Zimbio made a list of great covers from the past couple of months and they included Adam Lambert's cover of Bob Marley's "Is This Love".

American Idol alum Adam may have been relying on a lyrics sheet to get through one of Bob Marley's greatest hits, but you wouldn't have been able to tell from listening to him nail it.

Oh Adam, what a perfect welcome back gift! Wish we could talk him into an album of covers. This one makes my heart go all lovey and limp!......contented sigh......JAK
That smile just kills me....
loved this when bob marley sang it-but somehow i think adam's version is better. he can sing the phone book. i love the reggae beat and he certainly does it justice. he should sing this as a cover more often. maybe when and if he goes on tour. soooooooooooooo good. adam you my dear are the best!!!!
He certainly looks like he is enjoying himself and this song. I love this song. Haven't heard it for a long time. I had to go dig out Bob's record and play it again. I love his smile-he looks so happy!
Adam did such a great job on this Marley song because he is in love and you can tell by his face, his smile, the joy in singing this song. He just looks so happy. I guess this is what love does to you....makes you feel so good and smiling all the time.
He certainly does nail it. ♥
The comment section of YouTube has this ........
"Boy George tweeted the link to this video, saying "This is how Adam should be dropping it!"" That would work for me. :)
beautiful job Adam!!
@ JAK, glad you are back. I'm glad it was your Della that was sick and not you. I loved your poem on Nickidigital thread. I'll save that one too. I think I have about 10 youve written now. lol
adam next time learn the lyrics to the song.
I really love this song! Had never heard it before. First time i'd heard of Bob Marley. Great song! Adam sings with love in his heart:)) so amazing!!
Wow, I went on Bing and there are 2hoaxes about Adam dying in a Jet Ski accident and in a car accident.
My heart jumped into my throat! It really scared me...
Why are there people that get their kicks with this kind of shit???
Adam said that he and band had decided to perform this song pretty much at the last minute and had barely rehearsed it before the show. It's better to be honest and have a cheat sheet than to get those beautiful lyrics wrong. I have no problem with using the sheet. That song suits Adam so well in tone, lyrics, tempo, style, everything. What a gem (Adam,, that is.) The song is great, too.
JAK, glad to see you back in Glam-Land! We were wondering where you went!
DRG
That was a great cover by the most beautiful voice on this earth! Think I'll take another listen.

Adam gives us this wonderful cover of "Is This Love?" and you complain because he had to peek at the lyrics??? Sheesh.....AMAZING gift is all I can say.
Here's Adam on Fashion Police (because the vid posted on this site has been taken down):

I believe there is an official release tomorrow regarding the #IdolJudges? I do hope so as the auditions begin in the morning.
I love this cover. Adam did a great job and this song makes me fell warm and fuzzy. Adam looks so happy while singing it. Hope on his future tour he will do more covers. He truly can sing anything!!!Yup I guess the idol news will finally be revealed tomorrow.
JACK is back YAY!:)
Adam didn't have time to practice the song but still he delivered the best as always indeed:)
Canadian
wouldn't that be shocking if it turned out Adam was one of the judges? I don't really know if it would be good for my heart and I am a 28yr old with a good heart. lol Does anyone know exactly where Adam is at now?
This was a night of pure wonderment in The Great Land of Oz. 'Is This Love' touched hearts and souls as ADAMs sexy love vibes flowed throughout The Standard. Never has Adam sounded more relaxed and beautiful. Dedicated adoring fans sang along as Adam sent everyone into total collapse, raptures and tears of joy surrounded us everywhere. OMG it was an incredible night! ADAM at his finest!
Brian, Tommy, Isaac and Ashley had a ball too and were fantastic. OZ loves ADAM and can't wait for him to return in just a few weeks.
I can listen Adam singing this song all day long you never get tired of it . Its a feel good song . Hope he sings it when he tours please.
Damn his a beautiful man.
If Kelly Clarkson can do covers on her tour and appearances, there would be nothing wrong with Adam including one or two in his next tour. We all know he can sing anything and do it so well. He does such a great job on this Marley song because he is in love and knows the feeling of being so happy and content.
Adam's rendition of 'Is this Love' was beautiful on the night. He mesmerized the whole audience. He informed us that he did not have much time to learn the lyrics but as you can see he hardly had to refer to his notes. The atmosphere was incredible. Adam was incredible. Adam coming to OZ again in October....YAY!!!!
@6:14 You shouldn't mention this being a reggae song as some people on this site think it's jazz. How effin funny is that? lol
Remember Kara saying "So Adam Lambert does country?" We could then say, "So, Bob Marley does jazz." Marley IS the king of reggae.
@ 7:07 P.M. Have you ever listened to smooth cool swinging jazz? Adam gave this more of a jazz treatment than reggae. Adams rendition was sexy, watch Bob Marley's video of this song, it's great, but it ain't sexy like Adam!
Adam is a master at changing up a song.....Whole Lotta Love for example.....From ROCK to DROOL! JAK
So right...drool!
...to put my cock on the table...lol
