‘American Idol’ bits: Adam Lambert concert, Power 8, nostalgia y’all!

Adam Lambert, in an interview last month, said he came onto “American Idol” seven years ago not thinking he had a prayer making it far on the show because he felt he was just too different.
But in his case, different was good. Very good. So good in fact that he finished second.
Last night he proved at a sold-out Tabernacle concert (capacity 2,000-plus) why he really should have been first. During his post-“Idol” career, he leveraged his time on “Idol” to his advantage, building a worldwide fan base with his glam rock stylings and vocal power. He earned more money last year than any alum, according to Forbes magazine.
His set list included his classic “Idol” cover of Tears for Fears’ “Mad World,” a tribute to his muse David Bowie with “Let’s Dance” and an homage to his work with Queen “Another One Bites the Dust.” Plus, he included a nice range of his hits (“Whataya Want From Me,” “Ghost Town”) and cuts that should be hits (an ebullient, catchy “Another Lonely Night,” a sweaty “Fever.”)
Adam’s music is as much a pastiche as the third jacket he donned, a bright graffiti-filled design, with elements of pop, EDM, R&B, funk and rock all blended together. And he built his set list so the energy level ramped up over the 90 minutes. With no effort at all, he emoted sexual desire and the slightest hint of danger. But outside a few curse words (“You guys are f***in’ loud!”), he felt oddly family friendly. He was having a good time and appeared truly appreciative by the groundswells of applause he would get between songs.
“Is there a towel up here?” he said at one point. “I’m wet!”
But for some reason, he didn’t make that sound dirty at all.
“I promise I won’t kick you out in the morning,” he said, then added with a tease, “unless you want me to!”
The crowd was a heavy mix of older women and gay guys and the atmosphere was all positivity.
Well, almost all.
I was on the second tier in the second row. Early on, two Glamberts – who appeared to be in their 60s – were standing in front of me in the first row, just enjoying themselves. A man behind my wife and me started yelling at them to sit down multiple times. It was amusing given that women of this vintage were “disrupting” the experience of a middle-aged dude.
But after a few songs, they were on their feet again and he ultimately joined them with a smile on his face. That’s the Lambert effect.
The Glamberts in front of me were from Chattanooga and have seen him numerous times. As you can see, they may have been forced to sit for a bit but you can't keep a good Glambert down! CREDIT: Rodney Ho/ rho@ajc.com

On stage, he talked a bit about how “Idol” brought different types of people together regardless of age, gender, religion or sexual orientation. “Deep down, we all have a heart,” he said. “And deep down, we all go through the same s***! I love that about music and I love that about my journey and I love that about my fans.”
