Adam Lambert American Idol Video

Adam Lambert videos on YouTube far outnumber videos of any of the other American Idol season 8 contestants. Is he the American Idol Hunk?Adam Lambert is the 27-year-old rock singer from Hollywood, California who is known already for a flamboyant appearance–black hair, eye makeup, foundation, black nail polish–is just as noteworthy for his no holds barred performance style, that give one the feeling one is already watching a rock concert in an arena. Love him or hate him, he brings maturity and confidence to his style. By his own assessment, this comes from his lengthy background in musical theater which dates back to his childhood.

It’s no wonder Adam Lambert videos have become a YouTube phenomena as well. He sang Queen’s Bohemian Rhapsody for his original American Idol audition and went on to delivered a powerhouse performance of The Rolling Stones’ iconic song “Satisfaction.” All four judges concurred that the singer had reached a high level of accomplishment that made him a standout among contestants. Randy Jackson compared his appeal to that of ‘Twilight’ star Robert Pattinson.

Not finished dazzlingly the audience, Adam Lambert delivered such a strong performance of “Black and White” on Michael Jackson week, Randy Jackson told him, ‘You could make a record right now and it would sail right to the top.’

Adam Lambert most recently was a sensation on the Randy Travis-mentored Grand Ole Opry week on American Idol as he sang a cover of country music legend Johnny Cash’s signature song Ring of Fire. The arrangement was scored with sitars and was reminiscent of a Led Zeppelin/Jeff Buckley Ring of Fire. Or perhaps a mashup of Ravi Shankar and The Doors.

The performance is sure to be an American Idol season 8 classic. Simon Cowell after expressing the opinion that the performance might be enough to cause people to ‘throw their television sets out the window,’ went on to throw his own metaphorical TV out the window by saying, ‘I thought the performance was absolute indulgent rubbish’ and ‘really, really horrific!’ But Randy Jackson assessed as ‘Nine Inch Nails doing a country song,’ and added, ‘It’s young! It’s fresh! It’s hot!’

Adam Lambert is not going unnoticed on YouTube. It isn’t just the videos of his performances, there are scores of tribute videos; slide shows of photographs fans have taken the time and trouble to upload and set to his studio recordings. It would appear to add up to bankable star power and that he is a hunk in the Twilight tradition, indeed another Robert Pattinson.

There is endless speculation, as people search for the definitive answer to the question: Is Adam Lambert gay? Photos surfaced that led some to that conclusion. In the larger context, there has been discussion as to whether married Idol members must, similarly downplay their marital status. It is somewhat reminiscent of Old Hollywood where the illusion factory needed seemingly single and available stars to fuel public imagination and passion.
