Adam Lambert – One & Cryin’

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.

Adam Lambert – Whole Lotta Love

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.

Adam Lambert – Feeling Good

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

Adam Lambert – Born To Be Wild

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.

Adam Lambert – Mad World

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.

Adam Lambert – Tracks Of My Tears

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.

Adam Lambert – Ring Of Fire

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.

Matt Alber – End Of The World

Here’s the gorgeous new video from openly gay singer Matt Alber, who was once a member of the critically raved and Grammy-winning male vocal ensemble Chanticleer. I played this several times for friends over the weekend and we couldn’t decide if Alber sounds more like Ben Folds or Rufus Wainwright, but we all agreed we’d kinda fallen in love with …
