credit his parents for shaping the values that guide him. Leila and Eber Lambert gave their son a precious gift - an emotional underpinning of acceptance and love that gives him the personal resiliency he draws on to deal with the knocks that come with fame.
“My mother is ... I guess you’d call her a social butterfly,” he says. He learned from her how to deal with people and situations gracefully and with humor. His father, Lambert says, is charismatic and clever, and can walk into a room and command attention. But more importantly, the father was always 100 percent supportive of his son, not a small thing for a boy who realized he was “different” when he was 12 years old.
It just feels so right that singer Adam Lambert will perform in Honolulu the week before Halloween.
A true ‘glam’ artist, a man who lives for the theatrical, while some artists force themselves to play the part, glam is a natural fit for Adam Lambert who stole America’s collective heart during American Idol’s Eight Season.
Who would have anticipated that Adam Lambert fans also like Journey?
No joke! When Sunway, mono-monickered lead vocalist of her namesake trio, announced last night that they were going to close with a Journey song the crowd went wild.
It wasn’t the mocking applause opening acts often get when they announce that they are finally going to get off the stage and make way for the headliner act that everyone paid their money to see. Not this time. In a short set consisting entirely of other artists’ hits, Sunway and her partners —guitarist Dave Toma and bassist Harry Ladera — had won the crowd over. When Toma launched into the unmistakable opening riffs of “Don’t Stop Believing,” Lambert’s fans were into it. When Sunway sang, they sang along with her. When she pointed the microphone their way the Blaisdell Concert Hall went choral. And when she indicated she wanted them to clap along, clap they did.
