Factions of the pop-music scene have grown steadily hysterical in recent months, making over-the-top dynamics an instant means, not a hard-earned end, so much so that the glitter and gossip over a TV singing competition's second-place finisher can be fast eclipsed by Lady Gaga video epics and impossibly well-timed choral numbers on Glee.
Yet Adam Lambert, American Idol runner-up, atypical fashion plate, seemed to pack as many thematic metaphors (and costume changes) as possible into a 70-minute set last night in the Lifestyle Communities Pavilion.
