American Idol finalist Adam Lambert has a great sense of style. Combine his style with his powerful voice and charisma and I predict that Adam Lambert will be the winner of American Idol 2009. Adam does indeed have that Rock Star Look and he backs it up with a great voice and stage presence.
There are many components to Stage Presence. First and foremost comes being comfortable with and confident in yourself. Confidence is sexy and makes you look like a winner. You also need to be able to project your voice to the entire room and make every person there feel like you are singing to them. Fashion plays a big part in stage presence. Think of all of the enduring Rock Gods. Steven Tyler and Mick Jagger have made an art form out of stage wear. Adam has and does all of these things. He is the total package. If he can put together a strong group of musicians to create a rock band that he will be the front man for then he has a real future.
The fashions worn by contestants on American Idol have become a phenomena of their own. Case in point, the TV Guide Network is doing a special show on May 24, 2009 that is all about American Idol Fashions. The clothing and accessories worn by Adam Lambert will play a large part in that show.
American Idol contestants work with fashion stylists supplied by the network to come up with the outfits they wear on stage each week. Adam, like the other contestants works with stylists but what I think sets him apart from a fashion standpoint is that he adds finishing touches of his own to complete his stage ensembles. Adam has received several gifts sent to him by his fans at the Adam Lambert Connection and has been known to wear some of the gifts on stage during his performances on American Idol. The good folks at the Adam Lambert Connection have a great sense of what Adam’s style is and have been able to choose items to send him that work well for him. A few weeks back they sent him a Rocker Jewelry Pendant from http://TattooApparel.com that Adam liked so much that he wore it two weeks in a row on the show. He wore the large Spiked Pendant on the show the week with Quentin Tarantino and again the week when doing his fabulous rendition of Led Zeppelin’s Whole Lotta Love. The current, May 28th issue of Rolling Stone Magazine has a full page article about Adam and there is a photo of him in Rolling Stone wearing this same pendant.
Bold fashion accessories have long been associated with Rockers and Musicians. Slash will forever be thought of wearing his top hat and Elton John is famous for his wild glasses. I think it is safe to say that Adam Lambert will be known for bold pendants worn with open shirts or v-necks and he wears them well!
