After interviewing a bunch of people outside the showroom at the Winstar Casino in Thackerville, Okla., on Friday night, I began to strongly suspect that just about everyone who saw Adam Lambert at Dallas' Palladium Ballroom on Tuesday had patiently (or not so!) waited for Friday, then driven up across the Interstate 35 border to see him again. (Thackerville is normally just an hour and 15 minutes from downtown Dallas, although in Friday-night traffic it took us more like two-and-a-half.)
The Glamberts, the singer's most ardent fans, were out in full force, as seen in the picture of (from left) Trish Bollard of Rogers, Ark., Blaine Milligan of St. Louis , Dan'niel McKnight of Broken Arrow, Okla., and Lulu Thomsett of Nashville, Tenn. This was Lulu's 17th concert; she's 62 and has cards identifying herself as "GlamTrampin' Grannie." Uh-huh, if I could quit my job, I might just follow Adam Lambert around the country with ya, sweetheart!
My friend Virginia saw Mick Jagger years ago, and she says Lambert has stage charisma like none she's seen since then. She also gained considerable "cool factor" with her sons, who're 15 and 12. We got to meet Lambert backstage before the show, and he's just as nice as he seems on TV -- he's so quiet and unassuming, in fact, it's hard to believe two hours later that you're looking at the same person -- this Rock God -- onstage as the sweet guy you met backstage. He sent a callout to our critic, Mario Tarradell, for his fabulous review of Tuesday's show -- and noted that "the Houston guy really did not like me." Well, as I told him, Dallas has always been superior to Houston in every way. And now Adam Lambert is on our side, die-hard Dallasites.
The song set was the same as Tuesday, with just as much energy and passion. Yeah, there's a lot of glitter and feathers and leather up there on stage -- but you could take all that away, and you'd still have Adam Lambert's mesmerizing stage presence and voice. And that'd be enough to make middle-aged women consider becoming groupies all over again.
