'Idol' runnerup Adam Lambert plays Peoria
PEORIA — Don't let the black makeup scare you.
There's glitter underneath, in the hair and on the clothes of the "Glamberts" - the moniker for fans of the season eight "American Idol" runner-up Adam Lambert.
False eyelashes, glitter eye shadow, big hair and black spandex were aplenty outside the Peoria Civic Center on Sunday as fans waited outside tour buses to catch a glimpse of the similarly-styled pop star and his band before he performed in front of a sold-out crowd.
For Holly and Sara Belmont of Justice, a southwestern suburb of Chicago, it was the fourth time seeing Lambert in concert. The mother and daughter said they've been fans of him since his "Idol" audition.
"First of all, he's hot," said Sara, 18, who thinks Lambert is reminiscent of Queen frontman Freddie Mercury. "And then he opened his mouth and it was like, 'Oh my God.'"
Mom agrees.
"Just the voice," Holly, 52, said pausing to shake her head, "is outrageous."
And it seems fans will do just about anything to be in the presence of that voice.
Kirsten Izatt, 43, of Wheaton once drove more than 1,000 miles between back-to-back Friday and Saturday shows in Michigan to pick up her 13-year-old daughter, Kelley. Kirsten and Kelley Izatt have been to six and three shows, respectively, and paid for Lambert's meet and greet before Sunday's show.
"I grew up on a lot of fun, male entertainers, and that's why I like Lambert," Kirsten Izatt said. "It's great how he's taken his shows to all these small towns."
Going to towns like Peoria and snubbing larger cities like Chicago often means more traveling, but as a member of Glam Nation, fan Samantha Powell said that people are more than happy to give fellow Glamberts a ride.
Fans also are very active on Twitter and live-tweet the concert for other fans to see, said Powell, 24, of Lafayette, Ind.
"It's the devotion to Adam. . . . They see him for the first time and they go to six or seven (more) shows," she said.
Openly-gay Lambert's eyecatching style and, at times, racy acts, like kissing a male keyboardist at the 2009 American Music Awards, often make headlines, but fans keep coming back for more because of his raw talent and positive message. Lambert's song, "If I Had You" off his album "For Your Entertainment" has spent 10 weeks on the Billboard Hot 100 list.
"(It's) all about love and being who you are and seeing what's good in other people," said Powell.
This message seems to span all ages. Mary Kay Winebrenner, 67, of Wheaton held a sign that read "Grandmothers 4 Glamberts" outside the Civic Center.
"I knew from the beginning he was going somewhere," said Winebrenner, of Lambert's "Idol" days. "I can listen to him sing the phone book."

Adam Lambert falls on VH1, constant on MuchMore
In this week's recap of Adam Lambert's position on music video charts, we have both some good news for fans north of the border and also some sad news here in the States. However, even with that comes some encouragement for the future.
Let's start with the "American Idol" singer's performance on MuchMore's "MM Top Ten" in Canada, where "If I Had You" is still sitting an #2 despite being on the charts all summer. What is this proving? More than anything, perseverance. It is a sign of just how devoted Adam's fans are to the song, and how willing they are to continue voting week after week in order to get it to the top. This effort has certainly paid off, as "If I Had You" is now officially a top ten hit north of the border.
Meanwhile, on VH1's Top 20 Countdown the song fell six places all the way to #15. While there are some fans upset about this news, we could also look at it as a ceremonial passing of the torth. Every song is bound to fall at one point or another, and maybe this is merely time to get ready for Adam's next single and accompanying video. The only difficult part of the equation is figuring out when Adam (in the midst of this Glam Nation Tour) is going to have the time to shoot a video for "Sleepwalker," "Aftermath," or whatever he decides to put on the radio next.

Adam Lambert reaches new high point on Canadian Hot 100
Adam Lambert went into the Billboard chart announcement Thursday with some momentum, but it was still to be seen exactly how he would finish up in terms of final numbers. Thankfully, all of the news this week is good news.
First, let's start with the most major development -- that Adam now has reached a new peak with "If I Had You" on the Canadian Hot 100. After re-entering the top ten last week with the song, he is now sitting at #8. The last time the "American Idol" singer was so high on the chart was when "Whataya Want From Me" ultimately peaked at #3 north of the border earlier this year.
As for Adam's overall chart movement here in the States, there really isn't much movement to even talk about. For the second straight week, the singer is sitting at #32. This is likely due to a decrease in single sales, though increased radio airplay helped to maintain a strong position near the top thirty of the chart.

Adam and the band on the visit to Donorschoose on the fan club website
On Tuesday, August 24th, Adam, Cam, Monte, Tommy, and Longineu made a special appearance at the office of DonorsChoose.org, an online charity that delivers materials to high-need classrooms, and Adam’s charity of choice! The band surprised the student jazz band of JHS 278 Marine Park and their teacher with much-needed school supplies.
The band played two songs for Adam and his bandmates. They had the chance to ask Adam about life on tour, what inspired him to sing, and what it was like to be on American Idol. The students were then given a chance to learn the opening to “If I Had You” and received autographed CDs from Adam.
Music teacher Candis Pohl said about meeting Adam and his band, “It was an unforgettable day for not only the students but myself as well. Being able to make this possible for the students was just incredible. I loved seeing those HUGE smiles you saw on the students’ faces yesterday.” Candis is especially thankful that Adam is supporting DonorsChoose.org, “an organization that truly gives those teachers in need what is necessary to make their classroom run to their greatest potential.”
