Critical Bias: I came into this concert thinking I would hate my life. Watching Lambert allowed me to appreciate an amazing vocal talent and stage performer. Another convert?  Another convert is good, but should it really take seeing him live to show him some basic respect? :-/ I think it's the reality tv show things that make a lot of people don't have much respect for him, these arrogant peeps think it's a karaoke shows. IMO, they have to hear him live to believe that he has more to offer. It works for Queen fans. |

How was Adam getting to Scramento? I gather the band has traveled up there by bus. Adam probably flew up this morning. It's about 385 miles from LA to Sacramento, so just a short flight there (about an hour). I'm guessing he'll fly back tomorrow morning for the Indio concert. |

Adam Lambert - Pacific Amphitheater - 7/19/12blogs.ocweekly.com/heardmentality/2012/07/adam_lambert_pacific_amphithea.phpAdam Lambert Pacific Amphitheater 7/19/12 Glambert fever took over the Pacific Amphitheater last night as Adam Lambert belted out crowd favorites and brand new material in part of the Orange County Fair's summer concert series. In honor of his May sophomore album "Trespassing," fans paraded around with yellow crime tape to welcome the screaming, American Idol alumni. The night before, A.I.'s 2011 winner Scotty McCreery was gracing the stage for a very different (i.e. wholesome) countrified concert. Lambert, the first openly gay artist to top the Billboard Top 200 album chart at number one with Trespassing, took the stage with some serious disco diva swagger, tossing hits "Whataya Want From Me" and "If I Had You," along with a brand new variety in "Never Close Our Eyes" and "Naked Love". With poof'd gelled hair, limp wrist and a face plastered with makeup, Lambert vogued on the neon lit stage while wearing a stallion imprinted blazer, accompanied by a wailing guitarist with bright pink hair, a female bassist who challenged Lambert in the fashion department with Skrillex-style shaved hair. Of course our favorites in the band were two voluptuous black backup singers named "The Va Jay Jays". I must say it was nice to see girls with shape and meat on their bones singing and dancing in the spotlight. MORE... Wow. That review is....interesting. It definitely ENDS well, and - taken as a whole - is strongly positive, but the start is just so  Why would such an inherent narrow-minded dude decide to review a show he's obviously not interested in in the first place? Unless he was just told "Here's your assignment. Go." The cracks about the "wholesomeness" of Scotty McCreery and "limp wrists" were....fascinating.  That said, I give Adam huge props for winning such a hostile reviewer over by the end. But GEEZ!!  can I just say.. the guy is a fan of country music .. remember USA Today Brian Mansfield used to write about Adam like this?? ETA: but the guy really wrote in details about his hair and what he wore.. hhmm.. Okay I didn't read the whole review coz I don't want to give the guy another hit.. :-/ |
