Last night’s Voice featured an astounding (though poorly lit) performance of Adam Lambert’s “What Do You Want From Me?” by the extravagantly bearded Nakia. By way of praise, Adam Levine admitted, “I’m pretty sure that, although I haven’t heard that song before, that you probably sang it better than the person that sang it originally.” How could he, right?! Lambert fans took to Twitter in his defense, and the glam icon himself tweeted, “Yeah Nakia! Saaaang boy!! Great performance. I think Adam might know who I am after this next album. Get ready for me Levine. Hahah.” The ensuing flurry of retweets have pushed Lambert’s sophomore album up 80 places on Vulture’s Anticipation Index. Beef! With sequins.
