Adam Lambert Milan Show - Review by Onstageweb

Alcatraz, Milan, May 4th 2016.

He didn’t miss a note. He didn’t let his audience breathe, not even for a second. Adam Lambert performed yesterday [article is dated May 5] at Alcatraz in Milan, delivering a concert that’s been spectacular for scenes an choreographies as well as for the vocal performance. The 34 years old artist offered himself to his fans audience for almost a two hours show, spreading from hits out of his first album to the more recent songs out of his last studio project, The Original high (which also names the live tour).
A sold out Alcatraz was expected for this first and only date in Italy, but the crowd of big events was missing [The venue capacity was 3K and he sold 2.3K tickets]. Not so bad, anyway, seen that Adam’s fan could set the place on fire to greet their idol at best with choirs and applauses all the concert long. Song after song, temperature grew hotter and hotter, thanks also to killer looks and provoking dance moves of the sexy songwriter and his dancers. Lambert - who we’ll see live again with Queen in Piazzola Sul Brenta (Padua) next June 25 - proved having a not at all common talent. Adam is a true phenomenon: handsome, sensual, with an incredibly powerful yet refined voice. Yesterday the american artist - known to most for his participation on the talent show American Idol - conquered the audience with a setlist full of powerful and catchy tracks. At Alcatraz the audience danced with hands up to the sky until exhaustion: from the start to the end, the artist didn’t miss a note, being so incredibly versatile and tuned to not seem human sometimes. Listening to him singing every genre: pop (For Your Entertainment), R’N’B (Underground), disco (Shady), rock (Lucy) and funky (Fever), you realize this world music rising star is gifted with extraordinary abilities. Give Adam Lambert whatever song and he’ll transform it in a sound and magic words’ masterpiece. If you want to have real fun and spend a beautiful night with music, colors and crazy rhythms, Adam Lambert is your man. The energy inside his show (‘cause his actually are explosive shows) is uncontainable. There have been hits such as Ghost Town (in a really biting version), the intimate Tears For fears’ hit Mad World (in an acoustic rendition), the sparkling Welcome To The Show, the overwhelming Runnin’: a setlist with some twenty hottest songs with refined sounds and deep meanings, mostly celebrating true love, against any kind o intolerance and violence “Music is the glue, music is passion, power, truth. Music is love! It doesn’t matter if you are male, female, straight, gay, bi, trans… The important is loving with the heart, because we all have a heart”, stated Adam Lambert on Alcatraz Milan’s stage, before hinting a bit of Madonna’s Music and starting Whataya Want From Me and Another Lonely Night. And, after introducing his band, who delighted everybody - mostly with electric guitar and drums solos - Adam Lambert waved the crowd goodbye improvising a funny italian which made him even nicer and sweeter to the little girls [and boys, note of translator] in love who were close to the stage. “Grazie Milano! Vi Amo” [Thank you Milan! I love you!] the US songwriter and actor shouted with enthusiasm, but there’s still time for another song: the legendary Another One bites The Dust - Queen’s masterpiece from 1980 - closed a very fun, electrifying and party-like show in which Adam Lambert’s voice made the real difference.
