Adam Lambert: 'Idol' getting used to being newsworthy
Stint in 'Wicked' shaped his love of hair, make-up
Quote :
Adam Lambert recalls a time when the world was blissfully unaware of his hair.
He could trim it, shape it, perm it or color it without drawing comment. Not any more, of course; when he had a buzz-cut swath on one side - "it's air-conditioning," he insists - there was instant attention.
"I didn't know that was newsworthy," Lambert said.
Let's make one thing clear: EVERYTHING about Adam Lambert is now newsworthy.
"American Idol" has had plenty of young stars - likable and moldable. It hasn't had anyone else who combines the originality, control and multi-octave voice of Lambert.

Tonight Adam Lambert, the former American Idol finalist and superstar is set to bring his Glam Nation tour to the Chesaning Showboat Music Festival, and Orianthi will be joining him.
CHESANING — Even before the top hat and fringed jacket adorned performer made his grand entrance on the Showboat Festival’s main stage Monday night, Adam Lambert already had scores of fans around the venue wrapped around his little finger.
Fans traveled to the annual Chesaning festival from as far away as Detroit for Monday night’s performances which included “American Idol” finalist Allison Iraheta, Australian singer and guitarist Orianthi and Lambert. As the night wore on, more and more fans of all ages poured into the arena in Showboat Park, and the anticipation for Lambert’s appearance only increased.

CHESANING -- Claire Greenfelder’s eyes grew as big as saucers, a toothy little smile working across her young face as she waited backstage Monday for a glimpse of her favorite “American Idol” at the Chesaning Showboat Music Festival.
But hearing that Adam Lambert was in the trailer a few feet away put the 7-1/2-year-old daughter of Joe and Lisa Greenfelder over the edge.
“If I see him, I’m going to faint,” she said, falling into a swoon. And she was hardly the only “Fan-Bert” in the crowd that night.
After a busy weekend of shows in Cleveland, Ohio and Louisville, Kentucky, Adam Lambert has moved on to the state of Michigan. The former "American Idol" contestant had a break on Sunday night but was back at work on Monday.
