Adam Lambert was typically great tonight covering U2 and Aerosmith, but to my mind, both Danny Gokey and Kris Allen turned in their best performances of the season. Tomorrow will be interesting.

Note the subhead: “*And not just because he might be gay.”

Adam Lambert’s patented wailing was well-suited to tonight’s rock theme, especially for a Led Zeppelin cover. Both Danny and Kris were disasters, but I still wouldn’t be surprised to see Alison go tomorrow night.

In the clip on the left, TMZ ambushes Adam Lambert and he *almost* outs himself. On the right, Anderson Cooper picks Lambert to win and disses Paula Abdul.

Everybody’s pick for next to go, Matt Giraud, was indeed next to go. The shocker was Adam Lambert placing in the bottom two. Immediately the fan forums lit up with cries of “set-up!” and “rigged!” as devotees speculated that the producers were engaging in shenanigans. Two words: Chris Daughtry.

Tonight was “rat pack” night on American Idol, in which the contestants were to deliver their takes on Dean Martin, Sammy Davis Jr., Frank Sinatra, etc. I’m not sure what Nina Simone has to do with the rat pack or big band, but Adam Lambert’s take on Feeling Good was typically bombastic and theatrical. His version was more

Tonight was disco night on American Idol and out of seven performances we got three Donna Summer songs (Hot Stuff, Dim All The Lights, She Works Hard For The Money) and two Bee Gees songs (Stayin’ Alive and If I Can’t Have You). Because that’s all there was to disco. Feh. Anyway, Adam blew everybody away, as usual, although Kris’ …

I’m not sure what kind of musical advice Quentin Tarantino was supposed to be giving on movie theme night, but tonight was surely the oddest of Idol’s guest coach moments. At this point, one must pity the other contestants, none of whom are outright terrible, for they are truly on a different show than Adam Lambert.

In today’s New York Times, Guy Trebay talks about American Idol favorite Adam Lambert’s love for eyeliner and whether a gay contestant can win the most popular show in America. Let’s imagine, then, that among the assorted warblers and strummers and leather-lunged divas that have made up the renewable cast of hopefuls on the country’s No. 1 television show, you …

Last night the contestants performed songs from the year of their birth – meaning everything sounded really recent to me. The show ran long and last-to-perform Adam Lambert was only allowed one judge review – a standing ovation from Simon Cowell.

Another killer performance from our boy Adam Lambert. There’s still eight weeks left in the competition, but at this point it seems the show is his to lose.

Our boy Adam Lambert finally won over even Simon Cowell tonight, who called Lambert’s Tracks Of My Tears “the best performance of the night.” And a standing ovation from the song’s writer, Smokey Robinson, sure doesn’t hurt. Ridiculously amazing. UPDATE: The highly accurate Dial Idol site shows Adam in first place.

Openly gay American Idol contestant Adam Lambert killed tonight with his strangely affecting gothy take on Johnny Cash’s classic, Ring Of Fire. The judges didn’t really know what to make of it, but tonight finally got me liking him. The bottom clip is where I suspect Lambert got his arrangement.

JMG reader Guy points us to the comments section of an Entertainment Weekly piece that ponders why American Idol hasn’t profiled the personal life of openly gay contestant Adam Lambert. After all, we know know that one contestant used to sing his homework, one has a sister who is also blind, and one was just widowed. It’s an interesting comment …

After last night’s performance, some folks are saying openly gay American Idol contestant Adam Lambert has positioned himself as a front runner. Sorry, but I’m just not feeling it yet. And where are this year’s trainwrecks? Where’s Sanjaya 2009?
