Green Day Does Adam Lambert
Adam Lambert better watch his back because he’s got some stiff competition! At a gig in Manchester this week, Green Day’s lead singer Billie Joe Armstrong planted a big kiss on one adoring male fan. Kudos goes to the rock star for throwing caution to the wind and just going for it. I bet that fan was so shocked that it actually happened and incredibly happy once it all sunk in. Of course, I would have chosen someone else like Adam Levine or any of the guys in Kings of Leon but that’s just me. But just for Billie Joe’s actions, Green Day has found its way back to the list of my favorite bands.
Absentee American Idols Talk Finale
It’s been almost a week since we saw Lee DeWyze get crowned as the new American Idol and saw Simon Cowell bid farewell. In celebration of the judge’s departure, contestants from previous seasons sang a big tribute. There were some noticeable faces missing from the line up though, including season 7 champ David Cook and last year’s runner up Adam Lambert. Apparently, glam rocker Adam didn’t get an invitation to perform and was battling a case of laryngitis so he opted to stay at home. As for David, he had a charity gig in Kansas City but he went on his Twitter to give his congrats to Lee and express his sadness for not being able to attend.
Adam Lambert Goes Platinum
Adam Lambert has been all over Europe promoting ‘For Your Entertainment’ and it seems to be paying off. ‘Whataya Want from Me’ has reached the top spot in Germany this week and recently went platinum in the US. The singer went on his Twitter to talk about it saying “Thank you so much for supporting me! I feel so f—-n lucky!” Congratulations Adam! Keep up the good work! Show everyone that you’re not just a passing trend. When the American Idol alum comes home, he will be playing shows all over the country as part of his Glam Nation tour.
Adam Lambert’s worthy stunt double
The American Idol contestant who almost took the cup last season recently admitted that he would find Leonardo DiCaprio to be a more than better choice to play him if there were ever a biographic movie with his name on it. This is what Adam Lambert said on the matter: “I have always thought that Leonardo DiCaprio is a really good actor – he could play me, he could get intense.” By the time Adam Lambert gets to that age and fame where such a movie might come as an idea, Leonardo DiCaprio will unfortunately be far less suited for that role. But the man can dream, can’t he?
Adam Lambert Isn’t Struggling
American Idol executive producer Ken Warwick seems to think that Adam Lambert is not doing so well in his career. However, the glam rock singer doesn’t seem to think so. At a post-show conference, Adam responded to the comments saying “It’s so sweet of him. I don’t feel like I’m struggling at all. I think things are right where they need to be. My single ‘What Do You Want From Me,’ is just breaking into the Top 10 right now. I’m really glad that they had me on the show. I really enjoyed helping the other contestants.” If you compare his career to how most AI alums have done, I say Adam’s doing just fine.
American Idol Does Elvis
It was American Idol Top 9 performance night part 2 last night after last week’s save of Michael Lynche. That means two aspiring singers will be booted off this week. It was Elvis Presley night and Adam Lambert was on hand as the mentor. Crystal Bowersox sang ‘Saved’. Andrew Garcia did ‘Hound Dog’. Tim Urban sang ‘Can’t Help Falling in Love’. ‘A Little Less Conversation’ came from Lee DeWyze’. Aaron Kelly did ‘Blue Suede Shoes’. Siobhan Magnus sang ‘Suspicious Minds’. We heard ‘In the Ghetto’ from Big Mike. Katie Stevens sang ‘Baby, What Do You Want Me to Do’. And finally, Casey James sang ‘Lawdy Miss Clawdy’. Who do you think will be going home?
Adam Lambert Talks Nasty Susan Boyle Comments
Adam Lambert admitted that his mean comments about Susan Boyle’s album were a little over the line saying “It came across a bit harsher than how it actually went down. But I’m not a fan of the record, it wasn’t a lie.” I think he should give the YouTube sensation a break. They are two completely different singers with two completely different fan bases. The American Idol alum may not be a fan but there are a lot of people who love Susan. He should be more understanding of the fact considering that not a lot of people like him either.
Adam Lambert admits drug issues in the past
Yet another example of the amazing people that American Idol has helped shape along the years… with Simon Cowell as head-judge, no less. The musical wonder of last year, Adam Lambert recently admitted that he has dabbled with fairy powder in the past. This is what he related on the matter: “It didn’t get to the stage where it ruined my life or where it was anything too serious but it was definitely something I tried. There are certain drugs out there that are really fun and recreational and can mean a good time. I’m not an advocate for drugs but it is all rock and roll and we are all adults.” The teachings of the Earl of Exigency prove invaluable once more… even to Adam Lambert. It’s all fun and games until somebody loses a record deal.
Ke$ha Talks Adam Lambert
Ke$ha recently put together a 34 song playlist at Songza.com to share what music she’s been grooving to. The 22-year old singer even left comments about each song that she put on the list. One of the songs in the playlist was Adam Lambert’s ‘Whataya Want from Me’. Ke$ha said about the song “My new boyfriend, Adam Lambert! I’m not trying to start any rumors; I just love him. We met a few days ago, and both of us had so much glitter on our faces that planets almost collided. I just think he’s fantastic, and I do have a crush!” Don’t worry dear. I doubt that you’re the American Idol alum’s type.
JLo Gets Bejewelled
Jennifer Lopez performed her classic hit ‘Waiting for Tonight’ for her Times Square Performance on New Year’s Eve in New York City. The 40-year old Latina singer suprised viewers by squeezing her curvaceous body into a skintight bejewelled body suit and a studded neck line. Are we sure that she’s the mother of twins? Damn! Hey Adam Lambert! JLo pushed a man’s head into her crotch and no one made a stink about it. Do you have anything to say about that? Oh well, it definitely beats seeing her fall in her performance again like she did in the AMAs.
Adam Lambert Back on ABC
After cancelling his performances on Good Morning America, Jimmy Kimmel Live and the network’s New Year’s Eve special, ABC has decided to make nice with Adam Lambert by inviting him over to perform on The View. The openly gay singer went on his Twitter to talk about it saying “Hey friends! I will be performing and hanging w the ladies of ABC’s The View Thursday the 10th!” Considering that the American Idol alum is part of Barbara Walters’ list of this year’s most fascinating people, maybe Adam can finally have a show on ABC with her backing. It would just suck for him if not.
Adam Lambert Wants to Sing for Twilight
If you haven’t figured it out yet after his Halloween costume of a vampire, Adam Lambert has a thing for the fanged creatures of the night. In a recent interview, the American Idol alum dropped a not so subtle hint that he has the perfect song for the ‘Twilight: Eclipse’ soundtrack. The openly gay singer told MTV news that his song ‘Suburban Decay’ is just what the movie needs. Adam said “It’s a great song and I hope to perform it someday, nad i think it will find a home, on a soundtrack or something…maybe ‘Twilight’. It just didn’t quite fit [in my album]. It’s very theatrical. Hey, ‘Eclipse’ … Want my song? It’s kind of about vampires.”
Adam Lambert Sort of Apologizes
Adam Lambert recently appeared on The Ellen DeGeneres Show and discussed his controversial performance at the American Music Awards. The openly gay singer expressed a bit of regret about it all, saying “I forgot that this was the first time people were seeing me on TV again after Idol…I think in hindsight, I look back on it and I go, ‘Okay, maybe that wasn’t the best first impression to make again or the first second impression.’” Ellen also made a great point during the interview saying that if you’re going to be offended by a sexual performance, we should be offended by all sexual performances. Preach!
CBS Explains Adam Lambert Brawl
Over a week after the American Music Awards and people are still talking about Adam Lambert’s sexually charged performance where the openly gay singer basically made out with his keyboardist Tommy Ratliff. On a segment during the CBS Early Show last week, the kiss was blurred out before showing unedited footage of Madonna and Britney Spears kissing at the MTV VMAs from a few years back. A rep for CBS has spoken up regarding the double standard, saying “We gave this some real thought. The Madonna image is very familiar and has appeared countless times including many times on morning television. The Adam Lambert image is a subject of great current controversy, has not been nearly as widely disseminated, and for all we know, may still lead to legal consequences.” I don’t buy it.
JLo Jokes About AMA Fall
Adam Lambert’s performance at the American Music Awards may have gotten more attention but some people are still talking about Jennifer Lopez’s fall on stage. While performing her new song, ‘Louboutins’, the singer fell on her booty when she jumped off a dancer’s back. However, the falling clip was edited out of the West coast feed and instead showed JLo jumping in slow motion and cut to her standing up. She’s ok with the little mishap though. JLo was on Ryan Seacrest’s radio show and joked about the incident saying “Did I trip a little bit? I don’t even remember. Yeah, I meant to do that. That was part of the choreography. The measure of things isn’t what happens when you fall, it’s how you recover when you fall.”
Adam Lambert is a Businessman
Adam Lambert shares the latest cover of Billboard magazine with his fellow American Idol alum, Kris Allen. In the accompanying interview to the cover, the 26-year old gay singer says that he considers himself a businessman, saying “I do consider myself part artist, part businessperson. I find marketing interesting, I find publicity interesting. I find the whole process interesting. I think there’s some artists that are really focused on the music and the artistry, but I also think being a showman and being an entertainer is more than just being a musician. It’s everything-it’s something to look at and to listen to.”
Kris Allen Video
American Idol champ Kris Allen recently debuted the music video for his single ‘Live Like We’re Dying’. The 24-year old singer told PopEater “It was cool because we actually shot it in the desert in L.A. in the middle of nowhere in this junkyard. I’m pulling the big cord through the junkyard…then I plug in the clock and it starts counting down to zero. It was my first video, so I was really trying to have a great time.” Kris’ self-titled debut album will be in stores next week, November 17, Tuesday. Unlike Adam Lambert, Kris’ debut seems to be doing well enough.
Adam Lambert a true credit to the system
It seems that Adam Lambert has really gone far-off with his career ever since he competed in American Idol… he didn’t even win first place, either. It seems that Adam Lambert has recently released a video for his song, “Time for Miracles”, which will actually be featured on the upcoming movie’s “2012” soundtrack. Really smooth for Adam Lambert… new album, soundtrack songs, the guy has really done great. Simon Cowell must be very, very proud… while twisting his moustache and pondering world-domination scenarios. Adam Lambert really is a true product of American Idol and an inspiration to future generations of music-industry front-line workers. The system salutes him!
Adam Lambert Talks Album Cover
After receiving some harsh criticism after he unveiled his gender-bending album cover, American Idol alum Adam Lambert took to his Twitter to let everyone know what he thinks and giving no apologies. The singer tweeted “Thank you to those who appreciate and understand that the album cover is deliberately campy. It’s an omage to the past. It IS ridiculous. For those that don’t get it: oh well… Glad to have gotten your attention.” He gets an A for effort on spelling “homage” without the h. I for one love the album cover. I just hope the rest of his music is as fabulous.
American Idol Reunion at AMAs
This year’s American Music Awards might as well be touted as an American Idol reunion. Why? It just so happens that Kelly Clarkson, Carrie Underwood, Adam Lambert and Chris Daughtry’s band, Daughtry, are all scheduled to perform at the awards show on November 22nd. They would pretty much cover half of the performances on the show. And I can just guess that country singer Carrie will be racking up a couple of awards too. That’s quite an empire that Simon Cowell and the rest of them have built. Will you be tuning in to see that Idols on the show?
