Adam Lambert Glam Nation Tour - Washington Post Review

The Glamberts are up in arms over this -- they want writer Chris Richards fired!

For the record: I did not think that the concert was as bad as the Washington Post says it is in their review:

But when Adam Lambert's Glam Nation tour erupted on the 9:30 club stage Monday night, it wasn't so much a feast for the eyeballs as a test on the eardrums. The singer, famous for taking second place in the eighth season of "American Idol," proved that his voice may actually be too powerful for its own good. Unchecked by Simon, Paula, Kara, Randy or human dignity, Lambert would often venture into timbres somewhere between nails-on-chalkboard and sneaker-on-basketball-court.

I guess Adam isn't for everybody -- but the reaction from the fans is what makes this entertaining and post-worthy. A sample:

I just sent an email to Washington Post Customer Service, Reader Feedback and the Ombudsman complaining about Mr. Richard's biased review. I have put my home delivery subsription on hold until a retraction is posted. here are the email addresses:interactivity@washingtonpost.com, custhelp-wp@washingtonpost.com, ombudsman@washpost.com (ombudsman may be the most important of these addresses) here is the text of my email:

I have put a vacation hold on my Washington Post Sunday subscription until I decide what to do after reading Chris Richards extremely biased, unfair, hateful and bordering on homophobic review of last night's Adam Lambert concert at the 9:30 club. Please see the more than 120 comments, mostly from incensed people who attended the concert, most of whom thought it was one of the best performances they had ever seen in their life. All bloggers are entitled to their opinions and a fair and honest negative review is always welcome, but this review is so clearly inconsistent with the views of nearly everyone that commented on the article, that it should be considered biased and unfair. A retraction should be posted and the right of Mr. Richards to blog on washingtonpost.com should be reviewed. Perhaps Mr. Richards should blog independently, but having his biased views posted on washingtonpost.com drastically reduces the credibility of your site. I have been a subscriber for 8 years and will likely cancel my subscription if some correction to this abhorrent review is not made.

LOL.

I guess these are from the same people who attacked me for not being a "professional" like the writers of MTV and Entertainment Weekly who gave Adam's concert the triple thumbs up and then some. And then when someone from the New York Times and the Washington Post writes a review not to their liking -- they campaign to get the person fired. Oh so those writers aren't professionals as well?

But you have to admire the passion of the fans. Good job guys!
