Metal Vocalist First - Adam Lambert - On The Moon (acoustic)

[@CTRiver14]

Acoustic Adam is the best with his runs and powerful and perfectly controlled vocals!! The U.S. has slept on ,to me , the most talented male singer! He is starring as the emcee in Cabaret on Broadway from October to March. Adam will be great in it!

[@maureenallfrey4053]

You rant as much as you want. I live in New Zealand and I've seen him twice solo and 5 times with Queen. The best, most versatile vocalist I've ever seen....Fell in love with that voice at his Idol audition...just amazing!

[@keithdockrell2889]

He's authentic, he makes no apologies for the way he is.. he's very much of the opinion, take or leave him.. and i love that about him.. voice of an angel, people with prejudice are missing out

[@cindycarpino6422]

Adam Lambert is not given enough credit…. This guy has major talent, can basically sing anything. He deserves all the success and more

[@queenrosered]

I've followed you now for quite awhile John and your reactions to Adam Lambert are my absolute favorites! YOU GET IT! Yes, he is truly gifted and should have a stack of Grammy awards by now! But not 1. 😥 Because of haters etc. He never complains though. He's kept busy the last 12 years touring as the lead singer for Queen and doing many appearances on talent shows as a guest and as a judge on several shows in the UK and Australia. He's not hurting. But you're right, he doesnt get the recognition he deserves in his own country. My hubby and I have traveled all over to see him live and met and shook his hand 3 times. He never forgets a face either! He is truly one of a kind AMAZING! Thanks for showing him some love and for having such great music tastes yourself! HUGS FROM LAS VEGAS! ❤❤👍

[@piscesmaiden44]

We fans have been echoing your sentiments for 15 years. If Adam had come along in the eighties, he would have been the biggest star on the planet. His uphill battle has opened the door for countless young alternative performers to express themselves in ways they never could have without his courage to remain true to himself. Thank you for your insightful reactions! Your channel is my favorite. Susan

[@donnakay2286]

I agree. I think even tho Freddie Mercury may have been a little jealous he would have definitely helped him anyway he could. Adam has the best voice of this generation. ❤❤

[@marlenemalin9808]

Why can't we just enjoy pure talent? He has a magnificent voice.

[@paulamorrison8939]

Adam is without a doubt my favorite vocalist since first seeing him on American Idol. I’m a senior straight woman who loves him!

[@salome5055]

Adam is incredible, beautiful, subtle and powerful voice, great songwriter and a great human.

[@lstapes7]

It is wonderful that Adam is an international superstar; some of the places he charts almost immediately upon releasing something aren’t countries that wouldn’t come immediately to mind if he wasn’t a huge international superstar. He has toured widely solo and with Queen over the world many times. And this summer, he became the biggest entertainer on China. They fell in love with him on a show called “The Singer”. Sadly, it is his own country that he is under-appreciated in. The British deserve him. They love him with Queen, judging talent shows, etc… . The U.S. doesn’t deserve Adam! But he’s doing great and will be the lead on Broadway as the Emcee in ‘Cabaret”. Thanks, as always, for your reaction.

[@peppermintcrush5794]

Adam is the best singer at the moment. Pop and rock.

[@ToniSolin]

I've been a Glambert since he appeared on American Idol and I feel the same way about why he is not a bigger star. Even after all these years people are still surprised when they hear him sing for the first time. I could listen to this boy (sorry, old lady here) sing the telephone book and I would be on the edge of my seat. I love to see people "discover" him and I love that his voice made Cher cry during the Kennedy Honors. Beside being a spectacular singer, he's a compassionate, humble and kind human being. I love Adam!

[@annarahn7564]

Adam Lambert !!! Doesn't get the recognition he soooo deserves!!! Thank you for being real !!!

[@karherineware3508]

Adam Lambert is in full command of his vocal instrument, totally comfortable in his own skin. I watched him on American Idol many years ago. You should watch the videos of his song selections from that time. After Idol he has toured with Queen for 10 years, and doing his own personal work. I also think he shines brightest on these more soulful songs. He is just magnificent. He is who is with no apologies, a fully developed aware human being!

[@jeffervescence]

Finally, someone who sees Adam for who he is, he's an astonishingly brilliant vocalist! Been a fan since I saw Adam on American Idol in 2009. From his performances on the show, you could tell he was very versatile. One simply cannot put Adam in a mold; he has so many layers and can sing different genres brilliantly. Like you said, Adam should be more recognized and popular than he is now. Thank goodness Brian May and Roger Taylor saw the brilliant vocalist and performer that he is. He got more exposure and recognition when he performed as their lead singer for Queen. I agree with you, that when Adam sings 'quietly' like this, his vocals shine brilliantly. Hopefully, Adam will make an acoustics album in the future

[@marcgoodwin4899]

In my opinion your opinion is right on. I totally agree with you and he is one of the most talented performers out there right now. Thanks for seeing it and saying it!!! Always love you dude.

[@hairtrix23]

You are saying exactly what I’ve been saying for all these years!!! I watched his very first audition for American idol and I “fell in love with his voice” huge fan ever since! Saw him live solo 1 time with Queen live 3 times!!!! No auto tune when you’re live.. he doesn’t know how to sing a wrong note! He’s super human when it comes to his voice. What a gift!! Thank you for joining my passion for this talented man! 🙌🏼👏🏼🥰🤩what are they NOT throwing every award at him!!??? LAWD !!!! 😅so underrated!!!!!!!!!!

[@chrispavlich9656]

He’s never treated people like shit like they have treated him.

[@JameAndy-nd5vp]

I couldn’t agree with you more about Adam’s talent! He’s my favorite vocalist of all time and he’s even better live! I’m so glad you recognize how underrated Adam is. Your reaction was priceless!

[@AdamLambert-e3l]

Thanks 🎉

[@victoriavelvet3689]

So glad someone else has vocalised what all the fans have known for years, I only knew about him from the u.k because of queen and that’s only because I got really into music when not at work for a long period. Once I found Adam I cannot go a week without listening!

[@AdamLambert-e3l]

Thanks for being a great fan so far 🎉

[@JosiannePusterla]

Stunning. He’s just amazing. Out of this world. And so genuine.

[@christyannification]

Adam is the absolute best, no matter what he is singing, I LOVE Adam..❤

[@СтрелокМеткий-д6ф]

Я обычный хирург, не музыкант, не эксперт, но обожаю музыку и ценю талантливых музыкантов. В моем топе Адам на первом месте. Его голос завараживает, на сцене от него глаз не отвести, таким сильным магнетизмом он обладает. Да, он порой возмущает, бесит, хочется умыть такое красивое от природы лицо от макияжа, но он такой какой есть. Я благодарен господам из Queen за то, что они с первой минуты разглядели одного из лучших вокалистов этой эпохи. У нас компания из врачей, журналистов, технарей и т,д. и мы более 12 лет ездим по всему миру, чтоб увидеть Queen +Lambert. Поклон вам, Джон, за профессионализм и добрые слова об Адаме, он их заслуживает

[@lenlobato394]

Your observations are spot on. Love your energy and enthusiasm!

[@jodicaryn]

I love his voice so freaking much. His live performances are just magical.

[@marshamoore5700]

John, You are spot on! Adam has been discriminated against! He is so under appreciated. Such a rare talent. Such a great guy. I love him so much. Thank you for your honest reaction.

[@meganamy9719]

HIS voice is the ULTIMATE musical instrument

[@elsie2119]

Adam is popular all over the world because of traveling and singing with Queen. I am 75 and I love Adam Lambert. My top five vocalists in my time are Adam Lambert, Chris Daughtry, Burton Cummings (of The Guess Who), Gene Pitney RIP(I said I was old!) and Steve Perry (of Journey).

[@lauraled1davis565]

He did his own world tour right out of American idol!

[@teresayates6016]

"Not enough of us know this!" I felt that in my soul, lol. Have thought the same thing for years.

[@lizzie6433]

ADAM LAMBERT is the BEST and he is a complete sweetheart. 💕💕💕 i

[@Cookiebr8]

You are right on point. Adam is one of the most talented and creative artists ever, and he has been discriminated against by the music industry. Its unfathomable.

[@marilynpackham3914]

Thanks for your great reaction, I so agree with your comments , it’s one of the greatest mysteries of all time why he’s been so underrated for so long, with his amazing talents. Not only that he’s recognised as being one of the nicest and most humble people in the music industry . Please keep up your Adam Lambert voyage of discovery and spreading the word out there! 🙏🏻

[@sandrakelley3210]

[@jaguangsunim4816]

Thank you for saying this. We have been frustrated about this for so many years. He is such an amazing artist and gets ignored by the music industry. Radio stations never play his music whenever he puts out a new album nothing ever gets played on the radio. He deserves great recognition for his wonderful talent. ❤

[@susanlepage3591]

If this was years ago{70s} we would have appreciated the vocal talent. In todays music he*s too powerful for radio. Too much talent for today.

Big Glambert here- Adam absolutely shines on this acoustic version. I love his versatility, hard work, kindness, humility, and humor. A stunning human being on stage and off.Thanks for reacting to his songs. ❤❤❤

[@etesvouspres]

Love your reactions always. Could not agree more about EVERYTHING you said about Adam. I have been a super fan since I saw him (real time) audition for American Idol. When he came in 2nd, aside from that being a travesty, I was actually glad... because then he could go out and do his own music right away. Which he did... and got slammed for the stage performance. And just like you ... I'm here for it and it made me want him to lean in as well... rebellious, authentic, he has a song called Two Fux :) because he gives none :)

[@cunningdeb3129]

He did this from his home during the pandemic for the Grammy foundation. He co-wrote this song and he did about 4 or 5 songs from his CD Velvet. Velvet was released a day or two before the world shut down and all his tour plans had to be cancelled. Side note: He was also going to go on tour with Christina Agularia and that was cancelled too. He also did an acoustic of The Wknds Blinding Light. His guitarist plays with DNCE. Also, starting Sept thru March, he will be starring on Broadway as the Emcee in Cabaret. He's done musical theatre since he was ten and has toured in Broadway productions world wide but it's his first time on The Great White Way. So happy for him.

[@lilyz2156]

He co wrote all the songs on his Velvet album and produced it as well. This album he released independently. Since Album #5 , High Drama, he's back with Warner.

Wow your feedback on Adam is impressive! It really warms my heart to hear a non-fan speak words that are constantly on a 'Glambert's' mind. Yes he is (in OUR opinion) right up there as one of the most talented vocalists in music PERIOD Thank you for appreciating the amazing artist Adam Lambert 😊 #YouAreNotAlone (a line used from his song Aftermath)

[@mirela8122]

[@tamarakruger8942]

Love Adam's voice no matter what he's singing.. and he can pretty much sing all different genres of music. His current EP is full of club jams and his voice still shines throughout. Yes, please react to all the songs he did for the Grammy foundation along with this song, and his "Live Sessions" videos he did for his album Velvet. Adam has such a unique, amazing and fantastic vocal instrument.. my fave! Love that you get it and you're getting his music out there by reacting to them.. really appreciate you!

[@lauz7798]

Love your reaction! Pls do more Adam lambert and totally agree with everything you said it's so frustrating as he's so talented.

[@lorimrasek7611]

Wow goose bumps right??!! When I first saw him on American Idol moons ago, I'm like this guy is going to win, every performance was unbelievable, needless to say Adam didn't need the win he's a remarkable vocalist. 😊

[@veneziastar]

That song was from his home during the Pandemic. He's had a lot of people like you who are disturbed by the obvious discrimination. However, he's gotten the last laugh, he's worth approximately 50 million dollars, he's laughing all the way to the bank. Obviously a lot of people love his music and think his personal life is his own business. Adam Lambert has been cast as the Emcee in Cabaret on Broadway from September 16th 2024 through end of March 2025. If anyone wants to see him and is buying tickets, make sure he is performing for the show you're interested since the understudies will be peforming instead of Adam Lambert for some of the Matinees and Evening performances. Adam now is making music for his community.

[@ArtaArias]

Wow... In just a few minutes, he eloquently and perfectly captured all the frustration we've been feeling for years! Welcome to the club, mate-this is Glamnation.

[@MadishapesF]

I love so much that he went there!

[@annewatts8555]

Queen never underrated Adam hence why he is their front man …. and it’s given Adam a wonderful life so far …. He loves touring with Brian and Roger and they say he is a gift from God, which is quite a statement from one of the greatest rock bands. Adam also has his own music etc going on in such a varied way! he has done amazing things since coming runner up on American Idol now with a healthy net worth and so deserving. John it’s exciting watching you appreciate Adam so much …. For those who underrate Adam I don’t think it makes any dent in this beautiful soul ….. a very handsome man too. I personally think he has the lot and maybe that gets under the skin of some! ❤🇬🇧🇺🇸

Finally somebody who shares my oppinion!!! I`m 63 and I have heard lots of music and lots of beautiful voices in my life, but he is definitely the best one I ever heard. I happenend to see him on TV at Davici Tribut singing "Lay me down" and thought, what the hell is he doing there? And then I started listening to everything he did in the last years and I just love him! Saw him once with Queen and once in a solo concert, awsome!

[@no_onein2024]

While I'm mostly a rocker, into different genres of rock, punk and metal, Adam Lambert has a RANGE that I cannot even compare to ANYONE else in pop or ANY genre. I loved the "Rock" vibes he gave when he was on American Idol and it's what caught my attention with him. All the "controversial" stuff later on was basically just double standard in the industry. I mean, cmon, Adam fronting QUEEN is "nuff said" lol.

[@MasiaDe]

Here is a funfact: he's more popular and known in china than the states I think. He legit went viral over a performance called singer. Not to long ago. XD

[@valogden]

The woman playing guitar is JinJoo Lee. She is the guitar player in Joe Jonas group DNCE and I have seen her playing with the Jobas Brothers too. She's incredible. Adam is absolutely incredible in this! Adam is in my top voices too. He got the hatred because he did the AMA performance and kissed his bandmate without telling anyone in rehearsal. He didn't know he was going to do it. He got caught up in the excitement. He was lucky he had the song Whataya Want From Me on the album and released it to worldwide acclaim. He also got a lot of crap from Queen fans when he took on the role of front man. He was great and Brian and Roger love him. You will still to this day 12 years later find people saying horrible things to him. I think it's been 15 years since he came on the scene from American Idol. There are so many gay artists that have been able to come out and perform as they want and be successful. Adam released his new EP of him being very flamboyant. It has made many diehard fans really happy and others confused. They all still love him but to quote a few, it was a lot more than I can personally handle. Some will leave but I believe the majority of his fans want his happiness.

Not sure if this is the video but at the end of the song he falls out of the chair. He’s quite a ham! Great sense of humor!

[@anja88888]

I fell into the Adam-Lambert-Rabbit-Hole some years ago and I have asked myself the same question ever since: 8:25. (Although it is not really a question: he once said that the US-society in average is slighty homophobic) And answering your thought about leaning into being rebellious even more: he just did this with his EP „Afters“. I think he is so brave - he knows that a lot of people - even some of his usual fans - will not like that - but he tells his truth nevertheless.

[@lstapes7]

I was just going to comment the same about “Afters” being his rebellion and anti-establishment statement! I don’t enjoy EDM/House music in general, but I did listen to it and found myself enjoying two of the songs that I have listened to many times since. This EP stirred up quite the controversy, and even some of his long-time fans thought parts were a bit much, but he needed to get this out and to his community, and I commend him for that. Now, I’m off to listen to “2 Fux” because it is just necessary. I like that he performed it on tour with Queen + Adam Lambert because Queen never gave 2 Fux” either, and it basically got them blackballed in the U.S. for years.

[@anja88888]
