His dazzling take on the 1993 hit will move you.
This is no ordinary cover.
The track is slow and pensive, heavy on piano and strings, with the arrangement and Lambert’s distinctive voice giving the song an equally distinctive sound. It manages to remain loyal to the legendary band’s original single while being unique in its own right.
The Glamberts of the world certainly loved the cover.
“Adam Lambert’s voice creates a bond with the Universal Harmony,” someone wrote on YouTube. “It’ll make you feel something, laugh and cry and might just leave you speechless and in awe. To be a part of something so magical sound is Heaven.”
“‘Ordinary World’ is a song that I hold near and dear to my heart,” another person gushed. “I get very defensive whenever someone attempts to cover it. I say attempt because they step up to the plate and they strike out. This is the first cover that I have ever heard that actually moved me. The arrangement is superb and Adam’s vocal delivery is one of his best.”
