Voice Teacher Reacts and Analyzes: ADAM LAMBERT - BELIEVE 

Karen Castelli exactly like Freddie Mercury

@@escape0007 Sorry, but Mercury did not have a classically trained voice. Adam Lambert doesn't sound like Freddie. Lambert has much greater control over his voice and a much better technique of singing. That is not to detract from Mercury's accomplishments. Mercury was a great singer. Lambert is an extraordinary, astonishing, superb singer.

toramenor I agree, I meant like Freddie in the sense that he was not recognized in US

@@escape0007 oh, yeah, that's a different story. You're right. I feel like all the critics are now praising Freddie into the stars, but while he was alive, Queen always had to struggle against bad reviews and critics spouting their nonsense, unbelievable! Also, artists like David Bowie, etc. who should have been honoured at the Grammys but never were, I just have no words when I see some pretty mediocre artists get all the awards... In Adam's case, I think that critics mostly praise him, and he always gets good reviews for albums or performances, it's just that the general mainstream audience is kind of sleeping on how incredible he is. But hopefully that is changing, and hopefully it won't take until after he dies for people to start appreciating his talent for what it is

I would listen to Adam sing the phone book! When your version of a song brings the original artist to tears, you know there's something special happening.

ADAM and DIMASH ♥️

In the modern context Adam is in fact THE greatest singer of all time. Check out him singing this arrangement (his own, even in 2009) in the workups before he’d even made it into ‘IDOL’. A masterclass from a singer with no equal. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-7pdrfqJ4NL0.htmlsi=A1kp88H-etkUzBom

MalsDoxy Glambert Adam IS brilliant but I also believe Brendon Urie is up there with him. Brendon can do every genre too

@@soniachapple3141 To be honest, Adam is unreachable

@@soniachapple3141 Adam Lambert is a better Singer and performer than Urie. Adam has expert control over his instrument, producing notes that are well supported, and achieved via great technique. He is capable of singing complex melisma and is able to hold notes for periods of time without wavering in pitch or tone, seemingly effortlessly. Besides, Adam uses more full and mixed voice in the High notes and Urie uses more falsettos in the High notes.

@@soniachapple3141 Adam is extremely versatile. Adam is able to sing in various musical styles like lyrical (classical music) "Brigadoon", Dance music "Lay me Down", Funk and Jazz music, Pop, Rock Underground "Citizen Vein", Rock (Led Zepplin, Queen, Rolling Stones, Aerosmith, Elvis Presley ) and many others ...

Urie is a fan of Adam Lambert.

I've always said that him not winning was the biggest failure of the show but the best thing for his career. He got the publicity from being there but not locked into their contract obligations. sold twice as many albums as Kris Allen plus doing the other bands.

Glad you find the analysis helpful.

@@JohnHennyVocalStudio you also know when you stop at a point, it's that you explain why and you go back so then we see or should I say hear the whole run of the vocalist. Thank you for being aware of us..love your passion. Happy New Decade!! ; )

It took Kelly Clarkson 17 years to get out from under her Idol contract so he’s much better off having not won. He’d probably still be pigeonholed.

It's amazing to see someone with that much talent in a small venue. He really should be selling out arenas.

@@HarlemRain75 Adam is selling out arenas as Queen + Adam Lambert 💓

Yeah, he did the ballad version for Hollywood week.

American Idol 2009 season 8.

@bluedaizee24 thanks for mentioning that performance. I just watched it, and it was great to see Adam so relaxed and having fun.

Glad you enjoyed it!

Adam is also a very rare talent, both are incredible, the top can have more than two people

He did better by not winning. He avoided the A.I. curse and can sing and do anything he wants. Totally killing it with Queen, and successful in his own right!

@@xxx-il9dv Totally Agree!!

I've listened to this so many times & have teared up every single time.

I’m pretty sure it was planned.. If he had won 1st place, he probably would be locked to a contract for a lot of years to come... I believe Queen already had eyes on him. I may be wrong, but I really don’t think so. I can’t even remember the other guy’s name, and have never heard of him ever since. I believe they had other plans for Adam

AIS8 was rigged. It's documented on QUEEN and Adam Lambert's 2019 The Show Must Go On NETFLIX movie he wanted to win.

I agree

You’re so right! And I love how damned theatrical he is. His face when he pulled that earpiece out. That little look he gives the crowd for a second, like, ya’ll ready for this? The fact that he did it on “there’s no turning back,” because he knew by that point the whole room was under his spell. That he was taking them on a journey. He’s aware of exactly how amazing he is. And, somehow, he also manages to never miss! There’s a fine line between confidence and over-confidence, but I’ve never seen him cross it. Never seen him falter. It’s kinda miraculous. He doesn’t just sing. He sells the song, AND manages to make you forget that’s what he’s doing. So you’re just lost in the moment. Knowing he knows what he’s doing, and just grateful he’s doing it. I’ve never seen someone so professional, so seasoned and perfect, and yet so able to connect as well. And he’s also absolutely fearless. He gets the emotion, and still manages to be flawless somehow. All that competence and confidence, backed up by just massive talent and a real, genuine joy in performing. He’s a gift from the Angel of music, for sure!

@@odile8701 OMG, ANGEL OF MUSIC. Adam Lambert would kill that song. I remember his PHANTOM of the OPERA costume when he was a child. I love that Musical. I 💕AdamLambert💞

@@odile8701 When I saw his performances on AIS8, I realized he was subtly gaging the judges and audience reactions. I think that has evolved and became one of his great assets in live performance. He engages and takes his audience into musical journey. With his musicality coupled with his kind heart and loyalty, I'm not surprised people are enamored by him.

@@odile8701 WOW! That was one of the most perceptive comments that I have ever read about Adam's amazing talent. I have been "lost in the moment" in Adam's music for over 12 years, and I hope I stay lost forever!

@@odile8701 2:39 I really wish Adam would see your comment. You truly captured the essence of his talent and I got emotional thinking about how touched he would be by your insight. You know Cher tweeted that night that she couldn’t quite find the words to express how moved she was by his performance, and then 3 weeks later, she tweeted while on a flight saying that she’s still in awe of him and what he did with the song was beyond comprehension. What a compliment from an icon and legend. Think about how many dance remixes of this she’s heard. Better yet think about how many times she’s performed this song and the use of auto tune in her version just as a stylistic effect, because it was new at the time. He flipped the script on the emotions of the song in a heart-felt ballad of realizing one’s self worth. Beyond performing, he takes you on a journey and has such control that when he unleashes and lets you have it - you’re shook and gobsmacked. I love that Cher gave him permission to record his arrangement of Believe. Anyway, thanks again for a great analysis on Adam Lambert!

In China,actually, Adam is regarded as the best male singer in the world today.

MasiaDe A lot of people that have seen the most recent Queen concert say he’s awesome. They do say he’s not the showman that Freddie mercury is and he doesn’t have the same voice, but he has had medical lessons when he was a teenager. I love his solo work, too!

@@pearlcheung9263 Is it actually true? How is Adam famous in China???

Buy and have a listen to his new EP #VELVETSideA. This is Adam's newest release, co-written by him. Adam has said that this is the music he has always wanted to put out. It's his groove. Then go on RU-vid and look up his recent shows from Foxwoods and the Bowery, New York. Start there and enjoy! Adam is simply the best 💚

Now he has an Album, 4th..VELVET.
