The superstar singer, Adam Lambert took to his Twitter account to voice his opinion about the remaining American Idol contestants. As fans would agree, the current season of the show has featured some of the most talented contestants, and choosing two finalists will no doubt prove a difficult task for voters in America. Out of all the contestants on the show as of right now, Adam Lambert believes that Haley Reinhart would make the most unique album of all the others.
Lambert wrote of Reinhart via Twitter: "Bottom line- in my opinion, Haley would make the edgiest, most original album out of the three. #Realness"
Counting Down the Top 25 Best Idol Performances Ever,
Numbers 20 Through 16

19. “Ring of Fire” – Adam Lambert, Season 8, Grand Ole Opry Week
How best to follow the drama of Siobhan, with the even more so dramatic Adam Lambert.
This performance was perhaps one of the most polarizing performances in Idol history.
Half the nation was appalled by the darkening of a Johnny Cash classic, but others were awestruck at the level of creative interpretation and rearrangement Adam had on this song.
Whatever side of the equation you were on, no one can deny this was a performance that goes down in the history books for pure shock value, and that is why it deserves to be in the top 25 performances ever

'The Judges Owe Haley An Apology'

James Durbin ("Don't Stop Believin'," Journey): With James, as far as song choice is concerned, it was hard for me to hear it because we had to sing “Don’t Stop Believin’” on the season 8 tour so many times – it was a group number. And to hear Adam Lambert sing that same song night after night… well, it’s hard not to compare the two. What I want to see out of James is something truly different -- what makes James, James? Because we have an Adam and he’s amazing. I’m a fan, don’t get me wrong, but we’ve seen this already.
"American Idol’s" Final Four is Full of Future Stars
& More Adam Lambert Comparisons

I hate admitting that I’ve been watching “Idol” this long, but it’s been since season four…it makes me sick. That said, I can’t think of a season with as many stars that this season is going to create. Scotty and Lauren are sure stars in the country world. The more talented two James and Haley should be stars once the season is over. Unfortunately for them, their genres are a little less main stream, but I think they will shine in their given genres.
Just a list of six names. Festival opens Latvian group Brainstorm, which is popular both in Europe and in Russia. Following is a British band Travis. Heavy artillery submit Korn. But for the chic and shine meets fruity Adam Lambert. Ask why so few singers? Quite simply, each speech lasting more than an hour.
Anoop Desai: 'X Factor' Will Be Bigger Than 'American Idol'
Anoop mentions Adam
Quote :
THR: It’s ironic, but in a way, isn’t it harder to try and launch a career after Idol?
Desai: I remember when we got off the tour, everyone saying, “Don't worry, we just went through this process, we’re good, you'll be fine..." That's about the dumbest thing that we could've said at the time because you begin to believe that and internalize it, and the truth of the matter is, you have to work harder than everyone else. Because whether the viewing public knows it or not, in the industry, there is a stigma associated with American Idol. There's no other way to say it. You hear these people sing for a maximum of a minute and a half every show. As a contestant, you have to say, “All right, I was on the show, awesome, what a great perk, now let me work.” Once you step on that Idol stage, you have the potential to play with the big boys, to do what Adam Lambert has done, it's just harder to get there.
