[letmeshinenow]

[Bigmedicen]

fuck this he sucks what a discrace to cash

[daccord1]

oh god.... I'm going back and watching his idol performances and I'm just realizing how freaking incredible this performance was. like.. this is COUNTRY week, and he comes out and does this. amazing =']

[BonnieHalfElven]

Adam's comment re: country week in an interview post season was, "What was I supposed to do? Boot Scootin' Boogie? Maybe an electro dance remix version." ;-)

[scruffie55]

Funny to look back now, and say....wow, Simon was an ass!! Adam's vocals beat out everyone from day one. Now look at him!!! Love you Adam!!! This was fun to watch!

[JoeOldfield]

he suddenly made this song uber sexual :D

[moose6241]

"IT'S CURRENT, IT'S YOUNG, IT'S FRESH, IT'S HOT!!!"

Oh Randy... :D

[RuffDi]

Series 11 American Idol has just started and it made me think of this song with Adam Lambert cos it is the best one ever in the whole friggin series!!!

[Buseski24]

I"ve MET HIM!!!!



[TheEsilla]

@Buseski24 Lucky you :)

[JoGaBoNiTo23RoM]

ofc retarded Simon had to do a retarded comment ...

[JoGaBoNiTo23RoM]

GODLIKE !!

[psychowshiro93]

I just wanna lick my display *o*

[psychowshiro93]

simon don't mess with glamberts !!! xD hahah funny how everyone is still pissed of his comment after 2-3 years xD I love this fanbase xD ..... awww adam *o*

[KaylaGlambert]

This was one of his best performances on American Idol by Adam and one of my many many favorites! ♥

[itstheworldoflyrics]

1 word..

SEXY.

[loveismyair]

This was one of those times I wanted to throw Simon out the window! Adam did such an AWESOME version of this... was a fan then... still a fan now and always! GO ADAM! :D

[TheKarenTenhundfeld]

Small minded people shouldnt be judges because that was BAD ASS!!!!! He is a true artist and the best performance ever! The judges are insane!

[angiedortmann]

show who he is hes nice kind sweet COOL AND REALLY hot yh what do you want from me is one of hes songs my fav 2 and im 16

[Anainthesky1]

Adam is original! he wasn´t afraid of showing who he really is

[Glambert3256]

Mrs. Randy Travis looks so uncomfortable, squirming in her chair. First orgasm maybe?

[sara7784]

omg this is amazing

[prettygreeneyed1]

This is my favorite Idol performance ever. I still think about it even though it was three years ago and have to watch it from time to time. Adam was the best contestant ever to be on this

show. No one can come close to him.

[ridgebriar4106]

The only part of this clip that could be considered “Self Indulgent Rubbish” would be the ridiculous verbal garbage Simon spewed forth in a failed attempt at being clever and shocking in his critique.

In the end, it was Simon and his bloated ego that ended up looking foolishly clueless in his assessment of this truly unique and exceptional performance.

[Ksumm060911]

I SOOOO hate Johnny Cash LOVE THIS

[NZdirectionersSTT]

shut up Kara.

[KroKKaulitz]

The audience must have felt so turned on haha ;) Having an orgasm on live tv must be awkward.

[theamazingfrogy]

oh my god simon. SHUT UP sometimes these judges can be soooo fucking rude and stupid!! i mean- ADAM ROCKS YOUR FUCKING PANTIES SIMON!!!

[mimilulu9501]

Le mec là, Simon Cowel où je sais pas trop quoi, est un incompétant. J'aimerais le voir chanter aussi bien ! (ce qui est bien évidemment impossible.) Cette musique n'est peut-être pas celle que je préfère d'Adam mais il a une telle voix qu'il pourrait chanter au clair de la lune que ça serait extraordinaire ! Alors fuck Simon Cowel

[CrazywayzofJandK]

@mimilulu9501 vous avez raison, mais J'aime Simon. Il est honnête.

[WemoCat]

randy travis is like... "gah..." 0_0

[kma123ify]

i never agreed with simon more than right here exept when he predicted carrie underwood would win season 4 in the top 11

[kcraven25]

i wish simon would have explained why it is "rubbish"

[MyLOLPwny]

what a range

[chongo55]

It's Adam doing his thing fuck Simon.

[tayylaanicole]

My top Adam performance....LOVE IT and the ORIGINAL...

[ac52929]

It seems interesting that the judges responded like that... the creativity of his performance really holds up and this video is great to go back to and re-watch years later.

[Starlababy]

I thought he would win. I love this song by him. I loved it.

[JoseCosta7]

HOW IS IT POSSIBLE THAT HE DIDN'T WIN?! But you know what... it's better that he didn't win 'cause HE PROVED THE WORLD WRONG! He's one of the best singers today, he's making it big AND no one can say he's a product of American Idol, he did it by himself!

[thecreator14pg]

how the hell did he not win

[454crosa]

good God that was sexy as shit

[harryPlover100]

i wish steven tyler was a judge when adam lambert was on american idol. steven would have loved him. lol

[romanjohnston]

Jim Morrison meets Johnny Cash.....wow. One moment of genius way bigger than the entire show.

[ilovemarilynmanso100]

Nine Inch Nails Doing A Country Song! lmaoo

[anjaverheyen]

this is one of my favorites of Adam Lambert untill today!!!! he makes this song magical!!

[iringa77]

The top male performer on Idol hands down!

[moonmist6544]

MMMMM!!!!!! Man, that long note of his at the end..is sooooooooooooooo BEAUTIFUL!!!!

[moonmist6544]

1:07 SMEXY FACE :)

[linxMuppet]

This performance is the GREATEST ever in the history of Idol....or any live TV for that matter...

[antidoteunknown]

Fuck you Simon. so happy you are off the show.

[Lunchboxlandlol]

Gayyy.

[jet0ley0playn]

@Lunchboxlandlol So what ?

[Lunchboxlandlol]

@jet0ley0playn What what the butt.

[DeltaKilo3]

I want that jacket.

[stargirl1592]

i guess adam should be thinking (after listening to simon's comment): fuck u, everyone loves me! xD

[Shaenova1]

oh myy god WHAT A VOICE,wow!!

[yazziwishbone]

I keep coming back to this performance. I am still obsessed with it today as well.  This and the Tracks of My Tears were two of the best performances ever on AI.

[nooneveryimportant]

i really like his interpretation, very unique, there is something special about it, and his voice sounds always great

[AmyMichaelis]

i'm laugh everytime i see this video =))

[TheSoundOfMusic64]

I think they focused less on his vocal and more on the strange musical arrangement... not really fair to him :/

[tangomango777]

Randy Jackson was right, this was amazing and current. My personal favorite. I still watch it after all these years!

[Martijano]

his vocals are incredible !! +.+

[superfob54]

Lol at Simon waiting patiently at 5:05 for his chance to trash Adam's performance?

[ZrtaRepizo]

What say Adam in 6:28 ??

[bitchfan1]

He ruined the song :(

[4EverAGlambert1989]

@bitchfan1 actually what you just gave is a completely and totally false statement adam took a completely low life country song and brought it t life again wth a toaly different twitst on it he PERFECTED THE NO GOOD COUNTRY SONG

[Scope000]

@4EverAGlambert1989 I'm not a fan of Adam Lambert, but he didn't to a completely terrible job. His performance was a little strange, but the singing itself wasn't half bad. But calling anything Johnny Cash low life, and no good, is just plain insane. You need to reevaluate music.

[4EverAGlambert1989]

@Scope000his singing WAS SPOT ON PERFECT&NO1IN THE INDUSTRY2DAY CAN SING LIKE HIM&I DID REEVALUATE MUSIC WHEN ADAM STEPED ON THE SCENE&REALIZED IT WAS SUCKISH UNTIL HE CAME ALONG&BROUGHT LIFE BACK INTO MUSIC HE SINGS ANYTHING&ITS PURE GOLD&SO SO MUCH BETTER THAN THE RECORDINGS WERE ADAM IS PERFECET THATS ALL THERE IS2IT U DONT LIKE IT DEAL W/IT BC WHAT IM TELLING U R FACTS SO GET OVER IT&RELAIZE MUSIC IS BETTER BC OF ADAM&WITHOUT ADAM MUSIC WOULD B NOHING&JOHNNY CASH FUCKING SUCKED

[Scope000]

@4EverAGlambert1989 Forget it. Your previous post made me think you had at least a little rational thought in you. I see I was wrong. Carry on. There's no point arguing with a person such as you.

[theodora2005]

@4EverAGlambert1989 man, stfu about how johnny cash sucked. im a huge glambert but u are kinda mad to insult others.

[4EverAGlambert1989]

@theodora2005 lol i wont shut up and if its insulting others oh well they dont have to read what i write i speak mymind and thats it im not gonna change you fucked up cunt sucking rotten irritating bastard so you dont like what i write dont read it its that simple

[musicloverlzm]

too much moaning for my taste

[theodora2005]

quote from Adam: Some country fans are like 'oh that is soo insulting!!!!' Look, Johnny Cash was a rebel, he would have dug it, he was a cool guy. Im not a country singer, what do you want me to do?

Totally agree with adam..... He is not a country singer. at least he made it his.

[kool2btrue]

A lot of people are pissed to what he did to the song, but the vocals were simply AMAZING. Best rendition ever, not any artists can take lyrics from a different genre and make them their own. Now, that is it, he is not a country singer, he made the song to fit him, what option did he have? sure he failed the country singing challenge, but he is still years ahead of this competition. It's not like Scotty was ever asked to sing rock and roll right?

[giulianasweet]

Simon is crazy, this performance was amazing!

[hylyndgurl93]

he ruined a cash classic!

[Rockzwell77]

this is the worst shit i ever hear, seen, or something, get die motherfucker!!!!!

[mccinaz]

whatever .... the judges are so behind the times on this it's not funny. i thought this was one of adam's greatest renditions. awesome stuff ....

[225ee6b6]

fuck him

[valisferi]

<3<3<3

[kalidoresdan]

hhaaahahahahahahahahahahahhhaa­ahahahahahahahahahahahhhaaahah­ahahahahahahahahahhhaaahahahah­ahahahahahahahhhaaahahahahahah­ahahahahahhhaaahahahahahahahah­ahahahhhaaahahahahahahahahahah­ahhhaaahahahahahahahahahahahhh­aaahahahahahahahahahahahhhaaah­ahahahahahahahahahahhhaaahahah­ahahahahahahahahhhaaahahahahah­ahahahahahahhhaaahahahahahahah­ahahahahhhaaahahahahahahahahah­ahahhhaaahahahahahahahahahahah­hhaaahahahahahahahahahahahhhaa­ahahahahahahahahahahah!!!!!!!!­!!

[queenojokers]

I'm not an adam lambert fan, don't get me wrong I like a few songs, but this one killed it for me. I'm down with artists making their own covers of songs, but this was awful to be related to Johnny Cash.. I chuckled at the NIN comment, it wouldn't sound like this, Hurt is proof of that....I agree with Simon there's somethings you don't do to songs....

[somedudeII]

Brilliant! Freaking fantastic performance. I almost ALWAYS agree with Simon but he got it SO damn wrong this time.

[TheBluePianist]

holy crap, whoa, my jaw dropped, i hardly ever see anything like this

and then the judges say they didnt like it? rubbish tv

[Luv2Rock333]

omg im obsessed with this still today in 2012!!! O_O

[hlookie]

@Luv2Rock333 ME TOO!!!! There will never be anyone but Adam for me on that show...

[trinklebell1997]

@Luv2Rock333 crazy isnt it.. so beautiful, sexy, talented

[109Aileen]

It's current , it's young, it's hot; it's sexy,it's dynamite and I LOVE IT !!! < 3

[feltyb]

Sorry...but this version sucks....all the way....Johnny Cash...probably just threw up in his grave

[efkaservicegirl]

I adore Adam. Absolutely adore him, but still not sure about this version. I just don't know.

[Superkolofantalismus]

He's SO HOT!!!!!!!!

[SillyLilly000]

@Superkolofantalismus HES GAY

[chica044]

@SillyLilly000 SO WHAT? He IS hot! You think gay cant be hot? Grow up.

[AndreaGl1D]

@SillyLilly000 he's hot

[100elija]

this version is much better than official!!!

go adam

[funnyfurtuson]

this version is lame as a pair of shaved balls

[moreofmyselftokiII]

this performance and melinda's performance of sweet valentine blew me away. I love how his friend after the performance said "that was so awesome"

[LivingDeadGirl7108]

its good he didnt win. if he did he woulda been bound by the ai contract and he couldnt be himself. I LOVE U ADAM!!!

[xoxodarkflamexoxo]

he didnt riun the song..he just made it his own.:)

[JillyMiss]

@xoxodarkflamexoxo You're so right!! People who feel he ruined the song should check out his even better rendition on the Glam Nation live CD/DVD - absolutely stunning!!!

[053020]

He has totally ruined a great song. Just awful.

[NatStap18]

Randy Travis has a wrinkly face.

[Alemamwyjebane]

I must admit it's interesting interpretension of the original song but I don't like it at all.

[MiladyToxic]

Randy Travis looked so awkward with Adam......uhhhhhhhhhh

[Horseshoedayz]

@MiladyToxic Doesnt he though!

Randy Travis looks awkward... period.

[MiladyToxic]

@Horseshoedayz Hahaha that's a good point xD

[inshrah07]

where can i get this song in adams voice

[globin3]

@inshrah07 Ring of fire studio version is on Youtube. Then you go to google, type Youtube to mp3 and you'll find a converter.

[niknatbff]

he has the same range as me. and i'm a soprano.

[tar110055]

I love this version. LOVE IT!

[Beshflorin]

His best performance he had on American Idol IMHO

[TheDarkNomad]

@Beshflorin

agreed, followed by "Feeling Good". Mad World is great, but I don't see it as Adam's type of a song.

[danieldefenseM4]

I think he is a great singer, but he ruined the song.

[whatubeaccount1]

I'm here to report that Adam just was a part of a gay-on-gay crime. which is way gayer than a gay-crime, and slightly less gay than a gay-on-gay-on-gay crime:)

[JennekeWeenink]

hes rubbish i believe it hes gay and hes in jail!

[narusasu136]

holly fck, how does he reach those notes?!?!?!! AMAZING voice!

[liveturtle]

LOVE LOVE LOVE Adam!!  Great Awesome voice

[DJassyJas]

Simons Wrong he's not RUBBISH!

[eutana]

Adam never fails to bring it! I never liked this song until Adam sang his version. Great, great performance. Simon is rarely wrong, but he really missed it on this one.

[lisalexo]

Loved this song...  One of his most memorable on Idol.

[Lovethepeacegirl98]

i need him....i neeedddddddddddddddddddddddddd­ddddddddddddddd him...or there will be a big splodey.

[Cinciauctions]

The #1 preformance"" EVER "" Johnny would have wonders why anyone would not like it,,,

[18Rudie]

think before you write something ;-)

[crowsludge]

@Cinciauctions lol

[bekabee43]

aw randy travis <3 such a sweetie

[toolseed]

-.- gay .

[MrTupufia]

Please Help this user get more views on his hilarious Videos

Here's one: /watch?v=W3MwOwXgub0&feature=r­elated

[thepi41]

ohhh yeahhh

[jinzodude]

Way to ruin one of my favorite cash songs, douche.

[Borat911]

At least he tried to give it a whole new sound and it's not even country anymore ... Cash's original, and his version of bringing it forward and performing it happened to be country ... but god forbid somebody covers something trying not to sound exactly like Cash ... might as well just play a Johnny Cash tape and playback ... dress up like Cash and you just got an imitation act .... Like all those wannabe Elvis fucks .. At least respect this dude for trying to be creative !

[DemonDamien]

Nine Inch Nails already did a country song - by Johnny Cash: Hurt

[rikpward]

@DemonDamien Think you need a little music lesson. Hurt is a Nine Inch Nails song released back in 1994. Cash then released a copy of this in 2002. Cash's version is excellent, but I fear you have falling into the trap of believing something that may appear to be the original, is the original.

[DemonDamien]

@rikpward Tx, didn't know that. I'm not a country music fan, i just started listening to johnny cash after God's Gonna Cut You Down from battlefield 3 xD

[joannajean]

@DemonDamien You Suck!

[DemonDamien]

@joannajean Actually I lick... mainly... ;)

[carolnoble80]

adam I love your take on this song. right on and keep it up

[getout8181]

This performance left me with my jaw on the ground. WTF did he just do? Loved it.

[lalalala1213]

Terrible

[thepi41]

he should have throwed some head whips into the performance.:) sex it up a little!

[thepi41]

damn

[LeBaggeLady]

This was first performance I had ever downloaded from AI, still love it...

[FM897]

This is absolutely brilliant!

[FM897]

Randy Travis seems like a typical Christian, heterosexist hick. But I would think he'd be a little bit more MUSICALLY open-minded. Johnny Cash is one of a kind, but why do songs need to be sung the exact same way forever??

[globin3]

So Simon gave him a standing ovation for Mad World but he hated this one? What the actual fuck, that was the most brilliant performance he's done on the show. (with WLL) I usually agree with every word Simon says but he was out of his goddamn mind.

[ThePaperrosie]

My favorite!!!!!!

[dyssynchrony]

When Simon gets it wrong he does it big time. Everyone I know including me who is an Adam fan, this is their favorite Idol song that he did, and then "Mad World". Adam is amazing! Can't wait for his next album!

[TheDarkNomad]

@dyssynchrony

What do you mean ? Simon realized the potential Adam had and everyone knows he's better off like this than being a slave had he won the season. All things happen for a reason :)

He was - WITHOUT a doubt - the best of that season.

[dyssynchrony]

@TheDarkNomad

I was talking about "Ring of fire". Simon didn't like Adam's version. Of course Simon recognized Adam's talent over the course of the show, he's not an idiot. But he is wrong on occasion. Of course Adam didn't need to win, just like Daughtry. :)

[TheDarkNomad]

@dyssynchrony

Ah right. I don't think he likes eccentric experiments, but I think later on he realized it's part of his charm and skill.

To be honest I don't even remember the name of the winner of that season. Did he even release a record ? Was it platinum ?! All I heard a few months back was Adam's "What do you want from me". "Whole Lotta Love" proved who was the best of that season in my opinion... Honestly I doubt Simon agreed to the end result of the show.

[alyna231]

Awesome...

[21krizchristensen]

HE WAS SUCH A GENTLEMAN YIIII!!!

[agatahb]

learn English, before you start criticizing ... it's "heard"

[jardo1989]

I have only one question: WHAT IS THIS? O.o Almost 3000 likes? Omg, have you ever heared Johnny singing? Jesus...

[davidls11]

@jardo1989 Johnny's is better, but Adam's is sexier. Of course Leonard Nimoy's version combines both. :)

[PeekAtYou24]

OMG! Beginning at 2:19 on the screen, he looks just like Elvis!!

[schockm115389]

i love simon's reaction lol but i love this song more!!!! What the hell was that!!! That was the true Adam Lambert for ya!!!!!! ha!!!!!!

[colombiacrack88]

why is my room suddenly steamy ?

[MusicEditingCat]

aww he's adorable...

[MsGavrielGirl]

I am speechless....

[globin3]

ONLY time I ever disagreed with Simon. Come on, that was the most memorable performance he did!

[lycanking1231]

wat a faggot...if you like this ur either gay or a girl...and probrably like justin beiber

[MRRJD2]

@lycanking1231

2,871 people disagree with you.

[XxXEKIAAMXxX]

@MRRJD2 2, 876 :p



[mallory174]

@lycanking1231 If you are gonna hate on Adam, why even watch the vidoes? Obviously you either have no life. Go be a hater somewhere else.

[10000liverpool]

wow he has fucked up some of the most legendary songs and i feel bad for those lengends that work hard to wright those songs and this dumbass fucks them up
