m.washingtontimes.com/news/2012/m....-willie-nelson/Adam Lambert is cut from a different cloth. He may not have won the competition in 2009 - that honor went to Kris Allen, another member of the everyman pack - but he’s one of the best vocalists to emerge from the show in at least five years, with a range as broad as the Appalachians and a tone that sounds like Freddie Mercury’s Broadway-trained cousin after a night of heavy drinking. Oh, that voice. It howls like a banshee one minute and croons like a balladeer the next, sliding its way into a deep, oscillating vibrato whenever a little extra color is needed. During the title track’s bridge, Mr. Lambert even sounds a bit like Michael Jackson circa “Dangerous,” ad-libbing a few lines over squelching guitars and urban dance beats. This is the sort of bombastic voice that deserves to win singing competitions, coupled with the kind of flashy personality that keeps an audience’s attention long after the...

it’s almost expected given the strength of Lambert’s vocal prowess. He masterfully exerts perfect control, changing pitch, intonation and volume effortlessly as his voice remains sharp, clear and at the forefront of the music. It’s not often I make note of the talent of those I write about in this column, but Lambert has proved himself the exception. www.nuintel.net/culture/adam-lambert-is-back-gearing-up-to-sit-on-pop-throne/ |

From the opener to the end of this deluxe edition, Lambert showcases sterling vocals...... Vocally, Lambert is unique in today’s crop of singers. I would have preferred if the pop-ballad Underneath were stripped down throughout the song with just the piano, as in the start, to better showcase his crystal clear voice. The melody in the track, Running, is reminiscent of the pop-rock of the 1980s. Here, Lambert displays his low register while hitting the octaves somewhere in the middle just to jolt us into remembering why he was memorable on the TV reality vocal contest. www.nst.com.my/life-times/sunday-life-times/blown-away-by-carrie-1.87943Read more: Blown away by Carrie - Sunday Life & Times - New Straits Times www.nst.com.my/life-times/sunday-life-times/blown-away-by-carrie-1.87943#ixzz1w2Vxxmup |

On the other hand, his ballads defy pop music’s cookie-cutter mold: The power of “Broken English” rests on Lambert’s malleable pipes, while the ethereal “Underneath” shines with its persuasive theatricality. “Outlaws of Love” is a smooth ballad that demonstrates the singer’s depth as a performer—and his enviable octaves! entertainment.inquirer.net/43655/....-and-kris-allen |

And that voice indeed. Because honestly, from his days on Idol to his rushed, irregularly glammy first album...his voice, literally soars over all. His tender, falsetto start to ballad "Outlaws Of Love" is spun sugar, which slowly builds into crystalline, rock-candy wails by the end. And the songs lyrics ("Everywhere we go /We're lookin' for the sun /Nowhere to grow old/We're always on the run/They say we'll rot in Hell/But I don't think we will/ They've branded us enough/Outlaws of love) bravely stakes out Lambert's place as a stalwart, un-pushy, activist as well as a true-blue pop musician. And his voice, literally and metaphorically, is stronger than ever. convertzofgoodtaste.blogspot.com/....t.html?spref=tw |

Over a year old article written by Angelina Kalahari published with her permission: ExcerptIt has been a revelation and exciting beyond words, however, to experience this journey with such an extraordinarily talented performer and vocal master as Adam Lambert. It has also been enormously enlightening to witness some of his inner performances, because his enormous success has its roots, most likely, in the fact that Adam seems to have given himself permission to fail.
