After seeing the concert in Tacoma Dome on the 7th of July 2009, Misha Berson wrote at seattletimes.com about Adam Lambert:
If the number of earsplitting screams and shrieks erupting from every mention of his name or glimpse of his face on the JumboTron was any indication, glam rocker Adam Lambert was the superstar of the “American Idols Live!” 2009 summer tour’s concert Tuesday night at the Tacoma Dome. (…)
The much-anticipated Lambert set began with the aptly titled “Whole Lotta Love” and moved on to Muse’s “Starlight,” then the haunting Tears for Fears ballad “Mad World” and a David Bowie medley that drove the Adam-worshippers to even louder screams of passion.
It’s not overstating the case to suggest that Lambert really does have the makings of a revivalist, glam-metal rock avatar. The whisper-to-a-scream voice, the pouty sexiness, the elaborate makeup and Lizard King costuming, the androgynous sex appeal — it’s all there, just like on the tube, but with wildly pulsating video and more smoke.
By the end of his set, though, Lambert’s shtick felt a bit too predictable in its conscious excessiveness. And though no entertainer in their right mind would want to follow his act, the casually attired (plaid shirt, jeans) Allen did so with amazing grace.
