Posters who criticize Adam better read Los Angeles Times’ April 27 scholarly article “ADAM LAMBERT, THE SINGER” where one will understand exactly what Adam’s astounding vocal chords’ ability is which is technically is referred to as PASSAGGIO.
It is the ignorant who cannot and don’t appreciate what talent is when confronted with it. But to those who know or blessed with good judgment are the ones who can appreciate and acknowledge and recognize a gifted person like Adam is.
A reader posted this:”I researched tenor singing high C, E, and F’s, the Puritani “high F” from credeasi misera and Pavarotti’s Legendary High C ‘s in La Fille du regiment. WOW! Adam was reaching those same notes only a few talented and practiced tenors can achieve!”

Adam can sing but I have to agree with John H that Adam over sings, over dramatizes the music. He’s very theatrical when he sings and he does a lot of screaming or whining. I totally hate Ring of Fire. I agree with Ron – he’s more of a Vegas act -I don’t see him as a recording artist. I’m sure he’s on the track to win but I don’t see him being a successful American Idol winner because of his style. I’m proud of the judges for using the ‘save’ on Matt. I think he has talent and I’m glad they gave him another chance – which I believe helped boost his self-confidence in knowing that he does have talent and he can do something with it.

Think how bad the female judges would of felt if Adam had been voted off and they had wasted the “bring back” option on Matt previously.

Vegas casino owner, Steve Winn should grab Adam Lambert and build him his own Las Vegas Showroom. (Wayne Newton retired in Vegas as a lifetime headliner.) Adam could do the very same. I think he’s a modern version on Elvis… reincarnated. He doesn’t need to tour…I think the world would come to him. “Build It and They Will Come!”

I am 67 and a country music fan. HOWEVER, Adam is the most exciting performer I have seen since Elvis…….. I don’t usually vote, but I will start next week! He is exciting.

I believe what happened was that Adam did not stick to his style. His Rat Pack performance was one of the weaker performances he has had in recent weeks. Also, the pool of people voting verses a lower number of contestants means some of the voters who were voting for Anoop, Lil, Meagan and the others now may have consolidated their voting power behind Allison and Danny. Allison is a chick and had a good night and Danny had the best night of 5 who were left. I was amazed BOTH Chris and Adam were in the bottom three. FWIW…I think Adam will win. Soooooo much talent, theatrics, and a great voice.

People are just hating because Adam kind of looks like a girl and gets too much attention but I would totally vote for him for president if Obama get the flu. I think his voice would stop any terrorist in their tracks. CMON America lets get it together and make sure we make the right choice. My thumb hurts from all the voting I did and all of your thumbs should hurt also… we can’t let this happen again!

I was absolutely shocked when Adam was in the bottom 3 last night! He is definitely the most gifted and talented singer ever on American Idol. I think it was a publicity stunt or possibly that voters began to feel sorry for the other contestants. Adam is the only reason I watch the show every week. I look forward to what he will do next. As for me I will continue to vote even more for him, I have unlimited texting! None of the others have been able to spark my interest other than Danny. All I can say is Adam Lambert fans need to vote even more next week. If he does not become the next American Idol, I will never watch the show again. But I can guarantee that I will be buying his cd’s, and attending his concerts! I won’t waste my money on any of the others. We love you Adam Lambert!
