Adam Lambert Leads a Strong Rat Pack
by Hilton Hater at .What an impressive evening of American Idol auditions.
Faced with songs from the 1960s, sung by the Rat Pack, all five finalists were at their best last night. Even guest mentor Jamie Foxx was on his game, showing enthusiasm and attentiveness to each singer. (And he didn't mock Miley Cyrus once!)
As always, though, we must give the top spot to Adam Lambert.
Wearing a white suit, the season-long favorite began his performance of "Feeling Good" by coming down the the on-set staircase, lit up in neon pink. He proceeded to deliver a powerful rendition of the ballad, marking the end with a trademark, soaring high note.
"It's like watching the Olympics and you're our Michael Phelps," Paula Abdul said, in her most coherent critique of the night.
The other singers (pictured above; click on each photo to enlarge it) also impressed:
- Simon Cowell may have compared him to a "well-trained spaniel," but we could listen to Kris Allen sing "The Way You Look Tonight" for hours.
- In response to Allison Iraheta's rendition of "Someone to Watch Over Me," Kara DioGuardi said: "If that doesn't land you in the finals, I don't know what will."
- Matt Giraud is likely in the most trouble. He received mixed reviews for "My Funny Valentine."
- The judges loved how Danny Gokey closed his performance of "Come Rain or Come Shine." We'll let Randy Jackson explain: "You are the only one I've heard so far tonight that actually could have an album of songs like that - and win!"

From South Africa. We all love Adam Lambert here and wish we could vote for him. Adam is a superstar already. Amazing voice, super sexy, incredible charisma, stage presence. Adam has everything going for him. I agree, he is the next Elvis. Please America, VOTE, VOTE, VOTE for Adam.

I'm frustrated because I can't vote in the UK, so I hope all the fans in the States vote for him next week. Adam is by far the best artist out of the pack and I believe he has the biggest pool of fans globally. I can't wait to see what he will do in his next performance -- I have to wait for Wednesday evening, UK time! The live versions of Track of My Tears and If I Can't Have You are much better than the studio recordings, however vice versa for Feeling Good -- the recording is fantastic! His singing is so captivating!
I am another Adam Lambert fanatic that is furious with American Idol for what they did last week. Both with the on stage stunt Ryan pulled to try and humiliate Adam as well as the obvious "funny business" going on with the voting. I also ran into trouble voting but luckliy when I switched to texting my vote i had no problem. Adam will be a superstar with or without them, but if he leaves so will my viewer-ship.
