Rob Sheffields complete American Idol piece, "Whole Lotta Lambert," is on newsstands Rosetta Stone V3 now in our new issue. He will also take over to live blog the Idol finale on May 20th.American Idol is back on top, and its all one little black-leather-clad demon princes fault. For the past few seasons, Idol seemed to be dying of boredom, but Adam Lambert, a goth studlet with mascara, black nail polish and a falsetto from deep in the larynx of Lucifer, has single-handedly rescued the franchise. He can do sincerity and ridiculosity all at once, exactly the algorithm Idol has been striving for all these years. Lambert combines the different Idol archetypes, delivering the complete star thrill heretofore doled out one sliver at a time. He has the burning "say my name, bitch" thing of Chris Daughtry, the cutthroat vanity of a Carrie Underwood, but also that innocent desire to give pleasureAtilde; la Kelly Clarkson. He packs a whole Gong Cheap Rosetta Stone Software Show of Americana into one pair of striped spandex tights. (Savor the spandex and guyliner in these photos of Lamberts finest Idol moments.)Where the hell did they find this guy? Theres a "boy who fell to Earth" quality about him, like David Bowies Lady Stardust come to life.

Whether hes slutting up a rocker like "Born to Be Wild" ("wiii-eeee-iiyaaaiild!") or sobbing his way through "Mad World," he oozes pure awesome-stosterone.Having Adam around seems to cheer everybody up, including the other Rosetta Stone Greek singers, who know the pressures off.
