Granted, Adam Lambert was technically beginning his "American Idol" journey at this point in time two years agoo -- but is it really too late for him to get some much-deserved praise? The commendation this time is also coming from someone who knows the music business more than just a little bit -- legendary performer Frank Sinatra's daughter Nancy.
Speaking in a number of Twitter posts on Saturday, Sinatra defended Adam for pretty much everything he did on the show -- even though she also received some backlish for some of her statements about his performance style. Here are just a few highlights from the discussion:
•"Adam will never have to be in a box. He is far too talented and brilliant."
•"I voted for him [on "Idol"] many times and I was FURIOUS when he lost."
•"Adam's best to date is his acoustic album but he must make the image fit the music now."
•"There are similarities with Adam and Elton [John], I agree. I respect both of them tremendously."
Much of this discussion between Sinatra and Adam's fans began when Nancy stated that she felt Adam needs to focus more on his music rather than what she feels to be an "over-the-top" sense of style -- she later said that it was not her intention to criticize him so much as just offer her opinion on how she feels he can best succeed.
