Adam Lambert performed for his adoring fans at Gridlock's New Year's Eve Bash.  He played ten songs from his debut album For Your Entertainment in front of nearly 5,000 people. 

Adam Lambert's fans are among the most loyal and passionate fans of any performer.  They refer to themselves as Glamberts or Glamily to show their loving support for this rising star.

Indeed, it seems that everything Adam Lambert touches these days turns to gold.  No one will remember him as coming in second place to Kris Allen on American Idol.  Adam Lambert is second to no one.

In spite of being the victim of a double standard that should have ceased to exist sometime in the last century, Adam Lambert maintains a fantastic attitude.  When asked by maximotv.com in an interview just prior to his Gridlock New Year's Eve Bash performance what his plans were for the New Year, Adam Lambert responded that he will "keep being positive and looking forward."  Who could ask for anything more?

Adam Lambert's dazzling, and much discussed, performance at the AMAs only served to help his record sales and boost his popularity.  He is a kind, thoughtful, and well-spoken man who obviously appreciates his fans; and he is indeed a mesmerizing  performer.  Watch him once and you will find it difficult to tear yourself away.

    Thanks, Maria Parece. You know ADAM as fans know him. It's why we love him. With all the blessings of talents and physical attributes, all the IT and X Factors he has, the greatest thing about ADAM is his graciousness and humility, genuiness and authenticity. A rare gem these days. It's why ADAM gets so much love from those who get to know the real ADAM. He shines with good breeding and makes his parents proud. And I'm proud to be a fan forever.

    Thanks for the review. I have never been so enthralled with a performer---I can't stop watching him, seeking information about him, and impatiently awaiting his tour this spring. I am a busy person with a full life, but find myself spending enormous amounts of time looking at and listening to Adam Lambert. I think I may be addicted!

    I've always absolutely lovedd this guy(: I remember even seeing him audition ! Anyway, I just never get tired of him. Ever! At the idols live concert, He really stood out in a good way<3 had the most applause. forget his AMA performance . He said in an interview, "I was just shocked like, is it really THAT big of a deal??" And it shouldn't be:D Some people were like "oh I use to be a huge fan of Adam but that alll changed after AMAs" don't be this person, please. Anyway Adam has something that just appeals to so many people and it WILL take him far(:

    Mr. Lambert is the most talented singer to come along in a long time. This is not the kind of music I usually listen to, but watching him perform live is addicting. I can't get the songs on his album out of my head and I will be the first in line to buy tickets to his live tour. Finally... music again.

    Being unable to go to any LIVE performances the only next BEST thing for me would be for ADAM to have his OWN weekly TV show like Tom Jones & Dean Martin had in the past. THAT would be a DREAM COME TRUE for me. I have followed ADAM since his audition last Jan. 2009 and am still watching the reruns on Reality TV this week. Can't get enough. Listen to ONLY his music ... no one else will do. LOVE THAT GUY!!

    Adam is the most amazing and talented artist to hit the music scene that I have witnessed in my 50 something years. I was at Gridlock and it was fantastic. Adam never ceases to amaze. He blew the audiance away. We all wanted more, more, more. Look for him to do great things in the years to come.

    Thank you for the beautiful article. Adam Lambert brought in the 21st century at Gridlock 2010. I was lucky enough to catch him in a private moment while he so graciously signed my FYE CD book. This man is even more beautiful in person, and his energy, even in a quiet moment, is as startlying cosmic as it is on stage. That quiet moment with him defined time as never ending and universal. Thank you, Adam Lambert, if you read this.

    Love, love ,love Adam, he is just the whole package, I met him in Tampa, stood right beside him for a picture, spoke with him ever so briefly, but he was giving and gracious with all of us adoring fans, took the time to speak with, hug and shake hands with as many of us as he could even though the handlers did not really want him to and were rushing us through. I told him how much I love his cd, and he said "Thank you so much", when I should have been the one thanking him for all of the enjoyment he has provided since the singing of "Bohemian Rhapsody" on Idol, so Adam...thank you, I wish you all the best in this year of 2010, and to answer your question of "Whataya want from me?...just keep on being you, and surprising us with your seemingly unlimited supply of talent.

    Adam Lambert's dazzling, and much discussed, performance at the AMAs was banned and disgusting vulgar to boot. Are you Sparkle cows diluted or what. Adams performance was banned based on his idiocy to shove his homosexuality down Americas TV and they canceled madams @@@. Wake up, For your Entertainment was a failure based on the AMA performance.

    @votefortheworst It does not matter what name you use you are mentally ill and need help. Anyone with that much hate inside needs medication. No one gives a damn what you think about Adam, so stop waisting your time. Find yourself a whole somewhere and crawl into it. Do the world a favor and stop spreading hate. There is not a damn thing you can do about the fact that Adam is more popular and talented than Kris so get over it. Are you his mother or brother?

    Ha ha, vote for the worst..you are laughable. I shouldn't be giving you the attention you so desire here, but I can't resist. The reporter's cameras went crazy for Adam at Gridlock when he walked the red carpet. He is a star.
    He proved time and again on network t.v that he can give a professional performance and he received favorable comments by Conan, Jay and Ellen.
    Brian May and Roger Taylor of Queen expressed interest as recently as November at still having Adam as their frontman, and Brian said Adam's Time For Miracles" was amazing.
    Doesn't sound to me like Adam is hurting too badly!!
    Thanks for the chuckle votefortheworst. Don't forget to get your tickets for Adam's tour..it's going to be HOT!!

The videos are sizzling so I can only imagine what the live show was like. Awesome vocals and an electrifying stage show. Adam Lambert knows how to deliver LIVE. All that and a nice guy to boot. What's not to love? Rock on, Adam!

    What a great article. I have been a fan of Mr. Lamberts since American Idol. He is an intelligent, articulate man who has a very kind heart. He was obviously raised very well. His voice gives me chills, he is just so talented vocally that I truly believe he can sing anything. I bought his CD and love every song on it. It is time to move on and forget about the AMAs. It is obvious that whatever host he is interviewed by, whether it be Jay Leno, Ellen, he is respected and well liked. I will go see him on tour and I will continue to support him now and forever. I discovered a song Adam sang in the musical Brigadoon on U tube that just blew me away. Obviously it has been around a while but somehow I have only seen it now. You should go have a listen.
