Adam Lambert Dominates American Idol

at .

We're gonna come out and say it:

Adam Lambert is the greatest American Idol contestant of all-time.

Who else has received a standing ovation from Simon Cowell, as Lambert did last night following his incredible rendition of "Mad World?" Who else has the range and the unique style of this former theater performer?

In the interest of fairness to other contestants, we also enjoyed Matt Giraud this week. He looked quite cool in that Justin Timberlake fedora, while turning Stevie Wonder's “Part-Time Lover” into modern hit.

We also loved Allison Iraheta, who sung far beyond her age with Bonnie Raitt’s “I Can’t Make You Love Me.”
