After watching American Idol season 8, I noticed one guy that really shone brightly compared with the others and that's Adam Lambert. Results are in and preliminary news says he won.
If you say that's news, I tell you that it is'nt. Since the first top ten picks for the American Idol season 8 winner, Lambert has already distinguished himself from the pack. Voters already assumed that he'll win the top plum. Lambert has a clear high-pitched voice, a lot like other rock singers. Lambert's voice, however, has its distinct sensitivity. Adam knows how to tone it down and put some emotion to his voice. He can sing ballads and rock the house down if he wishes.
Unlike Chris Allen, who is a classic rocker, Lambert is a versatile one. I agree what Paula Abdul said---Lambert is iconic. He has a very unique signature as a singer and he stands on the verge of superstardom.
The very first time I saw this guy, I remembered the King, Elvis Presley. He looks like the reincarnation of the King who brought the world in its knees. Lambert's moves, his unique voice and his stage savvyness connotes a total entertainment package.
And that, in my book, is what an American Idol should be.
