Metal Vocalist First - Adam Lambert ( DOUBLE LIVE REACTIONS )

[@yingli572]

He is the most comprehensive singer in my mind, full of surprises. Genius, superstar, my king!

[@yingli572]

real rock soul

[@BarTGila]

These were 10 yrs apart and Adam wrote Underneath so it is totally him. Thanks for the reaction.

[@mlmartin2922]

Underneath is one of my favorite songs by Adam. ❤

[@the_Real_Grammy_of_6]

Said by a true Glambert 😊

[@judithwilson3561]

In one performance of Underneath from that tour he became very emotional, arms open like a crucifix then jabbed his chest mouthing 'look at me'. I swear he was in tears. His partner was in the crowd with Adams mother, so maybe he was singing for them, he certainly gave it his all.

[@Cookiebr8]

This dude sang opera Nessum Dorma while on tour with Queen in Bologna Italy. He does have a great range of talent and styles. Thanks for the great reactions… totally appreciate your take from the metal perspective. ♥️

[@lorriredmon8212]

I think Adam is extremely brave being that vulnerable with his lyrics. He's a deep and complex man. I love 'Underneath'. Thanks for these.

[@cassandralyle7121]

I was at that show in Vegas where he sang Underneath. It hit so hard. You could feel the emotion pouring out from him.

[@elkevera]

Love the raw material John.-- I can also tell you as a Queenie that I see exactly what Sir Brian May and Roger Taylor saw when they put him on the stage. Not to replace Freddie (NOONE can do that) but to bring the drama and colorful performance back. Adam is truly a great artist !

[@lstapes7]

Well-said😃… and nobody can replace Adam! His musical signature will also be part of the legacy to so many new Queen fans who have only ever known him as the frontman for these great songs. Many of these fans of Queen + Adam Lambert have by now downloaded so much of Queen’s original discography. I do not remember which famous rocker it was who, to paraphrase, commented that Queen had been fortunate enough that lightning struck twice, but I agree. I’m a big fan of both Freddie and Adam.

Absolutely a one in a life time artist!!! I love him!!!!

[@kimhardy554]

Underneath is one of the best songs I've ever heard & seeing it sang live in Vegas was truly unbelievable & emotional.❤❤

[@ERI9NZ]

I was at the NZ show and the crowd went insane when he sang Enter Sandman! It was a one-off performance for that show only, I was so fortunate to be there. It was absolutely incredible!

[@daleenengelbrecht4861]

My 2 obsessions; Pentatonix and Adam Lambert. What a voice!! Tx for this. Greetings from South Africa

[@celtcwrtr]

Adam & Tommy Joe's make-out schtick back on the Glam Nation tour was on the regular (yeah all throughout the USA) as a FU to the pearl clutchers after his AMA performance got so much heat.

[@queenrosered]

Thanks so much John, for delving into the music of Adam Lambert! He is VERY INCREDIBLE LIVE! He cowrote Underneath. As for his vocals, he studied music for many years and takes great care of his instrument! Please give us more Lambert! A couple years ago here in Vegas he covered Closer ( by NIN) and Personal Jesus (Depeche Mode) which shocked his Glamberts, in a good way! Hugs! ❤💋 😗

[@lstapes7]

I was also at the Vegas concert and got to see him twice. On one of the “Underneath” performances, he came out very close and in addition to gesturing to himself, was crying. And on a completely different note, “Closer” and “Personal Jesus” were so great, as was his “Black Hole Sun”. I really appreciate your reactions. I have drastically curtailed the number of reactors I listen to; you are clearly genuine. That is why you appreciate that in a performer.

[@camillep3631]

I was at one of the Vegas shows too, Black Hole Sun was epic

[@Sharon-sj1hx]

Loving your Adam reactions He’s an amazing vocalist. Hope you get to see him live solo or with Queen.

[@annetedrick8196]

I was at the show he sang Underneath. It was paired with Closer to You and was absolutely gut wrenching. I went to the next show and Underneath was not in the set list. A very emotional moment.

[@vgeorgieva4209]

Underneath is a masterpiece

[@valogden]

Adam is so funny onstage. He has a great sense of humor. He sometimes has Halloween concerts in Vegas and dresses in a few costumes during the show. I just loved when he was kind of dancing between transferring between 2 songs and he points up to the horns he was wearing and said I'm so horny. Tommy is straight but Adam would kiss during a song. He's the one Adam kissed at his performance at the AMAs. It set Adam's career back. When he released Whataya Want From Me, it saved him from being a music outcast. I love Underneath. It's at one of Halloween concerts. There's a story behind the song. He was writing this with cowriters and recording it in Nashville. He got called away to the phone. When he came back he was upset. He told them it was an interview. Instead of talking to him about his music all they wanted to talk about his personal life and being gay. He went in with all the emotions and recorded this.

[@NervinGillett]

So Sad His Sexuality Is All That People Can Think About !!! I LOVE THIS SONG SO MUCH !!!

[@NervinGillett]

As Well As Adam ❤❤❤❤❤❤

[@marshamoore5700]

Yes, he recorded this for his album in one take after the interview.

Thanks for a great reaction, no one comes close to Adam, he’s simply outstanding, every single time! Please keep them coming, there’s so much more Adam to see !

[@marablemorgan8292]

He's never been shy about who he is...

[@Marvi550]

Adam Lambert is the GOAT

[@nancyr9010]

I was at one of the Las Vegas shows when he sang Underneath. It felt so raw, so intimate, like this was just for us, his smaller venue supporters. Breathtakingly, heartbreakingly beautiful.

His voice is epic. Nice reactions.

[@rachell4973]

Underneath is probably my favorite Adam song hands down, the lyrics are so raw and beautiful.

[@elaynaterrell3576]

I'm a massive metalhead but I have adored Adam since he was on American Idol. I have a theory that he can do no wrong musically.

[@MadishapesF]

that is an accurate theory!! 😁

The no edit format really worked for this video. I am enjoying your dive into Adam Lambert. I love watching people be amazed by his talents.

[@cheryljohnson1658]

So happy you're down the Adam Lambert rabbit hole. When are you posting the other 2 on Patreon? I will be on it instantly. He has his new EPcoming out July called Afters. An adult dive into his life After he gets with friends when done with his long tours! I've heard it will be honest and naughty with another creative direction. Uh-oh 😊 Loved this reaction as usual! No edits work for me.

[@heavin6586]

Adam could literally sing the phone book and sound amazing doing it 🎉🎉

[@remavineyard]

Love your reactions to Adam!

[@jeangemmel7895]

I remember AL from AGT and he was absolutely breathtaking in his performances. Sadly his 'lifestyle' has had more publicity than his talent which is truly sad because he is one of the most talented singers I have ever heard. These 2 songs were very good and I felt really emotional for him in the 2nd one as I think his real self was singing these words. God Bless take care xx Jean from Scotland.

[@sashieldmalvo]

Thank you for a great reaction John, I’ve watch the second video many times and still tear up, ILHSM 😊

[@glam_bertini]

I like the no edit format. More natural. And Adam is srsly entertaining. He's born to perform and so fun to watch. Really enjoy your reactions. Thanks!

[@lovesmusic0845]

One of the best vocalists and performers out there. He rocketed out of that Idol loss and has made a spectacular career. You should check out his appearance on Jennifer Hudson’s show. It’s short but powerful.

[@lindsaycrellin4588]

Great reaction without editing love Adam ❤❤

[@lesliepotts5825]

Thanks for your reaction…Enter Sandman …so much fun. As mentioned, he was a co-writer. Beautiful voice in Osaka performance years ago ( no tattoos) going from cover of Stay into Underneath, actually any of the performances in Japan are amazing,

[@melissadavis4981]

Idk what I'm about to see but I'm SO stoked! I was a huge Idol fan from Rueben Studdard on to Adam and he was unlike anyone I had ever heard!

[@sharonelliott2366]

Great reaction to my favorite singer. I'm glad you mentioned aging vocalists. I'm sure Adam has alot left in him, but it true that voices don't last forever. He has already given so much to the world.

[@JosiannePusterla]

Please listen to “West Coast” performed on American Idol. And “the show must go on” live with Queen. I saw Queen’s concert in Denver . Outstanding. Unbelievable.

[@elainesevigny]

Adam sang Enter Sandman last October 2022 during his Witch Hunt Tour and I think his voice is way better now. He did write the lyrics to Underneath.

[@KathyTerpstra-zf6so]

At one of the Vegas Halloween shows he also coverd Closer by NIN

[@toramenor]

No edit works great for you 👍 love Adam doing all these different types of songs, shows how versatile he is as a vocalist. Also, yes, writing songs stays forever, but also recordings stay forever (even if somebody does covers, a great voice is still a great voice. Whitney Houston doing I Will Always Love You is forever iconic even though she didn't write that song)

[@keithdockrell2889]

Adam was a little wild back then, re. first video, he had some back lash from live tv stunts he did too.. but fair play to him, he’s true to himself…and now he’s matured into himself, he’s a great likeable guy. And his voice has matured perfectly too .

[@anniek4919]

Wait until you see what he is coming out with… He is still naughty in 2024. Take a peek at his Instagram teases for his song coming out tomorrow.

[@mlmartin2922]

Thanks for posting this. I've seen him do other covers live, but never Metallica 🤘. The 1st time I heard Underneath, I'd bought the CD it's on and played it in my car...I just started bawling, because it hit home. I still cry when I play it.

[@veneziastar]

I was at the The Venetian in 2021, which was the first time a show was open there after the pandemic, when he sang Underneath at the show and I had to grab my kleenex as the tears rolled down my face. Adam felt that song to his soul and was able to project that through singing Underneath, which is an incredible song, I bought it too. There was part of me that wanted to let the people who hurt him so deeply a piece of my mind, but bigots are bigots. I'm more than tired of the press etc. asking gay people what they do in their bedrooms, they'd never ask their straight friends the same questions because if they did, their friends would never talk to them again. Everyone should be allowed a private personal life.

[@mlmartin2922]

@@veneziastar I am a supporter of the LGBTQAI+ Community and I totally understand what you're saying and the purpose of the song Underneath. I can only imagine the bigotry that Queer people (if I may use that terminology, I still HATE that word due to it's negative connotation in the past, but I know the Community has taken power of that word).have to deal with on a daily basis. There is no reason for such hate. I love people who are able to be as authentic as they can, but also understand some still struggle and may always struggle and that hurts my heart. The song for myself, the lyrics, say what I think inside my head, because of long term abuse (and I mean in EVERY FORM) by my parents growing up and 2 sexual assault as an adult and other traumatic events in my life, I deal with Major Depressive Disorder, Social Anxiety, Generalized Anxiety and Complex PTSD due to all that. I also want people to see Underneath and not judge me for mental health issues, that I did not choose. Sorry to babble, but I'm having a rough time right now. I'm just saying that the song can mean many things to different people and that's the power of songs like this. I've loved Adam from the beginning and I don't hide that I'm a fan. ❤️ Please take care.

Спасибо за реакцию!!!🙏🌹♥️✌️🇹🇩

[@jillmilnes7613]

You'll love Lucy ft Brian May it's incredible. You can totally tell the solo is the guitar god himself. Then there's his George Michael covers. Never Close Our Eyes and Better Than I Know Myself are also amazing Adam tracks.

[@lindamarker-qv9cv]

I was also at this very concert in Vegas. Adam was absolutely amazing!

[@Cazsuane]

Man, I saw Sandman live! So cool to see someone react to this memory!

[@betmo]

not 100% sure if adam wrote the lyrics but he's credited as co writing underneath

[@veneziastar]

I had to do some research on this one, but before American Idol, Adam Lambert was the frontman for an underground rock band called Citizen Vein, which wrote and performed, "Crawl Throught Fire", "Pop Goes the Camera" and "Kiss and Tell", the members of the band were Monte Pittman, Tommy Victor and Steve Sidelynk, they only lasted a few months. You may have noticed Adam flinched when that "dog" was thrown on stage. Whe he was on the American Idol tour, some lady in the audience threw a 12" dildo at him, he was was lucky that it only hit him the chest, he said he was horrified and also found it incredibly funny, as it landed at his feet like a dead salmon, he didn't stop singing and kicked it off the stage and he said he thought it hit the lady that threw it. I was thinking roses would have been a better option. He is openly and proudly gay and has been the leader of more gay parades than I can count & in more countries than I can remember. Everyone on American Idol knew he was gay, he just didn't realize he needed to announce it to the world, he said he didn't have a boyfriend at that time so he couldn't say hi to him the audience he'd been out since he was 18 and he was 27 when he appeared on Idol, which was the last year he could be on it and he wouldn have aged out of the competition.

[@kelliekeefer2558]

I love Underneath, it is so emotional. Check out his live version of this in Cape Town 2012, I think there's even more emotion there. Also suggest On the Moon from late late show with James corden and The Original High Demo love version from Jan 2021. Keep them coming, love your reactions. ☺

I’ve seen Adam live with Queen and it was AMAZING. He’s not Freddie of course, but it was SO good! He can sing anything I swear. 💜

Thank you so much for a DOUBLE Adam!!!! I LOVE your unedited, more unedited please!!! Who needs edits when you’re this good???! I loved watching your reaction to Adam kissing Tommy!! 😂🤣❤️❤️❤️❤️. Adam is obviously queer but Tommy, not so much. If this surprised you, your jaw might drop when you see what’s coming down the pike with Adam. He is a chameleon with something for everybody. He has some fire teasers on his instagram right now promoting his album coming in July - is about to drop the first two songs tomorrow is performing them at West Hollywood Pride. His next album looks to be club genre. Can’t wait to see what’s up his sleeve. Thanks again John. You are an awesome human

Adam kissed Tommy on his first performance after leaving American Idol at the AMA’s live, and it was like 10:45 pm. He got so much shit for it and got kicked off a couple of morning shows the next day. He really couldn’t understand cause everyone was fine with Britney and Madonna kissing. Tommy is straight but he was cool with it.

i'm on board with no editing ;)

[@cunningdeb3129]

The Enter Sandman performance was during his Glamnation Tour that supported his first CD, about a year off Idol. He was the first contestant to headline his own tour right out of the gate and it was international. He was unbridled back then during his live concerts. My ultimate favourite performance of that era was his performances of Purple Haze & Whole Lotta Love from Amsterdam where weed was legal at the time and was enjoyed on stage. I've been weary about suggesting this one because he is so free in his presentation that I fear it could be too much for some. After seeing your reaction to Enter Sandman I think you might appreciate it. Here's the link - kzbin.info/www/bejne/mKbahmmhbLeDaMU BTW at every show during that tour he kissed Tommy during "Fever". I think it was a deviant reaction to him getting in trouble kissing Tommy live on the American Music Awards and almost derailing his career before it started

He recorded “underneath”early in his career but it took years before he could actually perform it live and that 1st performance was clearly difficult for him to get through.
