He came. He saw. He covered the stage in glitter. On Sunday night (June 27), Adam Lambert played to a sold-out crowd at Baltimore’s Rams Head Live as part of his first headlining trek around North America dubbed the Glam Nation tour. The sometimes controversial, all the time intriguing glamster took fans on a laser and leather-filled ride through his debut album, For Your Entertainment. Lambert used the album’s title-track to mercilessly tease the crowd of mostly women of various ages and glitter coverage into swooning, screaming fangirls.

When he finally appeared — tall, dressed very Boy George-esque with a top hat perched on his head, simply gorgeous — at the top of a staircase directly in the middle of the stage, the screams grew deafening.

The screams never died down even as Adam traded high-energy tracks like “Fever,” “Strut,” and “Music Again” for soul-stirring — scratch that — soul-slaying easy listening numbers like “Sleepwalker” and “Soaked.”

The Glam Nation tour is a must-see. Here are five reasons why:

1. The opening acts, Allison Iraheta and Orianthi: We weren’t forced to yawn through a bunch of lame show-starters. These ladies put on rockin’ performances and even showed what Girl Power is all about when Orianthi joined Allison onstage for “Don’t Waste The Pretty.” Allison has blossomed immensely since her time on American Idol. She delivered her performance with confidence and fire. Orianthi, who was handpicked by Michael Jackson to play on his ill-fated This Is It tour, easily shamed male rockers twice her age with her guitar skills.

2. It’s not just a concert, it’s a chance to play dress-up: Fans took advantage of the Glam Nation’s number one unwritten rule which states you should show up in you most outrageously glam gear. Walking through the venue, I spotted men in tight leather, women in sequins leggings, black eyeliner for days, and buckets worth of glitter.

3. Girls — of all ages — just want to have fun: Glamberts are often accused of being a bunch of middle-aged women. Nothing wrong with that, but you’d be very, very wrong to assume that’s where Adam’s appeal ends. Girls of all ages were at the show to get their glam on. The best part: seeing a girl who had to be around 16 years old with her mother and grandmother all dancing and singing together.

4. The covers songs: Each act performed at least one kick-ass cover song: Allison took on Pat Benatar’s “Heartbreaker,” Orianthi and her guitar shredded through Prince’s “Let’s Go Crazy,” and Adam gave a scorching rendition of Johnny Cash’s “Ring of Fire.” (*Tears!* *Sadness!* Baltimore didn’t get Adam’s much-buzzed about “Whole Lotta Love” cover.)

5. THAT VOICE: Sure, you’ve heard Adam’s voice on TV and on the radio, but there’s nothing like hearing it live. Trying to explain it is a waste of time. Watch the video of “Soaked” above. Take how great it sounds there (minus the screaming fans) and multiply it by five. You might come close.
