Adam Lambert The Tracks of My Tears Performance HQ

[Szandra1512]

THUMBS UP!!♥

[FinnAlive]

Absolutely wonderful.

[matistry]

This is one of the greatest performances in American Idol history. Hands down. Thumbs up.

[TheSolaris810]

Thumbs up. Brave feller to follow Smokey, and he pulled it off big time.

[skuxing4sure]

gay much ???

[KoalaBear1105]

Whenever I hear this song, I automatically imagine it's Adam singing it..<3

[Glambert90]

This Song and Adam's voice =♥♥♥♥♥♥♥

[MissEmaMartin]

My teacher showed us this in PSR, so inspiring. I've never been a real big Adam Lambert fan, but you gotta love this<3

[Tammytaa11]

great great great my 2nd fav idol performance. I just wish that the real singing talent would win he should have one that season. Scotty should not have one last season

[02sammendez]

I JUST LOVE THIS SONG OF YOURS ADAM! its so CLASSIC YET SO FUN AND RELAXING TO HEAR :D

[oraymw]

Probably the best performance I ever saw on the show.

[yeahtoast2011]

@oraymw I was just going to say the same thing. This one is my favorite (well next to Annie Lennox).

[JasonlVlraz]

This is so beautiful. He put so much emotion into it. I'm glad we got to heat him sing something like this. I love him so much!

[brrombroom]

class.........love it!

[Change2be1]

Smokey would be proud.

[orangehot88]

@Change2be1 Smokey is proud. :)

[AmberLoveification]

Ron Paul 2012!

[00gjsmith]

This is why I do not watch American Idol anymore because the true winners do not win. Adam should have never lost to Kris who can not sing at all. In my book Adam Lambert was the winner.

[Change2be1]

@00gjsmith How many songs have you heard form Kris or really I haven't seen him, but you know Simon wasn't going to sign a gay person, not right but that is Simon. He can't even keep a woman so what up with you Simon.

[Velma20]

i don't know about that when they crowned Kris as the winner Simon looked pissed.

[tracy719]

his voice is amazing and he is very charismatic. and he's gay, woo!

[Rebecca110999]

Favorite performance by him, and on the American Idol stage

[aprilynn1100]

@Rebecca110999 I THINK SMOKIE IS PROUD!!!!!

[Glam1877]

:( ♥ amazing

[bellamarie2238]

He should have won, but America is Homophobic what a shame!

[IDRAG4MJ]

not that good

[3ku1]

@IDRAG4MJ Smokey Robinson gave him a standing ovation, I think he knows more then ignorance

[IDRAG4MJ]

@3ku1 he has had way better performances..this didnt move me,,,the notes were all over the place..and he was off tune and off key in many parts..this is not coming from a hater i love adam

[aprilynn1100]

@IDRAG4MJ  yea some PROS have oppinions dont they???

[lilkris186]

Hands down, THE best AI contestant EVER. 

[lilkris186]

Love <3 Love <3 Love <3 Adam Lambert!!!

[TheSUMOwestler]

i love adam lambert. he is a sexy beast <33333

[TheMauriciorony]

MARVELOUS VOICE ..everybody can see the tracks of my tears when i see this performance

[joeyleo2wenty8ight]

yeah crying shame he didnt win. in the pacific islands they were handing out free phones at gatherings to vote for Kris, in an attempt to vote against Adam. it was a fix!

[3ku1]

@kevcase true, but simon gave a standing o and commented about vocal masterclass adam too. And simon said that before adam came along, adam sang more diversly then elliot, was more consistent, could sing any genre. Adam changed idol in terms of performance styles, adam is the best vocalist ai ever had, hes arguably imo the best singer in the world right now. And besides I havent heard from elliot, adam, kelly, daughtry are prob the most succesfull

[jejessicacaa]

too bad the studio version isn't as good as this :<

[AdAmLaMBerTLoVR13]

would you happen to have the MP3 downloads for his other American Idol performances??? you would be the best person everrr<3

[Denise201017]

LINDOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO­OOOOOOOOOOO

[dmcabee1109]

Gay or not, Adam is one very sexy man and has an amazing voice! I wish people had cared more about his talent and less about his sexual preference. He should have won

[HotModelChick0405]

BEAUTIFUL. no other word for it.

[6849princess]

HE IS SOOOOO CUTEEE !!!!

[chabeworks]

its amazing people are still responding to his performances--even though he lost---ya know what that shows greatness

[chimichunga1000]

remind me again why he didnt win?

[demonhoopa]

@chimichunga1000 Rednecks in the bible belt?

[SASSYBABY411]

I love Smokey Robinson and know all of his songs... He did Smokey proud with this arrangement I like it better by Adam then I did any other artist that did this song

[ThePati12341]

:)) Love U Adam ..... :DD

[azrael98]

Probably top 3 all time american idol performance, in my opinion, with Clay Aiken's Bridge over Troubled Water and Elliot Yamin's Moody's Mood for Love. Paris Bennett's audition is up there too.

[demonhoopa]

@azrael98 Fantasia twice with "Summertime" and "I Believe" in the finale :)

[Fall4Fashion]

O.o

[adbayangos]

Praise God of His talent!

[SASSYBABY411]

what talent I love smokey but, this song by Adam incredible I love everything Smokey sung how ever Adam blew this one a way. I got to see Smokey in New Mexico out standing your music is like you it never get's old... How ever with that said Adam took this song and blew it out of the park.

[WhootWednesdays]

Oh snap...

[riinleen]

adam lambert definitely deserves to win the contest that time.

[demonhoopa]

@riinleen Yeah I agree America messed the bed with that one. Thought they blew chunks again the following year with Crystal Bowersox. I no longer bother watching the show.

[kpgirl5133]

they only picked Kris because he was already famous and had a Carree i love Adam Lambert but don't hate Kris its not American idol fault he was famous so shut up

[3ku1]

@kpgirl5133 kris was already famous before the show? Really if so why did he auditon for idol? Lambert or Allen were unknowns before idol. that doesent make sense

[SuperFreakshow18]

@kpgirl5133 Kris was famous before Idol and had a career? LOLzzz probably at his church. And career??? OMG I'm dying here of laughter.

[3ku1]

this is the best performance in the history of american idol. It had everything it was original, current, mad vocals, and a elvis stage presense.

[talienasdfly]

@wendy2297 I totally agree with you!

[williamg2552]

Doesn't seem strange to you that many of AMERICAN IDOL'S contestants sing songs recorded by THE MIRACLES...YEAR AFTER YEAR, (Shop Around,Ooo Baby Baby, The Tracks Of My Tears, The Tears Of A Clown, etc) yet , after 25 YEARS, THE ROCK AND ROLL HALL OF FAME REFUSES TO INDUCT THIS LEGENDARY GROUP ?? Think about it.

[briannewyork9876]

@williamg2552 you got that right! they revolutionized their trade...at least the apollo and soul inducted them at least

[Cornporn69]

@williamg2552 not strange at all, the miracles were the shit

[wendy2297]

This is when I fell in love with Adam. Put a fork in me, I'm done.

[rhavok7]

Imposible que el exista. La voz, su presentación, todo tan consistente y con tanto sentimiento. Grande Mr lambert, quiero más interpretaciones como estás.

[lizaglify]

Wonderful song and performance!

[BoGuSknowsBeSt]

This is a great song

[ebofuria]

at 1:19 PUSSIES GOT WET!!! (simultaneously)

[HeartOfTheMusic2212]

HOW COULD ANYONE DISLIKE THIS, I MEAN I KNOW THERE ARE PEOPLE WHO ARE EITHER PITCHY, OR DONT SOUND GOOD, BUT THIS WAS TRULY AMAZING:) HIS TONE AND PITCH AND EVERYTHING WAS ON POINT AND SOO GOOD! THOSE PEOPLE MUST BE STUPID OR DONT LIKE IT BC HE'S GAY, BC HIS VOICE WAS AMAZING:)

[RepharaseJC]

I think that everybody knows that Adam Lambert won this competition by far. Because Kris Allen was more popular then Adam Lambert, at the end of the day it's a popularity contest if you liked the most then you win. It's not even based on their performances or who is a stronger singer. Adam Lambert is THE MAN and should've won right here !

[3ku1]

@RepharaseJC I wouldent say kris was more popular, I would say he was more mainstream and current at that point. It had nothing to do with adam being gay and it had everything to do one one the judges, the way they forced adam down peoples throats, I mean Adam was the man the veiwers knew that they diddnt need simon standing up, oh now that simons stood up Adam can sing now, paula being drunk the whole season haha. I understand, but their are reasons why kris wan and adam did not.

[RepharaseJC]

@3ku1 Fact of the matter is Kris did not deserve it and Adam Lambert did, I don't give a damn what you say because I aint basing it on the gayness or current bullcrap . At the end of the day it's a popularity contest not a fair contest about who is the better singer . You have your opinion and I have mine .

[3ku1]

@RepharaseJC Yes I completely agree Adam should of wan he was the standout every night, but he diddnt but he is more succesfull then kris at this point of time.

[RepharaseJC]

@3ku1 Adam Lambert is more talented than him anyhow .

[3ku1]

@RepharaseJC Well yes obviousley, but kris has done pretty well one if his singles went platnum, he has written songs for other artists. Obviousley not to the level of Adams career, but Kris is Adams freind, so we shouldent hate kris cos he stole adams crown. Dont know if you noticed but Adams doing pretty well being a megastar and all haha.

[RepharaseJC]

@3ku1 Agreed but like it's just my fanness I think it's called aye . I mean I don't hate gay people but it aint my thing , whatever makes you happy I will not hate . But like yeah Adam Lambert ripped it without winning the american idol is songs are like in the club all the time in my country .

[hardbodykarate]

Adam Got robbed!

[RepharaseJC]

@hardbodykarate You are so right, but in my own belief I believe that Adam Lambert is too good for this Idol shit. He won but they felt sorry for that other guy giving him it. And also Adam Lambert is much more successful anyways much more than whatever his dumb name is.

[kinzaash]

He had the best male voice EVER!

[beibei38]

Adammm ..ohhh he was the best of the best.!

I cried with this song..

Unique voice, so hansome sooo everything..

I'm a big big fan of Adam forever and ever..!!Adammm !!!

[beibei38]

Adammm ..ohhh he was the best of the best.!

I'm a big big fan of Adam forever and ever..!!

[jemmajemma]

Missed out the standing ovation from smokey :( epic.

[shortyencinitas]

adam lambert did a great job i rember watching this on tv

[BlackQueenInYou]

tender and true. love it.

[fave1219]

Adam is so handsome. If only he could maintain this kind of image... That would be awesome!!!!

[harmony391]

Yah!!! who's kris allen?

[HeartOfTheMusic2212]

45 people are either dub, deaf, or have a problem with him being gay.. sad world when they cant recognize good music.

[jstar3293]

@HeartOfTheMusic2212 yeah id say im kind of anti gay but then again im not radical... its their choice and if they want that then okay... and yeah this guy can sing, gay or not

[annpiech]

I can remember that this performance really did it for me...I was hooked from then on. Now I'm one of the biggest fans of Adam!!

[katblomquistmusic]

i've watched this about 1,000 times in the past couple of years...and i've "liked" it every time...do those count? even if it doesn't...i'll still click "like" every time. my fave Adam performance...along with "change is gonna come"...both equally PERFECT! :)

[melissasue28]

flawless!

[Jeni080]

Eargasm!  total eargasm!

[xlolita87x]

His voice in this song reminds me of Darren Hayes (Savage Garden).

I ♥ it

[7777ece]

adam is a fucking sexy guy with a fucking sexy voice 

[SIaer]

There should be a repeat button cause this never gets old.

[Anthortiz]

43 made a mistake trying to click the like button

[MsSwwood]

I hate to sound like an owl, but who? who? who? cannot love this vocal? Close your eyes and float along. Then replay it and watch that beautiful man sing out his heart! <3

[cameronward2121]

Paul McDonald. End of Discussion.

[Faithcole98]

@cameronward2121 i couldn't agree with you more !!!!!

[Cr4zyS1ng1ngFr0g]

@cameronward2121 No. Adam Lambert.

[runawaysu]

No one will ever capture my ears, eyes and heart like Adam Lambert!!! He owns them all now!!

[xxkluddxx]

43 people are mentally sick

[bellatheafrohobo]

43 People Missed The Like Button..

[ShadowSoldior]

See, now this is real talent, being able to sing as well as CD quality when performing LIVE. Take note, bitch-ass pop-singers.

[ShadowSoldior]

I want the guys hair.

[Bnsmith93]

Sup Adam Lambert/P!nk Fans, I made my own version of Whataya Want From Me(Originally Written by P!Nk thats why I put Fellow P!Nk fans too) And I was hoping that chyall could check it out and the awesome picture at the end and lemme know what you think of my version. Did I do it Justice. (Its a pop alternative version). Thanks everyone!

[briggitbro]

Damn it! Why do you have to be gay :(

[ladyvulcan100]

adams voice is sooo the best thathappend to this UNIVERSE!!!!

[ThebeautifulPeople2b]

his voice is seriouly one of the best things that happend to this universe. bless his soul <3

[tiff90ful]

hotty 

[kiccaa92]

Che brividi!!!Stupendo!

[mpcam09]

the one singular most beautiful man i've seen on this earth!!!

[BrahmaBull96]

I loved Adam throughout that whole season, but this performance, as well as Mad World, really blew me away. Dude has a lot of talent and is a huge reason why season 8 was the best season.

[mikesbabe1986]

@BrahmaBull96 he should have won!!!!!!! 

[cindelius]

I really wish he'd do a studio recording like this (the actual studio recording was too similar to the original) ... stripped down instrumentals, vulnerable voice.  This sounds so amazing, I just want more.

[BluOctober99]

I really really really don't like Lambert but I did like this performance... only this one...

[Darkangelrock92]

Here he reminds me of Elvis Presley!

[FMHammyJ]

Finally, an Adam Lambert cover that didnt make me wince.....he made the song his own, without the usual hystrionics.....the guy can sing, obviously, but he doesnt always have to perform vocal acrobatics every time he does a cover....sometimes less is more, Mr. Lambert, and you just proved it with this rendition....... it was achingly beautiful.....

[PeaceJUICE22]

This is why Adam Lambert is amazing. Regardless of what anyone has to say about him, he has proven that he can sing any genre, hit any note, express himself in each, and whether you like him or not he is a master... just wish he wrote more of his own music and did less poppy stuff cuz that would be a fricken amazing album!! :)

[MrDelvis86]

WHATS THERE TO SAY HES DAMN GOOD!!

[aquiarus13]

omg this performance made him so sexy to me..... this is one of the best idol performances ever.... i jus keep watchin it

[PeaceJUICE22]

@aquiarus13 I completely get what you mean and I think the same thing :)

[NewYorkerForGood]

Anyone else wish the studio version of this sounded more emotional like this performance instead of so upbeat? I just love this version.

[tkeung32]

totally agreed with "BEST IDOL PERFORMANCES" EVER

[pinkrain91]

One of the BEST IDOL PERFORMANCES on the show EVER! ADAM LAMBERT...you are awesome!!!!!! LOVE LOVE LOVE !!!!!

[PyroRocker442]

Wow, the emotion at 1:58. No version of this song does the lyrics justice or delivers the message as much as this version of Adam Lambert's.

[toranyah]

The best performance on this show.

[serpente300]

inspired. unforgettable. he is awesome on live performances. no one is better than Adam Lambert on idols.

[yeahtoast22]

Not really a fan, but this is brilliant. BRILLIANT I SAID!

[neydogg]

One of the best songs of all time. I like the original but this is a great version

[jongeorge83]

this guy sings alot better than me

[umzgirl]

James from big time rush sang this <3 Love you James Maslow xx

[vyxtouch]

32 people couldn't aim their mouse (Don't worry motherfuckers, we forgive you)

[breannalee23]

My second favorite performance from American Idol. Tied with Lee Dewyze singing Halleluja

[tammaradiana]

i love it!!!! AHHH

[lulumariemissypu]

How such a sweet angelic voice could come out of that hunky masculine man is beyond me-btw this is what I do on AI nights, watch Adam old performances. Imo, he shut it down, no more idol for me, baby.

[hendrixgreengilmour]

This is phenomenal.

[jaylorpotter]

amazing.

[rolande1990]

if his real songs were like this. he'd be a lot better to me.

[may3000JENNY]

Dam

[maxtexture]

Brilliant!

[jbrumundsmith]

Competition should have ended the second he finished this song. Best performance on Idol ever.

[kevcas73]

@jbrumundsmith easy tiger......Elliott has got 3 performances that are just as good if not much better........

[jbrumundsmith]

@kevcas73 Your post would have a little bit of weight if you mentioned which performances you thought were better.

[kevcas73]

@jbrumundsmith semi-final week 1--Stevie Wonder's "if you really love me" Simon's comment was Elliott is potentially the best male vocalist AI has EVER had.........semi-final week 2---Donny Hathaway's "moody's mood for love" Randy gives a standing ovation.....and lastly and probably the strongest case is "A song for you" in the finals........Simon called it superb and in parts a vocal master class.........

[1juliaphelps]

Adam u really need to make a cd of all the American Idols songs that you sang and performed. I know they would sell out fast because you are that talented and have such a beautiful voice that touches those within their heart....

[jackie4leafclover5]

wow he did well with this song! this girl sang it at my talent show and she did well too BUT NOT THIS WELL! <3 Lambert

[MsSmartypants11]

how could he not win??? i lost my faith in idol since that!!

[MsSmartypants11]

how could he not win???

[87sambo87]

Im into Raw Hip-Hop and occasional RnB, and even i have to say this is amazing. The vocal control in unbelievable.

[xmusicagainx]

Wow he sounds so gorgeous, and he's so expressive it's heartwrenching. A+

[metrobeat]

falseto :))))))))))))))))))))))

[chris618007]

He looks like Elvis

[chase390442]

paul's version this season was much more entertaining. Adam may have a better voice, but its not as fun to listen to

[Fall4Fashion]

@chase390442 well if this was a fun competition maybe u would be right but this is a singing competition!

@chase390442 Adam was the best thing that happened to American Idol, he is the best singer and entertainment in this show. You can not compare Adam with Paul, because Adam is superlative pe
