Adam Lambert

I’ve only seen Adam Lambert sing a handful of songs now on American Idol but I’m starting to hear a pattern. Starts low, jumps into jazzy broadway-esque musical theater only to push the upper register throughout the last third of the song until he unleashes that god-awful failed 80’s metal band screech. Too predictable and seriously, when he hits that high note where his tongue falls out of his head, I literally have to look away because my ears react like a dog to a dog whistle. I can’t stand the sound.

I wonder if Adam got the huge review last night because the judges know people actually don’t want to vote for him and they want to keep him in the competition. My wife doesn’t think so. She actually likes him.
