    The greens looked somewhat ok, the blue/green or rgb or whatever was behind him was pretty crappy. Overall, not terribly impressive. Still, as a nub, it gives me plenty of ideas.

    I've never listened to his music before, but one second of a screeching "whudduyuh want" was enough to make me turn the mute back on.

    I did catch the show...

    May be I shouldn't admit it here in the public but I have been following this season :/
    (Not to proud of this) LOL!!!

    I am sure the producers were not to happy with all of the fog... I could tell they kept trying to capture full stage shots but the venue was so saturated with fog thay had to keep all of the shot up close on stage.

    Why the heck did they smoke that place out so much!!? Just a good disapated puff of smoke and it would have looked great!

    With the amount of fog that was in that venue, those could have been .5mW projectors!!! LOL, holy smoke machines batman!!!

    Very unprofessional and "arbitrary" show for a national TV audience. just looked like a few systems turned on and let to bounce beams around in sound active mode.

    What a shame. It could have been a pretty decent display. 3 systems (from what it seemed like to me) could have been used for some very simple, synced (sp?) beam matrices, a few fans here and there. I dont think it needed anything super fancy. Just at least in-synch (how do you spell "synch? lol) beams would have been nice.

    I would rate the lasers as....OK.

    as far a Adam Lambert...He appears to be the illegitimate love child between Chris Iassic and Boy George and I mean that in a dreamy sort of a NAMBLA way. I never have been a big fan of intense eye make up on men...i dont know...may be it is just me

    Glambert's makeup must have sucked the budget dry for that gig. (no pun intended)
