another great talent Adam has is the ability to sing any genre,,so he can reinvent himself whenever he wants.. right now its the glamrock thing.. i cant wait to see the many sides of Adam.. it has only just begun, we as adoring fans, aint seen nothing yet!!!!!!
one thing that Kara did say in an interview on the bonnie hunt show was that "the medium of an album is not big enough for Adams talent" that is so true.. his talent of an amazing singing voice is amplified through seeing him perform the song. In all the blogs and twitter, one common theme people say,is that Adam's voice is much better live. I sure hope to witness that one day.
@johnphoenix17: I'm totally agree with you. I mean, I am a huge fan of Adam but to be honest, I think he sang much better here in Season 8 than in his 1st album. I keep watching again n again all his performances in AI8. What a sweet voice with brilliant songs choices. I love his music and his personality. Love you, Adam.
to be honest i feel adam didn't learn that from Kara XD i mean he does musical theatre, his performances in the ten commandments certainly weren't just purely vocal play. i feel adam was just showing he could sing in the beginning of idol and was trying to see what worked on idol and what not. his ability to show emotion through song, definitely didn't start with idol. he did emotion with plenty of songs pre-idol, like i just love you, dust in the wind
but kara was right .. i watched "change is gonna come" the zodiac version and idol version u can see what she was talkin about .. he was INCREDIBLE vocally in both no argument there .. but the zodiac was very theatrical playin apart .. the idol performance was more adam singing .. i love both versions
Adam is very talented but for some reason he doesn't sound the same like in his album and when he sings live now, i mean i know is only one year of difference lol but i don't know, here he sounds better, like a rock voice and now is more soft but maybe is just me and i hope he focus more on rock, this guy has a good voice with a big range and he shouldn't be wasting it in pop, he should do rock in my opinion.
@johnphoenix17 Totally agree with you but the big bucks earners are not in rock but in Pop-dance-electro... See Lady Gaga etc. Adam can sing Rock after he bought himself the house of his dreams... naah kidding. hope he wont wait that long and bring Rock back into the world of the big bucks.
who the hell is she?! based on that short clip it would appear that WHOEVER she is she got to WHERE she is NOT by knowing whats she is talking about thats for sure. 'music theater' LOL!!!
in another clip of Adam, where he was first auditioning for Americon Idol, Simon Cowell mentions that he was 'too theatrical'.... hmmm... worked for Lady Gaga though didnt it (DIAMOND selling artist?? you know the one??!!!) WHO'S LAUGHING NOW EH?! ADAM LAMBERT IS VERSATILE & FULL OF ENERGY. Awesome performer!
Kara should seriously shut the fuck up, Adam are you seriously listening to her YOU ARE A 202930982309289438 TIMES BETTER SINGER THAN HER AND YOU'LL BE LEGEND !
0.04 It always amazes me how Adam can make his voice go raspy. First singer to ever give me goosebumps! Love it when he screams. Makes me so excited n gives me such a rush!
@TokioxHotelxGirl11 same, im watching it this year and thinking, damn none of these people can match adam last year. He really was a performer everyone looked forward to every week
now that i'm looking at hollywood week, i'm realizing adam with no make up on. wow, this must be a new one for me, cuz adam's all with make up, now. wow.
cant wait to watch the auditions to see Simon tear the contestants down for one last time. SIGH. im gonna miss Simon. and besides, no season will ever surpass Adam's season.
All I know is if I'd been in that theater and I heard ADAM sing just that ONE line, I would have packed up my shit and caught the next flight home. Why bother? When you're standing in the presence of perfection, bow out gracefully. That's my philosophy anyway. lol ;-)
@staciegirlie, I know. I know my heart and pride couldn't take the humiliation. lol I would have up my trash and RAN from the room. lol :-) I sure as hell wish Kris had done that. lol
LOL. I'm still debating on whether I'm watching or not. Maybe just the auditions so I can ROFLMAO at people who swear up and down they can sing but sound like William Hung.
@staciegirlie, yeah, I dont think my heart can take it. I'm afraid I'll burst into tears if anything reminds me of ADAM and how he got screwed. Even seeing Kris's photo on the wall behind the people auditioning will probably make me cry. I'd better not. I'm liable to take it out on my poor innocent TV. lol Yeah, I'm still bitter. :-(
It bothers me too. It bothers me because it was so unfair. I would still like to see Adam, Kris, and Allison tour together though ,because I don't want to see Adam as an 'opening act'. They will reach a larger audience if they tour together right now.
@wickedglitter1, that's probably true. However, I dont think I could stand to see Kris on stage. It hurt my heart to see him as the winner on the AI tour. I know it's silly, but it's how I feel.
For all of you people who hate Kara, think, if she wasn't writing music, we wouldn't have a lot of the great music that has been out. A lot of the songs she's co/written, have been number 1. It's not that easy to write fabulous songs, and yet she does. She's worked with almost all of the huge artists.
I just found this! I didn't know he sang this during Hollywood Week, how'd I miss that? thanks for posting this! I was just searching to see if there's an mp3 of his Upright Cabaret "What's Up" because it is freakin' amazing!
lol @ RedAppleSoda - "kradam since the beginning" lmao! LOVE KRADAM!
He performed this at the upright cabaret. I love it, but then again he could sing "Twinkle, twinkle little star" and I'd be in love with that song too.lol.
He seems to put a lot of emotion into his performances now though <3
I've never seen this! Thanks! And I have seen almost every video out there of Adam. Anyway, I never got the feeling that Adam wasn't really connecting with his songs. I was more moved by his songs than anyone elses. But maybe it's because he did something to change what he was doing before he hit the Idol stage.
I go with what I see and Adam has been nice and professional. I think sometimes ,you have to consider the souce and their motivations. Maybe some of these people gossiping, are pissed that Adam is not giving them what they want. He's not out there giving interviews about his sexuality, which is none of ours business. I haven't seen anything that would stop me from admiring this guy or buying his music. Do these people classify Adam as a Diva, because he knows who he is and what he wants.
Adam lovers: Boycott MSNBC and the Scoop - they're saying nasty things about Adam and spreading false gossip about his being a "diva". Write Courtney at the scoop and tell her what a moron she is. Thnx!
Stupid FOX, it's a shame there isn't atleast a 20 s version.
