Not one for holding his tongue, "American Idol" alum Adam Lambert tweeted about his favorite contestant of the new season: Todrick Hall.

"[Todrick is] def gonna surprise us!! Mad talent!! Def the full package," Lambert tweeted.

And the "Whataya Want From Me" singer didn't stop before congratulating competitors Casey James and Andrew Garcia as well. "Casey is def the real deal. Authentic. Andrew Garcia's too," he added.

While each of the contestants has their own strengths, Hall and Lambert come from the same musical-theater background. Lambert brought his performance experience from the Los Angeles cast of "Wicked" to "American Idol." On the other hand, Hall, a 24-year-old "actor/playwright" from Arlington, Texas, acted beside "Idol" winner Fantasia Barrino in Oprah Winfrey's "The Color Purple" and was part of the Disney World productions of "High School Musical 2" and "Beauty and the Beast."

Lambert's Twitter support is also a bit nostalgic, considering "Idol" alumni like Kelly Clarkson joined Team Lambert last year.

Season-five finalist Chris Daughtry also put in his two cents about the men on Twitter, simply writing, "Ouch...that's all," after Wednesday night's live-performance show.

Lambert's opinion on Hall didn't quite match our top 12 men's report card. Instead, James' acoustic version of Bryan Adams' "Heaven" put him on top. We voted Hall's take on Kelly Clarkson's "Since U Been Gone" as satisfactory, but the kid showed guts.
