Lambert Shines Again: Gets Standing O from Simon Cowell

The theme was Year They Were Born Wish List, and Adam Lambert´s ¨Mad World¨ was amazingly maddening. Perfect song. Perfect notes. Perfect voice. The reigning star of American Idol season 8 has done it again. He was the last contestant to perform, and since the show was running out of time, only one judge was asked to respond. It was Simon Cowell, and this is what he said: ¨I think words are unnecessary but I want to give you a standing ovation.” Nothing else could have been a more appropriate conclusion to an incredible American Idol night marked by fantastic performances from all the contestants except Scott MacIntyre and Lil Rounds who had to say goodbye.
