'Idol' runnerup Adam Lambert plays Peoria
Lambert inspires devotion from diverse, well-traveled fans


PEORIA — Don't let the black makeup scare you.

There's glitter underneath, in the hair and on the clothes of the "Glamberts" - the moniker for fans of the season eight "American Idol" runner-up Adam Lambert.

False eyelashes, glitter eye shadow, big hair and black spandex were aplenty outside the Peoria Civic Center on Sunday as fans waited outside tour buses to catch a glimpse of the similarly-styled pop star and his band before he performed in front of a sold-out crowd.

For Holly and Sara Belmont of Justice, a southwestern suburb of Chicago, it was the fourth time seeing Lambert in concert. The mother and daughter said they've been fans of him since his "Idol" audition.

"First of all, he's hot," said Sara, 18, who thinks Lambert is reminiscent of Queen frontman Freddie Mercury. "And then he opened his mouth and it was like, 'Oh my God.'"

Mom agrees.

"Just the voice," Holly, 52, said pausing to shake her head, "is outrageous."

And it seems fans will do just about anything to be in the presence of that voice.

Kirsten Izatt, 43, of Wheaton once drove more than 1,000 miles between back-to-back Friday and Saturday shows in Michigan to pick up her 13-year-old daughter, Kelley. Kirsten and Kelley Izatt have been to six and three shows, respectively, and paid for Lambert's meet and greet before Sunday's show.

"I grew up on a lot of fun, male entertainers, and that's why I like Lambert," Kirsten Izatt said. "It's great how he's taken his shows to all these small towns."

Going to towns like Peoria and snubbing larger cities like Chicago often means more traveling, but as a member of Glam Nation, fan Samantha Powell said that people are more than happy to give fellow Glamberts a ride.

Fans also are very active on Twitter and live-tweet the concert for other fans to see, said Powell, 24, of Lafayette, Ind.

"It's the devotion to Adam. . . . They see him for the first time and they go to six or seven (more) shows," she said.

Openly-gay Lambert's eyecatching style and, at times, racy acts, like kissing a male keyboardist at the 2009 American Music Awards, often make headlines, but fans keep coming back for more because of his raw talent and positive message. Lambert's song, "If I Had You" off his album "For Your Entertainment" has spent 10 weeks on the Billboard Hot 100 list.

"(It's) all about love and being who you are and seeing what's good in other people," said Powell.

This message seems to span all ages. Mary Kay Winebrenner, 67, of Wheaton held a sign that read "Grandmothers 4 Glamberts" outside the Civic Center.

"I knew from the beginning he was going somewhere," said Winebrenner, of Lambert's "Idol" days. "I can listen to him sing the phone book."

This show was incredible.

- Of the seven shows I've seen (I know what a lucky bitch I am), Indy and Peoria would be tied for best crowd. I actually think Peoria was more consistently dancy and loud. Indy had at least four guys dirty dancing for the crowd, whereas Peoria had one or two. So it's about a draw, but they were both amazing. I think that's an advantage to seated shows. People aren't crammed so tight and fighting for a spot, so they have room to dance. SO MUCH FUN. I was all sweaty before Adam even came on. After the show, we ran into the main stripper guy from the upper balcony. I called him out from across a pizza place and had to run and hug him. And then boom he had fans -- people kept coming up to him and saying thank you and hugging him. He was so cute! The whole place was GN fans. Somebody found WWFM, FYE, Fever and IIHY on the juke box and it was a massive singalong.

- Adam sounded so gorgeous! Every song was among the best I've ever seen. Sleepwalker (which tbh is not one that I usually focus on) was unbelievable. His vocals throughout were stunning. Soaked, of course. And he went up into his upper register a lot. He seemed to be feeling really good, vocally. Beautiful.

- As he had in the previous two shows I saw, Adam had a visit with the sound guy three times. I always feel bad for Adam and for the sound guy. :)

- Many stage antics, which you've seen in the vids. Monte was in a great mood -- kept coming up to the edge of the stage and messing with us -- lots more smiles than usual. Tommy was singing along to songs, which I find v cute somehow. At one point, when the dancers were laying on the floor, Adam pretented to step on Terrance's head. :)

- Which would be a shame, cause Terrance is so beautiful.

- TCB WAS BACK. I love how Monte sort of teases us with the first chord, offstage, then the band comes on then he comes on and starts. It really gets the crowd going for the encore.

- A whole cluster of cute glammed up boys front and center at the edge of the stage. Adam played to them a LOT and it was v hot. After the show, we were at a bar next to one of the guys and he was telling someone he met Adam after the show, and Adam said he looked beautiful and then told the guy, "I'm going to remember you." The guy was sorta teary-eyed telling this story, AS YOU WOULD BE. :')

- Talked to many random guy fans! One was a total drag-along who became a convert by the end. One was a husband in a studded jacket that matched his wife's -- they have flown all over the country following Adam. Another was skeptical but came w his wife and ended up all starry eyed at the bar after the show. <3<3<3

Sorry my recap is more about the fans than the music! I know I'm lame. But for some reason the crowd/fan experience at Peoria was amazing.

I loved your recap. I like hearing about the crowd, and especially Adam flirting with them lol.

I love that everyone seemed to be having a great time (including you)!

I love hearing about the crowds at his shows!
