I was not an American Idol fan but caught Adam Lambert while flipping channels and my mouth dropped open. I always thought that show was so high-school musical but seeing that quality/level of talent was so shocking and like Kara said-it was all crazy and confusing too! I had the same feeling when I first saw David Bowie.

I have downloaded all of his songs and since they were done in a studio-it's professional quality. My husband (a musician) who would have had to be tied-up, gagged and forced at gunpoint to listen to this type of music (or watch AI) is blown away with Adam's rendition of "One" and has said Adam's version it's better than Bono's . There is something for everyone in the Lambert line-up.

Kara's song -"No Boundaries" is a load of you-know-what BUT Adam Lambert gives the song credibility. It's doubtful he would have ever chosen a song like that but he is so professional that he sings it like he loves it and Kara owes him a huge thank-you. (Poor Kris looks like he has just been stabbed while singing this song.)

Looking forward to more great music and performances from Adam Lambert.

It takes a talent like Adam to breathe listenability into this tedious tune. With Adam on vocals, this song is steadily growing on me. I didn't even bother with any other versions - this is the ONE for me - I will be supporting him all the way!!!!

This is a song that Adam had to sing as one of the two finalists, and as a song it is only OK at best, lame at worst. But just like he did all season on American Idol, Adam transforms this song and makes it so much more than it was before. At first I felt sorry that he had to sing it, but now I really like it, because of the way he sings it. He has such a tremendous range, and he has that skill that cannot be taught of putting real emotion into his voice. He is awesome! I voted for him over 150 times. Due to much of America's narrow mindedness and lack of taste, he didn't win as he deserved to, so maybe he's not officially the American Idol, but as far as I'm concerned, to quote the song he sang with Queen, he is the "Champion Of The World"!!!!

Adam can sing circles around Kris Allen and this single is no exception. He transforms this song into a classic pop hit. He takes it notches above the Kris's mediocre performance of it and anyone who listens can hear it.. I own the entire Adam Lambert songbook so far, and I love it! I can't wait for his debut album!!!!

The man can sing. Period. He can change octaves effortlessly and always sounds good no matter what song he interprets and sings. He made American Idol Season 8 stand out and the judges believed him to be the best singer in the competition and one of the best contestants ever on the show. It was interesting to see Carlos Santana reach over to him before his song and Brian May play to him during Queen's song on the finale--not to mention the show-stopping Kiss song and the praise heaped upon Adam from the artists afterwards. Anyone who listened to this particular song done by both Adam and Kris had to feel bad for Kris, who just does not have Adam's gifted voice--not his power or vocal range. Young girls and haters may feel otherwise but they are merely young girls and haters and should not be confused with objective judges.

Adam should have without a doubt should have won this season over Kris Allen. On this track he takes an awful song and turns it into something beautiful. I wish him all the luck in the future.

I've never watched AI before, but just because everybody kept talking about Adam Lambert and Kris Allen, so I decided to watch the Finale. I found Kris Allen is a talented singer, but Adam Lambert is a STAR! I downloaded this song both from Kris Allen and Adam Lambert, and I LOVE Adam's version much better! Rock on, Adam! You're brilliant!

We all know Adam Lambert should've won American Idol but a part is happy he doesn't have to sing this song on every t.v. show. No Boundaries is beyond cheesy but thanks to Adam's stellar voice - I really don't mind because he can turn any song into a classic. Adam's range is amazing!!!! Probably the best Idol contestant since Kelly Clarkson. I am looking forward to purchasing his debut album, his song on iTunes are definitely worth purchasing as well, wonderful studio tracks especially Mad World and A Change is Gonna Come. Adam keep rockin' and I'll keep buying!

I have this song in my playlist of Adam's songs. I love it. It does grow on you! Yes it is somewhat cheesy; but if it inspires you, then it should not matter what anyone else thinks. Adam is a class act. At the press conference after the finale, Adam defended this song when reporters tried to make fun of it. Adam said that the song was difficult to sing live and that it had great lyrics. He said that he had wished that he and Kris had more time to rehearse it; but he wanted everyone to hear the studio version of the song. I love this studio version! Some say that this song does not suit Adam. But this song (with its lyrics) actually does somewhat fit Adam's journey. In an interview, Adam had said that when he was in the cast of "Wicked" he grown dissatisfied with where he was at in his career and had wondered if this was all there was. The feelings and sentiment are actually reflected in this song. Listen to the lyrics again (Adam is always into the lyrics). Adam has a gift of expressing the emotions of a song so that you are taken on a journey with him; that even after the song is over, the emotions stay with you. Now that is talent!

I am one of the very fortunate ones to have been able to follow Adam's journey on American Idol week after week from his audition on. The only reason I watched it was because he was on the show, vowing to stop should he get voted off. That being said, I love the way he sings this song and I believe that only he can sing this song the way it was meant to be sung. I'm sorry, but the other version PALES in comparison. Only a consummate talent with his vocal range could do this song justice. He does not SCREECH, he SINGS in an extremely high register that only people who know music can understand & he does it BEAUTIFULLY on this song. I can hardly wait for the CD and have signed up for Amazon to notify me when it becomes available and I urge others to do the same. You won't be sorry.
