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.

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.

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!

Seems like there isn't anything Adam Lambert cannot do. He is a total surprise package every darn time he shows up and performs. Theater, rock, pop, and just about anything else can be sung by this octave-gifted super star. Tour videos explode with originality and excitement. How he managed to keep out of site while being right in front of of us all those years is the big question. But luckily, he has arrived.

I love theater so, buying this was a natural for me. He outshines all others in this production for sure. I also love rock, pop, etc. so, this is one singer who will be able to throw it all up in the air and make something wonderful out of it when it comes down.

This song is not something that is part of his current repertoire but it is part of his personal singing history, while on the way to becoming a world wide star after his huge breakthrough on American Idol.

It's just kind of fun to be able to follow his musical history along while watching him explode onto the current music scene right now. His new CD will no doubt leave all the old songs behind while he looks ahead to chart new music courses while shaking things up because he's a forward looking artist who gets better every time he takes those creative leaps. But his legacy of past music (and musicals) are still worth listening to--because he is THAT good!

Very rarely does someone come along who has the talent, VOICE, stage presence, looks and personality--ADAM LAMBERT. He is the ultimate talent. Bravo Adam. Cant wait for your road tour. I'm a grandmother and you absolutely wow me everytime.
American Idol--hmmm. I dont think so. xxxx

Adam Lambert stole the show when it appeared in L.A. I heard about the show--not good at all,except for one singer, who was phenomenal--but didn't see it myself. Now I've seen it , on tape, and listen to this song quite a bit. I'm sorry now that I missed the live performance of the Ten Commandments. Trust me, I won't be missing any more of Adam Lambert's performances. He is gifted and knows what to do with it--in other words, a genius. Adam is very attractive in the video of the show. A reviewer here wrote to ignore the cover art, which I thought was funny. He's cuter in the video than the cover art indicates, but I think he looks pretty good there too.

If you love Adam Lambert as much as I do,and enjoy his voice, buy this, because this song will definitely blow you away!! His vocals on "Is Anybody Listening" are the best that I have ever heard Adam Lambert sing. He is truly amazing singing this song; so if you liked what you heard on American Idol &/or liked what you heard on the AI tour, then purchase this -you will be amazed!!

Yes Adam. Someone is listening and they sent us YOU! Music touches our souls and so does your voice. I've seen how you have touched the hearts and souls of so many of us from age 6 to 96. THANK YOU.

Un-Be-Lievable. On a scale of 1 to 5, this performance merits a 10.

You MUST hear this song, whether or not you are already an Adam Lambert fan.

To hear him only on American Idol is to miss all the other facets of his talent. To have never heard him at all borders on tragic.
As a rock star, he is incomparable and charismatic, for sure - but this song taps even more fully into his ability to wrench emotional response from his audience. He is fully in touch with his heart and soul when he performs, and he will get you in touch with yours as well.
Anyone who listens to this performance and feels nothing is made out of granite.
Spend the money for the download; you will never regret it.

I have never ever been a fan of musical theater - but no matter what Adam tackles, it instantaneously becomes cool and appealing. This is a legend in the making people, and you better jump on the band-wagon not to miss a single beat of Mr. Lambert's greatness.
