  • He never tries to imitate anyone. He just takes the original song and sings it his way, making it his own. That's the sign of a great musician. Adam is a genius!

  • I love this version! That’s why I’m here!

  • That was gorgeous. You go Adam. What a beautiful song. Thank you Muse,

  • I love Matt and Muse. Been listening to them for ages. Even attended their concert in the UK. Hearing Adam sing this song, i believe he did a superb job. Adam can sing this song in different genres and that's what i really find amazing. Besides you can't compare the 2 artists as they have different styles of singing.

  • Muse is lucky Adam sang his song.

  • @aquafina2u No....Adam is lucky Muse let him sing their song.

  • @aquafina2u Muse is a band, not a person by the way, and it's the other way around, being able to sing a Muse song is an honor, no one will ever sing this song like Matt and he should be happy he was given a chance to try.

  • Adam has such a powerful voice and seeing him sing it live in Charlotte was stunningly beautiful. The crowd went nuts over every song. I felt a little sorry for the others as Adam had the crowd in the palm of his hand . Amazing stage presence. I keep coming back to all of the Idol show s on tv and this tour. I never tire of watching him perform with that magnificent voice!

  • @funbunn40 nope he doesnt have a magnificent voice, muse can kick his ass :) Matt bellamy will beat this guy down, thank you

  • @9617kurtis how about we stop comparing artists and just enjoy? 

  • @9617kurtis matt belamy? haha that guy cant even hold a note to save himself, dont insult the best singer in the world right now by putting matts name in the same sentence with adams, for the record this was a ai tour, it was just a cover get over it

  • He's beautiful, his voice is beautiful but Muse are godlike. Why is he even bothering to try, bless him???? He can't float to the high note on 'Hold you in my arms' like Matthew Bellamy can, and he will never be able to, ever. But I still like him of course!

  • @GloriousEscape Umm excuse me no on the music industry has adams vocal range, matthew has a good voice but compared to lambert? Your joking right

  • @3ku1 No one? Are you kidding me? NO ONE? You're DEFINITELY joking me right?

    No one beats Muse.

  • Loveee

  • @unnaturalselection28 Do moving arms give you motion sickness or sumpthing? If you hate this, please tell me what you think of James Durbin doing Uprising? Cuz that sure made me barf.

  • @getout8181 yeah ! well I just saw It and he's singing and moving the same way than Adam ! -__-

  • my fav band is muse, and I love adam! obviously starlight is better with Matt but this is a cover, and it is great! we don't have to compare them!!

  • Adam is good but no one beats muse :I EVER.

  • I love Adam! I also a love Matt and MUSE. Adam and Matt are not the same. They sing differently but both are great in singing this song. Adam did very well on covering this song. Happy New Year!

  • I Like Adam and his songs but sorry you can not compare the incomparable!!

  • @YoupiYoupiful yeah you can not throw rocks to the skies

  • he is allays the Beeeeest in what he does!!!!

  • Muse is my favorite band and Bellamy is a big inspiration for me with singing. I have no interest in Lambert's music, but any sane Muse fan will admit this is a great cover. The only reason they wouldn't like it is because it's different and not by Muse--but I'm afraid that's what a cover is, guys.

  • this song couldn't be sang it better! God, he sings...devine! Adam, we love you baby!

  • @SuperflySister97 Oh yeah, it could be sang better. Just let Muse sing it and hear the great difference.

    And for Adam:

    YOU SUCK!

  • Just BEAUTIFUL. Better then MUSE. Great song, Adam's voice fits BETTER then Mat. Love Muse, but Adam owns it.

  • @batsheba1000 you're crazy , Matt's voice is incomparable !

    its not better than muse, its good but , .. you're crazy

  • @AnaelleM10 Yeah, I am totally agree with you!! They are all crazy!

  • when he sang this song on good morning america , it was so great, it was done only with a guitar,, watch it if you can,, no one could sing this song to perfection like Adam Lambert

  • when he sang this song on good morning america , it was so great, it was done only with a guitar,, watch it if you can,, mat or any other idol couldnt sing this song to perfection like Adam Lambert

  • Cheers to Adam for being a Muse fan. Now never do this song again. Not to be mean, he does a good job all things considered. This is just a really hard song to sing. He has great voice control, though. But leave this to Matt and Chris ;) (and if he ever DOES do it again...BASS. PLEASE.)

  • Why does it have to be a contest between Matt and Adam, can't they both be appreciated for their separate talents? They both have great voices, and different styles. If you don't like Adam's version, then go back and listen to Matt's. Why bother posting a negative comment- why spread hate. There's enough of that in this world, we don't need more. Let us enjoy Adam's amazing performance.

  • I LOVE THIS. the version on good morning america is clearer but he has such a natural gift. the only people who are hating on this cover are the kids who think they're huge muse fans but not even. i know TONS of huge muse fans who love this version.

  • @teuntjuh987kolere And I'm so glad hell sent him.

  • I think that was a good cover...

    I was reading somewhere that muse praised him on this song as well

  • ewwww, compared to matt bellamy and the original muse version, i really dont like it.

  • Okay, he has a beautiful voice, but it's nothing compared to Matthew Bellamy!!!

  • Love Muse and think Adam did the song justice great cover

  • So beautiful and to think he is now beginning his own tour...love him

  • nothing beats the original

  • Unbelievable !! His voice is not of this world !! Love,love love this song !

  • I can see Kris Allen backstage, going, "There goes Adam." :)

  • Gorgeous. This is beautiful! [No one else should cover Muse; I think Adam is the only one who should/could.]

  • Adam is incredible. He sends shivers up and down my spine when he sings. He is absolutely the best that came out of Idol and is one of the greatest singers of all time.

  • LPthebest100 ooops, SORRY!!!  I voted down your comment by mistake, it was close to that of nasty hater, I totally with your comment that was: LPthebest100 this is better than muse::)he is amazing

  • @FallemhainDoc Duh!!!

  • Beautiful singer and performer!! personally prefer it better than muse !

  • Jesus Christ, this can't be better than Muse. He JUST SINGS. Matthew sings, plays the guitar and he plays the piano on the album version of this song. If you ever see Muse live, you'll know that this is nothing like Muse. He just has to sing. You should try to place yourself in Adam's position. Pretty easy when you got a good voice (which Adam has, I admit ;) ) but he's just no Matt Bellamy. Sorry.

  • @MuseResistanced Mhm. Yea we all know Matt is one of the most incredibly talented people in the business, but I think Adam does an incredible cover. And I don't think he was aiming to be better than Matt, cause Adam's a huge fan of Muse.

    On a side note, I think he took it up a key. I think it would have sounded better if he kept it low like Matt.

  • @OfficialNickNakama I think that Adam and Matts voices are the best male vocals in the industry..

  • @poulova

    I agree with the Matt-part

  • this is shite, why did they agree to let him cover it?

  • this is better than muse::)he is amazing

  • Beautiful voice, wonderful cover.

  • Open minded, people. I am the fan of Muse and Adam. Both of them did a fantastic job on this song. They are different.....Adam's a fan of Muse. It is amazing he can do a Muse song in his own way and brilliant. It is very difficult because Mat is the man...Love Muse and Adam.They should perform live together.....Bomb....Rocks

  • Adam varies the pitch of his voice according to the song. When you hear him singing whole Lotta love it is deeper. I went to the AI concert and heard how he can vary his voice according to the type of song. He is one of the few artists that is known to have a four octave range. The AI producer Nigel has been quoted as saying that Adam has one of the best talent the American Idol show has ever seen...

  • No offense but... his voice is... a little girlish (for me), but it sounds amazing.

  • Those who love desperatly Muse go, to Muse concerts , here is Adam,s concert. If he sings like Mat what is he , a copy? I did listen Muse's version and i like more Adam's. That doesen't means Mat is wrong , is just different. My opinion and is not just mine is Adam's voice is the best ever

  • @myyoutcl It doesn't mean that Matt is wrong, it means you're dumb :)

  • that means you are a rude boy , if you dont like , don't look and i could to be your mother but i am glad i am not because my son has more common sense and stop the fight on youtube if you want to use'it anymore

  • Learn to type properly, you make yourself sound stupid. You can't beat Matt Bellamy's vocals, not at his own song anyway.

  • He's a good singer, but he just took a shit on Muse's song. He actually did well with Soaked, though.

  • OMG!!! *.*

  • I wish this is what his cd sounded like!

  • but u gota admit the songs on his album r ausome!!! luv aam!

  • Ah,no matter what you say I like it

    He has very beautiful voice

  • If you have listened to other songs that he has sung and you still think he has a bad voice then you all are tone deaf.

  • no u cant kill him he is now a star i love him soo much. his voice is great gosh.

  • He just killed Bellamy's starlight!!!!!.... T_T!

  • KILL IT!!!!! -dies-

  • kill that damn cat!!

  • awesome voice and control adam, but i still prefer muse's version..

  • saw the show in Cleveland and this was one of my favorite songs of the night :) I had other favorites on the show, but Adam really impressed me at the concert. He's extremely talented and an incredible performer...he captivates the audience and he put on a great show :)

  • good cover but I do prefer muse's version like a 1000 times more though. But then of course muse has to be one of the best bands there is. and of course absolutely increduble when it comes to live performance. cred to adam aswell though

  • aAMAZING!!!!! NOTHING MESSED UP! INCREDIBLE!!!!! FLAWLESS!!!!! Hes the best singer ever! Whos muse btw? I asked my family and friends if they knew who they were and they said they never heard of them. . . hmm oh well I LOOOVVVEEEE ADAM!!!!!!<3333333333

  • Muse is a very famous band btw

    I find Adam somehow related to them ... like Feeling Good, this song or even Soaked in his new album :)

  • ouch....thats cold dude.....front man of MUSE "Matthew Bellamy" wrote soaked than later gave it to adam....

    And Adam is a really big fan of muse too

  • I know and I LOOOVVVVEEEE SOAKED ITS AMAZING i got to hand it to Matthew it is an incredible written song with an incredible voice to go with it!!!!

  • ahh... your friends and family should listen muse.

    Am i the only one who doesnt like his voice? :x

  • i can't stand his voice too.

    Bellamy does it soooooooooooooooooooo much better o.o

  • nooooooooo why would someone ruin muse songs!!

  • i agree with you

  • another adamazing performance although i DID prefer his acoustic version on GMA but THIS IS AWESOME TOO :D

  • Wackydude1992: he does do the song better in the end, I was at the ri one which was the 4th to last I think

  • i love both muse and adam lambert, but im not a huge fan of this combination..... adam's voice is amazing, but better suited for other songs

  • He is absolutely flawless.

  • I wish I could see him live in person or at concert <33333

  • muse is a band

  • Yall it's called originality and he is amazing!!!

  • whoever made this video had a good seat and it was a good quality camera.

  • I was there!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • he has such a great voice!

  • Oh Wow..he's changed this song up a lot throughout the tour, both vocally and with the performance aspect of it! I didn't even realize how much!! He doesn't even move away from his mic, he doesn't do the epic arms tosses during the drum beats. He probably quickly realized he couldn't continue to sing this entirely in a higher key night after night. It's so awesome to see how much more performance came into his songs as the tour progressed.

    LOVE YA ADAM! AWESOME!!

  • Adam, you do realize that we LOVE you~~!!

  • Matt and Adam should have a sing off!!

  • you've got to be kidding me.

  • Saw him in Reading PA. AMAZING

  • OMG so soar

  • I thought Muse made this good, but Adam made it soar!

  • can i just say that i fuckin LOVE this man? he's so fantastic!!! such amazing talent! when i turn 18 and he's not gay anymore, im gonna marry him!

  • Comment removed

  • yeah, right, good luck with that ;-)

  • is there any studio version?

  • oh my god. is he even real?

    he's so perfect... how is it possible?

  • i want a studio recording of this song by him. he's amazing. just amazing.

  • agreed!!

  • I can't wait until Adam is done with this AI bs tour. He did what he had to do by auditioning to get noticed and he succeded. Him losing was the best thing that could have happened because once he gets this crappy tour out of the way..the sky is the limit for him!! He is not under AI contract any longer and does not have to be a crappy pop puppet.. I can't WAIT to see what he does next!!!

  • Adam is utterly stunning!!

  • I don't see the need to compare or compete the 2 against each other. Adam has stated several times that Muse is one of his favorite bands and he did a great cover of this song, period. Big deal! It's not necessary to say one or the other is better, they each are unique, but I think Adam did this song justice.

  • I am so happy Adam has realized his dream...he was born for the stage...simply amazing!! He has such sex appeal and star quality...can't wait for your first CD Adam!!

  • Adam is great. Why do people hate him?? It's not his fault that sometimes, he's better than the original singer.. I don't disrespect the original singer, he's the one that made it famous though, not Adam

  • in this case... hes not better than the original singer cause Bellamy from MUSE is a certified high pitch tenor... but adams voice fits the song pretty well

  • ADAM = AWESOME STAR !!!!!!

  • adam = fail

  • Ugh! Don't evvvver refer to Muse as a Twilight band. Muse is way to good for that crap...

  • exactly!

  • WORLDWIDE IDOL !!!!!!

  • watching adam is exhilarating. i saw both Newark AI concerts over the weekend and he was by far the best! i cant take my eyes off of him! I'm not saying Muse is not a good band, because they are amazing, but i'd say Adam did a hella good job singing this. His voice is amazing, and he's my idol!

  • Adam sings this better than anybody...he puts a flare in it....

    Go Adam!!

  • it cant be better because he didnt actually write the the lyrics of the song and he didnt even arrange the music differently.. he cant add the sense of feeling of the original composer...

  • I really like Adam, but this is not as good as Muse singing it. I firmly agree with you.

    =D

  • these first 5 times he did this song it wasn't as good as muse but in the end it gets better. like in detroit and those last 4 or 5 concerts. he changes the pitch and note . :)

  • Great tribute to a great song by a great singer, some of those high notes, just jaw dropping. Glad to see a UK band recognised by American artists continue, great stuff

  • oh fuck. he's ruined it for me. this is my favourite song too. he could never get matt bellemy's notes. bellemy's just too good. sure, he's got it okay in his own way, but lets face it, he'll never be as good as the orignal singer.

  • okay.

    lets get things straight, he wrecks this song.

    You should listen to the original by Muse, it is a lot better.

    Muse do the best live performances, how many awards have they won? oh just 16. thats nothing.

    Watch starlight at the mtv awards, you'll see how fucking amazing they are.

  • LOOVE HIM :D

  • adam is theee best! love him sooo much. cant wait for his album to come out!

  • Never heard of them before... but Adam did an amazing job as usual!

    LOVE you Adam <3

  • I don't think Muse are legends, but I definitely think that if you didn't know Muse before Adam sang this (or if you knew Muse only b/c of Twilight), you were definitely missing out. Great performance anyway (as always).

  • they are legends, and that's sad if you didn't know who Muse was until Adam did this song. And they are very popular so it shows u don't know much

  • i so agree i love this song i didnt even know adam covered it until someone told me and i was kinda excited

  • the best Idol ever!!! Adam never disapoints!!! I LOVE YOU ADAM!!!!!

  • I didnt even know who Muse was until Adam - wow does he make this song beautiful though!

  • i have listened to the originals of Queen and Zeppeling songs here on youtube and Adam outsings them so no one can fool me.

  • And u can't fool me either Mrcman. Wasn't it u who ranted that u never bashed Danny Gokey, and that I must be a schizophrenic for suggesting that? I suppose remarks like: " i like this song, now if he weren't so judgmental about so many of my fellow humans ,he'd be ok-he has no orginality or creativity though -so is still just a very good karaoke singer" on Danny's Maria Maria in Sacramento video, don't count do they? Listen to Led Zeppelin-Whole Lotta Love ( Video) I TRY to be honest, 4 once.

  • jim2738426, I see you continue to demonstrate your eloquence, intelligence and maturity.

  • Awesome job, Adam!

    Check out my cover of "Starlight"

    You might recognize me from American Idol :)

  • It's sad that this has more views than his other performances of this song because they were f-ing stunning. This was their first stop, his voice got warmed up and well-adjusted after a few days and he sounds so ethereal singing this now. This is still ok though. Just not his best. Because he is incredible.

    So. What do you think of Muse's new song people?

  • i love the new songs by muse.

  • great singer!

  • Adam's gay, so yay!!!!

  • love this guy

  • dang, i wish adam wasn't gay. haha.

    he's so hot! ahhhhhhhhh.

    anyone else agree with me?

  • gay as hell

  • no, you are

  • totally!

  • adam is totally! gay

  • hahah, but why should that matter?

  • you're a guy, and you're like...stalking adam.

  • do u know what "stalking" even means?

    im bashing stupid fans like you,thats what im doin,but stalking?nigga pls

  • adam's awesome! :)

  • Bashing and name calling. How clever and mature!

  • Don't be so daft. Do you know what stalking is? Adam has a stalker and that is worrying enough.

    Don't show your ignorance.

  • um, excuse me..

    i was taking up for adam!

  • Ellexdoubleyou, I'm actually glad he's gay. It's not like even if he weren't you'd have a chance with him. How many crazed fans would love to have sex with him? xDD But I'm glad he's gay because I wouldn't be able to see him with a girlfriend or anything. So.. wooo. :]
