I haven't really followed this season of American Idol, but I have seen enough. Let me be the first to say that Adam Lambert is a young Mandy Patinkin. The resemblance, while not exact, is there. Lambert has that Broadway/showtunes background which seeps in his performances, no matter how hard he tries to go the other way.
Lambert probably won't win Idol (then again, Taylor Hicks), but he's bound to have some sort of career in showbiz. Will it be as mercurial as Patinkin's, devoted to tormenting the Thomas Gibsons of the mid-21st century? Whatever happens, Lambert does appear to have sufficient flamboyance to pull of a line such as "Hello. My name is Inigo Montoya. You killed my father. Prepare to die."
