I have been to hundreds of concerts in my time and at a very few of them did I feel privileged to be in the presence of a gifted vocalist. Adam Lambert's concerts were in that rare category. And yes, I did say concerts in the plural because if you love superior vocal talent, one concert will not be enough -- you will want to experience that voice again and again. Sadly, monetary and time constraints prevent many of us from hearing this extraordinary voice live as often as we might wish.
Luckily, Lambert has released this Acoustic LIve EP so we can experience his vocal gifts over and over again.
The best track is Whataya Want From Me, this live recording of which is so perfect, so pristine and yet, amazingly, also so emotionally-driven, that your heart would have to be petrified not to feel the need, pathos and hope Lambert conveys. Soaked is nothing less than the vocal masterclass he taught to rapt audiences around the world --watching an audience go from shrieking insanity to appreciative silent admiration was itself a stunning example of showmanship. Stripped of the theatrical orchestration and bombast of the album version, Lambert's voice -- surely one of the best in the world -- soars. Only when the song concludes, can the listener breathe again. Lambert co-wrote Aftermath; the rock treatment on his original For Your Entertainment cd will now be overshadowed by the quiet conviction and hope of this far superior acoustic treatment. Mad World is, of course, Lambert's signature tune -- at least for right now -- and hopefully its inclusion here will satisfy fans upset over its exclusion on FYE.
If you loved Lambert's FYE cd, you will enjoy the opportunity to hear songs re-conceived in a way that allows this amazing voice to shine and soar and grip you with its emotion. If you didn't like FYE and thought it was overproduced and hid Lambert's vocals, then this acoustic EP is the album for you. If you've never paid attention to Lambert's voice -- then start!
What a lovely gift to us all in this dark season and amidst the sludge of autotuned dreck that masquerades as music today. Lambert brings us back to real music, again.

Lambert is famous and infamous for many things. The press loves to put his name in any article for internet hits. He shaves a few inches of hair on the side of his head and it is world news. BUT, take all that away, and the reason so many people are smitten with him is his impecable voice! The best in the business. Able to sing multitudinous styles and genres. Stripped away of everything but simple backing instruments, the voice shines brilliantly.
Even more impressive, these tracks were not recorded in multiple takes in a studio with the engineers using autotune to tweak the faulty pitches, and electronics to enhance the tone or depth of the voice. No one spliced together the best bits and pieces of 24 different takes. No producers created the voice we hear. These tracks were recorded LIVE, in performance on the radio or at his sold out show. It demonstrates that behind the fashion, the costumes, the make-up and the hype, this guy has years and years of technical vocal training to go along with a uniquely beautiful voice. He has worked hard and paid his dues for many years, and we are grateful and excited that we can now enjoy THAT VOICE on our iPods daily.

Adam Lambert is one of those rare performers who can actually sing with out all the studio gimmicks. This is a must have for all music purest. This live recording in concert without the benefit of retakes or studio gimmicks shows just how gifted this man is.

Unbelieveable vocals
I like the acoustic version of Soaked more than the original which I felt was a bit over produced. Love all the remixes.
