Down To 6... Or Not; Adam Lambert Advances Again On AMERICAN IDOL

Adam Lambert has once again advanced on AMERICAN IDOL after tonight's result show. In a suprising twist, the judges have utilized their first-ever 'save,' so Lambert will remain in the top 7.

Judge Simon Cowell informed the contestants that there is no reason to celebrate the surprise move, as 2 contestants will go home next week. Cowell also announced that next week's theme will be 'Disco'.

AMERICAN IDOL's theme this week was "Songs From The Cinema", with special guest Quentin Tarentino. Adam Lambert rocked the evening with "Born To be Wild." The song was performed by Steppenwolf on the soundtrack for the 1969 film "Easy Rider."

As AMERICAN IDOL ran into overtime last week, the decision was made to only have two judges speak after each performance. Lambert's critiques were from Paula Abdul and Simon Cowell.

Lambert once again impressed the judges with his magnificant vocals, although Simon felt that fans of the original version might not be satisfied with the performance, due to the contemporary pop feel.

The New York Post recently announced that Adam Lambert is the odds-on favorite to be the next "American Idol."

Oddsmakers from Latin American to London for the first time this week have made the show-stopping crooner such a prohibitive favorite to win this year's "Idol" that a $1 bet on him will pay only 80 cents reports the Post. To read the Post take on Lambert's chances, click here.

On last Wednesday's results show, Lambert was once again voted through, making him a member of the show's Top 8.

In addition to performing in WICKED, Adam Lambert also had a role in The Ten Commandments and appeared in The Zodiac Show.

AMERICAN IDOL is created and executive-produced by Simon Fuller, founder of 19 Entertainment; and executive-produced by Cecile Frot-Coutaz, CEO, FremantleMedia North America; and Ken Warwick, Executive Producer, FremantleMedia North America.
