Oldie but Goodie
I'm putting this under "International Success" because I think Adam Lambert is from... I dunno... um... someplace else?

Shirley Halperin of The Hollywood Reporter: "And as season 10 winds down, Adam clearly has a lot to say about the top six finalists, first and foremost, his current favorite: Haley Reinhart. “
I love Haley so much because musically and vocally, she’s doing things that are at a top-notch level,” he told THR at Wednesday’s ASCAP Pop Music Awards, where Adam introduced Songwriter of the Year winner Max Martin. “It’s incredible how Haley makes it look so easy and effortless. Plus, she’s having fun up there. I don’t feel like she’s working so hard to prove herself or to prove a point. She’s just singing and taking joy in music.”
But when it comes to Haley, Adam does take issue with judges Jennifer Lopez, Steven Tyler and Randy Jackson — he doesn’t think they foist enough positive reinforcement on the girl.
“I wish the judges gave her a little bit more praise because what she’s doing is technically superb,” he says."

First bolded quote: Adam would know because he has the vocal chops to match her! (I just wish he was doing better music to showcase his phenomenal chops!)
Second bolded quote: Ah, such a diplomatic approach! (Again, Adam knew the technical aspects that neither Randy nor J-Lo get, because Randy wasn't a singer, and J-Lo, well, she's not a singer either, despite the persistent recordings she keeps making.)
P.S. OK - I know that J-Lo remark was really snarky, but I'm not going to retract it.)
