Adam Lambert live in Vienna: revival of Pop
translation:
It was a sad year to date for music lovers: Only Lemmy, then Bowie and recently even Prince - occurs a great hero of Pop from after another. The Süddeutsche Zeitung was so desperate that they even the "year, in the music died" wrote. That Britney should throw a new album on the market in the next few weeks, also helps not really there.

. Yesterday Thursday, 05/02, but we have hope again drawn into the world of music, in the Popzirkus, in legends - or at least we think again that there are artists who have the potential to become legends. Because last night honored pop chameleon Adam Lambert Wiener Gasometer concert hall - and proved impressively that (pop) music is more alive than ever. But not only that: He took with boundless energy, psychedelic light shows, bombastic video walls and an impressive vocal acrobatics, but especially with a lot of ease, eroticism and a lot of fun, the Pop to its origins back: namely to everything / all unifying ease feet and heart equally brings to hopping.

Teething problems

Meanwhile, were the sign before the concert not so good that the evening would be a success: Although already the mood in the crowd formed hours before doors a large crowd in front of the location, scrum, Geschupse and poorly organized organizer could but soon a minimum sink. Nevertheless, one could see in more detail in order, you could already guess what should be expected for a pop event had an hours later: In the packed crowd to Lambert-look-a-likes were just like screaming teen girls, gray mice, older couples or gay and lesbian couples. An openly gay artist who knows how to inspire in all social classes and - as Lambert the evening itself will later say - beyond sexual orientation, gender, age or nationality (many fans had traveled from abroad!) United. The numerous female teens (the part before the entrance were waiting to noon on intake!) Despite offensively lived homosexuality to fainting and circle Chat Tacken enraptures - and the numerous on stage stuffed animals, love animals and bras flying (!). "Guuuurl, did you pay attention to the whole show ?!" said Lambert turns amused and emphasizes kinked wrist and sexy hip movements to the BH-thrower. "I love dick!" What the audience - and now Bra loose lady - even more brings to screech. The last one has ... well, actually in Bowie, Prince or Freddie Mercury (as the official successor to Lambert may designate quiet thanks to his Queens-intermezzo) seen. Pop lives.

Until it is so far, Lambert is slow in coming nearly two hours. A DJ who rather acts like a sleeping pill on stage and carelessly absurd Partyhits throws at the restless expectant audience shortened for approximately 30 minutes, the waiting time (or should it at least do), which does not make the atmosphere but better. For - to some extent confusing - Amusement Lambert hits, which are interspersed repeatedly in the music systems provide. In the first two times even amusing, one wondered at the latest during the third Lambert song if the Good consumes its tracklist already before the concert even starts. Worries unfounded: Since there were many hits come this evening. And to use his own songs before their own concert by the organizer, which also brings only someone cope with the certain attitude.

Dance-rock instead Glamrock

And Attitude having Adam Lambert. He proves from the very first second when he "in the Night Evil" starts with the electro-pop hit. His outfit of futuristic sunglasses, leather pants, metallic gloves, platform boots and the numerous tattoos that adorn his muscular arms, already give an idea: Since someone is standing on the stage, playing all Stückerl of Entertainment. The has fun on stage and with impressive ease won the audience from the first note to the touch. This yells, rages, applauding, clapping and jumping from the outset, Lambert adores when he was actually reborn Mercury (or Bowie. Or Prince. The selection is unfortunately large). A connection between the singer and his audience is established immediately - even though he directed the first personal words to his fans after the half of the concert. The but with so much charm, wit irony and self-confidence that one forgives him quickly. Also, because he in love with us out flirting and all of us find very sexy. Lambert knows what the human soul desires.

lambert presents himself male much more than in previous years, during the show. Someone finally seems to have arrived at is: Glam Rock is the dance-rock (if there is something) faded. Instead black eyeliner, there are now three-day beard, tattoos, a muscular body and a white bleached (and always perfectly fitting) quiff - only the black painted nails have remained. Yes, even his biggest hit "What do you want from me," he sings deeper than the original a few pitches in "After Hours" he gives himself emphasized lascivious easy, without being overdone. Since experience has rubbed with Queen well - or Lambert's how the saying goes, just grown up. This boy has matured in recent years for man, has evolved from a talent show participants the Queen frontman and acclaimed pop star. Lambert has to exceed stage presence, courage, boundaries - and a lot of sex. Every single note, every single move is pure eroticism - which Lambert also know and use to make: Several times that night he grabs his crotch, can lascivious hips circling and licking provocative lips. It is a mix of Lady Gaga and - sorry, again - Freddie Mercury, which Lambert presented here with a lot of self-confidence. His performance is a mixture of (Boyband-) choreography (support he is assisted by two very extrovierten dancers) and spontaneity - because we'll meet by its other concerts of "The Original High" tour on, notice that the show not always exactly the same, the songs are different sung, yes even change the costumes ever. Apropos: Thrice changes Lambert during the show his outfit. He stands by his female colleagues about anything.

vocal acrobat

The sound spectrum is just as broad as Lamberts vocal range: from dance, pop, rock, disco and ballads throws Lambert everything out what he has to offer (many medleys give the impression of wanting to be beaten as many songs). It seems a thousand voices to carry with them, which he rightly considered how it suits him. Clear: He never will his musical beginnings go when "In The Night Evil" singing or offensively so eerie rock scenarios like "Welcome To The Show" out fires. And, yes: his hobbyhorse remains consistently the selected minimum Party Electro, but rarely kicks over the traces and can thereby better unfold live its full effect as on CD. "Ghost Town" is to be hit with this fluffy synths and funky pipes; he has been playing as a third and is the first highlight among many. Nevertheless, it is surprising how rocky the evening - for example, in "Lucy", in which Adams guitarist animal loose fires insane solos, or - clearly - in "Another one bites the dust". Vocally Lambert is on to the last tone top, spotless it appears in each his pitches and sometimes blares going on when there's no tomorrow. Pity that, especially in its electric-oriented songs his voice always comes into play, as they deserved. The sometimes problematic acoustics of the gasometer not helped as well.

Mix of close and aloofness

At the end of the night, you can actually feel to have witnessed a revival of Pop - and not in the form of a squeaky-hilarious Wonderland à la Katy Perry, but an adult pop firmament which are the hall in a sometimes bleak Party Club transformed.

Quite contrary to the stage to Lambert gave shy before the event: No interviews, no public appearances. The only exception: The @ tipp3 Walk of Stars Mini appearance, also at the Gasometer, two hours before the concert. Again, he was slow in coming. "Diva", "bitchy" whispered as already several journalists. As Lambert then turns up, he is in good spirits, professional-friendly and does what is expected of him: Release Cool sayings, sympathetic smile and grimace. For autographs and selfies he takes only a short time before (three in a row, what the press present wrests a smug smile) is taken by the hand and led away by his bodyguards. But what one can say in a few minutes: Adam Lambert radiates star power, which is perhaps the greatest as the artist himself who exactly makes up but the fascination of the singer. A mix of proximity and detachment. Coupled with very much eroticism. Freddie Mercury would have been proud. And David Bowie and Prince were also determined.
