When you play a cover that makes the original singer cry...

The Kennedy Center Honors, named for president John F Kennedy is an annual honor given to those in the performing arts for their lifetime of contributions to american culture. Cher was being honored in 2019 and Adam was asked to perform for her. It was magnificent!! Made Cher cry and she tweeted about it for weeks after. Reba and a few others were being honored that year and each had performers sing for them.

When Adam joins the stage you know it's about to change history. His voice is incredible.Totally changed arrangement & killed it. I would listen to him sing the phone book.

This proves Adam can do anything. He can take a disco song and turn it into a ballad. He did this song as a ballad on pledge week of American Idol.

Our boy Adam, took a up beat song like Believe and turn it into a slowed down ballad with a beautiful arrangement and made you listen to the raw emotion of these lyrics, I get goosebumps listening to this performance! Adam got a standing ovation by doing Cher’s song justice! I click anytime I see Adam Lambert he’s amazing!

He hands down should have won American Idol! All of his performances were great and he changed them up and made them his own....all are worth watching 👍🤗

you know you were amazing when the original singer is brought to tears by your performance.

His voice is simply enchanting. Also love his cover of Mad world for the Global Citizen - together at home. Truly a talented artist.

Love Adam, so glad he found life with Queen!!

I've watched this video over & over! Just can't get enough of everything Adam can do. His voice does it all! I also appreciate an artist who makes a point to breathe loudly into the mic! Let's you know the mic is live & the artist isnt just lip syncing to a recording. Adam also did the main song for the movie 2012 with Nicolas Cage. The song is called "Time for Miracles". Another beautiful ballad by Adam.

I agree wholeheartedly, when he took that earpiece out he knew he was in the zone.

His version is just amazing. Loved the slow down of this song. He's also the front man with Queen on tour!! Another good one from him..."What do you want from me"

Superb! Its with excellent reason that Brian May calls Adam the GFG (Gift from God)!

Adam killed it with this version of Believe! He is my favorite vocalist of all time so thanks for this reaction.

Adam Lambert is a GREAT gift to any song! His voice is God's gift to us.

This man right here... I have no words!!! I have loved him since the first word came out of his mouth on American Idol!!!! And to see Cher so proud of Adams cover of her song must have been been an amazing feeling, he brought her to tears!!!

The Kennedy Honors have some of the best covers you'll ever. Kelly Clarkston doing Fancy, Heart doing Stairway to Heaven, Adam and Believe. So many excellent performances.

He is the best singer on this planet. I knew it since he was on American Idol. :)

My whole body gets covered in hives when Adam sings, he’s just so amazing!

I became an Adam Lambert fan the day i heard his cover of black or white by MJ. And then his cover of The Tracks of my Tears cover by the great Smokey Robinson.... Adam is an amazing, super talented performer.

Adam's performance gave me chills! It was beautifully done!✌❤

One of my favorite covers ever, he nails it.

Billy, your face when Adam put the STANK on this song was PRICELESS! 😆 I do have another Adam Lambert reaction request if you'd be so kind. His cover of George Michael's One More Try. Thanks! Love ya dude! 💋

I've only seen this once before today and I didn't realize he made Cher cry! That's how you know you killed it!

Adam is the best!😻💜💜💜💜♾

I love this performance by Adam. I love him.

What a beautiful rendition

It’s been a year and I still can’t stop listening to it!

I just loved Cher’s reaction to that long note and her lips trembled like she done seen a ghost... loved her reaction to that

This is the most amazing version I have ever heard.

HE IS AMAZING! Love everything he sings!

I love how you really listen and appreciate the performance you are watching!!

Adam is AMAZING performer and Singer..

He also now is the front man in Queen.

Glamberts United!! He has such an amazing voice!

You HAVE to react to Closer to you! He is awesome!!

Thank you great reaction to our Adam request another song Queen/Adam Love Kills at the forum Los Angeles it was written by Freddie and one you probably have never heard FANTASTIC

ADAM PERFECT. I LOVE!!

@Billyyousocrazy The Kennedy Center Honors is an annual honor given to those in the performing arts for their lifetime of contributions to American culture.

To have Cher feel that and to get her to give you a standing ovation is saying you did justice to her song!!!!!!

I can listen to him all day

Yayyy! Thanks @billyyousocrazy!!! I love that Adam could take a pop song and make it a ballad - and made Cher cry(and she was first to her feet for the standing ovation!) Thanks for all you do! Hope to see a live stream soon! #socrazyfam

I love how he impressed cher and had her in tears

I love Adam Lambert ❤ I think his voice is amazing. Listen to Whatdoya want from Me, or, If I Had You. I'd actually love to see you react to that last one. HE MADE CHER CRY! OMG!

She said "oh wow" 😂

Cher's version was more upbeat and techno, but I absolutely love Adam's version. It really made you get the feels!

Your right that song by Cher was a upbeat song, Adam took it and stripped it down to a ballot with a beautiful full orchestra with a beautiful arrangement! He makes you really listen to the emotional meaning of the lyrics and what Adam does beautifully in this song is he just slowly builds the song all the way thru! I love ❤️ Adam’s version of this the best! You should react to a younger version of Adam doing Dust In The Wind and also there is a fantastic duet he does with Leona Lewis on a song called Girl Crush if you love his Believe than you’ll love these two song! Look forward to anything you do with Adam Lambert, thanks! Kennedy Honor’s is the annual honor given to the performing arts 🎭 for there lifetime of contributions to American culture!

Adam is so magical 💜💜💜

This is a beautiful version. Lambert knocked this performance out of the park.

That IS Adam Lambert. You should watch videos from when he was on American idol. Really great.

This one and Kelly Clarkson covering 'Fancy' are a couple of my favorite KC honors performances ever. the goosebumps are no joke I swear

Now, you should do Cyndi Laupers Turn Back Time. She rocked. The house.

The two best performances that year was his and Kelly rendition of Fancy, which was mind blowing and showed how powerful her voice is.

Kennedy Center Honors are given every year for lifetime achievement in the arts and is funded by the Kennedy Family as in John F Kennedy.

Kelly Clarkson performed Fancy at the same show, you should check it out.

He made Cher cry! That’s her song- she was an honoree.

This night was a tribute to Cher and that's why she was crying

By the way you can buy this version with Adam on I-tunes, I brought it, love ❤️ Adam!

Great Reaction! You Should React To Queen+Adam Lambert In Singapore “The Show Must Go On” And Also Adam’s Cover Of “One More Try” They’re Amazing! 😉

Him and Cyndi Lauper also did a duet for this Kennedy center. Reba and Cher and a bunch of people were inducted into the Kennedy center honors.

Keneddy Center honors the arts ..have this every year..this was Cher Reba and Hamilton Broadway

Like your honest reaction both ;jamal and you my favs

Adam's great

You should do reaction first Who Wants to Live Forever from Isle of Wight 2016 with Queen. Insane vocals.

Oh wow, thank you for this reaction, I didn't know he could sing like that!

Sooo good!!!

Welcome to the world of Adam Lambert

The Kennedy Center Honors is my favorite time of year! It honors those in all aspects of the entertainment industry from news to big and small screen to music to theater. It’s once of the greatest honors an entertainer could get. Norman Lear’s was amazing and made me cry. The Who’s was SPECTACULAR!!! It’s awesome and there are so many to look at and see the contributions of the honorees to the entertainment industry.

He’s had a couple of good teachers

Love that you did this as I’ve grown to love this performance. Now you have to do Kelly Clarkson’s “Fancy” to Reba on the same time. Kelly’s speech is so cute and humble and she kills it! If you love Melissa you need to check our Reba’s show Reba as they were a great duo and became real life friends. Plus the bloopers are funny as Reba came from a rodeo and singing background and had figure out acting and remembering lines (they often had her lines writen Around the set).

Great suggestion Cat!

Keep up the great work on your channel 👍 keep hustling

Please, please, please! Check out Adam Lambert singing "Who Wants To Live Forever' with Queen, any one of the live performances. Isle of Wight was a good one. You won't be the same after that. ✌️

Ella Henderson was a contestant on UK Xfactor years ago. She sang a version of this that kind of started the whole "slowed-down" style for this song. Her performance is 100% worth checking out.

he can sing and this is a beautiful rendition!

Adam’s Always Amazing! 💖

Well this song was always meant to be a bit more emotinal een though the track we all kno is so upbeat; she had written this song, in memory of Sonny Bono. Adam absolutely blew this performance out of the water, and Cher was- as you could see- in tears.

Check out him singing, Mad World😉

Adam can change up any song and make it his own. Flawless

Go back a few years and listen to the Dells! I think you will appreciate another voice. The Dells on SOUL! LIVE -complete performance- 1972

Spider from the masked singer sang this in her third performance.

Reba was an Honoree as well. Check put Kelly Clarkson singing Fancy. She was a nervous wreck, Reba is her Mother In Law and Kelly had never performed the song. It was amazing!

Later-on in the concert CindyLopper is called-out for A little fibb........ If we could turn back time!

🖤🖤

The lady from baby daddy also acted in Rebas' show called Reba that was on the CW and The WB

It’s the 4:44 ‘Lin Manuel Miranda gobsmacked’ moment for me

Hey billy its me again, love Adam Lambert...and I love your channel...and I'm posting again in hopes you react to Ray Stevens "Ain't sitting up with the dwad no more."

Adam loves to change the song for himself. Cher got on Twitter and told him she never heard it sung like that she loved it.

I never really watched Baby Daddy but I love Melissa Peterman on Reba. Her character Barbara Jean was a mess , just so damn funny. 😂😂

Fun fact: This song, Believe, was the very first song to use autotune in 1998... The original singer is the woman, the myth, the legend, the Queen herself: Cher.

These Days by SafetySuit. It’s amazing

The woman from baby daddy is also from Reba. I’m sad they weren’t sitting together honestly.

I have searched and not found where anyone has reacted to Adam singing "Time for Miracles" please react to it, it is timely with our streets in chaos our country in a world of hurt and that useless person sitting on his devisive a** in DC. arghhhh please we need it

I think everyone knows Cher's version and enjoys it, but when Adam did this version, he made it more than a club anthem. It became a ballad about realizing self worth. His version SLAYS me.

Enjoying your content!! If you want to hear some impressive vocals, you should check out Josh Weathers' live performance of Whitney Houston's version of "I Will Always Love You". He's amazing!!

You should check out Heart's performance of Led Zeppelin's Stairway to Heaven at the Kennedy Center honors Led Zeppelin.

If you want a laugh watch Jon Stewart honor Bruce Springsteen at the Kennedy Center Honors. Very funny!
