YOU ARE A CHAMPION (AGAIN)!
The Top-Earning American Idols Of 2015 ““Adam used the launching pad of American Idol very well to have a successful recording career,” his co-manager Martin Kirkup told FORBES two years ago, before offering a spot-on prognostication: “I think the main part of his career still lies ahead of him.””
Adam Lambert Is Forbes’s Top Idol Earners Champion, Bringing in $10 Million “When it comes to American Idol’s top earners, Adam Lambert is the champion, my friends. The Season 8 runner-up, who released his third solo album in June 2015 and famously moonlights as the lead singer of Queen, raked in a pretax income of $10 million last year, according to Forbes’s annual American Idol earners list. It’s a career high, and a Forbes high, for the Original High singer. Although this isn’t really rebound per se for Lambert, who’s always been one of Idol’s biggest success stories since competing on the show in 2009, it’s still a spectacular feat.“

AMERICAN IDOL TOP 30 PERFORMANCES OF ALL TIME – NO. 1, ADAM LAMBERT, “TRACKS OF MY TEARS “Up to this point we had seen Lambert keep his voice controlled as it got louder, but this was even more impressive. His voice doesn’t flinch even as he sings barely above a whisper. The intimateness of the performance – with the band members playing an acoustic guitar, a stand-up bass and what looks like a wooden box – makes you forget this was the guy who had you so confused the week before.”
E! American Idol’s Final Season Begins Tonight! Look Back on the Show’s 20 Best Performances “Adam Lambert’s loss is still one of the greatest injustices of reality TV, and his performance of “Mad World” is still one of the greatest performances on any singing competition.”
Yahoo – #RIPAmericanIdol: Remembering the Show’s 35 Best Performances “#1 Adam Lambert Ring of Fire. This was probably the most polarizing performance on Idol, and definitely the most exciting. Love him or hate him, Adam knew how to get people’s attention, sometimes get people downright angry, and make those who were faint of heart and/or feeble of mind squirm in their support hose — all very good things in the world of rock and pop. On this fateful night, Adam took a strong stance, making it clear that he planned to stay true to himself, even if that meant freaking out Randy Travis with his Goth manicure, or refusing to “go country” on Opry Night (though I think black-clad country maverick Johnny Cash would have appreciated this remake). Many Glambert performances — “Mad World,” “Tracks of My Tears,” “Whole Lotta Love” — could’ve made this list, but “Ring of Fire” is the one that really put Adam on the glittery map.”

Peace out!

The Runnin, Chokehold, Sleepwalker medley is very well synergised and Adam uses his full arsenal of voice, shifting from low to high keys. The three-piece black/white design is fabulous; at first, I thought it was one piece, sewn together but as Adam moves, the three pieces shift, the sides, front, back, all different yet constitute one piece…marvellous, very imaginative; also reflective of Chinese/Japanese motifs.
After an effervescent Singapore Sling
Which he gulps down without a blink
Adam zooms north to Beijing
Had a whale of a sing
Wearing a Chinese/Japanese 3-piece motif
A handsome peaceful samurai
Heads southbound to Shanghai
Armed with The Original High
He woos with humble, sophisticated style
His voice soars above the crowd
Adam! Adam! they shout
Now, a grand historic city…Hiroshima
This name brings back unimaginable memories
Adam heals as he sings: I Love You
Well, that in a nutshell is my take
On The Original High in the South China Sea lwl!
Version 2
After an effervescent Singapore Sling
Which he gulps down without a blink
Adam zooms north to Beijing
Had a whale of a sing
Wearing a Chinese/Japanese 3-piece black/white motif
A handsome Samurai brings peace
Southbound to Shanghai
Armed with The Original High
Woos the crowd in sophisticated style
Adam! Adam! they smile as they file
Now, onto a grand historic city…Hiroshima
This name evokes unimaginable trauma
Adam heals as he sings: I love you…
While Lucy wails: Run away, run away, ay ay ay
Reminiscent of those dark days
But Adam prefers to stay to pave the way
For a brighter future, so he sings
Lay Me Down in darkness…tell me what you see
Show me I’m the one…tell me I’m the one that you need
If everyone gives a little, takes a little of what Adam advocates
We’ll probably emerge in a more serene place
So, in my slightly lengthier indulgence…
The Original High in the South China Sea hey hey hey lwl!
