Just before the re-airing of the whole Michael Jackson theme show from the last American Idol Season 8 that will be sent on Monday 29th of June as a tribute to the late King of Pop, I take a look back on the press comments after Adam Lambert’s performance of ‘Black or White’.
According to mlive.com (by Associated Press):
If the “American Idol” judges have their way, it won’t be curtains for Adam Lambert anytime soon. The 26-year-old theater actor from Los Angeles seamlessly impressed the panel — and eclipsed his 12 co-finalists — with an energized rendition of the tune “Black or White” during Tuesday’s Michael Jackson-themed performance show.
and on March 12, 2009, Arrie Othman writing at associatedcontent.com is sure that Adam will be the next American Idol:
He did it again! On Tuesday night, Adam Lambert burnt the stage with Jackson’s ‘Black & White’. While some of the audience loath his screaming, he seems to get approval from the majority of the audience. It is always not so easy to sing Jackson’s number, but Adam Lambert turned the song into his own, almost rock ‘n roll version of Black & White. He made full use of the stage, establishing contact with screaming fans while singing. Everyone was screaming for more when he stopped.
The best thing about Lambert is him being himself. Unlike other contestants, he didn’t have to put in extra effort, no hairstyle changing, or being a drama queen. He is always natural, and delivers the best performance. If there is an offer from any recording company, he would be the only contestant who is ready and deserves the contract.
