He came in second to the very likable Kris Allen. However, Adam remains the blazing star of the show, even in Kris\u2019 estimation. <\/p>\n<p>See? That\u2019s how nice Kris is. <\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.time.com\/time\/magazine\/article\/0,9171,1896746,00.html\">Time Magazine<\/a> recently published an article about how Idol has produced many singers who can sing perfectly pleasant songs, but Adam is idol\u2019s very first star. In fact, they called him the Un-Idol.<\/p>\n<p>Adam has a kind of Cher-like quality about him, not just because he blew \u201cBelieve\u201d out of the water during Hollywood week. The guy is just full throttle and there\u2019s this sense of fulfilled theatrical promise about him. He was strategically polished for an Idol contestant, which made him an almost unfair competitor in this decidedly amateur show. His versatility was engaging. He could do soul, alt-country, torch and then&#0160;fire his pipes like an 80s glam rocker, a reincarnated Freddie Mercury. <\/p>\n<p>But I think in some sense he was my fantasy of what fully-fulfilled Cher singer could be \u2013 had she embraced a 100% torch theatricality that the splendid&#0160;<em>Sonny &amp; Cher Comedy Hour<\/em> solos only hinted at. <\/p>\n<p>This <a href=\"http:\/\/www.associatedcontent.com\/article\/1762504\/adam_lambert_will_win_american_idol.html?cat=33\">article<\/a>&#0160;by Mary Zeiher catalogs his key performances on the show (including a slam on Cher\u2019s performance of &quot;Believe&quot;).<\/p>\n<blockquote dir=\"ltr\">\n<p><em>\u201cAdam Lambert American Idol performance #2: <\/em><em>Remember in Hollywood Week when he sang Cher&#39;s &quot;Believe&quot;? When I heard what he was going to sing, I immediately thought &quot;Oh, we are done with Adam Lambert. No one can do that song well. Cher doesn&#39;t even do that song well.&quot; But again he out-shone the competition.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">I actually disagree with her assessment and think although I don&#39;t love the song, Cher does as well as anyone with it.<\/p>\n<p>On a related note, <a href=\"http:\/\/www.eonline.com\/uberblog\/marc_malkin\/b123674_bette_midler_talks_lambert_boyle_cher.html\">Bette Midler had something nice to say about (gasp!) Cher<\/a> and then something a bit odd to say about Adam Lambert:<\/p>\n<blockquote dir=\"ltr\">\n<p><em>If he doesn&#39;t win American Idol, Midler doesn&#39;t think it means homophobia has reared its ugly, discriminatory head. &quot;Don&#39;t take it as a slap in the face if you&#39;re a gay person,&quot; she said. &quot;I pray that people don&#39;t get pissed off.&quot;<\/em><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>(Well, Adam did really well in this year&#39;s Idol competition so I don\u2019t see evidence of widespread homophobia in American voters, who are every day skewing more tolerant in national polls on gay issues. I guess Family First-types could be behind all the Kris votes&#8230; but man, what a pathetic waste of time that would be, dudes.)<\/p>\n<p>On Cher &#8212; <\/p>\n<blockquote dir=\"ltr\">\n<p><em>&quot;I saw her show, and it was unbelievable,&quot; Midler gushes. &quot;It was absolutely terrific. I had a great time. She looked great, sounded great and gave it her all.
