Adam Lambert 24/7 News

I find Adam Lambert so incredibly sexy. I know that’s a weird way to start a review, but it’s true. So what does one do when they spend two hours at The Original High concert wanting to rip the star’s clothes off? You hold onto your ovaries and realise what an incredible singer and, surprisingly, what an amazing dancer, he truly is!

The energy from the crowd was electric as Lambert took the stage with the toe-taping “Evil in the Night”, pausing midway to lead in an “Aussie. Aussie. Aussie. Oi. Oi. Oi” chorus for Australia Day. Featuring songs from all three albums, For Your Entertainment, Trespassing and his latest, The Original High, Lambert sung for two straight hours with minimal breaks. Where most artists would go off stage for a lengthy amount of time, Lambert kept his three costume changes brief and swift, before returning to stage pumped and ready to rock again.

Lambert spoke of The Original High tour as taking us on a journey from the dark to the light – or moreso, the club, too. There were distinct sets – the first or “the dark” featured the more moody songs as “Another Lonely Night”, “Ghost Town”, “Lucy” and a mash-up of “Runnin'”, “Chokehold” and “Sleepwalker”, which brought the house down.

The second, the midway set, or the softer side of Lambert, in a full pink suit, sang including a softer version of “Whataya Want From Me”, “After Hours” and a haunting cover of “Mad World” by Tears for Fears – which left some audience members in tears – literally, to which Lambert humbly, yet cheekily, said, “Did I make you cry? I see you wiping your tear. Did I make you wet? Yes! That’s my job!”
