Im adding Satisfaction by Rolling Stones, first time i was like damn!! It was like watching Elvis and Freddies love child. First time he showed his extraordinary vocal technique. This would be his second performance in the results show, replace it with Feelin Good, all great so it was hard, but that was a Statement performance. 10: Beth - Kiss 9: Black Or White - MJ 8: Born To Be Wild 7. Satisfaction - Rolling Stone 6: Tracks of My Tears - Smokey Robinson 5: Whole Lotta Love - Led Zeppelin 4: Whataya Want from Me - Adam Lambert 3: A Change is Gonna Come - Sam Cooke 2: Mad World — Tears for Fears 1: Ring of Fire — Johnny Cash www.youtube.com/watch?v=nR4aGqNVcyo&feature=youtube_gdata_player |

I'm no good at playing these games, but IMO, his beautiful, masterful, stunning Mad World should always and forever be #1, no matter what else he ever sings in his lifetime.  |

So difficult to make up a top ten list of Adam's Idol performances. Partly because he gave so many amazing performances, and partly because what criteria do you use? The best vocal technique? The best interpretation/innovation? The most interesting visually? The most impressive demonstration of his upper range? The most daring? The most emotional impact? Our personal reactions to the performance? The most significant in terms of long range impact? (Then you would have to put Bohemian Rhapsody at the very top!) It's a challenge, to be sure. And how many other Idol contestants would even HAVE ten stellar performances on the show? Come to think of it, how many pop stars would have so many great performances live that one couldn't pick just ten? Just parenthetically, the "Britney Spears is lip-syncing" meme has surfaced again. An article published yesterday said that in her Vegas show, not only were you hearing a backing track instead of, or in addition to her lackluster vocals, but the backing track was actually Sia's original studio recording, not even Britney's voice. Doubt that folks will be in deep philosophical debate over HER top ten live performances.  |

Much better than the original one. But I have to make another change. I am not a fan of "Black or White". No so much the performance but not a really great song. I am replacing it with the "Aftermath" from American Idol 2011 (acoustic version) -- he also looked amazing on the performance. youtu.be/DMRudJa9CS010: Beth - Kiss 9: Aftermath - Adam Lambert 8: Born To Be Wild 7.

THAT would be a very interesting list, it should include not just AI of course... off the top of my head: BoRap (AI auditions), MW (AI), ROF (AI), WATC(AI), FYE (AMA), QAL EMAs, QAL iHeart... |

Must be feeling a little sentimental his morning, Brian May turning around at the end and then raising that red guitar that has been with him all his life? Fireworks, crazy love from the crowd? Tears. Just imagining all the feels he must be having. Lovely full circle moment, and In my mind Adam was so much a part of of it. Lovely man, rock legend, soundtrack of my life, love him. Thanks for posting that, houselady. A long and happy life to you Dr. Brian May, and thanks for the joy.

THE JAPAN TIMES
Old and new mingle sweetly at Summer SonicBY PATRICK ST. MICHELAfter Queen finished “Another One Bites The Dust” — 10 minutes before 8 p.m. on the Sunday of this year’s Summer Sonic in Chiba — hundreds of fans darted for the exits of QVC Marine Field Stadium. Security guards and staff with megaphones tried to direct them as some dashed to the left for Kraftwerk, and others hustled right for the Pixies. Quoting myself because I just realized what the article said in the beginning.. so does that mean after 4 songs into the concert, people were going off to see the other acts?? :-/ Hundreds??! Did anyone who was there notice this happening? I hope it wasn't so obvious to Adam or the band if that's true.  A few hundred people moving about in a crowd like that would not be noticeable IMO. There were thousands of people there. Think about the size of a baseball field, the field was wall to wall people plus all the people in the stadium stands. |

Mys*&@^#r, glad to oblige. I'm changing Foofy's list by deleting WATC. That was not a performance I go back to. Yes, it was great that he & KRIS were singing with Queen, but Born to Be Wild was just . . . WILD. (This is like the game of telephone. We are going to have completely different lists throughout the day.) 10: Beth - Kiss 9: Titanium - Adam Lambert duet 8: Born to Be Wild7: Feelin’ Good — Nina Simone 6: Tracks of My Tears - Smokey Robinson 5: Whole Lotta Love - Led Zeppelin 4: Whataya Want from Me - Adam Lambert 3: A Change is Gonna Come - Sam Cooke 2: Mad World — Tears for Fears 1: Ring of Fire — Johnny Cash Read more: adamtopia.com/thread/2521/best-adam-idol-performances-more?page=4#ixzz3AqJLZcVNI agree! It was definitely a milestone, but being shared with Kris does nit put it in my Top 10!  |
