转-adam lambert终被加冕 By Katie Sheridan After9 seasons it is obvious to many that Fox’s American Idol is in itsdeath throes. Love-him-or-hate-him judge Simon Cowell is leaving afterthis season. The heart of the show, Paula Abdul, is gone. EllenDeGeneres, as a judge, is useless. And Kara and Randy look bored totears. Even the band leader, Rickey Minor, has announced his imminentdeparture for a better gig, having heard the death knell. Season 9 hasproven to be an abysmal snooze fest and has begun to be overtaken byABC’s Dancing With the Stars in the ratings war. Something has suckedthe life out of this once thriving reality show and that something isthe absence of the artistry, voice, charisma and WOW of Adam Lambert. Adamstrutted and swaggered onto the Season 8 Idol stage and brought withhim a presence, power, and professionalism unmatched by any before him,week after week raising the bar to ever more dizzying heights. Fans andjudges alike couldn’t wait to see what this fiercely dynamic up andcomer would bring to the Idol stage with each new performance, a stagethat had never before seen the likes of him. He captured the attentionof America, and even amongst brutal attacks for his sexual orientationit was understood in many circles that he was easily the favorite towin the title. With the arrival of the season finale, host RyanSeacrest’s shocking announcement that Adam was the Season 8 runner-upcreated an uproar among his millions of admiring fans, including bignames throughout the music industry, many stunned into shockeddisbelief, knowing in their gut that Adam had earned the win and wouldhave been awarded the crown had he not been openly gay. The resultingsense of outrage, combined with suspicions of serious votingirregularities, left many fans of the show feeling betrayed and abused,vowing never to watch again. Even some who continue to tune in expressa feeling of lifelessness without the excitement of the Adam LambertEffect. To quote Simon speaking to Adam "No one can top that now." Andno one can. The shine is off AI, a portion of its audience has turnedaway, much of its current audience is nodding off, sending the showspinning towards a black hole. And now American Idol is the equivalentof a dead man walking. Even if it continues for another season it willsurely be a shadow of its former greatness. But an interestingthing happened on the way to the mortuary. While drawing what could beits last breath American Idol has crowned Adam Lambert. He was invitedto be the mentor for Elvis week. In an obvious symbolic gesture ofassent to his unequaled talent among AI alumni, American Idol gave AdamLambert the unprecedented honor of being the only AI contestant,including every winner from every season, to ever be chosen to mentoron Idol, for his name to stand alongside the likes of Smokey Robinson,Tony Bennett, Diana Ross, Stevie Wonder, and other legendaryentertainers that have lent their prestige and professional knowledgeto the show’s contestants. This was no small gesture on the part ofAmerican Idol. On some level, with that gesture, American Idol not onlypresented to him the crown he'd been denied, but the show awarded AdamLambert the title of Idol over all Idols. And it seems fitting thatAdam was crowned during Elvis week, one rising King honoring anotherlegendary one. On the night following Adam’s stint as mentor onAmerican Idol, with or without their permission, Adam Lambert claimedand wore that crown and that title. With what can only be described asa mind boggling performance of his hit single Whataya Want From Me,appearing as an apparition in dark profile within a green cone ofilluminated swirling clouds, Adam delivered the opening verse of thesong with clear, strong, yet hauntingly measured notes that swept hisaudience into a space/time continuum in which only he and they existed,then broke out into full Planet Fierce rock mode complete with glossyElvis-esque jacket and pompadour, yet facial and body language that wasclearly signature Glambert. It was a stunning performance, one whichsome have labeled the best Idol return performance the show has everseen, lending even more validity to his newly bestowed crown. Hesingle-handedly transformed the Idol stage into the Adam Lambertconcert, and in doing so, claimed the stage as his own. Anyone else whoever performs on that stage from now on will be borrowing it from AdamLambert. After the events of Adam Lambert’s triumphant return to theAmerican Idol stage, it seems like the season 8 finale announcementnever happened. For many of Adam’s fans the experience has providedcomplete closure. Adam Lambert has come back to American Idol, where a year ago he had an appointment with destiny. And American Idol, the unique show that launched this supernova, has finally crowned their Idol of, and for, all time.
