Metal Vocalist Reacts - Adam Lambert FULL American Idol Run!!!

[@rbird2214]

I would recommend watching the documentary “The Show Must Go On: the Queen + Adam Lambert Story.” It covers how Queen and Adam Lambert got together after they saw him do the Led Zeppelin song on American Idol.

[@lillywhite0707]

A little about theatrics... Adam is currently performing on Broadway in Cabaret and is literally killing it.

[@cunningdeb3129]

And he dyed his hair back to his original strawberry blonde for a while and yes, he did look like his dad. He has since gone back to dark brown.

[@astridharding-voss2186]

There is a documentary of the journey from Queen with Adam which is called: " The show must go on" .... very worth to check out!

[@keithdockrell2889]

I watched that many times

[@valogden]

You can find it on KZbin. It was on Netflix for a long time.

[@jessierichie5564]

Alison (girl with red hair) worked with Adam on his velvet album, she was one of the background singers and went on tour with him , looks like she is still singing so that is great!

[@tweeterpie1]

Adam Lambert was by far my favorite Idol contestant. I’ve also been fortunate enough to see Adam sing live on 3 separate occasions, which is where I learned that he isn’t only an extraordinary vocalist & stage performer, but he sounds even better live than on his records. I’ve never, ever experienced that with another singer besides Adam. His voice is truly one in a million❤

[@tiny1silverslipper]

If I can't have You was one of my favorites, if not my favorite. Adam's performance was so beautiful.

[@hanafris3449]

Love your comments!!! And BTW Adam sang in Nashwille a country song Girl Crush with Leona Lewis at the 2015 CMT Artists of the Year awards and it was amazing! All country artists there loved it!

[@19Rena96]

When he sang Believe i was like hm sounds pretty good, but when you compared it to his Kennedy Center performance you can clearly hear how much he improved and he sounds even better.

[@LolaNelson-i1v]

John, thanks so much for playing the entire run of songs! I’m 73 , and I about fell out of my chair when I heard him at that first audition! Like you, I think that him coming in second was the best thing in the long run.

[@СтрелокМеткий-д6ф]

Lambert is a genius! His power of interpretation combined with a voice that has absolutely every dimension including the most beautiful tone l have ever heard. He has charisma and connects with an audience because of his depth and authenticity. This guy is awecome!

[@ninabuzanova9651]

There are no words to describe how phenomenal and multitalented this amazing human.ADAM deserves thousands of BRAVO for all of his creations in the world of entertainment❤ 🎉

[@СтрелокМеткий-д6ф]

"There are many good vocalists, but there are few like Adam. He sings as he breathes, what a pitch, and what an amazing timbre! To me, he is a vocal phenomenon whose genre flexibility has no precedent in modern pop and rock culture. Live he sounds esoteric! He's also a funny guy and humorist, and that's what I like. " - Anthony Hopkins Sir Anþhony was at three Queen+Lambert concerts

[@lindataggart9076]

QUEEN =Adam.. Thankyou for keeping our Queen -Freddie alive.

[@KMS58]

Adam! Adam! Adam! I was going thru an unexpected, unwanted divorce after 29 years of marriage. Adam helped me survive it. My oldest son got me tickets to his post- AI concert. ❤❤❤ Mad World was my favorite.

[@christinemilisavljevich4739]

I loved that season of Idol just because Adam brought something special to it. THANKS so much for this recap thoroughly enjoyed the trip down memory lane. I still listen to Adam!!! Eargasm :)

[@tiny1silverslipper]

After the show Allison had her own band with some success. Allison was only 15 when the show started. Adam took her under his wing, after the show Adam invited to stay at his home when he was out of town.

[@ddmaul]

His whole season was "American Idol with special guest performance by Adam Lambert." He's in a whole different league.

[@tiny1silverslipper]

Adam with Queen have been in concert all over the world

[@tiny1silverslipper]

As original as Adam was, he had strategy plus he can do anything with his voice.

[@marshamoore5700]

John, Kudos to you for taking on Adam’s AI journey. Your reactions were intelligent and authentic. Even though I have watched Adam’s AI Journey many many times, it was great fun seeing it through your eyes, and I actually enjoyed your commentary. Good job man!

[@Cookiebr8]

Adam was way better than any other contestant on this show that season.

[@lauracuellar293]

Alison was a background singer inthe studio sessions for Velvet. She had blue hair. She also opened for part of Glamnationtiur

[@janiceneville4475]

Hi,I’ve been watching your reaction videos for quite a while now and I really like your comments. I’m a glambert ,I live in Australia. I’m in my 70s ,you have such a beautiful heart , I was a nurse in a dementia hospital for a long time. So thanks for all you do for those people. I’ve watched Adam’s idol journey several times , he’s amazing, as are you. Greetings from Australia 🇦🇺❤

[@valogden]

M y son was living in NYC and called me to watch him. He was great! Adam's 42 and will be 43 this winter. He ages backwards.

[@63chickenhawk]

He was in Wicked on Broadway. He played Fiero/Scarecrow.

[@cynthiakochheiser9871]

Adam should have won American Idol hands down!!

[@victoriavelvet3689]

Adam was a Judge on the the last Australian voice competition, it was really good.

[@toramenor]

Wow, a monster video, love it! Adam Lambert is amazing!

[@sharonelliott2366]

Adam Lambert was born in 1982 (same year as my daughter) so he is now age 42.

[@SnugDK]

Seen Adam twice and met him both times - totally great guy, Down to Earth and all smiles and good hugger ❤❤ My all time fave idol. Seen him with Queen too - AMAZING 🎉 He Can sing the phonebook and it would sounds great ❤❤ Greetings from Denmark

[@SnugDK]

By the way John, THANK YOU for taking time to comment Adams performeses on idol ❤❤ They were outstanding !!!

[@KimmyGibson]

In USA....Adam...he was magnificent in person! In England....Olly Murs...a real showman

[@anikoles]

I missed this live, but I LOVED Adam Lambert after AI. I loved watching him grow up to who he is now. I know he'll never be Freddy, but I'm sure Freddy would have been happy that QUEEN is still going.with him singing.

[@JaneElston]

My opinion Adam is better singer than Fred!

[@anniek4919]

My favorite all time idol!!

[@teresayates6016]

Every time I open KZbin now, I always check your channel for any new Adam reactions. They're always so good. I hope you get a chancBTW, listen or react to Nessum Dorma or Soaked by Adam. A ton of other songs come to mind. I'm 63 and don't really know much about Patreon, but I may have to learn!

[@KimberlyKohn]

I love how enthusiastic Paula Abdul was about Adam; literally his cheerleader from day 1 through to the end of the show.

[@heavin6586]

I fell head over heels for Adam when ge did Play That Funky Music. After that performance I knew he was gonna be something special for a very long time Thank you for your tirade BTW, i agree whoke heartedly ❤

[@tiny1silverslipper]

He's been lead singer of Queen since 2012

[@victoriavelvet3689]

Love your full lambert sessions! Thank you

[@heavin6586]

Adam Lambert was By Far my favorite Idol contestant. We. In fact, quit watching after his season. If he cant win, it wasn't worth watching anymore, IMO..

[@elizakilleen925]

Yeah ... that was the last season I watched.

[@keithdockrell2889]

The best thing that could happened was him losing idol..hes a mega star now and wheres the other guy now?

[@CreativeMagique]

I need to remind myself this every once in a while recently. The other guy got more votes than were statistically possible out of Arkansas. It was not a transparent vote.

[@daisykoga2477]

I did believe Adam should've won, but the rocker viewership probably didn't have a goal to vote. They were probably doing something else that night. But it worked out really well for Adam! ❤

[@heatheryoung2213]

this was the song that caught Queen’s attention.

[@kiwigirljacks]

When the other guy won, he actually said it should have been Adam,literally right there on stage after he won lol.. even he knew that Adam should have won and the reason he didn’t was absolutely ridiculous due to the “scandal” of him being gay. Also… Watch the documentary recommended. It’s amazing!

[@tiny1silverslipper]

"Whole Lot of Love" Amazing!

[@deborahtorres276]

My all time favorite is Adam of course💜🥰 love your reaction to this and all other Adam videos🤗🥰

[@tiny1silverslipper]

John love your comments, they are right on point

[@Yvi2013]

I waited for his performance every week back then.

[@corpsemo]

Finding out that Adam Lambert is almost 43 has changed my perspective of everything

[@debbiepenny465]

Mad World was my favorite of Adam’s songs!! He is amazing!

[@LinoBoshof]

Adam is never "too much" ❤❤❤ he is my favorite queer Male adhd artist ❤❤❤ and next to him is yungblud! My favorite Female Artist is Lady Gaga❤❤❤

[@berniceho3792]

Thank you doing this, brings back memories. I missed the telecast at the time, but was introduced later and caught some of the weekly shows' reviews. One reviewer noted that in addition to vocals, Adam did try to distinguish himself with the audience in other ways too... like for movie theme week, when most of the others did ballads and soulful numbers, he "came skipping out" with Born to be wild. (Country week being the most obvious one too lol)

[@victoriavelvet3689]

I will never forgive Simon for that ring of fire comment 😮

[@tiny1silverslipper]

Amazing showman!

[@amandaiverson8542]

Fave idol contestant of ALL time is actually a tor between Adam and David Cook

[@SweetSlytherinGirl-Jennifer]

Adam was the first person on Idol that I ever bothered voting for! It's a tie between him and Chris Daughtry as far as who is my favorite of all time from that show.

[@JosiannePusterla]

Some iconic performances! I’ve been a fan since idol. ❤

[@vickyoliver1738]

I watched this when it was on and have never seen anyone better him in competition,he was amazing,I was really getting angry with the comments from some of the judges,the other guy who won was pale in comparison. However it didn’t do Adam any harm because look at him now with queen,and where’s the other guy ,never seen again

[@lauracuellar293]

The show ran late the night Adam sang Mad World. People taping the show missed it altogether. People were pissed.

[@TheDivayenta]

The Dawg is Randy Jackson - who played fantastic bass for Journey. Watch “ The Girl Can’t Help It”.

[@sheilatumpach2112]

I am a senior citizen with 5 grandkids and I was riveted to American Idol during Adam’s journey. My daughter and I watched together every week and tried to guess what Adam would do next. I was in 8th grade when the Beatles hit Ed Sullivan so I have to admit I hadn’t been this much drawn to a musician/group since my Beatlemaniac days. That’s a LONG TIME! I, for the first time, during that season followed some of the American Idol websites to read the comments of other fans of the show. A couple weeks before the finale Adam’s sexuality was outed publicly by a magazine. Headlines on the cover. He didn’t hide his gayness….he and the show just didn’t talk about it. But those last two weeks the far right Christian holier than thou comments were all about him being gay and not his performances. They really tried to push their hate agenda and I’m convinced Adam’s sexuality is what caused him to lose the competition. Luckily it all worked out fine for him. He has an extraordinary career and deserves all his success. I still listen to his cd’s and Idol performances in the car because I love his voice and interpretations. There’s an old KZbin performance of him as a very young boy/man performing in Brigadoon. You can already see he is something special.

[@mindykubat4232]

Great reaction, thanks John. He is really the best. ❤ Nice to see and hear a review of his full journey. 👍

[@cynthias5014]

I couldn't watch AI after that season. For years and still to this day I remember every song that he did as well as his outfits😅. I still get goosebumps whenever I hear him sing with probably the only exception being the Kennedy Center Believe in honor of Cher.

[@VickieV-he1vq]

Loved, Loved, your reaction. Adam Lambert amazes me.

[@victoriavelvet3689]

Adam singing George Michael is something to see.

[@elizabethwilliams8295]

Colton Dixon and Dalton Rappatoni, Iam Tongi, and Alejandro are some of my favorite American Idol people!!

[@СтрелокМеткий-д6ф]

На мой взгляд, Ламберт самый разножанровый артист. Я люблю его озвучку в мультиках ( его Максимус великолепен) в Рокки Хорроре критики единодушно нахваливали его комедийный талант, он отлично сыграл в Хоре, его саундтрек к фильму "2012" до сих пор один из моих любимых. Он дважды был наставником на Хфакторе и Голосе в Австралии, сейчас у него ведущая роль на Бродвее и как недавно сказал Роджер Тейлор в интервью, Queen готовы записать новый материал с Адамом. И конечно, то, что артист музыкального театра стал концертным вокалистом Queen - это вообще бомба!kzbin.info/www/bejne/n37MhH6Gnr2Gncksi=38k1fxCauXrx4N9g

[@RRbobreed]

Love your dog please show her off more often

[@shannonn9575]

Allison Itaheta toured with Adam at one point. She later had her solo projects and was a front woman for a time. Check out Halo Circus.

[@musa-too]

Adam is always amazing and your voice is the best to.

[@stacynn7556]

I’m sooo excited by this!!

[@tiny1silverslipper]

Yep, Anthony Hopkins. During Adam's AI season there were a number of celebrities and often with their spouse or children in the Audience. I had not see that in other seasons and I am pretty sure it was to see Adam's performances.

[@bigfanfromIdaho]

He's definitely one of my favorite AI contestants. I was also a huge fan of Melinda Doolittle.

[@binboh]

Adam Lambert will be 43 years old in January.

[@tiny1silverslipper]

Jamie was right, Adam idd "knock my head off" with "Feeling Good"

[@maitysenduk4050]

My favorite one Adam Lambert

[@tiny1silverslipper]

Lol, how could anyone have not figured out by now who Adam is and how over the top he is, Randy LOL!

[@christinabollman795]

Adam is amazing! My favorite was Chris Daughtry and Clay Aiken

[@sandraagolia6890]

Yes

[@sashieldmalvo]

Thank you John for this reaction, every now and then I watch Adam Idol performances. When you have a chance you should listen to his feeling good recorded version that he did at the time for iTunes. It’s here on KZbin, goosebumps I’m telling you, check it out, you won’t be disappointed.

[@tiny1silverslipper]

Simon Fuller not Simon Cowell chose 'Change is gonna come' for Adam to sing in the Finale

[@洪韻甯-d7e]

love adam😍

[@saramarcinkowski1630]

You should have watched this one. It has everything. Adam Lambert's American Idol Journey #15tHAnniversary

[@Bamagirl-uf8xn]

@JohnReavesLive I loved Adam Lambert on American Idol. My favorite AI favorite contestant is Clay Aiken.

[@karinaflores28]

Led Zeppeling song was it for Queen wanting Adam lambert as his frontman.

[@victoriagrove5344]

Favorite AI contestant of all time…..ADAM LAMBERT by a mile!

[@victoriavelvet3689]

I wish Adam had released feelin good

[@ACWhoCares2]

He was born January 29th, 1982..so he's currently 42 going on 43. 😂 😂

[@tiny1silverslipper]

yea Chris do have a good voice but you cannot compare Chris and Adam, Adam has one of the best voices in the world and he is in a class of his own (singing/performing)

[@andrewschreiber112]

I remember watching his original audition on American Idol and thinking to myself "this kid's going to be a HUGE star." He had that amazing voice, charisma, and stage presence, and he came across as normal - poised and confident but not arrogant or douchey. His talent is really obvious here, but I actually think that he's gotten better over the years. He's more polished, more thoughtful in how he uses his voice, but has lost none of the power and distinctiveness of his vocals.

[@elizabethwilliams8295]

And David Cook

[@susanlepage3591]

Ring Of Fire was shocking for the shows wholesome image. They wanted him to tone it down a little but the people watching were HELL NO.

[@kelliekeefer2558]

Paula was the original glambert. ☺

[@cunningdeb3129]

If you want rebellion in Adam's performance and it doesn't bother you him making out with Tommy (his straight bass player) then you need to react to his performance of Purple Haze/Whole Lotta Love from his Amsterdam show during the Glamnation tour. It was recorded by fans, not on TV, so he really let loose and let's just say there was some haze in the air. His fans lost their sh*t over that one in a good way. I don't recommend it unless I think the reactor is open to Adam being so open. Here's a link to a fan compilation of it, so good - kzbin.info/www/bejne/mKbahmmhbLeDaMU

[@aprilforgue]

He should have won. I think he got screwed when it came out he was gay and that probably hurt him some on winning. I saw him with my mom and queen he was great. I also saw him at his solo show.

[@heatheryoung2213]

I was so disappointed when Adam came in second. Anyone heard much from Kris lately? He was so in tune with Queen in the finale I was hoping he would get the gig with them. I saw them in concert and he is amazing. His rendition of Who wants to live forever on the Isle of Wight was heartbreaking.

[@rosemarywalshaw875]

Hi John

[@christyannification]

Adam Lambert has been the absolute best contestant! There are a few more great ones, Kelly Clarkson, Carrie underwood, daughtery ! But Adam for sure !

[@annietrahan7322]

He was my favorite contestant ever ! I don’t think Simon ever liked him

[@sasha07775]

Simon likes him.

[@cc5299]

Waiting for your reaction on JIN's new solo albam HAPPY❤👍💖
