Want to know a little more about this tour’s performers? Here are the crib notes: Adam Lambert – Despite being criticized by judges Kara DioGuardi and Simon Cowell for being theatrical during his audition, Adam Lambert has gone on to be one of the favorites on American Idol. His trademark black eyeliner and painted nails seem to add to his appeal rather than detract from it, and his outstanding performances of such varied songs as Cher’s “Believe”, Michael Jackson’s “Black or White”, Johnny Cash’s “Ring of Fire” and Tears for Fears’ “Mad World” have proven his talent and versatility.
