The Season Doesn’t Start For Another Few Days, But I Already Have My Favorite “American Idol” Contestant


Meet Adam Lambert, a Los Angeles-based singer who the judges’ panel apparently liked enough to make him go through to the top 50. (Recall that this year, the 36 top candidates will make it to the big stage in Hollywood, as opposed to the 24-member semifinalist casts of previous years.) Lambert’s Jake Shears-meets-Frank N. Furtery version of Gnarls Barkley’s “Crazy” is above, and while I am kinda bowled over by its over-the-top, er craziness, I should note that I was one of those people who thought “Take Your Mama” was going to be a massive crossover hit a few years back. Apply your grains of salt accordingly, but do note that he at least isn’t trying to win peoples’ hearts by doing dopey Britney impressions. [YouTube / VFTW; MJ's Big Blog]

    What *should* have been a huge crossover hit was the “Take Your Mama/Freedom ‘90/For No One” mashup. Brilliant stuff, that.

    @bbernardini: Off-topic. Do you remember Will To Power’s “Baby I Love Your Way/Freebird”? So good.

    @Lucas Jensen: I hope you’re kidding — that’s the worst “hit” song in all of recorded music. It’s not even “so bad it’s good,” it’s just bad.
