  • Hard to believe this was such a relatively short time ago! So much has happened for Adam since then. Go Adam!

  • looove this song

  • If he sang this song on American Idol the same way he just did at Upright Cabaret, then he killed it. Adam is a phenomenal singer, a voice like his appears once every few generations.

  • Dude, that was MY BIRTHDAY! :"( They had a better day then I did. I should have been invited, lol.

  • A lot better when He-Man sings it.

  • MYAHH

  • i love this guy <3

  • 3>

  • Awesome! Love his voice and there was a lot of cheering. I'm happy for the supporting.

  • wow he is so so so talented <3 what a freaking voice he has!

  • @tarraomaster If you listen to the begining he says about the girl he kissed in Wicked that it was not his preference but that it was nice. He's been out since he was 18, people just wanted him to say it publicly.

  • this is the theme song of my life

  • Love it! Love it! Love it! Love it!!!!!!

  • I wanna hear a studio version of this song from Adam.. =D

  • So....... he IS gay. Not that there was any doubt, but this is evidence. Bleh.

  • @terraomastar big deal.

  • @terraomastar lmfao..really? He came out like over a year ago? It was kinda all over the news...

  • @terraomastar He came out when he was 18. LOL. :)

  • hhaha that pianist is totally checking him out

  • who's on his shirt? I WANT it..is it freddie mercury...maybe david bowie?

  • @Poet2916 I think he's David Bowie!! Amazing performance!! Thanks Adam!!

  • @Poet2916 i think its David Bowie, not sure tho :D

  • 10/10

  • Adam did an awesome job on it though =)

  • @ Adamlambert9711, the song is called "What's up" not "What's going on" So before you try and make someone feel dumb, at least know what your talking about lmao. It's originally by Four Non Blondes, look it up and you will see!!! ;)

  • thumbs up if you looked this up on youtube because you knew he would kill it if he sang it ;)

  • hey this song is called whats goin on not whats up. smh....

  • @AdamLambert9711 No, it's called What's Up. It's on their CD "Bigger, Better, Faster, More!".

  • 2:23 his adorable laugh ^.^ and holy crap 2:39

    One hell of a voice.

  • I hate this song.....but DAM he hit this one dead on...PERFECTION as always LOVE YA ADAM!!!

  • I've heard him sing a zillion songs and this is still my fave performance of his. That includes the clumsy camera work, the waitress's arm setting a drink down, the photographer's goofy friends, and the way Adam casually interacts with the audience. The intimate little cabaret setting is magic when you consider that this is a young unknown just minutes away from international superstardom.

  • Que perfección para cantar, dios mio.

  • aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa

  • such RANGE!

  • dude has such RANGE!

  • 2:23 "What's going on? heh" That laugh ^^

  • every time i watch him, i can't help but smile or laugh in amazement

  • ahh... grinning from Ear to Ear! that is what we Love about him! its Love! he Loves his audience! and its a continuum, thanks for post'n the old days!

  • what's the name of this song?

  • @supernunu91 "What's Up" originally done by 4 Non-Blondes

  • @LAwicked2 dude its not whats up its what goin on. shm.......

  • @AdamLambert9711 It is called 'What's Up'..

    Love his Upright cabaret performances!

  • "that's WEAK. I'm not convinced" OMASDFGHJLZXVBMQTWERYOIUP

    GAW I LOVE YOU

  • all time favorite. BRILLIANT!!!

  • no offense but he kind of sounded like a girl

  • @wateves784 nice

  • He has an amazing voice

  • Can't stop replaying this! I love his performance here! :D He looks like he's enjoying himself so much with the song and the mood is completely infectious <3

  • he is..amazing!! :D i love him ;-)

  • How did it take American Idol to get this guy on the radio? He'd been doing theatre for years and nobody realized he was brillant?

  • agreed daminkymonkey

  • i don't understand how there are dislikes on this video. like honestly, WHAT'S NOT TO LOVE!?

  • He gots on a sick ass Ritchie Valenz shirt....R.I.P Ritchie Valenz

  • love the smirk on the pianist's face, he looked so proud of Adam`

  • @spliffanie  its a musician ... there's no way that he doesn't like adam voice...

  • He always makes me smile :))

  • people over there are unresponsive and passive..if i were one of them, i would have jump on Adam immediately!

  • Lucky you, you were there!! I'm jealous!!

  • That riff at 2:37 get me every time!! CRAZY CONTROL!!!!

  • This is one of my favorite performances EVER by Adam. It was so good. It was quiet and loud and he showed off his vocal range. He should sing this at his concerts! By the way: Does everybody know about his tour dvd coming up in March!?

  • @Iloveandroginity yeah. i bet you're talking bout for your entertainment acoustic version. cuz the tour edition was released long time ago. acoustic version will be released on 26 march, if not mistaken. :))

  • This is my dream job... pianist, and a microphone, entertain a crowd. Awesome.

  • Thank you so much for posting this! I really enjoyed it

  • He can sing anything. What can Adam not sing?

  • cute x3

  • Started out slow, but very nice vocals overall. I'd like to see him try some Steelheart. I think he might be able to handle it...

  • @MeMcNeills

    YEAH! He should so sing "I'll never let you go!" That would be the best song to show off his amazing vocal range.

  • This is a whole new different level!!!!

    ILU ADAM <333333

  • This is a whole new different level <33333333

  • Who frickin' cares if he's gay? He's EPIC! And EXTREMELY HOT! Gay guys are normally actually pretty awesome! XD

  • Screaming to the top of his lungs? far from it. yup, that's Adam... that's great dynamics.

  • sexykatie90 HAPPY NEW YEARS

  • like it ! adam lambert ♥ u

  • Dayummmmm

  • I wish I was friends with him!

  • 4:07 Wait for it!

  • Great Adam loved the song and video. Please google American Idol "The Singers Reply" new Christmas release Idol auditions soon. This lovely song is in support of the singers who started out just like you.

  • i wish i was there................

  • is he pointing at the camera 0:38 ?!?!?!?! Omg i would so flip out if he saw me and smiled and pointed! HAHA! <3 u adam!

  • @nyynygnyknyr1 nah!

    i do like her.....but nah!

  • @nyynygnyknyr1 LMFAO what are u smokin and can i have some...

    

  • @nyynygnyknyr1 You are out of your pathetic fucking mind. :./ Sorry.

  • @nyynygnyknyr1 Um...NOT!

  • @nyynygnyknyr1 Oh ok that explains why when Crystal Bowersox and the Adam Lambert concert overlapped dates in Indianapolis Adam Lambert's concert sold out and her's only sold like 10% of their tickets. Ok I see who's better...

  • @nyynygnyknyr1 lol oh yeah

  • I love him soo frigging much! <3

  • i love his screeches!!!! heehee i love how he made the audience sing along!! sooo adorable!

  • "uh uh i aint gonna bend" ahh adam <3

  • his voice was so amazing...

  • @JonathanHoTD um it still is!!!!

  • oh my gosh..adam sounds gr8...

  • Ahh, I just can't get enough of him <33

  • Dearest Adam, It's been awhile since I've said this: Thank you so much for auditioning for AI & working so hard on the show....we would have been so deprived of your amazing talent, personality & of course, those gorgeous vocals had you not gone on that show! And, GlamNation rocks!

  • @kodinfire

    n1 :D

  • ha. so funny. 1.1.09 still sang at Upright Cabaret as a "small" singer. 1.1.10 sang at Gridlock as a STAR with his own band and own songs from debut album. Waiting for what he's gonna do next 1.1.11. It will be great. :D

  • ha. so funny. 1/1/09 still sang at Upright Cabaret as a "small" singer. 1/1/10 sang at Gridlock as a STAR with his own songs from debut album. Hmm, wondering... 1/1/11 where will he sing? :D

  • ha. so funny. 1/1/09 still sang at Upright Cabaret as a "small" singer. 1/1/10 sang at Gridlock as a STAR with his own songs from debut album. Is it great? :D. Hmm, thinking... in 1/1/11 where will he sing at? <3

  • anh ay hat bai nay qua tuyet voi

  • time files... he's a superstar now!

  • He should so record this song ... I Love It <3

  • @recklessythinking TOTALLY agree!

  • my goodness he is so talented <3

  • Woops. Looks like 58 people missed the like button.

  • @Zoogo3 lol

  • @Zoogo3 Lol indeed!

  • love ya : D

  • Super performance! Adam you are a star.

  • That boy can sing...

  • he's a fantastic singer.

  • really love how he sung this song so natural <333

  • amazingggg! I love how he is trying to make all the people sing along with him...like as if they could keep up with him =]

  • Pink also has an amazing version of this song - wouldn't a duet with her and Adam be great?

  • That was savage!!!!!

  • He's got some crazy vocals..What an amazing singer. See how high he goes at 1.46....damn.

  • what a totally amazing voice this man has. i love the way he performs as well. rock god or cabaret, he's awesome through and through.

  • I love how he changed 25 to 26. He was 26 at the time. "26 years and my life is still trying to get up that great big hill of hope..."

    So poignant years later.

  • Why do 58 people dislike this. You need to grow souls.

  • @42TheCoolCat

    It's impossible, they're mindless gay bashing zombies xD

  • Anyone see Crystal Bowersox perform this on the Tonight Show. It was amazing. So is Adam's. They should duet on this song, my two all time favorite Idol contestants. It would rock so hard. I love Adam and I'm seeing him live tomorrow night in CT. That's What's Up.

  • That's really amazingly sung.

  • I am soooo glad that Upright didn't pay him so well that he didn't consider other outlets. But by the time this was recorded, he was already in the Idol funnel...so happy for all of us, mostly him, that it worked out. He certainly knows how to work an audience, which, along with his voice, is a major reason for his success. Other Idols had to learn...he had it going in.

  • Gay's voice always has a tingle sound which is cool!

  • ILHSFM <3

  • Love him!!!...he did this song sooooooooooooooooooo well

  • fantastic. over and over! :)

  • I would switch genders and be gay for this man. Seriously.

  • @grapelipgloss101 HAHAHAHAHAH IF I HAVE A SHOT, SO DO I... i mean WHO DOESEN'T?!

  • He is pointing at me! I love you too Adam!!! :)

  • I kind've miss Adam like this, unknown to the world & unleashed. He looks really at peace in the video, no cameras or papparazzis and none of that "sexy eyes, sexy smile" stuff. It's nice. He's vulnerable here.

  • Even in a restaurant he has unbelievable stage presence

  • he likes u! HE POINTED TO U R THE 1 TO KISS! lol jk XD im jking but he likes to point :).. my song from the whole world is when your gone ( or is it ill be back?) well it has this thing doing y-y-y-y-y-do Thats my song in WHOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO­OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO­OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOLE WORLDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDD

  • Is this the What's Going On song also performed by Kris Allen on the Idol Finale??

  • THE PAUSE.

    0:07

    <3

  • beautiful voice! and gorgeous

  • i LOVE him!!!!! his voice is sooooo beautiful;)

  • He is talking about Linda Perry (4 Non Bondes). The woman who wrote this song.

  • @cevert9 actually he was talking about eden espinosa, who was performing in Wicked at the Pantages Theatre at the time.

  • Is there any songs Adam can't do?? He's PERFECT, he makes any great song & turns them into awesome songs!! Love him sooooo much!!!

  • THAT IS WHAT'S GOIN' ON!!!!

  • wonderful !! adam, I love it !!

  • BEST. SINGER. EVER.

  • Another IDOL named AMANDA OVERMYER (Season 7 Finalist) sings this same cover song WHAT'S GOING ON at all of her Concerts while on Tour promoting her new Album called SOLIDIFY (itunes). You can see OVERMYER's version also posted on the YOUTUBE ...

  • Wow this is like a master class in how to sing

  • Wow, haven't seen this one before (how did I miss it?)

    Amazing vocals.....

  • Adam has always chosen songs that means s'thing to him like 'A Change is Gonna Come'. One would expect livelier songs since it's NYE yet he picked songs like this n 'I Can't Make U Love Me' n 'Come Home' (which made me cry). He has talked abt loving s'one n not being loved back n I wonder if it was during this time that it happened. It kills me to see him in pain.. Looking at the audience then, I'm really happy he got the success he deserves today. Adam, u r being loved back millions folds now..

  • Nvr ever heard a voice as good as this... His vocals are insane...!

  • I have probably watched this every day for the past year. I love him. Its so weird to think this is pre-American Idol. Its sad he probably won't ever be performing in a smaller, more intimate setting like this again! Hes so famous now that he'll probably only perform in huge venues with thousands of people. (myself being one of them) This rendition of What's Up is phenomenal. Better than the original.

  • THis is deffinately the best cover of this song [in my opinion] aside from Pinks cover. It's so hard to find someone cover this song and do really well with it but he did an outstanding job<3

  • im in love with this man! lol! seriuosly though.. the best vocal ever. he rocks!

  • Oh my goodness what a voice...

  • actually its quite the contrary. your thirties are the peak of your voice capabilities

  • @aquesantonio well some professional vocal coaches say that your voice can continue to improve over age and not deteriorate. You simply have to take care of your voice and your general health both mentally and physically.

  • He sings like Linda!

  • i luv this SOOOO much! Go Adam!X)

  • Wow. I cant belive that this was his work. What a waste of talent.

  • OMFG... he even sings it better than the real version !!

  • Lvu adam lambert ... love this song... i voted adam lamert to win american idol lol

  • i llove his voice smh i cant belive he is 28

  • @JessycaRaqhel

    What do you mean... is it better that he is 28 or worse? I would think that with age, his voice will eventually deteriorate, at least when it comes to his high-notes.

  • his range is absolutely incredible and the way he uses his range to highlight his songs is very very well done. most men cant sing like that with out sounding like retards. very nice

  • Who sing like this? No one can sing " what's going on" at own version and as good. Those people were so lucky to listen Adam's live and having dinner. How much you have to pay for this for today's superstar Adam Lambert.

  • WOW

  • Wow! That was splendid!
