Adam Lambert (Original Video) Singing Mad World Sydney Marble Bar Hilton 8/3/10

[pepsimom88]

Hottest guy man i'ver ever seen.. and I LOVE to hear him sing. :)

[methanandamide]

I love how he changed the melody at parts, gives the song more of an edge! Awesome job, this is one of the more memorable covers I've seen of this song.

[phamthang90]

creative



[sunaliba]

You just killed the song with your shitty voice !!

[GlambertNZ]

This is fabulous, wish he would have had the time to go into an NZ pub to play !! That sounded really cool. Thanks heaps !!!! Just so sorry it cut out towards the end. Such a shame, thanks again.

[CelesteK]

I wonder what Curt Smith would think about this?

[JuneauXena]

The audio on this cuts out after one second. Would you be able to re-post this? Would love to hear it again. Thanks!

[JuneauXena]

The audio on this cuts out after one second. Would you be able to re-post this? Would love to hear it again. Thanks!

[gab10rocks]

Why is it cut off?!?!? Omg I wanted more!!! His voice is so captivating.... Luxurious....breathtaking.....­unrealistic.....godlike.... *clears throat* sorry I became caught in the moment

[bearhooverpup]

WOW

[MrsEmmaLambert]

omg!! wow!!

[trishe33]

pure genius!

[jesusisbling]

pitiful.......

[mlms92]

great version!!!!

[penb]

I wanted this on his acoustic EP so badly. Best version of this song.

[NguyenSole]

this version's so amazing!!! the best live performance i've seen. Adam's rules!!!

[xGlamourxQueenx]

I was there too. from 9am. but well worth the wait! my friend and I actually got to spend about 5 minutes talking. hes such a nice guy. I even asked him if he was going to tour australia and he said 'yes i hope so' and last week i went to glamnation!! and he kissed me, BEST YEAR EVER!!!

[wesleyis16]

@xGlamourxQueenx Of course he did.

[skateonsurf]

pretty good

[saffire862]

dang it i hate 2:23

[LuvTommyJoe]

@saffire862 I know me too...

[Marmaidena]

GENIUS!!! god,not human. i love him. to. death.thank.you.

I wanna see a full version of this!

[Marmaidena]

GENIUS!!! god,not human. i love him. to. death.thank.you.

[ESPJT]

hes gay? o.O

[Marmaidena]

@ESPJT yeess :D its ok.

[LuvTommyJoe]

@ESPJT It doesn't matter what his sexuality is! Gay or not, he has the most beautiful voice!! And can sing anything with or without music!

[ESPJT]

@LuvTommyJoe hate hes singin, ALOT of songers are Way better than him, and he can sing anything??? No way ! not even close.

he ruined this song...

[LuvTommyJoe]

@ESPJT Ev1 has their own opinion...I honestly think that u may need your ears checked!! He did not ruin this song at all! Tell me what artist out there can do better?? And without being autotuned...or lip syncing? Also, if u don't like his singing, why are u watching these vids?

[ESPJT]

@LuvTommyJoe was listening to the song... which is good.

im not gonna keep arguing about this with a lambert fan.

[mlms92]

@ESPJT don't watch the video if you don't like it... rrh

[sarinalee76]

Man he is totally awesome, can't wait to see him in October in Brisbane, Australia!!!

[Twilight3luver]

I realised that almost everybody who hates him or strongly dislikes him only do that cuz he is gay. all the ppl i know who "dont like him" say that its because hes gay. they say his voice is awsome but because they dont listen to it because its against their religon or whatever. LIKE WTF!?!? belieave what u want but dont hate for who people are

[LuvTommyJoe]

@Twilight3luver It's a hateful world...u & I both know it doesn't matter if he's gay or not. People are stupid!

[infi8nityis]

@Twilight3luver I'll ask them: U listen to his voice or his sex???

[pastordisastor]

LOL. He ruins every song he sings.

[Marmaidena]

@pastordisastor WHAAAT?????

[pastordisastor]

@Marmaidena

Your eyes are obviously blinded by his attractiveness you fail to realize how terrible of a singer he is.

[kvmh824]

@pastordisastor Ummm..... r u def? I'm srry but he is an AMAZING singer luv u need ur ears checked!

[kmarina11]

@pastordisastor are you kidding me???i'm wondering if you can hear??!!!!!!!

[LuvTommyJoe]

@pastordisastor R u a complete idiot?? He has the most Awesome voice~GET UR EARS CHECKED~seriously...I think ur deaf!!

[Marmaidena]

@pastordisastor he is a brilliant singer:D one of the most talented ever.

[lindiefull]

Love his "happy birthday" in this video:)

[Sparda91]

His voice sounds "country" in this. <3

[drowninglessons409]

Love the hand gestures xD

He has such an awesome voice. (:

[jfishfan1000]

Sometimes I wonder how many of us boomers want to listen to music again" 'cos of Adam. He hasn't been off my CD player for months.

[itsthepopeful]

epic.

[NenzLin]

love adam always..

[AkisheB]

Excellent!!

[proudgram61]

He's amazing...I'm not a teeny bopper, but a baby boomer grandma, who knows talent when she sees abd hears it. He should have won last year on AI, but, maybe it was better this way.

[trevkagirl]

He is so perfect !! <3 him :)

[mamacool100]

Adam you are the best there is...love this version too.....anything you sing sounds so good and fresh...

[KiwiGlambert]

I still can't stop watching this

[allisonadamgirl]

oh ok

[supershinhwa]

Even without all the makeup, gilters & glam, he's still one great singer. Just love his voice!!!!!!!

[kateo2006]

Amazing!!

[itsthepopeful]

dude deserves to have all these well respected legends he does as friends n fans...he's awesome.

[allisonadamgirl]

[JMVOX]

@allisonadamgirl In australia, days go before months, so it'll be March 8th, 2010.

[LoveyouAdamLambert]

LOVE IT!

[meredithNYC1]

would kill to see him like this (and to hear the ending!). intimate, improvisational, no big production noise, etc.

[Lan7a]

Cool!!!

[onestarrshine]

OMG>>>. Amazing performance....luv this version....wish u had the whole song...I am so addicted to him....He is so comfortable...I luv him...thks 4 sharing...

[KimmyGibson]

Adam is amazing 'unplugged'!  This is my favorite version of this song!

[MrCollin2010]

I love this..wish the whole thing had been recorded..love it..

[whiskygirl43]

coool!!!!!

[tdvorak2703]

2:05 is simply amazing!! Just can't get enough of that part!!!

[hilltopdub]

fail on the date haha

[IIntermission]

Curt Smith-approved FYI.

He follows Adam on Twitter and loved this version. Lol.

[allisonadamgirl]

standing obation!!!!! as usual lol

[allisonadamgirl]

love this version cant get it outta my head!!!

[IIntermission]

Curt Smith tweeted about this, he loves it.

[ste11astar]

OMFG! I love this version of Mad World. Adam, Monte and LP are amazing artists. <333

Thanks for sharing.

[adamfanem]

LOVE this song and this version is awesome. Adam, Monte and LP doing upbeat acoustic version. Too bad memory went out for the grand ending... But I will take what I can get. THANKS!

[Wizzbeth]

LONG... man... how??? You rock sooooo hard! Love for YOU!!!

[blueambiance]

Oooh love this version, much truer to the original. I hope a video shows up of the entire performance soon. It cuts off just when he is about to belt out the end. *sigh*

[bittercokejjang]

def one of the best cover of madworld sung by anyone ive ever known. love it!!!!!

[loyalamberb]

omgosh

[smeggingnuts]

well truthfully this is the same tempo as the original Tears for Fears version. Thats said FLOVE THIS!!

[lavergne100]

Is there any style of music that this guy can't handle? He even puts twists on OWN music! What a creative, inspirational artist. Imagine knowing him in real life? Gosh. Those lucky few who know him well must treasure him as a friend.

[adamlambertisanangel]

@lavergne100 How could you not treasure him he is more precious than any rare stone ever will be

[MrParra8012]

@lavergne100 mad world is not his song.

[lavergne100]

@MrParra8012 Oh, I'm aware that Mad World isn't Adam's song. I meant that I like how he mixes up the way he sings and performs "his" songs. For example, the acoustic Down the Rabbit Hole is incredible and completely unique each time he sings it. He twists things around the emphasis each time he performs. I love it!

[MrParra8012]

@lavergne100 oh, gotchaa

[cathysidol]

Just amazing , Adam , Monte, and Longineau , great performance!!!

[iluvbeingkraziii]

AMAZING! I still prefer the first version, but I'm so glad he does stuff like this, as long as he still does both vvvvversions!

[zonicko33]

i love this is song

[TheDreeemr]

Just amazing how he comes up with all the different versions of his songs.....never seen anything like it....ONE IS BETTER THAN THE NEXT !!!!

[RENATABW]

true genius

[LoveHeartFeather]

@RENATABW He really is a genius; he's brightening the world of music with his incredible voice :)

[M8SR8S]

ADAM ROCKS!!! What a FANTASTIC twist to the song - would LOVE him to have this version put out .... dayam!!

[thewindycity17]

That was kick ass!!! I sure wish you didn't run out out of memoery.

[supermanfan62]

should of done this version in the finals

[supermanfan62]

should of did this in the finals would of blew kris away

[vickstix]

Hmmm supermanfan62 He DID do Mad World for the Idol Finale. LOL I was there, and it was amazing. UNLESS you mean the acoustic version? I do like it better this way. BUT It's amazing any way he does it. Adam ALWAYS puts his magical spin on EVERYTHING he sings.

[natygonza85]

Someone can tell me why is not Tommy in this tour??? Please!!!!!!

[Enceladus80]

Is there a whole version some where? I love this, one of the best versions I've heard him do!

[Luciik20]

WOW!!!!Adam is amazing!!Good job Adam!I very very like you!!!!!

[kuribudot3]

cool..

[DUNSA1234]

I love this version better than his performance on Idol!!!!!!!! I think if he did sang this version on Idol Simon would have done cartwheels!!!!!

[sweetkiss251]

LOL!! :D

[cranberrymo]

EPIC.

[chula76]

Pure Talent!!!... and... Pure SEXY!!!

[meredithNYC1]

this is my favorite performance of this song. it's amazing. where is the rest????? anyone

[KeePtheFaitH1988]

there is only one problem with this version- it is not complet!! where is the whole song?!?!? OMG!

[Woolton18]

This is a FANTASTIC version... love it...love it

[LoveyouAdamLambert]

I find this version really fully cool!! He can simply sing in everybody version songs. He has well managed this more than only!! One cannot describe at all as well this is... I love him and his voice really totally!! I am crazy, even obsessedly from him...

[mechupoconfresii]

i love u adam,

[smeggingnuts]

Gahhhh this video drives me insane...I WANT THE WHOLE THING......*cry*

[uhgsoisd2]

I dont kno if I already commented here but HOLY SHIT!! This is MY FAVORITE rendition of this song from him--HANDS DOWN!!! WOW. I mean, I do LOVE MW with the slowed-down emotional ballad feel he gave to it on Idol and during tour... and although it doesn't really have the 'haunting" quality about it like it did on AI --this rendition is just... incredible!! I cant believe how much I Freaking LOVE it!!!...N2M, Adam looks absolutely beautiful!!

[Moxy4ever]

Alright, we know this was an industry private party but we see a lot of cameras, does no-one have the full performance? We are dying here......

[funforfinn]

This was so cool, thanks for sharing :)

[nonnamadonna]

Adam turned it on Down Under. Abfab!! THANK YOU ADAM!! :-)

[alurmira]

AWESOME.....just F'N Awesome!!!!

[insomniac19]

This is seriously my favorite current Adam Lambert performance video. I don't even know what it is, the low key vibe or the way they changed up the song but this is AWESOME!

[daccord1]

he's doing all his stuff acoustic it seems now =] haha

I would love to hear whole lotta love acoustic again <3 so amazing

[jujastorm]

thank you for posting

[Corrina247]

His performance is faultless. I think Adam is so incredibly talented and his voice so unique. You go boy!!!

[stkittsperky]

Sister MMW - I didn't know this is your birthday! Adam singing Mad World - what could be better on your YOUR DAY! Much love from your SIA!

[princessshakeitup]

HAPPY BIRTHDAY Sister Mary Mad World! Big Mad Love from Adam and your Sisters

[sistermarymadworld]

Thanks Sisters! Nothing like an Adam video to make me feel younger today. Feeling like every child should . . .

[sumwhut]

why in the gods' names aren't all of these performances being filmed. adam is so amazing live. there is certainly a market for the man. I will give kudos to the smart human who documented and posted this jewel. Yet another take on adam's signature song....never a dull moment with this boi.

[tracingstars4]

Isn't it "MY CAMERA RAN OUT OF MEMORY" rather than "my memory ran out of camera" in your description? :> HAHA. Nevertheles, great vid.

[kvanderwalt]

Damn I can't stop watching this. And I didn't even like Mad World on Idol

[OKclaymate56]

how is he so awesome, ALL the time? this is such a cool version!

[braj10]

Thanks for capturing this awesome perfomance - even part of it. It is epic!

[Itsjoooory]

God i just saw another partial video and it have the epic ending only the sound is so crappy, I'm so sad i don't have this complete song !! Thank you for the video it amazing but why you had to stop filming all of a sudden !!!

[adamsbritbabe]

V☼☼D☼☼

[unforgetable501]

unforgetable501

dont know what to listen to anymore every song is incredible .....but this version of mad world is GENIUS

[werm277]

@unforgetable501 Actually sounds more like the original

[krisleyvetta]

damn it, I love it!!!!

[Amarynthine]

this is so... roadtrippy and western

[msomu2k]

he is mkng us all a jack ass. To that all disagree but me just like the kido of 'Emperor has no clothes'.

[zainomg]

was heapss good.

[SaphireN19]

HOW IS HE SO FIERCE WTF THIS IS AMAZING

[SapphireBlue09]

This tempo is closer to the original Tears for Fears version w/c I much prefer over the Gary Jules cover. So glad Adam finally did it - and of course, as always, he does it so much better. I love him!

[kvanderwalt]

Gorgeous big hands

[moonlitatdawn]

OMG! OMG! OMG!OMG!OMG! *falls off chair*

Okay rabid fangirl moment over. That was amazing! I usually don't comment on videos but I was really into this performance. I think this might be the best version of this song. He can really pull off any version, actually. He's gonna go far this year. I can't wait to see what he's going to do for Voodoo.

Snap!

[cranberrymo]

WHERE'S THE ENDING OMG THIS IS SO NEAT

[blmo54]

On a scale of 1 to 10...this is a 50! Please record this version Adam.

[kcinkcity]

Hey, thanks so much for posting this! It doesn't matter if it's only partial - it's INCREDIBLE! must have been amazing live!

[genepa8]

I really love this guy. This is one of his best performances Too bad it's cut in half.

[GlambertGirl1]

Argh I really wish the full song was posted, and not just part of it...does anyone have the full video??

[ytwatchpagetester]

good

[MimosaDalat11]

there are 3 videos of this performance on utube all cut half way through... what happened to all of you????????????? Arrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrgh

[cordaleme]

Great question!! I wonder what the answer is.

[DominoesTequila]

different people are posting the same video. That's why they are all cut off.

[MimosaDalat11]

Someone else has the other half of this performance? Please post it up!!!! THIS IS FANSTASTIC!!!

Arrrrgh only half .

[unforgetable501]

unforgetable501

again we need a full version of this please someone any one post a FULL VERSION

[VenumduV]

God i hate pop artists but something about this artist makes me wanna get whatever music he's puttin out... Ive sold my soul ):

[heartmindandsoul]

@VenumduV ...it's not the worst crime, Your soul will be okay... ;p /Soaked lyric

[RenieGarland]

yeah!

we need a full version/1

[SweetBillKaulitzz]

me too

y.y

[unforgetable501]

unforgetable 501

please we need a full version !

[dirty06maggot]

this version is closer to the original. love it!

[luvmesumadam2]

please tell me there's a full version out there!!! thanks for posting, but aaaarrrrgghh!! i just love this rendition....

[frnjj]

I'm blessed to have an idol like Adam who is super fun and talented. No performance is the same! Truly entertaining!

[bejapol]

Gosh... I love how he changes it...

WTH... why is it cut off... like that....and why is he singing in a hotel bar... for Christ sake....

[MSRendrag]

It just kills me that he is still putting up with performing in venues where people TALK the whole time he is singing.

[earthlynn]

I agree - but Adam's a true professional - he doesn't let it bother him. How can people not pay him attention defeats me.

[siwlindaa]

OMG, been watching this over and over so many times now, and i'm supposed to be working (i'm at school). Can't stop listening to it, and not to mention, watching the video. He's amazing! too bad I live in shitty Norway.

[My2ndnephew]

Give the Aussies a break, everyone! Don't start international hate now! Geez! Passion is good, but don't get carried away......... thanks for posting this! What an amazing performer! I noticed a lot of talking before he started really jamming and almost no talking right before this cut off.

[CamilleOO3]

LOVE HIM!!!

[nexladE]

Aargh! WTF! Such a brilliant rendition! Was totally jammin until it got cut off! Hope this rendition becomes available on itunes! OMG! He's just the best. So so HOT!

[sculder1]

WTF...how do u stop recording this before the end!? Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaahhhhh­hhhhhhhhh

Mad as hell....in this mad world....

[Buddy8wuddy]

Awesome!

Adam you always entertain us that why we love you!!

[xoLoVeisLiSa]

So perfect, everything. I love his voice when he says "Hello teacher tell me" 

arrgg but seriously the cut off kills me :(

[Aramikah]

OMGOSHHHHHHHHHHHH!!! I appreciate this rendition than the original one. I'm ecstatic!!! GEEEE!!!! His killing me softly with his song!!!! I just wish it was a complete video. LOVE it! LOVE it! LOVE it! Definitely will listen not once but many times. Thanks for sharing. Anyone has the complete vid. ;)

[joabenn77]

OMG this is amazing! Thanks for this. Why don't they do this in the States? And why why why did you only film half his performance? Please tell us you have you got the other half? Or somebody else??

[number8gurl2]

joabenn77 Adam's days of singing in bars in the states are over. He's already paid those dues here! Hilton or not it's still a hotel bar. Adam is going to be an international pop star, not a mall singer. Australia should have appreciated this more by not talking. Also that cut-off is SUCH a major fail!!! Especially w/such a great camera and great view! Why?????????????

[number8gurl2]

Monte and Longineu awesome job! Adam is amazing as always. I'm not at all surprised that he did this because Adam is a true artist and has already proven it time and time again and just keeps on proving it. ON THE OTHER HAND...To whoever made the video how dare you cut it off before he was done!! Here in the states Adam's days of singing in bars are over. We will never be so lucky again! To the b*tches in that bar running their fat mouths...they are not worthy of this amazing performance!

[MsSwwood]

Adafuckingmazing!!!!!!

[ladygagafan9]

Hes amazing with everything he does I don't care what anybody says but he's really talented. Not just with his music but his look's and everything about him :) I hope hes a singer forever and NOT a "one hit wonder"!

[teachluvsbo]

alphi you have an amazing camera. this is fantastic! Adam never fails to make me feel like a puddle of goo when he sings this song. please let me know the crowds reaction when they were done. I hope they exploded with applause for him.

[clestafford]

i like this so much also; the beat is different!

[dirty06maggot]

because it sounds more like the original !!!! !
