American Idol 8 Adam Lambert “Black or White”

Wow… I was really hoping that no one would pick “Black or White” so I cringed when Adam Lambert started singing it.  I really, really, really hated it.  I’m sorry Adam fans.

This doesn’t mean I hate him because he really gave a great performance but I did not love what he did with this song.  That being said, I have to agree with Simon when he said that you have to go “over-the-top” to make it work with Michael Jackson songs.

    If Aussies had been allowed to vote Adam would have won as he should have. What a talent. What a polite person. What a performer! From me, absolute disbelief and slow tears of sadness.

    I hope that Adam comes out with a DVD at the same time he comes out with the CD. A large part of his appeal is the visual aspects of his performances. He is vocally incredible, but I hope he realizes that we want to see him perform as well. I would love to see an Adam Lambert pay-per-view concert. How great would that be! No crowds, just close-ups of him and listening to his incredible voice.

    If Adam Lambert wants to sweep the competition, there is one song that will insure his winning . . . Elvis Presley’s “Suspicious Past.” He has the moves, look, and the voice to be able not just to pull it off, but to blow everyone away. Let me know your thoughts.

    Nina, that’s just insulting. Unnecessary and insulting.

    Its the ADAM show and the boring bunch… If he gets booted off because of the CAVEMAN MENTALITY of some AMericans than Im standing in line to see him perform anywhere… hes great just you-tube a little and see his versatility..

    SparkleMirror – it is not a technique. I have an opinion, simple as that :)

    Ok, Jeanne… Come on… This is just a technique to appear more sophisticated, right… you gotta be kidding me… that performance brought Michael back to life. Magnificent. But I do have to say Paula was off her rocker… thought she was going to pass out… maybe a little more restraint would have done all of us good. Love ya Paula.

    Now that is how to get a party started…..it is obvious that IT is in him, and has to come out! A true artist. We all know that NO one pleases everyone…..but I guarantee, there will be MANY that will line up to hear this guy rock………I could see that when I caught his vocals on the group night…….I bet there are some labels out there sizing him up……..I’m really looking forward to the following weeks……I also liked his “Is Anybody Listening”….from the staged Ten Commandments. You Rock On Adam!!!!! I would love to see him do a new era music video of MJ’s “Thriller”….with his theatricals and voice…..YEA!

    He is awesome, but his hairdo is stupid.

    I hated it. And I don’t think I like him at all. He’s too…I don’t know what it is. He’s just blech.

    He is one super talented, smoking hot guy…look forward to watching him this season – I’ve never felt this strongly about a contestant in all the years of this show. just…wow!!
