'Idol' finale's best: Adam Lambert lets Angie Miller shine on 'Titanium' by Norman Byrd
Excerpts:
"Why is Adam Lambert one of the most adored "American Idol" finalists ever? Oh, he's good looking and talented and all that -- but there's always seemed to be something extra about the Season 8 runner-up that resonates with people. It just might be his innate ability to know where the limit is. Take, for instance, his performance with Season 12 third-place finalist Angie Miller on Thursday night's finale, a performance Yahoo Music's Lyndsey Parker labeled "the finest performance" of the finale in her May 17 column. Adding support and harmony on the David Gueta (featuring Sia) hit "Titanium," Adam's duet with this season's pop princess was a masterpiece in vocal control and allowing the focus to remain on rising star, making it the best performance of the evening.".....
"Because, in the end, that is exactly what Adam was there for -- to lend his star power and provide harmony on the "American Idol" finale for Angie, who, until she was eliminated in third place, was believed to be a ringer for the season winner."
"And that just might be Adam Lambert's secret as to why so many find him the best talent "American Idol" has ever produced. Being confident in who you are says a lot about a person. And in an industry dominated by divas, alphas, and prima donna personalities, it is refreshing to see someone who doesn't have to steal the spotlight to keep the up-and-comers in their places."
Amen and Standing O for Norman Byrd's review (above..) and his astute assessment of Adam and Angie's duet..AND his spot-on description of Adam Lambert: something I agree with 100%....
Thank you JAK and Glitzlady. WOW... what a review! Straight to our hearts!
SOOO glad Adam is being recognized for the star he is, in this great write-up and all the glowing press he's receiving. He deserves all of it. Let's hope it opens even more doors for him.
That was a perfect review of Adam and Angie's duet!Norman Byrd really got it! I have watched the duet so many times I can't count,it gives me chills every time. I thought Stay when Adam covered it was like that but this duet has surpassed that. I think because of the way Adam interacts with Angie,his focus,his flow and harmonies,just a masterpiece for sure. 222,000 + views on you tube now. Keep giving it hits.

Wow! What an amazing article! Thanks JAK and glitz. It seems like Adam is getting as much positive feedback from that performance as Angie is. What a novelty for a performer to get praise for his restraint? Adam is getting so many kudos for this performance. Hope lots of new fans sit up and take notice.

@tuke183: @michaelorland @angieai12 @adamlambert Looks like fun!!!
@michaelorland: @tuke18 @angieai12 @adamlambert we had the greatest time. LOTS of laughs and even more great music went on.
@foxvegas: @michaelorland @angieai12 @adamlambert this arrangement~hit of the night! 2 people SINGING, no smoke 'n mirrors, just perfectly beautiful
@michaelorland: @foxvegas @angieai12 @adamlambert And nobody else could have carried it off like them. Just simple orchestration and two perfect voices.
@michaelorland: @adamisamazing Had the greatest time - felt like we never stopped making music over the years. Made me happy to hear that voice again.
@MichaelOrland: @audsidol Awww thanks - it was a total collaboration between Adam & Angie and me. And we had the best time working it out.
Thanks for that article I had not seen it. Wow, that gave me chills to read. Sometimes I think it is only Adam's die hard fans that can see him the way that was described in the article. How validating that others in the media/critics actually see what a genuine Super Star inside and out that he really is. That article made my day!
@11:23 PM, You can say that again! Not only that but vulgar too. Hope she doesn't come here and contaminate this site as she did AO. Trolls are one thing, but a self absorbed vulgar narcissistic psychic is another.
Would love to see Adam get major attention with the AI performance. Good luck to Angie too but it's all about Adam getting recognition in the US far as I can see.
Why are people surprised? He has always been a perfect gentleman, bowing to triumph of others, offering his immense talent behind the scenes to make others look their best and standing quietly while other's take the praise. That, and he, are truly lovely but just once ..... just once I would like to see some revered, top star go toe to toe with his voice, power and ability. Nobody ever has and may never. They are Sceeeeeered!! and they should be. He could blow ANYBODY off the stage (should he choose to do so) and they know it!! To be shown up by this young, sexy, controversial, raging talent would be a serious blow to their fragile careers ...... so note: even though he has expressed openness to it numerous times, it has never happened and I would be shocked if it ever does......
I so agree with your comments @coloforadam 9:46AM. Adam's duet with Angie was the best performance of the finale on Idol. I would love to see him perform a duet with Pink, ChristinaA or KellyC. All are powerful singers and I am sure he would shine in any collabo with one of them. He outperformed the pre-recorded, lip synching Mariah and the hyped dance number from JLO. And without an introduction, once Adam sang those first notes of Titanium, the audience went wild with applause. Hopefully something positive will come from this duet with Angie and Adam's career will soar with the release of his third album.
I agree. I know you have been posting on and off here for a long time (because I have as well, lol ;)) and I'm glad you came out of lurking to make your post! I agree. I wish I didn't agree, 'ya know, but, heavy sigh, I do. However, having said all of that, as I mentioned in a post on the "Taylor Hicks" thread, I never say never!! :).
JAK here.....there have been so many excellent reviews for the Titanium performance, but this one is my favorite by far.
ReplyDeleteGoogle...adam lambert lets angie miller shine on titanium
First sentence is "Why is Adam Lambert one of the most adored "American Idol" finalists ever?.......then it gets better.

ReplyDeleteLove It!! Thanks for all the wonderful positive media postings!!
ReplyDeleteDid she finally get permanently banned form AO?
ReplyDeleteThat duet is proof that "less is more." And that "less" is very appreciated because it's not easy.
