Adam Lambert and Katy Perry at the   Michael Jackson, “This is It” premier in Los Angeles, where Adam’s video for “Time For Miracles” is set to premiere before the movie.

I’ve added more photos of Adam, Katy Perry, David Cook, Nigel Lythgoe, and Paula Abdul

Watch this space for more photos.

Photos after the JUMP…

  • CathyMK

    They make a cute couple, LOL.

    MJ, are you going to include David Cook’s red carpet appearance in this thread, or give him his own thread, since he also has a new song tonight?

  • Suzanne

    since he also has a new song tonight?

    what do you mean? does he have a song on the soundtrack also?

  • IndyMuse

    He has a new song, debuted on ESPN2 tonite in a montage. It was one of the ones we got snippets of a few weeks back, but this is the whole song.

  • Maria22

    I LOVE the hair, the outfit, the smile, the whole look in this one :)

  • Truthiness

    MJ, are you going to include David Cook’s red carpet appearance in this thread, or give him his own thread, since he also has a new song tonight?

    I totally think David and his photos and new song should get a new thread!

    oh and unsticky the adam album cover. uhem. But where was I yes, David’s new song at the very least deserves it’s on place. Not to mention the pictures of him rocking that Dickensenian scarf.

    Oh and did you know Michael Sarver is going to get a country single released? he is! He Twittered it and not even in an emo way, swears!

    Anyhew, Adam looks much better here, and he and Katy make a cute couple. Yes I know they’re friends, doesn’t mean you can’t look cute togther. Not sold 100% on Adam’s hair, but am okay with the all black outfit and the degree of formality he had. It was not too formal and went very well with Katy’s look, the degree of formality she had and of course, the colour.

  • mandabutter

    Yay, she looks really good. Who’s that guy she’s with??
    Just kidding, glad he’s getting use out of that jacket. Nice hair! More pics pleeeeez… :)

  • AnninSD

    I caught the TII Live Streem and saw the interviews on the Red Carpet with Katy Perry and then Adam Lambert (and then David Cook).

    First the Interviewer talked to Katy and she really plugged Adam’s Album right off the bat, said she was there because she came with Adam and then she spoke about admiring Michael Jackson’s contributions to music, live shows, etc.

    Second the Interviewer asked Adam some great questions – He never mentioned American Idol at all and only asked about Adam Style in relation to Michael Jackson’s and how his hair is always different/great…and led the way specifically requesting when the album will come out.
    Adam said very nice, intelligent things about Michael Jackson. Very comfortable out there.

    Then…David Cook comes on and right away it’s ‘David from American idol” ¦

    Big Difference in the way he treated David and Adam.

    ‘“ way cool spot for Adam

  • LVanna

    Wow, what a gorgeous pic! They almost look like brother/sister with the dark hair and blue eyes. Nice black outfits, just.wow!!!

  • aa618892

    I love how supportive Katy is of Adam. Maybe she will drop him once she sees his album cover though.

  • mandabutter

    “not even in an emo way, swears!” –Haaahaaaa, too funny.

  • unique28v

    That is a great picture of them! I can’t wait to see the TII movie this weekend.

  • becausehelives

    They are both beautiful people. And Adam keeps it real. we have seen that jacket a number of times now and he doesn’t care. Love him to pieces.

  • ladymadonna

    The red carpet interviews with Adam and Dave that aired on MTV and VH1 both included American Idol references (they asked Adam about his Black or White performance, and Cook about Billie Jean).

    Waiting for a high res recording to show up, but for now here is a ghetto-style ESPN baseball montage with the new song (One Second to Change Your Life). The ESPN anchor said that Cook and his band tracked the song last night and shipped it over to ESPN for use in the montage. At the end they mention that the song was written about a professional athlete, but didn’t give details.

  • dyg1

    Adam looked gorgeous and so articulate in the interviews.

  • dragonus456

    new DCTA song?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!!!

    What does it matter if they brought up idol to them or not really

  • ladymadonna

    Can’t edit my post above – the new song was written by David Cook and Zac Maloy.

    On the interview I saw the guy never brought up AI to Adam at all.

    I saw both streams and both mentioned them being idols when they appeared. But they didn’t ask them about idol in those, I think the questions were about how MJ inspired them. And in another Cook one the guy asked him about being a new artist and his tour. Not many questions, but still good to see them.
    Oh, and the interviewer asked David about being new in the industry and how his life had changed and getting those mics on his face, and he said he didn’t mind, if he didn’t want it he wouldn’t have signed up to this. LOL Which reminded me of the discussion we were having today.

  • Keel

    The ESPN anchor said that Cook and his band tracked the song last night and shipped it over to ESPN for use in the montage.

    What?!? My god, his schedule is insane!

    He was taping Carrie’s Holiday Special last Friday(?) night, flew out to Indiana the same night for the EM:HE auction, helped freaking build a house on Sunday (looking good in a hard hat, I might add), flew to Kansas City for the Springsteen concert yesterday (we thought), somehow fit in time to track a song to send to ESPN, flew back to Indiana today for the house reveal and to meet the family, and then flew to LA this afternoon (with acrobatic airplane landing) for the TII premiere.

    Glad he got this break from the tour so he could rest up. :P

  • Elspeth

    I saw all the vids and pics and they were ALL Gorgeous! whewwwww

    I agree but…well..Adam looks…um..constipated in his close up to me. But him and Katy…way cool. Insta-friends. It seems on Idol she decided she liked him and that he would be her friend. Apparently Katy is ‘get what she wants” kinda girl.

    and I will call him squishy. And he will be my squishy

  • http://www.youtube.com/user/Valilac1 VAlilac

    The last time Adam performed in the Nokia theater was at the Idol Finale. I wonder what’s going through his head tonight as he watches himself on the big screen?

  • star

    Adam and Katy, how fun! :D They’re a stunning pair!

  • Izzie2

    Seems the wind was messing with DC’s hairdo. But still looks amazing. And did I miss a stop in his work week? He and his band tracked the song last night? How did that happen? Wow…what a week.

  • Truthiness

    The ESPN anchor said that Cook and his band tracked the song last night and shipped it over to ESPN for use in the montage.

    Phew! that means this isn’t a real song from David from his new album. Because no offense, I found it really kind of obvious and done. Not a bad song, just a really very ‘sounds like a million other song,’ songs.

    But hey, Cook produced that in short order specifically for this, so not on the album, good! I want to like David Cook’s music as much as I like him, thus far this isn’t happening after AI, but I have hope still!

    Oh and the pictures with him and Nigel Lythgoe were cute. Ignoring the hair. As I said in the headlines thread, not sure how I feel about Adam’s hair, but not feeling David’s hair and I was defending it earlier. Still like him and his charming scarf. Maybe he and Adam can trade Dickensenian scarf tips?

    I still want my Lambert/Cook interactions, because why the hell not?

  • mrfab828

    im sad about the picture on adam’s album, to ease my sadness i just keep on looking at his picture with katy they look good together.

  • adamlover

    adam looks stunning..and they do look beautiful together!!!

  • fearbear

    Adam looks like a star. I’m not a fan but Katy looks so pretty! Wow, David Cook looks even more horrible than usual, those bangs are out of control, yuck.

  • CathyMK

    SpenserJ, I think we could forgive a few hair jokes tonight!

    Adam looks like Billie Joe Armstrong in a few of those photos, particularly the close-up.

  • MelP75

    I used to think David Cook was sexy when he was on Idol but wow he looks really gross in these pictures. What is up with his hair? I’m hoping it was raining and he wasn’t sweaty. Ick.

  • Truthiness

    It seems on Idol she decided she liked him and that he would be her friend. Apparently Katy is ‘get what she wants’  kinda girl.

    Adam and Katy knew each other before AI. So her being with Adam now, is just a continuation of that. Not that Katy got to decide she liked Adam from AI and got herself a toy.

  • wordnerdarchie

    I posted this in the headlines, but until MJ get’s the new thread up, I’ll post it here too. ESPN2′s high quality video of the montage featuring David Cook’s song:

    Adam & Katy must have coordinated their outfits. They look great, very young star-ish. Nice of her to plug his album.

    I wonder if we’ll get any info on the movie trailer.

  • joyceanna

    I was just trying to figure out what studs Adam was wearing. They are not the usual black studs..look like a zodiac configuration..Anyone?

    Holy Hotness….so much pretty.

    ETA: whoops, that comment did not include DC. Sorry can’t get past the hair!

  • adamisthemanfan

    thanks for posting more pictures mj…
    I love Paula’s dress and shoes…she looks really pretty…and David C looks like hes lost a lot of weight, but he looks good…so has Adam..he looks awesome…Cant wait for the AMA’s
    good night peeps.

  • SpenserJ

    SpenserJ, I think we could forgive a few hair jokes tonight!

    LOL – it’s taking a ton of restraint with the wind bowing the comb-over like my grandpa’s!

    Actually, my only comment about Cook’s looks tonight is that he really looks content and relaxed. Life must be treating him well.

  • AnninSD

    David Cook red carpet…I see he was sporting the Locktopus today

    Funny LOL

    And to be fair Adam is looking a little ‘shagadillick’

    Windy for Adam, Sweaty for David…meh on the hair.

    But that photo of Adam and Katy – perfection!

  • dragonus456

    Adam looked horrible, Cook is looking good.

    IMO

    Don’t dish on DC people come on..

  • BeckyMD
  • claudette

    Adam and Katy look so hot and so good together. I hope it erases the cover memory from my brain.

    So excited for a new Cook song. He sure has been busy. He’s so cute too. I wish Cook and Adam would tour together. (But, now I’m a big fan of Adam and Katy)

    These are wireimage pics. Other pics are better of all involved.

  • suebrody

    I laugh, but that pic is like, This is it (Katy pointing to Adam). lol

    On UStream, the guy did not mention Idol (I’m sure) when speaking to Adam, but did to Cook. However, they did on the televised program. What surprised me is that Adam’s TfM video was not mentioned, but of course this was mj’s night.

    I lol’d at Cook’s tweet. Natch. Lots of tweets back. ;)

    I am not going to get into who said what when where. I will just say that Adam and Katy (Kadam) make a very cute couple–she could not have been more complimentary of Adam–and it was great to see Cook as well (loved the way his hair and his scarf blew in the wind). And THIS is the Adam I love so very much. Classy and handsome, as Paula would say. Scruffy hair (but purposely), no make up (or little), black jacket and TIE (yummy). Quite the contrast between this and the movie cover (but that has its own thread. ha ha ha.)

    VAlilac, I also said that in the last thread that it must have been very surreal for Adam. Boy has his life changed in the past six months. I can’t even imagine…how exciting.

    New Cook song? WOOT!!! Want to hear it! Off to see montage.

  • SashaB
  • CathyMK

    Izzie2:

    “And did I miss a stop in his work week? He and his band tracked the song last night? How did that happen?”

    I’ve been trying to figure that out too. AFAIK, David was in Indiana and/or KC, Andy and Monty were in Texas, Neal was in LA, and Kyle was in an undisclosed location. Did they all record their parts separately, in whatever studio was closest?

  • SpenserJ

    So excited for a new Cook song.

    I haven’t gone to listen to it yet, but I’m curious about this song. Is this something he did a long time ago? Or, is this a song he’s trying out for his second album? I know some of you Cookies will know this answer :)

    It is nice that the ESPN guys give Cook some love. And, he sure got it to them quickly.

  • Studio57

    Cook has his own thread

    It’s a song that didn’t make the cut for the album.

    Hair aside (not that I have that much of a problem with it lol) I like Cook’s look. I don’t remember him wearing a scarf before, and it looks great there with the shirt.
    Katy and Paula look really pretty. Adam has a really cute expression in that face picture.

  • suebrody

    I didn’t actually like the song very much. :( But hey, it was Cook! Painful to see my Boston Red Sox get eliminated, so maybe that was part of it ;)

    “I kissed a girl, just to try it, hope my boyfriend don’t mind it…”

    Adam Lambert, er, no, Katy Perry. See, THIS is what they have in common. Their kinship over girls. :)

    ETA: Too many threads today, too much posting. My head hurts. :(

  • Garnetstar

    Ha Good ‘ol MJ’s. Hey yeah. David looks like he has lost some weight. Like his outfit. Causal and hip. Like the little touches with the scarf and belt. Sorry for the fashion moment. Hmmm not a lot of “stars” showed up for this. Unless I haven’t seen all the people listed. Cause Ashley Tisdale? Seriously? LOL Not offense to Ashley fans.

  • SashaB

    Uh, this is the “This Is It’ thread, no?

    Paula looks good. Nice to see Nygel. AI wasn’t the same without him. And David Cook’s skin looks awesome.

    Aw, I love how David was there.

  • IdolThoughts

    Adam and Katy look amazing. I stared at their outfits for what seemed like days. They look perfect! David Cook looks great too. His clothes fit him so well! Yum! The hair is not so good, but I don’t want to harp on it because number one…it was a super windy day in Cali today and secondly…he just doesn’t have a great head of hair to work with. He’s still very attractive to me though!

  • Sherena

    What a gorgeous couple. Tall, shapely, black haired, blue eyed, and beautiful, the both of them. A tad too… dare I say… orange skinned, though. And Katy seems a bit more reserved than usual. But I love the pics regardless.

    *** When I first read comments on this event elsewhere, I kept thinking that it was about Adam and Katy ALLEN and I was so confused.

  • BeckyMD

    Adam and Katy are gorgeous together. David is cool. Paula is pretty.

    I think Adam is less comfortable or less used to the big scene than the other three. Way to go Adam.

  • Keel

    Or, is this a song he’s trying out for his second album? I know some of you Cookies will know this answer.

    I believe this was a discard from the first album. We heard a snippet of this song a number of weeks ago when his publishing company (Cherry Lane) accidentally posted the songs (30s snippets) on their website and promptly pulled them again on the same day. Cherry Lane licenses their artists’ songs on TV programs, commercials and the like, so the speculation is that DC’s song ending up on ESPN is Cherry Lane’s doing. But that’s only speculation.

  • SpenserJ

    Katy and Paula look really pretty.

    They really do. Paula may be a bit of a nutter, but year after year, she still looks fabulous to me.

    And, I think that pic of Katy w/Adam may be the prettiest picture I’ve ever seen of her. Surrounded by all of that black, she really does look stunning. I wonder how many times the two of them checked themselves out together in the mirror before they left. LOL

  • Elspeth

    Adam and Katy knew each other before AI. So her being with Adam now, is just a continuation of that. Not that Katy got to decide she liked Adam from AI and got herself a toy.

    I did not know this. I’m not sure how to look at it, then, given Adam’s history on AI. Perhaps there was a big stink about it that I missed? Regardless I was playing on the Finding Nemo Dory thing. As in..they’re cute together. She treats him like a close brother. Nothing wrong with that.

  • leome

    The Glee cast was there too! Finn (I don’t know his name) looked good. But I didn’t see Puck.

  • Mark

    Not usually a fashion person, but Adam and Katy look great together in the black, and Cook’s outfit is cool. Love that the much discussed hair is being a bit, ahem, mobile, though. (And I say that with endearment)

  • sidewalkstory

    Didn’t see this thread for my last post. Anyway, going down the block to the premiere now. Even though I have tickets, I hope the line isn’t too long. Will be here about ten minutes after the show ends if anyone is still up.

    It isn’t just your Red Sox crankiness, the song kind of sucks. But it has it’s own thread now, so we can bring it’s weaknesses over there now, yay!

    I did not know this. I’m not sure how to look at it, then, given Adam’s history on AI. Perhaps there was a big stink about it that I missed?

    Adam had a WeHo boy time and through things like Wicked, Upright Caberet and Zodiac, he has like one degree of separation to a ton of famous people. Katy though was closer to Adam than others, kind of friends of friends thought, but not real friends like Alisan or Danielle have been for Adam. No stink because why would there be? Yes, Katy stupidly put Adam’s name on her cape, but he didn’t know she was going to do that and had nothing to do with it. And she was musical guest star, not a judge.

    More currently and importanly, they looked really good together, I thought. The matching black hair and blue eyes and all black outfits, I approve.

  • star

    In one of the interviews Adam did at the beginning of AI, he only said he’d met Katy a couple of times through some mutual friends. But I think they’ve only gotten to know each other better and become friends themselves since AI ended; he’s said he texts her for advice a lot.

    David Cook red carpet segment from the stream:

    David really does look classy and gorgeous on the red carpet! Adam and Katy look like siblings!

    Then’ ¦David Cook comes on and right away it’s ‘David from American idol” ¦

    Cook won American Idol and got a lot of recognition for his idol performance of Billie Jean….more than any other idol who has performed a Michael Jackson song. Not really surprised about the idol reference.

    Phew! that means this isn’t a real song from David from his new album. Because no offense, I found it really kind of obvious and done.

    Same here. I liked the song’s opening and I thought his voice was just golden in the beginning, but after that it sort of went nowhere (he has much better songs on DCTR and Analog heart, IMO). This kind of song isn’t Cook’s usual theme but it works well with the montage, so maybe he wrote it specifically for that. And I just love the fact, that he gets so much ESPN love!

  • iluvai

    They look gorgeous together! I love the support they have for each other. One of my favorite suprises on AI was when she had the name “Adam Lambert” printed on her cape. It was validation that Adam was amazingly talented and admired by others in the business.

    All of the photos of Adam and Katy are beautiful!!!! He does love his women. :)

  • waffle

    I’m missing all the rubber bracelets on David’s wrist. And I wish he had a date to this thing. A picture with Katy Perry, or even Adam, would have also been nice. But bottom line – David was hot on the red carpet tonight! He was looking very stylish and confident! :)

  • Miss Chaos

    I wonder if Adam helped Katy put her eye makeup on, it looked real good. After seeing Adam in the red carpet shots, and looking back again at the Album cover, I like it more and more. Its just one style of Adam, something different we have never seen him look like. Always a surprise, I just love the cover, cant stop looking at it. Maybe thats why he used it, you know, getting people to stare at it, and suck them in.

  • Chicagolaw

    Is the interview with Katy posted anywhere?

  • sma11ie

    Nooooo Locktopus!!! Bahahaha, I even braced myself for this, but yikes! Awww, but DC looks soooo fricking hot EXCEPT FOR THE HAIR. Gahh, why, DC’s people/19M/whoever? Why do you get him on this crazy schedule and get him out on this high profile event, dress him so cute, and NOT fix the damn hair? Sorry, I’m pretty sure I snarked on DC’s hair about 80 times yesterday, so I was gonna go easy, but these pics leave me no choice!

    In other news, Adam’s hair looks good in some angles, and too spiky in others. Or maybe it was that pesky wind. Katy’s hair is gorgeous!

    Also, do we have any more vids of the red carpet interviews? Please? Thanks guys. Y’all rock.

  • progression

    Aw, Katy and Adam look almost like siblings there, don’t they? Adam needs to stop using Adrien Brody’s tanning salon though, lol.

    Love seeing David on the runway all casual rock stah. His confidence always shines through. Amazing he was able to make it given his schedule the past few days.

  • aga

    Cook is very stylish here.

    Sorry, I’m pretty sure I snarked on DC’s hair about 80 times yesterday, so I was gonna go easy, but these pics leave me no choice!

    I know! I was saying earlier that even I as a non-Cook stan didn’t think it was so bad and that his hair got a bad rep, essentially. But dude, these pictures were just made to taunt me for saying that, weren’t they? Agree about Adam’s hair as well. In some pictures I think it looks really cute, others, not so much. But after TsC, I’ll take it! and gladly. Plus Adam’s legs look so long and good in those pants. rwror.

    And Cook was looking pretty good (if boring) and Locktopus aside, with the rest of his outfit. I liked his and Adam’s belts.

  • tierbee

    Aww, with David’s schedule the past couple days I have to give him a *little* bit of a hair pass even though it makes me giggle a little. But honest it took me a while to make it that far north because I was distracted by chest, scarf, lips, ridiculous skin… then I get to the ol’ hair blowing in the wind. He does look so confident and relaxed; I like. Adam & Katy look great together, they do kinda look sibling-ish. Adam looks a little tangerine-y but otherwise cute. He’s got a lot of hair, lol, I didn’t notice that before. Must be so cool for him to get this moment!

  • 4Msrmyn

    Truthiness-I like your description of the Katy Perry cape incident when she performed on Top 3 results night. I think it was Adam that said they edited out the part that shows his name embroidered on the back of her cape from the tape.

    I almost think David is mocking us with the hair at this point. I love him dearly, and think he’s beautiful regardless, but the hair was completely out of control tonight. Everything else about him…perfection.

  • CindyM

    Paula looks really pretty. Adam and Katy look gorgeous together, very striking. David looks tired, must have been a busy day. His hair…is that front part across his forehead wet?? sweaty?? IDGI. He’s got some really tired eyes in that last one.

    Looks like they are all glad to be there, nice to get the invitation!

  • heartforadam

    I thought the same, Adam and Katy look cute together, not as dates. They look cute as siblings. Adorable.

  • suebrody

    Kadam, I tells ya. Kadam. They have a connection but they are not in LOVE with each other, they just have a fondness for one another. Remember, Adam has said that he has spoken to Katy about fame and staying grounded, so I think they have become friends. And Katy seemed so genuinely happy for Adam. My heart went thud thud.

    Oh, man, they really look adorable together. I need to put some of these tweet pics up on my wall.

    *** When I first read comments on this event elsewhere, I kept thinking that it was about Adam and Katy ALLEN and I was so confused.

    Now that would have been interesting.

    They could have such pretty, blonde babies!

    Which yeah, if Adam decides he wants kids, and if he decides to have them biologically, that will be interesting with his hair colour of choice and his possible baby’s natural hair colour. Of course genetically I always found it interesting that Adam had ginger hair, which is one of the most recessive hair colours, from his father when his mother has dark hair, dark hair being dominant. Ahh hair, what a continuing source of interest your non-simple dominance is. Ohh Oxford and hypotheses’s about red hair? I’m so there!

    LMAO I never saw rugs that look like that! The hair is bad but considering it sounds like he got off a plane shortly before the event even started I’m not so sure he had a whole lot of time to get hairstylist or spend a considerable amount of time fixing it *shrug*

    Any word on Adam’s music video before the documentary?

  • tierbee

    LOL at the rug comments for David. Come on now, does that really look like a rug? It’s the *Locktopus.* That’s all his. I would doubt he had a whole lot of time to do much with the hair since he was all over the place today. I’ll just concentrate on the face. I like.

    SparklesATL, at least for the Nokia premiere of TII, I don’t think that the TFM/2012 trailer or any trailers are being shown. Ann Powers is tweeting and only talks about Ortega introducing, etc. I’m confused – is the 2012 cross promotion actually happening before TII on regular movie screens?

    Is the Michael Jackson/Paul Anka “This is It” on itunes/high on billboard?

  • SparklesATL

    happycat14, I thought the video was supposed to debut tonight before the show.

    I don’t think anyone knows if they showed it before this premier or not. We’ve heard that it would be shown before the TII movie in theaters. They may not have shown it for this event though. Since it was the LA premiere, they may have done a special intro without trailers.

    We probably won’t know either way until the morning news cycle.

    Also…. the interview with Adam that is shown on several links doesn’t show the very first thing the interviewer says to Adam which is something like “congratulations on your succes on American Idol.”

    I think it was actually cool that the guy doing the interviewing specifically asked both David and Adam about the Michael Jackson songs they performed on Idol. Idol gave both these guys to us. Yea American Idol! :-)

  • May

    I’ve seen rugs that look better, tbh.

    Exactly, which is probably why he isn’t wearing a rug. It’s just his own hair. I find it interesting that so many people are so obsessed with his hair (fans and non-fans). I’m guessing that Cook probably just shakes his head over all the hair angst. This is a guy who grew up around a brother who suffered from real hair loss due a serious medical condition. That probably puts a lot of things in perspective for him.

  • evanjane

    Katy Perry isn’t quite as pretty as I thought. That close-up of Adam isn’t too cool either. LOL David Cook has been dealing with his hair issues for years now. I remember seeing a KC TV video of David Cook during the Idol tryouts. David had the mic and was singing LOAP. The wind was kicking up and I nearly went into shock. The hair on the right side of his head blew back and he was nearly bald. My love for Cook’s voice was strong so once I recovered from the sight, I was fine about it. The show’s hair stylists worked wonders. Windy days still give me concern for DC. But he’s still a good-looking guy with phenomenal skin and a terrific smile.

    Oh, and to Truthiness, I have very dark brown hair, nearly black. My husband is of Polish descent and was very blond as a boy. My son and daughter were both tow-heads. I have brown eyes. My husband has blue. My daughter is a blue-eyed blonde. The recessive gene came through big time. lol

  • ladymadonna

    Does anyone know if the Time for Miracles video aired, or is that only for the theatrical release? TFM was #75 on iTunes immediately before the red carpet show. Now it’s down to #84. The downward pressure is certainly the result of new music Tuesday releases, but if the song was part of the premiere and got press coverage, we should start to see it fighting its way upstream soon.

    Aw, no worries fearbear. Just joking with you. Cook’s never going to be a fashion plate and I’m sure he’s totally fine with leaving that to the people who are into it. As to the music, we all like what we like. Liking one musician doesn’t take anything away from another musician, IMO.

    We probably won’t know either way until the morning news cycle.”

    I just got home from the private viewing of “This is It” earlier tonight at the Regal Theatre in NYC. There were simultaneous viewings of MJ’s movie around the world. We were watching the red carpet events/interviews in NYC, although our view was of one woman interviewing.

    TFM was not shown before the movie tonight, nor were any 2012 trailers. Ortega announced the movie, then there was the standard legal warning about not copying, etc., then the movie started.

    The movie was an awesome documentary of MJ’s work. He was definitely in good enough shape to dance right along with the principle dancers. His voice sounded strong in parts too – in others he said he was trying to save his throat, and was a bit weaker. The production was incredible. The most memorable parts of the movie for me were his interactions with the crew – very caring, loving yet firm and demanding so the result was perfect. What an awesome man.

    BTW – Adam’s hair looked a complete, frizzy wreck on the massive screen we were watching. IDK what happened to it. His hair usually looks good. He also had not much makeup on, which was a different and nice look for him (if it weren’t for the frizzy hair!).

    Paula looked gorgeous.

  • ladymadonna

    Did TFM get press coverage today?

    I don’t know, that’s what I was asking. I thought it was supposed to be aired at the premiere, but maybe I got that wrong? Can anyone clarify if the video aired tonight, or is it not going to be screened until the film is in general release?

    Love the Adam-Katy pairing. They both look fantastic.

    Love the outfit on David. As for the hair, it’s been a long and unending discussion on that and I’d gotten used to the Locktopus. Although, I have to say for a guy who just stepped off a plane coming from the house reveal in Indiana for EM:HE, he looks great.

    “ETA: Thanks for the answer and recap J9BT!”

    NP. I was surprised it wasn’t aired, especially since Adam showed on the red “carpet ” (more like a painted red sidewalk with the glittery photo spots along the way!).

    In the interview I heard, the woman didn’t ask Adam any questions about his music, nor did he provide any information about TFM or his album release. She asked him what MJ meant to him, and he responded “freedom” – the freedom to do whatever he wanted in terms of genre (Adam quoted several genres for MJ’s music), dress and show. Adam had some of the best responses!

  • girlygirl

    Was there more than one screening of this documentary in L.A. tonight? Otherwise, how did Danny go — because he evidently wasn’t invited to the premiere that Adam and David were at.

    I’m confused

    The thunder belongs to MJ tonight.

    LOL at DC and Adam’s hair woes due to the wind. DC’s were more dire, but yeah, that damn wind did no one favors, except Katy Perry, whose hair looked fab in every photo. What product did she use? Spare the guys some next time?

    It was a really windy day here in LA- probably what happened to the hair.

    DC tweeted jokingly earlier about the pilots on his plane doing “acrobatic” landings. But I think he was partly serious. Must’ve been really bad.

    Well, unless it was going to garner a lot of press coverage in conjunction with the premiere, it’s better for driving sales of the single if the video airs as part of the theatrical release of This is It. Tonight was about MJ. I’m not really surprised they chose not to muddy the message with promo for a big-budget popcorn movie that’s not MJ-related.

  • J9BT

    “Was there more than one screening of this documentary in L.A. tonight? Otherwise, how did Danny go ‘” because he evidently wasn’t invited to the premiere that Adam and David were at.”

    I didn’t think so, but I guess I’m not sure. Ortega announced the movie was being shown simultaneously in 15 places around the world – various countries, and NYC and LA. On the live feed from LA we saw only the Nokia Theatre – no others – and I didn’t see Danny on any of the interviews. I know several movie theatres started showing the movie just after it finished with the premier, so maybe he went later??? Now you have me curious too, girlygirl!

  • Winks8

    girlygirl,
    Admitting I know nothin ’bout nothin here, but I’m guessing that Adam, David, and the other celebs were invited to be part of the premiere as in “walking the red carpet & being interviewed.” Probably also included special seats, etc.

    The Nokia is a huge venue and there were probably plenty of other folks who garnered tickes, like Danny and friends, who didn’t walk the red carpet.

    My guess is they were all at the same event, but I’m sure we’ll find out from reliable sources soon enough. :-)

    Agree totally with this. It would have been a mistake and even in poor taste (maybe) to advertise a big-budget disaster flick that had nothing to do w/ MJ, at this premiere.
    I am sure they will air the trailer at the remaining “This Is It” showings, right? I mean come on, they promised. If not, then give us a new single already!

    Good point! The red carpet activities started at around 7:30 p.m. EST (we were watching the live feed in NYC), and ended just before 9:00 p.m., so certainly not enough time for everyone to be interviewed/photographed on the red carpet. I didn’t see Ryan Seacrest, but I did see Cory Monteith and Kevin McHale from Glee (yay!), along with Paula, David Cook and Adam.

    Why is that Adam Lambert has a “date” with a girl, and David Cook is flying solo?

  • shenanigan

    Since everyone is talking about David Cook’s hair, I would like to clear up one thing. I was in the front row at the Lancaster concert, just feet away from David Cook. The wind was very strong, blowing every which way and definitely blowing his hair back away from his face. He has plenty of hair! It is just very fine and tends to clump together when wet or too much product is used.

    For the red carpet, I wish they would have just washed and blow dried it and let it blow in the wind, if they had time. It was very handsome in Lancaster, all fluffy and windblown. You could see his hairline, he has a high forehead but his hairline has not receded all that much. Again the wind blew his hair every which way and he looked beautiful as the pictures prove. Trying to sort of stick it down makes it look less than it is.

    yep, no adam on screen. the trailer was a little bit different than the very first one that leaked. adam sounded great in surround sound but it was honestly so fast that i doubt it really registered with people that it was him. it did say at the end “Time for Miracles performed by Adam Lambert” which was kinda neat to see on the big screen… but disappointing that we didnt get the video.

    i agree sidewalkstory, it was very intriguing. i loved hearing all of the songs and the stage production that went into some of them was absolutely stunning. it would have been an epic concert. i was also surprised at how funny parts of it were. MJ was QUITE the perfectionist!

    yeah he did a bit, but i thought that was one of the funnier elements. i LOVED when he was going up for a test ride on the cherry picker and he kept yelling at him to HOLD ON FOR SAFETY.

    oh and every time MJ said “this is why we rehearse” or “it’s all in love” or stopped to correct someone on some intsy minor detail. it was great. no one can argue that MJ had a vision and was meticulous when it came to executing that vision.

  • cher

    Finn, there was only a short clip of the movie trailer with bits of Adam singing, no Adam. What little you heard of his singing sounded amazing on the big screen though. I don’t think there was even 1 minute of the movie trailer. Adam sounded especially awesome at the very end of the trailer, all 10 seconds of him. haha. I thought they’d at least show a glimpse of his face.
    Otherwise the movie TII was very enjoyable. Excellent choreography. Michael sure was the “king” of pop. Would have been an incredible show. Sorry there were no clips of a full dress rehearsal. What a great loss of a truly wonderful performer. Adam’s peeps should try to get ahold of a couple of Michael’s backup singers and dancers for his concerts. Those guys and gals are fabulous, including that female guitarist Orianthi. His female backup singer Judith Hill is great. She sang at his funeral.

    Just got back from seeing MJ’s movie! ABSOLUTELY AMAZING! It is a must see movie on the big screen. My theatre totally messed up all the previews so we didn’t see any clips! BUT, MJ was fantastic! Don’t miss it. Disappointed in not seeing ADam but MJ was an entertaining genius. Puts the “wierd” comments into perspective. He was AMAZING!

  • alaadam

    WHO WAS MJ’S female guitarist??? She was the most awesome thing I have seen in a long time. ADAM grab her now!!!!

  • Keel

    I heard it was Orianthi. She was the guitarist that Carrie had during her Grammy performance, IIRC.

    Is this her? http://www.dailymotion.com/video/xa3rel_carrie-underwood-and-orianthi-last_music

    “WHO WAS MJ’S female guitarist???”

    forgot her name but there is a YouTube vid of her. will check tomorrow.

  • alaadam

    FEMALE GUITARIST was BADASS! OMG! Adam needs to grab her in a hurry! Move over big boys! The girl is in the house!!!

  • http://twitter.com/glamtwinkle twinkle

    yep Keel that was her. she was AMAZING. i think she might be a break out star from this movie. i like when MJ told her “this is your time to shine, and we are going to be right there with you”

    Ok its going back to the hair lol .I didnt like Adams or David Cook, But for David Cook its to much hair product makes his hair flat no body,and bad hair cut,and too dark of color,and bangs too long.With his fine hair he needs stiff hard, dry products.Or just washed really clean with nothing on it not even conditoner.
    Adams to spikey and pointed everywhere too much,maybe too short for him.,and didnt like the pointed thinner cut bangs.Hanging straight down his forhead His old hair cut and stlye much better,So he needs to let it grow out .but Adam’s hair was the dry look ,what David Cook needed, I wish i could get at David’s hair.I could make it look really good. He is lucky he has such a handsome face when having bad hair days. Yes it was windy,but still it needed help,and I would just love to style, cut ,color lighter ,and take some off of his bangs.I can do this all at my house :) I know its there hair bad or good ,but I just had to say it. So Sorry if anyone gets mad.But I think its all true !!!
    But one last thing there both Sexy as Hell!!!! even with there bad hair day.

    I absolutely adore this post, Susie! Now that’s what I call CONSTRUCTIVE critcism!

  • springboard

    Surprisingly, Cook’s looks seems more controversial than Adam’s here!

    I actually love it. Love both the seemingly under-dressed but stylish outfit and hair. Yes, I wrote hair..

  • susie26

    suenigma. Thank you very much . I care mostly for David Cook .I just want to help .I think he is a great singer ,and person,and I love his voice & music very much.Oh and he is very Sexy.

  • saga

    I thought the pictures of Adam and Katy were stunning, especially the one MJ has on the blog entry. I agree that Adam can look a bit artificial in some photos but overall I think he comes of very handsome.

    As for Cook, I don’t really see why the hair matters so much. He is a musician, not a model. Usually what strikes me in pictures of Cook is his eyes, they always look very kind.

  • oceana

    David Cook looked great on the red carpet, first time I’ve seen him in that kind of shirt and with a scarf, he looks sexy and suave. His hair looks fine in the tv interviews, he looks very handsome and happy.

    I wonder why Kris was not at the premiere? I can’t imagine that you would be too busy to pass it up – but judging from his last tweet, it appears he might have been :)

  • alxsavage

    The disappointing part: TFM trailer ‘“ it was the short clip that first leaked.

    Thanks for letting us know! I guess it was too good to be true.

  • spring2009

    OMG – if you go to @katyperry – there are tons of pictures of her recent birthday party – looks like a blast – Willy Wonka themed!!

  • Studio57

    I wonder if it will be a different trailer/mv at regular screenings? If not, oh well- at least his song will be out in a few short days

  • Miss Chaos

    So out of all this I gather that Adam’s hair should have been David’s hair and David’s hair should have been Adam’s hair, you know the important stuff!!!!

  • sma11ie

    Another vid covering the premiere here: http://cbs2.com/local/Michael.Jackson.This.2.1272965.html

    DC and Adam are the two super super brief celeb clips used near the beginning of the vid (it’s on the right side).

    Another pic of DC: http://twitpic.com/n8gb9

    Man o man – Adam and Katy, what a whole lotta pretty and Cook looked very nice, just more windblown than the other two but still nice. Cannot Wait to see this movie!

  • monte

    Danny was at the premiere but didn’t walk the red carpet. Danny was in LA for the new Sophia’s Heart Youth Center at the LA Dream Center. He sang at the media event at LA Dream Center and then hung around with Jason Kennedy from E. Looks like he ended up at the MJ premiere and also a madona charity event.

  • IdolThoughts

    Are there any pics of Cookie and Adam together? Because, ya know…that would just completely make my day.

  • spritely

    That or any and all David Cook related threads should just be labeled something like:

    ‘Adam Lambert, David Cook, David Cook’s Hair and More’  or

    ‘David Cook on Extreme Makeover: Home Edition, Featuring His Hair’ 

    I’m laughing so hard!!

    And from ESPN: “Coming up! David Cook’s new song and wait til you see his hair!”

    ETA: credit Keel for the funny

  • CindyM

    I wonder if the TFM video will be shown starting today. The original MTV and VH-1 articles stated this:

    ‘Starting October 28, fans can check out the ‘Time for Miracles’  music video on the big screen when a special extended ’2012′ ³/ ‘Time for Miracles’  trailer runs before screenings of ‘Michael Jackson’s This Is It.’  ‘ 

    Seems like for last night’s premiere showing, there was introduction by Kenny Ortega and red carpet shots instead of real previews and extended trailers? I guess we’ll see after today’s regular showings.

  • Anonymous

    OK – so definitely disappointed at the lack of TFM presence before TII. Now, why on earth did they spend the time and money (at least some of it) to actually create the mv? I don’t get it. Just to show it online on myspace? I don’t imagine it’s gonna be sent to MTV or VH1 (if they still show vids). I just don’t get it.

  • mayang

    adam kips on tweeting earlier. he just sed dat his upcoming single was written by dr luke… is he talking about his first single? now im confused…

  • Anonymous

    Um – David Cook IS the American Idol winner and Adam is not,so whats the big deal if they call David out on that and not Adam?

  • mayang

    he also mentioned a new song named soaked wriiten by his favorite band muse…. isnt it amazing… by the way, he sed thnks for the understanding… he is so sweet.

  • sma11ie

    Ok, I just watched the ustream and livestream vids, and I have to take back what I said a little bit about DC’s hair based on the photos. The locktopus looks pretty tragic in the still photos, but watching the vids, not so bad! He looked so good overall that I wasn’t distracted by the hair at all. Of course, he snarked on it a little himself, saying something about everyone trying to hold their hair down or whatever in reference to the wind, in that charming/self-deprecating way, but seriously, when you see the video, it’s not nearly as bad as in the photos. Those darn photos though!!

  • mayang

    gudnyt. im slipi. just check adams twit tom agen…

  • Destry

    MUSE!!!!!!!

    Seriously??!!!!
    Wow, a part of me just spontaneously combusted. Being an Adam fan sure makes you bounce between the lows and the highs really quickly!

  • cmc25

    Any video being produced on his soon to be released single?

  • IdolThoughts

    I prefer my Cookie to have hair like this http://i579.photobucket.com/albums/ss237/Dawn_15/David%20Cook/Cook_7.jpg or this http://i579.photobucket.com/albums/ss237/Dawn_15/David%20Cook/Cook_9.jpg or this http://i260.photobucket.com/albums/ii14/chois07/david%20cook/cook.jpg

    The shorter the better. He HAS hair…but the longer it gets, the flatter and stringier. It was super windy yesterday…he gets a pass. But, he needs a cut.

    SOMEONE PLEASE CONFIRM does the 2012 trailer shown before This Is It have the music video, partial music video, just movie w/some music or just movie?

    Anyone who’s been to ‘normal world’ showings, anyone?

    I can’t understand how all the press releases could have been incorrect?

    I’m dying to know

    This was discussed by at least three people who were at the show last night. It in the previous pages.

  • tierbee

    The shorter the better. He HAS hair’ ¦but the longer it gets, the flatter and stringier.

    Yes, I think he needs to embrace the forehead :) . Covering it up doesn’t work so well, his hair isn’t thick enough. I want to see that purty face anyway – embrace the forehead!!

  • sma11ie

    Why no full body shots of DC? Wanna see the footwear! Boo.

  • sma11ie

    Found a full body shot (heh) of DC: http://www.iesb.net/index.php?option=com_joomgallery&func=detail&id=1581&Itemid=99

    Still cute but slightly disappointed. Ugly snakeskin boots, and jeans that needed to be tighter. So just one DC/Adam pic? Sads..

  • Keel

    I’m not a fan of the ugly snakeskin boots either. Much preferred the iconic Elf Boots from last year. And, of course, the yet unphotographed unlaced boots from the Carrie taping.

    On the pantz, I am very, very, very disappointed that DC has the least tight pantz of anyone in his band (with the possible exception of Monty). He needs to take a page out of Neal’s playbook. Painted-on pantz.

  • GaGaGlambert

    …does the 2012 trailer shown before This Is It have the music video, partial music video, just movie w/some music or just movie?Anyone who’s been to ‘normal world’ showings, anyone?

    AnninSD, I attended a ‘normal world’ Wednesday afternoon showing and it was the short version of the 2012 trailer with Adam singing briefly. No, music video.

    how all the press releases could have been incorrect?I’m dying to know

    Me, too.

    i love cook but that hair HAS to go.

    Kyle & Andy have super tight pantz, too. Only Monty & David resist. Now, I did get a show with dressed up Dave in gray dress pants that were thigh-clingy and that was nice. But everyone else has quite the show of thighs. Hee!

    See what you did? I tried to behave about all the manly thighs on display at my last two shows and now… well, now I have to mention them. (BTW, Ryan Star also had on very tight pantz).

  • AnninSD

    GaGaGalmbert, Thanks!

    it’s too bad really – It would have been wonderful if the whole MV was shown – but at least they get to hear some of him singing. Maybe when they go to the website for 2012 they’ll check out the vid. Or IF they catch his name on the credits…look him up.
