Post-gazette.com made a review from the American Idol concert in Pittsburgh, written by Scott Mervis and published today.

Last night at the Mellon Arena, one thing was clearly reinforced in front of the near sold-out crowd: Adam Lambert is star material.
If Elvis Presley and Edward Scissorhands could somehow have a child, it would look somewhat like this Idol runner-up who has already graced the cover of Rolling Stone and will have to come up with some absolutely abysmal songs to not top the charts when his album drops.
Lambert came out ninth in a swirl of fog to the power chords of “Whole Lotta Love,” dressed like a leather-clad villain in “Terrordome.” Then he backed up the glam-rock swagger with a beautifully supple voice that can hit the notes and take them to the next level.
Along with the Led Zep tune and a Bowie medley — who ever would expect “Life on Mars” in such a mainstream show? — Lambert did a dreamy version of Muse’s “Starlight” and then sang Tears for Fears’ “Mad World” like an angel. Although the crowd had its share of screaming little girls, it didn’t stop Lambert from going NC-17 during “Whole Lotta Love” by putting the mike stand between his legs and doing a long slow stroke to freak out their moms.
