| Advocate | Magazine | 2012-05-11 | Jeremy Kinser | Hot Sheet: Cheyenne Jackson Changes His Tune "On half of his often-dazzling sophomore album the pop superstar makes the dance record we’ve longed for, but Glambert also wraps his magnificent voice around gorgeous melodies — some with politically infused lyrics." |

"It would have been so easy to dismiss Adam Lambert as yet another prior American Idol participant who's desperately trying to stay relevant with the help of earwormy hits and ambitious styling. But the fact is that you can't ignore that this guy actually has something special. We call it talent. The songs, which could have passed as tiresome bubblegum pop, instead have both soul and personality thanks to Lambert's rocky yet still tender voice. In addition, he has the ability to build up emotions in his melodies, without getting stuck in long boring sections. I don't want to go as far as to call him a male Kelly Clarkson, but he's without a doubt awesome at managing his talent - even when the "Idol"-sign stops shining."
