Q3 note: This is poorly translated by Google Translate and is a meh review of Adam Stockholm concert -- however, I try to keep a full record of all reviews. And, while I do not agree that Adam is anything like David Cassidy, I was once a bit David Cassidy fan and really don't think that is as big an insult as the review may have intended.

In the debate about whether it is right that Max Martin receive Polar Prize detractors claimed that he makes music for children. Someone prepubertal hysteria evident, however, when Adam Lambert is coming to town.
Concert: Adam Lambert
Scene: The Arena, Stockholm
Fredrik Strage
The American singer has climbed high on the charts with songs signed Max Martin and his partner Shellback. But the average age of the audience is around 30. These Glamberts, as Lambert's admirers usually called, appears to be more concerned for the villa installments over who to make out with at school dance.
Maybe Adam Lambert received many mature fans by shouldering Freddie Mercury's mantle and touring with Queen. Or has his audience had time to grow up during the seven years since he made his breakthrough in American Idol. Like many successful student, he won no television contest but came second. That he was gay and liked to wear plumes, lip gloss and high heels attracted attention in the United States.
With their second album, Lambert became the first openly gay artist to top the US album charts. As musical equilibristic gayaktivist with Swedish songwriter often compared him with Lady Gaga. Like her, he talks too much about how David Bowie inspired him to dare to be different.
In the arena makes Adam Lambert a technically perfect performance. Choreography, sound and light are perfect. A giant disco ball spinning in the ceiling and in her red leather outfit similar to Lambert, a superhero in The Avengers. But despite all the glitter and all the trappings, he is strangely anonymous. The concert recalls that Idol did not produce idols, but all-round entertainer. Adam Lambert is more musical than a pop star, more pleasant than dramatic, more David Cassidy than David Bowie.
Though it is not possible to complain about the repertoire that includes many of Max Martin and Shellbacks main works: "ghost town" is a handsome house fling with a hyper-infectious whistle, "If I Had You" a piece dumflåsig but suggestive aerobics-pop and " another lonely night "a ballad whose electroblippiga crescendo get Lambert's falsetto raising the stratosphere.
But there is nothing harsh in his voice, no slash. Lambert's "Whataya want from me," which was written by Max Martin, Shellback, Pink, can not compete with the latter version that is less sanitized and much more erratic.
Towards the end of the concert will be songs ever rockier and funkier. Live band gets more leeway in a series of tough solos and Adam Lambert shows up as a vocal virtuoso, including in an equally tight as uninteresting cover of Queen's "Another one bites the dust." All thirty-year Glamberts seems anyway satisfied. They rejoice, forming his hands into the hearts and answer his dinky Colgateleende.
Adam Lambert has undeniably both appearance and voice resources. But how much he talks about being unique and special here, very few attempts at originality. It does not feel as if he is creating something yourself, but, like a painter without ambition, fill in the numbered boxes on a black and white picture from Panduro Hobby.
2/5 stars.
