Adam Lambert is our (theBestArts) favorite performer from American Idol 2009. This video contains excerpts from a number of Adam's performances from the last year or two (see song list below).
View the complete (and higher quality) versions of each of these videos (plus many others from Adam) at http://www.theBes...
Adam's offical website is now up:

We have a website page that includes the full videos (not just audio) of each of Adam's Idol performances:
http://www.thebes...
Most viewers were introduced to Adam during his Idol audition, when he sang 20 seconds of Queen's "Bohemian Rhapsody." We think you'll be impressed by the wide range of styles he performs in this montage.
Judges loved his Hollywood Week group performance of "Some Kind of Wonderful". After his performance, new judge Kara told him "You're an incredible singer. You are." Later in the competition, Kara said "Your vocal technique and ability is outrageous... Who has a range like that?"
According to http://www.IdolRa... Adam has the widest full-voice range of any performer who's appeared on the show. (Interestingly, he ties with Chris Daughtry.) In 2009, however, nobody else came close. Adam's range was six notes or more wider than every other contestant. I was somewhat surprised to learn that Adam sang lower on the show than Anoop or Michael Sarver - and only one half step above Danny's lowest note.
Adam is best known for his long-term role as understudy for Fiyero in the LA cast of "Wicked" and his role in the 2006 film "The Ten Commandments: the Musical" where he sang one solo.

Acclaimed Chinese journalist Xinran Xue retells an inspirational story of perseverance about a mother who lived in a public restroom for 28 years, but still managed to send her two children to the top universities in China with no government assistance. "Real China is made by Chinese mothers and grandmothers, from each individual family's hard work," says Xinran.
-----
Xinran Xue talks about her book, China Witness: Voices from a Silent Generation.
While the West has commonly viewed the last one hundred years in China through the single narrative lens of Mao's rise and rule, the experience for the Chinese themselves has been infinitely more complex. Xinran, a national celebrity and beloved figure in China who hosted a hugely popular radio show in the 1990s, traveled across China in 2005 and 2006 to gather interviews that form the true narrative of the times.
She sought out the nation's grandparents and great-grandparents, the men and women who have experienced change in the modern era firsthand, in cities and remote villages, interviewing them for the first, and perhaps the last, time.
Though many of them continue to harbor a fear of repercussions for speaking freely, they did speak with Xinran with stunning candor about their hopes, fears, and struggles, from the Long March to land reform, from Mao to marriage, from revolution to Westernization.
China Witness gives us the essence of modern China a portrait intimate, nuanced, and revelatory.
Xinran was born in Beijing in 1958 and moved to London, where she still lives, in 2007. She is the author of The Good Woman of China and Sky Burial. -- Berkeley Arts and Letters
