Well, sorta.  And, definitely not in that way.  More like this:

This is part of a collection of Adam Lambert album cover parodies.  Several are good.  However, the comparison is there for a reason I imagine.  Adam Lambert loves glam.  Bowie loved glam.  Therefore, they have to be compared, right?

I don’t really think so.  Here’s the performance that got everyone all worked up:

And, here’s the glam I enjoyed as as kid:

Now, the difference being primarily, for me, that in Bowie’s glam days, it was the music that initially set Bowie apart.  Then you tossed in the odd outfits and sometimes bizarre stage shows.  Toss in a gay reference occasionally to keep them guessing.  But, with Bowie, it was more of a WTF moment than a statement on sexuality.  With Lambert, particularly this song and performance, it seemed to be purely a sexual statement.  The music is lame.  And, I mean, way lame.  This guy can sing, but doesn’t at this time.  Then you’ve got gay, S&M, bondage, blah, blah, blah.  If you can’t figure what these people are emulating, you never will.  This is no WTF moment.

People just don’t get what glam was.  Sure, it was some outlandish costumes, but the music was what set it apart. As rich as the visual experience was, the music was much moreso.  Until a Lambert or someone gets it, I’ll be disappointed.  Quite frankly, I don’t think Lambert ever will.
