  • He made this song sexy :P

  • I love Adam, but Johnny Cash songs need to be sung with that deep, gruff sound. This sounds like Ballywood (Tunak Tunak Tun).

  • Sexy! LOVE ADAM.

  • I LOVE THIS SONG I THINk hes done a brilliant amazing version the arabesueinfluence makes the song so warm and differnt ....I am fan of jonny cash and you gotta remmber he was one cool dude, probaly the coolest in country music so i reckon hed be like yeh. x

  • @soulsong4ever That is what I always thought regarding this version of the song. Johnny Cash worked with Trent Reznor and was so willing to try something new and different. I wager he would have loved that someone took his song and went somewhere new with it.

  • Comment removed

  • no, no , no Just no

  • Can everyone please get over the fact he's gay?! GOD it doesn't have ANYTHING to do with his talent! Ok fine if you don't like him but please don't dislike him because of his sexuality!! It makes me so mad.

  • This may work for some of the younger generation. But it doesn't come close to the cover that Johnny Cash did of it. The original version was done by Anita Carter. So if you want to hear the original version, listen to Anita Carter's version.

  • He messed up this song big time

  • Very sensual. This has way more personality than the original song. The tone suits the lyrics much better. I'm really glad that Adam was brave enough to try something this different and beautiful. :)

  • wtf..

  • I love how people are ripping on him. Hes such a good singer fuck off.

  • @strumem90 yep - sexy dancing...or maybe just sex.

  • If Johnny Cash was still alive this would kill him to hear this IDIOT sing his song. Lambert should stick to his original stuff and stop trying to redo someone elses songs.

  • Well its no Jonny Cash but this version is still Good, that also might be the Glambert inside me but its still a good version both ways.

  • this is horrible.

  • as little as i like the idea of reinterpriting a classic song like this, i have to admit he took it and used it to work with his own voice by using a different style. I honestly don't feel like lambert would do well with a country song

  • GREAT WAY TO RUIN A CLASSIC COUNTRY SONG FROM JOHNNY CASH....

    WHAT IS WRONG WITH TODAY'S GENERATION ?

  • Now this is what made me fall in love with Adam's music. His voice is so pure and passionate, but lately with songs like If I Had You, I feel his voice is becoming mechanical, and it makes me sad, because he has so much raw talent, he doesn't need to rely on computers to alter his voice.

  • scaryyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy­yyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy­yyyyyyyyyyyyyy

  • Brilliant.

    

  • Booooooooooohuuouou!!!!!!!! U stink Adam lambert!!!!! Ur an idiot u don't deserve to sing this song!!!!

  • he isnt worth it to sing this song -.-

  • He sounds like a woman... bloody annoying...

  • Se me pone la carne de gallina al escuchar a Adam.....realmente es admirable. Puede cantar lo que sea y siempre serà de primera. Mis respetos

  • i fuckin hate his music. but, he does have a great voice

  • @MetalHead420100 How can you hate hi's music :< ? But i agree THAT he has ADAMazing voice.

  • @kristalli32 k well, maybe hate is too strong of a word. i actually enjoy what he's done with this song, but i like this song because its from johnny cash who was awesome. that's mainly why i like this. i just do not agree very well with all the same pop crap that keeps getting pumped out from the mainstream all the time. i just have too much different kinds of unique, and interesting music to go through to listen to guys like adam lambert(even though i still say he has a great voice).

  • wonderful, I am picky about cover's but this is awsome.

  • Ice 7609 says it...what do we care if he's gay or not? He is an incredible talent, pulls you in like a magnet...His Ring of Fire is creatively brilliant...can you imagine how he completely changed that song in every way? May not be his arrangement, but he took it and turned it into something that I will never forget. He has totally captivated me, and I happen to be a professional, mainstream 62 year old woman! He is hot beyond belief, and I couldn't care less if he is gay.

  • Adam is awsome. nuf said

  • Wait lol people who don't like him are posting on here? Seriously what's the point? If you don't like it what possessed you to click it?

    "Oh, I hate this guy. Guess I ought to listen to his stuff."

    ^ Makes no sense.

  • Adam i love you. but i like the way johnny cash sings it better. but i love you voice!!! you did a really good job.

  • this sound arab

  • His sexual orientation has absolutely nothing to do with his abilities as a singer/performer. Why people want to bring that to the table is beyond me. Admire his undeniable talent -it will carry him far and he'll be here for a long time :)

  • Adam completely changed this song and made it sound sexy. btw I'm a girl and I can't sing as high as him and make it sound good lol

  • @natmil1 I think this is actually just a cover. He didn't come up with the arrangement, just made it infamous with his Idol performance of it. Could be wrong though - regardless, I agree with yout hat this is an excellent arrangement.

  • @gimplar june carter worte this song and jonny cash made it famous

  • Awsome Song, one of my favorites since he preformed it on Idol.

    greetings from Germany ;)

  • This is...no words can describe. I love it. ♥

  • When I was a kid, my gym had the words "Ring of Fire" around the top. I grew up listening to Johnny Cash singing it. I LOVE this version. It is soo different. Cool!

  • @JirelCahil check out the originator of this version, Dilana from rockstar supernova... the video is on youtube. also, you'll notice Adam says on the american idol video that he "got the idea" from somewhere else. pretty awesome too, but they both rock it.

  • @dannoj98 Thanks, that was neat. I have to admit to like Adam's version better but that's just personal opinion as I like his voice. I did remember that he had said it was a version he heard while looking up the song.

  • Dont hate him because hes gay

    Freddy was gay and noone hated him, right?

  • It's a shame Simon was disappointed that this didn't sound exactly like the original. This is fantastic

  • @HiSkewlGraduates - I bet high school is the only thing you graduated. Either that or its your lifelong unattainable dream, like a trillion dollar fortune is to normal people.

  • Never compare him to freddy mercury. 

  • 133 people who disliked this couldn't feel the heat of burning ring of fire......

  • This is so beautiful and innovative--you can really understand the intent of the song. It's not Johnny Cash, but Cash himself was an innovator--I bet he would have loved Lambert's originality.

  • WTF??? This is a punk/country song not a egyptian sex song.....

  • Awesome rendition of this song...beautiful vocals. Love it and I like Johnny Cash's version too...so there!

  • @HiSkewlGraduates hmmm immature much...

  • @cricky14 Not at all, he's a disgusting excuse for a humanbeing. His raunchy and gross antics are very immature and childish.

  • @HiSkewlGraduates In all honestly, please explain why Cahs is rolling in his grave. That statement just doesnt hold water or make any sense to be perfectly honest.

    Do you realize that the version of Ring Of Fire by Cash is AS DIFFERENT from teh ORIGINAL recording of the song(Yep, John did NOT record it first) as Adam's version is different from John's. It is called artistic freedom. To be honest, the very original verson is the best, but I like John's and Adam's version because it is THEIR's

  • I think he did a great job with this song, definitely very different but I like it a lot. It's has this mysterious and dark sound to it and I don't think it is a "sexual" sound either. I'm not saying it is better than the original because I don't really like a lot of remakes but this is one, I would definitely have on my playlist.

  • My jaw touched the floor... under my floor......

  • LOL WTF, MOSTECRI

    are you retard? HAHAHAH

    AND "GONA"? OMG WAT.

    ANALPHABET.

  • okay ...wtf...the song sounds fucking sexual now.. fucking faggot killed

    fucknig thed original kicks so much more ass

  • If you don't like adam lambert, what possessed you to come on the video and post? I mean... you know you don't like him, so why....?

  • i really think that adam lambert is just a product like the whole pop music industry he suck come on everyone it,s time to wake up and listen to real music there are so many great musicians in this world this suck jonhny cash was a great artist. adam lambert suck he dont write his song and he dont have any talent and i'ma haters and its not because he is gay evenn if he is gay come on you in his eye he likes it in the ass

  • Johnny cash did it first and better

  • @nintengod Johnny Cash did it SECOND!!! Anita Carter recorded it FIRST! and Yes, SHE did it better!

  • why are people so angry that hes gay,a sexuality doesnt change a person,doesnt change that he has a amazing voice,doesnt change his music !

  • I apologize for Cash fans, but this new version

    Adam Lambert and his entourage performed,

    incredible Good!

  • All you haters, I bet Johnny Cash would have liked it see 9 inch Nails video with Johnny Cash, not something the old timers would or could have predicted. The boy took a song and made it his own, something those judges drilled into AI contestants from day one. SO get it over it!

  • It sounds like something Jim Morrison would have done (The Doors)

    It's actually a very good version of this song! :D

  • new 'ring of fire' available.....

  • JUST AMAZING 

  • @ OhYeah98789 yeah and what do u sing? Stupid little church songs? Well if you payed atention then you would know that What adam lambert sings now is called Glam Rock just like Kiss so it is somthing to be proud of so go run along and sing your little church songs.

  • I love how sultry and sexy this is. The performance on American Idol did have more sizzle though. The Cash original doesn't sound right to me anymore - too upbeat.

  • Adam Lambert singing a Johnny Cash song?

    This world is lost...

  • Rarely does a cover become better than the original, this performance is no exception not even close

  • He puts NONE of the true feelings behind the original version, and his voice is nothing special. It's not telling a story anymore, he's just singing mindlessly w/o continuing the message. And his vocal style is nothing to be proud of either (this coming from a choir kid).

  • -melts-

    What a HOT picture~

  • I love love this song! this version is definitely better than the original! beautiful voice! amazing!! Oh my God every time I listen, awakens in me a great feeling! is like floating .. this song touches the depths of my heart ^ ^

  • 1 million people are deaf

  • 123 people are deaf :-/

  • @OblivionIris HATE HATE HATE

  • FAIL

  • @MrRustyKuntz u?yea

  • I have thought the originals is the best and it is the best, but i love adams versions of it:) im not a adam hater, but i just think the original is the best dont judge me:) I love his work:) he is hot too:)

  • I love how sensual he makes this song <3

  • this shit should be better than johnny cash ? what a joke ! this guy looks like a cocksucking faggot

  • i LIIIIIIKE IT :D woop!

  • I love Adam's version than J.Cash's.

  • Hmm seems like 118 insane people escaped from their asylum and clicked the dislike button 

  • OMG ADAM LAMBERT IS THE HOTTEST MAN ALIVE!

  • Really think this young man is an awesome performer. Fantastic voice, hot looks , he has it all. Enjoyed listening. Thanks for sharing..

  • First of all I want to say I think what he did with this song was absolutely retarded and needs to be shot and will probably be shot for it...with that said. This was awesome! Not my style of music at all but it was one of the biggest risk that anyone could take and while I still think it was stupid it was well executed and I'm sure if I like this song because it's good or because of how much I respect what he did... he does belong in Broadway though.

  • Geez! People hate him and don't listen to his music because he's gay. You have to get passed that. To all those people who say that YOUR MISSIN' OUT!!!

  • @Brandi108CP - you know I totally agree, and I don't see what the problem is... Freddy Mercury was gay, and everyone still loved Queen, so what the fuck is wrong with these people??? and I'm sure there were more rock stars that were gay that just never came out! GET OVER IT!

  • @Pam4Rob has nothing to do with his sexuality he's just a disgusting abuse for a humanbeing. his sexuality is neither here nor there. He' just disgusting and appauling and his music (in my opinion) sucks

  • @HiSkewlGraduates "disgusting excuse for a human being." Could you at least use the proper words in sentences if you want to, without facts to support you bias opinion, start calling people names?

  • @HiSkewlGraduates - wow instead of worrying about whether or not Adam Lambert is a good singer or not, why don't you try hooked on phonics... It works for all sorts of losers.

  • @Pam4Rob. Okay, was I the only one who just went, "Freddie Mercury was gay?"

  • @Pam4Rob people are bipolar cause they like an artist then they see another artist then they hate the one artist liking the other then they go back saying ooohhh i like the artist! People are wierd straight or gay doesn't define who lambert is as a person!

  • @Pam4Rob Freddie was something else on the stage.. was power.. not just a sweet voice.. /:) that's the difference..

  • @romancutzagiugiuc - I see no difference, so lets just agree to disagree on this subject

  • @Pam4Rob Cause society is going backwards in the USA due to religious zealouts!

  • @Brandi108CP Spelt past wrong bro

  • @ieldra I was very mad. So it was 1 mistake. Get over it! And I am a GIRL!

  • @Brandi108CP I am still gutted this wonderful performer got runner up. Shame on you you Idol judges!!!! I am 65 but think Adam is amazing!  Mixture of Freddie Mercury, Bowie, Gary Glitter, and his talent over rides all sexual inuendos. I just love this guy!!! Incidently, where exactly is the winner of Idol today???

  • @Brandi108CP We hate him because the problem is that he don't make his own music.

  • @Brandi108CP I Knoq Its Rediculous!

    It Shouldnt Matter If He Is Gay Or Not He Can Sing!

  • @Brandi108CP - learn to spell - past, not passed; you're, not your. Otherwise, I totally agree with you.

  • Look at his handsome face and hear his awesome voice.....

  • wooow O:

  • oh no.. he needs to go somewhere.. i cannot stand him. and im posting this because i feel the need to express my opinion.. hes so dramatic.. he belongs on broadway...

  • ohgawd.

  • great

  • I love this version of Ring of Fire. I'm a hardcore glambert. Adam rockkkkssssssss!

  • Adam channels the spirit of freedom. Pitch perfect flawless singing.

  • for me, the live performance is better than the studio version

  • LOVE this song. Can he get any better or hotter?? haha.

  • this is off the hook! so original! no one has ever done anything like this! he is like an artist painting a picture with his vocal skills!

  • @trho1

    THIS IS ANYTHING BUT ORIGINAL! Dilana did this exact version about 5 years ago on Rock Star Supernova! He's just an unoriginal thief.

  • @trho1

    AND, I did this version too at an amateur concert night in AUGUST 2007!!!! So, he (Lambert) has the right to sing this but PLEASE stop saying he is original with this...

  • @tiger7128816 you know ,i was not their to hear what those others people, or you but i do know i heard him sing songs by other people and judging from the way he changed up every song he sang, even michael jackson, and queen and even the great sam cook, it is really hard, if not impossible to believe that he would sing this, like anyone! it is just not adam's style! and yes! he is very origina! and you just sound like one of those adam haters who doesn't want to give the guy his props,!

  • 114 peoples hands slipped obvs. who couldent like his amazing voicee!

  • @shorty111703 114 people prefer the original version, freedom of opinion

  • @shorty111703 shut up idiot they can have an opinion u fucking asshole.

  • i think he deserved to win but i think kris should have.adam did great on every one of his performences.

  • @SEXYVEGASKULLA

    Hes a new fag at singing. No one can out-due the original by Johnny Cash...

  • @Ramenking1 HATER!

  • @Ramenking1 Ummm, Cash didnt do the original!

  • @Rcksaltnnails

    Your right. June Carter and Merle Kilgore wrote the song.

    Johnny Cash just made it the best song ever, so technically you could say it was HIS song.

  • @Ramenking1 When Cash recorded it, money went to someone else, so NO, technically, you CANT say it is his. lol Besides, Anitia did it so much better than John it isnt even funny. John had to throw all the horns, the extra instruments, etc to fill the song out. Anita just opened her mouth and it came out amazing with her voice and a few quiet instruments. He didnt write, he didnt record it first so it was never HIS song.

  • @SEXYVEGASKULLA i will. ok she can't be tellin me if im a hater or not. she don't know what music i listen to...and yes i think ur woman is a man. and no im a woman and like ten times prettier and skinnier than her.

  • @SEXYVEGASKULLA ya ur ugly has hell and no u can't sing. i looked at ur channel to see if there was anything good and umm ya u can't sing. ur fiance must be blind! if i were u i wuld change ur screenname as well

  • Comment removed

  • @SEXYVEGASKULLA whu r u to tell me im a hater? i listen to adam lambert music...ok so u can stfu because i was just saying i have a right to my own opinion and i was just saying. so don't be callin me a hater cuz u don't know what i listen to. u don't know that i listen to adam lambert music...well now u do...so I AM NOT A HATER

  • @SEXYVEGASKULLA

    sorry, not a hater here...of the artist that is...but a hater of this particular performance...

    in fact...i loved his version of mad world and feeling good...among others...

    so calm yourself...sheesh...

  • Nobody can outdo Cash, but this is a really good version. Has a middle eastern vibe. Clever!!

  • I personally loved the live performance better, all the effects they use in this takes away from his beautiful vocals.

  • Best Version Yet. Love you adam. -Brianna

  • Love this song ... and hearing his sexy voice with it ... OMG!! Wow! He just keeps getting hotter and hotter. Why doesnt he just become the new sun or something!!!

  • 1:32 - 1:50 is just so beautiful!

  • hot voice and sexy gay

  • i can say

    THIS IS THE MOST BEUTIFUL AND EMOTIONAL VRSION AND SONG I EVER HEARD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    and the ADAM's vocal is just fantastic

    RING OF FIRE of adam lambert's version is my perfer song

  • Never really listened to him before. I love Johnny Cash and it's not like I'm saying this version is better or anything I just think he (probably not really him, but someone) did a wonderful job rearranging the song and he did a great job singing it.

  • @SorgFamily wow you never lisend to him?you need to cach up!!!!

  • wow pretty good...

    You cant compare this to cashs'. This isnt like when cash perfected "Hurt".

  • I am a 55-year old straight "classic country" guy. I happened to hear Adam's sound-check in Omaha while paying golf across the street. I had no idea who was singing, but I knew that whoever it was had some serious chops. I love the idea that some of the classic country music is finding its way into contemporary music. Let's keep building the bridge.

  • wow dude stick to your day/blow job and leave the classics to the pros. you raped and burned this song. thanks alot. >:-(

  • Failure. Original is better.

  • every song he sang better than the original.

    but haters gona hate

  • @mostecri noooo he made this song worse. have you ever listened to the original?????????????????? he made country, johnny cash no less sound like crap

  • @mostecri Im not hating, im just disliking.

  • @mostecri Yeaaah-, no.

  • @mostecri I have to fight the urge to say everything he sings is 'better' than the original. Because the song is so different it can't be compared to the original anymore. The ring of fire by Johnny Cash is a country classic, absolute genius. But adam lambert's version is also genius, but it's not a country interpretation, so how do you compare his songs when they are cross genre? Or so different that it's an entirely 'new' song.

  • @mostecri I love them equally. I couldn't part with the original Cash version, or Adam's new version, even though I like adam's vocal skills and abilities above the original singers... usually. Not all the time.

  • @mostecri well, i like this version and the original version, but i think if johnny cash was alive and heard adam lambert's version of ring of fire he'd be impressed johnny cash has a vibe of liking different artists and i think he'd like lambert! remember johnny cash had Danzig write him a song called 13 and danzig is a heavy metal musician. So that there say's it all! thanks for posting the song! and mostecri i agree with the haters are gonna hate cause they have nothing better to do.

  • yum! this guy has got it. he knows whats up.

  • he is soooo AMAZINGLY HOT and his voice is awsome

  • OMGLOL

  • up to now....i still agree with simon...this version is so bad...

  • @ja1207 ya its not as good as johnny cash's version he makes it sound kinda creepy

  • Okay I will admit. I was recommended to listen to this song by someone after mentioning I wished that someone could remake a modern version of this song without killing the song. While I was expecting this recommendation to fail hard its actually pretty decent. Its not like the original at all, the feel is completely different but it is not bad.

  • I loved the way Adam affected Randy "Stick in the Mud" Travis and that thang that was sitting next to Travis in the audience. Travis is the epitome of a homophobe, but then again I always thought Travis was gay. Cash would have loved this version of his song. Adam Lambert won American Idol Season 9 according to Simon Cowell.

  • I don't like this guy. But that was absolutely amazing. You just have to appreciate his vocal skills, whether you like him or not.

  • this was already was a great song and I really love the version from Johnny Cash, but this song sounds like a whole different song, and I really like it... it's unique

  • he is HAWT but too bad hes gay . crap.

  • @Hamsterdance2016 and thats more girls for me

  • i luv u adam rock on

  • omg he is so amazing. he sounds like he had a great time this, i can tell when someone is smiling when they talk or sing. plus this is an amazing song.
