Adam Lambert - 13/04 - HMH
The Heineken Music Hall fills Wednesday evening with a rather diverse audience. In line teenage girls, fathers with ons, a stray Queen fan with matching shirt and a handful of die-hard fans. These are today traveled from across Europe to Amsterdam to attend the American singer Adam Lambert kicking off the European tour. Looking at the audience get a good idea of the career Lambert has had in recent years. He went from glitter and glam rocker to fronting Queen to the singer of 'Ghost Town'.
That song and accompanying album The Original High are probably the main reason that the Amsterdam pop venue Wednesday almost full. With his new pop music influenced by deep-house he speaks a larger, broader audience than before. There tonight probably only a small number of people present that the recalls in glitter and feathers attired Lambert a few years ago and he has changed almost beyond recognition.
Remarkable is also the biggest hit that the singer has had in a long time has a rather insignificant place in the setlist. 'Ghost Town' is already the third over. A missed opportunity for the audience to go crazy. For those present at the HMH clearly need a little more time to get used to the singer from head to toe in red leather and dyed gray hair effortlessly all the attention.
The rest of the evening consists of a well thought-out combination of old and new material. The audience will hear include "Another Lonely Night ',' These Boys', 'Shady' and of course the song that the singer formerly known mainly" Whataya Want From Me "is received with great acclaim in the HMH. A number of other old songs passes in a smooth, clever medley and during a cover of Tears for Fears' Mad World Adam shows once again have a voice that few artists can match. The Heineken Music Hall listensptid breathless. By the end of the evening there is also just referred to the last time the singer in our capital stood as he took a piece of Queen's "Another One Bites The Dust 'sings during closing track' Trespassing '
The show itself is kept small. The band stays in the background, there are two dancers who occasionally singer swarm around and often only distract for the American star does not need it. With three distinctive outfit swings, his dark glance and often suggestive moves you want nowhere else to look than to the man himself.
If the singer already feels some pressure to prove himself as a solo artist after a year around the world have toured with one of the biggest rock bands in history, he does not show it. The singer can do the job and does it well. With his voice, looks and charm Amsterdam is tonight at his feet, even without Brian May and Rodger Taylor by his side.
