Adam Lambert and Queen?

May 24, 2009

Not sure why folks don’t like Adam Lambert. He’s an unbelievable performer who took risks every week and for the very first time in Idol history there was a contestant who provided mystery week to week. But whatever it was it was classic Adam. Bringing Smokey Robinson to tears with his own song? Changing Jamie Foxx’s prejudgment of him? And has there been a better 1-2 as far as friendship and real lack of enmity? Watch their Larry King interview if you think it is contrived. Adam is genuinely ok with being runner up. And his appearance and whatever else? Get over it folks – he’s a performer in the music business. He’s an adult and can do whatever he chooses to do on and off stage. If you actually listened to him – his words – you’d see he’s a genuinely nice guy who loves to perform. And KISS proved that guyliner is about as understated as it gets on stage. Hope he’s allowed to sing in public before the American Idol starts in July. The questions of whether he was offered a job with Queen is as answered here as it’s probably gonna get. He sure looked good up there and as much fun as Adam was having – Brian May looked like he was having more. Certainly more than when the contestants had “Queen” week and nobody could do them justice.
