By Maura Johnston GLOBE CORRESPONDENT FEBRUARY 25, 2016 Adam Lambert’s career is a peculiarly 21st-century one, having taken routes that didn’t exist before the turn of the millennium. It’s a good thing that those new avenues have opened up, though — he’s a singular talent, with a powerful, supple voice that suits dancefloor bangers as well as it does stadium-shaking rockers. Lambert first rose to national prominence during the eighth season of “American Idol,” when his outsized performances and acrobatic voice redefined the potential of the Fox singing competition. He didn’t win, but he made his mark; his first post-“Idol” album, “For Your Entertainment,” spawned the brooding adult-contemporary hit “Whataya Want From Me,” and in 2011 he stepped into the shoes of Freddie Mercury when he joined Queen as vocalist. Wednesday’s show at House of Blues showed how Lambert’s voice and stage presence have evolved in the years since his “Idol” run. While he’s still a shape-shifter — balancing moody EDM-tinged tracks like “Things I Didn’t Say” with taut rockers like the “Dirty Diana”-nodding “Lucy” — on his third album, 2015’s “The Original High,” he expanded his voice’s texture and range, and that wider palette was on full display Wednesday. He’s also settled into his stage presence nicely, with between-song banter that was just chatty enough. The end of the night, though, showed how his unabashed, acrobatic voice is especially well-suited to the dancefloor. A faithful yet vibrant cover of David Bowie’s “Let’s Dance” segued into “Lay Me Down,” Lambert’s disco-fried collaboration with the Swedish megaproducer Avicii. The dance party continued with the bass-heavy “Shady,” from his 2012 album “Trespassing”; the sleaze-glitter anthem “Fever,” from his debut; and the stompers “These Boys” and “If I Had You,” which closed out the sweaty second half of the set. (The set list’s nod to Chic guitarist Nile Rodgers, who co-produced Bowie’s 1983 album “Let’s Dance” and collaborated on “Lay Me Down” and “Shady,” provided a nice Easter egg.) When Lambert encored with the feisty title track to “Trespassing,” a smooth interpolation of the sinewy “Another One Bites the Dust” not only paid tribute to Lambert’s other gig, it showed how he can easily shape-shift from celebrated pop star to flamboyant rock frontman in the blink of an eye.

www.masslive.com/entertainment/index.ssf/2016/02/review_adam_lambert_thrills_fo.htmlReview: Adam Lambert thrills Foxwoods casino crowd By Ray Kelly | rkelly@repub.com on February 27, 2016 at 12:28 AM, updated February 27, 2016 at 1:04 AM MASHANTUCKET, Conn. – Since finishing second on Season 8 of "American Idol" seven years ago, Adam Lambert has gone on to sell more than 2.5 million records, earn a reoccurring role on the TV show "Glee," and front a highly successful world tour with Queen. Poor fellow. Imagine how well he could have done if he had won. With "Idol" and Queen behind him, Lambert brought his flashy, energetic "The Original High" tour to the Grand Theater at Foxwoods Resort Casino on Friday night. His 16-song set included selections from his three Top 10 studio albums. He opened the show with the catchy "Evil in the Night" from his most recent effort "The Original High." The 2015 Warner Bros. release was Lambert's first album since leaving RCA Records. The 34-year-old Indianapolis native quickly followed with "For Your Entertainment," the title track from his 2009 debut album. His most successful single, "Whataya Want From Me," proved to be the crowd favorite, while the driving "The Light / The Original High / Never Close Our Eyes" was a standout showcasing not only Lambert's vocal prowess, but the skill of his tight backup band. Moving at a brisk pace, he offered original tunes and a few choice covers, such as David Bowie's "Let's Dance," Tears for Fear's "Mad World" and Queen's "Another One Bites the Dust." He closed the night with "These Boys" before returning to encore with "If I Had You." Lambert's 78-minute performance began 45 minutes after opening act Alex Newell left the stage. Perhaps, the lengthy delay led to the decision to drop four songs from the tour's standard setlist. Newell delivered a strong 30-minute set featuring the crowd pleasing "Basically Over You." The 23-year-old Lynn native has impressive vocal cords, but needs to ditch the giggly stage patter with references to his beautiful jacket or his hair weave. SETLIST 2.26.2016 "Evil in the Night" "For Your Entertainment" "Ghost Town" "Underground" "Rumors" "Whatdaya Want From Me" "Lucy" "After Hours" "Mad World" "Another Lonely Night" "The Light / The Original High / Never Close Our Eyes" "Fever" "Let's Dance" "Trespassing" "Another One Bites the Dust" "These Boys" encore "If I Had You"
