Adam Lambert Mad World with judges.

[HHEYYPRETTY]

search robin stjernberg and you'll see one even better idol , but swedish ;)

youre great too tho adam!

[spankme4321]

I DIDN'T KNOW ADAM LAMBERT WAS THE VOICE OF HERBERT THE PERVERT! LOL

[roremorgan]

Dont get me wrong he's awesome , but does he sound like the pedofile of family guy to anyone else :/

[UndeaadArmy]

@roremorgan So fuckin true. But without the whisselin' sound

[NaomiTwilightRob]

aw is laugh at 00.15 :3

[murly1054]

Wow. Other Idol contestants could learn from Adam how to deliver a beautiful vocal while connecting to the emotions of a song. 

[debbiechickie5]

This is so damn tasty.

[pmpd]

Paulas reaction at 2.53 tells it all

[JoeHVR]

Unbelievable performance !! 

[Eyesxlikexaxtarget]

This is a priceless moment in time. Adam has amazing creativity and talent, it's too bad though that most of his CD is just recycled poppy crap. Fact is though, everyone will remember him to be the best American Idol contestant they have had, and probably (in my opinion) will ever have.

[cnykee]

Cannot believe this guy didn't win it. Idiot homophobes...

[dukhtareafg1]

simon with standing O :D absolutely brilliant!

[MightyStockscom]

Greatest AI performance ever IMO

[sloppyjakekisses]

Thanks for posting this!

[The1gypsyqueen]

Sorry but Aiden looks terrified. Adam is now the standard which is held up for others to aspire to.

[Glitterfran]

Such a beautiful and tender voice! That Aiden guy is a crook stealing Adam's staging, but Aiden's voice is completely flat.

[bleachercreature123]

this is amazing! I love adam and I think he's one of the best artists of our time, and this hast to be one of the best live performances he's ever done

[AdamJF84]

Stupid power texting (10 texts with a press of the button) At and t had a rally, I think it was AT&T, to help get as many texts by cheating pretty much...it's all good though. I like them both, just Adam Lambert is a once in a lifetime performer.

[Tianguo2012]

@AdamJF84 A truer, fairer measurer of Adam's actual popularity vs. Kris' is the Twitter follower count: 700,000 to 215,000.

[gimingo25]

How did Kris Allen beat this?

[shazbot2u]

@gimingo25 KRIS WHO???? LMFAO

[vampire890]

Perfect.

[MsLuisat]

OMFG Adam is sooooooooooooo gorgeus!

[Angeltaryn1]

veryyyy awesome i love adam!

[OAIXproChrist19]

He is so handsome without the eyeliner..

[AliasRaven]

He got a standing ovation from Simon.

That's like, getting struck by lightning.

Not impossible. Highly improbable.

[BellaDiCapria]

@darqyoda how dare you. He looks nothing like a Jonas! But ur right on that last part, they suck shit, Adam is amazingggg

[BellaDiCapria]

Woooooooooo!!!! He so deserved Simon's standing ovation!!!! Screw Kris Allen!

[ladylucymoon]

LOVEEE IT!!! UNBELIEVABLEEEE PERFORMANCE ? FANTASTIC !!!!! PERFECT !!!

[BeardedLincoln]

... haunting. love it.

[geelsu]

The thing about this song is that it made me explore the group Tears For Fears. I never realized how much of an influence they were to the 1980s. I was born in 1959 and knew the bands of the late 60s and those of the 70s. By the 80s I was out of the music scene for a while. I'd like to thank Adam for this revival of a classic 80s song by a premiere 80s band. It is nice to discover for the first time something so valuable.

[rednibs44]

Good grief, this performance gives me the TOTAL chills too! SO hauntingly beautiful......

[Slangaerial]

studio version is amazing....@@

[darqyoda]

Wow its joe jonas twin only hes not horrible at singing

[Lamberciaa]

LOOOOOOVEEEE HIM!

[ChloeAgnew4Ever]

Hey me and paula have something in common,We both loved this performance :D

[Koarez]

I give credits to the guy that decided to give this performance that backlighting.

I mean honestly. There was a god on that stage.

[fragglemaniac]

@Koarez you need not look much further...it was adam's own idea...all the staging in every one of his performances was his idea...

[Philllies4Life]

i miss his long hair:(

[AdamJF84]

I get chills every time I watch this lol...

[2020cmb]

@AdamJF84 me too! thx so much for uploading this. i watch it everyday. lol

[licciardideb]

@AdamJF84 Chills and standing ovations, ADAM LAMBERT IS FANTASTIC

[sarahannebradford78]

Adam basically mad history with this performance!!

[MattSinger16]

Throughout this performance I was like... How can anyone sing so perfectly and then he sort of went off pitch on the last note but quickly fixed it. That brought me back down to earth, because I was literally out into space while getting chills throughout this whole performance. I am singer myself and he inspires me a lot. I most definitely think he is the best vocalist that has ever walked on that stage.

[stephissoadorable]

@MattSinger16 they corrected it in the compilation though :P hahaha i silently laughed when i discovered.

[AdamJF84]

It is my pleasure...everyone should be able to enjoy his beautifully haunting performance.

[outlawbooster]

When I saw this live, I got chills up my spine! Almost cried when he didn't quite make that last note, but realized what a magnificent singer he was when he adjusted immediately to being slightly off pitch. He makes me cry with the beauty of his voice. Thank you for the intro and Simon.

[geelsu]

Agreed. Thanks for this video. I love this rendition of Mad World.

[flyingloo]

1.11 - u can see his hand shakin.. oh gosh :) <3 Adam pls come to Budapest :):)

[Kaotic4NickC]

@flyingloo it was most likely nerves he was nervous i think

[Loosho10]

Best AI performance ever! Just incredible!

[taylorphoe]

Thank you for this video! I've always wanted to see it in full.
