Quote :: Judging the guylinered gay based solely on his sexually superfluous shot at being, uh, "spontaneously artistic" during the American Music Awards wouldn't be fair. He needed none of the pseudo fellatio, because he can sing - and the "Idol" runner-up thankfully applies his rocketing range to these 14 tracks better than he does a man's face to his clothed junk. He's still making whoopee on "For Your Entertainment," the hyper-sexual good-gay-gone-bad bit, and turning up the heat on Lady Gaga's co-written contribution "Fever," wringing a falsetto-laced chorus that's so Scissor Sisters in its sound and unapologetic homoliciousness. His debut is easily the edgiest of all "Idol" firsts (and maybe it knows that just a little too well). Perhaps that's because of Lambert's versatility - retro glam-rock (like the crippled "Strut"), anthemic rock ("Time for Miracles"), musical-lit lifters (disc best "Pick U Up") and vulnerable slowies are all here for our entertainment. Too much? Yeah. Sometimes the album's like an 18-year-old running loose in a porn store. But, then again, you're talking about a guy who boasts about being born with glitter on his face. This should be the least of our worries.
