Adam Lambert – Clips from the Warwick Saint Album Shoot – VIDEO

Ooh, we almost got the elusive SHIRTLESS Adam, but the camera didn’t pan down. Drat.

What, no Michelin Man?

Thanks for posting this! As we always say, what a beautiful man, dressed up or dressed down. (Though I like his hair down better than up)

Adam is adorable. I love that video!!! How cool! Nice musical choices too.

I love the “clothed” Adam. Especially when it’s all black leather (FYE). The people around him can be clothes-less but keep our boy in leather and lace?? Much more intriguing, sexy and mysterious.

I never liked to watch things like how they made a movie…all the tricks, etc. but for some reason I love all the Adam background stuff. Shows us so much of his off-stage personality.

The link below also includes a commentary that Warwick Saint gives along with the video clips that were made of the shoot. It was interesting to read that Sony and Warwick Saint were not happy those pictures we saw of this shoot in the summer were leaked. (maybe he means the Michelon man picture/comments ??)

I wonder if as the head photographer he took the heat for the leak as it was probably one of his “staff” who provided the leather jacket and Michelon look twicpics. He still seems quite “sore/defensive” about the leak/comments.
Anyway, obviously those comments about that picture did not deter Adam from choosing that Michelon pic for his album; he said it worked for the theme they had. And those of us who bought the album will have that and the other pictures for posterity.

hah, Adam was adorable in the last part of the video.

MJ — that shirt photo has been around since around since the photoshoot happened — it says F#C SKULLS. It made a bit of noice on Twitter in November until people found out what it was.

This T is from Future Hereticsa — actually fairly common on the Westside of LA. Link for more info from the designer’s show last March: http://blogs.laweekly.com/style_council/beauty/fashion-week-diary-day-2-boxei/

Interesting the photographer calls Adam a” huge superstar”. I am always amazed how photogenic Adam is. No wonder he is asked to do so many photoshoots; fortunately they are pretty lucrative.

I think his shirt was supposed to say PLUCK!

Yes, and he has gotten some covers which are even better.

Also, I think that Adam will do some kind of cross-over to film or TV at some point. He is very effective live — even not singing.

Rob Marshall really wants to work with Adam, and I think by the time he is ready to make another film, Adam will be ready too. I hope the timing is right for both of them. Marshall received many awards, including an Oscar, for Chicago. His current movie, “Nine” is being touted as his best yet.

There was another director who wanted to work with Adam, but I can’t remember his name.

Love the commentary from Warwick Saint. Interesting that Sony “freaked” over the leaked pics and the negative feedback. They must have really freaked, then, with all the “outrage” over the cover.

Haha, I thouhgt the leaked Michelin man photo was hilarious… Adam gets a lot of harsh comments but he has certainly given us lots of enternainment.

Don’t worry Sony!

I’m still hoping for a guest spot on Glee!

Would love to see him in movies- but first- INTERNATIONAL TOUR!!!!!

About the photo shoot- I hate to say it, but some of those photos aren’t so great…

While I actually like both the album cover and michelin man photo- they’re purrrty (and the FYE single cover- with the badass ring- very hot)- I have to say that some of the other photos make him look really wierd- especially those two where he’s pursing his lips and kinda looks like a duck!

Sorry bb!!! I still love ya!

And btw, even when I don’t like something he does- I never get “offended” or “angry” at him like I’ve seen some peeps… because really, why take it so seriously? Most of what he does is amazing anyway, so I don’t even have to face any dilemma usually

it was Jasen kaplan the makeup artist

I can totally see this happening. Adam was born to be on the big screen!
As a matter of fact, I remember making a similar comment to my husband midway through the Idol season. It didn’t take long to realize this guy’s potential.

LOL I have to agree with you here. There ARE a couple of “duck” pictures & I can’t understand why he chose them. They don’t even look like him.
There are a gazillion fantastic pics of him around – he’s super-photogenic. Yet he picked those for the album. LOL again.

I LOOOVE the duck pictures!

Great! But you agree they’re ducky, right?
I just opened the CD to look at the pics again, and that one where he’s wearing spikes and making that face… ha! I’m rolling laughing here…

I usually love the weird pictures the most. They are beautiful and it’s refreshing that not everything is obout sexiness.

Love the unusual pictures. How many people can pull off such true art.

mr…I thought the same thing about the “duck” picture. Who the hell would have picked this one? It’s a caricature of him actually. Although I’ll bet Adam had a say in it. Maybe he saw the rough cuts….The eyes are the best, though…always are. And of course the music is the only thing that is important…plucking fantastic.

quack LOL

I love it that it’s not always so serious. I think it’s a healthy thing in the music biz.

I agree saga (even though I’m not fond of the ducky look). Adam loves to have fun!

I love most of the pics that are included with the CD and the book that came with the AO Collector’s Edition. Adam is so photogenic and almost always looks amazing. The “pensive with ripped jacket”, the “blowing kiss” and the “tongue to mirror” are my favorite pics.

Like some of the rest of you my least favorite pics from the CD are the one with the spikes which I still like because of how intense his eyes look and other “duck” pic which I like because he looks like such a glampire in it even though he doesn’t look like himself.

The one pic I have not found something to like about yet is the black & white pic form the Collector’s Edition book where he is looking in the mirror. When I look at that one all I can think is “What was he thinking?” when he chose that. Considering how much I love most of the pics I guess its a pretty good ratio that I don’t appreciate 1 of 16.

I know this is OT but did we ever find out who directed the WWFM music video? I was hoping it was the guy, I think someone said his name was Ray Kay, that did FYE. I thought we’d have more tweets and leaks about the shoot by now!

I love all the pics but I have one question – what is the point to use that castle?

I really hope the same guy directed WDYWFM as directed FYE…it was done so well, much better than the TFM mv.

There was another director who wanted to work with Adam, but I can’t remember his name.

Was it tim burton?

The actors that tweeted were not sure who the director was (huh?). Someone said it was a woman. I think TFM was a really cheap MV, just done to promote the video. Probably not a top notch MV director?

The TFM director is Wayne Isham. He’s well known, mostly for rock like “In My Life”/Bon Jovi, but also did really pop stuff like NSYNC and Ricky Martin’s “Livin La Vida Loca.” He did Kelly Clarkson’s life/suck song. Maybe he’s not so good with CGI? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wayne_Isham

Actually, I think the downfall of the TFM video was the lack of continuity for Adam’s bangs. It was very distracting seeing the bangs and hair part wander from shot to shot when it was supposed to be continuous. So it’s smart that Adam’s been keeping the hair UP for FYE and, it appears, for WWFM.

FYE vid is still in the top ten on itunes, #7.

I love the sequined pants picture. Seriously, is anyone looking at his face in that one? He says he doesn’t have a good butt, but I disagree!

Aww, I love the last part of the video (.56) when Adam was asked about working with Warwick. He was so playful. (“Amazing, amazing, amazing…”)

Thanks saga (wink)

Thanks to Twitter and obsessed fans who are severely in need of a life, two DJs tonight have been cemented in the “Glamberts are nuts” camp:

GLAMbert fans harassing ME too – it’s a lil much! RT @karsonkennedy Oh darn. RT @suebrody1 U lost listeners b/c U refuse 2 play Adam Lambert

I suspect the next Twitter message will be something along the lines of “Play Adam or I’ll hold my breath until I turn blue.” I really don’t think Adam is doing so poorly that it’s time to take the scorched earth approach and alienate otherwise neutral DJs…

Adam passed 280k followers on twitter…

Just wanted to clarify that while I’m not crazy about the “duck” pictures, I’m not hating on them! They just make me laugh out loud is all… And laughing is good, I guess

And lol uglyduck- don’t take it personally!

Counting down the days till Gridlock…

LOL nice to know that you’re not hating on the ‘duck’ mr

Tonight’s Christmas Eve, right?

I’d like to wish all my Christian fellow posters a Merry Christmas!!!

Merry Christmas mr!!! Happy Holidays to all of you. May 2010 be the best year ever.

@Lazyc0w – “Was it Tim Burton?”

It was Rob Marshall (Chicago, Memoirs of a Geisha, Nine, Pirates of the Carribean: On Stranger Tides).

Here’s his quote: “Now that you’ve worked with Fergie, is there another pop artist you’d like to direct in a film?
I think Adam Lambert is an incredibly talented guy, and I’d like to work with him very much. He comes from musicals and theater, so I have this feeling he’ll have a big career past the pop world, and that’s exciting. Because I see how he works ‘” he works as an actor when he sings.”

The rumour is that Rob Marshall wants to do Jesus Christ Superstar next and is eyeing Adam Lambert as either Jesus or Judas. He’s leaning toward Judas though because he says Judas’ role is a bit jucier and has more vocal kick – which he thinks Adam can handily pull off.

OMG – would love love love that! I have a lot of respect for Rob Marshall after what he did with Chicago. This would be a dream come true

LOL, uglyduck. I think it is safe to say that none of the posters in this thread were hating on the “duck” nor the “duck” pics and no one called them ugly. They are pics of a very beautiful person after all.

Even on those rare occasions when the “duck” takes a less than flattering picture he is still beautiful and the “duck” pics are not unflattering. They are just different from the smiling pics we are used to seeing.

nah…it’s not a duck. it’s more of a swan.

It’s a black swan.

MERRY CHRISTMAS, EVERYONE.

CONGRATULATIONS, MJ. Thank you for everything.

Yes to this! – Adam has said in past interviews he loves the Judas solo in JCSS I would pay big bucks for that – movie, DVD, Cast Album… Wow May all our wishes come true!
