//Live Performance Goodness: Pre-American Idol Adam Lambert Performs Gnarls Barkley’s ‘Crazy’//

Admittedly, I’ve had a very love/hate relationship with one of American Idol’s newest top 12 contestants, Adam Lambert. When Simon didn’t like him, I loved him. I thought his voice was so unique. But when the judges started hyping him up like he was the best thing since Home Improvement re-runs on Nick at Nite (and they are totally the best thing ever! Jonathan Taylor Thomas is one sexy beast!), I started to run the other way.
Last week his performance of the Rolling Stone’s “Satisfaction” was clear proof of his ability to split a crowd. You’d either love or hate his over-dramatic, at times, shrieky vocals. Most of America loved it, so we’ll be seeing more from him.
My “Ugh” factor got higher but I was desperate to rekindle my love for Adam. I stumbled upon the above video of a pre-Idol Adam performing Gnarls Barkley’s “Crazy” at the 2008 Art 4 Life Benefit at Blog For Your Life and, let’s just say, I’m in love with Adam like T-Pain is in love with strippers.
His vocal range is insane, as he’s proven on Idol, but his ability to work a crowd and perform any song and make it his own is nothing short of spectacular. And HELLO!!! Do you see the dance moves? So. In. Love!
