I finally found something. People aren't really "star struck" here. Note most of the fans are Adam fans.
'Idols Live Tour' descends on Portland, Ore. | Idol Tracker | Los Angeles Times (http://latimesblogs.latimes.com/americanidoltracker/2009/07/idols-live-tour-descends-on-portland-or.html - broken link)
The only reason I bought tickets is to see Adam. I will enjoy seeing the others with anticipation to see Adam, almost at the end for his time in the spotlight. The group songs are pretty good too. I enjoyed it last year when I went
I was just checking up on some things and found this article. It's a few months old. Three opera experts discuss their views on Adam. One even thought Adam would win AI.
One expert thinks Adam's version of Whole Lotta Love is better than Zeppelin's; another said he will be the first in line to buy Adam's solo album - "I love his voice", and another compares Adam's charisma to that of Caruso and Pavarotti. Not bad company, but like we didn't know this already?~
PS: A little fix...The Citizen Vein band with our front man. From 2007.
Adam talks about what MJ meant to him.
Clip:
For the Idol finale, we were rehearsing at his space in Burbank and so were the Michael Jackson dancers. And I happen to know their choreographer, and he pulled me over into the rehearsal space and I watched a number. They were rehearsing "Jam," and it looked incredible. The dancers were amazing. I was really excited for Michael: I thought, good, he's got a chance to do a comeback. I was told he was really interested in meeting me and I'm really disappointed that we never made it happen.
We were in the middle of rehearsing the tour when we heard the sad news. I was singing "Whole Lotta Love" and Lil Rounds ran into the room and whispered something into the producer's ear. And we were all like, "What's going on?" I kept singing and looked over at them with a confused look on my face and one of the producers mouthed to me, "Michael Jackson just died." I went, "What?" and stopped singing. Everybody just stopped. We canceled rehearsals for the rest of the day. No one could really believe it. He affected us through entertainment. What he was capable of as a showman, and what he brought to the world, outshone any controversy. Michael Jackson Remembered: Adam Lambert on Icon's Imagination : Rolling Stone
"I cannot help but think that some of the magic and creativity and power we saw in Michael Jackson we are now seeing in Adam Lambert. "
The difference that's going for Adam is him living a normal life for 27 years! MJ is the king, but as a star from childhood he never really knew normal life... So interesting how it will play out in Adam's life.
