Adam Lambert could serve as a justification for every single music reality show we’ve had to endure for the past decade and a half or so. He’s a man talented enough to be a success any way he so pleased, he’s just chose to make it happen through the medium of American Idol, and fair play to him. Especially when being on that show means that he can be the first ever openly gay solo artist to top the Billboard 200, if that’s not an undeniable good move and sign of genuine cultural progress, I don’t know what is.
Lambert was born in Indianapolis, however his family moved to San Diego, California soon after he was born. He was a musical child from the get go, getting involved with local theatre productions and performing with the Metropolitan Educational Theatre network. His teenage years were spent pretty much entirely around theatres and performing arts companies, even during his high school years he took part in choirs and the jazz band among many others. By 19 he had his first professional performing job as a cruise ship singer and by 21, he was cast in a European tour of the hit rock musical Hair.
From 2001 until 2008 Lambert cut his teeth performing any which way he could. That period of time saw him fronting bands and working as a session singer while still performing on stage any way that he could. He saw some success at it as well, in 2004 he was performing opposite Val Kilmer in a production of The Ten Commandments: The Musical, and he was understudying in major productions like one for Wicked in 2005. However come 2009 he would become something very special indeed.
While spending a week at the Burning Man festival in Black Rock Desert, Nevada, Lambert had what he described as “a psychedelic experience” where he realized that he had the power to do whatever he wanted with his life, and with that freedom in mind, he auditioned for American Idol. Lambert was an utter sensation on the show, captivating everyone with every single performance that he made and was pretty much robbed of the top spot by some vanishing act called Kris Allen. However, the general consensus was that Lambert was going to be an enormous deal outside of Idol, and that was exactly what happened.
Since then, Lambert has continued to be a sensation in everything he’s done. His two solo albums headed straight into the top three and his second album was the first ever number one album on the Billboard 200 by an openly gay man. The world of rock has also fallen to Lambert’s charms as well, with his shows fronting Queen selling out and getting rave reviews the world over. A common complaint with artists who find fame through a talent show is that they haven’t truly “earned” their success like other artists have. One look at Lambert’s back story will tell you that this is far from true, and he’s only just reached his prime. We’re going to be seeing a lot more of him for a long time, and any pop fan around should be very, very glad of that fact. Highly recommended.

Adam Lambert is a brilliant singer in his own right. He is "entertainment plus". I thoroughly enjoyed every minute of the concert fri night. His voice is out of this world. "I can't speak highly enough"of him. He kept everybody entertained all night. He's a great showman and the perfect choice for Queens frontman. I saw Adam at the palais theatre also, and he was fantastic. I will always go too see him when he's in Melbourne. I'm hoping that one day, I will be able too meet him in person and have a chat and a picture taken with him. Adam has a terrific sense of humour and made people laugh with his antics. He is a true showman all the way. He interacted with the crowd extremely well. He works so hard, and deserves all that is good in this world. He is tops in my book. Adam covered the songs of Queen with ease. I would have liked too have heard a few more of his songs. He's a star, in every sense of the word. He's worth every penny, too go and see, and witness this great entertainer in action. He sounds just as good live, as he does on CDs. I came away from the concert with such a buzz. It was great too hear Brian say, " that they wouldn't be here if it wasn't for Adam". I'm looking forward too seeing some more concerts of Adams in the future. The concert was such fun. I enjoyed singing along with Adam and Queen. I wasn't disappointed with any aspect of the show. Thanks for a really great night Adam you are amazing. Loved your outfits. I hope Adam and Queen enjoyed doing the show just as much as I loved watching it.
Thanks for a great night, Trisha Mac
Okay, this was my first concert, so I don't have anything to compare it to, but I really think that that is irrelevant. THIS SHOW COULD NOT HAVE BEEN BETTER! This light show, the videos, the presentation, were all perfection. The band members were amazing and gave their all; phenomenal work! And then there was Adam Lambert...I didn't know it was possible for a human to hit notes like that! I felt an electrical thrill run through me every time he hit a falsetto, and then he'd pull it down to a soft tender note, and I would shiver all the way down to my toes from the emotion he put into it. No one could stop themselves from dancing and singing along. It was infectious. The atmosphere that was created was ethereal, raw, powerful, and completely out of this world. If you have concerts to this show, you will have the time of your life without a doubt! Savour every moment! I would go again in a heartbeat.
In a word - spectacular!!
Lambert can flat out sing - an exceptional talent with an on stage presence that has matured. And it's clear that he's focused on ensuring people know he's about love and tolerance.
Just like at CMT earlier this week where he sang Girl Crush to an awe struck crowd in Nashville, Lambert simply crushed it in SD on Dec 4 playing a 45 minute set to his home town crowd.
New hit Ghost Town was his opening song and then onto Original High and Evil in the Night and the newly promoted Another Lonely Night. Adam also performed a few of his older hits to the delight of the nearly 3,000 attendees. The song quality of Adam's performance was the best of the night following Andy Grammer, Echosmith and Elle King who all performed admirably. It was Lambert, however, that folks came to see and his did not disappoint.
Im lucky, it wasnt my first Adam Lambert concert! And it wont he my last! He was simply wonderful - his voice & stage presence were superb & of course he was as handsome as ever.
I saw Queen & Freddie in 1977, & whilst Brian, Roger & the team were also unforgetable on Saturday night, with Brians guitar expertise out of this world; but as usual Adam stole the show.
Ive been a huge fan of his since 2009 when he sang Mad World on Idol on my Birthday that year - hes well schooled & such a gentleman with a crazy sense of humour - so I find it hard not to watch him sing etc. In the past 18nths Ive cut down on TV & watch Adam on youtube many nights each week. Hes truly an addiction.
Im a published writer & My greatest dream is to meet this wonderful man sometime soon. Cheers. Robina
This guy "Adam" is an absolute master.
He commands his voice so well, highs, lows, and on and on and on, I have now seen him front Queen 3 times across Australia. He is not here to replace Freddie (no-one can). but to bring us the great Queen music from when Freddie was alive, for us all to celebrate in today's times. Adam has the charm, cheekiness & charisma that I think Freddie would have approved of, Brain & Roger do ! obviously, after 8 years he is still touring with them.
I would love to see Adam (only) live, but I believe his passion will still shine through, it is hard to believe he is now 38yo. From watching him on Idol to watching him on stage just the other night, he is going to be a legend of our time.
Thank you Adam
It was a
perfect SHOW!
He is just AMAZING! His voice, his personality, his charisma, his stage presence, again his VOICE! Just everything about him. WE MUST HAVE HIM BACK SOON TO NORWAY! And the Norwegian people need to get to know this AMAZING artist. He is so personal and such a beautiful person. Everybody at Sentrum scene in Oslo, LOVED IT! He even "flashed his nipples, had fun, had the cutest laugh ever. HE IS ALREADY AN ICON AND NORWAY NEED TO GET THAT! Get him to go on Skavland, Senkveld. Even Bieber has been there.... So to sum up: AMAZING CONCERT,AMAZING ARTIST,AMAZING ATMOSPHERE, BEST CONCERT EVER. PLS GET HIM BACK TO US VERY SOON.

To see Adam Lambert perform at Fall Fest from Fresh 102.7 radio station was a delight. I didn't really care about other artists playing that night. And they were little boring. But when Adam came out, the theater came alive. The choice of songs was great. Most from his newest album (The ogirinal High) and his biggest hit "What do you want from me". And his voice....The best. He interacted with the audience (like always), never disappointing his fans. I just wish he played more songs. I understand that there is a limit to how many songs artists can sing where you have several of them performing, but I can't get enough. I hope he is going to tour by himself.
queen + adam lambert was a great show. adam tries hard to act with the spirit of freגdie and still be unique so far it works.
the other band members also gave great and unique improv for a change.
the only downside perfomance wise, it was way too short, i would love new materials and to see classics like bicycle race, let me entertain you and i'm in love with my car live.
another con, relates to the production in israel. don't know if it gets to them, but it was very poor. bad venue, strict finishing hour, bad acoustics, too crowded for the venue both by parking which wasn't managed and viewpoints of the stage.
The Queen concert was brilliant in every way & I hope to see -at least- another one in London in July. The 2nd of July is already planned so I hope there is another after that? I also hope to see one of Adams own concerts sometime this year.
Adam is the greatest Singer & Showman on this planet; & being so handsome makes him so much easier to enjoy. Of course, the boys from Queen having so much talent makes them also easy to listen to, however Adam outshines everyone.
Ive been an Adam fan for 9years now & I wont change.
Songkick - please keep me informed of all of Adams performances.
Cheers. Robina
What a show!From the moment he strode out with the confidence of a young George Michael, to the closing number, Adam Lambert was phenomenal. He has grown into the role of Queen front man with all the glory and flare of Freddy, while retaining his own sense of style and humour. His vocals were perfection as always, soaring notes that carried the crowd to places that touched their souls. Great moments when he was dancing like no one was watching. You could not help but be carried by his joy of being on stage doing what he loves. A great performer, a beautiful soul, a wonderful experience.
