Adam Lambert - Starlight - 7-5-09 Portland OR

[Morroblivion98]

Ouch ! my ears !

Instruments : as good as shit

Vocals : if you listen to this in entire you will die with shit in your ears.

Okay, Adam's voice is good, but is not for this song. Listen and compare to Muse :

Adam : Verse is shit and chorus is... the worst thing i've ever heard.

Muse cannot be covered by a sado-masochist gay person.

[GLEEKBERT]

@Morroblivion98 Shut the fuck up he sounds beautiful. and is probably more talented then you'll ever be. And insulting people on the internet so brave. He has thousands of fans that will protect him. So if you said that to a glambert's face you would be in trouble.Muse even gave him a song so i bet they really like him so yeah shut up.

[Sammyv17]

The singing is good, but the horrible instrumental killed it. They tried to copy the original.

[Nilsisdenaam]

Muse will always be better, no matter which other artist sings their songs.

[1lambertfan]

I love Muse and Adam Lambert!!!!

[lalalalaMUSE]

Lambert,don't bother to do a cover for this song,no one in this planet can sing as good as Matt Bellamy.

[missymetz]

worst performance ever to theatrical

[missymuseXD]

Adam Lambert cannot touch Matt Bellamy's voice AT ALL! He is SO off pitch on this song! Matt Bellamy > Adam Lambert

[234JUDI]

His vocals are out of this world !! Love ,love love this song !

[1lambertfan]

I think Adam sang the song very well. I did not know who Muse was til I heard this on the idols live tour. I like Muse now. Yeah I am not a true Muse fan but they are very good. So thanks to Adam for introducing me to a great band.

[koikazu95]

its a completely a different feeling. :) love both of them though

[cpriicorn]

You can't compare Matt to Adam. For one, Adam doesn't play guitar while singing. For another, their vocal styles are completely different.

[OfficialNickNakama]

lol butt hurt Muse fans. I'm a huge fan of Muse, but this was by no means terrible and horrific as you people describe it.

[anastasiavanite]

He is soooooooooooooo much better than Muse!

[Tatypom]

Sorry but that is a total disaster! I'm not a Lambert hater and that is horrible! He should stick to what he does best instead of destroying such a great song!!

[42bettyb]

@Tatypom Adam is singing this as an homage to Muse, one of his favorite bands..it it amazing...anything Adam Lambert sings is amazing..his voice is incomparable..

[Isaa0bella]

Adam and Matt both are amazing. I'm a glambert and a muser, yay \o/

[ShadowsSpawn]

Oh dear god... Even Megadeath could do a better cover of this song.

[catlover00711]

I guess in this verson you can here the singer more but for me it lacks Matt's amazing guitar effects. So i think Muse's original is better.

[ChibiCheeks101]

@catlover00711 He wasn't trying to BE better than MUSE. He loves them!

[paterson441]

Poor Muse. Their song has been butchered

[ChibiCheeks101]

@paterson441 Mathew Bellamy obviously disagree's!

[Ghostkill90]

this really is bad compared to muse

[bloodriver3lol]

but also noted

im glad this guy doesnt lip sync like beiber

id rather this shit on the radio than beiber

what the fuck happened to music

[bloodriver3lol]

i want to kill myself after seeing this.....

this has fucked my liking of muse

[xXxDisenchanted7xXx]

people just shouldn't be allowed to cover muse songs. they just can't match matt at all.

[innawein1]

I still love this version not less than the original sang by "muse" tks to u Adam Lambert i love to hear it again and again u brought it to life" again" i do enjoy it tks love ur version not less then the original good job Adam!

[SmilingCWeenSorrow]

@Groundhoglovesadam If they sounded the same, it wasn't worth it for Adam to be listened. This is a cover, not a copy.

[sepidehtje]

I love Adam cause he truly loves Muse.

[sabri0406]

Oh my god. What is this shit? Starlight is the BEST SONG EVER, and he destroys. No, is not good. Adam Lambert destroy the best group ever. IL N'EST PAS BON BARK BARK BARK. Ne comparer pas ce gars à Muse, It's just impossible.

[hamsterbaby98]

@sabri0406 Hey!! You typed in French too xD Hah, sorry it's just that i'm learning French and I thought it was cool that you um..you know :)

[TheSaaaaraaaa]

i love it when he says MUSE, like they are gods. which they are, on second thought.

my wonderful muse :)

[xDGreeny]

Adam Lambert cannot prefrom this Song. Matthew Bellamy sings his songs with soul, Adam Lambert doesn't.

Also, His voice just doesn't suit this kind of music. Prehaphs Pop because that takes no Talent : )

[bngirl9111968]

I would never know MUSE if it were not for Adam. As soon as he said Muse was his fav, I went online to check out their songs. I love Adam, now I love Muse too !

[hhhbear]

Felt like i was being stabbed in the heart continuously for 3:53 sec. lol. Sorry Adam, that's what i call an EPIC FAIL! :-( . . . If anyone disagrees with me, at least compare this disaster vid to any of MUSE's live versions of this song. (I recommend HAARP, live at Wembley). Adam should stick to his pop music, he's not too bad at that. :-)

[Tatypom]

@hhhbear Totally agree with you!!!

[ingrid42billion]

very amazing. adam is such a talented singer and he made this his own and pulled it off well. i too am a fan of muse's but adam is definitely fabulous.

[rmtmiller]

He is the best !

[Druidly]

Love Muse... Love Adam more ;) Haha went to the concert in Portland Maine and it was "wicked" (mainer thing) xD

[rainiernew]

The irony here is that Matt would disagree with all these vile Muse "fans" posting their ignorant comments here. Adam sounds amazing singing this song. He made it his own and that's the important thing with a cover.

[234JUDI]

Spectacular vocals !! Love this song !

[RowannaGalbraith]

Muse is too amazing for Adam...but he is quite good. No one can ever ever beat Muse though, Iove them so much! but adam has awesome vocals and good taste in music hehehe

[Musewow1]

No es lo mismo... escuchar al grandioso MATT BELLAMY que escuchar a la niña que es Adam Lambert :( no tiene una voz fea.. pero no es maravillosa!! ... I hate adam lambert's voice :S!!!!

[Glambertx96]

i dont get what your guys' problem is. keep your comments to yourself if you dont like adam. i think he is 93486532948395761231033959 times better than muse<3

[Musewow1]

@Glambertx96 you are crazy!! :P

[pooglie72]

Why? Why would you ever want to cover an already brilliant and perfect song????? This is a dreadful effort. Sorry, Adam. I'm a fan of yours but you should have left this one well alone.

[trousien]

MUSE is far too beyond Adam Lambert for him to try to cover

[kyu300]

Horrible

[MikoSonya]

sorry, although I am Adam Lambert's fan, I still prefer Muse to sing this song. Muse is the best!!!!!!!I think Adam's vocal is not suitable with this song. His vocal is bit harsh with this song. He needs to sing with full of passion (probably bcoz he is not the song writer of this song, that why he can't)....

[rhxt1002]

Wow this sucks REAL hard. I love Muse, and i love Adam's voice. But he keeps fucking up: from shortening de the parts without vocals, to the cheesy vibrato. He is a great singer, but he fucked the song up.

[LeBaggeLady]

I find it sad because I find Adam's performance and the fact that he admires Muse so much actually made me more aware of Muse and I really like them, just more of an Adam fan. These hateful comments from Muse fans actually impact negatively on Muse.

[jazzy19001]

Adam is much better - in the live Wembley version Mattt makes a really loud sucking sound while he is taking a deep breath every few seconds - it is very annoying. Not a nice sound. Sounds like a lung condition or something. eeck.. You can hear Adam do it a bit - but he is a much better singer with much better breathe control.

[chubbyxDD]

@jazzy19001 it's called 'style'

this guy sings... nice, ok

but Matt and him, are different

I don't like Adam's starlight

it sounds like every pop singer in the world...

[swedenxtrem]

Even though I like the original a bit more... this was actually very good. To my surprise actually, I've heard it was pretty bad. But this was really good.

[dewdropsnsnowflakes]

Adam does this song better than the writers; Muse. Great job!

[BTWKillTheBees]

WHY ADAM, WHY? You just can't do Muse without having the amazing sound of Muse. >:( I like Adam's voice but the band sucks at playing Muse and this just is a total fail at playing Starlight... :( 

[Anifreak561]

FREAKIN AMAZING!!!!!

[questrelm]

I wish he would do a cover of this for his next album :)

Simply amazing.

[chubbyxDD]

who's Adam Lambert?

[PurpleNightfall]

@chubbyxDD A man

[killerkite333]

its nice to hear someone mention "Black Holes and Revelations" :))

[antisadism]

I like Muse but one thing I don't like is that they make so much good music that they're fans always expect too much, they're musicial expectations Sky rocket because of Muse, like neutron star collison is one of the greatest songs ive heard, alot better than kesha, Justin Bieber, rap music but people don't like a song with such high class, you see what I mean, Muse fan's musical expectations are too high. Im just saying.

[jmserbia]

@antisadism True :-) After listening to Muse, everything else sounds so stupid and shallow.Once you start, there's no way back, and I'm lovin' it :-)

[snbrdgtr4848]

@antisadism YOU'RE A FUCKING DUMB ASS. WOW.

[antisadism]

@snbrdgtr4848 Get off the internet kid, you don't know what you're talking about.

[snbrdgtr4848]

@antisadism Muse is one of the most amazing bands that has ever existed. Congrats on finally using the right form of "you're".

[antisadism]

@snbrdgtr4848 Yeah so what? Did I insult Muse in any way by saying that their music is so good that their fans will have higher expectations? Because in case you don't understand, thats supposed to be a compliment to Muse.

[LewisMasseyBrah]

I'm a major Muse fan, but I acctually liked this.

He made it his own song, and he has a brilliant voice.

Hope he does well :)

[FaXeKonDi2Flasken]

@LewisMasseyBrah I no, his voice is pretty medicore. his falsetto is near nonexistent and he runs out of air in the long 'notes'.

[MsSharon1031]

@FaXeKonDi2Flasken You're in denial. Adam outsings Matt in this song. Btw Adam's range is higher than Matt's.

[estherdgr]

@MsSharon1031 Excuse me? Ever heard Micro Cuts by Muse?

[agordon1994]

i am a huge muse fan and i think he did an ok job...... vocaly wise........ he just changed the genre from prog rock to pop..... which i dont like.

and i dont know if its just me or not but he seems a little bit to cocky on stage....

[yourdailycocktail]

his voice is awsome but I think that for this song he over did it a bit too much.

it's ok, but could have been better.

[DdragonPT]

I must say I love adam lambert, but this song doesnt suit him... =X

[zlatickoxt]

Most people here say that this version sucks. I'm a fan of Muse and not a big fan of Adam but think that this video it's pretty good.

[midnightpoison4u]

@zlatickoxt hehe, I totally agree with you ;P

it's really not bad...not bad at all...he did not change it too much and his voice fits the song...well, it's an "adamish" version...I like the ending especially!! :)

[zlatickoxt]

@zlatickoxt *is instead of it's :)

[MUSE703]

No. Just No.

Muse is waaaaaayy better. Adam just killed the song.

[applethief326]

it is funny how muse fans go 2 every versions of adam lambert's starlight 2 trash adam, but matt bellamy seems 2 disagree with you, he even gave a song to adam. XD

if you don't like it, don't watch it, don't make muse look bad. lol

[angelicharp]

I agree that this is not his best performance of starlight. I think adam's acoustic version is better than this one.

[claireeadie]

does anyone have the like to the muse interview?

[temptingsweety]

he sings this way better than muse! i love him singing this song

[billahbob]

@temptingsweety Are you dropped behind a truck? It sounds awful compared to Muse.. First of all.. the keyboard at the start.. sounds like shit. And Matt's (Lead singer of Muse) Voice sounds so much better.. Adam Lambert ruined this song.. M use <3

[temptingsweety]

@billahbob what did you do with your ears? what a voice and btw the keyboard sounds wonderful. I think adam did not ruined this song

[billahbob]

Probly because im a Muse fan. And this sounds so diffrent then muse's version. But i still think it sounds awful. :D

[kw1960able]

MATT: Yeah, I saw a clip of that on YouTube, and I thought it was a nice compliment, really. It's always nice when someone covers your music. It's one of the ultimate compliments as a writer and also as a band, that someone else would want to adopt one of your songs. It was cool, you know. An interesting version..

[probablytoolate]

ah hes to high....killing...muse..must push stop.

[pumpkinhead540]

He's got some good falsetto, but I think he was a bit too high :\

[ruvhb]

makes it obvious how talented Matt Bellamy really is

[blub147]

this is ridiculous.

no one can cover muse, it will always end up in a mess.

matt's voice is special. ♥

[xonars]

He sounds like hes singing half a step too high or something

[indieGIRL96]

HAHA, chill out Musers. It isn't that bad. Maybe it varies a little from the original, sure. Adam and Muse both rock:)

[V4mPiRezZZ]

I don't know who the f*ck that guy is, but he totally lost it. This is a shame to such a great song. Thumbs up for Matt <3333

[dragonascendente]

Oooooooooh!!! It sounds ridiculous, he must never did a cover of this song, sounds completely bad, out of tune and very "puto" jajajaja... when you make a cover you have to try that it sounds better than the original song, and this not's the case...

When he did the Soaked cover he did it very well, but when you can't do that a cover sounds good you simply must not do it, like this time...

Sorry Lambert, try another song please and never sing this one again...

[eklecticxsoul]

...

I find the irony of Adam Lambert singing the "tits" song hilarious.

That said, I listen to both Adam *and* Muse. Intense lambskanks and intense musers, chill down.

[sharkskings]

worst cover ever

[sharkskings]

like he just butchered it and he does sound like a girl so he needs to just stop

[DELTAfox468]

This bastard freaking killed the song. Seriously, I don't know if I'll ever be able to listen to Starlight in the same way.

[BCarey2293]

@DELTAfox468 I couldn't agree with you more.

[lozbey]

I'm sorry...as much as I appreciate Adam's appreciation of Muse, he sounds like a woman singing it. Close your eyes and see what I mean...Cher maybe.

[Glambert3513]

Adam helped promote Muse. I love Adam singing this version of Starlight.

[openheartbert]

All I know is I get goose bumps when Adam sings it....no goose bumps when Matt sings it just saying....and yes all the idols HAD to sing covers that's nothing new. Please listen to FYE to hear Adam's beautiful voice!!!

[kelsietaylor9]

Don't think these haters are Muse fans just more spewing venom.

[kelsietaylor9]

Love Adam's version on Muse song. Matt liked Adam's version so much he gave "Soaked" to him to record. Must listen to this song. Incredible.

[BowieTheDog1]

well, on one interview with matt and dom, matt says " it was an interesting version of it" with Oh so much irony...

[tight384]

where is this interview? I need to see that.

[glamourizeu1]

yeah, and then he gave adam a song he wrote for him to sing it and put it on his album...he must hate adam.....

[BowieTheDog1]

@glamourizeu1 I never said he hated him...

[BowieTheDog1]

and he didn't write it to adam, he just gave it to him cuz he thought it was a bit "over the top"

[1revaja]

Love Adam's version of this song. Matt's is good too. Both are great singers,I just prefer Adam; he is so much better visually.

[Yekcim8]

@1revaja Good grief, you cannot be serious!

Bellamy doesn't chicken out of the high notes.

[1revaja]

@Yekcim8 What are you talking about? I said Adam was better looking???????

[IncensePeppermints68]

Do these Muse fans know that they worked with Adam on his album? just sayin'

[bloodriver3lol]

@IncensePeppermints68 i highly doubt that, but if that is the truth that would not surprise me given Muse's last album

[heymoondontfall]

i like adam lambert and all but matt sings live better than him...

And matt wasn't on a tv show to make it big...

[xXxTwihardxXx]

matts version is awesome!

and so is adams!

he rocks!

although i was expecting him to make it darker...

overall, both muse's version and adam's was brilliant!!

[megbro]

Hey people, I am not going to moderate comments here, as some people have messaged me to request. I welcome all civilly stated opinions on the video from Adam fans, Muse fans, Idol fans or whoever. If you use a lot of profanity and crude language, I will delete.

[AllthatJazzz1]

Adam's version of this song is brilliant!!  No wonder Muse gave Adam "Soaked" because they obviously admire each other's talents. I love this song and I love both versions....it's all good!

[weezleable]

Adam did nothing but praise Muse ...how dare you ..this is what he gets for supporting them...Great job Adam, nobody sings it better....

[applethief326]

i hope the ppl who trash adam here are not real muse fans, otherwise i'll feel sorry for muse for having such stupid fans.

i like both versions of the songs, and if Matthew Bellamy didn't like adam's interpretation, he wouldn't give "soaked" to Adam for his album.

so muse "fans" pls stop giving muse a bad name.

[OkieGal1955]

Muse fans are so aMUSEing. They can't get enough of Adam's version and just won't admit it. I've never gone to an artists's video just so I can trash them, so Muse fans are pretty scary to me.

[TheCoochiecoo]

great cover. Really shows adams vocal ability. Too bad he destroyed himself with his album.

[CyberSword13]

Jesus people. It's ok to have your personal preferences.

[HeNdRiXIzGoD321]

horribel muse is 111111100000000000000000000000­000000000000000000000000000000­000000000000000x better

[actress4ever12]

ITS AMMMAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA­ZZZZZZIIIIIINNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNGG­GGGGGGGGGGGGGGG HE IS AMAZING ITS AMAZING OMG THIS IS SOOOOOOOOOOO PERFECT I LOOOVVVEEE THE FLOWY NESS AND SPACEYNESS ITS SOO GREAT IM GOING TO FAINT I COULD LISTEN TO THIS ALLLLLLLLL DAY!!!! What a greattttt song!!!!

[pookadot]

being both a Adam and Muse fan, i think Adam's voice is amazing...just not so suitable for this song.

[elsisgek]

congratulations, you've just killed a song

[heartless13]

ADAM ROCKS!His album is fantastic!

[actress4ever12]

Love how all the Muse fans r ganging up on Adam.... Well heres my straightforward(and from an Adam fan) Opinion

MUSE SUX COMPARED TO ADAM:)

Now all u muse fans go Listen to muse if u dont like adam. Adam is amazing that is why i hear him on the radio and not muse.

Ugh this song is amazing Adam gave it sooo much power and epicness. Amazing voice for an amazing person:))) MArk me down see if i care, bet it ill be all the Muse fans that mark me down rofl I BET IT

[MuseofCydonia09]

Tell me how Muse suck.

As i see it -

They write their own songs, play their own instruments, have a massive fan base, best live band in the world, one of the best bands in the world, have number 1 albums, sold out arenas and stadiums around the world and they didn't appear on some shit manufactured show to get into the music industry.

I know Adam Lambert is a Muse fan, but he has destroyed an amazing song.

Muse own Adam lambert!!

[RoRoTheGreat96]

O.O Good Lord. I'd better go before I break the computer...

[ilblackfire]

God his voice is terrible.

Ruined an awesome song

[NickXDDX]

what HAS he done to the key????? he has ruined this song...

[berimbalista]

how can all those shitty adam lambert fans (who would become fan of anything with the american idol label) even dare to compare him to Matt Bellamy?? Matt, along with his band, is an outstanding sonwriter, composer, and guitar and piano performer, not to mention his awesome voice. I admit Lambert has a great voice, but he's just a voice, and nothing else.

[moonkittenlunasky]

he does a good job singing it, but i hope he doesnt record it cuz its just like a good karaoke type of thing

[xentafy]

No he isn't recording it. There is a song called Soaked on Adam's album which was written by Muse but never recorded on one of their albums and they gave it to Adam. That said, people redo songs written by others all the time, so I am not sure how that is karaokoe. Sinatra rarely wrote his own and Muse did a Rat Pack song as well (Feeling Good)..

[mrcosma]

@xentafy but muse made it original while adam just copied muses' version

[xentafy]

That's fine. Adam was doing the Idol tour and they had to do covers at that time. Still love it!! Muse is fantastic as well. Not a contest here.

[littlegurlini]

Ugh. I just looked up the Muse version and I didn't like it at all. My opinion might be different though if I didn't have this to compare it to.

[persica36]

adamlambert2009 is a poser

[xentafy]

Well not only did Muse let Adam do this song but they gave him one of their songs for his new album. "Soaked" will be recorded by Adam and is written by Muse. From what I have heard it is freak'n awesome. So you don't like this - doesn't mean Adam isn't kick ass good!! Matt must have thought so or he wouldn't have let him have Soaked.

[Jimtophius]

Soaked was one of the songs that matt didnt want to put on the album (i dunno why cuz its a pretty good song) but dunno how adam got round to getting it, matt must have thought he was good in some kind of way

[AdagioDan11]

Killed a good song. He made is sound so..."feminine". Terrible rendition.

[clzy1289]

Adam is a great singer.. Period.

[bejapol]

he is 1000x better than Muse. Matt's voice doesn't have depth as Adam's does

[actress4ever12]

I soooooooo agree with u!

[omgwtfbbqroflsauce]

he's alright, but he makes it sound like he craves a duet with hannah montana

[musefreak122]

jeez back up band needs practice and adam jeez you cant match matt

[kylegetson]

This doesn't work... Adam is a talented singer, but he cannot match Matt's intensity. The back up band isn't anywhere near the level of Muse (obvious statement, I know). I think Soaked will be more appropriate for Adam's voice.

[shaddywick216]

No body can do a Muse song justice. He shouldn't have even tried.. Thanks for butchering Starlight, Adam Lambert.

[killerkite333]

he doesnt give justice to one of my fave song.. cant even reach matt bellamy's epicness when singing this song, + kiddie sounds,

if im g0nna rate this performance,

its a b0o - 1/10

[Nongamblerpokerfan]

....eh ....Lambert ruined Starlight...well his singing just doesn't suit it. His voice sucks compared to Matthew Bellamy's.......maybe it'll be better for Soaked....

[xentafy]

Hey all you nay sayers. Muse just gave Adam Lambert one of their songs (not on their albums) that will be on his new CD. They gave it to him because they think it fits him, so yeah!!! Adam has written on 4 of the songs on the CD and half the music industry has collaborated with him for the rest. It is going to be an awesome CD!!

[josephXbliss]

only 4 writtne by him? lol. how pathetic.

[xentafy]

Oh really. If you recorded 28 songs and picked 12 and had only written 4 of them for your first album you think you would feel pathetic? And the fact that Muse gave you one and some the biggest producers in the business have worked with you, would that be pathetic feeling as well. Love Muse, Love Adam!! Give Adam's CD a listen and then decide. Peace!!!

[adamlambert2009]

hi everyone! thanks for all your love and support. I love you all.

[dmhiggs]

he cant get high enough for the chorus lol

[Naughtrish]

Ack.
