5.0 out of 5 stars Adam can sing the phone book and the world will listen, May 23, 2009

I found this song as a video originally on a video web site and loved seeing Adam's theatrical side (he made the so called 'star' of the production look absolutely wooden by comparison. Adam obviously has had extensive training (unlike many of his idol companions) and I love hearing his control and powerful voice. This is an excellent example of the breadth of his talent. He can rock and still move us with his emotional delivery on stage.

5.0 out of 5 stars Very Few Have The Gift, June 20, 2009

Once in a few decades does someone show up with such a gift. Or has there really ever been such a person? Blessed with not just the technical skills but also the discipline, creativity and versatility. I can't remember any. Bowie only without Adam's spectacular voice. Madonna's sorta creativity without his skill and vocal work, Freddy with an untrained smokers voice that didn't last very long who lacked vision for the showmanship. Chuck Berry's groundbreaking uniqueness. Elvis's charisma... No. Nobody had it all like Adam Lambert does. Perhaps he's lacking writing talent I don't know nor do I care...but I'm quite sure he can tweak and co-write. He "has ideas" as he cutely announced during AI tryouts. And proved that he sure did.

After years of devotion to his craft and love, Adam Lambert proves himself superior to any other recent "pop" star in memory. let alone no other AI performers can hold a candle to him to the point where it was embarrassing to watch them. The Gift as seen in Celine Dion pipes, blended with the Pavarotti skill and commitment, mixed with Freddy, Roy Orbison and Robert Plant with a touch of Grace Slick and Joni Mitchell. Pure and authentic.

People who love and respect their art WORK at it. They just don't show up at a football stadium one day and ask to be on t.v.

Adam Lambert's time has come. It's up to him to use it properly. He should be shooting for performances like this one, Shir Lashalom, Ring of Fire, Mad World, Feelin Good...not that dopey Gaga techno no skill required dance tunes. Very few vocalists/performers can make you cry, I hope he aspires to be more than what is being advertised...we have enough Gagas, Fergies and other mediocre overproduced so called artists as it is tyvm.

I hope Adam Lambert is a new type of high profile entertainer who manages to be accepted for being true to himself, his love of role playing different genres, genuine and kind as he seems and above all the pitfalls of fame. He deserves it. Versus the stupid "contrived" "rock star" persona that were more loser than creative. (Ozzie and Mic, love ya but we want positive energy now). Thinking Bowie of today. But one who is not ashamed to admit he wants to entertain and smile and be a nice guy along with it.

By the way, buy this track. Get the dvd, watch the performance. Incredible. Try not to be in shock that he's the only one you'll hear or want to see.

5.0 out of 5 stars ONCE AGAIN A STAR IS BORN!!, June 2, 2009

I am in total agreement with the other two reviews of this song. I, too, found this video on another website and couln't help going back to it again & again. The vocal control and range of Adam's voice is AMAZING! He has the ability to reach any note and does it superbly. I like this song so much that I bought the DVD from Amazon, also. THE TEN COMMANDMENTS the MUSICAL. I am impatiently waiting for it to come. I urge others to do the same. It's only a small part (should have been bigger) but it is worth watching him. He does a GREAT JOB!
