Part 2

 
  • Truthiness

    Still sucks that it’s the runner up stuff. blah. I swear I’m working towards acceptance. I swear!

    Oh well, Adam looks great! Is a sweetheart and I really do hope that he has a good career. I think it could be a tough sell for him, so his winning would have been helpful. But oh well, not to be. *grumble, still hate Arkansas grumble*

  • borntobeadam

    It’s a Mad World.

    Adam, you’ve got a Whole Lotta Love and you can clearly see the Tracks of our Tears. We Can’t Get No Satisfaction! If We Can’t Have You, We Don’t Want Nobody, Baby. We’re not Feelin’ Good right this minute, we’re Cryin’. But things are never Black and White and we’re already deep in this Ring of Fire for you. You were Born to be Wild and believe One thing, A Change is Gonna Come.

  • ahorseofcourse

    borntobeadam….That’s is AWESOME!

  • http://justaddbooks.blogspot.com/ maree

    I’m working on acceptance, too. Just not very well. But he’ll be signed, surely. They’d be bonkers not to.

  • borntobeadam

    Adamà ¯ ¼Ã…’you stole the whole nightà ¯ ¼Ã…’the whole season.

    When you sing with KISS and QUEEN ,i just wow.

    “is he a contestant?”i asked my friend.

    “NO,he IS a super star.”

    And the result is so ironic.

    America,you dont have a taste in music or

    you just vote someone like you?

    Adam,you are too good to win idol.

    RE:American Idol=American idiot.

  • terps

    He is my idol, I’m going to let racism, ignourance, and Christian fanatics take that away from me!!!

  • linsav

    Adam is the best. *grumble, am so glad I moved out of Louisiana, don’t even get me started on Arkansas, grumble*

    A class act all the way. I am impatiently waiting for that album…

  • adamlover

    im working on it as well. he is and will always be my favorite. i have never been more invested in a contestant as i was with him. i think he is just that special. if he isnt signed, that would be the most ridiciulous thing i ever heard, but stranger things have happened. i mean, he didnt win AI.

  • weareallinnocent

    I gotta be honest, I’m not really working on acceptance right now. LOL Soon, I hope, but not yet.

    borntobeadam, great note!

  • boofer

    There is no question he will be signed. The question is who wouldn’t sign him? You would be insane not to. He is going to have so many people begging to work with him he’s not going to know where to begin. I have this mixed emotion because I really wanted him to win. I feel like if there was an Idol competition over all eight seasons he was the best, hands down. However as someone else said he is TOO GOOD for AI. I’m glad he doesn’t have to release that shitty song and I think he genuinely is happy for Kris. Class act. Amazing. I don’t think I can ever watch this show again because I will always compare everyone to Adam and I don’t think anyone will ever bring the same level of excitement to the show that he brought this year. He made me spend too much damn time obsessing, now I can get back to my normal life!

  • http://justaddbooks.blogspot.com/ maree

    He made me spend too much damn time obsessing, now I can get back to my normal life!

    Me too. But I’m not ready for normal life just yet. What I want, what I really, really want, is a CD. Like …. now. That’d work for me.
    Oh well. We’ll always have YouTube … *sigh*

  • Stephen Garcia

    Oh my GAWD, does Gokey ALWAYS
    talk about himself when he talks about
    the other contestant?

    He did the same thing to “our” new
    Idol Kris Allen (Congratz to him and his
    fans)…

    It’s really creepy.

  • thedingoateyobaby

    Danny is all about Danny. He’s a bit of a narcissist I think.

  • glamadamfan

    Oh thank you so much for posting this. I was anxious to see how he was doing after the show. When he first came out, he looked a little sad, but he hid it so well as time went on and it was great to see how much his fans’ appreciation meant to him. And even more awesome to see both sets of parents together. Not just their sons made friends, but the parents too. How sweet.

    I can’t wait to see what Adam does in the future. I’d love if he sang with Queen once or twice, but would also love to see him do his own stuff too.

  • mac

    I gotta be honest, Ià ¢Ã¢â€š ¬Ã¢â€ž ¢m not really working on acceptance right now.

    Me neither. I still want to wallow in my misery. When I woke up this morning, the first thing I thought of was “OMG, was it really true that Adam lost last night?” Still can’t believe it. I have never been so shocked with an outcome from idol. I am going to be bitter all day today. Maybe I will work on acceptance tomorrow, or maybe the next day, or the next…..

  • LakesideUK

    Adam is a class act and no mistake.

    He’s my Idol and I *heart* him more than any other contestant that’s ever been on this silly show. :wub_tb:

    I’m not into making predictions – I’ll leave that to the dreamers and crystal ball owners ;) – but with his talent, passion and all around fabulousness I can’t imagine he’ll be wanting for work in the near future, or ever again!

    Good luck, Adam!

  • virgo03v

    wow… what a class act. Adam sooo deserved to win. I can’t wait to buy his album!!

  • iluvai

    What a great interview. I just love Adam. He is so talented and gracious! One class act. My eight year old cried last night and said she would never love another AI contestant again. Too painful! I think Adam stole the show last night. He was the star of the finale. Watching his fabulous performances I had a glimmer of hope that he would win. But I knew there was a lot of Kris momentum out there. I love Adam and I can’t wait to see what magic he will bring all of his fans in the future. Good luck Adam. Thank you for an amazing season on AI! It was a great, fantastic ride!!!!! XOXO

  • apaze1

    Thanks mj for posting this. All I can say is I can’t wait to see him and lil sis Allison in concert (got my tix already!). Then the new stuff he’ll put out! I am thankful he doesn’t have to sing that schlock “No Boundaries”, and he still has the top downloads of all the AI contestants, so in my book, that is more of a win than winning AI.

  • clearone

    He is such a class act. I love him, love him, love him!

    Are the rumours true I’m hearing about Queen being really interested in him? Talk about dreams coming true!

  • Victoria

    I’m not bothered by the fact he didn’t win. He made it to the Top 2 and he’s got a great career ahead of him, so it’s alright with me! And, if he had to lose, at least it was to Kris, who is also awesome :)

    On another note, does anyone know where I can watch these as something other than Dailymotion videos? They don’t work on my computer.

  • Chipmunk

    Adamà ¯ ¼Ã…’you stole the whole nightà ¯ ¼Ã…’the whole season.

    HE.WAS.THE.SEASON!!!!!

  • weareallinnocent

    Love him. Love his studio of A Change Is Gonna Come. It’s beautiful. Listening to it is bittersweet for me at this point though.

    And, I’m such a sap I also bought his studio of No Boundaries. I know, I know, but he sounds great, even though bandzilla and backup are ever present of course. That one’s pretty sad to hear him sing too. Cuz, ya know, apparently there are boundaries for my boy. :-(

    He’ll break them and bring that change about, I was just hoping for more last night…

    But kudos to Kris, total class act and top rate talent too. And yes, thankfully, Kris was on stage with Adam at the end and not someone else.

  • 4got

    Seabiscuit won AI but Adam is the star.

    Adam/ Allison finale would’ve been awesome with Queen.

  • http://www.irish-wolfhounds.com Buderschnookie

    I am thrilled that he doesn’t have to sing Karappy’s No Boundaries every day for the next nine months.
    I am hoping that he won’t be quite as closely held under 19M’s behavioral microscope as the winner might be.
    I am hoping that he will be more free to express himself musically and stylistically than he might have been as the winner.
    I am hoping that he gets great producers and co-writers to work with.
    I am hoping that the Sarver/Gokey contingent will enable a smooth tour bus experience.
    I am hoping he gets some cool designer endorsement opportunities.
    I am hoping he will be the first male featured in a makeup ad campaign.

    I am hoping every one of his dreams are realized without too much more struggle.
    I am hoping he finds a deep and abiding love in his life.

    And I am hoping that he never is driven to losing his friendly fabulousity by scum sucking paparazzi dogging his every move.

  • JP

    There is some serious male hotness in that vid with both Ace and Adam. Yowza!

    If Adam opened for Queen, or went on tour with them as their lead singer, I would so buy tickets to that concert…if I could afford them!!

  • EllieA

    Buderschnookie, Amen to everything you just said. I am trying to work on acceptance like everyone else, but it’s difficult. I really do like Kris, but I still feel like Adam was cheated out of the prize he rightfully earned. But I’m trying to believe not winning will be better for him in the long-term. And I hope he knows how many people love and support him and can’t wait for what he’ll do next!

  • Chrissy

    Congrats to Kris & his fans. BUT, I love some Adam Lambert! I think he will be fine & honestly, he made this whole season for me.

  • sonyab

    Stephen Garcia says Oh my GAWD, does Gokey ALWAYS
    talk about himself when he talks about
    the other contestant?
    ================================
    Huh?! :) No he didn’t. He didn’t talk about himself.

  • http://myspace.com/susanatfox sumidol

    Thank you thank you for posting this, I am feelin better now watching this, yes still a little “bittercakes” goin on with me, did I say yesterday I didnt care if Kris won? Well, I am just a damn liar, I am – it doesnt feel so good but seeing stuff like this enforces the feeling I have that this guy is going far, he is and he is an interviewers dream, he soooo well spoken funny and nice. They are all going to be clamoring for him , no aww shucks, crap from this one

    I am curious to see how Brandon Rogers is around Adam, Brandon was interviewing this fan of Adams last week and she said she likes how Adam sings high, and he made fun of Adam saying , yeah well he sings high like all the girls, they cut him off real quick and Justin and Kim were kinda stunned for a minute, those two always make fun of his tongue, should be an interesting interview anyways

  • http://www.myspace.com/gundomom CarieB

    Are the rumours true Ià ¢Ã¢â€š ¬Ã¢â€ž ¢m hearing about Queen being really interested in him?

    He is bigger than Queen. Just wait and see.

  • kat110

    I’m seriously trying to not be bitter. I’m trying to be a good person and to be happy for Kris. Because I did like Kris. But I LOVE and ADORE Adam and it’s hard. It’s hard to not feel a little bit of saddness. I was hoping it would go away but I woke up sad.

  • kijico3

    I want to quote ALL of your posts, I feel the same way, gawd it’s hard not to be sad today but I know I’m gonna be on the freakin computer all day checking the blogs, vids and just wishing it hadn’t turned into Arkansas Idol. Adam was too damn good for the show but at least it put him on the map and I thank it for that.

  • http://www.irish-wolfhounds.com Buderschnookie

    Arkansas Idol

    Glad it’s not just me thinkin’ that way.

    I know. :( I’m a little sad myself. I like Kris but he wasn’t one of my favorites and I wanted Lamby to win. :( *BEARHUGS*

  • Heart

    It’s been some consulation to hear radio morning jockeys praising Adam this morning and how he stole the Tuesday and Wednesday shows. But of course, they probably didn’t vote. I enjoy reading/watching people in the music industry praising Adam (over Kris & Danny) like Fergie & BEP, Queen, David Foster… Gosh – I’m drawing a blank (I’m tired), but he has an impressive list of supporters.

    I’m soooo disappointed that the majority of America didn’t vote for Adam. I think part of the problem is that in other parts of the country like Arkansas, there’s not a whole lot going on, and community ethic is a bigger deal there. In California, it’s a different lifestyle, and “everyone” is moving too fast to worry about the community.

    It pains me to read about Danny’s pastor begging for votes and making it about religion which is part of the reason why Kris won. I’m just glad that Kris won instead of Danny. If Danny was in the F2 and had won instead of Adam, I wouldn’t be sad for Adam and his fanbase, like I am now, I would be so angry!!

    On another note, does anyone know where I can watch these as something other than Dailymotion videos? They donà ¢Ã¢â€š ¬Ã¢â€ž ¢t work on my computer.

    Oh wow. This is great!!! Nice job there!!

  • rockvixen

    Interesting how much producers edit auditions. Simon saying theatrical yet not current lol and he was pimping Adam all along.

    Adam is such a classy guy and he’s on to bigger brighter things! Can’t wait for his cd and a concert!

  • borntobeadam

    I thought its a singing competition.

    But apparently its not.

    maybe next time we choose our idol based on his hometown or
    religion or soul or whatever.

    OH,yes,the idol should NOT be different.should be like us.

    yeah~~that’s American idol!

  • Heart

    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ehzEY7cgMvg

    I had read this “Immediately after the Show Press” Interview, but watching Adam talking about everything and answering the “you lost because you’re gay” question was all kinds of awesome.

    I love how he handles the press and makes it all about the music and the bond that he and Kris share. (PS: Adam, you look killer in that Cavalli jacket. Most handsomest Idol ever!)

    It would NOT have been this way if Gokey was on the Final 2. Even the morning DJs were saying that Lionel Ritchie was getting annoyed with Gokey when he tried to take over the duet. Although, I will admit to liking the way Gokey’s voice sounds a little bit.

    This video really made me feel better. Adam is way better than the Show.

  • Cheetara86

    Adam on Ryan’s radio show on KISSfm. Click on Adam’s name on the right.

    He has to touch up his hair every two weeks because the blond hair grows in very fast.

    Dadam thinks Adam’s cooler now even though they’ve always been really supportative. Dadam had to help out with paying his (Adam’s) bills when he was in his low to mid 20′s when he didn’t have enough money. Adam is happy that he able to pay them back and hopefully now be “safe” (monetary wise).

    I read somewhere that Adam was asked by the girl DJ if he had someone special to celebrate with and Adam said “maaaaaybeeee” very coyly. Don’t know since it’s not on this clip

  • naomit

    adam, i will buy you album first when it come out. i have been in canada for ten years, and i only brought 2 album in the first year…

  • borntobeadam

    On Queen – reporter asked if Queen has offered him a job.
    Adam – “I think there’s some interest. That would be really wild – yeah.”
    Reporter – “In other words, they made you an offer but you don’t want to reveal it yet.”
    Adam – “Um, I’m pleading the 5th on that one.” (laughs)

    OH! MY BOY!

  • monleo1705

    Ità ¢Ã¢â€š ¬Ã¢â€ž ¢s a Mad World.

    haha…..you forgot Play the funky music….but i guess you wouldn’t know where to insert that in for this type of mood huh…

  • http://twitter.com/nokking nokking

    thanks MJ for posting this especially because we don’t get Idol Extra here.

    Also working on acceptance here LOL I’m not too sad though the real work begins right about now and Adam will do amazing.

  • http://yahoo.com fabybaby3

    Adam is the real winner. Because of last night I realize how many small & narrow minded people watch American Idol. Unfortunatelythat means the final outcome will never be based solely on talent and performance but by what type of box that particular voter can put you in. That is if you can fit in with all of their preconceived notions and predjudice…I guess some people forgot the old addage, 3′s a crowd. I won’t waste my time watching AI anymore but will of course loyally back Adam in whatever music undertaking he see’s fit to participate in! For me there is no Kris only ADAM.

  • http://yahoo.com fabybaby3

    OK, I feel better now that I’ve vented and then watched some of Adam’s after-the-finale interviews. He is such an amazing person. I Thank American Idol for giving us such a gifted performer and embracing his “beyond belief” talent. He makes me want to be a better person. I work with a ministry that helps homeless individuals. Adams outlook on life and looking for the common ground between individuals serves as a life’s lesson when finding a way to help those in need. You are indeed the American Idol of a Lifetime. Thanks Adam for the best American Idol Season EVER!!!!!

  • revcat

    Despite being gifted with an incredible voice and, Adam at age 26 was still waiting for his big break (being an understudy in the touring company of Wicked was good experience, but definitely not the pinnacle of his dream!). I wanted him to win Idol very badly, was even a little obsessed, but hey, he seems to be doing just fine, so I think fans should take a cue from Lambert and get over it! Adam is now famous world wide, has some fantastic offers coming in, and will have more control over his immediate career without the iron clad contract that the “crown” requires. There is no way you can make the voting process fair…blase Californians probably hurt Allison’s chances too, but, hey, like Adam her name is out there and I think she’s gonna make it big time too! Its all good – I can’t wait to see what he does. I have no idea what he will do, but I’m sure it will be interesting. Kris won as fair and square as this contest can be as there is no way in the world to limit it to one person one vote, so kudos and good luck to him as well. Besides, I’m sure lots of Adam fans power voted as well!

  • oddobserver

    I still feel bad for Adam, but it’s encouraging to see him being so positive after the interview. One thing’s for sure, it’s gonna be hard to top Adam in future seasons.

    How do I love thee, Adam? Let me count the ways…
    Love his style, love his attitude, love his singing, love his personality…
    Countless ways!

    Look forward to hearing your music, and hearing news of you soon!
    GOOD LUCK ADAM!!

  • Anastasia72071

    Buderschnookie, I echo every “hope” that you listed there. I would also add that I hope he never ever EVER loses sight of or faith in his dreams, and I hope that he realizes & never forgets how many people all over the world have fallen in love with him and cannot wait to see & hear what he does from this point onwards.

    Welcome to the first stage of the rest of your life, Adam. You are the Cosmic Alchemist. Go forth amongst the stars and spin dust into pure gold (or platinum, as the case may be, hehe).

  • AA foreva

    The first day I was just numb with tears behind my eyes, today I am so SAD!! Even with the videos and the knowledge that he is better off in second, it is just so wrong on so many levels, if this truly was a SINGING talent contest. The Kiss/Queen performances were like Adam’s own concert, in fact I was wishing Kris (who was off key) did not even have a part in the Queen song. Brian May kept looking at Adam with excitement in his eyes. I would have loved Adam’s interpretation of the whole song because when he started his part, I got chills and thought, “Freddie is back.” As far as Gene Simmons comment that Adam isn’t a rock star…..hmmmm jealousy maybe. Adam was THE ROCK STAR!! And boy did he look terrific. So I am sitting at my computer, looking at the blogs, trying to get past this travesty and get some kind of life back. I really am not going to watch Idol next year after this fiasco. Besides, I have already seen the best.

  • http://absinthedreamers.blogspot.com/ Starrlight

    “Those boots are mine!”

    I don’t doubt that for a moment, Adam. And bless you for making music that was FUN!
