  • He was going to sing this song instead of "Trouble" but a producer talked him out of it.

  • Oh Alex, I'd let you love me. LOL. <3

  • HE'S SO GOOD

    I hope his album really takes off,

    I still can't believe he went home.

  • No, he's not homeless. He's been living with friends while working on his album. His tweets were misunderstood and blown out of proportion by the media.

  • Believe it or not the guy is homeless now!

  • He is one talented kid!

  • Marry me, Alex, we can have babies with mullets!

  • He was on If I Can Dream and fall for my friend Veronica Ballestrini. You should check her music outttt she is realllly awesomeeee.

  • A totally unique voice. Love it.

  • Can I marry him?

  • Yeah, I totally agree, i loooooove him!

  • super unique voice! awesome artist, someone needs to sign this guy and promote him!

  • Anyone else hear that pitch correction?

  • is he related to Adam Lambert

  • he was awesome but he was always nervous i think that's y he got eliminated he wouldn't open up.. but he is a great singer and has such a unique voice!i hope we hear from him soon :)

  • Amazing! Love this kids voice!

  • This guy was so much better than Lee Dewyze- that is why the stupid voting system sucks . Good luck, Alex - you've gotta lot of talent ,. Ellen, please sign Alex to your new record label.

  • I love him.

  • I fell in love with his voice!! I would buy his album. He cute too.

  • Yes, Alex might be an unripe banana but his voice is a winner! I am an avid watcher of AI and honestly he is totally unique and GOOD! He deserves a record contract as his sound is totally marketable! His sound is more marketable than Dewyze and I was for Dewyz and Bowersox from the time of the auditions. Maybe Ellen can make the connections to give Alex a break.

  • hes such a cutie!!! omg you will not believe how mad i was when he left!

  • i really like his voice....wish he could have lost the nerves because I think he would have gone a lot further!

  • i love how he bites his bottom lip when he sings.. so sexy but innocent at the same time

  • It should have been Lee and Alex in the Finale!!!

  • i loved him i wish he would have gone further cuz his voice is so fantastic. both his speaking and singing voice r like butter

  • Too bad he left too soon. What was America thinking. Tim Urban, a recall, should not have made it. That guy has no talent and has been called by judges that he sucked. Alex would have been better in the top 10. He does have the best voice in American Idol season 9 (with Joe Munoz a close 2nd).

    Alex will have a 2nd chance in the talent reality show "If I Can Dream" by Simon Fuller that will be shown on Hulu every Monday night.

  • I loveeeeeee him my goodness he's beyond adorable, and his voice is like a dream <3

  • He's soooo adorable. I have no idea how he got knicked off. I was sure he would win.

  • I want this dude to make albums, think he'll do good

  • What a talented idol! Alex did such a great job that I like this version better than the original ; )

  • Alex is smokin' hot. So much more talent than Tim Urban. Too bad he did not last. Let's hope a label picks him up and we see him at some small venues. If DeWyze comes in second, I bet we see Alex on tour with him. Very similar vocal quality between them. Anyone for a Lee DeWyze, Alex Lambert & Blake Lewis three-way?? I'm all in!!

  • why...didnt...you...frickin...­.sing...that...on idol!

  • Hello everyone, if you like to download MP3 version Alex's new song Dream with my eyes open go to Alex Lambert Official Fan Page.

  • All Alex's fan, please, go to American idol webpage and vote for Alex. they are asking which contestant they should bring back.

  • ohh. <33

  • ALEXXXXXXX ilove you so so so much <3 your so amazing, please keep going i love you and your voice so much!

  • very modest. now that's American's Idol

  • Alex, there's a lot of us out here that love your music! Please post when your first album goes on sale!

  • so good...i almost started crying when he was eliminated!

  • @shellers7 I did start crying!! hahahaha i was freakin SAD!!!! lol

  • him and lee should be the top 2

    TOO BAD TIM URBAN got votefortheworst to vote for him

    i hate that site.

  • im tired of everybody complaining!! if yall wanted him to win then yall shoulda voted like i did!....like literaly fifty times for him lol

  • I am still madddd that they got rid of him!!!

  • the dude coulda won it all. i have faith this will be one of the biggest cast off comebacks in the upcoming decade and even last decade. alex!!!!! dawg your fricken sick. whatever you do, im gonna be a fan. USA learn to be open minded, you know as well as so many others that he should still be there. forget american idol!! alex i have faith you'll be a new star

  • I absolutely love his voice and this cover! Ah, Alex's awesome. (:

  • i think Alex should have stay in american idol and Tim urban should leave big time on american idol

  • Awesome performance!!

  • very nice.I liked this kid...lots of potential there, like a John Mayer type different voice that he has.But instead... the voters keep Tim. Go figure. I don't think Alex would have won in the end, but he should have been in the top ten.

  • @skydancer1x yeah i hear a john mayer and like a john mraz lyrics which is pretty damn swell

  • omg...so kute. he "HAD" to audition cuz his mom would take his PHONE away LOL~~ thats so hilarious lol :]

  • Aww, he's funny. I didn't pay much attention to him when he was on the show, but I miss him now ):

  • he's like the only reason i watched this season. he's so amazing. i started bawling when he got kicked off. i was so sad. :/

  • he is such a cute-patootie!!! <3

  • I was sooooooo disapointed Alex left. He was one of the best on there. I hope we hear more from him soon! I LOVE his voice!! He's a cutie too..nice guy, nice personality.

  • Alex was my favorite - sorry the end of watching I dol for me - there's noone else that really grabs my attention

  • Have you signed the Online Petition for so he could be brought up to AI?

    Search for it Alex Lambert petition

  • i Love him!! PEOPLE REALLY NEED TO VOTE NEXT TIME..

  • Seriously, I have never been sooo upset over someone leaving American Idol. Mostly because if one of my favs left later in the show I knew they would probably get a contract. I am scared he wont get one and I really want to hear more from Alex Lambert. The tone of his voice is crazy awesome and so different.

  • @stefer21 I bet he will. and i have a feeling Ellen will work with him on his future as well :)

  • he would sound really good if he sang the man who can't be moved. thats a really good song for his voice.

  • Voting him off was such a waste of talent. I am in my 40's and love this guys sound. Hopefully, he made enough contacts to keep his career going.

  • I've watched american idol for years and I don't even want to watch it anymore because they kicked off alex lambert. i wish they would extend the "save" to him. they are stupid to not take him back, i hope someone scoops him up and he gets famous fast because i know he has a lot of fans. he deserves to be there so much more than a lot of other ppl still on the show. so disapointing... hes super talented. im such a fan. i cant believe they let him go. such a shame...i love this version of mario!

  • I literally cried when he left, i sooooo wish they'd bring him back!! he was amazing, the most unique voice for sure

  • Alex, I hope you are free to sign a record deal SOON ! ! I will buy your music I can't believe that powerful, soulful, bluesy voice comes out of a 19-year old ! ! : ) Hurry please.....

  • @BlueSky285 for the "Who Left Too Soon" poll, Todderick, Lilly, and Lacey are like below 10% but Alex is around 90% :D

  • That's great!! :D

    Go Alex Lambert, GO!!

  • That's great!

    Go Alex Lambert, GO!

  • Go Alex Lambert :D

  • JEEZ! what is with america kicking out the Lamberts!!

  • i want this on itunes!

  • Alex Lambert was discovered by producers of American Idol. They love his unique voice & knew he was an artist since Dallas audition. He never let them down & I believe they want the best for him!

  • America was sooo wrong to send this great talent home...Alex has such a unique voice that we don't hear much of on the radio. He is absolutely amazing!! I hope he makes it BIG time. Unfortunately America votes for the same old boring sound.. GO ALEX!!

  • Hes awesome. ilove him ! iwish he was back on IDOL and ihope he makes it BIG :)

  • judges fault he isn't still on the show. he had the best tone and the never missed a note. big deal he wasn't as charismatic. i bet he does better than anyone still on the show

  • I really like Alex L. I still can't believe he got voted off. And i think he did a good job singing this song.

  • now why didnt he do that on idol!?<3

    i was there at the show when he got eliminted,the saddest thing and so shocking.

  • Omg! He is so cute and such a good singer! There is no way he should've been kicked off this early! I loved seeing him! :(

  • @NJisAsexyASS i knoooww!!! i wanna marry him lol

  • Guys, it's impossible for him to go back on the show. It's official. FOX can't legally do anything about it. Get your head back into reality.

    Lol, I shouldn't talk, I absolutely LOVELOVELOVE Alex Lambert, I can't BELIEVE he was kicked off, I truly believe he might have made the top five at least!

  • go to american idols site and vote for ALEX! 'sound off'

    CHANCE FOR HIM TO RETURN!!! GO VOTE!

  • his voice is so sexy but he's so sweet :) he's too good for idol anyways...he has a bright future ahead of him and i hope he keeps moving forward <3

  • Somebody give this guy a record deal. He's got so much soul! Incredible!! Maybe he will come back in the Americal Idol Wild Card Show?

  • the producers really foiled his chances by telling Alex to sing "trouble" over this song.

  • i can't believe he left :( please someone give him a record!

  • Alex Lambert is amazing, he should not have gone home AT ALL. He's so cute and his voice is so unique and good, I'd so sign a petition to get him to back. He's so much better than most of the guys on the show.

  • ahhh i love alexx!!!! he was one of my favorite, i dont even want to watch idol now that hes gone =( HE was amazingg!!!!

  • @THAT12KID vote for him at the AI website. They put up a Sound Off box and it asks which contestant left to soon.

  • If Alex is back, then maybe that will stir up a little healthy controversy which is exactly what Idol needs to boost their ratings. Imagine how high the ratings would be with Alex back? And besides, every year there is some sort of change in how things are done to shake things up and keep everything interesting, so for this year, why not make that change be ALEX LAMBERT? It's perfect. Fox, do you see how much this would help you? Bring back Alex Lambert, Fox, you know you want to.

  • I know the producers did not force him to sing it, but of course Alex is going to want to take their advice, wouldn't you? If you didn't have any albums or much experience performing songs in front of others. Which, btw, reminds me of another point: Lee Dewayze has an album or two out already--and he looked much more nervous than Alex Lambert ever did! Imagine that! (That is based on WHEN I was still watching the show, before I boycotted it since Alex left)

  • I can't believe that the producers told him to sing the other song (Trouble) over this beautiful version of "Let Me Love You" on Ellen. He was clearly more comfortable with the latter; and so I see that as the producers being responsible in his elimination.

  • Has FOX seen this video? If they haven't then someone needs to show them ASAP. If they have, then why are they ignoring what everyone wants? There's this poll plus the petition with now OVER 18000 signatures...how can they just ignore that?

  • you do realize that that petition does absolutely nothing right? You can have a million signatures but it doesnt mean he's coming back on the show, i mean he is good and i went to highschool with him so i know who he is but i still think that the petition is useless.

  • ELLEN!!!! pleaz do something..He shouldnt be kicked off.Pleaz do sumtin to get him bak on..i will DIE if he doesnt..Not like tht but i will be upset..He as the most cutest laugh nd smile nd a great voice.i wanna see him more.pleaz do sumtin.tim should b kicked off.even tho i like him to but he doesnt have a great voice.alex needs to stay.

  • Please sign the petition for Alex Lambert if you havent already! just search in google 'alex lambert petition' almost 18,000 sigs!

  • I honestly have not seen a single person who DOESNT like Alex. Yet, he gets voted off. I honestly have not seen a single person who HAS such a unique and prominent voice this season. Yet, he gets voted off.

    What the heck.

    Why?

    He needs to come back.

    Like, seriously.

    He NEEDS to.

    <3

  • Alex. ur the best. please go thou with your singing career. fine work coming from your followers you now have a fan base. so go for it.

  • i really think america is full of idiots!! in the past few years they send home people who have real talent and leave talentless eye candy around... TIM URBAN FOR EXAMPLE!! He hasn't wowed me at all!! ALex should still be there....

  • @terrorqueen66 --Alex Lambert is more eye candy than anyone else on that show!

  • my most favorite person on american idol EVER ! ): i misss him, i wish he could come back

  • I stopped watching when Alex was eliminated.

    This season is really boring.

    I don't think anyone has that IT factor.

  • andrew garcia has the it factor! lmao in yo face nigga

  • andrew garcia has all the "youtubers" endorsing him. if it weren't for them, i dont think he would have made it that far. he's good but he's not THAT good. in yo face!

  • Awesome!

  • I know he was one of my fav's !

  • Either they bring him back, or I stop watching Idol. Period.

  • They to need to make things right with him and viewers by giving him the wildcard now that there's a opening in the top 12! It make the much more interesting to hear Ryan say, "America here's your Top 12, again." Everyone knows the producer swayed him, so its not like anyone would have an issue with it!

  • Wow 2 videos of this performance together have 60,000 unique views in just 3 & half days! That's more than his Trouble perf. had after a week! If that doesn't say anything about whether this song was the better choice I don't what does! Everything the judges criticized him for w/ Trouble is exactly what he wanted to do and did do with this song!!!! Did more with the song, acoustic guitar, piano, just him singing, and comfortable being him!! exactly what kara wanted! This is just so wrong!

  • HOW DO I SEND A VIDEO TO AMERICAN IDOL. HE NEEDS TO COME BACK. LIKE NEEDS TO. god im pissed off.

  • 1:56 O_O LMAO

  • my favorites never win. i voted so much for him.

  • i wish he hadn't listened to that stupid producer!! he is so talented and cute and maybe even if he wouldn't be ready to win he wasn't ready to be eliminated that fast! this is amazing !

  • ALEX! If you're reading this - you have to know how truly gifted you are. You have the wonderful tone and soul of singers, Stevie Winwood (Blind Faith) and Gary Brooker (Procul Harum) (listen to them) - PLEASE nurture your talent, don't EVER let something like that American Idol nonsense get in your way. You are truly better off without them. I wish you well and look forward to all your success. Thanks for the few weeks of enjoyment on Amer Idol - ( we won't be watching it anymore).

  • Alex should have sang this song on idol instead! I liked this one way better! I guess cuz I'm a teen and the Mario song sounds way more current. I just found out the Trouble song is only a few years old, but I automatically assumed it was something from the '70s or something. Why did the producer tell him to sing Trouble? Ugh.

  • i wish he got a chance to sing this on idol :(

  • i'm soooo ticked that he got voted off. he definitely deserved to be there for so much longer! i dont understand. there are so many people on the show still that can't sing as well as him. wth. -_- bring him backkkkkkkk. i'm so upset!

  • This guy got completely ripped off. He had the most unique and cool voice of ALL the guys this season.

  • Alex Lambert, you are possibly the best singer American Idol has ever seen....You are a one of a kind, amazingly talented rising star and this is why you are getting more attention than any of the other contestants :D I can't believe the producers talked you into singing 'Trouble', good grief it was like they were setting you up! Please FOX bring back Alex and make good on your BIG mistake, let him sing the songs he wants to sing....he deserves the chance to prove his IS the next American Idol!

  • Idol has GOT to bring Alex back!! I LOVE this performance-- Alex said in an interview that he was supposed to sing this the week he got voted off, but a producer told him to sing "Trouble" instead-- a song totally wrong for his demographic!! This season of Idol was already a weaker one, and without Alex it's just plain TERRIBLE. AI needs him back in more ways than they even know.

  • I agree that he was the best talent American Idol had this year. He was AMAZING. I was soooo disappointed to see him get voted off so early. Totally unfair!

  • This IS the type of song Alex Lambert should have been singing. He is a 19 year old boy with an amazing voice that needs to be current. If it is true that "trouble" was chosen for him instead of this song, THEY are to be blammed for his beeing voted off. I am not watching AI anymore!!!!

  • Is it true that Idol producers told him to sing Trouble instead of this song?! I'm not even interested in watching anymore.

  • Omg! He is so effing cute and talented! He looks sooo effing hott when he bites his lip when he's singing.<3 He should have stayed! I wouldn't be watching American Idol anymore if Lee Dewyze wasn't there. Love you Alex!

  • Stupid Idol producers. Making Alex choose 'Trouble' instead of this song. More people like this song better. Maybe if they didn't tell him to choose Trouble, he would still be in... interesting. Fox made a huge mistake.

  • america made a mistake..... big time.

  • their loss!! he was the best!!! go alex!!!

  • AHHHHHHHHHHH WE WANT YOU BACK ALEX! What the hell, the show is nothing without him.

    I've never been so upset for a contestant leaving, like my heart was beating so fast when they were sayin if hes staying or not. he was my favorite....i have no interest watching american idol anymore :/ ....

  • LOL go alex. OLD economics classmate in NRH texas. See ya soon man ! lol ill be with ya bro Trevor !

  • Love the song!! it just shows the public how AI is rigged and the winner picked..

    Once Alex was off we quit watching Idol.. Our year is over!! To bad so sad but WHATEVER!!!!!!!!!

  • Alex Lambert is so talented and did NOT deserve to be voted off that early in the game. If that Idol producer would have kept his mouth shut and let Alex play Mario's song, like he orginially wanted to, then I have no doubt that he would still be on the show. FOX, this kid is your ratings. Bring him back.

  • i stopped watching after he got booted...freaking tim urban is still on there what?!?!...after "it's too late to apologize" he should have been booted...but this kid has a smooth and wonderfully smokey/raspy voice!!!..i hope he pus a cd out soo...i am totally going to buy it...

  • This dude is great, cant wait till he gets an album out...

  • America just doesn't know what it wants, what it needs... What does it mean that America would politely usher off the true, real, sincere, adorable, nervous and talented boy, Alex Lambert, off the stage of America's 'reality', tear stained and devastated. Do we no longer fight for and believe in the 'American Dream' -which he basically fit like a glove with an addition mullet? Lets make a difference, this metaphor is quite disturbing. type 'alex lambert petition' on google and sign it!

  • I totally agree.. Alex coincidentally whose name is so close to last season's Star Adam Lambert.. Wow.. too 'musical Lambs' how beautiful a gift to us all. I actually think Alex is the Best Soul American Idol has had grace its stages. Something very pure about this boy and his voice is so different but so beautiful that I just want to hear him sing every song ever made. So, yeah I agree America is apparently lost especially when I see some the talent left on the show. Wow? How confusing a show.

  • I LOVE this guys voice!!! I was so upset when he got booted...He should still be on the show...its really weird that Dial Idol has him coming in #2 in votes that night when he did Trouble...so I thought he was safe...kinda of strange to me I dont get it....

  • i cried when he got  voted off:(

    i couldnt believe it! he is so cute and so talented and my absolute favorite banana!

    i love you ALEX! :))

  • He's my favorite banana :]

  • I could not believe when he got kicked off.

    He is so talented.

    K3Alex Lambert

  • Please go to change . org and search Alex Lambert! Sign the petition, and read the IMPORTANT UPDATE that could get him back on the show!!

  • man, he is so amazing!!!

    i cant even watch american idol anymore without him on there..=[

  • thats talent

  • honestly That guy Tim w/e the fuck his last name is sucks nbig blue balls the only reason y he got brought back was they needed someone to look good in front of the cameras and same reason y he's still in it, he cant sing worth shit. Lamberts voice is unique and will get known but I think more in the UK (hope Andrew Garcia wins though) :)

  • At this point I don't want Alex to come back on the circus that has become American Idol. He's much too good for the show. His phone should be ringing off the hook with recording offers.

  • Man, Oh, Man, is this young man talented and likeable.  My family and I love this guy's voice and were really, really bummed when he was booted from Idol. Some record company needs to sign him NOW.

  • Seriously, i'm like in love.

    He's absolutely gorgeous,

    and his voice gives me chills (:

  • damn i can't get enough of that voice

  • Judges Save! Come on this guy is great. Better than Beiber, better than Kesha. What's wrong with amerika?

  • I love Alex

  • love you forever.

    please do something.

    love him forever and ever.

    he will be very famous and i know it.

    he will be famous because of you.

    give him a CD already.

    or put him back in american idol.

    but a CD would be better.

    or better yet and album.yay

    THANKS!!!!!! love alex and bananas

  • Oh man what? seriously. i mean he is so good. his voice is like velvet. i was shocked. i don't get to watch Idol regularly so when i found out he was cut that sure did stink. I hope he does have great career.

  • Ellen you need to make him the next most famous person ever!!! I would love you so much more than i already do. LOVE ALEX LAMBERT!!! THE BEST PERSON EVER!!!

  • I love ripened bananas!!! He is so cute!!! He has a GREAT voice!!! He is going to be more famous than the next American idol!!!

  • Honestly that guy Tim w/e the fuck his last name is sucks big blue balls, the only reason y he's still in it cuz of his looks. Alex's voice is so unique close to james Morrison and Jamie cullum but voters are tone death and base off wat they see (He'l do good in the UK I think).....Hope Andrew Garcia wins

  • amazing...great...amazing...gr­eat (makes my heart melt)

  • hopefully Alex creates his own youtube channel, twitter, facebook, and his own record. Soon! :)

  • honesty that guy TIM w/e the fuck his last name is sucks big blue balls, he's only still in it cause of his looks Alex has a unique voice and but the voters just arent used to his kind of voice(He could do awesome in the UK I think)....hope Andrew Garcia wins

  • I love Alex. he was my favorite. Idol NEEDS to bring him back!

  • coming from a sister who love rnb, soul, and hiphop this boy can sing. the sky is the limit for alex. he can have crossover success. he got that john legend , john mayer and james morrison appeal. i voted alex m y li blue eyed soul. come over to the dark side they is an audiences in rnb for you.

  • ALEX LAMBERT IS THEEEE BEST!

  • freaking amazing!!!

  • hes a heart throb, hes going to be a sensation among all girls, he has a lovely voice! :]

  • He sucks. I'm kidding. I mean, his voice is really really good!!! He'll get over the stage fright. When you can sing like that, you just need more times in front of audiences. He was the only one on Idol anyone would actually pay to see.

  • i wish he would have stayed on longer, he was my favorite person out of all of them. along with aaron kelly :)

  • he has an amazing voice! it wasn't fair.

  • wow this performance was amazing. And i do agree he has such a unique voice, and hes so adorable...i love his dimples ;) but he does have great things coming his way

  • This kid has an AMAZING AND UNIQUE Voice...his talent reminds me of John Mayer and Rod Stewart...and definitely a lot cuter than those two...I hope somebody gives him a contract...he will do well. I can't stop listening to his song he sang on AI , TROUBLE,,,great talent. Too bad!!!

  • Great song by Alex!

    It was better than most of American Idol's performances last night!

  • There;s just something about his voice..isn't there??

    how did america get it so wrong???

    He's so talented hes definately going places !!!

  • DANNNNNGGG!!! He's hot AND he has an amazing voice...what the heck america!

  • i love him so much omg! AND HE SAND LET ME LOVE YOU that is fate like legit that has been my song since i was like 8 i always loved it ahhh i love him

  • I so voted for him!!

    I still cant believe he didnt make i through, he's my favorite!

  • Another wonderful performance! I just love his voice and his singing style. I wish he could've lasted longer on Idol so we could get some studio recordings out of him and could've seen him on the tour this summer. Maybe he'll do a coffee-house tour in a van the old-school way! :-) Can't wait for your album, Alex!
