the first time tuned in to American Idol from audition days to the finale was last season 7. my bet, David Cook, won and i was glad. now the second time, i'm more glad. seems that my choice for an Idol, Adam Lambert, is going to hit the nail and snitch the crown.
when Adam Lambert worked out his pipes and sang Queen's Bohemian Rhapsody, i knew from that moment he's going to be one of those who'll make it all the way up to the finals. the 27-year-old Californian happens to be a trained and experienced performer from being involved in musical theatre as Joshua in "The Ten Commandments" alongside Val Kilmer and Fiyero in "Wicked" to being a singer in different parts of the Golden State.
being on Idol just heightens his opportunity of being known as the modern day Steve Tyler, Freddie Mercury, and even Elvis Presley (for his looks). he introduced Idol to a lot of "firsts" and "bests": Simon's first standing ovation after the performance of a contestant, Paula's first performance on the Idol stage, first Led Zeppelin song to be sung on stage (Whole Lotta Love), best entrance of a performer (according to Simon), "best we've seen in every city" (according to Paula)...

Adam Lambert's musical abilities could be the best i've ever seen in Idol history. he's almost capable of singing every kind of song you could ever think of, making it his own original version viewers will remember. he's the most confident performer, not afraid of giving all he got on stage and being true to himself. he truly is ADAMAZING!
