He was so much less interesting in his performance last night than he ever was on Idol. Too choreographed, too overproduced; he looked like he was swallowed up by the choreography and the spectacle, while if they'd just allowed him to strut around the stage on his own, he'd have come off a lot better (and could have focused more on the singing). Whoever thought that thing up should be fired.
@onebadclam: See, straight men have women to keep them in check. But what's holding the gays back from ridiculous tackiness? I'm afraid the answer is a terrifying: "nothing".
It's as if Jonathon Larson lived to write The New Mel Brooks Musical Young Frankenstein, and got Shirley Bassey to play Froederick after an all-night helium bender.
I can take massive overhype, as long as the product can actually deliver. His singing sucked. Does he have anything else to offer?
Next year, he and Madonna will perform a duet of "Respect Yourself," while Lady Gaga fucks him in the ass and he pees in the mouths of Clay Gayken and Kelly Pickler. I sooooo can't wait.
@If_I_Had_a_Poodle: Yes, with his horrendous buzzsaw voice and sour off-key notes, he's going for the big shock of "why in the world was this person on a singing competition?"
@heywhat: Yeah, my problem with his performance was that he sang off key the whole time. Granted, it's hard to sing in tune while simulating sex and various bondage scenarios (or, um, so I would imagine...), but Lady Gaga at least managed to incorporate some good vocals--as well as flaming gays AND pianos--into her performance. Lambert just looked like he was trying too hard.
Still, I give him an A for effort, if not execution.

Finally someone manages to explain why American Apparel's hideous 80's revival has managed to gain traction.

As with most things, Bowie did it better.

Honestly though? This guy has Vegas act written all over him (not necessarily a bad thing).
