It's nice he wanted to sing Adam's song...but...oooooo...a little off key in spots. No one can do it like Adam. :)
He certainly had a lot of enthusiasm and energy, but not the voice. Although Pink wrote this song and others may perform it, Adam really owns this song and there will always be a comparison. I'm glad that Jimmie Allen liked the song enough to perform it. funbunn40
Nice try buddy! But nobody can sing WWFM as good as Adam.
I can't wait to go out nightclubbing some day and the band does one of Adam's song.
Kudos to Jimmy Allen. He is at least another fan and I give him a lot of credit for that.

Ouch my ears hurt!!!
nice try and thanks for loving Adams song....
This is a fairly difficult song - ask my hubs, he tried it at karaoke and soon dropped out! It just kept getting higher and higher in pitch, much more than he realized! But as for Jimmy, hey, good attempt! Keep working on it! Don't give up!
If I mute the viedo, I would think he is doing a dance rapping song. Nice attempt.
Just makes you want to hear the original, wonderful Adam.
Pitchy, dawg. ;-) But more power to him for making the attempt.
I really happy that this boy knows this song
But his fucking Nashville accent is terrrible.
I just want to shut his mouth down.
"What do you wont from meaeaeae?"
Adam is only one who can sing this song. May they can try to do it on fucking AI addictions with fucknig Steven Taylor.
Hello, Nashville! "What do yau woooooont froooooooooooom meauauaua"
I think this is fucking disscussing.
This is has to be a legend before anybody has to even to sing it!
OMG, he sounds horrible... excuse me.. LOL
S10 - my fav contestant so far is Chris Medina :-)
Nice try but .... 'whataya want from meh' and 'you're doing it perfectleh'!!
Nothing compares with BB's version.
Ooh dear. LOL Nice try mate. But it's much more difficult than you think eh :)
OK, that was painful.
Adam's going to be one of those artists whose songs others attempt to cover at great peril. Kind of like the Whitney/Mariah songs- no matter how decent of a job anyone does they will never ever measure up. With extremely talented vocalists of this caliber the audiences minds always seem to go to the original and thus find the cover lacking.

Think he did a decent job and I liked his energy but no one can compare to Adam.
As a native Nashvillian I highly resent the Nashville accent comment.Let me tell ya' somethin sweet thang,Adam is huge in this town because we know extraordinary talent when we hear it and while I admit Jimmie was off key he was reflecting the admiration this city has for Adam. Unbekownst to much of the world, Nashville has had an amazing underground rock/goth/ glam scene for decades...Kesha and Paramore are no different than dozens of known and unknown artists living and working in this small entertainment focused town. So lay off the accent insults ,OK?
I can't imagine why any one would be foolish enough to attempt to sing an Adam Lambert cover.
WE think sweet Adam would feel honored listening to this guy. OK, he doesn't have a great voice but so what? He certainly tried his best, just needs to work it out a little more. Don't we all?
About the accent... WTF people? Aren't you part of a «whole nation»? We have many different accents in Brazil (it's a continental sized country like America) speaking Portuguese but each one of its regions owns a different but beautiful language. Even Portugal, such a small country, has many different accents; people in the continent speak totally different if compared to people in Azores, where WE live. WE have 9 islands here, each one with a different own accent.
What about a foreigner accent? Wouldn't you Glamberts(?) be proud of listening to people from other languages singing sweet Adam's songs? WE ARE! What about Japanese people saying sweet Adam's name «Adam Rambato»? We think it's lovely!!!

So sorry about some comments above. I loved Nashville when I (Fan4fun) spent there a whole week, including the Fourth of July, with my texan friends in the 80's! Beautiful city, very nice people for sure... and Nashville gave me a precious gift: a female cat called Agatha who was crazy for your country music, even living in Brazil.
feb7:56am, thanks for your post and the accent stuff is rude.I hope you do not feel all Glamberts feel like this.We don't.

Oh, glamshit! Forgive OUR mistake about the time you posted. Our comment above (9:50AM) is at YOU! Why don't you get a tag and become a «regular» in 24/7 «Paradise» land??? A Nashvillian Glambert would be very welcome here, believe US.
OT...Love Nashville and married a southern gentleman with 2 southern boys that melted my heart with their southern accents and manners. We did however have a years long friendly disagreement on the meaning of a toboggin. As a Chicagoan, it meant a type of sled. My husband and the boys insisted it was a hat. In Tennessee I was always outnumbered, but Chicago being a much larger city supported my arguement! lol Love y'all! funbunn40
WWFM is a difficult song to sing. It sounds very easy when Adam does it so when you hear someone else try it is very often a bit painful. I think this young man has the passion and a proper mic to go with the voice.
