Adam Lambert- I Can't Make You Love Me

[FrikShowOhNo]

record it adam. record it dammit!!

[3ku1]

Its weird its like u feel his pain, u know him personally, from this to superstardom

[renogirl91]

You have too really feel love to deliver this song is right. You did to lay it out their and take the chance of getting hurt. Love the way Adam shares his emotion in this performance.

[HeyyItsFrances]

Oh Adam. We already love you ♥

This gives me chills every single time, even if it isn't amazing quality - just wow. :]

How was he not discovered before American Idol? God, whoever turned down must have been deaf. -.-

I wish I had known about him before he became famous - it would have been amazing to have been to a show like this.♥

[lourdesstone]

the audience were so attentive, another side of adam brilliant performance.

[Emkate1997]

Adam you obviously can make my love you and many others do too ;) I'm friggin obsessed with you!!!!!!!! ( oh and I do know that he is talking about someone else......).

[RubyLovesTomDonnelly]

he does this song soo well~~~

this is one of my heartbreak songs~~~

wonderful thanks for sharing~~~

[halag]

@sonnie1979 What a ridiculous comment. Do the lyrics seem like they are "just for gays" to you? Don't straight people have heart-breaks? The song has been recorded by Bon Iver, Will Downing, Prince, Kevin Mahogany, Bonnie Tyler, Mary Coughlan, Kenny Rogers, Nancy Wilson, Kimberley Locke, Patti Labelle, Sophie Milman, Boyz II Men, Tank, Nelson Rangell, Candy Dulfer, Arnee Hidalgo, Sarah Bettens, Piotr Żaczek featuring Kuba Badach, Jill Johnson,[13] Heather Peace, Adele, - all gay I take it.

[rl549]

You have to really be a lover on the inside to be able to deliver a song this way.

[hellomammaa]

this guy takes my breath away! gosh, i love his vocal power!

[SaraDiva001]

It will need to have better music though. The song is almost unrecognizable without the words.

[SaraDiva001]

This is one of my favorite songs ever! I wish he would do a version I could buy... =.{

[kezie666666]

love adam hes amazing rock on adam xx

[atrickpay11]

highdiver06: i think you mean New Years Eve 2008, right?

[kevinsmithism]

please.............., this arrangement blows, wait hang on a sec...yep, it blows, hes a great singer, and even sings great here, but the arrangement blows...wait let me check.......yep, it blows

[halag]

@kevinsmithism I agree. It's too slow and the piano is awful and off-key too often. It's a wonder Adam could sing at all (let alone so brilliantly) with that racket going on. Sorry - whoever the pianist is might be fantastic. Maybe the piano needed tuning ;)

[3ku1]

@halag its probably just a testiment to adams vocal ability, the guy on the piano is actually a music legend go figure

[flaggirl21]

how was he here on new years and in new york performing at gridlock with his band?

[blubberrobnob]

This was the year before Gridlock. Look at the date this was posted :)

We will probably never see Adam perform as low key as this again.

[carmavox]

@flaggirl21 that was last year love. 2009!

[ahfaxthis]

He NEEDS to stop singing the songs of others and find his own hits....his first CD, well it fell flat - so sad.

[tokoshie]

It didn't fall flat *eyeroll* It sold gold in two months. Considering that he's a new artist and the current shape of the music industry, it's done pretty well.

[musiclover2696]

who doesnt love adam?? everybody does already if they don't then they don't know the meaning of music!!! love u adam!!!♥♥

[TheJahLene]

Adam and Alli should just do a duet of this one! Wahh..

[adamlamberthottness]

Adam. Everyone already loves you. Duh! I <3 Adam!!!! <3333333333333333333333333333

[mrshaileylambert]

beautiful.

adam i love you.

[dawnjoye]

I wish Adam had done this instead of Allison. One of my favorite all time songs...

[csereix]

Such vocal commitment. Can you hear the pathos...the tears in his amazing voice? Perfection.

[purpletycoon]

omg! that mans voice is soo beautiful(:<3

[hiphopgirl16153]

then allison sang this song on american idol! ILOVEADAMLAMBERT!

[csereix]

Adam....you don't have to "MAKE" us love you. Millions of us already do!

[AdamLova1877]

god he still melts my heart in a low quality, long distace recording... now thats talent!! haha luvs ya Adam!

[Pink1965Tara]

Total love...xoxox Adam

[csereix]

highdiver06 thx so much for posting this. Adam's voice is simply gorgeous.

[lisette28]

Adam..vous etes beau very gentle an velvet vocals..feel toi pain..perhaps have been thru broken hearte..blessings..tears flow here!

J'adore toi amie Lisettexoxo

[csereix]

ECLLPLPI...He's commited to the Idol Tour, for now. But, A.I. wants (and knows) Adam will sell tickets. I'm looking for solo tours to follow, soon....after the A.I. commitment.

[ECLLPLP1]

I have shivers up my spine listening to this amazing talent. The AI road tour will be in Atlanta tonight, but I can't deal with hearing the others...does anyone know about Adam's solo tour dates?

[csereix]

smooth as silk.....

[csereix]

What a joy to be alive at this time....to see a super-star in the making....Adam....the world awaits!

[meredithNYC1]

that voice is just supernatural. . . everything this boy sings is perfection.

[BeBop060]

I can't decide which version I like better... Adam, or Allison... aaaaah!

[xoiLoveAdamLambertxo]

BOTH AMAZING!

[ardwhiz]

BRAVO!!!!!

[csereix]

perfection personified....

[mioko32]

I LOVE YOU, ADAM!!!!!!!!!!

[queenofrumania]

Pierces your heart - unbelievably beautiful.

[themickeyclaireshow]

no adam you cant make me love you. i fell in love with you on my own. i love you. forever and always. i love you.

[yogirl655]

whoa CHILLSSSS

[TheKayleigh6]

he is absolutly unbelievable. he has the best voice i have every heard. he should have one i dont understand how someone so plain as kris allan wins, and someone with raw and sick talent loses to him. its because of all the teenboopers. adam ur insane.

[Bostongirl2003]

I am a fan of both Kris and Adam, and like they both said countless times, they have different appeal. Adam has a great range, and an over-the-top style. Kris is low-key and sincere. They are both talented.

[csereix]

Ohhhhh, the emotion. Obviously, his heart has been broken. Only those who have been twarted by love could know the exquisite agony.... Another breathtakingly beautiful song, Adam!

[ogjhcheer09]

Adam Lambert.......wow.

hes an amazing singer.

nuff said.

[alphaguy]

i dont get what the hate for kris is.. the guy's freakin amazing too.. both of these guys deserve the win. And honestly both have so much potential and they have the chance to reach it since they both have a recording contracts now...

[deanrdd]

No one hate Kris. One is an extraordinary artist and the other is an average wedding singer. Kris is straight and Christian. Even the Crystal Cathedral, the greatest fundy monument in the US was designed by a gay man who wasn't allowed to enter once finished. Gays achievements are way beyond their meager numbers. Name fundy achievements. See, it's the fundys who hate.

[cherrypiezeen]

he is sooo good he will totally be on the radio and i would totaly go to a concert for him instead of kris allen when kris sing it makes me fall asleep so i wouldn't want to pay money just to fall asleep at a concert instead i would go to adams

[JessiNoel29]

I love this song

[xostellabellaox]

im glad he didnt win.

this way hes not stuck with the no boundaries song!!!!! and isnt stuck with the American Idol recording contract! hes gonna be way more successful and is way more talented then kris allen.... the only thing that makes me mad about him losing is that Kris can say that he beat adam but america knows adam is wayyyyyy better

I LOVE ADAM!! GLAMBERT FOR LIFE!

[cullengal102]

Wel..if u go on itunes...Adam stilll got to sing it

[chertube26]

he doesn't get to have is picture up on the audition room back drop. BOOOOoooo :(

[cdogslovergirl1]

hey cuz. be the star i know u are and always have been. american idol wasn't ready. best of luck muah luv u

[DancerLivingHerDream]

I love him, he's amazing.

He deserved to win.

He's worked so hard for it.

[adamlambertisahero]

adam shudve freakin won

[sallyugly]

i love you Adam u r d best

[ChatangoLambertFan]

this is gorgeous

[highdiver06]

lol, is this really Adam?

[venomscorpion]

nope, that's a poser. Neil Lambert said in his blog that guy with youtube ID adamlambert2009 is not the real Adam

[joytombelle]

Adam, I voted as much as possible. So sorry about the result. We all know you are the superior singer/performer. It's probably the demographics of that show. YOU will be big. Can't wait for your concert, record, etc.  Get busy and keep us posted!

[SazerJiras]

is he realy...

[mcflyitsapartoflife]

my friend knows the owner of Mark's and was there that night and sat at the same table as Adam and now their friends =)

[highdiver06]

Umm..well I must have met your friend cause I sat at that table too! Me and Adam are friends because of that night too! I just talked to Adam last Tuesday. Can't wait for him to come to Kansas City!

[neandertalheroo]

@highdiver06 I'm not jealous.. not jeaolus.. not jeaolus.. not at all!!! ;P

[noelpickett]

@highdiver06 . Did he ever make it to KANSAS ??

[artgirl95]

omfg. SO LUCKY! i wanna be friends with adam ): I LOVE ADAM!

[csereix]

Adam...It's hard to believe that you were tucked away and undiscovered in west Hollywood for so many years. Good luck! I believe you are headed for international stardom.

[suziemclean]

I think Mad World is a better choice for Adam.

[IaMaEsKiMo123]

luv it adam is amazing no matter wat he does. every girl wants to sing this song to him

[Dray86LoveU]

OMG ....

you can make us all love you ADAM

in israel and the globe

[jazzy19001]

Allison already sang it on Idol - (it really pissed me off)

[codyrocksmysocks08]

i hope he sings this idol!

[4evfaithless]

This man is incredible and he has already won!

[mayyourtruthbetold]

We can't get complacent with Adam winning. I feel he won AI in my heart, and I plan to do my part to make that happen.

[Ne208]

hes got incredible vocals. can wait i want his album now.

[shayshay55555]

I LOVE ADAM, gosh all the other American Idol contestants bore me to tears

[jonasbrothers4ever89]

I LOVE THIS ONE!

[Brewsie1]

FANTASTIC!!

[pinkindia]

a brillant talent OMG....

[nomadicbrignacs]

Adam is PERFECT just the way he is!!!

PLEASE remember to VOTE tomorrow---2 full hours ONLY for Adam!!!

[2029cesi]

I don't think Adam is over the top at all. He is an entertainer which is what it's all about in music these days. Awesome voice and awesome stage presence. This guy has it all and I would definitely go to one of his concerts. He would put on quite a show.

[LoloTaboto]

Wrong. Wrong. WRONG. He does what he wants to do... which is be outrageous and dress the way he does. That's just his personality,. If he was over the top, he'd be off American Idol by now.

[wcduke]

He's talented but oftentimes his singing is self-indulgent, ostentatious, and completely over the top. There's a lot to be said for subtlety.

[tomanator7]

How about his understated performance of "Mad World?'

It was subtle, controlled and beautifully delivered...Adam has a gift and I'm glad he's sharing it.

[wcduke]

You have the right to your opinion. :)

[forgetregret12]

LMAO! You can't make me love you, LOL

[dlriscute]

Adam, so many utube videos have exceeded comments so I want to send you this message. Good luck. I love your singing. You are like Ted Neeley with your performances. You make us feel....Your parents are so blessed to have you as a son. :)

[AdamFanat49]

He feels so much and makes me feel too. I thinks that is I think he's so amazing. Well that and the gorgeous voice, incredible looks, all around nice guy, amazing performer, oozing sex appeal. I could go on and on. Love Adam.

[leonaestep2000]

Adam is <3

[bbailey6]

Adam is not just the next american idol, but he is THE American Idol, he is the most amazing artist i have seen in a long time. He is easily commercial and can sell a lot of albums, but also has something special that will translate to all different types of people

[lovinjonasbros]

i ilke how he would do anyhting to get a job and to move towards the top! but he is so beyond this and i know he can acieve his dreams.... he just that kind of guy...-love worlds biggest crtic...

[shinacake]

1:40!!!

[jbenson000]

So freakin good...he is ridiculous!

[Pink1965Tara]

Adam! I've loved you since your first audition! Thanks so much for coming into our lives. You are such a gift. XO

[anherji]

i think he has done better on idol so far than that song...

[swazimac]

OMG!! You are absolutely amazing and stunning. Keep doing your thing.  Can't wait to watch you become famous.

[kuddyd]

What an amazing talent! Can't wait to hear more from Adam in the future. And, wow, is he gorgeous!

[highdiver06]

There, I fixed it. I wasn't sure what to call it considering it was after midnight when he performed.

[ThisIsMeThatYou]

I don't get the title of this video ! New Year's Eve 2009 has not happened yet ! Is this a video sent back in time?

[thelmerfud]

The guy can freakin sing!!! He is the best singer this year on Idol but unfortuantely his alternative rock style will turn off the american idol masses at the end just like Chris Daughtry did. But he will kick butt when his album comes out next year

[shinacake]

that's why they added the little save option thing hahaha

[magicmoment]

I think that Adam is beyond all this now. He has an incredible instrument, singing all kinds of genres. He can put out any kind of album and make a fortune. Listen to him sing in the opera Broadway type of genre. Josh Groban even has competition now. Adam IS the next American Idol.. he is awesome. It doesn't matter about anything else...it's all about the VOICE.

[CheezInspector]

Adam I can tell you're influenced by Jeff Buckley. It's most apparent when you cover 'Ring of Fire'.

[b61mp]

i wish i could vote for adam but i'm in a different country. canada loves you, adam. you rock!!!

[b61mp]

i feel that adam should get millions of votes more than the next best singer on idol. i think he should win it by a landslide but i doubt if it will happen and i think adam knows this too. it's too much of a bubble gum competition for totally unique performers like adam. it doesn't matter if he wins idol, he will have more fans than anyone else on the show no matter where he places in the top 11. he's a total star that will keep rising

[b61mp]

oh my god!! his version of Ring of Fire on tonight's idol was the most awesome song ever sung on idol and i've watched every episode since kelly clarkson. adam is too good for this show. they aren't capable of understanding his genius. nobody really got it. it was too intense for their karaoke minds

[adamlambert2009]

hi everyone. thanks for all the support and your lovely comments. please keep voting for me. I love you all.

[kk8781]

poser

[jsunfire]

he is so talented.....its shocking

[ShelterTheHomeless]

"I can't make you love me", originally performed by Bonnie Raitt and later redone love by George Michael. Written by: Mike Reid and Allen Shamblin 1991

[mftusa97]

Adam is simply amazing. He is stunning, and his voal abilities are just phenomenal. I can't wait to see him in concert!

[mftusa97]

Adam is amazing and I'm totally a fan! He is going to win American Idol hands down this year! I can't wait to watch him week after week, and then buy his album, and see him in concert! I am so excited about him in so many ways!!!

[143adamlambert]

i love adam lambert and i am proud he got almost 10, 400 views on this vid.:)

mwuah.

go go go adam!

adam is not 07. because he's 0054.

[Driven2lust]

Adam voice is a genuine phenomenon.

I believe his musical journey has just began. I believe he will someday find him self among those very few who have already reached for sky and found themselves among the stars.

Michael Horton

[charlmon]

[LittleCloserBoi]

[highdiver06]

haha, nothing original? are u serious? He is very original..have you not seen any of his other videos?

[cavemandan]

he is ok... prolly a top 12 but not seeing him sell many records if he wins it all... nothing original in his style

[sbabayan85]

except a phenomenal singing voice but i guess thats not much anymore

[LittleCloserBoi]

Yeah. Check out Crawl Thru Fire. It's AMAZING. And quite original...

[spaztastic52]

I know him. I did childrens theatre with him years ago and I have seen him perform many times. He WILL make it all the way. he's got amazing talent! and he's a great performer :) Adam Lambert all the way!!!!

[starparty]

It's about the voice and the talent - and he has plenty of both. Good luck to him on Idol!

[highdiver06]

who cares if he is gay! lol, he isnt going to date anyone from off youtube anyways.

[aznpride1979]

ladies I hope you know that he's....

[bjobbins]

How do you know he is gay? Did he confess to it?

[aznpride1979]
