www.azcentral.com/thingstodo/music/articles/20121018adam-lambert-phoenix-concert-review-arizona-state-fair.htmlAdam Lambert gets personal at Arizona State Fairby Serene Dominic - Oct. 18, 2012 12:12 PM It's not meant as a knock to say that Adam Lambert is the ideal act for the Arizona State Fair. Lacking the oldie pedigree of some of the scheduled performers befitting an arena named Veterans Memorial Coliseum, Lambert is young and current enough to be relevant to the tweens, yet familiar enough to older generations thanks to the across-the-board appeal "American Idol," on which he rose to fame as the runner-up of season 8 (if you can name the winner of that year without Googling it, well, you must be Kris Allen's manager). That was three years ago, an eternity in pop time, a span during which Lambert became the first openly gay mainstream pop artist launched in America through the magic of television, as well as the first to have an album debut in the top spot on the Billboard 200 album chart. And he's the first singer to fill Freddie Mercury's ballet slippers on tour with Queen to make perfect sense sonically and sartorially. And at his State Fair show Wednesday, Oct. 17, Lambert's flamboyance and repertoire of hits and near-hits seemed to hearken back to a time in pop music when Freddie wasn't dead, dance was king and 1999 was still well off in the future. Bounding onstage with a yellow-and-black-striped mike stand that looked like it had been poached from Stryper's travel cases, Lambert deftly moved from Jacko-inspired pop (his Pharrell Williams collaborations "Kickin' In" and "Trespassing," and his interpolation of "Smooth Criminal" into "Pop That Lock") to Chic-funk (his Nile Rogers collaboration "Shady"), with a good deal of Prince sprinkled in liberally ("Naked Love" and the party-like-there's-no-tomorrow encore "Cuckoo"). more..

It was such a fun, goofy, sexy, energetic concert! I didn't know what to expect when it came to crowd reaction and size, 'cuz we have minimal radio play here and nothing from his new album at all, and plus, this is Arizona, conservative with a capital C! Boy! was I pleasantly surprised and thrilled! 
The venue, from where I saw (I was smacked right in the middle of the floor) was definitely more than half full and considering it's a week day, a damn good turn-out! Then, the anticipation when the time got closer, you could just tell people started getting really antsy and feel the electricity in the air started to charge up, ready to explode at the first sight of Adam Lambert, which was exactly what happened --- the place roared on its feet!
Most of the people (including myself) stood up the entire (or most of) concert, from my point of view, and we danced, we jumped, and we bounced just like any other Adam Lambert concerts. We did great! Phoenix did great!!
This was my 2 kids' very first concert and the first Adam Lambert concert for my hubby (a Bruce Springsteen fan). They all enjoyed it very much, in their own ways. Although when Adam didn't show up on stage at exactly 7p, my hubby, a man of precision and punctuality, said to me that there's no reason he shouldn't start the concert at 7, I laughed out loud at that then proceeded to give him the little 411, "oh, honey, Adam is hardly ever on time, try 7:30." But, the mommy inside me was chanting a different tune: "c'mon! Adam! It's a school night!" :4OMG:

This is a really good article and worth reading the whole thing. Thanks for bringing it over Wal. |
