  • nothing can beat Sam Cooke

  • What majic this man produces is incredible and yes he should have won - but we are te winners - just listen to his ranges of voice absolutely amazing

    First brokenangel

  • i give up

  • this just reminds me how bad season 9 has been

  • Adam is the greatest singer ever. And he is so damn SEXY.

  • @poitier111 most songs are about interpreting them. its kinda the point.. if there are different interpretations then the song can reach more ppl right?

  • @sweetnutrient A change is gonna come is a classic blues song about a revelutionary time in American Histrory (The Civil Rights Struggle). Now I'm all for artistic expression, but there are some songs that can't be re-interpreted to be about a flashy self-indulgent performance. Adam was just trying to show off his high pitch falsetto. If you think about it, it was kind of disrespectful. Most people who understand this would agree.

  • @poitier111 But it wasn't all about that. If you know Adam, you'll know all the struggles he's been through, not just as an artist. He sings this for a reason. He sings it because he connects to it, and he knows what it's about. Adam's not just trying to show off his voice. He knows what kind of song it is, and he chose it because of all the tough times he's been through. And I'm sure most people too would agree.

  • @poitier111 I can see parts of that; there is a lot of those higher notes in there, even on Adam's standard, and so that is a just point. But he's sung this a number of times: obviously on Idol, but also at the Zodiac show twice. The first was primarily out of frustration, that gays just aren't widely accepted and the latter was because the gay and lesbian community was in it's own civil rights movement. So both of your points have standing.

  • Adam lambert is the best singer since micheal jackson, before MJ past, the should have performed togethere :)

  • @mbsinger111

    You are so right about that! They would have been so great together!

  • @Rianne2115 im surprised they didnt!

  • Theres only one Adam in thw world and he's Perfect... Dont ever change Adam Lambert!! i love his voice and this song. he wins mine and others hearts over and over and over. rated between 1-10 Stars, i give you 10,000,000 STARS!

  • Its about time someone like Adam Lambert comes to the music business and gives us ear candy! this guy has an amazing voice nobody has ever had!! Thank you ADAM!

  • I don't watch American Idol and I didn't know who this guy was until I heard this rendition!!! Wow!!!!  I am floored!!

  • Adam certainly did justice to this song and the late great Sam Cooke.

  • Well, all I can say is that when he sang this live on the show, I thought that it was over and he would be the clear winner. Nobody even close to this performance. It was stunning. That's when I learned that American Idol is not a singing competition, but a popularity contest and once again, I will say it. He has more talent than any past, previous, or current "singer" on American Idol and you won't see another like him in the near or distant future. Adam, you did it right. FIVE STARS EASILY.

  • @98viper

    Couldn't have said it better, Adam is a kind of singer that comes around once in a lifetime, he is going to be iconic.

  • I love Adam!!!!!

  • I love this song so much! Adam is such a good singer and performer and hes just getting better day by day

  • This, I think, was my favorite performance of his. Better than Mad World, Tracks of my Tears, and all those others, because he really connected with this song. He probably knows all too well what it is to be discriminated for something that isn't his or anyone else's fault. This was spectacular. Adam was a superstar from the day he was born and he will keep shinning forever.

  • wow...that's all I can say about him (speechless)

  • oh my goodness, did he cover the Gits? or did The Gits cover someone else and than he covered it too??

  • I love his eyes and i love this voice so much!!I find Adam a little bit sweet....

  • Adam Lambert > Kris Allen.

  • @RiKaZGn Sorry this is Adam. Forget Kris. LOL

  • what ever happend to that criss guy that they said got more votes

  • This song is closest to what I liked about his AI highlights. I prefer the album, but this is a great track all the same.

  • I like his eyes.

  • i like his glambulge

  • I LOVE all of him!!!

  • Mmmmm.. just awsome.... even for the 1000 time...))

  • This gives me chills everytime i hear it... dlkajsdlkajsdlkjaslad SO hot.

  • Ok, I've said this nine billion times, but I guess I've got the say it one more time. If Adam annoys you and you don't like him, THEN DON'T WATCH HIM SING!!! If you don't like him, just ignore 'im and leave your ignorant comments to yourself. Please and thank you.

  • Amen!! =D

  • @PsnowCone790 Ditto!

  • @Ithilfey What I find ignorant is these foreigners calling Americans stupid for not voting him the winner! Yeah. I thought he shoulda won too. But, cmon!

  • I love Adam , and his voice ++.

    He's perfect .

    And I don't care if he is gay , he's still very very HOOOOOOOT *-*

  • Omg his voice is.........ahhhhhh god its amazingggggg! words don't express it.

  • Oh my gosh.I love adam.always have and always will.Love his voice everything.and for those sayin hes gay,so what if he is or isnt.Black white african gay straight IT DOESNT MATTER.look around all that.and grow up.

  • he's hot!!!! and his voice is so powerfuL!!! that's why i Love him... eventhough his a gay!!!! the taLent is important!!!!

    we Love him here in the Philippines!!! i know many other peopLe from different countries Love him!!!!

  • Who cares if hes gay, hes still is very HAWT!!

  • i love adam!

  • i love adam!

  • Adam is simply an AMAZING singer!!!

    He sing incredible live and his studio versions are also great. I think he sing better live and not everybody can do that.

    He is great and i hope he goes far in his music carrer!!!!!

  • you know what, this song is so true. a change will come maybe not anytime soon but it will come. Adam i say this is his best absolute best performance he has done. Thanks for the upload russel

  • Ladies and gent I present to you the amazing Lambert ! beautiful voice and a boat load of soul

  • omg hes amazing

    he can sing any song

    he is just awesome!!!!

  • I was never a big fan of this performance but still very good.

  • All I can say is YES, YES, YES!!!

  • what an awesome,talented,and just plain mind blowing performer

  • ^_^ I like that he picked this song. I know this is just my own opinion, but I listened to Sam C. sing it and I loved the message it sent. I think Adam reinforces the message somewhat, and though his vocal range is different from Sam's, it's still a great song that was sung by a lot of great singers, Adam being one of them. ^_^

  • You have got to be kidding me. Racist much? Opinions are appreciated but that was just uncalled for. Perhaps you are just unhappy that you will NEVER be able to sing like he does.

  • lol

  • Nazi much?

  • Excuse me it's "sarcacynicwitticist" check them out they're the only live performances of Adam and now of Kris with mentor and judges

  • I beg to differ akwayswilldatheart !Adam's version of this song is by far the best of all of them if you don't believe me watch his live performance of this song on idol (SARCACYNICLIRICIST) has all of his live version and when he sang this he blew me and everyone in that room away it was fantastic beyond words with all of the feelings behind the words ,check it out thyen comeback and revise your Terence trent bit who by the way was amzing but Adam's still was and is the best

  • Would people stop fuckin sayin shit about adam & kris they are BOTH AMAZING SNGERS you guys are just way to pathetic and are just bitches stop comparing the top 2 shut the fuck uppp & get a life god damn .

  • Worthwhile performance of this very special song. I think my current favorite performer of this is still Terrence Trent Darby- check it out

  • ohmygosh!

    ohmygosh!

    ilove his freaken VOICE!<33

    I just cant believe KRIS ALLEN out-voted him!

    its crazyy!

    He is 10000000000000% more better than Kris!

    I Love Adam<3

    Best performance he did ever!!!

  • I Love Adam OMG!!!!

  • Best. Preformance. On. Idol. EVER. <3

  • Performance* haha

  • anyone know when hes solo album comes out??

  • In the fall.

  • november

  • November...too far away!!!

  • I think he said sometime later this year.

  • Straight male that just turned 44 today and this man can sing as good as anyone I have heard. What amazes me is that he can sing any type of music that is out there. Cant wait for his first CD to hit the shelves

  • THIS IS TALENT!!!! and for all those jerks who thinks he's screaming!! try to do the same thing !! okay?

  • i find it funny that kris won when every week he got negitive comments

  • VOTE FOR ADAM ON TEEN CHOICE AWARDS!

  • listen to his version of no boundaries in studio recordings. it is more cute and great than the live version. my classmates love his version compared o Kris allen but Kris is a great rtist too but Adam already proved that he is much better than Kris. He already proved that.=)) Love you Adam.

  • Kris is much more suited for No Boundaries because it's about being the underdog and never giving up. Adam's never been the underdog, but Kris has been. It really fits him better.

  • but adams been trying to break into this business longer, it kinda fits him too

  • kris was the underdog in the competition, adam's been the underdog his whole life really....

  • listen to his version of no boundaries in studio recordings. it is more cute and great than the live version. my classmates love his version compared o Kris allen but Kris is a great rtist too but Adam already proved that he is much better than Kris. He already proved that.=)) Love you Adam.

  • no one should care if he's gay..he'll always be the best singer, no matter what he desides..he's going to do great things.

  • i dont like kris but im glad he won (WAIT) if adam would have won he would have to sing that horibale no boundreis song (but adam DOES have the best most amazing voice i have ever heard (LOVE HIM) *DONT CARE THAT HE IS GAY HE IS HOT*

  • Dayum. Why did Kris win again?

  • What?

    These are better than the live performances, in my opinion.

  • okay that is a good, no great voice... so he didn't win?

  • ADAMAZING.......!!!!!!!!1

  • i cant stand it when people says he screams.

    its so stupid.

    when does he ever scream?

    just shows that sooooo many people r stupid

  • To tell you the truth, he does scream. I'm just as big of a fan as you are, but he does. And, it sounds amazing though. You should hate it when people say he screeches. That pisses me off so much. It's not a screech. Two completely different things. On American Idol, they even said they were screams. They think he can scream like that because he screamed a lot when he was young.

  • im tired of explaining what a scream is.

    i dont give a fuck anymore.

    but i will tell u that u should look up "how to scream"

    and compare it to adam....

    when u do that, then reply back to me

  • I don't remember them saying it was screaming. Screaming, when used in the context of singing, is never a positive. What Adam does isn't screaming. It's belting at high pitches. It takes tremendous skill to do what he does.

  • Okay, okay, okay, I got you. And, I know it takes tremendous skill, that's why he is Adam freakin' Lambert!

    lmao.

  • I agree with kodalicious. He has referred to them as screams... They're not screeches though; thats vocally incorrect.

  • He "belts" out a song..... it's not called "screaming". If you know anything about singing, when one hits those high notes,... they have to be loud...with power..i.e. "belting".......He has 2.5 octave range..... quite amazing for a male singer. HE SOUNDS WONDERFUL TO ME......

  • i think adam cant sing anything bad xcept i kissed a girl.lol.he is a sexy manbeast & if he kissed a girl i sure as hell hope it would be me!!!!he makes every song he sings sensual & xciting & i dont care who u r but if u dont like adams voice u r a dum***!!!!adam u rock & u r da best!!! keep on rockin!!!!

  • lol he did say in one interview it would really funny if he sang "I Kissed A Girl on Idol" Katy Perry is obviously a huge fan! (Did you see her awesome jacket w/ Adam Lambert stitched on the back? They also thought it was funny he and Kris got to the end w/ basically all the voters being tween girls and Kris is married and Adam is gay! lol But he's too hot to be straight ;)

  • Holy cow. Adam is amazing.

  • good job adam

  • Yeah! 'Chris' is way better. One question, who's 'Chris'? Last time I heard it was Kris. And if were talking about KRIS Allen, Adam is WAAAAAAAY better. Honey, get your ears checked, then come reply to me.

  • Hahaha.

    all i have to say is CALM DOWN.

    i dont care what you say.

    last time i cheacked,

    Adam didnt win (: .

  • Did I say he did?? Noooooooope. You epic fail. Sorry, you looooseeeee! Againnnn! 'Chris' is a good singer. But Adam is better. Oh and Kris is good too. Seriously learn their names before you play faves, kay? Now don't reply unless you won't epic fail anymore, its getting boring. Nextttt! You are now boringggg.

  • Hahaha im the epic fail ?

    Your the one spazzing out over A YOUTUBE VIDEO.

    calm downn (:

  • mkay

    BOTH of you be quiet your both intended to your own opinions no one can change YOUR opinion BUT.

    ARGUING OVER YOUTBE PEOPLE?

    really ?=/

    Yes its Kris Allen but hey you dont see that name spelt that way often its a simple mistake. myself i love both.

    But anyways

    stop that arguing

    or you both epic fail ^_^

    lawl i love the word fail btw i dont meean it anyways.

  • who the hell is chris allen? the winner of american idol was kris allen...

  • aww!! i &hearts; Adam!! he is so talented! its lyk he was made for performing!!! Adam<33

  • HE is SOOOO AWESOME!!!!!!!

  • the more i listen to adam, the more i realize how talented he is. never mind the whole sexuality issue, it doesn't matter.

  • Adam is a refreshing unique artist. Nowadays....we don't have that very much...every band or singers sounds the same to me...but Adam is so distinguishable

  • Adam Is so hot I love him so much. Good jod adam

  • Get over it, hes gay.

  • I love this song, he sings amazing and this song has a really powerful message.

  • if your gonna make stupid comments why wacth the video he can sing so shut up and if you don't know how to sing you can't say s*** either so SHUT UP if you can't dp somthing don't judge other people

  • I love him, I love him, I love him!!!

  • A Change is Gonna Come when people comment on the videos they are viewing here instead of launching into laughable, unrelated tirades. Adam Lambert is an astonishing artist who is bringing about change. Whether or not he wants to be an agent of change, poor guy, he obviously is. Every jaw-dropping vocal he records drowns out the haters, and brings us one step closer to enlightenment. If I could, I'd put him in a box and carry him close to my heart. But I guess I'll have to make do with my IPod.

  • yes!!!!!! thank you! i wish i could put adam in a box :(

  • Please just consider that I am willing to discuss this in a civil manner if you can please stop making such vain and blindly stated threats and comments.

    With All Due Respect,

    -me

  • Hi everyone. Haven't been on in a while. Like AnzKillaBoy I am 17 but I believe in keeping views in moderation. Look Anz, I konw being 17 is confusing but don't let anger take over. I'm not sure anyone has tried but I think you can learn some tact. I don't want you to be opposed by everyone, i think everyone here just wants less hate. It's fine if you don't agree with gay people but the fact that their neurological chemical composition predisposes them to sexuality.

  • wow you sound really mature for a 17 yr old. thank you though! :D

  • i love adam!

    he's gorgeous

    his bf is cayoot too. : )

  • i love adam lambert, and stop with these stupid adam comments, adam is amazing, so shut up everyone!

  • i love his hair style if u do to give this a comment a thumb up!

  • i love his hair style

  • So soulful, I love this. Adam you rock. Its about time we have a true heartfelt REAL person in this generation of music. Can't wait for the first cd to come out.

    From all your fans we love you.....

  • I'm straight and big fan of Adam Lambert ! I don't care about his sexuality ! It's the total contrary ! I think it's a great thing to have a gay american idol ! I don't understand why are you judging him ! It's his life, his choice, his sexuality ! It's not your buisness !

    Plus, he's a singer, not a gay porn star !

    Adam Lambert should have won ! He's the American Idol !

  • wow, he is the real G! real gangster!!

  • I love his voice...he is an amazing man.

  • Look, everyone, it would suffice to say he is an unbelievable jackass and knows it. he says these things to get people pissed so just show him how mature we are and how the only other friend than his hand are his farm animals who ask "you in yet?" more frequently than they shit. Fuck you anzkilladouche

  • fuck u Listenthistime4673! n go kill urself!

  • Comment removed

  • im not watchin him, i just got really bored and just feel like typin some rude comment!!

    why did u remove ur comment? cause u feel really stupid for sayin what u have say, right?

  • If you are not watching him , why the hell are you on here? Jealous ? Get off here and go beat your meat like it owes you money. I have a feeling your hand is the only friend you have.

  • u r an idiot, do i have to tell u why am i here? i just got really bored and just feel like typin some rude comment! dumb ass!

  • ...Are you serious?

    And just when I think I have heard every completely ignorant comment known to man...

    I realize that someone allowed you the opportunity to type on a keyboard.

    The fact that you have any connection whatsoever to a social environment is a sin, in and of itself.

  • thats the most disgusting comment i have read on here how dare you talk like that your a disgrace to human kind Adam is 1 million times the person you will ever be go and dig a hole and bury yourself in it you sick bastard

  • I wish you'd just blow your fucking brains out because obviously there isn't much in there to be useful to our society.

  • Blisslyke,  why would i wanna blow my fuckin brain out, i love myself!!

    u should blow ur fuckin brain out for likin gay ppls!

  • By the way Blisslyke is my sister and trust me , she will clean out on your ass. She has no reason to kill herself, unlike she has a life. Works, in collage, runs a gj biz. Oh wait let me back up and explain collage to you. It is a higher standard of learning after highschool. I am pretty certain you will not make it into just trying to give you some idea. I bet you are a nazi. You hate black people too? Bet your ass was PISSED when this country voted in a black president., You are a dick

  • she need to kill herself n so r u!! im still in high school, i will not go to collage when i get out of high school, i will go to the marine corps. im not a nazi, u dumbass, i dont hate black ppls, u do!! i a little bit piss cause i support John McCain!  n u r a racist!

  • AnzKillaBoy

    If you love violence so much , please put a gun to your head and blow your brains out, it may takes several shots as it appears you don't have much of one. You a twisted little piece of shit, douchebag ! You posted a serious threat to other people's lives on the internet for people to read. I hope the cops enjoy your comments as much as I have . And I know you won't blow your brains out because you are a PUSSY!!!!!!!!

  • spankmefreddie, i love violence but i dont wanna to use it on myself but on other ppls. i will not blow my fuckin brains out because i love myself, why would i wanna to do that. im not crazy like u. u callin me a pussy, would u do that to urself, i think u would, because u hate ur life. i love my life, but i just hate gay ppls!

    and u should go kill urself for likin gay ppls!

  • Actually Assmunch,

    When the right people get a hold of these comments, they will offically declare you crazy.I am sorry you are angry because adam wouldn't let you lick the bottom of his shoe. You jealous because he is handsome, talented, creative. So just keep slopping the pigs at work and maybe they will promote you to shoveling cow shit. You have a bright future ahead. your dumbass probaly can't even shoot a bb gun , but you love violence bitch please.

  • i just hate gay ppls! im not jealous, why would i be jealous of that faggot? by the way, i vote for Kris Allen, he is better and he won!! im just 17, so i will learn how to use a gun. i will go to the marine corps, when i turn 20. dont talk like ur dumbass know how to use a gun.

  • Ok

    If you are 17 and in high school, and planning on going to the Marines, I would think you were in ROTC. The only gun you are going to see is the one the guards wear when you are behind prison bars. Which gun would you like me to describe in detail about knowing how to shoot? A glock, 12 gauge shot gun or there is the muzzle loader. I am a grown adult . A woman , you hate us to?

  • If the FBI are lucky enough to find your punk ass, I hope they throw you in worst prison population in our country, and you receieve a BIG prison welcome. You won't threaten people again narrow minded sperm burping bag of piss

  • spankmefreddie, r u really that stupid, do u think i could really do that. what i say, it just show u that how much i hate gay ppls. i dont really want to kill them, i just want them to kill themself!

  • Dickweed

    Was that a relative of yours that entered the holucaust muesum? See, you are a really sick little bastard. I am sure you love yourself, your hand mainly. I think the truth is you are in love with Adam. Why else would you be on here ? He might be gay but I am certain he could kick your punk ass. Actually, I think I could kick your ass. Why don't you stay off here and get back to your hooked on phonics. I mean do you really want to repeat 5th grade again for a 4th time?

  • spankmefreddie, dumbass, i was useing that as an example, it just show u that how much i hate gay ppls, i dont wanna to kill them, i just want them to kill themsefl!! im only 17, but im so big, 6 foot tall, i can kick his ass so easy!! if he kick my ass, he will go to jail for hittin a child!! u cant kick my ass, the only thing u can do is give me a blow job!!

    u tell me to repeat 5th grade again for the 4th time when u cant spell holocaust museum, what a dumbass!!

  • Dude

    Seriously, let's get real. First of all, you are 17? And you expect me to believe you are 6 foot tall? You state you are a child? That is the one thing I believe , according to your behavior. Now I am saying this on a serious note. You will never enter the Marine corps. You are too unstable, they give psych exams. They will find you are a loose cannon. Plus there is that IQ exam too.Face it, you don't deserve to serve our Country.

  • u r an idiot! im 17 and im 6 foot tall and i mean im a minor. have u see tall ppls? there r alot of teens that r taller than me, 6foot tall is not that tall, in my high school, there r a lot of students that is taller than me, they all play basketball n so am i. by the time i turn 25, i will be 6 foot 5 inch tall. yeah right, u dont know me. after high school, i will go to the marine corps and try my best. u r an idiot, if u think what i have said r serious, seriously im not!

  • You are a minor that has no respect for anyone. I am an adult and trust me you will not make it in the Marines with a big bad ass attitude. You will not pass the psych test. No , my sister and I don't want to have a threesome with you , just Adam. Cause he could handle it. If these remarks are not idle threats to the lives of gay people , perhaps you need to stop posting them. Concentration camps are a taboo subject for a lot of people, you need to stop it .This isn't a gay hater forum.

  • have you ever maet a gay person. I have a lot of gay friends and believe me, they are not weak by any means, they will really teach your little nerdy ass a lesson. and an embarassment, what the fuck do you call yourself? you're a freak, a disgusting shameful freak, you geeky little kid. somewhere down the line you will be killed in a terrible, terrible way for your ugliness.

  • bendinggreenvans, i have meet gay ppls n they just make me sick. when i say weak, im talkin about the opening gay ppls. how can i be a nerd if i say i love violence and i love to fight, i will go to the war and fight, i not scare to die! u dumb ass!!

    n u should go kill urself for likin gay ppls!
