Adam Lambert - the big-voiced and flamboyant runner-up in 2009’s American Idol contest - lived up to his nickname of Glambert on Saturday night as he made his only Canadian concert stop this summer at the Molson Canadian Amphitheatre.
Like a peacock showing off his feathers, Lambert strutted his considerable stuff over the course of a brisk, hour-long set backed by a four-piece band - including guitarist-musical director Monte Pittman, best known for teaching Madonna how to play - and four dancers.
The 28-year-old singer made a memorable first appearance at the top of a staircase decked out in a feathered top hat with a big red A embossed on it, a purple, black fur-lined coat with fringe sleeves, black leather pants with cod piece, and black fingerless gloves.
