Press and Blog Picks
Kansas City Star – Review | Adam Lambert at the Midland “He took the Midland stage in one of those costumes, an ensemble of fur, fringe, leather, rhinestones and a black top hat, singing the song “VooDoo.” He would deliver 75 minutes of dance and music — some of it big and loud with heavy beats, some of it soft and acoustic. It included covers of Johnny Cash (“Ring of Fire”) and Led Zeppelin (“Whole Lotta Love”), proving that nerve and audacity are not two of his deficiencies.”
The Scotsman – Interview: Adam Lambert, pop singer “With his soaring rock falsetto, megawatt charisma, fondness for outlandish costumes and lashings of panstick and eyeliner, Lambert was always going to be a stand-out performer, but perhaps the most telling sign of his singular talent is that he is one of the privileged few to break those reality TV ties and launch a truly global career.”
The Plain Dealer = Adam Lambert leaves ’em wanting more at PlayhouseSquare’s Allen Theatre “He sang with power and passion throughout the evening, effortlessly slipping in and out of a stratospheric falsetto during the sparse ballad “Aftermath.””
Adam’s Scarlet Letter: A Sin Transformed – Glamazing Race. “Nathaniel Hawthorne wrote that “no man, for any considerable period, can wear one face to himself and another to the multitude without getting bewildered as to which one may be the true”…By placing the scarlet “A” front and center on his top hat and wearing it at the beginning of his concert, Adam tells us that he is unashamed of his debut performance, or of his sexuality, or of being a sexual person. The “A” becomes a mark of pride. Adam has walked through the fire and come out stronger than ever. And just as Hester gilded her letter and made it into a sign of her own strength, Adam has taken what some have called his “sin” and through the catalyst of his own character, transformed it into a symbol of honor.”
Cleveland Q104 FM interview with Adam – Adam talks about spending the day out on Lake Erie with friends, tubing. “You have the craziest, coolest fans I’ve ever seen.” We got 7,000 votes in one night for IIHY. Favorite part of touring? “Exchange of energy with the fans. A mirror..”
YouTellConcerts.com – Adam Lambert @ Ryman Auditorium – Nashville, TN
USA Today – Adam Lambert brings his Glam Nation Tour to Nashville’s Ryman Auditorium “In a summer that has seen concerts and entire tours fall by the wayside, Adam Lambert has put together something impressive: A sold-out tour of large clubs and small theaters playing to a thoroughly devoted audience that comes not for the big single but to bask in the presence of the artist. Most concerts these days feel like a luxury; to his fans, an Adam Lambert concert feels like a necessity.”

On Thursday 15th July 2010, @peacefrogdesign said:@adamlambert Adam, I think you would be very proud of what went on here on Twitter this evening amongst all of us, your fans. Tonight hatred and negativity reared their ugly heads in the form of protesters at your show in Kansas City. I think most fan bases would try to fight that negativity with even more negativity. But do you know what we did tonight? We talked about love. We talked about peace. We talked about how much you inspire us. Many people are talking about raising money for gay rights organizations as a form of counter-protest.
Where did we learn this behavior, you might ask yourself? Well, Adam…we learned it from you. You have taught us so much since you came into our lives last year. You have taught us how to love instead of hate. How to always be positive. You have taught us how to love one another. I can’t thank you enough for these lessons you have taught me. For all the beautiful people that you have brought into my life. You inspire me daily with your incredible spirit and your never ending positivity and love. You’ve changed me inside forever….and it has been a beautiful change.
I love you and I am so proud of you~

Adam Lambert has a great voice and isn’t afraid to be himself. Not a lot of that going around in pop music.
And if you digged “Whataya Want From Me,” my girl LA-native Marianne Keith has a pretty, stripped-down cover on YouTube that pays homage to this amazing song (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LJecwAWLfbw)
Kelley/Unison
P.S. Marianne also has a new album out on iTunes, but this song isn’t on it. Don’t let that stop you for checking it out though, because maybe next album!
