Adam Lambert's Early 'Ten Commandments' Clip Surfaces
Val Kilmer starred in the musical, but the 'American Idol'
front-runner stood out.

There are a few things we've learned about "American Idol" front-runner
Adam Lambert over these past few months: The 27-year-old Los Angeles
musical-theater actor loves to switch it up and do unusual takes on songs
you know; he's very comfortable on the stage; he's got a jet-engine screaming
falsetto wail; and he may have gotten the first-ever standing ovation from
sourpuss judge Simon Cowell this week.
當當二三事：本週這隻酸貓/壞嘴貓站起來鼓勵他呢。
But here's something you might not have known about Lambert: He once starred
in a stage production with none other than Val Kilmer. Do a YouTube search
for Lambert and you'll find dozens of clips of him performing at Upright
Cabaret in Los Angeles alongside tons of generic bits from his demo reel.
但他曾經和方基墨一起演出音樂劇噢，這你就不知道了吧？
快去Youtube找找他以前的演出。
The crowning piece of video, though, is Lambert in frayed, dingy brown
sackcloth and a ratty long wig, crooning "Is Anybody Listening" in a 2004
production of "The Ten Commandments" at the Kodak Theatre in Los Angeles.
As an Egyptian slave driver cracks the whip at him, Lambert, playing the
slave Joshua, emotes his way through the tune from atop a ladder and slowly
makes his way across the stage toward a buff Kilmer, who is done up in a
headdress and loin cloth as Moses.
也就是說當當已經在Kodak Theatre演出過了。
（翻譯誤很大，但反正此處只是在說明當當在該音樂劇演出的角色Joshua，並且在柯達
戲院演出。）
In the midst of Passover — which celebrates the Jewish people's exodus
from Egypt — the Los Angeles Times Culture Monster blog dug up some
information on the show and reported that the multimillion-dollar production
was produced by BCBG fashion design house founder Max Azria and was, for the
most part, not so well received during its short run.
（此處承上）
The Times theater reviewer did, however, write at the time that the then
unknown Lambert "does the best in 'Is Anybody Listening?' It is also the
best song." That's high praise, given that the critic said the entire cast
was beautiful, but "few singers or dancers distinguish themselves with a
personal sound or style."
Times的評論家則指出，這位不知名的藍啪在該音樂劇，於Is Anybody Listening
部份表現最好，這首並且也是該音樂劇最佳的歌曲。可惜「只有少數歌手/舞者真正
以自己的特色在全部的選角中突出，雖然整體選角不錯。」
Lambert's performance in the lavish Biblical epic is a colorful element of
the "Idol" and religion connection that has emerged during a season in which
more than half of the finalists have strong ties to their churches back home.
MTV News could not reach Lambert, who is locked inside the "Idol" bubble at
the moment, and calls to Kilmer's manager were not returned at press time.
But it's worth noting that Lambert told reports last month that though his
theater training might help him on the show, it's not the vibe he's going
for.
當當曾表示，舞台的訓練當然可能成為現在的助力，那樣的生活卻不是他所想追求的。
"I'm not going for a Broadway sound," he said. "But the cool thing is that
this is finally allowing me to be myself. I mean, I don't listen to show
tunes in my spare time, I can assure you. ... The musical thing was kind of
the way that I was paying the bills. I mean, we all gotta have a job right?
But now I get to finally sing the kind of music I like to listen to."
「我可不是想追求百老匯的發展」「走入音樂劇其實就是個工作啦，我總需要處理我
的帳單吧？現在我終於可以好好做自己想做的事了，我終於可以唱我喜歡聽的歌了，
相信我，我平常可不聽這些音樂劇的歌呢。」當當如是說。
