Adam Lambert's album, "For your Entertainment" again proves he is an amazing singer. Only few like him are born each decade. with his set of vocal skills He has a 4 octave range, and glides seamlessly between his chest voice, head voice and falsetto(very high voice). His intonation is perfect,the timbre of even his biggest,loudest notes is still pleasing. His stamina is phenomenal. The album ranges from touching ballads(to up tempo,harder edged rock or dance songs. "For Your Entertainment" is a breath of fresh air in an era of predictable, cliched,repetitious and raunchy music. The Rock anthem,"We are the Surefire Winners" is as infectious as "We will Rock you". The tender, eerie, almost middle Eastern flair of "Soaked" delivers goosebumps every time. The tempo changes within it- keep it uber-interesting- and delightfully unformulaic. "Broken Open", with its "Mad World" vibe, is a swirling mist of expressiveness you could be lost in forever. "Loaded Smile" is indeed a thought provoker. It tenderly flips back and forth between the ambiguous feelings (Does he love me or not?) of many anguished relationships. Kudos to Adam's many colaberators: Pink, Lady Ga Ga, Kara DiGuirdo etc). for their creativity. Adam Lambert first distinquished himself on the American Idol TV show's 8th season, and now proves himself as an Artist. Make no mistake about his star quality- If his homosexuality was not an issue for some voters,(go figure- it WAS a singing contest!),he surely would have won American Idol. He raised alot of money for children during the AI tour, by asking the fans to donate rather than send him gifts. Another of his contributions is singing the title song for the recent movie "2012". Adam pushed some buttons with an outlandish appearance on the 2009 American Music Awards. But that was ONE performance- where, yeah, he went way over the top- he admits he is still learning. What Rocker hasnt gone to excess at some point? Think of Madonna's "Like a Virgin", Prince's buttless pants on a past awards show, The innumerable crotch grabs, Janet Jacksons boob flash at the superbowl etc etc. When on AI,and in subsequent interviews and blog posts, you can see Adam for what he is:an open, honest, well spoken, humble young man. He speaks with nothing but respect and thanks towards his fans, the judges, the band, the conducthe stylists,the back up singers etc. Don't mix the real Adam up with his brash, dark, persona you saw on the AMA,interpreting an edgy, sexy, song. From start to finish, every single song hits the right note of either punchy impact or poignant empathy. It is well worth buying the whole album. As the opening tune says "You Make Me Feel Like Listening to Music Again". My only criticism of FYE is that I longed to hear another duet with Adam and the Amazing Alison Irahita- as they did with "Slow Ride" on American Idol and on the AI tour. But maybe that is something for his next album. Between this album, singing on Broadway,being the 09 AI star, - he has a long career to look forward to. PS Thanks to Adam's parents for providing those 10 years of voice lessons and childrens'theater, to their little boy who liked t play dress up.

...You should get this album. I do apologize if any of you don't find this like one of those SERIOUS and ELABORATED reviews but I'm not a music critic or some sort of person who wastes her time with elaborated "amazon like" reviews on eBay. I just offer my honest point of view :) With all this said... Adam's amazing voice fills you up with a plethora of different emotions and takes you to another dimension. Each song on this album is like a personal story (yes even "For Your Entertainment") I mean who has never been in at least one of those situations? But I have to confess my two favorite tracks are " Whataya want from me " and "Time for Miracles" Adam's range of voice is unique. Only few artist has that something in their voice that gives you shivers and makes your whole body vibrate with a couple of notes. The art in the CD is pretty interesting. Adam being Adam I guess. Beautiful Art, great pictures of him showing the kind of artist he is Colorful, Daring and of course damn sexy ;p I loved this album so much, I even bought a second copy and keep it on a safe place. I know Adam is here to stay and 20 years from now, this, his 1st CD will be a collectors treasure.Read full review

I would Highly recommend this item to any other Adam Lambert fan. Sincerely, Leigh Ann Ferguson Ebay User ID......... davies123024
This is one of the best CDs I have purchased in years! Adam demonstrates such an incredible vocal range in a variety of different musical styles.He would be an awesome front for Queen or Aerosmith. But I am so glad he took the solo "strut" first.. His potential is unlimited. This middle-aged lady loves him!
As an Americal Idol fan, I was disappointed that Adam Lambert didn't win his season, but of course he's way too exotic and frightening for most of middle America. The CD? From beginning to end, amazing. This guy can really sing! His high notes are exquisite, and his lower register is lush and amazing. The first cut, You Make Me Want to Listen to Music Again, says it all for me. I've listened to this CD almost continuously since I unwrapped it. Although a few of the cuts are a little heavy on the rock & roll for me, the ballads are drop-dead delicious. The title cut is sexy as hell. Drama aplenty, beautiful orchestrations, and a real sense that Adam Lambert is an artist who'll be around for a long time complete the package. My best music purchase in a decade!
Love it. Terrific voice love his style
