'American Idol': Adam Lambert ready for Dallas show

Matt Carter

Quote :: Usually in Dallas, September marks the end of a long drought that takes us through most of the summer. Unfortunately for Adam Lambert, this just so happened to be the time he chose to come through this writer's hometown.

The "American Idol" singer is in Big D Tuesday night for a Glam Nation tour, and he just announced on his Twitter that he woke up to "rain" over the city. On Monday night, he was looking for a place to have a good time in the city. (It's a little late now, but you can always go to Snuffer's for a burger or hit up the Original Pancake House for a good breakfast before the show.

Adam Lambert: Filling seats and climbing charts

Jane Lasky

Quote :: Last night, Adam Lambert rocked Dallas, filling seats in a bad economy and climbing charts higher than any other American Idol alum.

Headlining a hectic schedule with his Glam Nation tour, the singing sensation goes international after touring the States. The artist is so popular in Australia that new venues have had to be booked due to an overabundance of fans who want to watch Adam in action.

According to The Hot Hits, arena upgrades were necessary in both Sydney and Melbourne, while a New Zealand performance has been added to Lambert's already packed datebook.

Meanwhile, according to Mediabase, Adam's soulful If I Had You took the top of the most-played song list for any American Idol on USA Today's top 40 and Hot AC charts.

So, while other artists are pulling out of certain cities because they can't find an audience, the big talent we know as Adam Lambert is touring the world filling seats while his music is climbing the charts, higher and higher and higher and higher. Go boy, go!

Concert review: Adam Lambert at Palladium Ballroom

Mario Tarradell

Quote :: It's about 9:20 Tuesday night at Palladium Ballroom. Adam Lambert, the star of the show, still hasn't taken the stage. The crew has finished changing the platform after opening act Allison Iraheta's set.

In a blink Lambert's face adorns the backdrop screen, a video image projected from the other end of the club. The crowd rushes forward, cell phones extended, to snap pictures of a picture.

The mere sight of Adam Lambert incites instant fan-demonium. His disciples are hardcore and multi-generational. The Palladium audience seemingly covered grade school to grandma, with most ranging from 20s to 40s. Many were dressed to honor the American Idol runner-up - a top hat here, a feathered boa there and a velvet trenchcoat over yonder.

And the eye make-up. Oh, the eye make-up. You couldn't miss Bronwyn Walls and Camille Dollins, both 17-year-old seniors at Ursuline Academy. They arrived at 4 p.m. sporting self-sticking bling around their lashes, glitter and winged eye make-up. They both wore smolder eyeliner from MAC Cosmetics, the same brand Lambert uses.
