In Review: Adam Lambert at Fantasy Springs

Adam Lambert had a lot to live up to before his first solo show where fans could purchase tickets.

Before the show at Fantasy Springs Resort Casino in Indio on Saturday night, some compared it to seeing Elvis Presley for the first time, that it was historic. Internet friends met for the first time in person, gathering for a pre-party dubbed the "Glamily Reunion" or over pizza or Starbucks.

With a devoted and rabid fan base, Lambert needed to impress.

Even though he didn't go on until after 9 p.m. and played for about an hour, the eyeliner king of "American Idol" led his faithful to renditions of his songs off the debut CD, "For Your Entertainment" as well as select covers, such as Tears for Fears' "Mad World" and an acoustic version of Led Zeppelin's "Whole Lotta Love."

His voice was at its best when he sang the ballads, reaching a chill-inducing moment during the second half of "Soaked." But the show was at its finest with dance party numbers such as "Down the Rabbit Hole" and "Music Again" as the glitter and sequin-covered crowd that ranged from young fans to those in their 80s.
