I stopped watching this show when Adam didn’t win. I’ve never watched it again. Adam has the most amazing voice of anyone who has ever been on any talent show! There’s really nothing he couldn’t sing. He was obviously born to entertain with his looks, talent and charismatic personality. Performing with Queen these days and as a guest on many televised specials I think he is having the time of his life! If you haven’t heard him sing “I Believe in Love” on a special tribute to Cher you have truly missed one of the most outstanding performances I’ve ever seen. The control he has of his amazing voice is perfection. He puts so much feeling into the song and he got a standing ovation from Cher, (she was crying) and the audience of famous celebrities.

What we know about voting today says it all. He won, but other forces decided otherwise.

Adams strategy on this show was flawless. He knew when to pull back and strip it down, and when to go big or go home. He made sure to show that he could sing every genre, and made everything his own. He knew that was how you grab people’s attention. He set the bar impossibly high. Unmatched, once in a lifetime kind of talent.

Yup. It was his own concert every time he performed. And when he performed with Queen, they knew(Queen I mean ), that they found their next front man!!!

His vocal control is astounding. His upper register is placed so appropriately that it flows effortlessly. His mind is able to "hear" unique musical notes in a way few do. He is remarkable. And his looks and intense sexuality is frosting on a fabulous cake.

To be precise, Adam Lambert is not the lead singer of Queen. He is not a member of the band Queen, he is a guest of Queen when he performs with them and is always billboarded as Queen with Adam Lambert. Out of respect for Freddie, Queen will never replace Freddie with anyone else and therefore never have another lead singer in their band.

I rarely watched _American Idol,_ and as a result have not heard Adam sing until tonight. I sat for 30 minutes absolutely entranced. So rarely do you see a performer with as much x-factor as Lambert. Adam absolutely knows what he's doing every single second and it is glorious to watch. It doesn't matter one iota that he didn't win _American Idol_ because of a bunch of narrow-minded people, you can't hold fire like that down. If I didn't see it for myself, I don't think I would have believed it.

He has superb voice control, a very keen ear for tone, magnificent range, and knows when to push and when to hold back for effect. He made all songs his own with his interpretation, was never stuck in a rut, highly unpredictable with what his next notes were going to be. He breathed new life to some intolerable songs and made them very easy on the ear, and knew how to work an audience with an energy that can only be innate. A born performer, he will always be the best contestant AI would have ever known or witnessed.

Adam Lambert is amazing. He has a lot of technique, he uses a lot of mixed voice, he also has a strong and penetrating head voice, which, like the rest of his track, he has excellent dynamics and control. Oh, and without forgetting that Belting is a technical marvel of Adam!

ja, so sehe ich es auch. Ich bin über 70 und er fasziniert und rührt mich zu Tränen. Es ist, als ob etwas aus ihm herausströmt, dessen er sich vielleicht nicht einmal bewußt ist. Ein Synthese aller Musikrichtungen und Performences. Ich weiß nicht, wie ich es ausdrücken kann. Man könnte ihn auch in die Mailänder Oper stellen und er würde es meistern.

Adam Lambert is wildly successful in his own right, even today. He's currently the lead singer for one of the most successful and iconic bands of all time. No other "idol" (Kelly or Carrie included) can say that, now can they? He's exactly where everyone knew he'd eventually end up. And he deserves every bit of the accolades he still gets to this day. He's an exceptional talent and by far the most talented contestant (by any and every measure) that ANY reality show has ever seen, or will ever see again. Sorry, but it's just the truth.

He certainly did not shy away from changing up the original song and making it his own. He maintained his theatrical style in spite of Simon telling him that he was too theatrical. Amazing voice! I like that current judges on AI and The Voice encourage individuality and praise the uniqueness of each singer.

You very seldom hear a voice a gorgeous as Adam's! He has it all, tone, range, beautiful looks, personality and so much more.. He was the reason we watched Idol that year and we still cannot believe that he didn't win but looking back it didn't matter.. He is Queen's front man and that takes real talent!!!!

He is one of the best voices I have ever heard. It makes me want to cry every time I hear him sing because of the raw talent that man was born with!

Our whole family loved Adam from his first audition. He was born to be on stage and watching him light up every time he performed was a joy. He may not be the biggest name but he is definitely one of the best performers in the world. Considering that he actually pulls off fronting for Queen, well that takes some extreme confidence and talent because following Freddy is not something that can be done by just anybody.

Adam Lambert has 4 multi-platinum albums, 2 of them in first place on billboard, 3 sold out world tours, a grammy nomination, he has sung before an audience of 500 million in China, he has won 40 world awards, he is the best singer in the world, a fashion icon, a defender of human rights. With Queen he has made 6 tours with 218 shows totally sold in 42 countries before 4 million people, a # 1 album in various countries, a documentary that is the # 6 most watched movie on Netflix in the world, winner of the best band in rock in the world. So Adam Lambert is a winner his solo and with Queen shows sell out in minutes. He is doing in october a residency in Las Vegas that sold in a few hours. Adam next proyect is producing,directing and writing a rock musical and a new rock album. So he is big.

American idol has had A LOT of talented people throughout the years BUT (in my opinion) no one shined like Adam did. Every song he sang, had his own unique twist to it. Every performance was super entertaining because you could tell that he loves being on stage and giving his heart to music. Plus, his personality is like a ray of sunshine and his smile can light up the space. After his season, I lost interest in AI because no one could top him, in my eyes. He deserves the best in his career and personal life! 💕

He should have, but I am SO glad he didn't. If he had, Idol would have owned him for 7 years, before he'd have been able to go out on his own and do what he wanted. The guy who beat him? Where is HE right now? Does anyone even remember his name? If he'd gotten stuck with Idol, he may not be out there fronting Roger and Brian, keeping them young doing what they love...he can't possibly fill Freddie's shoes, but the magic and chemistry are there, and he sure is getting a young audience loving those 50+ year old songs! There's no one else alive who could do what he's doing right now!

Adam is not only vocally gifted with an INCREDIBLY range. He represents our LGBTQ+ community with class. He definitely sets an example for those in our community who are also musically gifted and need a little inspiration.

Its unbelievable this man did not win….who did? Do we even know who? By far he was the best ever on the show.

I remember i was doing my homework when the TV was on American Idol top 13.. i wasnt really watching.. but when Adam came and sang the very first note in Black or White, it really got my attention and stopped what I was doing. He was different from the other contestants, he had like that impact that leaves on you LOL. But back then I thought that maybe he's just like the other contestants that had like 1 good moment then after that nada.. but week after week he did not disappoint! and now 12 years later, still the very best!

I'm with u Rose West. I'm 75 yrs old and I can appreciate a sexy gay man. I love Adam and I watched him on American Idol and was very disappointed he didn't win. He should have but that's ok cause the other person was right he has won the world. He is beyond talented. No one can compare. God bless u Adam. I think he already has.

I totally agree with your statement at the end. His talent is unsurpassed!!!!! He is extraordinary among all of the American Idol contestants EVER!

He’s always been my favorite Idol!

Losing to A Idol was the BEST thing that ever happened to this Genius Artist. He was not even in the same League as the other Competitors - surprised the front Producers didn't see this coming. Not really fair to even enter him.

To the guy who has this channel and put this video together: Thank you! I hadn't heard many of these songs by Adam since he performed them on Idol. He is SO good and so is this video concept! 💜

All these years later and I’m still salty about him not winning when he should have!! ❤️❤️
