American Idol recap: Adam Lambert mentors and two more contestants get sent home
Hey, remember when Dimitrius Graham got voted off last week even though he was one of the best vocalists on the show? Cool, cool, cool. Well, at least we have the return of Idol alum Adam Lambert to soothe our souls. Speaking of Idol injustices, remember when Adam Lambert came in second place on his season? I love me some Kris Allen (I still listen to his cover of “Heartless”!) but, like, come on, Adam dominated that season. To be honest, ending up the frontman for Queen is one of the best post-Idol journeys in history, so he’s probably not too sad about how the whole thing shook out.
It’s very appropriate that Adam is mentoring tonight since the Top 8 will be taking on Queen’s greatest hits. Also, because Idol can’t help itself, they’ll be doing “famous movie duets.” And then at the end of the night, two more contestants will be eliminated. I’m feeling very overwhelmed! To the stage!
Walker Burroughs // “Crazy Little Thing Called Love” by Queen
Walker knows his strength is most definitely not moving around the stage, so it’s actually great to have a little mentor session with Adam Lambert, who is a master at that very thing. Adam’s advice is to be intentional and be himself. In the end, sure, it’s a little awkward, but that’s probably one of the reasons Walker’s made it so far. People are into the awkward. It’s not the most memorable performance of Walker’s or the night, but it’s nothing to sniff at either.
Madison Vandenburg // “The Show Must Go On” by Queen
I would like to go on a sabbatical that consists solely of Adam Lambert coaching me on how to walk. Did you see that? Madison’s big hurdle here is to bring the drama. Adam can tell she has a tremendous voice, but she can’t make this performance look too easy or casual. Make it hurt, he tells her. I’M TAKING NOTES, ADAM. By the end, the judges are on their feet. Luke saw the “diva moment” Adam told her to go after. He thinks it is her best performance in the competition, maybe the best vocal they’ve heard all season. Those are big words, cowboy!
