Adam Lambert’s Killer Tour Jacket

I’m loving it!!!

I already said this in Adam’s twitter- but to me it is very Mad Max – The Road Warrior. Beautiful work.

You cant hug him wearing that without getting stabbed, can you?

Adam’s going to look amazing. I bet SkinGraft’s sales are going to go through the roof with Adam hawking and wearing their signature clothes. Beautiful and high quality.

Nice!

I’d still hug him.

Can’t wait to see him in that jacket! Fierce! I’d still hug him too!

It is the jacket from 20/20 right, with some added accoutrement (shout out to dictionary.com for the spelling), right??

What? Skingraft? this is the first I’m hearing about this. heh. =)

That is some jacket right there! Wow!

Hey Calliope, I sent you an email.

I would say let’s go into chat, but I can never log in. It says my password is wrong.

It definitely lives up to its hype, heh.

This looks like that jacket he wore for WLL. I love it!

Hey Calliope, I sent you an email.

I saw and responded. Once again thanks for giving me the option to go see Adam’s jacket!

Yes, it is the 20/20 jacket! But I love the mods. Now I want to see the whole thing!

Is this completely sick. I am here, late at night, have a big project due tomorrow AM, and I’m writing comments about a jacket.

Must focus and get centered. There are more important things. Must get back to reality. I am supposed to be working and not thinking about Adam’s jacket.

OK cool. Good night y’all.

But that is a killa jacket!!

I also said this on his twitpix but I gotta say it again: THAT is the luckiest jacket in the world. :clap_tb:

Very rock starish ! It’s everything he said it would be. I can picture Adam’s jacket some day being on display in one of the windows at the Hard Rock Cafe !

Wow…amazing! It really lives up to Adam’s hype. I love the color. Can’t wait to see the whole thing.

That is one fierce jacket, and I bet Adam is salivating at the idea of wearing this every night. No after-show Kradam cuddling till Adam takes it off.

Nice! I love the color. And the spikes, of course!

Those are some fierce accroutrements on that jacket — very cool!

Psst. Somebody tell Adam that an evil possessed baby ate a bedazzler and then spat up on his shoulder. It could happen to anybody, really. Okay, maybe just to Adam.

Seriously, I kind of get the rest of the jacket, but what’s with the splotch of goo on the shoulder? I know it’s trying to make a statement, but I’m not sure it’s actually speaking or having a seizure.

You cant hug him wearing that without getting stabbed, can you?

LOL, you’re funny! I’m sure he will take it off before coming out and meeting fans! probably he’ll wear a blue shirt when hugging fans! ah!! already excited when picturing the scene!

just a sneak peak! but he said there’s gonna be TAIL!
can’t wait to see the whole thing!

I agree (I like the rivets and spikes and all). And it is so cute how Adam has a command of the french language. He is so smart and amazing.

That jacket won’t be at the Hard Rock Cafe.

It will be in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame!

OMG! Kathy Griffin & Adam Lambert on Larry King Live – NOW THAT WILL BE A KICK ASS INTERVIEW!!!

I’m sure he will take it off before coming out and meeting fans!

Actually, I think he might have designed the jacket with “meet and greets” with fans in mind. ;P I’d be nervous about some of his fans if I were him!! What did Matt say about some of Adam’s gifts?

omg!!! adam you are so inventive…..love it !!!! you will kill it!!! will be seeing you in tulsa……..that is the only reason i will be there is for adam!!!!ROCK ON!!!!

OMG! Kathy Griffin & Adam Lambert on Larry King Live – NOW THAT WILL BE A KICK ASS INTERVIEW!!!

Oh no. This makes me more than a little nervous. Absolutely none of this interview will be about music. It will entirely be jokes about the “crush” and ALL about Adam’s sexuality. Mark my words. Kathy Griffin isn’t capable of more. I thought we’d just moved past all of that… Not the best idea career-wise IMO.

You cant hug him wearing that without getting stabbed, can you?

I think that’s the idea.

OMG! Kathy Griffin & Adam Lambert on Larry King Live – NOW THAT WILL BE A KICK ASS INTERVIEW!!!

I can see it now:
Kathy: Adam, will you be one of my gays?
Adam: I don’t think it’s about sexuality Kathy, I’ll be one of your guys.

Bestudded Adam! That has a nice ring to it!

It looks spray-painted?

Adam and Allison look really cool. Megan is pretty. Does anyone else also think Matt looks somehow like Will Smith?

ETA: Sorry if it has been posted. Anyone have a large version of it?

Ok—-are y’all joking or is adam really scheduled for larry king with kathy???? I need the answer soon so i can try to sleep—–this jacket has me really excited and i have to wake up at 5 for work!!!

yeah, im not sure how i feel about a kathy griffin interview. i find some of her stuff funny but im really tired of her “my gays” shtick. she makes them sound like collectors items for crying out loud. and i think that his sexuality shouldnt be in interviews at all anymore, but there is no way an interview with kathy wont include it. on the other hand she could bring out some comedic zingers from adam which i always love.

i could see him being comfortable telling her upfront that he doesnt want to focus on his sexuality, so maybe that’s something. she also likes talking fashion and fame which might make for some fun talk. my main worry is that she probably wont have a handle on good music questions to ask and that is what he should, and probably wants to, talk about most.

OMG! Kathy Griffin & Adam Lambert on Larry King Live – NOW THAT WILL BE A KICK ASS INTERVIEW!!!
=========
I dont know how I feel about this yet. This can go down as an epic failure with all the gay stuff Kathy will be throwing around. On the other hand, ADAM ADAM ADAM.

Wow, the jacket! The spikes could keep fangirls from throwing themselves at him and drape their arms around him (I was planning on doing that!)

I bet SkinGraft’s sales are going to go through the roof with Adam hawking and wearing their signature clothes.

This fantard (guilty, embarrassed, but proud to be helping out the economy) went to a store in SF that carries Skin Graft. Sadly, they didn’t have anything in my size, and ended up buying a different designers’ leather jacket to wear to Adam concert. No spikes though. Don’t want to hurt Adam.

I never got Kathy Griffin’s jokes. Didn’t think they were funny or smart.

If this thing was exhibited on The Fashion Show or on Project Runway, the judges would rip the designer to shreds! My God, it’s like some nightmarish pastiche from a 6th grade art class project…at a school for the blind!! Actually, no. It’s not quite THAT good! I mean, come on! Spray paint, hot glue and those metal things from around my leather desk chair?! Are you freakin’ kidding me??

LisaE said: “I’d be nervous about some of his fans if I were him!! What did Matt say about some of Adam’s gifts?”

What about Adam’s gifts !?? What did Matt Giraud say?? Can someone enlight me please?

Thansk

Mmmm that looks so fierce, can’t wait for the tour vids! It’s going to be so amazing!

It’s how Adam carry those jackets. Whatever he wears becomes fashionable. His fan color is blue/ silver, right? Got to buy one tomorrow.

That jacket won’t be at the Hard Rock Cafe.

It will be in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame!

I hope I’ll be around in 24 years to see that happen!

I sort of thought it is a jacket Michael Jackson would like. TOO much MJ the past couple of days.

Adam and Allison look really cool. Megan is pretty. Does anyone else also think Matt looks somehow like Will Smith?

Some of them look weird in that poster. Scott looks like a matronly woman, Danny looks like he’s trying to hard to look cool, yes Matt looks like W Smith. Are those old pics? Anoop looks young and has more facial hair now. Haven’t seen Lil with her short hair for awhile.

What about Adam’s gifts !?? What did Matt Giraud say?? Can someone enlight me please?

Matt said (some of Adam’s gifts were so … that) he didn’t want to reveal what they were.

The blue honestly looks pretty sloppy to me, I don’t like that part. But I do like the spikes. Adam may not have been my favorite and I may be called gay for saying this, but if Adam wears that jacket at a meet and greet I would have to take a freaking picture with that jacket. I’d either borrow it or take a picture with him. I don’t think it would be my style to wear it. Adam’s a bit taller than me I think, so it might not fit me right, either. But damn those spikes are awesome, I’d grab Adam, make a clone of him with that jacket, freeze him and use him as a weapon. Adamace.

BeckyMD, Matt was asked during his Comcast chat: what’s the craziest or most unusual thing a fan has sent you? After his response, he added: “I know Adam’s gotten some gifts I probably couldn’t mention!”

I was jokingly referring to that and a lot of other things I’ve seen tweeted at him and on message boards. All I gotta say to some of it is WOW! I’d run so fast in the other direction. So, if he’s up for a lot of “hugging” at meet and greets, he’s a brave man.

The jacket is nothing until Adam puts it on. Only then will it’s essence be revealed, lol.

I think he is gonna get a kick out of wearing it, that in and of itself will make it an event.

“Rock star” is as much about image as it is about music, and Adam is very well aware of this–and dresses the part. I love this jacket and know that it’s not something most people would ever consider wearing, but that’s the point–it’s OTT for a purpose. I can’t wait to see it in person–and I’ll bet it will look fabulous. Tails, baby!!!

A poster over at TWOP went to a tour rehearsal. It is the 11th post down from a poster named alumnathe. Later on the poster says Adam’s set list is the following (performed in this order at rehearsal):

Whole Lotta Love
Starlight
Bowie Medley
Mad World
Slow Ride

Also, this jacket is a stage outfit, not something to be worn in every day life. There’s a huge difference design-wise. I’ve been a performer (dancer) for 18 years, and the costumes that look the best on stage from the audience usually look horrible and tacky off-stage. I think this is a piece like that, which will look absolutely fantastic on the big stage. I’m going to the Portland show in 3 days, so I guess I’ll be among the first to find out!!! Whoo!!

Allison just tweeted a pic of Kradison and Gokey.
http://twitpic.com/93z99
Adam looks purty.

But Adam has kept saying he closes his set with a Bowie Medley???

Matt was asked during his Comcast chat: what’s the craziest or most unusual thing a fan has sent you? After his response, he added: ‘I know Adam’s gotten some gifts I probably couldn’t mention!’ 

Happy to get confirmation Adam has been receiving my gifts.

I am getting green with envy. I want so bad to see and hear Adam live. I even went to a travel agency to find out if they had any package for the AI tours as they have for U2, but NO, they don ´t have, and the ticket is too expensive. Crossing the Atlantic to be in the US for 2 or 3 days is too expensive for me I will have to content myself with the videos and comments made by the lucky goers.

Love the jacket. A great wrapping for the gift inside.

Btw, I think the poster is lousy.

(listening to ROF to console myself)

Being that you only see one part of the jacket, it reminds me of some sort of an undiscovered animal. I think it’s the spikes.

It’s the sort of thing though that will look good on stage but not for day-to-day wear. Do you think he will have to tell fans where he got it from on the
Idol tour?

I laughed when I saw that Adam’s jacket has its very own post here!

I had a migraine from going over financial reports and opened my personal laptop and saw this … chuckling. Migraine gone.

What is it about Adam that even his jacket gets whole lot of attraction not just attention ?

Except for Madonna’s famous cones , I cannot recall any talk of any piece of costume that calls for such global conversation.

I hope there are plenty of paramedics around during the Live Concert . I think there will be an epidemic of fifth degree swooning . The only remedy would probably be smelling salts derived from the famous jacket.

I am thoroughly amused.

I laughed when I saw that Adam’s jacket has its very own post here

I too got a chuckle out of it. What is even funnier is the fact that it is generating so many posts. Good times, people, good times. :laugh_tb:

Didnt MJ just copy and paste posts remarking on the jacket over from the other thread? Or I’m seeing double?

One word…FUCKING FIERCE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! (Apologies Kara!)

Again , thanks to the jacket, my migraine is gone .

This jacket actually reminds me of a fashion accessory line we did where pyramid studs, spikes , grommets, riveted epaulets, were prominent. It was called urban warrior.

There’s something so edgy and sexy about studded clothing and accessories that most women and even men, find very irresistible

he’ll be like a rhinestone covered porcupine…

Love the jacket, love even more that the first thing he twitpics about is the jacket…he has a serious crush on that thing.

Can’t wait to see it live.

BeckyMD and LisaE ..Thanks for awnsering my question!

Still not really sure what the deal is with that sprayed blue paint… I am sure it will look great on Adam since he has been very comfortable wearing almost anything over the season.

Not sure if I like this kind of look. If he wants a good look that might suit him, perhaps he might contact Gareth Pugh, the lastest enfant terrible of London fashion, for something dark and sexy, gothic but modern, as well as adventurous and theatrical –

I despise KG, absolutely despise her. It’s probably to promote the tour but why not send Kris instead? I have to think about even watching it I hate her so much.

…and that jacket seems like a bit much. Have to wait to see it on him.

I was just thinking about Michael Jackson – he made jackets famous all the time.

I loved his ‘Beat it’ and ‘Bad’ jackets, but I never understood how people thought they could pull off the ‘Thriller’ jacket in everyday wear.

Interesting Hazehel! I can see Adam wearing some of the jackets shown in the the forst thread but some were just … I don’t know, too weird? And there are no spikes! But Adam should really check this guy out.

He should really hook up with some designers, he must be a dream for some of the more OTT designers out there.

None of these seemed Adam-ish to me – to Matrix like in some of them.

Designers usually tone down their stuff they put on catwalk shows when they make clothes for actual normal wear, but the more outrageous ones might be suitable for concert shows. Here’s Beyonc wearing some of Gareth’s designs (they don’t suit her BTW, Beyonc doesn’t have the edginess to wear those clothes) -

http://fashionjunkii.blogspot.com/2008/11/beyonces-gareth-pugh.html

Adam however has the edgy look to look good in Gareth’s designs. I think Adam would look great in those stringy shirts and trench coats.

The studs and spikes are just, I don’t know, so clich.

Still not really sure what the deal is with that sprayed blue paint’ ¦

It’s to complete an ensemble, with the other part being his hair.

Can’t wait to see the entire bespangled, bestudded masterpiece (including contents, and hair) live and in person. Sure to excite! LOL

If Adam’s excited about the jacket so am I. He’s fabulous no matter what he wears.

I think Adam can hold his own with Kathy Griffin!

Actually we’ve already seen him wear the jacket sans spikes in the 20/20 interview. I think he looks great in it. It completely suits him.

See 1:50 where he’s flirting with the SkinGraft designer

She’ll turn into a fan girl too

Oh I know Adam can hold his own with KG…….I just can’t stand looking at or listening to her. Blech……

ive seen the picture pf KRAdisonny at the other post.. they are really cute love them all especially adam and allison

By the way….no blue spray paint on this jacket. The leather is dyed pre-sewn. It’s a pretty expensive process…the blues look different as the fabric refracts the light. I’d guess this jacket is a few thousand bucks worth of glam for Adam.

aw..Adam’s first twit pic :clap_tb:
How cute was for Adam to tweet himself :wub_tb:

They should give it to him free for all the advertising he’s giving them.

Kathy’s offensive but very funny. Larry King loves her and she’s frequently on his show. She loves gay guys and she’ll love Adam. I bet he’ll love her too. What night is it on? I don’t want to miss it.

Of course the jacket is ott, it’s supposed to be. I would expect no less from Adam and would be disappointed if he gave less than a spectacular show. Which he won’t, he knows how to put on a spectacle and it’s going to be really exciting to witness.

Depends on your sense of humour I guess……

According to the live journal comment, Kathy will fill in for Larry “next Friday, not this Friday” (but I’m not sure when it was posted so keep an eye out).

Awesome!

Depends on your sense of humour I guess’ ¦’ ¦

Yup that’s right it does. A lot of stand up comedy turns me off, but for some reason I like Kathy, even though she crosses the line sometimes. I’ve watched all her D List shows, there’s a new one on right now. She seems determined to make people hate her, but there’s a vulnerability under it all and basically, I think she’s a good person and also very very funny without even trying. She tends to put herself down more than anyone else. Which is a bit sad.

She’ll turn into a fan girl too

Kathy Griffin has always been an Adam “fan girl” — I recall reading that she was one of his celebrity fans fairly early on. I expect this interview to be one of his best, despite the doubts being expressed here. She respects him as a performer, and I don’t think she’ll be asking him the same tired dumb questions he always gets. Plus they should be hilarious together.

In the first thred, there are some jackets I can see Adam wear. Check out 0:48, 1:33, 1.37 and 1.53. Those could work. Some stuff are really too feminine though (in my opinion) and some tend to be a little bit too much matrix-y. I think Adam should go for an edgy, tougher look but with warmth in it, matrix stuff has a tendency to be cold. I like the jacket at 0:48, it looked really well made, a lot of sewing details.

Well people will have to tell me about it cause I won’t watch it live even for Adam.

seems determined to make people hate her, but there’s a vulnerability under it all and basically, I think she’s a good person and also very very funny without even trying.

Well she’s succeeded with this person!

One thing about that butt ugly jacket, I sure hope he doesn’t hurt himself with those spikes. Throw that jacket on a chair and then sit on it. OUCH!!

Remember that orgasmic yes, yes, yes, Kara let out after Adam sang WLL? That was pretty much my reaction after seeing the picture of his jacket. I cannot wait to see him up on stage wearing it!

karenw on another thread said something funny about the jacket: Loving the sneak preview of ‘the jacket’  .. and yes it looks like it could do a bit of damage ‘ ¦. one badly judged slap on the back by someone could result in them having their own personal Adam stigmata
Adam stigmata :lol_tb: Okay, the jacket gets its own thread–either that or it’s Adam-poster crowd control for us.

I laughed when I saw that Adam’s jacket has its very own post here!

HAHA!, I know it. Only Adam, right? Soon, The Jacket will have its own Twitter page.

Anyway, very cool jacket. And with all those studs and rivets, I now understand why he said it was “being built” for him.

And with all those studs and rivets, I now understand why he said it was ‘being built’  for him.

I can still see the assembly line running…………………….. The Exclusive Glambert Line at Skingraft

It looks like Adam is getting “star” treatment from the techies in Portland. The person who was at the rehearsal said the other contestants had two or three techies doing stuff on stage. When Adam appeared, about ten appeared out of the woodwork, all surrounding him and wanting to be near him. Some were even getting in his way. The person at rehearsal seemed to imply these people were not really needed, but they were just hovering over Adam.

I don’t mind her, I liked her on Suddenly Susan, I have not followed her much after that. I knew she was a huge gay supporter most of my male gay friends LOVE her.

I’m still wondering how they are going to do the interview since the idols are supposed to be in Sacramento next Friday.

Do we even know this interview with KG is for real?

I love the fact that “THE JACKET” has it’s own thread ….. Adam will be so happy …..lol

I hope he wears some sort of boots to match.

As for the tour poster .. not really loving that .. the girls look OK but it’s very unflattering to a couple of the guys .. Danny and Kris in particular .. Kris is such a nice looking pretty boy and it just doesn’t do him justice at all.

.. plus Adam looks like he’s giving the finger … a well manicured black nail polished one … ha ha

There are 2 Billboard vid interviews up with Adam (saw links on Twitter) pretty sure they aren’t here on the blog yet, but don’t know how (or if I am allowed) to post the links! Help anyone??

The Jacket is awesome!

Love the fact that a post about Adam’s jacket has nearly 100 comments while Kris’s behind the scenes video only has about 26, haha.

(nothing against Kris, it’s just that Adam is … well, Adam!)

Later on the poster says Adam’s set list is the following (performed in this order at rehearsal):

Whole Lotta Love
Starlight
Bowie Medley
Mad World
Slow Ride

Hmm — could have sworn Adam said the Bowie Medley would end his set. Otherwise, the order makes sense, but if Bowie is last, I would switch SR with Bowie. Starting with WLL will be a Whole Lotta Awesome! I’m SO glad he’s singing that song on tour (one of my favs from AI, and one of the best, imo, to see live!)

Yep there is a really good shot of him in the jacket (complete with tails) on the 20/20 interview, you can really see the blue in the leather, it’s awesome! and the designer or sales guy or whoever he is, is totally flirting with Adam lol!

If he wants a good look that might suit him, perhaps he might contact Gareth Pugh, the lastest enfant terrible of London fashion,

Oh, Pugh! Le sigh. If only I had the dinero, I’d dye my hair black and never eat carbs and wear Pugh… I don’t know about Pugh for Adam. He’d look amazing in some of those trenches especially, but I sorta imagine in his heart of hearts Adam’s always been more glittery than gothic. I’m not surprised he’s veering towards the bestudded and bedazzled. And lolz to 100 odd posts about a jacket. Huzzah for fashionista Idols!

You cant hug him wearing that without getting stabbed, can you?

LOL! Oh, no! Keeping the rabid fans at bay

I too love the jacket, but even more, I love Adam’s excitement about the jacket! (Yeah, US Weekly Kradam interview: “My JACKET!”)

But after seeing a recent pic of one of Lady Gaga’s costumes, Adam’s got to step up his game!

http://putu.us/singers/lady-gaga-performing-at-the-2009-muchmusic-video-awards-in-toronto-june-21/

Love the jacket. Love Adam’s glittery, be-studded, fierce self. Can’t wait to see it in person!

There are 2 Billboard vid interviews up with Adam (saw links on Twitter) pretty sure they aren’t here on the blog yet, but don’t know how (or if I am allowed) to post the links! Help anyone??

they are in the 7/3 headlines LisaE posted them

Loving the jacket; it’s glittery, fierce and other-worldly ‘“ a custom fit. About the tour song order, I did read the report on TWoP and that was the rehearsal order, but Adam has definitely said he was closing with Bowie, so hmmm, it’s confusing. Maybe they just changed up the rehearsal order because Allison had to be elsewhere. It didn’t sound like it was a dress rehearsal. I guess we’ll know when the Portland spoilers come out ‘“ YAY!

About Kathy Griffin, I’ve read (yes, third-hand information) that she was a huge Adam fan from the beginning, so I’m not too worried. I think it could be fantastic. Initially, I wasn’t a big fan, still have little use for “Life on the D List,” but one Sunday, Bravo was running a marathon of her stand-up and I started watching it for some reason. Before long, I was in tears. She is crazy fearless (like Adam), but I have to say, I laughed my ass off.

I think she’ll be more fangirly than anything else. And I think Adam will definitely give as good as he gets.

Later on the poster says Adam’s set list is the following (performed in this order at rehearsal):

Whole Lotta Love
Starlight
Bowie Medley
Mad World
Slow Ride

This running order puzzles me a bit, firstly because of what Adam has said in a couple of interviews about him ending his set with the Bowie Medley and also because the poster on TWOP mentions this:

There’s a riser and dry ice like what Adam had for Mad World. Danny almost fell into the riser when he was trying to make a cool move.

If there is a similar lift thing to what Adam used for his entrance for Mad World at the final, I can’t see them missing the opportunity to use it again in the same way on tour .. which would mean that if the above order is correct then Adam will have to leave the stage after the Bowie Medley and then come back on via the riser for Mad World … of course it would also make a fabulous entrance if he used the same effect to start his set off with WLL.

It just seems a strange performance order to me .. ending with a ballad after such a high energy set and the Bowie Medley … to me it would make more sense to open up with Mad World then really get the crowd into a frenzy with the other numbers

Mary102, with all due respect Adam doesn’t need to step up his game in the costume department. He is not competing with Lady GaGa or anyone else. He wears what goes with the music!!!!

This JACKET ROCKS!!!!! Adam will look AMAZING in it as he does in everything he wears! The man has STYLE!!!

ADAM ROCKS MY WORLD (ROCK & SEX GOD)!!!

ADAM IS PURE PERFECTION!!!

thanks Suirrely!

It just seems a strange performance order to me .. ending with a ballad after such a high energy set and the Bowie Medley

Not if he’s slowing it down so it’s not such a drastic jump from his set to Kris’s

That may not be the order, he said he was ending his set w/ Bowie countless times

Not if he’s slowing it down so it’s not such a drastic jump from his set to Kris’s

But then the order posted seems to indicate that the Alison/Adam Slow Ride duet would be between Adam and Kris’s set .. which isn’t exactly slowing it down.

But I guess like others have said it may just have been a sound check kind of rehearsal and not a full run through in order.

Maybe Alison and Adam will both enter together with the lift? Then Adam could do WLL, Mad World (to give his vocals a break and more dramatic effect, cuz he is good like that), Starlight and then Bowie Medley. I also seem to recall Adam repeatedly saying he is closing his set with Bowie.

Want to add that Kris really does not need babying from Adam. He does not need Adam to “slow down” for Kris. He can hold his own. He doesn’t go at full blast like I personally like, most of the time, but he does sing beautifully. Sometimes we all need our ears to rest. It will be a nice, probably dramatic transition from Adam to Kris, just my guess. :smile_wp:

Hazehel, Not sure about Gareth Pugh’s clothes for Adam. They look a little too Darth Vader meets Alice in Wonderland for my taste. Altho I did like some of the trenches.

I do like the “tease” of Adam’s jacket. I’ve liked all the jackets he’s worn so far.

Adam said somewhere that he closes his set with the Bowie medley and I hope that’s still true. Maybe they do need to slow things down for Kris though. He’s a mellow guy.

The jacket is fierce. Totally fierce.

I dont understand this talk of having to slow it down for Kris? Kris doesnt need any slowin down, he is capable of putting on his own version of a rockin show!

But after seeing a recent pic of one of Lady Gaga’s costumes, Adam’s got to step up his game!

he should totally have fire coming out of his ‘python’.

Because it’s a completely different vibe. It’s like Jason Castro following David Cook. You can either jam on the breaks or ease into it.

Mary102, with all due respect Adam doesn’t need to step up his game in the costume department. He is not competing with Lady GaGa or anyone else. He wears what goes with the music!!!!

But if there is a chance for flames to be shooting out of this thing, I want to see it :biggrin_wp:

I think I just need a Lady Gaga/Adam duet where they just go all out in the costume, theatrics department – that would be hot!

But I agree, the jacket, and Adam’s set, will be on fire anyways!

And as for song order, either SR or Bowie Medley will be high energy, and a good way to end, but based on what Adam said, I’m going with Bowie ending the set, unless, for some logistical or other reason, they decided to change it up.

IIRC most of the AI shows had the riser, similar to what Adam used in the finale in MW – and something like that has been used by the idols before to make their entrances. MW starting the set with this kind of entrance would be awesome, but then again, WLL, with those opening rock chords, may be the PERFECT way to introduce Adam and start his set.

Oh, the excitement!

I rather like the new set list order, if that’s what it turns out to be. Kind of calming down and “wrapping it up” to round out his set. I think either song order will work out, and I trust Adam’s instincts. Maybe he changed his mind or is trying out different possibilities.

And I think SR ending the set would be about as high energy as the Bowie medley – so either would work fine. SR just has some crazy happy energy surrounding it, with the Adison interactions to add to the effect. I think I’m looking more forward to seeing the two of them together on stage performing than of necessarily hearing the song again

If they could just work in some Kradam moments too (say, during the closing group number) I would be on cloud 9!
