Adam Lambert's Performance

I am a big fan of Adam Lambert and I was upset when he did not win American Idol but at the same time glad that he does not have to follow the Idol contract. His vocal abilities were undeniably exceptional during every performance on the show. Therefore, I was extremely looking forward to his album and the rest of his music career. Someone with this amount of talent must not follow other artists and Adam would definitely create something exotic and special right?

However his performance at the AMA's was a big disappointment. As a big fan, I really could not finish watching his performance without wincing or looking away. Some of his moves were really inappropriate. However, what disappointed me the most was the fact that where did his true talent go? You don't need a ton of costume and moves to prove you're creative and different. Many critics claimed that he put on this big show to cover up his lack of talent but I disagree. He does not need any of this! I was also disappointed that he was not being original. To truly be successful, you need to be original and have your own distinct style so your fans can recognize you and distinguish you from other artists.
