love this cover very much.
This man can sing ANYTHING, make it sound perfect and make it his own. Amazing. I've seen many comments and tweets about this performance and they are ALL positive about Adam's version of this song and his amazing talent. I'm, once again, in awe of him, his versatility and how he never ceases to amaze me.
Whoa! Sexy Adam! Late Amy Winehouse sings this kind of jazzy sexy songs really well. Maybe Adam should do more covers of this genre; it really fits him and I'm getting a bit hooked on this kind of music...it's actually his groove in my opinion. :)
Lam-my
ADAM can sing any song, any genre.
Actually, with his musicality and knowledge and appreciation of music, if only possible, ADAM is the only judge Idol needs. LOL!

Don't know bout the rest of you, but I'm about to burst.
I want to hate him for what he makes me feel about myself, but I have to love him for that same reason...HE make me feel, again.

I love this! I was at Summerthing when Adam sang Donna Summer's "Hot Stuff" and then there was all of Queen's stuff and now this. Is there anything he can't sing? I think not.
Well said PRS
M
I love this, its so laid back but so sexy at the same time, and he justs glows, and looks so happy...
"glows ..." He is glowing, well said
Doing cover songs kill artist's career very fast. Selfishness is the Reason We Suffer. Each baby step and Adam Lambert will have a back log of songs to do. I pray hard that Adam Lambert stay away from cover songs. Once in moon blue is ok. But you are not really not a fan of Adam Lambert if you want him as a copy cat. Let him be his own person. Not some one else.
@PRS
All I can add to your comment is: Yes, Yes, YES!!!
@MGF
I'm right there with you... >--->-O On the floor...
I loved this fun, sexy, happy cover so much....And as everyone everywhere (with on notable exception here..ahem..) said, he is just glowing with love and happiness. Pretty sure this song was sung with Sauli in mind....Thank you Sauli for making Adam the happiest man on earth...
well I have to disagree with 11:53 I think he can do cover songs wonderful. H
e sang cover songs on idol & with Queen so what is your problem? He sang it amazing very sexy every singer sings cover songs at times. As long as Adam sings I don't care what he sings I will listen.
I love how Isaac always watches Adam intensely as he plays the bongo !:) very much intuned!!!:):):)
@Anon 11:53 PM
Gosh, Adam only does covers once in awhile, when the mood strikes..I don't know why one comment here suggesting he do more covers on occasion suddenly would make that person, or anyone else who might suggest it, less of an Adam Lambert fan. Sheesh. Of course it doesn't!! Anyone who appreciates Adam's vast store of talent and his musical virtuosity across so many genres of music IS a "true Adam Lambert fan.."..
So, please, let's not put restrictions on what Adam himself chooses to sing, be it his own expanding body of work (still early in his career, for heaven's sake!) or his fabulous and perfectly sung with his own special touch, "covers" of other classic and timeless music. I personally think this was his little gift to his partner Sauli...and consequently, to us, his very appreciative and oh, so fortunate, fans ...
Adam is ALWAYS "his own person" and that's one of the things I SO admire about him..And I have no doubt he will always surprise us (just like he said he would in his Idol audition: "I will surprise you..") from time to time with gems like his joyful cover of "Is This Love?", not to forget the unexpected and ultimately classic Adam Lambert Fantasy Springs version ("cover", but oh, what a cover it was!! ) of "Whole Lotta Love" ..Both are stunning......and oh, so HAPPY/SEXY "Adam originals". I hope you can just sit back and enjoy....I know I have, and have been doing that since 2009....And I know I'll enjoy whatever else he decides to grace our ears (and eyes..) with in the future.. I can hardly wait!!! As Sauli says "YAY!!!" ; )))
I WAS THERE & ADAM WAS PHENOMENAL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! See photos of the whole show here .....

Adam talks idol, Olympics and tattoos:

P.S. This was pretty much an acoustic event. Yes, both guitars, keyboard & Isaac beating on a "box" (can't think of the name of it at the moment. Brain is still wired from last night's performance). It was almost an R'n'B bluesy reggae performance of all the songs - not quite but close. He sang ....
Trespassing
Shady
Kickin' In
Whataya Want From Me
Is This Love
Naked Love
Cuckoo
The audience went WILD - don't think Adam was quite expecting that but LOVED it .... we Aussie Glamberts ADORE Adam!!!!!!!!!!!
Before the show when we were all queuing up outside the venue, Adam was having his photo taken on the balcony and he waved to us twice .... he is such a special man. :-)
Anon 12:53 you are so lucky! Spill! What else did he sing/say/do?
@Anon 1:00 AM
Thanks for your first person impressions! You are so lucky to have been there! He is just truly fabulous in these smaller, intimate settings..as he is in any other setting.. : )) (I am so envious! As you might imagine..)
Would you be able to give us a "tag"..your twitter name, or whatever you might want to call yourself..So we'll know to look for you again.. That would be great!
11:53 pm, Kelly Clarkson frequently does covers, by fan request, hasn't hurt her career at all.
I love Linkin Park's cover of Rolling In The Deep.
Here's the TAKE 40 REVIEW of last night's performance. It's very favourable as it should be. Adam NAILED it!!!!!!!!
http://www.take40.com/news/33698/review:-adam-lambert-rocks-the-take-40-live-lounge-presented-by-debit-mastercard-
Adam can be very proud of his band. They were fabulous.
I cannot rave enough about Adam's performance at the Take 40 Lounge.
Before I forget, Adam made mention at the end of the concert of the gay guys who were there. He was really pleased they were part of the audience. He called them his "brothers".
Yikes! I'm in some of the videos and photos but not saying where!
Adam's Take 40 performance was filmed and apparently it's going to be on Channel V at some stage.
http://www.vmusic.com.au/home
Having now seen Adam up close & personal (*sighs*)I think his black hair probably suits him more BUT his sexy, silver, sushi wolf look is sooooooooooooooooooo COOL!!!! :-D
Adam blew a kiss from the balcony as well as waving. I LOVE THIS MAN!!!!!!!!!!
Oh lordy! I hope Adam is given the Idol job. It should do wonders for his career. I will support him all the way!
Tonight (Thursday August 23), Adam is on Australian radio show .... http://www.novafm.com.au/station/nova1069/player
Get a loada this, guys .... Adam in Sydney .... even better when enlarged ....

LOL to 1:43. I have seen Adam and found myself in videos, too! Don't photograph very well and hate it. But it's fun all the same!
I love Adam's version of this song and I also loved the jazzy overtones he added to Trespassing at this show. Changing it up to keep it interesting - for himself, his band and his diehard fans (who see every version.)
I consider this "once in a blue moon." And I don't understnad why any fan would think they are a gatekeeper to the fandom - who has a right to determine what a "real" fan is?
WOW Adam..how can you improve on perfect.Take 40 was amazing..loving all the videos
Pics from the Take 40 Lounge concert:-

Just listened to the radio interview tonight which will be uploaded on the Nova site & video too apparently (http://www.novafm.com.au)
Not a long interview which is disappointing. Radio can be so annoying and frustrating sometimes (as we ALL know!!). However, at least it was an interview and the video should be funny.
I'm still way up in the clouds re last night's performance. :-)
Sharing a little something with you .... I rarely talk with my husband about Adam and when I do, I think he switches off! However, he came to the Glam Nation concerts with me and to the Take 40 Lounge promo concert last night. Well, we have BOTH talked about Adam all day today! :D He really likes the FYE album, still warming to the Trespassing album but it's only a matter of time before he says he loves it too. He thinks Adam is a hard worker and he likes people who work hard at what they do. I'm hoping we can both attend Adam's October concert here too.
Adam's Aussie accent - God love him, it was funny! We don't ALL sound like that Adam! At least I hope I don't! Some of us sound more nasal than others.
He always delivers the best!!!!!
The EYESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS!!!
The smile!!! Oh! I'm melting like ice cream...... Drooling a lot:))))
Insanity with OUR ROCK GOD makes me more hungrier he!he!
Canadian
Thank you to all you lucky people that were there and sharing your excitement with us.
Yes, he always delivers! That's the nail being hit right on the head
HE ALWAYS DELIVERS AND NEVER DISAPPOINTS
Now to get down to the nitty gritty ..... Adam's teeth are PERFECT!! I'd never seen them at such close range before. They're almost too good to be true and fortunately they're not bleached which makes teeth look bizarre. Nope, they're perfect teeth, perfect colour. <3
Adam didn't wear any ear monitors last night. At one stage early on, he called out to the sound guy/s to adjust something and then whoa! He said his microphone was hot or on fire (something like that!). Truth be known, Adam was hot/on fire and so was the crowd!! The band was really great too.
GOTTA WATCH THIS GUYS!!! Sheesh!! The things Adam is asked to do ....
"Adam Lambert plays man butt, lady butt" ....

Love this cover of the Marley song. Adam puts such feeling into it because he is so in love. You can see it in his face, in his conversations about his love, and in his overall happiness on stage while performing. Adam seems to be in a very good place in his professional and personal life right now and he is just such an amazing individual in an industry filled with untalented, egotistical, inarticulate performers.
JAK here....Heaven, I'm in heaven and my heart beats so that I can hardly speak.............................
there is nothing wrong with doing covers. Should a great song be sung by one artist and then retired, a great play peformed by one actor and then forgotten? Melodies that have been around for centuries have been repeated over and over, often with new lyrics and new interpretations by each artist who sings it.
I love when Adam does covers, they are songs of proven popularity and staying power. This song was great with Marley and a treat for the ears sung by Adam. We wouldn't have fallen in love with Adam if it hadn't been for his fantastic rendition of covers he did on idol.
Believe me I would buy any album of covers he might put out. Since I first heard him I've been making a tracklist of songs I'd love to hear him sing, that list would reach from Tampa to Tallahassee!
Susan Boyle did pretty well with covers.
Adam did a good job,but bob marley verson is better hands down!
I'm not a huge fan of covers but Michael Buble has done brilliantly singing covers. The song of his that I love is his original "Home" - such a sweet, sad, gorgeous song.
When a few of us saw Adam's set list last night before the concert started and noted "Is This Love" was included, some said it must be a mistake and it was supposed to be "Outlaws of Love". Not so, he had a surprise for us! :)
I thought that was an absolute gorgeous version of this is love. Adam looked mesmorizing. That's a keeper for me.

Ditto to all the praise for Adam expressed here. What more can be said? The superlatives aren't even enough sometimes. As for covers, he masters them all. I want to see him reach the top with his own songs, of course, but the covers are icing on the cake.
DRG
Honey how was work today? I play a game of man butt, lady butt. LOL
All the covers Adam has sung have been superb but I prefer him to showcase his own songs, especially when he's promoting his albums.
@7:34 AM ..... lol. You never know what Aussie DJs on the commercial radio stations are going to come up with. I feel a little embarrassed for Adam. I hope he didn't mind. He was such a good sport about it.
@6:53 bob marley would be rolling over in his grave if he heard a gay adam lambert sing his song.
August 23, 2012 7:51 AM
Troll alert! :-(
@7:51 im just stating fact! "bob marley was homophobic" so he does not like gays.
oops i meant @7:53
OMG PANIC everyone a gay man sang a Bob Marley song,protect our children. How ridiculous and close minded some people are ,very sad!!!
@Anon 8:21 AM
True or not, this is a joyous thread celebrating Adam Lambert's amazing voice and his wonderful cover of Bob Marley's beautiful Reggae love song. That h word just doesn't belong here, in my opinion. And who really knows what BM would have thought or done. Adam did a fantastic job and looks radiantly happy. All that matters.
I love this cover of Is This Love..it is beautiful..I cannot stop watching it..wow adam..more reggae
Reggae is ok. I went through my cd's and found one with this song in it. I bought the cd because I like the song Waiting In Vain. Is This Love is more suitable for Adam. It was a big hit in the late 70's I think. I remember hearing this song from the album Kaya a lot on the radio then.
Lots of buzz all over the internet for Adam's incredible cover of this song.
I prefer the first video that he tweeted. It was really like being in a club tripping on his singing.
I sat watching this video with a smile on my face the entire time and moving to the beat. What an amazing job on this Marley song. And as someone previously commented, this man can sing anything. Just recall his performances on Idol and the twist he put on Ring of Fire which put Randy Travis into a traumatic state. Adam is just in a league of his own in the music business and certainly should be on the Idol panel as a judge. He is talented, articulate, and knowledgeable with his understanding and aprreciation of music. And he would be constructive and honest in his criticism since he has been down that Idol path. I have watched Idol since about season 4 or 5 and have seen it go downhill, in my opinion, after Adam and season 8. Too much competition from other vocal/talent shows,but do we really hear anything about the musical careers of thos winners? Not much. I could listen to Adam sing and do an interview any time of the day or night; he is just so mesmerizing.
Fabulous Performing "Is This Love" is wonderful when Adam gives us a beautiful song with his prodigious voice and personal version! Thank you!! HH
@2:23
Yes, ADAM's version of ROF put Randy Travis into traumatic state for the last 3 years and he couldn't take it anymore he became a mental case driving nude just to buy cigarette. He has to leave the store with nothing because the store clerk asked how would he pay when he got nothing on him. How that ROF sitar version ruined Randy Travis!
2:42
LOL I was going to post the same thing as you. Randy Travis hasn't been the same since he met Adam. Also loved RT's mug shot!
Egad, what a mug! lol
It wasn't Randy's first mug shot. He was arrested as a teenager for auto theft and burglary. A club owner (his recently divorced and much older wife) gave him a job at her club as a cook and he also sang there. When he got in trouble again, she went to court to keep him out of jail and became his guardian. He lived with her and her husband. Then, she divorced her husband and married Randy and became his manager through all his successful years.
Now everything has blown up and he's in trouble again. Sounds like a country song!
I like Tommy J's hair. Hate the shaved look.
@9:41pm
Thanks for the backdrop about Randy Travis. Didn't know that. Now, I do really emphasize with him. What a story! Was that the lady sitting beside him on Idol?
YES
I mean empathize! Yak.
Thanks again!
Hope Randy gets the help he needs..
Love and Light
