Adam Lambert Transcends American Idol at the Pageant (http://blogs.riverfronttimes.com/atoz/2010/08/adam_lambert_setlist_2010_photos_review_st_louis_august_8_pageant_allison_iraheta_american_idol.php) by Annie Zaleski, Riverfront Times
American Idol's taken a beating this year. Besides the usual drama with its judges, interest in the show appeared to be dwindling. In fact, its results-show finalé drew its lowest ratings ever. Perhaps what Idol again needs is a personality like Adam Lambert. The season eight runner-up lived up to - and exceeded - expectations at the Pageant last night. Glam, disco, synthpop, rock, goth and dancepop collided in a well-executed, enjoyable show. And like any smart performer, he left a very sold-out crowd wanting more.

After an airing of the recorded version of "For Your Entertainment," the title track of his debut, Lambert appeared atop a set of stairs wearing a top hat and long coat, à la Johnny Depp's Mad Hatter character from Alice In Wonderland. (His lacquered pompadour, however, screamed "rockabilly" or "Morrissey.") He strolled down to the stage, and opened with the alluring synthpop freeze "Voodoo," a cross between Duran Duran and Sade. Things picked up with the Eurodisco techno romp "Down the Rabbit Hole" and a riotous run-through of the Lady Gaga-co-penned disco vamp "Fever." The latter featured Lambert and his four back-up dancers showing off slinky dance moves and impeccable choreography.

Entertainment has songwriting or production credits from the usual Top 40 suspects, including Pink, Linda Perry, Max Martin and OneRepublic's Ryan Tedder. But the rock edge of Entertainment is almost more impressive: Lambert's also singing songs penned by Muse's Matt Bellamy ("Soaked"), Darkness vocalist Justin Hawkins ("Music Again") and Weezer's Rivers Cuomo (who gets a co-write on "Pick U Up"). And Rob Cavallo, who's known for his work with Paramore and Green Day, also produced several songs. With so much talent on the album, it's of course seamless and professional -- if not almost too perfect at times.

However, Lambert's use of a top-notch live band loosened up the arrangements and delivery. Drummer Longineu Parsons was in Yellowcard and comes from a musical family, while keyboardist Camila Grey is in electropop cult faves Uh Huh Her. Guitarist Monte Pittman, who had plenty of chances to unleash killer metal solos, is in the hard rock band Prong and tours with Madonna. (In fact, he even taught her to play guitar.) Androgynous bassist Tommy Joe Ratliff, whose blond chop and makeup made him look like an ex-member of the Cure, quietly and steadily anchored the tunes.

These musicians ably handled operatic goth-glam ("Sleepwalker"), a Def Leppard-meets-'80s-funk hybrid ("Sure Fire Winners") and a hi-NRG gay-club anthem ("If I Had You"). "Soaked" indeed sounded exactly like a Muse song, from Lambert's vocal delivery down to the classical piano flourishes throughout. (It made a solid argument that Lambert should star in a revival of Phantom of the Opera.) Again unsurprisingly, the histrionic glam-pop highlight "Music Again" sounded like a Darkness outtake, complete with Lambert emulating the high shrieks for which Hawkins is known. A steamy, psychedelia-swirled cover of Johnny Cash's "Ring of Fire" split the difference -- it sounded like Muse making out with the Darkness in a dark closet. And the throbbing synthfunk stomp "Strut" featured vaguely raunchy -- but snap-to-a-grid fierce -- dance routines based around canes.

Continued from page 1

Yet Lambert has a chameleonic quality which hints that he's not just a one-trick novelty act. As a mid-set breather, he perched on a stool for an acoustic-based version of mega-hit "Whataya Want From Me." The song "Aftermath" also featured acoustic guitar and some almost Timberlake-ian vocal moves. The encores focused on songs he covered on Idol: Tears for Fears' "Mad World," unadorned and sincere, proved a contrast to the heavy seduction of Led Zeppelin's "Whole Lotta Love."

While he's openly gay, Lambert is the kind of pop star that's just sexual, regardless of his personal preference. (He did lightly kiss bassist Ratliff, but it was more playful than it was exploitative.) His pants ranged from "tight leather" to "form-fitting" - and for the second half of the set, he sported a sleeveless shirt with a glittery "A" on the back. (An inverse scarlet letter?) He oozed confidence as he strut across the stage and pleased the screaming crowd with plenty of crotch thrusts, full-body shudders, fluid footwork and synchronized high-steps. The only real misstep was his banal stage patter, which felt canned and contrived.

Lambert likely wouldn't have found such a huge audience had he not been on Idol. (His fanbase probably wouldn't have been as diverse, either: The crowd's ages ranged from elementary school to grandma, with a special emphasis on soccer moms and teenage girls.) However, he's been acting and performing for years before he was on TV, and it shows: Lambert's a natural, lithe performer with an impeccable sense of rhythm. This bodes well for his future career prospects, because he's already very comfortable on stage being, well, there for your entertainment.

Adam Lambert's glam glitters at Pageant

One of the first things that came to mind while watching Adam Lambert's sold-out Glam Nation concert Sunday night at the Pageant was, "Why isn't this guy opening for music's hottest commodity, Lady Gaga?"

After all, they share a few things in common, including their over-the-top drama and their connection to the gay community, not to mention that she wrote a song for his "For Your Entertainment" album.

But the simple answer is he doesn't have to open for Gaga. Lambert is his own hot commodity, filling up theaters and clubs across the country. He's been on a major roll every since losing on "American Idol" last year, proving as we already know winning isn't everything.

The heavily eyelined and pompadoured singer, taking the stage in a showy costume that mixed feathers, sequins, leather, fringes and more, slithered down a short flight of stairs at the rear of the stage for opening song "Voodoo."

It was a great entrance that felt instantly classic, even if playing a recorded version of "For Your Entertainment" while he was still off stage felt like a cheat.

Over the course of about 15 songs that mixed "For Your Entertainment" selections with covers he revitalized on "American Idol," Lambert delivered a fun, slick show that kept his fans, a curious older batch of folks, on their feet most of the night.

Save for an innocent kiss of a male band member during the Gaga-penned "Fever," there was none of the shenanigans we saw on the "American Music Awards" last year, where his more overt sexual antics on stage made headlines and cost him a job or two.

Lambert's big moments, featuring that wail you either love or hate, was in full force on songs such as "Fever," "Sure Fire Winners" and "Music Again." When Lambert rocks, he rocks, and there's no holding back that theatrically trained voice.

"Who feels like dancing?" Lambert asked at the top of "Strut," another song where he let it all hang out.

But it was the softer moments that felt more engaging, such as when Lambert sat down to quietly yet powerfully deliver "Whataya Want From Me" -- one of the best songs of the year -- as well as "The Aftermath" and "Soaked."

Johnny Cash's "Ring of Fire," which Lambert first performed on "American Idol," remained a highlight in his twisted hands, as did Tears for Fears' "Mad World."

Lambert demonstrated he's definitely an entertaining spectacle with the pipes to back up the flash.

Save for the unabashed sexuality, Lambert's shtick doesn't exactly exude freshness. And while his voice is exceptional, his music sometimes fails him, coming off bland despite being heavily credentialed with top names.

And then there's his fan base, largely middle-age-and-older women at the Pageant show. This demographic isn't known for keeping new, young talent afloat.

Allison Iraheta, an "American Idol" finalist who competed the same season as Lambert, opened the concert. Iraheta, a fiery little redhead with a big voice, performed songs from her "Just Like You" CD, as well as covers including Pat Benatar's "Heartbreaker."

Watching her excel in concert was a quick reminder of the not-long-ago days when it wasn't painful to watch "American Idol."
