  • His arrangement is so new and fresh. I could listen to this over and over. Well done.

  • okay okay okay. stereotypes, prejudices, and general dislikes aside. this guy got a standing ovation from Simmon Cowell, who else has ever managed that? im sorry but that alone vrtually proves that Adam Lambert is more than just a cut above the average singer. it proves that he is one of the best performers out there. sexuallity is irrelevant

  • boom. headshot.

  • Other than being a loud and proud flamer, I like him. 

  • Beautiful. I love this performance and ring of fire the most.

  • I bet your parents didn't imagine you were going to be a LEGEND to be Idolised by millions !?!? When I first saw you, I DID :)

  • I LOVE me some ADAM.......

  • I hate the makeup and the homo crap, but he is without a doubt the best ever on idol

  • everyone please check out the songs i wrote

  • hair still stands listening him sing this. bestest version of this song ever.

  • I just love rewatching all of his work on American Idol. And yes, he is incredibly good, and much better than the original version

  • I love this show... Love Kelly Clarkson, Carrie Underwood. Adam is the best singer ever to be on this show. He can take his voice to places that no one can... WOW!!

  • i liked his version better than the original.

  • I've never watched an episode of that show but of all the clips I've seen that is the best performance to me

  • he started good... but ended bleh

  • Casey James' "Jealous guy" was a great performance, David Cook's "Hello" was a great performance, Chris Daughtry's "Hemerhage" was a great performance; but Adam Lambert's "Mad World" made greatness sound like absolute crap by comparrison.

  • OMG-he sounds like herbert the pervert from family guy

  • Adam, i'm not sure if you still read these...but ,,I thought you were amazing...never missed a note...always in tune...tone always amazing..........always a showman..........perfect performer. I'm from Canada, so I'm not able to vote.......you were always a fav of mine. Nover give up the dream!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I believe in you!!!!!!! Have fun with it! Try not to be soooo serius!!

  • Note, people who don't win american idol, are soo much more famous and rule so much harder than the winners. WHOOP!!!! ADAM RULES.

  • I do respect Adam Lambert and I love his voice... but. he got the lyrics wrong.

  • @adbar121 ..And? Lots of singers mess up their own songs on stage, doesn't matter as long as you play on and sound good! :D

  • @adbar121 the song needed to be shortened because of very little time in American idol. therefore, he sang the song with edited lyrics..

  • Probably the best AI performance ever. Even though I voted for Kris because overall I preferred his music. Glad Adam is finding success; I just hope he keeps his head on straight (no pun intended).

  • His voice is so nice! ♥

  • the show isn't actually about who sings the best. It's actually about how well that person can be a good role model..

  • Kris who??

  • I heard this without knowing who it was ..... I thought he was a girl ....

  • Didn't some guy named Chris win? I've never heard of that kid since this season and I've heard of Adam so much, Adam should've won this.

  • americans ...

  • seriously, americans.......you made the wrong choice.........

  • He may have lost, but who is more famous??

  • best performance of that season....love love looooooooooovvvvvvveeeee

  • it's funny how famous he is now despite the fact he lost.

  • i cant believe that people can hate gays! I want one as my bestie.. My gay bestie so bad!!!!

  • @TheBettyandBooShow OH MY GOD! so do i, i have a gay friend and i wanna marry him, to bad his gay though, but like his so cute and niceee and adorable <3 love gays!

  • @TheBettyandBooShow because you wouldnt be here if your parents were gay

  • he sounds like Herbert from Family Guy

  • @MrSpikilator yea he does hahaha

  • Comment removed

  • Absolutely Amazing!!! He has so much talent and he definitely should've won!

  • Cool story, bro. Needs more Michael Andrews and shit.

  • Just goes to show that you don't have to win Idol to be successful

  • Well, he didn't win AMERICAN idol - but he won the world's heart XD obviously he's more famous than the winner ..

  • After his season, i just stopped watching. Nothing can compare to him. He's the best American Idol, he totally should've won that year. But oh well, it always seem that the runner ups are more well known anyways. Whatever happened to Kris Allen???

  • @blondebitch1111 totally agree with you on this one.. how many hit songs has Adam had? and how many did Kris have? ..like, one?

  • love the laugh at 0:14

    

  • Comment removed

  • this is the second best performance EVER! Sorry but fantasia barrino summertime still beats this.

  • the fact that adam lost just shows how dumb american voters are

  • @jakester2271 it isn't because we are dumb. It's all about tastes and you have yours, and we have ours. It is not something you can discuss about!

  • @jakester2271 stupidity: level american :)

  • @jakester2271 its olay though cause he is more known than kris

  • @jakester2271 No, I think they did that on purpose or something. If Adam won, he would be under contract with Idol. But he got to go and do his own thing. And like some other person said, he's more famous than Kris now.

  • Too bad he has gone on to make nothing but garbage.

    He has way to much talent to be making such awful music.

  • this is stupid a song like this should not be made different

  • You're right Adam...sports do stink!!! Love Forever!!!

  • And who beat him? Yea, i can't remember either, because Adam is absolutely amazing! I love his music so much!

  • fucking awesome. but not my favorite he did on AI :p Ring of fire was THE song that did it for me.

  • O.ol Funny I love almost everything too ,except sports lol

    By the way ,I love this perfomance of Adam,it's epic :D

    I'm not really into covers ,BUT THIS ROCKS!

    ♥ you Adam ;)

  • Just listened to the Gary Jules version, then I couldn't resist hearing Adam's. <3

    I usually hate covers of classics, but Adam is the rare exception here ^^

    I love how he took this song and kind of made it his own. He twisted his own style into it, and I think he did it very well.

  • its good but he over did it. the other version is better

  • magically...

  • I like it but i like the original version more... this is really good too... :D

  • Best, best, best ever!

  • He's so good :) I really like his version of this song!

  • This version & Aiden Grimshaw off the UK X Factor were 2 brilliant covers of tears for fears classic song too. Gary Jules also sang this song good as well. How did Adam Lambert the best singer on A.I that year didn't win the show though?

  • all the hate because of Adams sexual orientation is so silly. I'll never understand why something like that matters. its great that Adam stands for something and that his fans are so open minded and kind...i made a short film called "Role Reversal" that is in support of the LGBT community and is ANTI bullying..please check it out on my channel and spread the message within the film! It would mean the world to me and hopefully Adam sees it one day!

  • THE BEST PERFORMANCE ON AMERICAN IDOL EVER.......

  • I just like how raw this performance is. No gimmicks, just singing.

  • he should have won :/

  • at the start he kinda sounded like Herbert the pervert

  • HE SHOULD HAVE WON INSTEAD OF THAT PIECE OF CARDBOARD KRIS ALLEN

  • For all you haters, it has nothing to do with his sexuality!!!! He is talented as shit and anyone who says its cus his sexuality, you must be a homophobe or a hater and jealous that he has talent Haters

  • AIDEN GRIMSHAW&ADAM LAMBERT BEST COVER OF THIS SONG EVERR

  • Best version ever!!! They judged him based on his sexuality..it's not a singing contest anymore...Like if the straight one who won did something with his carrier -__________-'

  • 2:35 maaddddddd oarhhhhhhh

  • It's so weird to see him with blond hair!

  • How come he lost his season of American Idol? I can't believe it's just about his sexual orientation. The guy is amazing.

  • @eagle0468 It´s not about his sexual orientation, it is about tastes and if people did not vote it was because they throught that there were better contestants!

  • @LeonorSilva95 Wow, are you really that naive? It was absolutely about his sexual orientation. If it were anything else he would have been the winner. Most Americans are not tolerant of what they disagree with with regard to social and cultural mores.

  • @eagle0468 I am NOT naive. I just believe that he did not won because he was not the best contestant! I did not vote for him. and now? will you tell that it was because he was gay? well, it surely wasn't for that, if we take into consideration that my best friend is gay. I did not vote him because, in my opinion (as in the majority of the american people opinion's), he wasn't the best contestant. So, I am sorry to disappoint you, but maybe you should accept that he lost and Kris Allen WON!

  • @LeonorSilva95 ...... i dont think i've ever heard of this Kris Allen lol

  • @rayechayelle1 then maybe you should inform yourself , ahahah.

  • @LeonorSilva95 nah i think adam's awesome enough lol

  • @rayechayelle1 He surely is awesome , but Kris is better (:

  • @eagle0468 doesn't matter he came out on top selling music he loves to sing and makes money off what he wants to do and not caring about what people say

  • @eagle0468 He got 2nd place because everyone knew he would be famous and Kris Allen was good enough to make it all the way, so they gave it to him. I agree Adam shouldv'e won though...

  • @eagle0468 nah man it doesn't have anything to do with his sexual orientation... Every year just about, the best contestant gets voted out top 3 or top 4.... Seriously... except for maybe the Carrie Underwood season, and Kelly Clarkson season... the best always gets voted out early! Daughtry.. Aiken... etc

  • Alteast Simon recognized true talent and gave a standing ovation

  • Adam...what a great performance! You are amazing!!!

  • Such a pity he showed such amazing talent and endless possibilities on the show and after the show ended, he went down the pop route. What a waste of talent.

  • @MikeIsEvil I AGREE BIG TIME! Was so excited about this new album-thought he might go rock. But his 1st song sounds like something Beiber would sing. So sad. Miss AI Adam so so bad. Pop fades, classic rock lives. Like Randy said in Cryin video from AI, you are meant to be a rock star. Love him like crazy, still following him, but very disappointed. Although, if you look at Better than I know myself, 99% of fans disagree. Go figure?

  • @MikeIsEvil

    Don't judge potential from song covers. He wasn't bad but this cover isn't that good. He sounds like he almost cracks his voice at some points where he tries to sing really softly. He does a kinda bad falsetto. Once again not a bad cover but not professional.

  • @edgeofsins This is one of my favorite covers from him. (Ring of Fire being my favorite and Whole Lotta Love a close second) but regardless if you like the covers or not is irrelevant. He showed such creativeness and talent with the covers, his voice, his interpretations. Which made me think that since he had ALL the freedom in the world to make something involving all these attributes after AI, he could blow us all away. Instead he chose a male Lady Gaga route. Just terrible.

  • @MikeIsEvil

    From the Ring of Fire cover I didn't like it honestly but at some points I can tell he can do a good voice for Metal music(Not metal that involves screaming).

  • @edgeofsins He has an amazing voice, its there. Regardless if you like it, the guy has talent. But he's wasting it and he isn't what he could be. Granted, he has every right to sing whatever he wants and whatever makes him happy. But it sucks.

  • i'm gonna comment and say

    I FUCKING LOVE YOU ADAM LAMBERT!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • doesnt even get the lyrics right...ruined it!

  • @nevenshadoe on American Idol, they HAVE to shorten the songs for timesake.

  • i cant believe the comments about adam is just 'prettying up' the song without emotion, or that it sounds terrible because the key is too high or its too fast... (that is totally redundant imo) this is what he actually gone through as a kid and teenager coz hes gay. i dont think anyone can sing it more soulfully LIVE. (the keyword is live)

  • HEE SHOULLDVVEE WOOOOOOOOOOOOOON

  • That's a great song, but Adam, in this interpretation and overall performance, he made it even better. This was a better than amazing performance.

  • If U Ever Overveiwed The Finals Adam Sang Sooo Much Better But Ppl Just Judged Him because They Found Out He Was gay Adam Has Mad Talent! This is A Mad World!

  • S.E.X.Y.

  • Lol. I was lmao when it said "Adam's Family" xD

  • Comment removed

  • I hear Herbert from Family Guy....

  • @Kibermaci I was thinking that before I ever even seen your comment. lol I love Adam Lambert and everything but still. Maybe its just the quality of the video. I love his style. Its badass.

  • idk, i personally think he did a terrible version. love this song, and dont hate him. just hated him doing this song... or any.

  • he should have won and Danny Gokey second place...

  • This is a strange version of the song. I like the Glee Project version better, because it was softer. But this version is more emotional version of it. (: I likeyyy

  • I think Adam was one of the absolute best performers ever on American Idol, not only because of his singing but because of his creativity. I appreciated his creativity more than anything and of course he has an amazing voice. Every time he sang I was glued to the TV.

  • @ginnyawe ikr.. if you see my wardrobe then youll be surprised.. I <3 HIM!!!!!

    ADAM MITCHELL LAMBERT

  • ..... how did adamn lose out to chris whats his face??? chris couldnt sing as well as adam ... this was rigged .... chris only won because this was back when people hated gays thats why adam lost.

  • he messed this song up

  • Hes been arrested for fighting in a gay club ....

    ..Good song and well sung though

  • BEST singer i ever heard. That song make me chills.I don't understand why he didn't win.

  • WOW ```~~

  • Simon stood up for him...and that should tell you everything you need to know about this guy...

  • like @Shobikz said, simon stood up & clapped for adam, that really says something about hwo good adam is. i like adams version way more then the orignal version. and that doesnt happen often. 

  • I'm glad he didn't win idol. He got to do a CD of his choice without idol forcing their 'look' on him. He got to be him! That's the most important part.

  • He sounds like Herbert the Pervert when he sings this song...

  • @ewible11 LOL

  • I love this song <3

  • I was never a fan of his when he was on Idol, however this performance was one of the best performances I've seen on this show out of all of the seasons.

  • Im from New Zealand,

    They judged him on his sexuality. How fucked up is that shit

  • @skeex2011 so???

  • @skeex2011

    It's ok, he got to make an awesome record without being owned by Idol and 19 Ent. He got to have a lot more freedom and his album was a huge success. Chris Allen, who won, has been completely forgotten by now.

    America *NEVER* picks the right Idol, except maybe when they picked Kelly Clarkson.

  • @skeex2011 Pretty sure the show's rigged, actually. Everyone knows the other guy sucked (comparitively).

  • @skeex2011 Adam didn't even have to win. He's now a superstar & what's Kris? A nobody!

  • @skeex2011 he's a good fuckin singer u hating bastard

  • @skeex2011 judge him good or bad? O_o

  • i cried when he lost -.-

  • @haimeggomuffin SAME!!!

  • To US fans: Its okay, but if you want to se it done properly, check out Aiden Grimshaw's version on UK X Factor.. Proper chilling!

  • SHITS ALL OVER AIDEN GRIMSHAW!!

  • love this guy!

  • American Idol produces singers for America...but the real test of what potential an artist has is how they perform internationally. Not being from the USA, there has only been 2 Idol performers who can attain to that, Kelly Clarkson and Adam Lambert. Interesting to note that on a global scale there has only been 1 Idol that has won and is a major star, Kelly Clarkson. All the others who have done well around the world never win...hmmm does that say something about who votes in these comps?

  • @MsMadShopper

    Yes, they're fucking idiots. These are the same people who elected George W. Bush twice in a row.

  • @BeautyBoyTV

    This is amazing and I'm a conservative.

  • @BeautyBoyTV Bush was an okay president during his first term, but his second is where he really screwed.

  • @BeautyBoyTV And Obama seems to be doing much better..

  • @BeautyBoyTV

    That's because Al Gore would have done so much for our country right? I mean, come on, he did invent the internet.

    (I hope you can grasp the sarcasm)

    LMFAO

    Stay out of politics kid.

  • @XEPRX

    Ok first of all, Al Gore would have probably been one of the best presidents. Someone who doesn't center all his beliefs on a magical man in the sky, and doesn't dispute scientific facts like global warming? That's a win.

    You americans have no fucking idea what's good for you. That's why you're driving your country straight to shit. You're sitting by idly watching while your presidents ruin your country one after the other. You don't have the brains to actually vote for an independent.

  • @BeautyBoyTV

    I'll start this by assuming you live in a Third-World country, considering you obviously have a low budget education.

    Al Gore's "Scientific facts", are actually complete speculation. You should read the disclaimers on his research, before you try to quantify them in an argument. Your ignorance is actually quite entertaining, consider yourself a thespian, because you're making a complete ass out of yourself with your idiotic ideology. I won't lower my IQ by addressing your insults.

  • @XEPRX

    Yes, because every country that isn't America is "Third-World"... I live in Canada, the country you pretend to be from when you go to Europe, because everybody hates Americans.

    They aren't "Al Gore's facts". If you're honestly going to dispute scientific fact as if it's arguable, I have no reason to talk to you. You are the one who is ignorant. Go watch FOX News and fap to Megyn Kelly some more, smart one.

  • @BeautyBoyTV

    I'll bet you have Bill O Reilly pajamas.

    It's funny, you think Americans aspire to be canadians. Say, how is that nationwide health care working out? Oh wait, your economy is in the shit hole. Your extreme ambitions to defend Al Gore is pushing me to believe that you have homoerotic dreams and tendencies. You need to do some more research, considering all of the scientists supporting Al Gore's data for global warming, have pulled out their publishing. Back to Wikipedia for you.

  • @XEPRX Our economy is in the shit hole? Even with nation wide health care we are doing extraordinarily better.

  • This one gives me chills every single time. Best version ever and since then it's been nothing but victory. So what, that he did not win that competition, everyone knew, that he would be a winner even without it, I don't even remember who won that time... He makes me feel, that I'd like to be a man and his lover...

  • Both Adam and Clay should have won, we all know why they didn't. But where are Ruben and Chris now? Does anyone remember Chris's last name? I hope this coming year idol produces another Kelly, Clay, Adam or an Elliott. he was another gent who sould have won.

  • @Kitandroxandbec its Kris Allen :) i love Adam like crazy and i agree so freaking much that he should have won, but that doesnt give anyone a reason to bash Kris. they are good friends!

  • What year was this season shot?

  • @AliasAce18 2009

  • he is the beeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee­eeeeeeeeessst

  • smosh?

  • @pinkguitarunicornz your username says the same about you.

  • Upvote if u watching this video cause u a Gears of War fan!

  • adam is so incredibly talented and he´s hot too!

  • @BsophieeeB

    TRUE

  • oh my god.... he is the best american idol contestant hands down. i don't care about clay, kelly, or carrie... he should have won.

  • when he was singing this, i saw dom in a cloud kissing maria behind him...

  • I like his own personal version of it.

  • Good way to get out of the fact you're running out of time! Cowell with his producer's head on!

  • I think, it doesn't matter, that he hadn't won the AI. In my country, I have never ever heard about the winner, Kris Allen...but Adam's voice has reached even to Middle Europe :) That is the thing, that really matters:)

  • He's just singing it and not feeling the song, awful.

  • @crosbyj25 Music is subjective and you are entitled to your opinion. Ive always seen it the other way around.

  • @crosbyj25 First of all let me just state once again that i should have won this competition!! lol I agree with your comments. This boy is hiding something? Where is the passion, the feeling, the emotion!? A lackluster performance if ive ever seen one. Probably was concerned at the time of people stereotyping cause he was gay!?! Why people are drawn to this dude will forever be a mystery to me.

  • @crosbyj25

    you are awful:P :D you can,t do it better,,so SHUT UP :D
