograph, and then I ended it with saying that I was looking forward to watching him perform many more times and to seeing him in the finals because I knew he was going to be there. About a week later, I got his autograph picture in the mail. His autograph is one of my favorites.

[@tprince73]

That’s awesome. So generous and loving to his fans

[@avogrid296]

His voice is like BUTTAH! Love this performance so much!

[@queenmahsa3761]

First I love adam lambert, but.. Girl!!! Your skin is amazing!!!

[@HelloClarice80]

Adam is stunning. I got tickets to see Queen with Adam in Phily in October and I'm so f*cking stoked. ❤❤

[@jamiem4941]

You are right about it being a party song for Cher. Was one of the first to use auto tune. Adam has an amazing voice and I love his arrangement. Thanks for this! Pentatonix had this in their 90s Dance Medley.

[@B3thBakes]

He has the most stunningly beautiful voice and range. So much skill and talant ❤

[@karehelene]

He did a great cover of Mad World on American Idol.

[@randystalnaker6700]

❤ ahhhhh....you noticed the gasp!

[@stoneanderson3110]

Got a chance to see Adam Lambert live in Las Vegas in 2021 he is always amazing ❤️

[@toramenor]

Love this ❤

[@SusanDavis-k8v]

He is singing this song from the heart, with feelings. When he sings the line, "And baby, I'm too good for you." That little smirk says it all. I love him. No one can come even close to his singing.

[@TaskForceB]

Love this

[@jpc102859]

Yes, Adam is truly phenomenal. I have followed him since his idol days. This is however the first time I have come across your page and I must say your reactions and comments are the most genuine I have seen and I watch these things go alot. Really enjoyed this, thank you, subscribing now.

[@SouthernArtist77]

He made Cher cry…. He made me cry.

[@erikagolcher1353]

Adam is extraordinary and so handsome.

[@michaelangelo8038]

As a musician, I usually watch reactions more so out of curiosity but I really enjoy watching you react to certain artists because of your genuine appreciation for talent. The Kennedy Center has had some great performances, one of my all time favs is the incredibly underrated Bettye Levette covering the Who's Love Reign. You can feel the audience being mesmerized by an artist few knew prior to her rendition. Adam was amazing and so was Ms. Lavette.

[@Yowza78]

I love Bettye Lavette. She does an amazing cover of Dolly Parton's "Little Sparrow." She does a LOT of amazing covers.

[@lynnshulman]

Adam Lambert came in 2nd in 2009 American Idol, you were right, but he's one of the top alumni of that show, as others have said, fronting for Queen since 2011, having met them first at the finale of American Idol his season. I have been following this man ever since 2010. I'm so glad you have done this one -- great introduction to his amazing talent. He is best as a live performer!

[@caitgrigsby761]

Adam lambert is the best male voice out there.

[@marykCLT]

The min I heard him sing this, I bought it.

Adam’s Amazing….super reaction 💜😌

[@KB_-_]

Love him!

[@steveullrich7737]

That's the definition of what a tour de force performance is!

[@cookiedoreo3548]

Oh girl, this song still makes me cry right now. Adam did a rough version of this during his American Idol auditions in Hollywood in 2009, so he's had it in his arsenal for a long time. I've only got to now him 2 years ago and I've been smitten since. It's fair to say that catching up on a decade of Adam has taken over my life but man, he is by far the best vocalist and sadly most underrated voice of a generation. With this performance, I had to watch and listen with breaks in between because I thought I would break into pieces on an emotional level. Even now, it just makes me cry even when it's on in the background. The two "uh" near the end bits is used to put more emotion into the lyrics.

[@heathernelson5624]

I'm like you I fell down the Glambert rabbit hole at the start of the pandemic and I haven't looked back since.

[@chrisspickerman8864]

Kennedy Center Honors are one of the best things to react to. They honor one artist every year and many celebs show up. When the honoree is a musical act, many performances of their songs are done as a tribute of sorts.

[@mellycook]

They honor more than 1. It’s usually about 5. That’s why Reba was sitting up there she was an honorary as well

[@chrisspickerman8864]

@@mellycook Wow I just looked it up. Turns out they do honor quite a few. I guess I was confusing them with the Mark Twain awards. Good Call.

[@NeetkaAbru]

The Kennedy Center honors individual artists each year, a very select group. This song is being sung for Cher in the year she was honored, it was a huge hit for her late in her career

[@suzannezethner8180]

His voice is incredible!!!!!!!!

[@robertcrundwell2782]

The Kennedy Center Honors is televised once a year. Awards are given to five artists for recognition in their field. Well worth watching

[@melissacaddell2604]

Any time I see Adam Lambert is going to b on any show - I am there to listen. I love to hear him sing. He is absolutely amazing.

[@beverlyinloes7349]

Adam Lambert came in second on American Idol that season, and the person who won I have never heard of again. Adam is a one-of-a-kind singer. Totally unique.

[@rickpallas2001]

OH, you need to personally check out the library of artists that have been honored at the Kennedy Center. The tribute paid to veteran artists often bring them to tears.

[@kirkrelf1402]

At this point you are my favorite reactor. You bring me joy, emotion, thoughtfulness, and the desire to go have the day I deserve. Thank you.

[@texasseastar]

I've seen this recording of Adam's version of Believe probably a dozen times and it gets me every single time. You are correct in that Believe was a dance track and like most, I never really listened to the lyrics. This stripped down version is phenomenal.

[@stevedurnell4002]

Such an great voice he sings and your with the rock band Queen as lead singer right now.

[@sixslinger9951]

to think that Simon Cowell wasn't impressed with his 1st audition on AI. this dude is phenomenal.

Adam sings with rock band Queen right now Britt.👍

[@marshamoore5700]

Britt, I love your reactions, and the way you picked up on the nuances of Adam’s performances. Please react to more of Adam. I suggest his performance of “I can’t stand the rain” from his latest High Drama album. Looking forward to seeing more from you too.

He was 2 ND in idol that year. I have loved him thru the whole idol shows and its the first and last time I watched the whole season

The Kennedy Center Honors is always a great show. It's on in mid December and airs on CBS.

[@joehohmann6015]

I remember back on Idol he did this version on Believe for 10-2-0 seconds sounding phenomenal as usual and Simon stopped it to critique it. What an a-hole move at the time. But I'm glad we all get to experience it the way he intended and so masterfully done too. I love Adam and am glad he shut up all the haters !!!

[@jessesanchez9893]

For Queen to make you their Front man speaks volumes..

Although he definitely should have won he came in 2nd. His voice his incredible and i love the way he made this song his own. He is amazing!

[@Kitchguy]

Great song great reaction. 👍

[@patriciawilliams1416]

He has been one of my favorite singers since I watched him audition for American Idol. He was runner up.

[@suemoore6445]

In 2009 Adam came in 2nd on American Idol. Adam has never hidden that he is gay, but back then contestants on Idol were not to share their private lives. Just days before the finale a gossip news media broadcast a picture of him with his boyfriend at the time. He came in 2nd, losing to a Christian singer, who no one’s heard much about since. Adam is known for his kindness and talent! He has such a huge solo career and also lead singer of Queen. Tours the world! So talented! Wonderful role model for the LBGQ+ community and anyone seeking to succeed in entertainment industry!

[@ladylisaromance8129]

He won runner up on Idol. It's crazy he didn't win and baffling that Jennifer Hudson came in 7th the year she was on. But Kelly, Adam, Jennifer, and Carrie Underwood are some of today's best vocalist.

Thanks!

I've adored Cher since I was a kid watching "The Sonny and Cher Comedy Hour" yeah, I'm in your older demographics. 😊 Adam Lambert does that song such justice.

[@jazjasmine9496]

The biggest difference is electronic auto tuner used with Cher's version; I love Adam's softer, but powerful version, maybe referred to as a ballad. I love it and what a tribute to Cher!!! Thanks for your reaction; I agree with your thoughts. Ultimately, it is empowering and says we are strong!!

[@daleb1279]

Kennedy Center usually inducts 5 artists/groups from the performing arts annually, from acting, dance, music, stage, etc... To be a Kennedy Center honoree you must be a legend in your own right, this was Reba and Cher's year. Auntie Dolly, George Jones, Johnny Cash and yes Reba are among the country music honorees. Movie stars like James Stewart, Cary Grant and Barbra Streisand are inductees as are all genres of music greats like Count Basie, Ella Fitzgerald, Aretha and Ray Charles. There are only 248 people honored to date and the president and first lady typically attend these awards at the Kennedy Center and the honorees sit in the audience and people who are singers have top notch talented singers performing their greatest hits. Pretty much you must be a legend to be given this honor.
