Great reaction to a great singer. I think you'd enjoy Chinchilla 1:5

[@christinabollman795]

You should react to BTS. They seldom use auto tune. When they do it is on purpose.

[@Maggimae2367]

May seem clique or over done but I live Clair de lune, anything in French. And check out the band Skid Row I Remember You. It’s an 80’s hair band who’s frontman has incredible range.

[@AmyAnderson-fields]

This is Adam's voice, he doesnt need autotune, the man has a four octave range.

[@BarTGila]

This man is better live than on recordings which is so rare in the music industry. Live he is amazing both in his solo work and with Queen. You mentioned trained....yes since he was 10. Musical theater career before solo career.

[@Maggimae2367]

So true. Anything that I’ve heard with Queen has always been live and I’ve never heard a mistake. I’m sure there’s been some but really hard to spot.

[@dephii6908]

You can tell this is live because you can hear his necklace when he jumps towards the end.

[@celtcwrtr]

super fun fact... Adam's on Broadway (first time in 15 years!) as the Emcee in Cabaret at the KitKat Club replacing Eddie Redmayne starting September 16th.

[@hanafris3449]

He is known for not using any autotune, he doesn't need it. He is phenomenal!!! Thank you so much for your amazing analysis!!!🥰🥰🥰🥰

[@Maggimae2367]

I guarantee there’s no auto tune happening. I’ve seen him sing live more than studio work, he has fabulous pitch, he doesn’t need auto tune. And yes, he has extensive training

[@janetgrs]

since American Idol, I consider him as one of the greatest voice of all time

[@carmencastro6728]

Es el mejor, el único, espectacular la voz de Adam, dudo que allá alguien con el poder de su voz y presencia❤❤❤

[@anthonyscott5134]

His AI performances were ALL a step above ANY other performer’s performance!

[@Maggimae2367]

I’ve listened to the official video of this song and this live version is so much better. I don’t even know if I’d have fell so hard for this song had I heard the official version first. This is just so pure and perfect. He’s the best popular music vocalist of our time. He’s definitely theatrically trained but not classically trained. 9:50

[@sleepingwolf_8]

Adam has a full pallet of colors in his vocal abilities and he knows how to use them and especially where to apply them. Thank you for the reaction and pointing out his abilities from a vocalists point of view!

[@kathleenthomson3790]

I suggest Adam singing at the Kennedy Center celebrating Cher. He sings her song, "Believe". It was so beautiful that it moved Cher to tears.

[@annarahn7564]

Too bad we don't hear these on the radio 😢

[@teresayates6016]

Agree 100 percent.

[@kimhardy554]

I live near Houston TX which is very diverse & plays all kinds of singers on the radio but not Adam & I think it's bc he didn't hide that he was gay. The stations have surely played the hell out of Elton John, George Michael, Lil Nas X, etc. The only difference is that they all kept it a secret til they were famous Adam did not, he owned it & gets punished for his honesty.😢

[@KLWKHW]

Adam has said this song is a real vocal work out!

[@marshamoore5700]

Such a beautiful, masterful performance! His control of his vocal instrument is insane and is on full display here. He pours his heart and soul into this song, which apparently has special meaning to him. You are right. He makes it all look so easy.

[@victoriagrove5344]

This is a gorgeous ballad, written by Adam. He is brilliant, the best vocalist ever,❤❤

[@veneziastar]

You should check out Adam Lambert singing Nessun Dorma in Bologna, Italy in Italian, acapella as a gift for the Italian people. He was warming up with it and Brian May hear him and asked if he could sing it on stage; he said yes. Adam told Jennifer Hudson that he took one year of opera in high school even though the didn't want to be an opera singer, but he felt it was like ballet is the foundation of dance, that opera is the foundation of music. Adam just got back from China where he competed in a show called, "Singer", he ended up #1 on all the Chinese charts. The show, Singer, wanted to make it more real so they said no auto tuning or other mechanical devices to help the vocals of the singers so a lot of stars refused to participate, not Adam. Although, I can't imagine Dr./Sir Brian May ever working with a vocalist that needed machines to make their voice sound like they could actually sing.

[@sharonelliott2366]

Love this analysis. Adam never uses autotune, just FYI. He doesn't have to. And this is one of his "Live Sessions" that he did for Velvet since he was unable to do a promotional tour for the album.

[@jessierichie5564]

He saids he has used audiotune for recording sometimes, but Never live! For this he didn't use autotune because it is live..

[@sharonelliott2366]

@@jessierichie5564 Yes, point being that this a live performance, so no autotune.

[@dorkyvonmunchmunch9912]

such a great voice. disappointing he never received the mainstream success of many far less talented performers.

[@ethanhval9593]

What are you talking about!? He's currently and has been for YEARS the lead singer of Queen!!! The greatest rock band of all time. He's the only band approved replacement of Freddy Mercury. He's been touring with them constantly for years 😂 Yeah nobody really liked his solo stuff. It's not great. But he's doing fine

[@kriscynical]

From what I've heard, he's HUGE overseas, particularly in Japan and Australia. He was a judge on the Australian X-Factor for years.

[@kriscynical]

​@@ethanhval9593 "Nobody really liked his solo stuff" Hey now, speak for yourself there. Just because he's not mega huge in the US like he is overseas doesn't mean "nobody" likes his solo stuff. The industry isn't limited to the US. Even in the US his first five solo albums hit the Billboard Top 10 with _Trespassing_ debuting at #1. _For Your Entertainment_ would have hit #1 too if it wasn't for Susan Boyle's first album dropping on the same day.

[@ethanhval9593]

@@kriscynical fair enough 😊

[@bruschmidt9943]

All-in-All he's not doing so badly. His net worth is a cool $45 million.

[@bruschmidt9943]

Maggie I think you need to meet Adam!

[@keithdockrell2889]

No auto tune, he’s great live, seen a concert of his

[@valogden]

He sounds even better live. If he's performing at a smaller venue, you can feel his voice vibrate thru you. If you haven't seen him sing Who Wants to Live Forever with Queen at the Isle of Wight, I highly suggest you do. One of his best emotional performances live.

[@19Rena96]

she has already reacted to this

[@stacia2719]

I'll leave the technical aspect of this magnificent vocalist to you, but for me it's the emotional connection to the lyrics that captivates me! Thanks for the wonderful reaction.

[@veneziastar]

It is no longer a rumor, it has hit the news today, Adam Lambert has been cast as Emcee in Cabaret on Broadway, he will start on September 16th and perform until March 25th. He had been in the chorus in Wicked and understudy for Fiyero. His Voice on videos is great, but I've seen him in person and I can't think of anyone who can out sing him. Since you said he had a Broadway voice, I thought you'd like to know that he will be making is first appearance on Broadway in September 2024.

[@lucilleconsenza8239]

I can't wait for him to go on Broadway that's the voice he has for Broadway he doesn't have the rock voice to sing with Queen he could never ever sing or hit the notes that Freddie Mercury did

[@veneziastar]

@@lucilleconsenza8239 You have you have every right to your opinion. Adam Lambert is very much a take me or leave me kind of person, he doesn't really care whether you you like him or not. His estimated net worth per Forbes is approximately $50 million dollars. His vocal performances are loved worldwide. Queen chose Adam Lambert as their vocalist, Adam Lambert didn't chose them. Brian May calls him, " A gift from God." He's the only vocalist, Queen found, who can sing the entire Queen catalog, which Queen sold for a billion dollars to Disney. Considering the ages of Sir/Dr. Brian May and Roger Taylor, I doubt you'll ever see QAL in the U.S. so you'll never again have to listen to Adam Lambert sing with QAL. Adam Lambert loves doing private shows. He finds them a lot more fun than doing large staged shows. It costs between a $100,00 to $199,000 or more to hire him for a private show. He recently went to Morroco to perform for a private show and he just returned from Denmark from a private show he performed there.

[@TheLambertLover]

@@lucilleconsenza8239 Hmmm, I read the opposite. Freddie was not a consistent live singer. Freddie lowered keys, had to cancel shows, and even some videos are dubbed.

[@lucilleconsenza8239]

@@TheLambertLover you are out of your mind about Freddy Freddy sang Opera and he didn't look like the Halloween man

[@mirela8122]

[@michellepotter9541]

I have been to 2 of his solo concerts and 1 with Queen and he's amazing! His solo concerts are great too.

[@JameAndy-nd5vp]

Thank you for pointing out all of the different techniques Adam uses. I know nothing about the technical aspects of singing. I just know what I like and Adam Lambert is my favorite.

[@marshamoore5700]

Adam takes you on a journey, vocally and emotionally. He ends just like when one has a good cry. Perfection!

[@marlenemalin9808]

If you ever get to see him live, please do so. HE IS STUNNING LIVE.

[@Maggimae2367]

You should check out him performing Nessun Dorma with Queen in Italy. It doesn’t sound perfectly operatic but it’s still incredible. And the cojones it took to sing that in Italian in Italy, unbelievable.

[@erikagolcher1353]

Adam is simply magnificent.

[@deborahtorres276]

This is a live session which = Amazing Adam!! 💜 Great reaction….🤗

[@christyannification]

More Adam ❤

[@AZeye]

Check out his Cher tribute of Believe for the Kennedy Center Honors!

[@aalex5710]

Adam's vocal abilities grab your emotions and owns your soul

[@richardroyal9841]

Before every show even with Freddy band practice harmonies. The show never thought to do this opera song. Adam was warming Up 30 minutes to this Opera song he learned with vocal teacher age ? 10,12 Brian May loved it In home opera! Je wro Brian wrote and ending guitar piece. What a stunning treat audience to hear

[@lauralee4395]

My favorite of Adam Lamberts is "Believe" by Cher at the 41st Annual Kennedy Center Honors. He doesn't just sing this song, he caresses it.

[@janetmiller175]

Wonderful reaction. You ought to take a listen to Adam and Brian May riffing together during a QAL concert. It is other worldly.

[@betmo]

he's my favorite ❤

[@randbjack329]

Since you are Opera Trained, check out him doing Nessun Dorma!!! Gorgeous!

people always mention his theatre background but before Idol he was also recording indie dance pop with his friend and was in a rock band with Madonna's guitarist and heavy metal rock band Prong members. LOL He's so versatile

I wish Adam can listen to ur opinion analysis.....is great to see how can someone like u analyze his voice and be amazed by it. everyone likes to be recognized by others.... especially if it is good feed back.😮 I wish he gets to see this.❤❤❤❤

Loved this reaction already loved the song and the singer

[@berniceho3792]

Thank you for sharing your analysis of what on earth Adam is doing create the different textures and colours in his singing. I don't understand a lot of it, but I really enjoy hearing your explanations of why the same phrase, same notes can sound so different. Repetition is a mainstay in most songs, so making subtle changes each time to keep it interesting is absolutely fascinating.

Удивительная у Ламберта карьера. Малоизвестный актер музыкального театра буквально сразу после Идола получает приглашение от легендарных Брайана Мэя и Тейлора и более 12 лет является концертным вокалистом Queen. Он великолепен в озвучке мультиков и создает собственную музыку, причем в разных жанрах. Он непредсказуем и всегда интересно, что ж он будет делать дальше.

[@cindycarpenter7521]

I have enjoyed Adam Lambert Closer to You is typical. He is very special

[@ltbkarem]

Please react to Adam Lambert - On The Moon (from Velvet) - The Late Late Show

[@ellieyamane6019]

Adam pushes out his tongue when he puts high extended notes to produce more forward sound. Maybe that's what you are hearing when you ask where he's placing his vowel. He was famous for his tongue back in his Idol days.

[@anthonyscott5134]

Maggie needs to do a reaction video to Adam’s Kennedy Center Honors performance of Cher’s Believe!

[@richardroyal9841]

Ms Maggie you’re the best! Little know FACT. 1/2 hr b4 a show b ( with Freddy too. ) they practice harmonies. Brian heard Adam using ‘ Nes-a-dorma ( he learned this song Opera..coach. 25 yrs . Ago.their concert. In home opera show…you know city Italy went Crazy! This was not planned show ! On u tube How do I sponsor Adam? Richatd ITALY ‘

Yes trained and did kid theater starting early through to LA Wicked production but at some point he stopped working with coaches/teachers because he wanted the organic, rougher, rocker, unstructured somewhat - sort of to unleash other parts. I am sure he came back to having coaches but interesting.

[@plantlord3266]

not bad voice smooth, def a tenor as he hits highs easily carries his presence on stage
