I just saw Adam Lambert performing at the Kennedy Center honors a few years ago. ( I know, late to the party) He sang "Believe" to honor Cher. I watched it on U tube. It was really beautiful. Wondered if anyone else caught it.

It was the talk of the town for the night of the performance. Yes, of course I watched!

I have also seen Adam Lambert live as the Queen frontman in concert.

I have been a fan ever since he was discovered on American Idol.

Phenomenal entertainer! I always felt he should have been the winner on American Idol.

@Diva on The Q Kind of glad he wasn't. I think if he'd won he would have been locked into contracts that fettered his talant. He got Great national exposure on AI. Everyone saw him on AI Everyone loved him. He made it to the final and luckily in the end He was Free to do what he wanted. The absolute Best ending he could have hoped for imo.

@candys mine I find it weird that AI winners rarely make it big...except a few. The runner ups tend to have a bigger career. Look Kelly Clarkson, the country singer: talk show, judge The Voice and Jennifer Hudson, etc. I rarely hear about the winners.

I love Adam Lambert.

We had tickets to see his show last year in Vegas at the Venetian. I was so bummed we didn't get to go.

One day, I will see him perform live. His voice is amazing.

Adam is an awesome entertainer. His vocal range is amazing and he is the best in the business. I wanted him to win AI, he was the most talented in the competition. However, he has gone further in his career than AI could ever have taken him. I think the show realized that at the time. BTW, who was the winner that year?

Kris Allen won. Which proves the point that in most cases, they are better off NOT winning with the exception of Kelly Clarkson and Carrie Underwood.

Kelly Clarkson won the first season.

I always tuned in when American Idol first came on air. Eventually I lost interest around the Jordin Sparks time. Some winners such as Ruben Studdard, Fantasia, Taylor Hicks, Jordin Sparks.....seem to have fizzled out. It seems that some of the "losers" like Jennifer, Adam Lambert, Katherine McPhee (kinda) and Chris Daughtry have done better.

@Bri369 seeing him with Queen or in concert by himself is in my bucket list

@Rose429, I just went to watch.😭

I also have loved him ever since AI.

I think he is one of the most outstanding performers ever.

Every song he sings he puts his whole life into it.

Carrie Underwood, my favorite. I picked her from the begining.

@Shanus Kelly and Carrie Underwood were both the winners of their season.. At least some on AI have huge success. No one on The Voice on NBC has made it big except for a couple of country singers with mediocre success. That show does nothing to promote the talent they find.

Another fan here. We were talking about that song in the OP, in a thread here recently, and ITA that it's stunningly beautiful. (big Cher fan, too!)

AI really never caught on for me because I didn't like the system that turns it into a popularity contest instead of a talent contest.
