Adam Lambert, Megan Joy, Matt Giraud and Anoop Desai take a break from rehearsal to chat with AccessHollywood.comà ¢Ã¢â€š ¬Ã¢â€ž ¢s Laura Saltman about their upcoming tour. Plus, Adam talks about his solo album.

Adam is excited for his set-closer, a Bowie medley that modernizes three of his favorite Bowie songs. Also be on the lookout for Adam’s special jacket that he describes as “be-spangled be-studded and be-leathered.”

On his upcoming album, Adam says the sound will incorporate classic rock, but be current and modern at the same time. Linda Perry, RedOne, Greg Wells, Kara DioGuardi are the collaborators he mentions that are part of a “really cool lineup of amazing songwriters and producers.”

Megan is very excited to be singing Amy Winehouse’s, “Tears Dry on their Own”, but promises not to have an Amy-like meltdown afterward.

Matt and Anoop don’t mind that the boys bus will be crowded, they plan to get out and enjoy the tour stops when they can.

Video after the JUMP…

    Seems like the Idols are as excited for the tour as the fans are. I hope they can keep up the camaraderie and the enthusiasm, because it’s going to be a long hot summer …

    Adam is always “on”. Sounds like he’s full speed ahead on the album. And Amy Winehouse seems like a really good match for Megan Joy.

  • girlygirl

    There’s also another video interview with Kris and Allison (among others) on the Access Hollywood site.

    I’m intrigued about Megan doing the Amy Winehouse song — that seems like a good match for her quirky style/voice.

  • SpleegsKeegs02

    Great choice Megan! Shes gonna rock it!

  • CRB

    I hope Megan is more relaxed on the tour he Regis & Kelly performance was way better than her show performances. She needs to loosen up.

  • Sunn

    Never mind, a silly post.

  • nuttin2lose

    laura want a kiss fom Adam. lol

  • isisdagmar

    That Amy Winehouse song could be really good for Megan. She sounded really good in her audition, if I remember correctly–if she could always sound like that, she’d be nice to listen to.

    Bowie medley…so good.

  • xuziqueue

    Saltman is way too over the top for Adam – can barely squeeze in a question for Megan. Fortunately, Megan takes it all in stride. Adam is very coy at times – love his playfulness. Makes me laugh.

    Buderschnookie – Thanks for the link. Glad to see that Adam dispels a couple of rumors – especially about the Glee cameo. Ain’t happenin’ – at least not yet.

  • ravengirl

    Life on Mars, Fame, Let’s Dance in Adam’s Bowie medley

    Ooh!!! :clap_tb:

  • elw

    Poor Megan Joy, Laura is just so into Adam. From now on when they interview him nobody else should be in the interview, he’s too much of a star already and it makes the rest look like amateurs.

  • hollygo9

    does Adam have Kate Gosslin hair or is that just a bad bad picture?

  • karenw

    Fantastic news that Life on Mars is part of the Bowie medley

    .. I also think that Amy Winehouse is a good choice for Megan

  • YankeeFan08

    Actually hollygo9, I think Adam’s hair looks great as always. Maybe Kate Gosslin wants Adam Lambert hair!

  • Chicagolaw

    Love that Adam wants a band out on stage with him when performing live. And I love that he isn’t trying to be a “male Lady GaGa.”

  • Tess

    These interviews are not meant to be fair and equitable….and what do you ask Megan and Anoop and Matt that hasn’t been asked and answered a million times. They don’t have contracts, aren’t recording, and aren’t real talkative and forthcoming. I am sure that Laura tried hard to get some good responses.

    So the poor guy editing the interviews for publication is now stuck with 3 people who aren’t real interesting and a fourth who says all the right things, interviews well, is a wealth of information, and the listening public wants to hear. Wonder what ends up on the finished tape?

  • dflowers

    I have a solution for the over crowding on the boys bus. Let Adam and Kris (the “safe” ones) bunk with the girls! Problem solved. :tongue_wink_ee:

  • hwc

    Tess:

    If I hear you right, you are saying that Adam has the “it” factor. At least they tried to mix it up a bit having Adam carry Meghan in an interview. I wish they would split up the Anoop/Matt pairing. There isn’t a whiff of chemistry in those interviews. Maybe have the guys take turns interviewing with Lil Rounds and Allison or something.

    OMG!! Life On Mars is my favourite song evaaaah!! I so hoped he’s sing it someday.
    Please let there be a video of the performance and an MP3 audio.

  • girlygirl

    Ok, this might be my favorite Kris & Adam joint interview, as they talk about their “bromance”. Kris is such a tease!

  • snuffles

    Fantastic choice Megan!!! I LOVE “Tears Dry On My Own”!! Between this and her love of Bjork, girl has FANTASTIC taste in music!

  • AC

    Omg, I love the Anoop and Matt pairings!

  • isisdagmar

    Girlygirl: that interview…so much win. Adam looks so delightedly boyish when Kris puts his arm around him–their friendship really is lovely.

  • Mary102

    Buderschnookie – Thanks for the link. Glad to see that Adam dispels a couple of rumors – especially about the Glee cameo. Ainà ¢Ã¢â€š ¬Ã¢â€ž ¢t happeninà ¢Ã¢â€š ¬Ã¢â€ž ¢ – at least not yet.

    That’s a bummer. I really hope, though, that this idea got peeps thinking (ahem – 19/Fox) and that they’ll make it happen. Fox is all about the cross-promotion (hence AI with Glee to begin with), and Adam would be perfect in a cameo on that show (say, as the lead singer in a rival group!) Plus, it could air right before the album drops in the fall!

    Very happy to hear about the Bowie medley songs! That will be great! I feel like we know all but one of Adam’s tour songs now (and I’m guessing the last one will be another Idol song – fingers crossed that it’s either WLL or BoW (I would DIE if I saw him perform WLL live :jittery_tb:)

  • lilbrusc102

    Good to know which songs are in the Bowie medley! Great choices! I think Laura Saltman’s Adam interviews are always cute.

    “Tears Dry on Their Own” is an A-mazing choice for Megan. I hope she does a great job with it!

    Ha, I like the Anoop/Matt pairing….they’re both kinda sarcastic and are always teasing each other.

  • LisaE

    Ok, this might be my favorite Kris & Adam joint interview, as they talk about their à ¢Ã¢â€š ¬Ã…“bromanceà ¢Ã¢â€š ¬ .

    Ugh. I’m over the “bromance.” Don’t get me wrong, I love their friendship. It’s wonderful to see. But some people (not necessarily those here) have taken it to icky extremes and Adam is clearly uncomfortable every time people talk about the so-called “crush.” As Adam said in the Seacrest interview after Ryan harped on it annoyingly, “Hey, I’m also a singer!” There is a line, and I personally feel that a lot of people have crossed it (read the YouTube comments!) and are venturing into uncomfortable territory by projecting their personal fantasies onto these guys. Sending feathers to glam Kris up was cute. Sending earphones so they can cuddle, not so cute.

    LOVE the Bowie songs, and the idea of bringing up the band!

  • Is786idol

    Hey, girlygirl, I checked that link for the tvguidemagazine interview of adam and kris but it says that it has been removed. Is there another link?

  • dsp

    ok the tv guide video has been removed SO Disappointed I wasn’t quick enough!!!! I say NO MORE GAY questions to adam its getting Old

  • LeeTravers

    Agree – the gay questions and comments from these dopey interviewers – including the slimy Ryan – have gotta go – really getting old and annoying. Great how Adam keeps his cool and Kris has his back. Two terrific guys.

  • girlygirl

    Yeah I saw the video got removed. Maybe it’s still up on the tvguidemagazine site?

    The audio wasn’t synched up well, so maybe they just took it down to try and fix that?

  • girlygirl

    The TV Guide interview with Kris & Adam is back up. The audio still isn’t synched up real well, though. Oh well, it’s still a fun interview.

  • Tess

    Thinking about the tour just reminded me about Adam’s interview not to long ago when he was talking about fan gifts and the tour. I remember that he specifically asked that fans not “gift” him because he has way to many accessories as it is and that they donate money instead to their favorite charity. I was thinking how nice it would be if fans did this for all the idols. Just handed them a nice card indicating that X dollars had been donated in their name to such and such charity.

  • Kilroy

    dsp, here’s another link for that TV Guide thing. Too bad about the audio still doesn’t sync.

    That is going to rock. And that jacket he has on is fierce. I can’t wait to see the tour jacket.

  • agathe.hb
  • Calliope

    Oh yay, Megan and Adam! My original fave (yup, I was a Megan fan until she showed her lack of musical instincts) and the one who ended up being the first Idol I ever cared about post-show.

    I still really like Megan and look forward to seeing her sing songs she wants to sing (her inexperience really showed).

  • Susan M.

    Does Adam not turn ANY entertainment reporter into a blathering fangirl? What is up with that? Don’t answer that, because I already know. I’ve interviewed and met many celebrities, but if I was doing entertainment right now? I would FEAR having to interview Adam because I know I’d be ridiculous. I think I’d be less freaked by Obama, Pitt and Clooney (all at once) these days.

  • mahrikka

    Love the Amy Winehouse song for Megan. it’s perfect for her! I think there are going to be lots of very good surprises, and i can’t wait.

    I’m so excited about the Bowie medley…and, of course, the jacket! I really like fun Friday news.

  • flicker

    Yay! More Matt and Anoop! What sweeties!

    I’m really glad to hear that Megan is singing Amy Winehouse – that should be a great fit for her. There’s something about her that I really like.

  • suebrody

    I think Matt and Anoop together are great, except…that they don’t have a record deal and seem a bit uncertain about next steps. So Laura didn’t really have a lot to talk to them about (and yes, she was totally fantarding on Adam).

    Megan Amy Whinehouse = sweet music

  • bean99

    I just wanted Adam to shut the hell up. Poor Megan got one question. I love seeing Anoop & Matt. They seem to be good friends and are too cute.

  • twinkle

    did anyone else notice the “WTF?” face that megan was making when the interviewer was going on and on about her hoped-for bicurious moment with adam? it was pretty funny.
