Glamberts ‘R Us: Throngs turn out in fab-glam style for Adam Lambert’s show at WinStar World Casino

A fab-glam time was had by everyone at the Adam Lambert concert on Friday night at WinStar World Casino in Thackerville, Okla. The “Glambert” (as his fans are known) was high, with scads of glitter, sequins and bright colors in the audience.
For his part, Lambert seemed a more mature, relaxed performer than at his last shows in North Texas (at the Palladium Ballroom in Dallas and the WinStar in the summer of 2010, on his “Glam Nation” tour.) The previous shows, while spotlighting Lambert’s magnificent voice, also were bedazzled with flash, with lots and lots of costumes and heavy choreography.
On Friday, Lambert changed costumes only once (from tight red pants and black top to a slightly more rock-star shirt featuring leopard print and stars with shiny leather pants) and focused on the music and the audience, showing gleeful interaction with the fans and grooving to the music is a less-choreographed, more natural manner.
His set was a mix from his debut post-American Idol CD, For Your Entertainment and the follow-up, this year’s Trespassing. He started and ended with two irresistible dance numbers, “Shady” and “Cuckoo.” Along the way he sang the living daylights out of the hit ballad “Whataya Want From Me,” and instigated an outbreak of frantic audience pogo-ing with “If I Had You.”
The crowd went wild for the “lose control” vibe of “Naked Love,” which Lambert introduced with heartfelt words about “stripping off naked, getting rid of all the BS and keeping it real.” It was a relatively short show, with just a dozen songs, but one got the feeling the audience would have happily done what “Cuckoo” suggests: “Party till they take us away.” I know that colleague Rand Duren and I would have stayed till Adam was singing the phone book — and beyond.
