Vocal Coach Reacts to Adam Lambert 'Believe' Cher

[@kaiatherton]

while I am fully aware of his work with Queen, I have absolutely no idea why he isn't one of the biggest stars on the planet, nor why he isn't one of the most successful recording artists in history. He is truly amazing.

[@carolhagerty4288]

I so agree. If I had to choose only one artist to listen to for the rest of my life, it would be my favorite Mr. Adamazing Lambert! Hands down, no contest. He’s incomparable, untouchable.....by anyone.

[@hessla23]

I've been wondering this since he was on Idol. Legit hung vote for Adam posters on every locker in my highschool. He's great and the world doesn't deserve him

[@HarlemRain75]

Maybe he hasn't sold his soul as much as the others that are far less talented.

[@callumsinclair2562]

He’s openly gay. When he started in music that wasn’t popular at all and so he basically just got pushed aside by the business

[@chrispavlich9656]

@@callumsinclair2562 Just proves people favor fake over real.

[@feg3akatrey144]

I try to attend the Honors every year and I was fortunate to be in the audience for that performance (btw, just being in the room with CHER was an honor for ME!!). You cannot really hear it on the recording, but there was an audible gasp - like ALL of us - when he went UP on that note, mouths hanging open in awe. Definitely shivers-inducing, one of the most amazing performances I have ever seen in my 15+ years of the KCHonors. TY for the analysis, wonderful comments and insight!!!

[@ruthiemay423]

Everyone in the room was completely transfixed on Adam and they should be. He is phenomenal!!! ❤❤❤ What an experience!!!

I've heard Brian May of Queen has said he sometimes forgets to play when he hears some of the things Adam does with his voice on Who Wants to Live Forever.

[@davidfletcher4449]

That performance was one for the record books!!! He is so under-appreciated.

[@lararoostalu9318]

Adam needs support....strange that he still has to prove that he's one of the greatest vocalists of our generation.

[@carolhagerty4288]

He’s definitely THE greatest, but I don’t think he personally feels like he has to prove anything to anyone. He’s not that kind of person. I think he just finds joy in singing and performing for people.

When he was on American Idol he changed the songs so much and made them new. Just go back and watch a few. He has a voice out ogf this world. Anytime you hear his voice you will know its him

[@kateriley4261]

I’ve watched this performance countless times and still get chills.. A vocal master class. Adam is so incredibly talented.

[@mankivenon7261]

Adam Lambert is the best! His voice is strong, beautiful and intense. In addition, he can sing properly and convincingly any musical style. I love the "drive" in his voice, providing a metallic and ripped sound, perfect for Rock !!! Adam is more than a singer. He's a brilliant showman.

[@nate8525]

He's so amazing!!! Definitely agree he is one of the best male vocalists we have now.

[@valogden]

I'm a recent Adam Lambert fan and I have fallen in love with his live performance of Closer to You. It would be fun to see your evaluation on a song he has written.

[@TShay92]

How is he not ruling the charts ,I don't know This man is so underrated, it actually hurts. Theatrics, fashion, vocals, he is everything!

[@jeffdiggs7030]

I've seen this a few times and thought that he's so underrated and a really good vocalist. Cher seemed to have felt the song in her heart and loved every bit of it.

[@mikeykm1993]

This is the best rendition of this song one ever heard. Ella Henderson has done it in a similar fashion and I thought she was brilliant but he blows that performance out of the water. Cher’s reaction says it all!

[@TheLambertLover]

Just FYI, Adam did this version in 2009 during American Idol, years before Ella.

Amazing performance. I loved your reaction and analysis of this performance!

[@matthewa3841]

Simply perfect. So delicate

[@sasha07775]

It’s funny you said he wasn’t nervous. He’s actually said he was very nervous singing this for Cher. If you watch him pass the mic from his left hand back to his right hand at about 4:33, you can see his ring trembling on his hand. The fact that he has expert control over his vocals even when he is nervous makes him a master at what he does. (IMO 😉)

[@cko1005]

Adam is AMAZING!!! He has a beautiful and Powerful voice! Fantastic vocal skill and technique.

[@MetamorphoseostouXR]

Magnificent. But I am also surprised by the beauty of this song. I used to dance Believe when I was a young guy and I've never really listened to the lyrics. It's a jewel!

[@brendanpilkington1446]

I love how they stripped this song back from how Cher sang it. You appreciate the lyrics and their meaning more now. The fact that even Cher was in tears towards the end when he hit that big note and the key change says everything. This song has been performed at so many times and this is the best version for me.

[@camillep3631]

don't know if you know this but a mere 24 hours before he was in the UK singing at the finale of Strictly Come Dancing...jetted back to New York and did THIS!! THE TWEET CHER SENT AFTER THIS- SHE COULDN'T FIND THE WORDS- he is astonishing [damn caplock!]

So wonderful. The renowned music director, Michael Orland, who worked with Adam on Idol, loved this performance and he was so very proud of Adam. Michael was also the musical director for this award show. Thanks for your honest enthusiasm for Adam's talent. He makes it look so easy, but it's nice to hear a vocal coach, who realizes the skill it takes to deliver such an amazing performance, admit she gets cold chills listening to Adam's "Believe."

[@MrStGeorgeIllawarra]

I choose to believe he took his earpiece out cause he knew he had this in the bag.

[@jcompton8507]

Adam is known for taking his earpiece out during songs. I don't know if it's a nervous habit? Or if he only likes having it in until he knows for sure he's plugged in and on tune? But he even did it back in his American Idol days...
