Adam Lambert To Perform on the AMAs – The Ryan Seacrest Interview

DYING HERE, and so is half of Twitter… (Thank you, KISS 108 in Boston, for simulcasting Ryan’s show, tho listening to Miley was painful.)

MJ…you run an amazing site…and always on top of everything. Thanks.

I’m ready. Ryan just announced “more glitterizing”.

Present.

Just heard Ryan too! I’m so excited, my stomach’s upset…lol! Thanks, mj, for the new thread!! OMG!! 1 minute….here we goooooooo

The stars have aligned for me and I will be able to listen to the interview since my teacher wasn’t able to get here for this class. That combined with the library WiFi have allowed me to be ready to listen to the glittery being .

The station won’t load for me, the thingy has been going in circles for 5 minutes now. HELP!

Is there going to be a live video stream anywhere?

Listening on the iphone! Bring it on Ryan! And don’t be douchey..

YEA ADAM!!!!!!!!!!

Thank you mj, thank you.

Greetings from Malaysia!

I am following Ryan’s radio show right now…………just can’t wait to hear Adam’s voice!!!

Oh no, will. Maybe reboot your computer? Good luck!

I’m here, too. (waves)

Thanks, MJ!

Can’t wait to hear the Adam news. What a kool and sexy guy. That Adam is.

greetings GreatAdamFan

will, the adamcast is streaming it maybe better luck there?

This is going to be good!

Thanks, mj, for all of Adam’s fans who are on Twitter or here (okay, both, raising hand) who are flailing at the moment. And hi, GreatAdamFan. That is so cool! Sunn is listening to from waaay far away. Keep trying, will. That happened to me, too.

STOP WITH THE MUSIC AND GET TO THE INTERVIEW, RYAN. SERIOUSLY. NOW.

I’s here, braving streaming commercial radio to hear my boy!

Waitting for Adam Lambert!!!!!!!!!!

ok. hating on ryan right now.

(well, I guess not if he is havng to wait on HBIC.)

Listening to this station is painful….

oh brother, have to listen to one more song? arhhhh

Waiting with heart a-flutter!

Thanks everyone, it’s FIANLLY working!

He has to make us all go nuts, before we get all really excited.

Dear lord–my ears! My ears! Make it stop. I don’t care about your Baby Phat jeans.

STOP WITH THE MUSIC AND GET TO THE INTERVIEW, RYAN. SERIOUSLY. NOW.

Easy now, give will a chance to connect before rushing Ryan

ETA: seeing will is on board. Start the interview now, please

Ok where is he, I dont want to hear this stupid song, is he stuck in traffic somewhere, he should be delivered to where hes going in a Limo.

Oh hell, I can’t believe it, but I am here too! Thanks MJ, you know how to keep your inmates happy! Mwah!

I am soooooo not into the music they play on Ryans station..LOL!

Is this what it was like listening to Gokey on tour?

waiting…waiting…waiting…

So we are just getting music right now! What! Do they think we are interested in real music. Ha!! Don’t tell me we are going to have to sit here for an undetermined amount of time.

At least it’s good for “Will.” I couldn’t log on either but logged out and tried again, and it opened up right away.

Thanks sidewalkstory!

The anticipation for Adam’s interview is killing me what with the teasing Ryan was giving lol!

Hurry up Adam, wonder what’s keeping him to be on air?!!

Ok, pretending to work while listening to Ryan’s show (hope work stays at bay for just a little longer!)

Wow–now I understand why I listen to NPR almost exclusively. I want to stab my ears. Adam, I love you a Very Lot to sit here listening to this dreck.

After listening to this station for an hour, I now know why I listen to a Classic Rock station here…lol!

They sad he was on the phone on hold. At least from one of the twitters I read.

R we supposed to be hearing music??

How long is this stupid song?

How dare they put Adam on hold! I mean, who does that????

Just UGH to the music Ryan plays – if it can be called “music”.

No, I do NOT want to hear any more music, Ryan. I do NOT want to hear J-Zay. *sobbing*

Twitter is going DOWN after this if it’s good…

ETA: janus, lol Yep, this was the Tour for me, except for Matty G, I kept thinking, Top 4, come on, COME ON…

ugh. I may have to kill myself after listening to this. Is this really what Ryan’s station plays. I’ve never listened before. Adam better have some real news after this.

Longest. Song. Ever.

Raise your hand if you love MJ!

[hand raised]

After listening to this station for an hour, I now know why I listen to a Classic Rock station here’ ¦lol!

LOL, I know the feeling, it makes me remember why I don’t listen to radio at all.

Waiting…..waiting….Come on Ryan!

YAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAY!

Squeeeee!!!!!!

waiting……present and accounted for. Listening to these songs is slightly tortrous…here he IS!!!!

(((((((((ADAM))))))))))))))

HOT DAMN! He will perform live at the AMAs!

OMG

Yes!!! He’s performing!!!

HE’S GOING TO PERFORM AT THE AMA’S…

HIS UPCOMING SINGLE, YET TO BE DECIDED

Yet to be decided??????

What? Haven’t decided the new single!

Adam’s on air FIANLLY!!!!

FLAILLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

SQUEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

He’s performing his new single!! Wheee!

Still doesn’t know about what single well be released.

Not performing TFM!

omggggggggg
I hear him , I hear him. He’s performing yeah.

Yay~~~~ Adam performing

(i can’t open the link and miss the announcement live, damn)

no single title yet!!!! the pain, the pain

Yay!!! Performing! You were right guys.

(And yeah, raising my hand for the MJ love )

OMG performing his new single at the AMAs! I am nervous. His first song… I hope it’s good!

TFM Video Epic….Sweeeeeeeeet!

Something totally different-glammy!!! glittery!

Glamy single

OMG!! Did they just say performing TFM at the AMA’s?

ACKKKKK!!! DYINNNG!

Single = glammy, glitterier LOL!

Glitterier!!! Ha!!

EEEE!!! Okay, they’ve got me. I’ll be watching the AMAs to hear him perform his single…..and whoa that they haven’t decided which song is the single yet but it’s GLAMMY!!

Well, we’ve had a lot of teases and coyness and hedging … and then this announcement — just flat out and right off the bat. Amazing. Cool. Sounds like this is on the actual performance, as well, and not the pre-show. Cool.

Performing with fire – who woulda thunk!

Fire and costumes. I love Adam Lambert. I am gonna watch this year, lol.

Maybe he’ll finally get his flaming headdress!!

ott fire on the AMA performance!!!!!

fire again? O Adam

OMG! He said fire-like in a head-dress??

His first single “something entirely different” “glammy” and lots of fun onstage.. “over the top”

oh, another crappy song….

Hey, Idol360 says Ryan already made the announcement…

WTF? When?

OMG– I’m speechless

Uh-oh, he mentioned having fire on stage…

something over the top so Adam. That’s so fantasic.

Dancers, costumes, fire! Something really exciting and over the top. Will he get flaming headdress?

Wait, did he say fire?? Gotta hear on repeat.

dancers, costumes, glammy

be still, my heart

OTT performance at AMA’s !!!!!!!!

Fire?…Fiery Headdress!!!!!

What – first line I thought was: performing TFM at AMA – Did I hear wrong?

DANCERS!! GLITTER!!!

Hey, how did I miss this???

can we assume that he will be part of regular show and not the pre-show?

Dancers, Costumes, Fire Yippee!!!

Bravo MJ! You called it!
Is anybody else a little concerned with Adam’s obsession with fire? LOL! Don’t want the pretty singed.

no TFM on AMA- surprise single- GLamRock!!!

So well be getting the Adam everyone fell in love with. Sounds like something no one can miss. I bet the ratings well go throw the roof.

What ‘“ first line I thought was: performing TFM at AMA ‘“ Did I hear wrong?

I never thought that. Why would he do promotion for the movie instead of himself?

Yes, Mary, you heard wrong. It will not be TFM, but his yet to be decided glammy single.

I am so excited to see his performance. What a way to launch. OTT, so cool. Hope its just the pyrotechnics and not a flaming headress.
It seems there is more than one glammy song if they have not decided on the first single.

I’m listening to Ryan.. and yess’ ¦ he’s going to performing at the AMA’s

YEESSSSSS’ ¦ HE IS GOING TO PERFORMING HIS SINGLE’ ¦. I’M SHAKING NOW

And it’s going to be more than one body on stage… Yippeeee!!!

And We’re going to get a GLAM Single.. the song that he twitted from Cavallo’s studio..

Ok just to be clear he is going to perform on the show itself not the pre-show. Is this a first for the AMA. A performer on that is not nominated? MJ?

Well nice for Adam. Interesting of the AMAs to have a song they don’t even know the title, much less how popular it will be by the time of air, by a person who came in second, albeit on the most popular show in the US.

Well okay then. Stoked about Adam performing though. But NO FLAMING HEADRESSES!

Yes, it appeared he will part of the show –not preshow-he talked dancers, fire, and OTT!

can we assume that he will be part of regular show and not the pre-show?

I would say that’s a foregone conclusion. They don’t stage production numbers on the pre-show.

something over the top so Adam. That’s so fantasic.

OMG! Epic excitedness over AMA performance! Today is a beautiful day!

can we assume that he will be part of regular show and not the pre-show?

I would, because of the type of performance he gave a hint of.

Yes, part of the regular show! Fiyahhh!

OMG!! Did they just say performing TFM at the AMA’s?

No. He said he would be performing his first single which is NOT TFM.

can anyone put the announcement on youtube?

Uh-oh, he mentioned having fire on stage’ ¦”

Excellent. Maybe some fire dancers? If you’ve never seen fire dancing, it’s something to behold. My oldest daughter is a fire dancer. It’s amazingly beautiful to watch.

The single will probably already be released by the time of the AMA performance right? That isn’t until 11/22.

Ohhh…..the anticipation anxiety……and we still do not know what is the name of Adam’s first single – 19/RCA FAIL big time!

But one thing’s for sure, I am so THRILLED to hear that he will be PERFORMING at AMA yaaaayyyyyyyyyyy!!! This has certainly exceeded my expectation!

For the umpteenth time….I am totally amazed that the AMAs are putting an uproven singer up on stage with an unreleased single and that industry insiders are allowing him to promo this.

Singing, dancing, glitter, fire at the AMAs–OH MY!!! It’s really happening!
YEAH ADAM! )

HE’S STILL ON

“any day now” and “very soon” for the single announcement, says Adam.

And they’ve picked the album photo.

Hey, actual news!

Adam said *any DAY now!!!!!!

Performing his new (still unchosen?) glammy, glittery single at the AMA’s!

Adam says still no specific date for the single release

New word- “glitterier”

Love it…Love him!!!

It is hard to believe that they still haven’t chosen the first single, or maybe he just can’t say. But dancing, glitter, yeah!!! He just said anyday now for single. Yeah again!!!

Bringing back glam rock . . .

Lady Gaga just a rumour right now but probably touring next year.

His voice sounded a bit hoarse there at the end when he squeed about playing dress up and playing a rock star.

Has his picture pick out, should be soon. stay tune.

The official press release on the initial AMA performer list will be in today’s AMA nominations press release. But Adam said “live” — and “live” is the show, not the preshow.

Cool that Ryan got it first!

Adam — fire — I can already see it!

PAULER!

No Lady GaGa yet
Touring next year
No album title
Album pic done
Glam rock
Dress up, fun, getting to play rock star, so much fun, playing w/ BEP at AMAs

Now Paula is on…

Paula sounds terrible

From the interview, we can certainly extrapolate that there is more than one glamrock single to choose as the first release!

nice that Adam is trying to keep a bit humble. he said that he has to see how his album does before he knows if he is touring.

Tess: For the umpteenth time’ ¦.I am totally amazed that the AMAs are putting an uproven singer up on stage with an unreleased single and that industry insiders are allowing him to promo this.

And he is the first announce performer on the 2009 AMA’s!! That is huge!

It’s part of why I just adore him.

I need transcript of first part of interview…NOT ON KISS 108 FM IN BOSTON, BITTER!!!

Paula sounds as “off” as usual…

Ok, all done. Paula still sounds sick, but at least somewhat sober

Pauler is just so irrelevant to the music industry now, WTF is she doing announcing the AMA’s anyways?

Just picking myself up off the floor. AMA’s?, new glamrock single?, OTT performance, anytime now?
squeee!!!!!

ILoveKrisAllen39

I think the AMA’s always get strong ratings.

had to laugh, photo picked out, single not yet

Priorities, BB, Priorities!!!

ANY DAY NOW, Yippee!!!!

He will sing at award show o!! I will go to the tower and scream ADAM from the top! so happy

So no Gaga tour yet (unless Ryan can help broker some kind of deal )

Single out soon - but even Adam doesn’t know the date. LOL. Oh, well.

AMA performance announcement was epic goodness! Wheee!

Why does Paula always sound like she just finished up 4 shots of tequila…

He said that his song will be “glitterier” or he will be “glittier”???

Oh, gees! I couldn’t stand listening to that hideous Drake song, so I turned it off. Did Adam come back on? Waaah.

Now, that was an awesome little piece of promotion for Adam. Once again, generate buzz with suspence. “What will his single be??”

Annnnd, I guess I’ll be watching the AMAs this year.

Aww, that was a nice interview – he sounded so happy and exited. But no single title . However, performing at the AMAs, possibly with fire, totally makes up for that . I’m happy.

dhunken: Ok just to be clear he is going to perform on the show itself not the pre-show. Is this a first for the AMA. A performer on that is not nominated?

Many past performers have not been nominated for AMAs. But I think Adam my be the first performer selected for the AMAs who was selected before releasing a single. I will check it out.

I can’t believe I guessed this one right!

I think people who haven’t been nominated have performed on the AMAs before, although it’s rare. This is a huge deal for Adam — so excited to hear this glammy, glitterier single. Hopefully “any day now” is just that — and not a couple weeks from now.

Ah, it’s so sad Luv wasn’t here for this…

So – how much were those AMA tickets someone posted online not long ago? I think I might be able to scrape some cash together for them…

Dress up, fun, getting to play rock star, so much fun, playing w/ BEP at AMAs

Is he going to be playing WITH the Black Eyed Peas??

I’m confused.

The Fierce Power Rules all.

On a side note …. I LOVEEEE Adam’s morning voice.

Dallas, cause maybe she keeps Little Nipps in her purse!!!

MJ…I thought we’d crash your site…but your hanging in there. Like 30 posts in less than a minute…wa hoo!!

OK, I’m going to allow my hyperbole to come to the forefront. Everyone does realize that (eventually) this interview will be broadcast on the Ryan Seacrest show on over 100 stations nation wide. These are radio listeners outside of the AI bubble…people that may not know much about Adam. And now they have gotten a taste of his personality, know that he is performing on the American Music Awards, know that he has a single coming out and a video for a soundtrack song…heard part of the song. And could tell that Ryan was way excited.

This type of stuff just doesn’t happen, normally, to unproven talent. There is just something about Adam that is way outside of the norm, and especially the AI norm. And I know DC got to perform pre ceremonies last year and to present….but no idol has performed without anything being out there for people to critique.

Adam is not your typical AI finalist. There is something very special about this young man and the way he is being “delivered” to the American public. People may not like his voice, or his life style, or his personality, or how and what he chooses to sing….but they can’t deny he is getting opportunities that no other Idol ever has before he has released a note!!

OMG Q3….You are too awesome for words. Thank you.

I think we crashed MJs site. I haven’t been able to get on and update the page.

thought mj’s had been sunk by the squeeeees. WOOOOHOOOO!

cant wait to see him dancing around that stage with FIYAH!

Yes, the site went down for a bit.

I have Adam’s interview posted.

Is there a video stream for the AMA nom announcement?

It is midnight almost 1:00 am in Japan.
I could listen that radio here!
So excited Adam’s single.
Go Glammy!!

We LURRRRVE you, mj. Thank you SO SO MUCH.

I have Adam’s interview posted.

Thanks MJ!!

MomDuck GO HERE! AMA announcements at 9:30 http://media.myfoxla.com/live/6 minutes ago from web

Maybe he will fianlly get some f***king flames coming out of his head! He will be thrilled!

FORGET THE ROADBLOCK!!!!!

SQUEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!!!!

This is SO a Simon Fuller special. LOL. performing at the AMAs? Fantastic.

Congrats to Adam and his fans!

MomDuck GO HERE! AMA announcements at 9:30 http://media.myfoxla.com/live/6 minutes ago from web

didn’t work for me

Thanks, suebrody, couldn’t be on twitter AND the kiss stream st the same time at work(tried, but failed)

dhunken: Ok just to be clear he is going to perform on the show itself not the pre-show. Is this a first for the AMA. A performer on that is not nominated?

YES! the show itself, with dancers and probably fire. LOL

It’s Epic news for me. And I’m not ashamed to flail.

This will be the:

best
performance
on
the
amas
EVER

I love the way that he said oh no no no when asked if his single would sound like TFM (even if the video is epic). lol

I can only find the lists of past AMA’s from 2005 thru 2008 — every other performer for the past 4 years had already released a record. I am trying to find a complete list back to the 70′s.

ETA: Just confirmed the BEPs are performing separately — it was a bit confusing the way Ryan said it at the end. Yes, Adam is scheduled to perform solo at the AMA’s. Wonder who will be his band?

That Drake song made me want to commit a felony. It’s really really bad.

I for one was happy to hear Paula, and it was funny hearing them talk about Simon and his party. I wish Paula had done a twitpic with her Simon nails….anyway.

Adam performing at the AMA’s, MJ called it right. So they are gonna let Adam perform, not knowing what the hell he is gonna sing? Wow. Okay dude, let’s put on a show! It will be a spectacle, and I for one can’t wait.

Isn’t it just!!

Congratulations Adam bb, and to all the fans indeed.

There is something very special about this young man and the way he is being ‘delivered’  to the American public.

Yes, the OTT adam fans here on this site (an other sites) are not the only ones that think Adam is going to be huge and headed for superstardom. Some music industry peeps must see this as well. No songs released yet and he is going to perform on the AMAs! THat is huge but I would bet that the people that set up the AMA program probably have heard at least some of the songs that will be be (or may be) on his album.

the link is bad- just go to myfoxla:

I am on now, try this:

http://media.myfoxla.com/live/

Man, I wanted to hear Paula’s incoherent babble but it got cut off! Haha, guess I was the only one .

That’s very cool Adam gets to perform at the AMAs. I was kinda hoping DC would last year, but we got the pre-ceremony red carpet thing instead, which was neat, but not the same or as big a deal as a slot in the actual show, IMO.

Ryan is a fanboy! Ryan is a fanboy! (in a sing-songy voice) He called Adam “Our Boy”!

Paula sure hits the bottle early, doesn’t she?

Does anyone have the list of who sang at the AMAs last year? I remember it was quite an impressive list.

I have a feeling they have already decided on the single, if he’s talking about a production number with dancers and pyrotechnics. The song itself must be pretty bombastic.

I can’t believe I guessed this one right!

I never had any doubt in you, Q3!

I can only find the lists of past AMA’s from 2005 thru 2008 ‘” every other performer for the past 4 years had already released a record. I am trying to find a complete list back to the 70′s.

I doubt you’d find anyone in recent memory who got to perform their debut song (as a recording artist) on a major awards show. Without it already being a hit, that is. That’s quite a coup there!

in unrelated Adam news:
Theburg attention South Africa @adamlambert fans! i’ve just launched the official South african Adam Lambert site check out http://www.adamlambert.co.za!! less than a minute ago from web

http://media.myfoxla.com/live/ …. (need to drop the superfluous 6)

Was driving by myself, listening ‘“  had to do a solo SQUEEE!!

First of all, Ryan’s show: TORTURE!! Now I know why I flip on it and flip back off immediately. Dick Cheney probably wouldn’t subject Gitmo detainees to listen to that on a full-time loop.

Adam: Freaking adorable!!! Could he have been any more happy and excited? And he like never misses a beat when being interviewed. He was squeeing for himself ‘“  and when his voice cracked at the end? *Died*

Performing at the AMAs (hopefully major stage production!!!), glammy first single? Yay, yay and YAYY!!!

Paula: I guess the morning meds haven’t kicked in, but compared to Adam, she was practically comatose.

From OT thread:

Yesterday, @adamlambert tweeted, ‘Last studio day w Rob Cavallo! Can’t wait for everyone to hear our glam rock!!!’ 

We’re going to get glam rock single….

didn’t work for me

It does if you go to myfoxla and check streaming…

ETA: Jillian Reynolds is an idiot…the whole crew is…but I knew that from Joel McHale on The Soup.

I am going to be out of the country and no computer on the 22nd. Will the AMA be taped anywhere so I can watch it when I get back in dec.

Adam performing at the AMA’s, MJ called it right. So they are gonna let Adam perform, not knowing what the hell he is gonna sing? Wow. Okay dude, let’s put on a show! It will be a spectacle, and I for one can’t wait.

It will indeed be spectacular.

The fact that they are letting him perform whatever the single may be tells me that the industry has more faith in Adam than even we do.

It will be Epic. It will bring the buzz and it will boost the album.

It is all good in my eye.

So so happy for our glittery boy.

thanks MJ. I had to go bail out my daughter who’s daycare wasn’t opened and missed the live broadcast. Came back and couldn’t get on the site but it’s all good now. So can’t wait for the AMA’s.

Why is a Fox station covering the AMA announcement? Isn’t the show on ABC?

I’m thrilled that he’s performing on the AMA’s…..his management is doing an incredible job for him….so far anyhow! We have to see how it goes in the future.

THANK GOD there is no tour with Gaga.

…and…..

So well be getting the Adam everyone fell in love with. Sounds like something no one can miss. I bet the ratings well go throw the roof.

Not everyone fell in love with OTT Adam. I hope he has someone on his team that will draw the line and not let him cross it especially on such an important gig as the AMA’s.

Performing at the AMAs two days before his album drops will be huge exposure for Adam. His album will be flying off the shelves!

I had to download an add-on from Microsoft for the video to start working. Check your bar at the top of your browser.

I so totally mis-heard at first, thinking he said TFM would be performed at the AMA’s, not the first single – my bad.

Great great interview, though. And can’t wait to hear the first single! Any day now!! ACKKK!!!! It’s coming!

Maybe he will fianlly get some f***king flames coming out of his head! He will be thrilled!

You know, I’m thinking. I watched Lady Gaga perform at a Canada music awards show and she had boobs that shot flames, no lie.
So surely Adam can get that fiery headdress he wants!
Squeeeee!!!!
Wow, 758 peeps on here now. Now wonder site crashed for me a while ago.

will: Why is a Fox station covering the AMA announcement? Isn’t the show on ABC?

All four networks plus MTV have crews there. CNN is also there.

I lost the site for awhile! I am so excited that Adam will be performing on the ‘main stage’ at the AMA Awards!! He’s going to have a big production number…..finally…..backup singers and dancers?! I was a little worried when I heard him mentioned some ‘fire’ (remembering flamming headdress)! Just sayn’. I can’t believe he is actually going to be performing on the main show…not the pre-show. Well….yes I can…because he’s worked really hard, has an amazing voice, and he deserves it!!

I am sooo glad I changed my appointment time today so I could hear this news LIVE!!!!

And, it sounds like his album is going to be like I had hope…bringing back some glam rock!

OK, I’m going to allow my hyperbole to come to the forefront. Everyone does realize that (eventually) this interview will be broadcast on the Ryan Seacrest show on over 100 stations nation wide. These are radio listeners outside of the AI bubble’ ¦people that may not know much about Adam. And now they have gotten a taste of his personality, know that he is performing on the American Music Awards, know that he has a single coming out and a video for a soundtrack song’ ¦heard part of the song. And could tell that Ryan was way excited.

and, I don’t think Ryan mentioned American Idol once when talking to Adam.

People may not like his voice, or his life style, or his personality, or how and what he chooses to sing’ ¦.but they can’t deny he is getting opportunities that no other Idol ever has before he has released a note!!

How can anyone not like his personality! Is that even possible? Not like the voice? Not like his lifestyle? His songs? Those I can understand (kind of), but personality? Not challenging you here at all, but your post made me stop and wonder if it could possibly be true that some people don’t like his personality once they actually get to know him. Guess it must be true, but *sads*.

So happy for him today! Let the anticipation for the AMA begin. He’s gonna blow the roof off.

So 9:30 for the AMA nominees announcement, yes?

The fact that they are letting him perform whatever the single may be tells me that the industry has more faith in Adam than even we do.

Hadn’t thought of that – good point. LOL! Well, with Adam, it’s automatically guaranteed to be epic!

Why is a Fox station covering the AMA announcement? Isn’t the show on ABC?

All the networks are apparently covering the announcement.

Now don’t be too excited about “fire”….this was just Adam OTT speak (see Zodiak show). He has a tendency to gush and I think this was more his dress up flamboyancy talking. I am sure it will be a big production number….fire and flames, nope, not going to happen. The LA fire marshall would go insane!!

eta: this so reminds me of Ricky Martin performing at the Grammy Awards. His music went balistic after that…and he was a relative newbie.

Loved loved loved the enthusiasm both Ryan and Paula had for Adam! Didn’t Ryan call him “our boy”, or something. Too cute!

And Adam was just so cool and sweet during that interview – yeah, dress-up! You just feel his enthusiasm coming through when he talks. Love it!

I hope he has someone on his team that will draw the line and not let him cross it especially on such an important gig as the AMA’s

.

Nah, musc award show performances are meant to be no holds barred, over the top. You want to be the talk of the town the next day, so no lines need be drawn. It’s the perfect platform for Adam to go all out.

Ryan is such a fanboy.

He couldn’t stop talking about him even during the Paula interview. He couldn’t even end the segment without mentioning his name.

Love it.

I am sure it will be a big production number’ ¦.fire and flames, nope, not going to happen. The LA fire marshall would go insane!!

I’m sure he means something like the WLL intro during the tour or his KISS number during the finale. That was even done, at the NOKIA. Maybe they have some leftover!

Tess: Now don’t be too excited about ‘fire’ ’ ¦.this was just Adam OTT speak (see Zodiak show). He has a tendency to gush and I think this was more his dress up flamboyancy talking. I am sure it will be a big production number’ ¦.fire and flames, nope, not going to happen. The LA fire marshall would go insane!!

The stage fire and pyro safely. It’s done all the time.

So Adam fianlly might get real fire — not just the video fire like on Idol.

At this point, I think if Adam wants fire, they will get him fire!

Now don’t be too excited about ‘fire’ ’ ¦.this was just Adam OTT speak (see Zodiak show). He has a tendency to gush and I think this was more his dress up flamboyancy talking. I am sure it will be a big production number’ ¦.fire and flames, nope, not going to happen. The LA fire marshall would go insane!!

LOL! Yeah, I’m still betting Adam (sadly) will not be getting his flaming head dress. But hopefully still be given a lot more leeway than what he’s been used to in the past (bigger budget, etc.)

And Ryan played the TfM clip!!

musc award show performances are meant to be no holds barred, over the top. You want to be the talk of the town the next day, so no lines need be drawn. It’s the perfect platform for Adam to go all out.

Absolutely!

Now don’t be too excited about ‘fire’ ’ ¦.this was just Adam OTT speak (see Zodiak show).

Poor Adam, no one is ever going to let him have his fire, but glittery and glammy sounds good. I can’t believe he’s getting to do this only two days before his album drops. His management is killer!

WOOT go Adam! What amazing things to happen to an amazing guy. How can someone who has so much going on still manage to come across as such a fabulous mix of confident, appreciative, excited, provocative, sweet. This interview will be replayed and introduce him to so many more people, and then the time on TV for the announcements, the movie credits and the single release and the AMAs and the album release. Multimedia star indeed! Now I’m just waiting for my line of eyeshadows (sigh, one thing at a time!)

eta: this so reminds me of Ricky Martin performing at the Grammy Awards. His music went balistic after that’ ¦and he was a relative newbie.

I was thinking the exact same thing!

I wonder if Kris might also be invited to perform at the AMA’s? Or is that too much Idol for one show? I hope he doesn’t feel snubbed.

OMG this is so cool! But now I’m nervous all over again….

ETA: Can you imagine Adam putting on a show like Janet Jackson used to do back in the day. I used to watch the award shows just for her or Michael’s performances.

It is so great having Ryan being a fanboy, b/c he has so many followers. And he is on E!, so I am sure there will be more pluggage there. And, really, all over the media.

*flailing*

Wow, Adam singing and having background dancers with a glammy single on a TV show watched my millions of people; I am so happy for him. All of his dreams are coming true.

they are talking food now in the fox stream?

OK Q3 I’ll bite…just don’t expect a flaming headress. It would be really neat!!

We all may get a tad impatient waiting for news, but ADAM has not ever let us down.

Am I the only one who teared up listening to Adam’s excitement?

why do I see a cooking segment on Good Day LA? Isn’t this supposed to be the livestream?

Are the announcements on yet? Not on the Good Day LA…they are still talking about food. Blah.

I am not a foodie at the moment.

WHERE ARE THE ANNOUNCEMENTS??? Oh, they are coming up NEXT!!!!

I don’t want to get myself too excited for the wrong thing. How do we know it’s the regular show and not the pre-show?

eta: this so reminds me of Ricky Martin performing at the Grammy Awards. His music went balistic after that’ ¦and he was a relative newbie.

From your fingers…

I can ´t wait to see what Adam will have in store for us at the AMAs!! I ´m so excited for him, he sounded so happy. Now I want to see pics and video from the nominations.

Oh I love Ryan he played the snippet again.

ETA: I was listening to the interview and it shutoff on me FML!

So excited! And Adam is just so much fun to listen to in interviews, his excitement is contagious. The single can’t come soon enough, but in the meantime, I can’t believe how much I am already loving TFM. I think he is in a good position where he can go out and really promote the new single and just let the movie push TFM.

Fail for the Fox guy, didn’t name Adam, but the ladies quickly corrected him.

The wait is excrutiating!

ugh, im no seeing anything!! but there isnt a bar telling me i need to download something. grrrrrrr

I think they said the regular show…

Wy is my screen blank? I wanna see the AMA announcements!

live5 just stopped for me.

zzatrms

Am I the only one who teared up listening to Adam’s excitement?

No I’m a little misty and I can’t even see video or hear on my set-up at work – I’m only reading everyone’s wonderful recounts and feeling the excitement through all of you, Thank you.

Way to go Adam! He will never dissapoint.

I think it’s so so fantasic for him. Am really excited for him. I probably won’t be able to watch thou. We moving to Fort Drum New york. And the movers well be taking are tv and computers with them. Am hoping my husband well keep his laptop with him so I can at least see it here on MJ’S site afterwards. Or hopefully well be visiting my mom around that time, and I can see it over there.

I don’t want to get myself too excited for the wrong thing. How do we know it’s the regular show and not the pre-show?

Stop worrying! They are not staging a production number on the pre-show!

Screen is back!!!! Talking about Bernie Madoff…

I detest Good Day LA.

Can someone post live stream link please

http://media.myfoxla.com/live/

Stop worrying! They are not staging a production number on the pre-show!

So Adam fianlly might get real fire ‘” not just the video fire like on Idol.

At this point, I think if Adam wants fire, they will get him fire!

Just no. It would be for his own good. Stick with the glam and glitter Adam.

Fire makes me a little nervous. I wish I hadn’t watched the Michael Jackson Pepsi video. *shudder*

“Adam is not your typical AI finalist. There is something very special about this young man and the way he is being ‘delivered’  to the American public. People may not like his voice, or his life style, or his personality, or how and what he chooses to sing’ ¦.but they can’t deny he is getting opportunities that no other Idol ever has before he has released a note!!”

Yes, tess, yes yes!!

I detest Dorothy of GoodDayLa

They’ll be showing the AMA noms soon! OMG – as though I couldn’t already get more excited with Adam-y goodness today!!!

Whee!!!

I’m just getting a blank screen at that link. Nothing is streaming, yet. Anyone else?

Tess: eta: this so reminds me of Ricky Martin performing at the Grammy Awards. His music went balistic after that’ ¦and he was a relative newbie.

Interesting comparison. I hope that the AMAs are the same for Adam! But Ricky Martin was in many way far more established when he was on the Grammys than Adam. (Although who knows where Adam will be by 11/22/09!)

1999 Grammy Awards May 1999 made Ricky Martin a real superstar, but he already was a major Latin music star before that. He had released 4 albums, including “Vuelve” #1 on th US Latin charts in 1998.

His first English language single, “Livin’ la Vida Loca”, was already #1 when he performed on the Grammys. (Released in 1 month before the show.) He also released his first English language album 1 week before the Grammys and that hit #1 US right about the same time as the Grammy performance.

Ugh, more commercials…c’mon people!

WHERE IS THE FOX STREAM????????? Is there a link??????? Panicking

Fire is good. It can be safe. Really. I’ve spotted for my daughter and her friends many, many times. When handled correctly, fire dancing is exquisite, and has the element of danger, but Adam likes that and so do audiences.

http://media.myfoxla.com/live/

http://media.myfoxla.com/live/

No fire, I agree. Glam, glitter, dancing, singing, costumes (OTT, maybe, I now think, but not too OTT), huge audience watching, performing new single from new album (before the GMAs, also well-seen), and so on.

Yes, Paula, Adam truly is iconic. He will be a world-wide superstar, I can feel it.

deleted.

I finally heard the whole interview, I cut it off when Paula started talking. Did she say anything of importance?

BTW Adam always give a great interview.

alaadam, it is http://media.myfoxla.com/live/

Don’t be concerned if it’s silent or blank, that’s commercial break time.

Keep refreshing if link isn’t working.

I don’t get anything with that link – screen is blank? Is anyone else seeing it?

I think this guy must have a Paula crush…

I mean the whole screen isn’t blank but the streamin part is . . just black with an x in the corner . . help!

How can a major city like LA put on a crapfest like Good Day LA? I don’t understand…this is fun? No, this is pathetic. Boy, Joel McHale barely touches the surface…

HERE IT COMES MAYBE AT SOME POINT

ETA: Yes, when it’s black, they have gone to commercial break, so the hosts are not stupid enough to keep talking on mic, tho sometimes they still do…

thx for posting this clip! TFM is a very average rock power ballad, but adam’s voice sounds beautiful in it. and i love adam’s OTT personality in this chat with ryan.

LOL at cutting off the Paula interview! it seems an AI runner-up w/o a single hit (yet) has trumped a 90s superstar / former long running AI judge! i actually wanted to hear the paula part… lolz

LOL to Good Day LA – a frequent source of The Soup jokes But I can’t make fun of them today since they’re providing the Adam fix.

I hear you mgk. but that was not safe use of fire with Michael.
Pyrotechnics overhead can’t be good

Come on AMAs! What happened to “exactly” 8:30 a.m.? I have work to do but must see the glittery alien first!

Anyone spot Adam?

looks like emo!Adam….from the peek they just gave…

OK Gotta now since peeps wanna keep us grounded. Has this ever happen to an AI runner up without a single out! Dang, the industry luvs Adam! 19E seems to be doing him very well. From what I had heard, they wouldn’t!

I don’t get anything with that link ‘“ screen is blank? Is anyone else seeing it?

I think most of us are.

Looks like it is going to start after the commercial- crossing fingers

no sound

Very Very Sexciting!!!! YEP…..Adam’s been diggin’ PINK and GAGA performances, totally loves the craziness of Madonna & her brillance. He IS wild w/ideas of his own. OMG! The True Adamness is right around the corner….and that time NOW!

no live feed for me. going to have wait for utube. Hmmm. i think I’ll listen to the interview again

Jeez, they panned over to where he and Paula were standing…and then cut away to Santa Monica Pier???? Hello?????

At this point, I think if Adam wants fire, they will get him fire!

Yes, Q3! ita.

It’s funny to post here and tweet on Twitter simultaneously (sort of). They are dying there as well.

IT IS ON!!!

larchcat- there is probably a message on your webbrowser asking you if it’s okay to run the controls or something. click yes

emo

Adam *performing* at AMAs???!!!!

SQUEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Happy flailing dance!

What is Michael Jackson nominated for?

Paula looks really nice AND ADAM LOOKS HOT.

GOR GEOUS

I love Snoop Doggs voice

I wonder if Kris might also be invited to perform at the AMA’s? Or is that too much Idol for one show? I hope he doesn’t feel snubbed.

I am so glad that Kris and Adam don’t have to be tied at the hip anymore. They can both go off and work on their respective careers. I am positive that Kris has so much on his plate right now that the only feelings he will have about this is happiness for Adam.

Flail!! His hair is emo gorgeous! And leather vest!!! *THUD*

I need a drop cloth for my keyboard. Drooling here.

No surprise Carrie got nominated Fav Female Country Arist

GO TO ADAM ALREADY!!! I like Snoop’s ponytail. He looks very handsome.

The nominations will also be revealed on abc.com webpage here.

http://abc.go.com/shows/american-music-awards/nominations

Last year, David Cook held a concert on the red carpet, and he presented an award to Taylor Swift. If Adam is performing a song onstage, that is awesome.

Have any other Idols performed on the show in the past?

I wonder if Kris might also be invited to perform at the AMA’s? Or is that too much Idol for one show? I hope he doesn’t feel snubbed.

Today is Adam’s day. I was hoping I didn’t have to hear one damn word about Kris. Adam owes him nothing. Enough Kradam; at least professionally.

He looks great!!!! The hair is perfect! Styling, hip and understated

Well nice for Adam. Interesting of the AMAs to have a song they don’t even know the title, much less how popular it will be by the time of air, by a person who came in second, albeit on the most popular show in the US.

I know right??!!… maybe the AMAs peeps have heard his song…. IDK.. but I don’t care.. RCA’s moving units for Adam… What a great promotion for his single… and It’s soooooooooooooooooo nice to hear his talking voice again and how excited he was and how excited Ryan was. And I liked when Ryan’s referring Adam as “Our Boy” when he talked to Paula… thanks Ryan… and thanks MJ for this special thread

That ‘main man’ comment make me SQUEEE!

OMG I love his hair. “It’s like a club in here.” ROTFL

And now, we have Snadam!

He’s handsome. I need pics, tons and tons of them.

He just announced pop breakthrough artists… next year… Adam Lambert!

I finally heard the whole interview, I cut it off when Paula started talking. Did she say anything of importance?

BTW Adam always give a great interview.

Not much – but kinda funny that Ryan kept bringing up Adam’s name during Paula’s interview (as in, aren’t you excited for him, do you know anything about the album, etc – she said she would report back what she found out )

Yay…can’t wait to see him on the AMAs singing his new single – that’s all!

He’s so comfortable up there, so natural.

I love the hair, he looks so good.

Ohh – Adam looking hot at the nominations! Love the hair, the vest!

his hair got so long! Keep growing it Adam!

Could there be a Snoop/Adam collab in the works???

“Hey guys . . . . . . .”

Lookin’ good! Need more close up pictures. He has such good posture!

So . . . *er* . . . . erect!

ETA: Love the outfit, but keep that hair out of that beautiful face. Otherwise, perfect!!

I was right yesterday!!!

I said he would wear a vest, not a suit- he looked so delicious- he is the only one that can make reading nominees look fun and exciting!!!

love the outfit; HATE HATE HATE the hair…..what a thrill is must be for him to have snoop calling him “his man” “his main man” etc.

My main man Adam!!! Paula looked good.

He’s so confortable up there, so natural.

Yes, I thought so too. Maybe a tad nervous (he seemed to talk a little faster the first time he was up), but then got more natural, and I loved the little laughs

He changed the side of the part in his hair.

I got it now guys .. . . thanks. Technically challenged!

Is this on tv?

Hair style is different, its pushed over to the other side, he had on a black vest and pants I think, and looked like a dark blue shirt, very handsome. Paula seemed better after she woke up!

DAng! he looked great! I luuuuuuuuv to hear him laugh! It all made my day! I’m in glitter heaven. Uhhhhhhhhmmmmmmmmmm mmmmmmm! He looked good!

Awww… the leeching off the hotel across the street’s wifi worked. He looked great! Loved the hair and the outfit. Is it weird that I loved hearing Snoop Dogg say “My main man, Adam”??

Wow- I never realized Snoop was so tall! Usually we have Adam towering over everyone else…

Here’s to the first of MANY award show performances from Adam!

OMG I love his hair. ‘It’s like a club in here.’  ROTFL

LOL! Yes to both

“it’s like a club in here”… oh adam. never change.

i love the way he read them out…he even adds a little flair to his reading voice.

the hair isnt my fave look of his but he is gorgeous regardless!

Yes but isn’t it somewhat traditional for the winner of AI to perform at the AMA’s? If so, and Kris isn’t going to be asked, I would feel a bit snubbed if I were him.

Adam looked great! Two best moments:

- Snoop Dogg – starting off with the Country categories — loved the laugh.

- Adam – “It’s like a club in here.”

Please, Adam looked great. Someone on a thread yesterday predicted black leather vest outfit — and nailed it!

I think that this is the hair we may see for a while — sure hope so.

Love Adam’s hair! He looks gorgeous as usual.

He is SO winning breakthrough artist next year.

And he must have been so happy announcing GaGa for a number of categories.

They cut out the sound at the end.

Snadam. LOL

I wonder what’s going to trend for Adam on Twitter; several suggestions, including one by Jim, have been suggested.

HE.LOOKED.SO.HOT.

Please wear your hair like that from now on. What would that be called. Not Emo!Adam. Not Elvis!Adam. Chic!Adam?

I am beyond, beyond, beyond happy for him. There really are no words…. (now I get to turn off Good Day LA, and hopefully watch “my main man” Adam about 100x on youtube).

And there goes Adam being adorable and articulate twice in one day. Snoop Dogg: my main man Adam! Yes, everyone loves him!

I am flailing, but are people 100% sure that Adam is performing during the actual AMAs, not at the preshow thing beforehand?

Wowser Adam looked mighty fine! Loved the hair and the outfit! Can’t wait to see more of it!

Jason Kennedy from E! tweeted:

@JasonKennedy1: At the AMA Nominations, there’s Snoop in a suit, Adam Lambert and Paula Abdul. Intv’s tonight on E! http://pic.gd/037b8c

Adam looks really really good, love his hair and outfit. So nice to hear him live again…Can’t wait for November!!!! thanks guys for sharing this!

My favorite Adam hair EVAH! He was wonderfully natural and comfortable up there…

beehiway:

He just announced pop breakthrough artists’ ¦ next year’ ¦ Adam Lambert!

I’ll give you a HELLS YEAH! on that one!!

Did I imagine things, or did people start clapping when Adam walked to the podium…..

Photos people, please! some of us can’t see the link.
I know he is looking good and the vest sounds like a winner, the hair i need to see – help…

He looked gorgeous! and like sunn said, so natural up there.

Cute!

Love the outfit and the hair, he seemed so natural, so at ease!

Is it weird that I loved hearing Snoop Dogg say ‘My main man, Adam’ ??

LOL – I think we’ve already shipped them – Snadam! Step aside, Kradam!

Can anyone tell me how far into Ryan’s show the interviews started?? It’s syndicated here and comes on in the afternoon.

Oh happy day!!!!!!

Yes but isn’t it somewhat traditional for the winner of AI to perform at the AMA’s? If so, and Kris isn’t going to be asked, I would feel a bit snubbed if I were him.

Maybe Kris is doing the pre-show thing….

SNADAM! I love it! Adam looked great – I LOVED the hair. ANd Snoop – how debonair. Paula looked cute – loved the hat.

They did clap for Adam–don’t think they did for Paula or Snoop. Then again, I was only paying attention to Adam!

I wonder if they’ll reshow this on ACB tomorrow morning on GMA maybe.

Did I imagine things, or did people start clapping when Adam walked to the podium’ ¦..

Nope – that happened! Really cool.

Okay now, oh you great and wonderful peeps that know what and where and when to go for the scoop – will the afternoon “big announcement” be broadcast on the same live LA station ya think?

They only clapped for Adam!!! Love him in a vest, that is why I predicted, cause he looks so awesome in it & I was hoping he would wear it!!! Loved the GMA look and the Ford Day looks as well

http://img2.yfrog.com/i/tuy.jpg/

Jai Rodriguez’s tweet pic

Loved Adam’s hair! He looked great and sounded confident, loved the little laughs. I need pictures fast!

Oh, Adam overload of goodness! Thank god my meeting today was cancelled!

LOVE the vest shirt combo – dark blue shirt – oh, yeah.

Cindy, Adam came on Ryan’s show at about 9:35am mountain time (8:35 pst) on the live feed. Not sure what time his show started. Did not find it after a quick check. Maybe someone in LA knows.

Adam is such a natural when it comes to speaking in public. He is comfortable and exudes confidence without arrogance. He never ceases to amaze me.

This is probably fangirl OTT, but frankly I do not credit his management with all of this (some, not all) — I tend to think they (the industry, writers, producers) are reaching out to Adam and management. He is a hot commodity and everyone seems to want to jump on this wild and crazy bandwagon!!! Yeah team Adam!

Okay now, oh you great and wonderful peeps that know what and where and when to go for the scoop ‘“ will the afternoon ‘big announcement’  be broadcast on the same live LA station ya think?

What big announcement are you referring to?

From EW.com:

Adam Lambert to perform at AMAs
by Mike Bruno
Categories: News
Ryan Seacrest and Adam Lambert announced on Seacrest’s KIIS FM radio show this morning that the American Idol star is performing at the American Music Awards (AMAs), which will air on ABC Nov. 22. The singer will perform the first single from his as-yet-untitled upcoming debut album (due Nov. 24). The single has yet to be selected or released, but Lambert promised that it would be ‘glammy.’  ‘We’re bringing back a glam-rock kinda feel to pop music,’  Lambert told Seacrest.

Lambert also addressed rumors that he’d be touring with Lady Gaga, saying no offers had been made to him.

Sunn, OnlinepastryChef, BeckyMD and Heart – THANK YOU for the links to pix!

Wow it’s amazing he’s already been asked to perform at the main show. What an honor for a new artist!!! Go Adam!!!

I missed the AMA annoucements. is it on utube yet?

How in the world are they letting him perform when even HE doesn’t know what song it is yet? This is nuckin futs! I am so happy and scared at the same time.

It may just be me, but I don’t want to run the Kris fans off. I hope he does well and if the AMAs would like to have him as a presenter that would be great.

Please I beg I missed nominacions. Need to see Adam please. Merci

i’m so distracted…

Becky Merci love you, I take a crub my love.

The singer will perform the first single from his as-yet-untitled upcoming debut album (due Nov. 24). The single has yet to be selected or released, but Lambert promised that it would be ‘glammy.’  ‘We’re bringing back a glam-rock kinda feel to pop music,’  Lambert told Seacrest.

I love this. It must be frustrating for writers, so many words, when Strut would do.

BeckyMD – OMG! thank you; movement, looks into the camera and he is just beautiful.
Thanks for the gif link.

Yes but isn’t it somewhat traditional for the winner of AI to perform at the AMA’s? If so, and Kris isn’t going to be asked, I would feel a bit snubbed if I were him.

Actually, I don’t think there’s much tradition here one way or the other, is there? There have been occasional appearances, in some capacity or other, by somebody from Idol. But not enough to declare any kind of tradition. No reason for anybody to feel snubbed.

I expect they just figure that Adam will be a great voice putting on quite a show, and they figure that their audience will enjoy that. Kris is a quiet kind of a guy, not a flashy performer, and known for his strong overall musicianship, not for a showstopping voice. And what they figure is more suitable for their show is the showstopping voice and the flashy performance, I would guess. And I’d say that’s about right for a tv spectacular that’s kind of focused on vocal music.

These two guys are both very strong and talented, and each one is going to be a natural for a completely different set of opportunities, I think.

I think Adam knows what his first single will be.

He is such a tease.

So many men I know should learn from him.

sorry I think you say crumb not crub . merci becky je t’aime.

love the gif.

so many camera flashes for adam.

Thank you – thank you – thank you to all of you posting information and pics!! I am floored, amazed and excited – Adam is a breath of fresh air

Here is a link to download the video of the press conference.

No the AI winner doesn’t traditionally perform on the AMA’s. They are usually in attendance though. Even Taylor was there and made a presentation of an award.

OMG.. new hair do… emo-japanese .. now he really look like those Japanese cartoon… love it

I am flailing, but are people 100% sure that Adam is performing during the actual AMAs, not at the preshow thing beforehand?

YES!!! We’re 100% sure!

In that case, I will continue flailing.

It is in the official AMA announcement — Adam will be performing on the main show — not the pre-show!

From Reuters:

BEVERLY HILLS, Calif., Oct. 13 /PRNewswire/ — Recording artists Paula Abdul, Adam Lambert and Snoop Dogg revealed the American Music Awards (AMAs) nominees this morning from the Beverly Hills Hotel (see full list of nominees below).

Alicia Keys, Black Eyed Peas, Jennifer Lopez and Adam Lambert were also announced as performers for the 37th annual AMAs. The AMA’s will be Adam Lambert’s debut performance of music from his forthcoming CD release. Additional acts and presenters will be announced in the coming weeks.

This is an Idol first — performing on the AMAs in your Idol year!
David Cook was the first Idol to perform on the AMA pre-show in his Idol year as far as I can determine.

Other Idol alums have performed but not the first year!!
ETA: This is not correct — Fantasia Barrino performed on the AMA in 2004. Posted info later on. Sorry for this incorrect info!!

Yes but isn’t it somewhat traditional for the winner of AI to perform at the AMA’s?

I don’t think so, Will. I don’t recall Jordin performing after her win, or Fantasia. Cook only performed at the pre-show. Did Taylor perform? I know they often use Idols to present awards.

LOVE the look – he looks his age: young and pretty!

Sorry to all who I may ofend is the other boy Kriss? is delicious tuna. Adam is caviar.

How in the world are they letting him perform when even HE doesn’t know what song it is yet? This is nuckin futs! I am so happy and scared at the same time.

Because “they” know that the WORLD is salivating over every crumb we get of anything remotely Adam.

He is like nothing and no one alive and “they” will deliver whatever Adam chooses to serve up, confident that he will only further stir the ferver for more.

It’s like serving chips to kids.

Don’t worry about Kris fans. m a Kris fan first. But also an Adam fan and am for one very excited for him. Am sure Kris well be very happy for his friend. Adam deserves his day. Happy for all the Adam fans. this is an excited day for you all.

I think Adam knows what his first single will be.

Well it could also be that they don’t agree on what the first single will be…

Screen shots.

The youtube of the interview is on youtube (lol on the picture–glamily!), but not the AMA ceremony yet, or not that I saw.

THIS IS THE BEST MORNING EVER!

I postponed a meeting until later today b/c I had to be here for all of this.

@dishofsalt Adam’s standing right next to me…. Minutes til our intv.6 minutes ago from TwitterBerry Lucky Laura!

Adam seemed a bit nervous in the beginning. I’m kinda glad, actually. I like that he realizes the enormity of what is happening to him and doesn’t take it for granted. I’m also glad that I am going along for the ride.

Believe it or not, Clay Aiken won the AMA fan favorite award in 2003, was also nominated for another award, and also performed on the show, a duet with Ruben. So it varies.

Clay Aiken wins American Music Awards “Fan’s Choice” award
By Steve Rogers, 11/17/2003

Clay Aiken might have lost last spring’s American Idol 2 viewer voting contest to Ruben Studdard, but his devoted fans apparently made sure that Clay wouldn’t fall just short a second time. Powered by the efforts of his “clay maniacs,” Aiken took home the American Music Awards Fan’s Choice award on Sunday night, beating out 50 Cent, Justin Timberlake, and Beyonce among others. The award is the only AMA award where the winner is determined by online fan voting.

“I totally expected it to go to Justin Timberlake or to 50 Cent, and when they called my name I was literally completely 100 percent surprised,” Aiken told his hometwon WRAL Raleigh, NC television station.

Aiken, who also was also nominated for the “Favorite Male Artist – Pop or Rock” award that Kid Rock won, told the station that he was not very nervous about winning an award and was in fact more concerned about his live performances for the show. Aiken performed his hit single “Invisible” during the telecast (WRONG) and also sang a duet with American Idol 2 winner Studdard. “I was really nervous. This really, as Ruben said, this was our audition for the industry. This was our chance to show them were were more than just contestants on a game show,” he said.

lehomme- your posts bring a huge smile to my face- welcome to the boards!

Maybe (here’s hoping) there are too many great songs and they cannot choose between which brizzolucent one to release FIRST!!!

Oh, I like it. Emo!Japanese.

I want the single.
I want the album.
I want to see Adam sing on TV.
I want to see him on interviews (e.g., TONIGHT WITH LAURA SALTMAN)
I want to see his Tour
I want to cry

THIS IS THE BEST MORNING EVER!

And even better – there’s more to come!!!

How many times have I asked posters not to play moderator? I’m going to be putting people in moderation who insist on breaking the rules.

This is an Idol first ‘” performing on the AMAs in your Idol year!
David Cook was the first Idol to perform on the AMA pre-show in his Idol year as far as I can determine.

Other Idol alums have performed but not the first year!!

Yeah, I think the winner/runner up/hot property that year LOL is usually there is some capacity… in the audience, presenting, on the red carpet, etc. But last year was the first time they got the winner an performance spot of any kind (pre show) and this year… a slot on the actual broadcast! Good stuff.

I bet Kris and/or Allison will be there in some capacity. Its a big promo event happening around the time the publicity push is in full swing.

je t’ aime studo 57 I adore Adam!

STAY ON TOPIC. I’ll be putting anyone who engages in fanwars in moderation. I don’t care who started it.

I know right??!!’ ¦ maybe the AMAs peeps have heard his song’ ¦. IDK.. but I don’t care..

I think they just simply realize that he will showcase his great voice and put on a compelling show, no matter what he sings, because that’s what he did week after week on AI and at the tour. Love them or hate them, his performances and his voice were always topics of conversation for a lot of people. Since they know he’s a performer who delivers like this, time after time, *and* who showcases the idea that there are still great voices left in the music industry, I doubt that they give a hoot what song he sings. They’ve seen him make something out of many many songs and know that he doesn’t disappoint in the “that’ll get people talking” area.

more pic of Adam. He is delicious.

TY, TY, TY Becky! I will keep a window open just for that today. I don’t know why sometimes my senses can’t seem to multi task when Adam is around. Sometimes it is fun to just watch and sometimes just listen like the radio spot this morning.

Believe it or not, Clay Aiken won the AMA fan favorite award in 2003, was also nominated for another award, and also performed on the show, twice, a solo and a duet. So it varies.

Well I stand corrected! I did not remember Clay doing this show at all, honestly. This was coming right off idol? If your buzz is big enough, then they will book you, apparently!

Studio 57 je t’ aime as well. I adore Adam, wait for him here in Europe.

It may just be me, but I don’t want to run the Kris fans off. I hope he does well and if the AMAs would like to have him as a presenter that would be great.

I’m with you halfie

The singer will perform the first single from his as-yet-untitled upcoming debut album (due Nov. 24). The single has yet to be selected or released, but Lambert promised that it would be ‘glammy.’  ‘We’re bringing back a glam-rock kinda feel to pop music,’  Lambert told Seacrest.

As someone said in the headline thread, this could be 4 minutes of hiccupping – LOL
He doesn’t have anything out but he’s like the hottest thing out there right now (I know people will dispute this, but I think it’s true)

more pic of Adam. He is delicious.

Thank you! Very very lovely All three look great!

Thank you BeckyMD for these pics! You’re right, Adam is delicious! Snoop must be 8 ft tall! Paula looks nice too.

How in the world are they letting him perform when even HE doesn’t know what song it is yet? This is nuckin futs! I am so happy and scared at the same time.

This is what blows my mind! I HAVE to believe that even if they haven’t selected the first single, somebody high up on the AMA food chain has heard SOMETHING from the album.

Not sure how I feel about Emo!Japanese Adam hair. It’s very stylish though. Covers his face too much. It reminds me of Satisfaction Adam but parted on the other side.

He looks like (drum roll) ASTRO BOY!!!!!!!!!!!!

OMG at this one:

With a voice like his – and pretty to boot? Talk about having the total package <3

Ruben and Clay both performed at the AMA’s that year:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eSK_kz-Jdr8

So I think there’s a very good chance Kris may perform this year as well.

BTW, my intent was not to start a fanwar by asking about Kris. I think it would be very cool if they both got to perform, and now I see that there is a precedent for that.

I think Adam knows what his first single will be.

He is such a tease.

So many men I know should learn from him.

This! I would not be totally surprised if Adam is just being coy about it, probably not allowed to reveal the name until the actual PR peeps tell him its ok to. Rather than risk spilling the deets to someone like Ryan (who would definitely pressure him for the info), I bet he just says he doesn’t know.

I’m pretty sure, as soon as he said it’ll come out “any day now” that they already have it picked.

OMG at this one:

http://www.gettyimages.com/detail/91854100/Getty-Images-Entertainment

Oh that’s pretty!

I’m in complete shock right now, my heart is beating a mile a minute. I can’t believe that this BEAUTIFUL man has come into everyone’s life…I’m a 51 year old woman who feels like a 16 year old right now. Thank you Adam…..

Just looked at the gettyimages pics. Is Adam wearing a string tie?

HD SHOT from justjared

YAYYYYYYYYYY!!

Had to come home for lunch to see what was going on – this is great news. I am soooo happy it is not the pre-show. I wanted them to say “no, we want YOU inside”!!!

Something inside me knows that the AMAs are broadcast in Canada as well – but can someone please confirm it is so? Slight panic attack happening!! Is it broadcast on ABC?

ETA: What date are the AMAs?

Adam likes mystery and surprise. I’m hoping that TPTB have had a difficult time choosing because there is an embarassment of riches.

Was that a vest over a vest? What was around his neck?

I wait for Adam video of him anouncing nomines Merci

And LOL to this thread length! Is there any record for quickest amount of time before a thread had this many comments? It seemed we had 4 pages in the first few minutes leading up to the Ryan interview.

Was that a vest over a vest? What was around his neck?

It look like an old west neck tie and I think the style of the vest was to look doubled- very nice get-up

So happy and excited for Adam.

ETA: What date are the AMAs?

I think the Sunday before his album drops – Nov 22.

http://www.starckwords.com/livejournal/AMA09.jpg
AWWW.He’s so pretty <3 <3

The 2009 American Music Awards will be broadcast live on Sunday, November 22 at 8/7c.

http://abc.go.com/shows/american-music-awards

Not just Adam but *live* Adam. This is why they could have him when they might not have some other relatively untested new performers. He’s abundantly proved that he gives a great show live and always gives people something to talk about.

This is so fun! I thought Adam sounded a little nervous this morning on the Ryan Seacrest interview, I can’t WAIT to see footage from the AMA announcement! I feel so proud of him; it’s nice to know that he truly, truly appreciates what is happening for him.

Looked it up and Snoop Dogg is 6’3 1/2″.

What date are the AMAs?

November 22.

Snoop is 6’4″

ETA OOOOPS
I guess some like to round off or lengthen the numbers.

I’ve decided I think I need to buy that shirt Adam’s wearing – love the dark blue shade.

Perez Hilton has Adam on his front page right now’ ¦with some very nice things to say about him!

http://perezhilton.com/2009-10-13-amas-get-glambert-gaga#respond

I remember Clay and Ruben performing a duet on the show, the year they were on Idol. And he won the fan favorite award. I was a fan at that time, and it was exciting for us then.

Re Adam and Kris, I see how it would be disappointing for Kris fans, but there is no denying that Adam has huge popularity in the industry and there is huge expectations for him. Kris can’t compete with that, it doesn’t matter who won Idol.

We David Cook fans are sad too, we hoped he would get a nomination. But congrats to Adam. He’s a huge talent and I expect to see great things from him.

ETA: What date are the AMAs?

I think the Sunday before his album drops ‘“ Nov 22.

PERFECT! He better be on fire…not literally

Thanks, Squirrely. And the HD pic helped, too. I think Adam managed the perfect ensemble–edgy but not OTT.

Thank you BeckyMD for posting those pics. I just love his sense of style. His vest, beautiful blue shirt, and string tie….ahhhhhh. But did he get rid of his blue streaks? I’m going back to look…..

The Getty images are still coming in so keep refreshing the page. Any Getty photos will wind up there.

Wow. All three of them look great. I really, really like Snoop’s and Paula’s outfits, they make them both look terrific. Adam’s outfits always make me go “huh”. Their function isn’t to make him look good so much as to make him look a certain way. Today’s outfit was dressy with great colors and the string tie thing with a vest gave it a little bit of a steampunk edge. He rocked it, but it’s function didn’t seem to be making him look good so much as to provide another visual contrast for us and showcasing his love of dressup.

Adam is not the first Idol Alum to preform on the AMA’s the same year that he was on Idol, Fantasia performed in 2004.

Based on the AMA cast lists, here are the past Idol Alums and related people who have made AMA appearances:

Performers:
Daughtry – performed and presented 2007
Carrie – performed in 2006
Fantasia – performed in 2004
Clay and Ruben – performed in 2003 (not listed on credits)

Presenters:
David Archelutta – 2008
David Cook – 2008
Fantasia Barrino – 2004
Chris Daughtry – 2008
Carrie Underwood – 2008
Ryan Seacrest – 2007
Clay Aiken – 2006
Taylor Hicks – 2006
Katherine McPhee – 2006
2005 – no Idol related presenters
2004 – ? I can’t find the credits presentators for 2004 AMA’s
Paula Abdul – 2003
Ryan Seacrest – 2003

2008 AMA Red Carpet Live! performance:
David Cook – 2008

Note: Jennifer Hudson performed at the Grammys and sang the SSB at the SuperBowl.

I can’t find one good source for this so I may easily have missed someone.

According to wiki, Kelly won the best female pop/rock award 4 times. Wow.

Now mj please clarify, is this thread only for Adam or can we discuss the AMA awards in general, as they relate to all the Idols? No fan wars of course, but someone said “this is Adam’s day” … I’m not sure if the thread is about Adam or about the AMA awards in general. Thanks.

Performers:
Daughtry ‘“ performed and presented 2007
Carrie ‘“ performed in 2006

and Clay and Ruben performed in 2003 (and as you stated, Fantasia in 2004?)

jai rodriquez tweets:

He does the redcarpet pre-show…I forget for which channel

Oceana: I remember Ruben and Clay’s duet. Are you sure Clay did Invisible? I don’t remember that at all. Okay, we need a Claymate. (I want more than a link to wiki.)

wow he is looking gorgeous (and i’m not even an Adam fan..and dont like made up guys)

i like the ribbon like tie and the waistcoat! nice touch….

The show might actually be worth watching this year.

Bring it on, bb! We have high hopes for you! Don’t let us down!

tiger92, that article I linked to said that Clay also did invisible. I don’t really remember what exactly he did. I do remember a duet with Ruben, on some show. Something about Christmas?

Here are some links about Clay and the AMAs:

He performed and won an award in 2003:

Clay presented in 2006:
http://www.thehollywoodgossip.com/2006/11/american-music-awards-rewind-tori-spelling-clay-aiken-mock-controversy/

I think you are right, he only performed a duet with Ruben:
http://www.digitalhit.com/ama/31.shtml
Calling them the “spaghetti and meatballs of music”, Jimmy intros shortened performances by Clay Aiken and Ruben Studdard. The pair then duet on a gospel number.

that other article was wrong.

WOW, Adam is sheer joy. I admire his inner beauty, strength and confidence , his gift for bringing people together to celebrate his gift of music. He is a ray of sunshine and has captured our imagination with love in such a short period of time. He has taught me so much. He is wise beyond his years, a fine example for the youth of today dreams can come true if you stay true to yourself. I could go on and on and on LOL.

oh, schoolmama, go ahead!!!!

Squirrely

Was that a vest over a vest? What was around his neck?
It look like an old west neck tie and I think the style of the vest was to look doubled- very nice get-up

jms

Wow. All three of them look great. I really, really like Snoop’s and Paula’s outfits, they make them both look terrific. Adam’s outfits always make me go ‘huh’ . Their function isn’t to make him look good so much as to make him look a certain way. Today’s outfit was dressy with great colors and the string tie thing with a vest gave it a little bit of a steampunk edge…

I agree, but did anyone notice ALL three are wearing vests, it must have been a theme or an coincidence, even Paula’s little over-blouse is a vest.
And I love the ‘Fancy string-style western style bow necktie’ I think it screams ‘I live for fashion’ and ‘talk about my outfit’ which we are.
love it, them.

Now mj please clarify, is this thread only for Adam or can we discuss the AMA awards in general,

This is NOT an Adam fan thread. Discuss the AMA’s in this thread. I’m deleting posts from peeps who insist on playing moderator

I personally don’t care what Idol has performed on the AMA in prior years. This year Adam is and I am excited. It is an honor and a Pubic Relations Coo no matter if every Idol that ever was on Idol had performed on the show. (Which they haven’t so it makes it even better)

Isn’t the winner of AI always been a presenter? I think Kris will be at the AMA’s and be a presenter.

Bring it on, bb! We have high hopes for you! Don’t let us down!

oy more pressure….I think after this performance I won’t be as nervous anymore…..still don’t know why I get so nervous

Just looked at the gettyimages pics.

If you keep scrolling down the page of pictures you run right into pics of Adam in his “lovely” tour denim vest! HEE! Such a contrast from his look today. Seems like such a long time ago, too. He looked great today. Wonderful opportunity for him. Congrats!

Clay and Ruben did the song “Jesus is Love”. I’m PRETTY SURE Clay did not perform his single. Their duet was very good. Of course, they had both done choir in high school so they could harmonize.
I think I read where Adam took two choir classes a year in high school. Plus, you can’t be in musicals and not know how to sing harmony parts. I guess the AMAs weren’t interested in a duet this year.

ETA: ooops-I see where Oceana posted it was just the duet. I didn’t think Clay performed his single-that would have been a real slap to Ruben.

Personally, I think this is one of the very best roll-out campaigns for a “new” artist, ever. Everything is working like a well oiled machine and timed down to the last nano-second. Of course, some things are spontaneous like tweets and blog entries, but the big stuff is to well orchestrated to be happenstance.

I think a decision was made, early on, that Adam wasn’t going to be force fed to the public without making sure every t was crossed and every i dotted. I’ll bet his single has been “marked” for a while if not out right chosen….I bet graphics for its cover are well in the works. We know that his album shoot was months ago and I am sure they weren’t just selecting a picture and throwing graphics on it…but that the entire thing was going to be selected as a finished concept not bits and pieces.

I get an impression that between RCA, Adam, and 19 a decision was reached early on that this was going to be a “no expense spared” roll-out. Adam seems to be business savvy enough to “think” that money spent up front will reap rewards in the future and his label and his management apparently agree. I don’t think Adam cares about getting rich quick or striking while the iron is hot. His team seem to be very well aware that he has created buzz and that being patient isn’t going to eliminate it…it will just make it stronger and louder.

Just like his tour talk and his “lets wait to see how the album does” is a bit circumspect. I’d bet my boots that tour talks have started, feelers put out. And the biggest thing of all, that pushes my buttons, is that this doesn’t feel like a post Idol campaign….in fact, Adam being an Idol alumnus seems to get lost in the shuffle.

So….more patience. ’cause its all going to be good.

“Are you sure Clay did Invisible?”

Invisible had already been released to radio and Clay sang a very abbreviated version of the song on the AMAs (less than half the song), then Clay and Ruben sang a duet of “Jesus Is Love” (full song). Clay’s album had already been released in mid-October before the AMAs.

Thanks mj.

Yes thanks MJ

The performers have not been announced yet, maybe Kris will perform too. (though I wouldn’t get my hopes up).

fuzzywuzzy, thanks for explaining why it was stated in that article that Clay sang Invisible. It makes sense now.
From this, it sounds like Ruben might have sang a shortened version of his single also, before they did the duet. That makes sense.

Calling them the ‘spaghetti and meatballs of music’ , Jimmy intros shortened performances by Clay Aiken and Ruben Studdard. The pair then duet on a gospel number.

I think America is famous for freedom of the speech. why my comment erased? dont understand all I say is Adam is a zeus and others are good too.

Adam looks fantastic!

I’m glad Paula got to read nominations too. Glad she’s still in the center of things and not forgotten.

We will all have to wait and see how good Adam’s cd is. I agree Adam is getting the most buzz, but sometimes the ones who are getting the MOST buzz have the MOST to prove and nobody can live up to those high standards.

I also think most post-Idol cds are not very good because there simply is not enough time. Their second cds are usually MUCH MUCH better than the first.

Personally, I think this is one of the very best roll-out campaigns for a ‘new’  artist, ever. Everything is working like a well oiled machine and timed down to the last nano-second.

So far 19 and RCA is doing a great job promoting Adam. I can’t think of anything better than performing live on the AMA’s 2 days before his debut album drops. Plus, he sang the theme song of one of the big block buster movies this year. If the songs they pick are good, Adam is going to have a huge crazy year. lol

I’m glad Paula got to read nominations too. Glad she’s still in the center of things and not forgotten.

Yup! And I read she’s starting her own music label. It’ll be interesting to see what type of acts she signs.

Adam denounced the rumors of touring with LadyGaGa but most of us realized that her tour was too soon for him to get involved anyway.

Wow! The AMA’s are a major award show, but there is no good source of info. Really frustrating. I went back and updated my post with the additional Idol performances. They are not on the credits, so it is hard to find everything.

- AMA credits for 2003 and 2004 do not list everyone who presented and performed. So the list I put together could be incomplete.

- Odd that Kelly has never even been a presenter. But I can’t find any references to her being on the show accept for winning awards.

- I am still trying to find a similar AMA performer to Adam, but it appears that no one has ever been scheduled to perform on the AMA’s before they had at least a single released. And I’ve gone back 12 years. It could actually be the first time but there are over 30 years of AMA’s and no central “academy” keeping records.

A few days ago I said I didn’t think Adam would be able to perform at the AMAs unless 19 scrapped their protocols since he was runner-up and Kris won.

Now? Now I’m beginning to think they’ve shredded them unless there is an announcement about Kris performing on the show as well. I’m not at all sure such an announcement is forthcoming since I haven’t heard a word about Kris’ Rolling Stone cover. Has 19 entered a Brave New World?

I am, of course, thrilled for Adam, but also happy for Carrie and Daughtry, just disappointed for Cook (and Kelly, tho having won in the past, and w/ her album sort of taking a while to gather steam, I can understand why she was omitted this year).

I agree, tess. This roll-out was extremely deliberate, and I am sure that it was in conjunction with Adam, 19/RCA, and possibly his producers (not so sure about that). We heard little from Adam, and that was not a coincidence. This just sort of seeped out, little by little to build excitement. And here we are…

Thanks everyone for all the links to the pictures and to the YouTube of the nominations announcement! You all are why I love this website! Adam looked great (as did Paula and Snoop Dogg), and I love how Adam loosened things up with his laughter. He is just a natural in front of the camera!

beautiful adam
is the vest new? looks familiar

The AMA’s will be Adam Lambert’s debut performance of music from his forthcoming CD release.

I want to see Adam sing on TV.

Me too! Does debut performance mean that we will not get a TV performance until the AMAs!!! ugh. Not happy about that!

So Today is Adam’s Day? Just Adam? Don’t forget that Carrie and Chris were nominated for awards. They get to share the spotlight in this thread.

I am never for an all Adam or an all Kris thread. I am confused about Carrie and Chris. Isn’t there a thread just above this one that is about them getting nominated. Aren’t we asked to post in the appropriate thread? I’m happy for Carrie and Chris but I thought comments about them would belong in the other thread. I certainly don’t mind reading about them. I’m just trying to get the rules straight.

I have some wise words for Glamberts..don’t put all your eggs in a basket. I can’t help but think of Taylor Hicks, who 3 years ago was also getting this huge buzz and you all know how that went down.

I wish I were Snoop

Paula looks stunning. I was so happy to see this, and so happy to hear how she was excited about Adam on the Seacrest interview.

I cannot believe how many looks we get from Adam…boggles the mind. Those gloves…Oh, and I though Snoop looked very distinguished.

Lindsay Parker got song titles from Cavallo:

http://new.music.yahoo.com/blogs/realityrocks/275141/producer-rob-cavallo-exclusively-discusses-adam-lambert-album/

Wonder if any of them will be the one Adam performs.

Personally, I think this is one of the very best roll-out campaigns for a ‘new’  artist, ever. Everything is working like a well oiled machine and timed down to the last nano-second. Of course, some things are spontaneous like tweets and blog entries, but the big stuff is to well orchestrated to be happenstance.

ITA, Tess. Great points – especially about this not really feeling like an AI alum roll-out. I think things have been amazingly well-planned for awhile now. Way back when they were working on the album photo shoot I had that sense.

We were all nervous and waiting anxiously in idol-land, but in reality, I think the RCA ptb were just waiting for the right moment, when everything was in order. And I much prefer that approach to, say, doing things haphazardly with less planning and certainty.

This goes back to my earlier guess that I’m pretty sure the single has been selected for awhile now – despite what Adam might be allowed to tell us

We will all have to wait and see how good Adam’s cd is. I agree Adam is getting the most buzz, but sometimes the ones who are getting the MOST buzz have the MOST to prove and nobody can live up to those high standards.

I also think most post-Idol cds are not very good because there simply is not enough time. Their second cds are usually MUCH MUCH better than the first.

Normally, I would agree with this. But I’ve never seen anyone get the buzz and admiration Adam is getting from people in the industry that he is working with.
Some say why woudn’t they be all positive and OTT for Adam because they are also promotiong themselves that way. If that’s true, then why don’t we see these kind of tweets, blogs etc. about everyone they are working with?
Glamour, I am a huge Taylor Hicks fan, but his buzz was from his fans, not so much the entire music industry.

Tess

in fact, Adam being an Idol alumnus seems to get lost in the shuffle.

So true. I sometimes forget myself about AI until I come to an AI blog. In real life conversations AI is never mentioned, gone are the days when I used to have to preface my statements with “Adam Lambert the glam rocker from AI”. Now it seems everyone I talk to – friends and acquaintances usually when 2012 comes up – just recognize the name Adam Lambert, and considering where I live, that alone is an achievement.

Wasn’t the AMAs a bone of contention with Clay and 19 and led to his suit to get out of his contract. I thought that he was royally pissed that he was “forced” to share the spotlight on a lot of promo opportunities with Rueben…it was like 19 said “If you want Clay, you’ll take Rueben or no Clay”. When this came to a head is when the Idols were no longer attached at the hip and did and still do head out on their own after the tour.

And just for the record…Kelly has won only 1 pop vocalist award. She has also won 2 AC awards and the “T-mobile” text in award. And an ac and a pop award came in the same year.

Lyndsey Parker just tweeted 3 Adam Lambert song titles!!!!!

And any hope of finishing my work today just evaporated.

Lindsay Parker got song titles from Cavallo:

Wonder if any of them will be the one Adam performs

Squee! Thank you, sidewalk story! I’m glad it was Lindsey that got a scoop. Rob Cavallo says such nice things about Adam’s talent and how nice he is. He sounds so excited about “Adam’s Sound”.

@Sunn, NO KIDDING!!

I posted in headlines thread.

I know that Adam is an amazing singer and performer and I can understand why there is so much buzz about him. But if the AMA’s decide to give Kris the consolation prize of being a presenter I hope that he,very politely, tells them to go to hell.

This might be a first where a brand new artist was asked to perform solo before their album and/or single was even released.

I’m very excited about what this means for Adam promotion wise. This is HUGE to perform in front of a non-AI crowd on a general music award show two days before his album drops. If (no WHEN) he knocks this out of the park he could become a global superstar instantly.

I wish I were Snoop

Oh, wow! Those are some GREAT pics! And the Snoop/Adam pic is too cute – lol – I didn’t think I’d ever be writing that sentence! Snadam is real – j/k

I love Adam

I’m not really up on hairstyle names and may be way off base, but when I saw it I immediately thought “bouffaunt emo” because it has so much height. Not even sure if I spelled that right, but that is what I am calling it.

Anyhow, he sure did look gorgeous!!!!

Tess, you nailed the whole Adam roll-out. I also think that the soundtrack song was a careful part of all of this. RCA is covering all bases with this guy. They know that the single is going to be completely Top 40/electronica/glam so they are also making sure that Adam has a classic rock ballad to showcase his vocals at the same time. All bases covered.

Just checking in….WHOOO HOOOO!!!! Good– no– FABULOUS news this morning!!!!!!!!

octobor 18th!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Lindsay Parker got song titles from Cavallo:

http://new.music.yahoo.com/blogs/realityrocks/275141/producer-rob-cavallo-exclusively-discusses-adam-lambert-album/

Really great interview…awe everyone really loves working with Adam!

“I have some wise words for Glamberts..don’t put all your eggs in a basket. I can’t help but think of Taylor Hicks, who 3 years ago was also getting this huge buzz and you all know how that went down.”

No offence to Taylor Hicks, (I don’t know much about him and didn’t watch idol that year) but Adam Lambert seems to have the whole package. Looks, incredible vocal range and the ‘it’ factor that is making people like Brian Mays be ‘moved to jelly’ when listening to him. Meatloaf even said “I don’t think anybody comprehends how good this guy is”. Again, nothing against Taylor, and I could be wrong, but I think it’s ok for all my eggs to be in Adam’s basket.

someone recap the list please – some of us can’t see/hear video…
thanks in advance…

13 pieces STRING ORCHESTRA for TFM AND another song!!!!

Wow. That’s a swell interview with Rob Cavallo. Thanks!

13 pieces STRING ORCHESTRA for TFM AND another song!!!!

I think he said 30 piece orchestra for TfM and 2 album songs.

The AMA’s will be Adam Lambert’s debut performance of music from his forthcoming CD release.

Notice that the press release was carefully worded to not rule out debut peformances of music NOT on his forthcoming CD release, i.e. Time for Miracles. I would be very surprised if Lambert weren’t booked for any promo appearances between now and November 22nd. I would be that there will be some Lambert sightings around the time of the 2012 openings worldwide on November 13th.

A few days ago I said I didn’t think Adam would be able to perform at the AMAs unless 19 scrapped their protocols since he was runner-up and Kris won.

I think this may go back to the idea that this is not necessarily an AI deal – I think as we get further from the S8 finale, and the “AI related PR appearances” that are tied to that, it will become much more of a – each of them will perform, etc. where they’re invited to and are able to. No longer as much about who won or lost.

After all, Kris has gotten a lot of gigs (and even a tour starting this winter, iirc) already lined up that Adam, as far as we know, doesn’t.

Glamour, I am a huge Taylor Hicks fan, but his buzz was from his fans, not so much the entire music industry.

That was my sense too. I was not a big Taylor fan that year, but a big Daughtry fan instead, and from my pov, Daughtry was getting the kind of Adam-type hype, specifically from OUTSIDE the AI-bubble (as in, getting the other music groups interested in him, lots of buzz within the music industry. Just my sense of things.

Becky, I think he said, 30 piece, not 13.

We have 3 of Adam’s Song titles: Winners, Music Again & Suburban Decay. All of which sound promising & are Cavallo tracks.

There is a 30 piece orchestra on his album, I understood it’s for one of the album songs. .

There is Glam Rock and Electro Pop songs on the album. A Glam Robot invasion sort of thing. It has classic rock elements in it but very modern.

Adam can actually sing every note on the guitar, from the lowest to the highest.

And I’m officially in love with Lyndsey and Cavallo!!!!!

OMG.

Super SQUEE! on the Rob Cavallo interview. Cool about Adam’s range-so true when Adam says that his voice is his instrument-he is truly gifted.

lehommeAdam-I think Adam is more of an Apollo than a Zeus….

Wow. Fangirl Lyndsey (along with Fangirl Laura Saltman, who actually got to INTERVIEW Adam today) must be dy-ing (like many of us are). Finally, the name of the songs. Thanks for the link to the Rob Cavallo interview. I hope there are many Adam interviews in the next few days (probably after they release TFM on Friday, anyway).

No word from Aimee Mayo yet.

ETA: 30 piece orchestra? *pinching self*

13 pieces STRING ORCHESTRA for TFM AND another song!!!!

Did he say two other songs? I’m so excited. Adam’s Sound! It also sounds like they allowed Adam to influence things a lot.

ETA:

And I’m officially in love with Lyndsey and Cavallo!!!!!

Me too! I’m glad that such an Adam fangirl got the scoop.

Wasn’t the AMAs a bone of contention with Clay and 19 and led to his suit to get out of his contract. I thought that he was royally pissed that he was ‘forced’  to share the spotlight on a lot of promo opportunities with Rueben’ ¦it was like 19 said ‘If you want Clay, you’ll take Rueben or no Clay’ .

Clay had all sorts of bones of contention and I didn’t blame him. Maybe 19 learned something from that?

someone recap the list please ‘“ some of us can’t see/hear video’ ¦
thanks in advance’ ¦

what i can remember (some memory might lost after recovering from flaid)

- Cavallo is doing 6 songs for Adam’s album plus TFM
- TFM should be out on 10/18
- Adam can sing all note in a guitar, he is nicest guy to work with who just want to do a great job, he is fun to hang out with
- Two songs have 30 pieces orchestra (thanks guys for correcting me), TFM and another one. Adam’s tweet was when they recording the other one.
- Some song titles
winners
music again
suburban decay
- def rock in those Cavollo is working on
- He kept saying ‘those are something NEW’. (i’m excited!!)

Q3
I think he said 30 piece orchestra for TfM and 2 album songs.

I thought I heard 30 piece too, for 2 other songs in addition to TFM.

One of the big pieces of news in the Cavallo interview was that Time for Miracles full version will be unveiled on the 18th.

Sounds like next weekend streaming followed by iTunes release on Tuesday the 20th would be logical. It’s likely the music video will go up simultaneously, actually, the video is probably how the song will be introduced.

I have some wise words for Glamberts..don’t put all your eggs in a basket. I can’t help but think of Taylor Hicks, who 3 years ago was also getting this huge buzz and you all know how that went down.

I think Adam’s buzz is closer to Clay’s than Hicks’.

That said, I think Adam is in a better position than those 2 because he has a clear shot at the pop charts and is working with some very current people. He’s also as close to a lock internationally as you are gonna get. Still no guarantee he’ll be an instant megastar but he should have some solid success, at least. He’ll get to a second album, that’s for sure.

And as I’ve said a million times, he’s going to have one hell of a christmas season. LOL.

someone recap the list please ‘“ some of us can’t see/hear video’ ¦

anninsd, I posted the songs at 2:39 already. here they are again:

Cavallo said:

Adam can sing every note on the guitar – 4 octave range (1 of the most talented singers he has ever worked with)!

He says the album is a “glam robot invasion thing”

3 song titles

Suburban Decay

Sunn – Thanks more than I could have expected from a recap – thanks again

We have 3 of Adam’s Song titles: Winners, Music Again & Suburban Decay. All of which sound promising & are Cavallo tracks.

AHHH! How much flailing can I actually fit into one day!!!

Stupid Yahoo vid will NOT play on my laptop now (I always have trouble with them) so hopefully someone will post on youtube.

Thanks for the recaps, everyone!

Oui!!!!I love interview je t’ aime but of course our Adam can sing all cords!!!I’m happy again Merci Kiss to all of you talk to you soon. Au revoir!!

Glamour, I am a huge Taylor Hicks fan, but his buzz was from his fans, not so much the entire music industry.

Who exactly in the industry is giving Adam buzz? I may be out of loop on that one.

Taylor Hicks was also getting tons of buzz. Tommy Mottola, who is a giant in the music industry was giving Taylor tons of praise, as well as various other artists and performers. As I recall, Michael McDonald wanted to work with Taylor.

I’m way under productive today. Maybe MJ will put up another thread for Cavallo’s interview. There is no way I can catch up with all these Adam (related) threads

Adam Storm officially arrives.

OK…for you knowledgable music geeks out there….what is the range of a guitar…how many notes (steps) and compare low to someone and high to someone. I’m dying here.

Oh, and in the interview with Cavallo he says that Adam is very hands on and has a lot of input and that he sings things he likes.

eta: And Glamor your concern is noted and I am sure many of us who think that Adam is going to the top may be dissapointed…because, as you say, the hype has happened before. As far as industry insiders we have been priviledged to have many well known musicians, writers, singers, media personnel, talk show hosts and hostesses, actors and actresses either tweet, blog or speak out about their favorable impressions of Adam. We are hoping that these insiders are pretty savvy and have an “eye for talent”.

I LOVED that interview with Cavallo!!! We actually learned something new— Adam’s fantastic range.. he can sing every note on the guitar… to three song titles.
He has a NEW sound that is wholly his own, according to a man who has worked with countless other artists. That’s saying a lot!

Cavallo is a veteran that everyone in the industry respects. Anyone sqying Adam has undeserved hype — or saying he may not make it outside the AI bubble– take a listen to what the top INDUSTRY people are saying.
There is no doubt in my mind that Adam is hitting big. And will be big. And have a long career.

I thought I heard 30 piece too, for 2 other songs in addition to TFM.

That’s even better!!!

(I failed in numbers today. )

FLOVE that interview. Real scoop from inside the music industry! Cavallo and Lindsey FTW!!

No offence to Taylor Hicks, (I don’t know much about him and didn’t watch idol that year) but Adam Lambert seems to have the whole package. Looks, incredible vocal range and the ‘it’ factor that is making people like Brian Mays be ‘moved to jelly’ when listening to him.

Also strongly in his favor – Adam is a million times more relevant to the current music scene than Taylor (who, imo, was never going to burn up the Top40 charts, no matter how successful he became in other genres)

Adam, otoh, has a strong inclination toward what’s hot and current in music today, and a great appreciation for hot, current artists. That, by default, makes him a lot better positioned for chart success today. Not that anything is guaranteed, it just puts him in a better position.

Sunn ‘“ Thanks more than I could have expected from a recap ‘“ thanks again

You’re welcome bb. You have no idea what a pleasure it was for me to write that recap. I’m still not over the joy of that interview.

OMG!. Black Swan Please god.

Cavallo also said that Adam is a very nice guy who’s fun to hang with and is hard working.

He kept repeating the word new in reference to the music and said this is Adam’s style and it’s new.

I’m still squeeing, so excuse me for the slightly disjointed thoughts.

I am going into Adam overload. I didn’t know everyone was still in this damn thread, lol. 3 song titles, sings every note on a guitar, he’s bringing something new, it’s definitely got rock elements. I think my head is going to explode.

Is this an Adamstorm?

Suburban Decay

I like this title a lot – it sounds like a cool album title too

Adam Storm officially arrives.

That’s right! Amidst all the excitement, we didn’t quite acknowledge the insanity we’re in the midst of, formally known as the Adamstorm!

Lyndsey scoops!
Rob Covallo ‘Adam is probably one of the most gifted singers I’ve ever recorded..he has a limitless range.. he actually can sing every note that is on the guitar – lowest to highest- a very unusual thing and he is the greatest, nicest guy.. fun to hang out with. He comes in and wants to do a great job. We have some amazing songs.. we’re all happy.. he has a lot of say in the production.. he has to love the song to sing it. TFM will be released 10/18 had a 30 piece orchestra as well as 2 of the songs he cut for his album.’

It is Adam’s sound, new, different, great, awesome according to Rob.

Music Rob recorded is glam rock, electropop, classic rock elements, modern dance-pop.
eta: sorry if this is a repeat recap. so excited. saw requests for a recap

Adam can sing every note on the guitar ‘“ 4 octave range

OK, I think I have the transcript from the Cavallo interview. I listened over and over. Here is the beginning:

Adam Lambert is probably one of the most gifted singers I’ve ever recorded. He’s unbelievable. He’s got a limitless range. He can actually sing every note that’s on the guitar from the lowest to the highest. Which is a very, very unusual thing. And he’s actually the greatest, nicest guy. He comes in. He just wants to do a great job. He’s fun to hang out with and I think we have some amazing songs.

OK, I just listened again. Mine is exact. Behive, you have to add the part about limitless range.

Where’s luv? I am afraid that she might explode when she gets here.

From Cavallo:
“Really what you want, what’s the new Adam sound going to be?”

I guess we’ll find out soon…but not soon enough!!!

flail
squee
rinse and repeat

ETA: Yes, the Adam Storm has officially arrived.

Cavallo said:

Adam can sing every note on the guitar ‘“ 4 octave range (1 of the most talented singers he has ever worked with)!

Adam’s range continues to amaze me. I feel like I could listen to him sing scales.

Adam’s favorite holiday may be Halloween but this sure feels like Christmas. So many great presents today

This was definitely worth the wait! No umbrella for me, just gonna enjoy the storm. That interview with Lyndsey was almost too much to take in at once. All the pieces are falling into place for Adam. SQUEE!

Cavallo thread is up! thanks MJ!

Daughtry was getting the kind of Adam-type hype, specifically from OUTSIDE the AI-bubble (as in, getting the other music groups interested in him, lots of buzz within the music industry. Just my sense of things.

I heard way more about Chris than Taylor outside of the AI bubble. I wasn’t in the bubble then. I watched the show and went to the concert but didn’t follow it on line like this (I was an Ace fan and he got no love outside of AI).
With Adam people outside of AI would tell me things they’ve heard, grant it was a day late and a dollar short, but it was good they were hearing it.

Imagine how proud all Adam’s vocal teachers are!!

Who exactly in the industry is giving Adam buzz? I may be out of loop on that one.

Greg Wells, RedOne, Rob Cavallo, Meatloaf, Brian May, to name a few…..really it’s been anyone who has heard him recording or heard his new stuff.

wanted to add…who needs to play the guitar when you can sing like one LMAO

OMFG! I have been out all day, and I come back to 3 different threads for Adam, and this exciting news. My hands are shaking, I cannot believe our dreams came true. Flailing!!!!!

Baby you deserve all these amazing things that are happening to you. I for one will follow you in your way to stardom!!!!

Going to read all the threads (at least skim through them).

Who exactly in the industry is giving Adam buzz? I may be out of loop on that one.

Seriously?
Brian May, Slash, Katy Perry, RedOne (who called AI himself wanting to work with Adam, not the other way around), Jaime Foxx, Robbie Williams. There are quite a few more- I just don’t remember them all…

Where’s luv? I am afraid that she might explode when she gets here.

LOL! Too true! In honor of her – all I have to say is:

OMA – what a great day for Adam news!!!!

I heard way more about Chris than Taylor outside of the AI bubble. I wasn’t in the bubble then. I watched the show and went to the concert but didn’t follow it on line like this (I was an Ace fan and he got no love outside of AI).
With Adam people outside of AI would tell me things they’ve heard, grant it was a day late and a dollar short, but it was good they were hearing it.

Yes, this was my sense too. I didn’t follow the online chatter after S5 as much as now, but did love Chris.

As for this year, Adam is definitely by far the most recognizable person from AI S8, from an outside perspective. People who don’t watch the show are most likely to know him (or no one at all).

Overload of Adam today!!! Fucking fantastic………. mrgreen:

I dont even know where to start……….I’m so happy for him…..Now I have to watch the AMAs, LOL!

Cavallo said:

Adam can sing every note on the guitar ‘“ 4 octave range

Cavallo said limitless range, not 4 octave range.

Greg Wells, RedOne, Rob Cavallo, Meatloaf, Brian May, to name a few’ ¦..really it’s been anyone who has heard him recording or heard his new stuff.

LOL! Yes – too true

Taylor was black-balled in the industry from the very beginning. They tried to make Taylor into a Michael Bolton type of pop star, which was all wrong for him. There’s no doubt in my mind they gave him crappy songs and controlled the whole process, something Arista is famous for. He didn’t sign with 19 and 19 threw all their support to Chris Daughtry. Taylor was made an example of to future Idols…”this is what happens when you don’t sign with us”.

That’s what happened.

Adam can sing every note on the guitar ‘“ 4 octave range

Cavallo said limitless range, not 4 octave range.

OK, then how about at least a four octave range

moved to Cavallo thread

Ok, sure. Adam has a limitless range. He can sing any note ever imagined. When he appears not to be singing it’s only because he’s humming notes only dogs can hear.

Okay, who was it that said last night that they were flailing like an epileptic octopus? Well, that’s so totally ME today! It just keeps getting better and better. We still have the Dish of Salt and the afternoon scoop!!

And of all days to be swamped ‘“ damn you, RL!!

Adam Storm!!!!

Wanted to ask you all. On the Seacrest interview when the TFM clip was played, did it sound a higher quality than the the youtube clips we have heard? It did to me. I could hear more of his vibratto this morning. I think it is going to sound better than I thought. and i thought it already sounded good.

Ok, sure. Adam has a limitless range. He can sing any note ever imagined. When he appears not to be singing it’s only because he’s humming notes only dogs can hear.

LMAO!!

A Fender Stratocaster, tuned conventionally, is just a hair short of five octaves.

It starts with E on the open bass string and goes up to E four octaves higher at the 12th fret on the 1st string and then you have nine more frets above that which brings up up to C#, just short of the fifth octave.

My favorite 3 words in the interview ‘New Adam Sound’ .

yes, I love the idea of a new adam sound! That’s what he wanted, to bring something fresh and new and from the sounds of it, he’s going to get what he wants. I hope people are open to something new!

Also interesting when he said that Adam can’t sing something he doesn’t feel regarding Adam’s role in song choice. Sounds to be like Adam is really getting some choice on the songs he’s recording.

I really had a feeling that Adam would be very heavily involved. He’s worked towards this for too long to just hand over the reigns to someone else and let them do it all. I think he works very well with others and that will make for some great stuff.

I loved that Rob was so effusive in his praise, especially about what a great guy Adam is! The more you hear people who’ve actually worked with him talk the more ridiculous the diva rumors sound.

Ok, sure. Adam has a limitless range. He can sing any note ever imagined. When he appears not to be singing it’s only because he’s humming notes only dogs can hear.

Whether he has a limitless range or not, that is what Cavallo actually said – keeping the quote straight.

I know that’s what Cavallo said, but it doesn’t make it literally true. Let’s put it this way: Cavallo’s vocabulary is more limited than Adam’s range.

OK, I know some people don’t like Adam’s vocal style, but he is a uniquely talented vocalist.

Regarding Adam vocal range — although Cavallo said it was “limitless”, I think that Adam uses almost his full upper range without loosing his vocal quality — Bb5 is rare for any man. But I don’t think we have ever heard his full lower range — which is the surprising part.

Also, his breath control, register switching/blending, pitch, volume control, diction, and projection are not like any other pop singer. And his vocal runs are so unique, and beautiful.

But to me the most surprising aspect of Adam is his versitility. It is really possible that he could have both a Power Rock Ballad (TfM) and an Electro-Pop Noveau-Glam song (TDM single) on the charts at the same time. And still sing a show tune better that SuBo!

When he appears not to be singing it’s only because he’s humming notes only dogs can hear.

I did notice my dogs bouncing around to something that I couldn’t hear. Now I understand why.

This is really all exciting news. The management for Adam appears to be pulling out all the stops, and doing an amazing job. Add in Adam’s talent, (what a range!), his excitement about what he’s doing, his charisma, and all, and it looks like he can really go far. Yes, time will tell, but it’s sure looking promising so far.

A 30 piece orchestra on a couple of songs? They’re not cutting corners!

It’s sounding like Aimee won’t be getting the first single–I hope that she survives, if that’s true. LOL. But, we’ve got 3 song titles for sure, and I wonder if one of those will be the single. Any guesses? Winners, Music Again, and Suburban Decay. I like the idea of Suburban Decay being the first single, though if I knew what it sounded like, I might change my mind. But, it’s a title that sticks in your mind, which is a good thing.

Well, so much for sneaking away from work, and who needs lunch anyway.

Adam Storm has begun!!!!

So Today is Adam’s Day? Just Adam? Don’t forget that Carrie and Chris were nominated for awards. They get to share the spotlight in this thread. Speculation on whether Kris will present or not is also welcome. If you’re looking for all adam all the time? Find yourself an Adam fan forum.

Oh wow, the headline completely misleads me then!

I know that Adam is an amazing singer and performer and I can understand why there is so much buzz about him. But if the AMA’s decide to give Kris the consolation prize of being a presenter I hope that he,very politely, tells them to go to hell.

I understand how you feel, but isn’t this idea based on the idea that, if someone wins out in one competition for a prize or a job or a scholarship or whatever, then that exact same person deserves to win out in every subsequent competition? And that surely can’t be right. Very very very few horses win the Triple Crown, and those horses have usually lost a race or two here and there themselves.

And when you don’t win in a given competition but do place or show, isn’t it sort of incumbent on you to recognize — in public, at least! — that in fact *nobody*gets picked for everything, nor should they, and be gracious about it? I mean, if Kris is supposed to say “bug off” to the AMA people, then doesn’t that sort of mean that Adam (and Danny and Allison and so on) should have shouted a big “FU!!!” to the home audience of American Idol for having the bad judgment to eliminate them in favor of somebody else? Stomp off and tell all us voters to go to hell? And, boy, we would not be happy with any of them who rejected their second- or third-place finish with that kind of response — we (rightly, I’d say) expect them to be more gracious than that!

In the real world, Kris is going to get some great opportunities that the opportunity-givers feel are a good fit for Kris and Adam is going to get some that the opportunity givers think fit Adam. When it comes right down to it, each might think he’s a better fit for something the other gets, and be mad about it…. But I don’t think throwing it in somebody’s face is a move they’d be glad about a few years down the line.

On the Seacrest interview when the TFM clip was played, did it sound a higher quality than the the youtube clips we have heard?

The YouTube clips are horrible quality. They are the AOL clip which is already pretty low digital resolution, converted to analog, then re-ripped to even lower digital quality.

The only decent quality is the orginal AOL video snippet and even that is probably no better than 64kbs audio. Poor at best.

beehiway: Wanted to ask you all. On the Seacrest interview when the TFM clip was played, did it sound a higher quality than the the youtube clips we have heard? It did to me. I could hear more of his vibratto this morning. I think it is going to sound better than I thought. and i thought it already sounded good.

Yes, the version Ryan played sounded like it was better quality to me, too. I imagine everything they put online will be reduced quality and that only the real release and radio versions will be HQ sound.

But if the AMA’s decide to give Kris the consolation prize of being a presenter I hope that he,very politely, tells them to go to hell.

I would guess that any new artist would LOVE the opportunity to be a presenter, and be thrilled to be able to have that chance to promote themselves, (get their name out to a larger audience), and make connections with everyone at the AMAs. I think anyone would be shooting themselves in the foot if they turned down the opportunity, if offered, (unless they really were unable to attend due to prior commitments.) I wouldn’t see it as a consolation prize, but as a fantastic opportunity. Post-AI, it’s not about the AI show anyone–that competition is over. They’re all moving forward with their own careers, and will all have different opportunities. It’s got to be an exciting time for them all.

Kris might very well perform on the AMAs also. We don’t know that yet!

Yes, today to me is Adam’s day. Buying tickets to see him at the award show. Very happy and excited for him.

But if the AMA’s decide to give Kris the consolation prize of being a presenter I hope that he,very politely, tells them to go to hell.

Not sure he”s even being approached to begin with..but hopefully he has enough common sense not to refuse such an offer! Why would he do that?

To be perfectly honest, it appears the man can sing notes that only dogs can hear.

I remember the very clear cell cast for the Chicago concert when Adam sang WLL.

At one point, he hit such a high note that people in the chat room at the streaming cast typed in “dogs barking” “dogs” and at that same time, my dog ran out of the room.

My dog also growled and snarled that night in her sleep through out the entire night for the first time ever – and has never done it again.

And she (my dog) was in the room with us for ever single cellcast during the tour. Just that one note affected her during the Chicago performance.

I think that he hit a special pitch that night during that wonderful performance that actually was some type of a primal sound that affected canines.

Adam is spectacular, and this event truly amazed me.
I believe he truly hit a note so high that the human ear could not hear it that night.

Yes, today to me is Adam’s day.

Oh yeah!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I think any publicity Adam receives right now benefits Kris, and Kris’s benefits Adam. At this point it keeps both of them in peoples radar. That may not be true in the future, but for now I think it still is.

Ok, sure. Adam has a limitless range. He can sing any note ever imagined. When he appears not to be singing it’s only because he’s humming notes only dogs can hear.

My very confident vote for quote of the week even thought it’s only Tuesday. yay!

I love this guy. I can’t even believe how much I love this guy that I’ve never even met. I’m sooooo happy for him. And I love that he’s so down to earth: “gotta see how this record does”. I think that’s something some people that post here should have in mind before imagining him on tour with Michael Jackson, Elvis, Fred Mercury and Jonh Lennon, winning the Oscars or the grammy for best singer and performar ever! Let’s just see how his record does first (don’t put so much pressure on the poor guy).
I really like TFM (the snippet that’s been leaked), but I have a feeling that Adam is not exactly a fan of the song. I mean, he said it was a beautiful song, but he was pretty enfatic in saying that his own music would be something entirely different. JMHO.
