Not only has Adam Lambert’s vocal skills been recognized lately, but also his overall concert performance has received praise. Adam’s Glam Nation tour has just earned two more honors – one in Dallas and one in New York.
First, Adam’s September Glam Nation performance at the Palladium Ballroom in Dallas has earned him the #10 spot in the “Top 10 Shows of 2010” by Dallas Morning Post -Year in Review: Music. According to writer Mario Tarradell:
“Lambert commanded the stage with his marvelous vocals and an intoxicating blend of glam-rock and pop-dance.”
Secondly, Adam’s Glam Nation concert ranked #1 for the “Top 10 Capital Region Concerts of 2010” by timesunion.com. This countdown is determined by the number of comments a popular concert review generates from readers. After Adam performed at the Palace Theater in Albany, New York last August, a review written by Steve Barnes generated 165 reader comments. This shows that Adam’s fans are not only passionate about reading reviews of his concerts, but also commenting on them. Billy Joel and Elton John ranked #2, with their concert review only generating 79 comments.
As previously reported, the Glam Nation tour performance was also just acknowledged by All Headline News. Adam took the #7 spot in their “Top 10 Live Acts of 2010.”
Another award for Adam’s theatrical Glam Nation concert performance could be coming up in the future. Adam has been nominated for Australian POPrepublic.tv’s “IT LIST Award” for “Concert Tour of 2010.” Fans can vote for him for this honor at POPrepublic.tv.
Unlike other past American Idol contestants, who merely stand on the stage and sing, Adam goes “all out” with his performances. For his Glam Nation tour, Adam included a slideshow, lasers, costumer changes and dancers to make his concert into not just a vocal performance, but a complete theatrical experience.
Did you have the opportunity to see many artists perform live in 2010? Was Adam one of your favorites?

Adam's concert was awesome! The crowd was terrific AND very respectful of each other. Every one was on their feet from beginning to end. He truly is an amazing talent.
We went to 8 Glamnation concerts and Albany Palace Theater was one of the most beautiful venues! The sound was great and the concert was awesome! So happy that Adam and his tour is getting all this recognition. Cant wait until Adam's next cd and next tour!
I had the privilege of seeing Adam's concert in both Toronto and Montreal, when he ventured north of the border. Both were incredible, however, the energy in the Montreal (Saint Jean sur Richelieu) Balloon Festival was magical! Compensating for technical problems with the projections and screen at the outdoor venue, Adam chose to instead really rock out with his vocals, giving an amazing performance (that included a rocking 20th Century Boy). the 70,000 + loved it! Comparing Adam to other performances I have seen this year (20+) he definitely deserves the #1 distinction!
I GUESS TALENT DOES MATTER AFTER ALL...ARTIST OF THE YEAR...ANY YEAR...ADAM LAMBERT.
Finally, Adam is getting the recognition he deserves. Most talented sexiest man on the planet.
Next win, the Grammys!
Whoa! So glad Adam is getting the recognition he so justly deserves! He is extremely creative and he had a hand in all parts of the Glam Nation Tour from lighting, lasers, slide show selections, designing costumes, sound, and it was he who came up with the idea of the 3 sections to the concert: seduction, vulnerability and honesty and lastly celebration and joy. These 3 sections are distinguished from each other by the songs Adam chose to sing for each of them (acoustic for the vulnerable section) rocking out for the celebration and joy1 His vocals are simply amazing and he oozes personality and charisma. I can't say enough about Adam Lambert after seeing him perform live 7 times! Love that man!
I did have the opportunity to see Adam twice!!!!!! Phenomenal performaces!!!! The absolute best!!!!! He deserves any and all praises he receives. I am so glad I was lucky enough to see him perform live and in person, and I am hoping and praying he will be on tour again sometime in 2011! I will be there with my glam on!!!!!!!!

I was so lucky. I got to see Adam in concert twice! I would have followed him around the world if I could. I have never been so captivated by a performer in my life...not in the 60's, not in the 70's, not in the 80's, not in the 90's...well you get the picture. I have been an avid music lover (all genres) all my life and Adam is the best ever. He sings (love his pipes), he dances (oh does he ever dance...whew, too hot); he is the total entertainer. There just are not enough accolades for what he has achieved. My wish is that his star continues to shine and his success will be beyond words. Can't wait for what he has in store for his fans next. Happy holidays Glamberts everywhere. Peace and Love! NOH8.
Adam is the best there is. I saw him in Tampa in Sept and the concert was everything I expected and more. Words just cannot express just how talented of an entertainer he is. That man could sing the phone book and make it sound awesome. He is my obsession.
I was one of the commenters on the Albany review. Phew, glad that is over.
Have to admit I didn't go to see any other artists EXCEPT the magical, charismatic, super talented Adam Lambert 50 times! Adam is the best artist to emerge in a long long time and will become the superstar he is destined to be and is accruing the honors he so rightly deserves. I feel so fortunate to have been so close to him many times at the beginning of his pop star career. I look forward to his next album, next tour, and, hopefully, some live theater and movie work. Can't seem to get enough of this brilliant young man.
Yeah , Adam Lambert is the best male pop singer artist!!!!
so happy and excited to see Adam getting the recognition and honors he so rightly deserves! Adam is the most brilliant artist to come along in decades. Not only are his vocals superior, but he has the talent and creativity to create a stunning visual show , now that is all around talent!!
Adam, Adam, Adam, you're too much, umm umm.
Not only was Adam Lambert my favorite concert in 2010, but the BEST. He really did put on a show. Unbelievable. Definitely worth my money.
SAW ADAMS SHOW TWICE & IT WAS UN-FREAKIN-BELIEVABLE !
Isn't it amazing how someone who put down Adam all summer is trying to gain her own popularity off of him?
Adam is simply the best entertainer, vocally is is also terrific, blown away by him every time he deserves every honor coming to him.
Saw Adam twice live....each one was amazing...first one my daughter and I were four rows from stage in mosh pit...He was like 8 to 10 feet from us...and OMG...he is even better looking in person. The vocal ability of this man is amazing and the whole concert is a non-stop show full of fantastic singing, dancing....The audience was an amazing variety of people of all types and ages...It was just a great party...will never forget it...best concert I have ever been too...We met him at second concert after it...he is beautiful and very sweet...Have watched most of his concerts via Youtube....just blows me away how he can top himself...just when you think he can not sing any better ...he does...My daughter and I were in what we have termed, "a Adam fog" for at least a week after seeing him live...Can not even describe how good it was.
