He debuted his brand new romantic single “New Eyes,” and he commanded the stage well. It was clearly a “new era” of music.
The song encompassed elements of pop, R&B, and adult contemporary; moreover, it had a ’70s retro vibe to it, and it allowed his rich, dynamic voice to shine. Lambert exuded a great deal of confidence and soul throughout his performance of “New Eyes.” He is constantly reinventing himself as a recording artist and always manages to keep his music fresh and exciting for the fans.
Lambert also performed a duet with contestant Dimitrius Graham, where they collaborated on the classic Queen tune “Bohemian Rhapsody,” which allowed them to showcase their soaring voices. It was a true symphony that was well-received by all, and both performers (Lambert and Graham) seemed to have a lot of fun. Lambert’s performance on American Idol tonight garnered two giant thumbs up. Well done.
An internationally recognized recording artist, Lambert previously served as a celebrity guest mentor on American Idol during Queen week.
