“American Idol” Peaked When Adam Lambert Sang “Mad World”

Remembering one of the show’s very best performances.

Don’t cry because it’s over, American Idol fans. Smile because Adam Lambert’s “Mad World” cover happened.
A performance so iconic, it outshines the rest of the show’s best moments.

“American Idol” Peaked When Adam Lambert Sang “Mad World”

Don’t cry because it’s over, American Idol fans. Smile because Adam Lambert’s “Mad World” cover happened.
A performance so iconic, it outshines the rest of the show’s best moments.

Not because of the vocals, which were on point, or the judges’ standing ovation, which was well deserved.
No, “Mad World” should be remembered as American Idol’s best performance because Adam Lambert managed to transcend the show’s vocal-recital trappings to serve pop-superstar realness. [thumbs.gif] [clap.gif]

It was the kind of performance viewers could imagine a bigger, more-established star doing without changing a single element.

The studio version of the song made its way to the top 20 of the Billboard Hot 100, proving that Adam was the real deal, not just another talented singer with ~potential~

Remembering the Show's 35 Best Performances
1. Adam Lambert – “Ring of Fire” (Season 8)

This was probably the most polarizing performance on Idol, and definitely the most exciting. Love him or hate him, Adam knew how to get people’s attention, sometimes get people downright angry, and make those who were faint of heart and/or feeble of mind squirm in their support hose — all very good things in the world of rock and pop. On this fateful night, Adam took a strong stance, making it clear that he planned to stay true to himself, even if that meant freaking out Randy Travis with his Goth manicure, or refusing to “go country” on Opry Night (though I think black-clad country maverick Johnny Cash would have appreciated this remake). Many Glambert performances — “Mad World,” “Tracks of My Tears,” “Whole Lotta Love” — could’ve made this list, but “Ring of Fire” is the one that really put Adam on the glittery map.

Huffpost Entertainment

'American Idol' Ending After Season 15 (UPDATE)
The final episodes will pay tribute to past contestants, winners and fans throughout the season, serving as a "celebratory event

13 Best 'American Idol' Performances Ever

#1 "Mad World" Adam Lambert (Season 8)
Lambert's operatic vocals made him a season-long frontrunner, but the performance that made him the one to beat (which he eventually was) is this measured, moving and smoke machine-heavy rendition of Gary Jules' cover of the Tears for Fears tune.

I am watching The Voice and since I haven't watched very often, I have a question. Did they always do home visits just like Idol? Also, I don't recall the audience swaying next to the stage just like Idol. It's no wonder Idol is getting cancelled when another show is doing the same thing but with a few more twists like the blind auditions, battle rounds, and mentoring done by the judges. Too bad that once these contestants are off the show, they are pretty much left out in the cold. I guess that keeps their costs low. [0030.gif]

I don't recall The Voice doing home town visits before. It's strange to me. But I do like this show better. I like the judges better overall. It's impossible to get tickets to it, which tells you something about how popular it is here. AI is very easy to get into.

Something I fear about Idol going off air, we will lose one of our main connections and resources for Adam news. All the blogs and other people who are involved will have to focus their attention on other things. Adam needs to stay connected to other hollywood newsworthy activities to make sure he doesn't get lost in the shuffle. A few guest appearances in various TV shows would be great for publicity. Not just the usual talk show promo rounds but actual acting/singing roles would be much more impressive.

From....ET....‘American Idol’: Thanks for the Memories!
by Chris Azzopardi



A Rock God Is Born

Glamberts: Imagine your lives without Adam Lambert. You can’t even, RIGHT? For his dear devotees, it was love at first sight, as Season 8 of Idol introduced his glorious range (omg “Mad World”!) and sexy stage presence to the world. Each time Lambert stormed the Idol stage, he pushed limits -- vocally and otherwise -- demonstrating that you don’t have to take top prize to get to the top.

The Season 8 finale would have been a good one to end on. That's when Adam Lambert, the peacocking glam-rock phenom, was up against Kris Allen, a milquetoast folkie.

Well this season sure didn't end the way it started. There was so much potential for a season finale of unique and instead we get two talented guys who aren't that unique. Oh well..it was still one of the most entertaining and talent filled seasons in a very long time.

Hoping for a Nick win. But mostly hoping for a fun and entertaining results show tonight. Can't wait to see who all the special guests will be and what duets will happen.

So disappointed in idol (again) for the way they revealed the final 2. Why have her all dressed up and ready to perform, only to say..."sorry you spent the week rehearsing for nothing..you're out!" then she has to sit with her parents in the audience. That's just cruel. I was team Jax and don't care who wins now..wgwg or wgwp. Hope she gets signed.

I agree with madam and LizzieK - I think my reason for watching just left last night. Not sure why they did it the way they did and can't believe that Ryan was just like - bye Jax - there's your parents.

Still have fingers crossed for an Adam sighting tonight.
