This is an oldie but a goodie.

Adam Lambert performed “Ring Of Fire” at  Party City’s Annual Halloween Industry Awards party on 10/24/09.  There were reports and photos of the event, but no official video of the performance.

Now, Party City has released Adam’s performance of the iconic Johnny Cash tune on You Tube. Check it out after the jump…

Kind of fun to compare then to now, isn’t it?

Video after the JUMP…

    Me either haha.
    I did notice a little lisp every now and then lol.
    Not much of one though, he sounded amazing I think!
    I love the fangs too!

  • TexasWannaHoldEm

    I love this! It’s fun to see the evolution of Adam, especially when we thought he was perfection at the beginning. Emo hair used to be my favorite, but now I’m lovin’ pompadour. Also cute when he gestures to turn the backing track up. Guess they didn’t pick up on the cue, so he says “Turn that track up!” during the song. Way to be in charge, BB!

    haha he has never been shy about getting the techies to make adjustments during a performance

  • GreenHippo

    hmmm, lovin’ me some glampire!!

    haha I still can’t believe he was able to sing that with fangs in lol

    There are some real good temp caps, one can have to put over your canines, they are hardly noticable…. oooop, have some! LOL

  • mr

    Shit- I just came in to complain about an especially annoying/boring date- and found myself laying back in my chair stunned by this sexy glampire… actually I was alternately entranced and giggling- every time those fangs made his “s”s sound like “th”s- hahahahahaha…

    Oh bb- always so sensual and seductive… and that VOICE… I can go to sleep a content woman :-)

  • Levine

    He’s perfect for True Blood…He’s betterer than all those vampires add together….

  • mr

    Oh- and longer version of ROF FTW!!!!! Yeah!!! I wish he sang the full 3 minutes in the GNT… but I’m just greedy, hehe

  • BestAI

    I may have seen that shirt he’s wearing in the pic somewhere before.

  • baebae

    I love True Blood. He’d make a perfect vampire. That sings his victims into a hypnotic state. ;)

  • KayGee

    His hands are whiter than his arms…must be the “glove” effect – LOL!!!

  • webster

    haha I still can’t believe he was able to sing that with fangs in lol

    That’s what I was thinking. I guess that explains why there are not more vampires burning up the charts.

  • Miss Chaos

    There are no words for a lisping singing vampire! With a great voice, and sexy, with white hands. Do vampires have white hands? Is that another clue for a vampire.?

  • TXsunshine

    That is one sexy vampire. Love how he takes charge with sound guys. Certainly was a sexy performance , the moves, the hands, hot .

  • sr4mjc

    This will never not be hilarious. Vampire ROF FTW!!

  • milwlovesadam

    So true, so true, we may have seen that shirt in the picture once or twice!! Fangs, must be on True Blood! He’s sexier than most of the guys on that show. Love, love True Blood!

  • JazzRocks

    Love the fangs & super sexy vocal. I just wish he had been more costumey.

  • adamisthemanfan

    haha I just knew there would be a thread about this! Truly an epic performance :) )) dont know why they r posting videos from this event now…must be some promotional shtick the party city peeps have up their sleeves…so yeah the lisping is hilarious but man oh man that voice! He just owns that song in a way unlike any other…truly one of the best vocals Ive heard from him.

  • weareallinnocent

    Yeah, that was pretty hilarious, yet so good! :-) It was really hard not to laugh watching him sing with fangs and vampire pointy hair. LOL

    But, I too loved the longer live version. I think that’s a first and only, isn’t it? We have the studio but not a longer live, right?

    Yay for today’s AFL history lesson. ;-)

  • baebae

    I just watched the video now, couldn’t view it at work. That was fantastic! I want to invite him to my next Halloween party. :)

  • OhMyRawrrr

    Party City has another exclusive Adam video coming out 8/3 – woohoo go Party City!! :D Who’da thunk it – lol

    I don’t think I’ll ever tire of hearing him sing Ring of Fire – LOVE IT!

  • Esqt

    Oh.my.god. I’m bleet red. I think this is the first time I watched a video of him with my eyes closed. :lol: :lol:

    *wipe tears* love the uninhibited,carefree Adam.

  • smeggingnuts

    But, I too loved the longer live version. I think that’s a first and only, isn’t it? We have the studio but not a longer live, right?

    Yeah this is the only full live version of him singing ROF

    “”A: Oh yeah. Of course. And lots of rhinestones.

    ^^From the AZ Central interview
    LOL–that quote is SOOO Adam!!

    On the mobile version of that interview,next to a picture if him in super-tight pants,they said “click to enlarge”…I don’t think I need to say anything else ;)

  • cwm

    Ok now THAT was fun! What a fantastic vocal– even with the fangs. Too funny.

    Thanks for posting this MJ!

  • tls62

    Ahhh…the memories of last Halloween. Does everybody remember Kris tweeting he loved Halloween…and then Adam’s reply tweet?? :)

    Thanks for finding this smeggs….I couldn’t watch it at work when you posted it this morning. Damn IT Nazi’s. :(

    Seriously…who is sexier in fangs with a lisp than AFL??

  • kradamour

    Thud. Don’t think I have ever posted “thud” before but there just isn’t anything else. Visual very campy and fun but…audio…thud. Need to turn this into an mp3. Amazing vocal. Loved the hand movements. Damn.

  • jammasta

    Seems like every time Adam does something, he does both something I absolutely LOVE and something I kinda hate.

    Hate: What’s with the picture? He kinda has the douche-y pouty lip thing going on.

    Love: GLAMPIRE. I love his rendition of Ring of Fire. His first performance of it really defined him. I personally hated his first performance, but at the same time, I hated it to a point where it intrigued me, and I think that’s the perfect place for him to be. I feel like I’m passive-aggressively bashing him right now, but I honestly like where Adam is. He dares to be different and pulls it off. And this time it’s so freaking weird that it’s awesome.

    Either way, I want Adam to come back to Sacramento SO BADLY I could die. That concert was easily the highlight of my summer :) .

  • Anmor

    Kradamour, Agree with you about the hand movements, but I love all his moves in this song.

  • http://mjsbigblog.com/luvadamlamberts-american-idol-tour-2009-washington-dc-re-cap.htm luvadamlambert

    Holy Crap, that was INCREDIBLLE!!

  • cumulus

    I LOVED his Idol ROF from the first few notes and this one is awesome as well. I haven’t heard anyone do Egyptian like Adam. And now we have Egyptian Vampire, lol. I think this was the event that was so mysterious last year. Believe we knew he was performing for some private event and had a few pix, but that was about all. Somehow I thought he had a long coat on in the pix that were released, but apparently not, unless there was another Halloween performance. I definitely remember there were fangs involved, tho! Great to see the whole thing now, finally. Note to self: buy all party stuff from Party City! I bet they have glow sticks . . .
