Adam Lambert: "How Come You Don't Call Me Anymore" at Upright Cabaret

[jeffervescence]

Wow! I'm blown away by this! He can sing anything! Totally love it!

[TraceyRN]

Auhhhhmazzzzinnggg!!



[psychodellicFaubio]

Better than I thought it would be lol

[3ku1]

Just read up this got named by professional singers and experts 2nd in the 100 greatest live performances of all time, adams also at 12th and 30th

[3ku1]

Ddd have just named this at 12th in the 100 greatest live performances of all time, adams also at 2nd for heavens on our mind

[3ku1]

But continued the media and public inside and outside the idol bubble I think are just taking a while to warm up to him, he is just so different to anything in the pop industry. And I also think casual fans cant take him seriousley with the whole glam cover, oh hes the gay guy who wails. But I think the whole new direction in his next album, and the fact he is toning down his look since idol when he had this whole glitzy glam style.

[3ku1]

Far as I can tell being true to your self means being honest, seeing adams nothing but, I dont buy adams conducting this commercilized, corporate adam. Thats just the medias perception, the fact adams already evolving his own sound and identity takes guts. Love or hate him imo he is the next world icon, I just think right now the public and the media (after seeing the standing o at the amas, I think he has alot of freinds in the industry including katy perry shes awesome for obvious reasons haha

[drewdavies1]

STUFF OF LEGENDS

[GlambertGal23]

How come I have never seen this video?!?! >.< Adam is amazing. <3

[lizedawg]

i love the pause to ask about dessert. i feel like that's so adam...

[iheartmesomeadam]

hehez up on a piano nice adam.....hmm makes u wonder if hes ever.....on a piano......aaahhh dirty thoughts ;)

[hamsterhippy85]

This vid puts me in a really good mood no matter how crap my day has been. Adam is one of a kind and I love him for it <3

[dustindudu]

@hamsterhippy85 me too... his voice is like a orgasm in my ears <3

[stepanenko17]

Love it!!

[billcottles]

This guy needs to ditch the corporate, commercialized packaged Adam Lambert and just let it all hang out and be who he really is....that's how history is made...

[payasyouglow]

@billcottles I agree! Adam, if you are reading this, you can thank Idol for launching your name, but seriously ditch the contract as soon as it's up and do you're own thing. Screw the back-up dancers and glitzy shit, just have musicians.

[Rosannasfriend]

@payasyouglow those are things he wanted, not what Idol made him do. :)

[MsSwwood]

Still sheer and utter vocal perfection...still in my heart... <3

[RisingFlame18]

"I promise- I'm gonna sit on this piano but I'm not gonna do it like, side saddle, I gonna do it like, a boy, I'll do my best, haha." I'm 99% sure that's what he said, hahaha.

Oh Adam you gay freak I love you so much. *dies from amazing overdose* <3

[Glambertmania]

3:44 He seems to have so much fuuuun!!!! <3 Haha Little (not that much) Adam :)

[POPDIVA20]

Hey Guys! Check out my cover to this song! search: Sarah Himmelstein How come you don't call me

[MusicSoul1998]

I find it funny how he starts talking about dessert and the just goes back to singing. "A text message is not okay. No" -Adam Lambert

[nefariousturtle]

love Adam... just wanders into the crowd, seduces someone for dessert, wanders back, and wails out that stunner around 4:00

[XxDeathxofxDawnxX]

Adam don't fall off that piano! LOL! He's SUCH a doll face angel puff (What that means no one knows) -3

[Bithsith1]

[DeDeDinah0749]

Some argue that he sings from his head and others say from his chest but here from 3:47 for a little bit, it appears that he sings from his feet! lol

[junaids23]

@DeDeDinah0749 hahah

[KentuckFan]

@DeDeDinah0749 LOL!

[MsSharon1031]

Adam's range is incredible not real

[MsSharon1031]

Almost 160K views & 5 haters. No one could not like this song by Adam.

[DonDiva4u03]

He sang the hell out of the song!!!

[cphunk]

The what is not ok?

[soundseeker63]

Geeeeez!!!! He can give the female divas like Aretha, Patti, Whitney, Celine etc a run for their money with his elastic vocal range and power!! Awesome is an understatement! :-o

[ItsBigmoneyBiznitch]

5 people have lost their damn minds.

[YummyLamingtons]

@ItsBigmoneyBiznitch Probably Gokey fans!

[mberanek1]

I like :57-1:13......does anyone know why?

[chibip6]

Five gajillion extra kudos for wearing a Bowie shirt while performing a Prince song!!!!!! My two favorite musicians/performers!!!!!

[MissMeMuchNow]

[Morningdew1435]

Dayum boy.

[SuperKultakala]

[RainWolf20]

"Did you guy's get desert yet? Is there desert happening? Did you- Did I get desert? Did you - did you order desert for me? Will you? You get it? Get me chocolate. Great. Good."

[Lidbud]

Seriously...why did no one rush the stage and give him a recording contract??? Amazing/

[reidgarwinsbadgirl]

That man can S-I-N-G.Yay cheers to Adam for being just plain out amazing

[Anodnnyl]

I never tire of this...Adam you are so much fun so much fun...I LOVE YOU HmmHmmn Yes I do...I agree a text message is NOT okay...BESOS...*Can I just take him home? ;-) LOL*

[MsQueenPea]

His voice is an orgasmic roller coaster ride.....

[mberanek1]

Does anyone know....did Adam have a lisp at this period of his life? I love love that boy!

[rayofsun123456]

God, he's amazing! It'a almost impossible to sing those high notes for a man!

[littlecat0908]

Does someone know how high the note was at 3:44?? He is so funny, cute and amazing at the same time!

[lundaiyo]

@littlecat0908 It's a G#5

[junaids23]

@littlecat0908 that was actually the same note that he hit at 1:28 and 1:50. and these 2 notes are actually better cuz he didnt go into falsetto that time. lol

[littlecat0908]

How high is the note at 3:44?! Omg... Does someone know that!??

[littlecat0908]

I love this one, I love Come Home and I can't make you love me. He is amazing at every genre!

[TheStarryeyed101]

I have watched this video more times that I care to admit...I love all Adam's Upright Cabaret performances. What impresses me most, well after his voice of course, is the look on the pianist's face. I read real admiration and respect there, and from a wonderful musician in his own right. There are a lot of respected singers, musicians, vocal coaches and musical experts who really see something special in Adam and I can't see any other future for him that huge success!

[hotshot2392]

For a white boy, he makes one fabulous black woman.

[babecaces34]

"Will you order me desert?? Yay!! Something chocolate." Lmao!!! Luv u Adam!!!

[DuelistofRa]

I died. Too perfect. <3

[abbysee]

That's just effing brilliant, I mean really incredible!

[godsangel777]

hr=e makes it look so damn easy to get all those notes out! such a natural.. some ppl are born with this talent and some people have to work at it... he was born with this talent!:) and i'm so getting him to become straight for me... bahahaha;)

[ashleytramanh]

so funny. Jan 1st 2009 still sang at Upright Cabaret as a small singer. Jan 1st 2010 sang at Gridlock as a STAR with his own band and own songs from debut album. Waiting for what he's gonna do next 2011 It will be great

[dia92008]

WHAT HE DID ALICIA KEYS SONG....WHAT...... NEVER HEARD THIS BEFORE.

HE KILLED IT, HE'S AMAZING. WHAT A PERFORMER HE IS, I GOT GOOSEBUMPS.

" A TEXT MESSAGE IS NOT OKAY" HAHA.

"PLEASE CALL ME BACK" .

[genome38]

@dia92008 I believe this song is by Prince, not Alicia Keys.

[Mslatrice79]

@dia92008 Actually, this is Prince's song, but Adam is singing similar to Alicia's version. Prince's version is a bit slower. Yeah, Adam killed it! He can sang!

[TheMuffintopz]

I think he said "Hello" when he walked by and looked at the camera haha lucky :) He's so cute and those high notes...oh my goodness.

[horsegerbil]

oh my gosh! :D

He's SO awesome.

"Get me chocolate." bahaha <3

[RainbowSkittlez322]

OMIGAWD THIS IS CUTE

[twilightluver530]

love love love this song

[rvRSkarma1]

Gimme your number and I will call you!!! This guy is amazing! I just hope that he is around for a long, long time! He can sing anything...and I mean anything. I was supposed to see him at the Chesaning Showboat tonight...it didn't pan out. So here I am watching him on YouTube.  But as a 55 year old woman...this man is appealing to every one who loves a good singer and a good show (and also a very good looking guy) LOL

[frederick909]

[BekahT2038]

I wish people called more all anyone does now it text.

[lilskateboardpb]

[Bjoe455]

[kmbop34]

[Moxy4ever]

@kmbop34 he wanted to but it was not on the approved list of songs...

[marjamaasdam]

I am Totaly obsessed by this man

[andani82]

@marjamaasdam me , too!! yay, Adam!!

[DannyHaleMusic]

Love Adam, He sings this particular track in a very Joplin-esque style. Which I love, he's one of the few who can sing like that...

[ikikumm]

I hate how people with this kind of talent gets easily overrun by simple performer like justin bieber

[MyAnimatedRomance]

Aww he said hello to the camera ~_^ 3:18

[standtogether11]

the high notes are making me cry. and it's not even sad. that is so abnormal.

[smdutton]

@standtogether11 its the sheer awesomeness of him!! well thats what i tell myself hehe

[3Glimpse3]

WHO THW HELL ARE THOSE 5 THAT DON'T LIKE ADAM?!

[osay00]

Holy Jayzus!!! Over sung, too technical, and rushing the vocals. That was horrid.

[reflectsonlife]

sheer perfection!

what more can you say?

[bemyguestify]

i love this more and more each time i see it. how lucky the ladies and gents in the audience were to get adam up close and personal like that. what a wonderful glorious man.

[DejaxBlue]

He is smoking hot :) What a awesome voice :)

[balletluver4eva]

could he get any more PERFECT?? gosh that smile of his is KILLING ME. he is soooo shmexy hehe. he is so talented. what a performer. he kills it EVERY time. give him any song and he can sing his face off. ahahah i LOVE HIM. ahaha i love when he talks to the audience. crazy to think of how far he has come from this night

[Squibs17]

[moshyla]

OMG!!! 4:32 - 4:44 Incredible!

[1nadineb]

So cute...is there dessert? Did you order me dessert? Could you? I need chocolate...LOL

[TrailerTrashific]

These are insane vocals, are you fucking kidding me? How was this guy not signed, and they have the likes of Rihanna (fat c*nt) and Britney Spears (fugly c*nt) making millions. This country is fucked up!

[amcas97]

love his shirt! lol.

[MsAdamLambert5]

@amcas97  whats on it? or who?

[MsSwwood]

@MsAdamLambert5 That's David Bowie. :-)

[zd1985]

@MsAdamLambert5 david bowie

[Cari9692]

OMG! that mischievous smile is killing me!!! I wanna call u right now honey!!! :) ♥ another solid performance of adam lambert ladies & gentlemen!!

[TriforceofSara]

We are so lucky these videos are up, because this kind of story is legendary. The young guy/girl who does New Year's Eve shows, but closes their eyes and dreams of a bigger stage . . . then finally gets their wish.

[frederick909]

I think he would get a call from anyone who listened to this performance!!!!!!!!Brilliant! I'm speechless, and it's not the first time I'm listening to this or to Adam

[SassiAani]

Adam sings Prince!

[suaeLee]

love ya <3

[Kumtekmeon]

Adam is pure talent!

[y0uare]

holy s**t.....that was awesome....and OMG....to stephlem89 "he is a glittery alien from planet fierce" I am so going to post that on my facebook hahah

[oneoriginalthought]

Lordy Adam you are incredible.

[colinlikeschapstick]

Freaking genius! INCREDIBLE :D :D :D

I want his next album to have a song where he does this :D

[jessiicaaa96]

LMAO, he's just in the middle of singing & he's like, "did you guys get desert yet?"

god i love him<3

[frederick909]

Man, this guy can do ANYTHING with his voice!!!!!Never heard anything like this before!!! I mean he can sing the hell out of every song, he can sing in an unique way opera, rock, jazz, soul, musicals ANYTHING!!!The only thing I haven't heard him sing yet is rap

[HNCS2006]

@frederick909 don't think he'll ever rap. but he does a cute krump XD

[XoGlitterBabyoX]

@HNCS2006 If u think his krump is cute you should see his moves ;)

[frederick909]

@HNCS2006 Oh yeah, right! He's a great dancer too by the way! And maybe we'll hear some rap shit from him some day, although with a voice like that, I wouldn't recommend! But still, I'm sure he would do a great job

[pfs113]

@frederick909 haha agreed, and let's hope he doesn't do rap, he would put eminem and lil wayne to shame.

[frederick909]

@pfs113 Ha ha ha lol! Maybe, considering he's such a talented guy

[nessamaine]

whew... hot stuff, boy... xo

[MimosaDalat11]

Bluesy Adam.... this is my most favorite Adam UC song.

[pmlwong]

[kulumunuoupu]

[blubberrobnob]

I love it. IloveitIloveitIloveit!

[bluesaway1]

Fabulous - what a set of pipes!

and LOVE the sparkly Bowie tee.. ;)

[qasfilan]

3.50-4.02 is just inhuman! o__o I can't think of anyone off the top of my head who could do the same...

[123444122]

Prince can and does. :)

[Aislinnmomma]

Right on! Love Prince and this song is one his very best. But Adam can SANG!! It's true...

[stephlem89]

IKR!? And he just whips those riffs out like they're NOTHIN'! It's insanity I tell you. He is not human. He is a glittery alien from Planet Fierce, there is simply no other explanation for it <3

[frederick909]

@stephlem89 LOL!!!You might right you know!He's too talented and too good looking for this world

[ILIATBSNY]

Holy shit, I am astonished!!!

[plaidsportcoat]

Next time he comes anyplace in norcal - I'm going for sure. Awesome voice and style, charismatic too.

[MsSwwood]

It's hard to believe this performance was just a year ago tonight. I cannot wait to see what 2010 holds for our beautiful ADAM!!!! :-D

[csereix]

And to think with almost a 4 octave range he was stuck in Hollywood's west end.

Adam....I look forward to the day when you Star in your first Broadway production. I will be there, God willing...front and center....

What talent!! Born to perform...

[Glambert345]

Happy New Years Adam! Wish I was with you at Gridlock NYE tonight.Wish I could have been with U at Upright Caffee last yr.Love U!!

[Glambert345]

Goodluck tonight at gridlock NYE!!Wish I was there and wish I had been at the upright cafee last yr. Love U !!

[kingsgirl64]

Adam is so adorable here...I can't believe this was just a year ago...He has come so far in a year,touched so many w/his Beautiful voice, drop dead gorgeous looks,Amazing personality..I just Love him!!! He is my Glam rock Hero :-)))

[homgJulie]

My favorite part is when he looks at the camera and goes, "Oh. Hello."

[actinggurl1995]

He's obviously a little tipsy. I was blown away by the vocals and laughing hysterically at the same time. It's rather weird having both happen simultaneously

But he's hilarious when tipsy :)

[129aquarius]

One year ago Adam was doing this-and it was a beautiful thing!!

[KeePtheFaitH1988]

Adam would be the BEST FU**** CHRISTMAS GIFT EVEEERRRRR!! even if it was 4 just one day...or hour...

<3 love thissssss guyyyyy <3

[mikenike1010]

the ending is the best part

[Carrots4evah]

ADAM you ROCK and for a white guy you got some SOUL Brutha

[chica044]

THis is my favorite UC video! Jeezus those vocals...the song..he's amazing. This NYE is going to be completely different!

[129aquarius]

@chica044 This is by far the best UC video-I definitely agree. Adam is so adorable when tipsy-yet he is still sexy, playful, fierce-vocally he's glorious perfection.His gestures, facial expressions, every movement he makes has me mesmerized! What a wonderful intimate setting! (And I hope he has a ball this NYE-Adam deserves all the success that comes his way and MORE!)

[timmy841212]

LOVE IT!!!! That boi better SANG! XD

[ddpro00]

ahhh. he is so sexy.

[drowsybrowser]

Can I get drunk with Adam? I mean, fierce singing aside, he's probably the funniest drunk ever.

[drowsybrowser]

Obsessed with this.

2:26 Random caressing of the piano.

4:02 Low note funny face BAHAHA.

4:39 Can't decide what to do with left leg.

Alcohol + Adam Lambert = Hysterical.

[MsSwwood]

Simple stunning vocal perfection and entertainment!

[Hfor4]

The performance is just AMAZING!! Just wished the video/sound quality quality was better.. But is better to have this than none.. lool Adam Lambert vocals are just incredible, perfect, and that range, dear god..
