Adam Lambert Standing Ovation Performance video

Adam Lambert Performed on American Idol Tuesday night after the show ran long and DVRs went dark. The Show was to run out of time for the judges to give their comments after Adam Lambert Performed "Mad World" by Tears for Fear of Season 8's American Idol Top 8 performance night.

For the first time in history of American Idol, judge Simon Cowell gave a competitor a Standing Ovation - and it was for Adam Lambert! The theme for Night was that each contestant sang a song from the years they were born.

The fact that Adam Lambert decided to take a risk and sing "Mad World" was a very courageous step and one that he must be very happy that he did. The song found a lot of success and was reviewed recently with Singer Gary Jules, who had a song that appears in the movie Donnie Darko. Adam is the reason to watch Idol this season. The other requested Idol-worn platitudes like True Colors and not for many reasons.
