Adam Lambert îl interpretează pe Eddie, un fost curier, o apariție explozivă - la propriu.
Cu toate că rolul său este unul foarte scurt, Eddie a rămas în memoria tuturor datorită celebrei piese „Hot Patootie” - declarată favorita publicului în 1975, interpretată de Meat Loaf.
Nici Adam Lambert nu s-a lăsat mai prejos, momentul lui fiind unul dintre cele mai comentate și apreciate de telespectatori, dar și de recenziile de specialitate.
„And then, Adam Lambert came crashing onto the screen — literally, on a motorcycle, through a castle window — and he put the “Rock” back in “Rocky Horror.”
Hot patootie, bless my soul. I really loved this rock ‘n’ roll. And this squeaky-clean show really needed it. Taking on the Eddie role played by Meat Loaf in ’75, a greasy, grubby, gritty Lambert — a twisted vision in dirty denim and bad-boy biker leather — wailed, flailed, snarled, snarked, and just plain rawked. For four gloriously gonzo minutes, Rocky Horrorseemed a little dangerous again.And then (spoiler alert) Eddie got knifed, died in a spectacularly dramatic fashion — and it was all over. Time is fleeting, indeed. It’s a shame that Lambert was offered the Frank-N-Furter role but passed, because his electric cameo just wasn’t enough.”
„Adam Lambert's "Hot Patootie" 'Rocky Horror' Performance Did Meat Loaf Proud [...]
And, in Lambert's hands, the musical number was a memorable rendition of the fan-favorite, and Eddie was just as sympathetic and dreamy as ever.”
„Adam Lambert plays the small but key role of Eddie originated by Meat Loaf and manages to deliver what should be considered the definitive version of "Hot Patootie Bless My Soul" ”
Despre celebrul musical al anilor '70, Adam declară:
“I grew up watching Rocky Horror, but could never imagine that I would be part of this new vision. Rocky Horror always made me feel like it was OK to celebrate my weirdness. Hallelujah, bless my soul! I love that old time rock-n-roll!”
Deși inițal i s-a oferit rolul principal, al doctorului Frank-N-Furter, Adam a refuzat, precizând:
“I kind of felt like in 2016, to be cis and playing the role of a trans character, it felt inappropriate to me. In the ‘70s, it was different. But nowadays we have such an amazing conversation that’s started about trans and gender in this world. I think casting Laverne was so brilliant. It’s so appropriate, you know what I mean?”
It’s very forward-thinking and it feels very right now, which is going to make this remake really interesting.
"With my schedule, it was just not looking likely. When they started announcing the cast, I said, 'Wait a minute — what about Eddie? I wanna play Eddie! I could do that — that’s like one song. Let me just come in and do a bit part!' Because I really, really wanted to be a part of it."
Actualmente Adam Lambert poate fi urmărit la show-ul de televiziune „X Factor” Australia, ale cărui ediții live încep duminică, 23 octombrie.
