New tweet, but old article from 2016.. twitter.com/THR/status/1262564161063698438Critic's Picks: Top 10 'American Idol' FinalistsAs the countdown to the finale begins, THR TV critic Daniel J. Fienberg ranks his 10 favorite 'Idol' finalists through the years (shocker: no Carrie Underwood).
3. Adam LambertSeason 8, 2nd place Unlike Melinda Doolittle, who was never really the favorite in her season and was just blessed every week she remained, Adam Lambert probably was an Idol favorite and the question became whether or not the right kind of alternative would rise up to conquer the innovative, flashy, vocally dexterous performer.
Kris Allen was the right guy at the right time, doing many of the same ambitious things as Adam, only in a blander, more Middle America accessible package. And yes, that's probably all coded language. Kris Allen was good, but Adam Lambert was spectacular, as only a singer capable of adequately filling in for Freddie Mercury on a Queen world tour could be.
Adam's cover of "Mad World" became his signature, but that was oddly among the least experimental of his glamified performances. Lambert's voice is on par with any of the Idol greats, but what set him apart is the totality of his Idol persona, as carefully curated and composed as any the show every produced, and utterly unique.

Also a nice mention of Adam along with the author's number one favourite Fantasia: he names the 2 of them as the only 2 truly unique singers in his top 10. Safe to say the author really liked Adam's Idol run, lol. I don't know all the names on his list, and I would certainly put Adam on number 1, but I enjoyed reading the article, because the author genuinely seemed to be trying to be as objective as possible, while still acknowledging it was HIS favourite list, so it was going to be subjective, of course. And I think this must be the one and only list that does not include Carrie! I was surprised, because I thought she was such an American favourite (I don't like country music or know much about her personally, it was just my impression).

Adam was mentioned several times on the Masked Singer last night on FOX as a possibility for the "turtle" by Gordon Ramsey as guest judge. Used a good picture and said he sang for Queen. - I think they were showing reruns - I wasn't paying that much attention as I had it on just to make noise, but it was mentioned in two different episodes back to back.
