No scandal but Adam Lambert electrifies with countdown concert -
Jan 1, 2016 7:27pm
BY:NOOR ASHIKIN ABDUL RAHMAN
Headliner Adam Lambert’s electrifying performance at MediaCorp’s Celebrate 2016 countdown show to usher in the new year did not disappoint.
Even the intermittent rain did little to dampen the spirits of the 10,000-strong crowd at The Float @ Marina Bay.
But the 20,065 “concerned citizens... parents... (and) individuals” who signed an online petition in November to remove him from the event lineup might feel let down.
After all, the American Idol 8 runner-up kept his two-part performance on Thursday night squeaky clean, family-friendly and free of provocative stage antics.
His dissenters had feared that the 33-year-old US singer, who is openly gay and carried out same-gender smooches and oral sex mimicry previously seen during his live performances in the past, was an “inappropriate choice” who “could turn an otherwise dignified family-friendly event into a situation that is offensive and potentially divisive”.
On the contrary, Lambert’s sets were respectful of the diverse audience members and united them in the spirit of ringing in 2016 with positivity.
He spoke little on stage but his high spirits and energy levels showed that he was unfazed by the negativity he received.
Technician Louis Quek, 42, who was there with his wife and 10-year-old son, told The New Paper: “I thought Adam Lambert was a star and put on a good show befitting a countdown event like this.
I don’t think he is a bad influence because of his personal choices, which we should respect, and I was sure he would tone down his act for tonight. My family enjoyed it very much.”
Lambert took to the stage 30 minutes prior to the eight-minute fireworks display at the stroke of midnight, dressed in a simple monochromatic get-up and sporting his trademark coif, for his first set that was televised live on Channel 5.
Glamberts, as his ardent fans call themselves, screamed his name and sang along to his hits like Evil In The Night, Ghost Town, Whataya Want From Me and Trespassing.
He launched a surprise second set at about 12.15am, breaking out with more familiar hits like Mad World and If I Had You.
It was not televised but Lambert behaved all the way until his showcase ended at about 1am.
His show in Singapore kicked off the Asian leg of his world tour, in promotion of his third and latest album The Original High.
Said chef Fiqah Wee, 25: “After he introduced his band members and moved on to his microphone stand, I nearly expected a pole dance... but that didn’t happen. I thought he would be wilder but
I enjoyed his performance all the same. He is so sexy.”
Diehard Glambert and student Nur Athirah Syamimi said that she was happy with his performance even if he steered clear of his past shock tactics. When asked about the petition, she said:
“We’re of a generation that should accept everyone for who they are. Surely you would feel upset if someone set up a petition preventing you from doing what you like and being yourself.
Controversial or not, his antics are just for your entertainment.”
Added the 19-year-old: “He respected the concerns of the people here and stayed away from doing anything crazy. We had fun and he seemed like he did too, and that is what is important.”

Queen with Adam Lambert arrives at Barcelona
By Ariel Alan
The band will perform a concert at the Palau Sant Jordi in Barcelona on May 22, 2016, this being their only concert in Spain.
It all started when Adam Lambert was competing in the "American Idol" in 2009, Program and one of the shows nothing less than Brian May and Roger Taylor, original members of Queen, acted with him. The chemistry was immediate, and the general comment was that this union would not be there. That was how Lambert joined the legendary band for world tours, and now come, for the first time to Spain. The concert will be at the Palau Sant Jordi in Barcelona on May 22, 2016, as announced by the promoter Live Nation said in a statement.
