American Music Awards 2009 – Live Blog!

Love Janet…yay! Sweatin’ to the oldies

Ugh. Hate to start out on a negative note, but Janet’s lip-synching again. It bugs me, sorry. Hope this isn’t a sign of things to come tonight.

ETA: Now she’s singing live. Yay!

If Adam lip syncs, I am throwing out my Adam Official Fan Club…everything. God, she doesn’t even lip sync well. JEEZ.

Is there a live stream anywhere? Kinda stuck behind a computer tonight…

Carrie looks adorable!

Janet jackson lip- synching was horrible. Bad way to start out.

Yikes. Janet’s outfit was terrible and her lip-synching was obvious. The dancing was okay, but nothing we haven’t seen before.

It’s up on MJ’s thread…this is going very slowly…sigh, MJ, too many peeps?

Bummer, wanted Kings of Leon to win.

Paula is beautiful and seems sober.

ETA: congs to BEP. I like several of their songs.

Daughtry sounds very good.

Daughtry moving closer to country rock lately huh? He is really good, though

YEAH showing ADam enjoying Shakira perforamnce

Are we back? I was unable to access the site for a while.

So far, the performances have sucked imo

So far, the performances have sucked imo

If you want to see it online, there is a live stream at this link:

http://www.justin.tv/eventz

I think we are back finally..yay!

I just dont get Sha-KILL-her!
I know her hips dont lie but whutever

the only redeeming thing so far for me was the cutaway to Adam LOL!

What’s up with the AMA’s, so far the performances have been lacking. Janet was boring, Daughtry was okay and Shakira, I can’t even explain that performance. I hope the show improves, because it’s been a dud so far.

Daughtry moving closer to country rock lately huh? He is really good, though

MTE. First performing in CMA and now performing right after a country reward in AMA?

Well, Janet was a bust. So was Shakira. I’m not a fan of Daughtry, but yeah, he can sing. Thank you Daughtry.

So glad BEP won over Nickelback. Sorry Kings.

I can’t understand the appeal of Rascal Flatts, and I do like country. Talk about nasally is form of singing.

Showing Adam during Shakira. His parents are here! Yay!

The audience looks bored!

No Rhythm Nation from Janet

Janet lip sinking, not good.

I love Daughtry so much, but I pulled his earpiece out. There must be a sound issue going on.

at least I know lady gaga will bring it

I thought that Paula looked good tonight. I wanted Kings of Leon and Sugarland to win in the first two awards.

Adam was enjoying Shakiras performance, who was the blond next to him? And hes got the aisle seat, Cool!!!

daughtry sounded country to me. is he crossing over soon?.
paula looked hot. saw Adam enjoying shakira lol. his mum is sitting next to his PA.

I wanted Kings of Leon as well, but no way could they win a popular vote over BEP

Yay, Keith is a hunk and a half.

I saw Adam, his blond handler and his mon.

AW, Kris duet song.

Keith and Kelly will get the show on track!!

Awww… last time I heard Kiss a Girl was the finale… I miss Kris’s happy shoulder.

Is this the song Keith sang with Kris in the finale?

ETA: Question answered, thanks.

says something about the show so far, when Keith Urban is the best

He is quite adorable, though

AW, Kris duet song …. it sounded so good with Kris

yes, will

jms
11/22/2009 at 8:28 pm

at least I know lady gaga will bring it

So will Kelly Adam and Carrie. Keith Urban is doing quite well and so far the best of the night

yes, it is, will…

go keith. i luv that you can sing and have fun on stage which makes me have fun. ty not to mention how enjoyable you are to look at.

Keith Urban has a nice bootie!!

Mercy me, Keith Urban, he was better on the Idol finale.

Would have been a perfect time for Keith to debut a new song. Heard this one several times.

Paula is beautiful. Music too loud over Daughtry’s voice and it appeared he was screaming. Keith is great.

Keith has over sang this song…sing somethin else please.

Not to be TOO shallow, but NICE pants, Keith!!

Keith hair are NOT good

Man, Adam looked nervous! Calm down baby, you’re gonna be great!

“I kissed a girl”… Where is Kristopher?

Wow! The Keith Urban performance is lacking some Kris Allen.

Yeah!!! Kelly!

Kelly!

AW Kelly looks good

Ahhh.. Kelly. You look and sound beautiful. Nice arrangement.

is this ‘already gone’ that Kelly is singing?

Yeah!!! Kelly! Her voice sounds better live than on her single, which is so overproduced, takes the pretty grit from her voice…

It’s so effortless for her

Kelly!! TY for bringing it. You’re gorgeous, baby. She’s so goood.

WOW…Kelly. THe best voice in the business! No one compares to Kelly.

First and BEST Idol ever…

Is it wrong for me to want Kelly to sing something else? She’s been pimping this song for so long. She sounds great though, of course.

Kelly.

Is this live version a bit different from the studio one?

So far Kelly and Keith are the only ones who didn’t lip sync.

I’m liking Kelly. Sounds better than the radio version.

Gotta love Kelly.

Kelly sounds so good. This song is amazing.

Mercy me, Keith Urban, he was better on the Idol finale.

That’s because KRIS was singing with him!! :LOL:

So far Kelly and Keith are the only ones who didn’t lip sync.

And Daughtry?

Kelly sounds so good!!!

love Kelly…..love her little shrug

Daughtry didn’t lip synch

I am going to try one more time to say how much I love Kelly and now I am going to have to Tweet. I will see y’all tomorrow (except I will try for, you know, ADAM).

Kelly is totally schooling the others on how to do it right.

Where do I start with Kelly. Bad hair and bad outfit, plus a bland performance.

Kelly reinforces the point that if nothing else, Idol champs and runner ups are good live singers.

Oh yeah, I forgot about Daughtry. (not a fan, LOL)

Is this live version a bit different from the studio one?

Oh yes! Don’t you remember “Halo”-gate?

yeah cutting to Adam giving her standing O

Noticed that too, Jersey.

Adam has silver nailpolish on!!!

Yay…standing O for Kelly….well deserved

Would love to see Adam’s rings up close. He gave Kelly a standing ovation.

Oh, good, it worked. OH, ADAM SIGHTING!!! lol Kelly sounded amazing and DID NOT LIP SYNC. Neither did Daughtry. Carrie won’t either. THE IDOLS DO NOT LIP SYNC.

In Los Angeles, so stuck watching eyewitness news until the show starts. But…….nice interview with Adam on the news here on their red carpet special!!!! He talks about performing for his idols and gives shout outs to his fellow idols. He says he’s excited about all of them, especially Kelly, because “she can sing her face off.”

Aww, they showed Adam again, clapping for Kelly. Sweet…

They got the show rolling, now it’s only going to get better. Also looked like she got a standing O!

cut-away to Adam. He looks fantastic. Seemed as though a couple of fingers had white nail polish. Maybe it was the lighting. Nice rings too.

Janet did the thing. I guess it’s a matter who u like cause Daughtry & Keith and Kelly put me to sleep. Shakira and Janet kept the energy up definitely. I don’t really care about lip syncing cause really does it matter.

Way to go Kelly!!!! Awesome.

Ever since the Yankees won the world series, they’ve been playing the Jay-Z, Alicia Keys song on the radio all.the.time. here in the NY metro area. They played it live at the end of the Yankee ceremony at city hall (without Alicia though, just Jay-Z) I have heard it constantly this past month.

Wonder how many times they are going to cut away to Adam tonite?! Twice so far…not that I am complaining AT ALL

I thought Kelly looked elegant and classy and that she sang really well (and I loved seeing Adam applauding her).

I don’t know if this was already mentioned but it looks like Adam’s dad is there too. So far I’ve only like Kelly’s performance.

So far Kelly and Keith are the only ones who didn’t lip sync.

Shakira was singing live, but with backup singers.

way to go Kelly!

Is it my imagination, or are they showing Adam a lot in the audience.

Kelly was amazing and cool that Adam and Carrie gave her a Standing Ovation. Homage to the original American Idol and still one of the BEST.

http://www.twilightcartel.com/click-to-watch-mtv-music-awards-live/

Yep, lip syncing is the new definition of superstar. Kelly sounded great and Keith is awesome. I missed Daughtry, but I bet he sang in real time.

cruising twitter during the commercial break, and I found this tweet from a pop culture reporter (greg hernandez) from the red carpet:

Nicest star on entire red carpet was Odol champ Kris Allen. Got nice interview and pics

and

Kris Allen is so tiny I could stuff him in my pocket

Kelly sounded beautiful! I was hoping she would throw in a few lines of “Halo” but I suppose that would have sparked more (unnecessary) controversy. Still, a gorgeous performance from her!

Taylor Swift won over Gaga and Beyonce???

wow, taylor swift beat GaGa – that was a surprise!

I hope GaGa wins over Taylor Swift. Oh, come on. And she isn’t even there? Geez…….At least Kanye is not the hell there.

So sick of T-swift

To introduce Jay-Z. Yay AROD!!!

Kelly’s performance was breath taking. I will bet that Kelly’s, lady gaga’s, Rihanna and and Alicia keys performances will be the only one’s that will be remembered after tonight. (not saying the other’s will not be good but not as memorable)

Omg why does Taylor win EVERYTHING? She is a sweet girl but Gaga deserved that.

I agree except I would add Adam to that list. IMHO We will see!

Adam is now a top 10 search for yahoo.

love the New York song!!! i don’t buy singles but i got that one

BeckyMD
11/22/2009 at 8:43 pm
Taylor Swift won over Gaga and Beyonce???

Talk about a fan base, that girl has a huge one.

I’m digging Alicia and Jay-Z.

Alicia can sing her ass off!

Wow Jay-Z and Alicia sound great, best performance by far tonight.

Alica and Jayz are good but I don’t think outstanding. Kelly is a hard act to follow!

Omg why does Taylor win EVERYTHING? She is a sweet girl but Gaga deserved that.

it’s by popular vote… so she deserves it i guess

Jay-Z and Alicia are great. Alicia’s voice is amazing.

undercooked
11/22/2009 at 8:47 pm

Adam is now a top 10 search for yahoo.

He has been all day! Glad to know he is still there!

I can’t believe Alicia is singing live. She’s just sounds so amazing, stand aside Jay-z

Alicia is really good. I’m digging this song b/c of her.

I don’t know dhunken. This is pretty fantastic to me.

So far Kelly and Keith are the only ones who didn’t lip sync.

AS MJ noted, Daughtry did NOT lip sync either.

Wow Jay-Z and Alicia sound great, best performance by far tonight.

Yep. Kelly was good but Jay-Z and Alicia have a great energy.

Alicia keys one of the best voices in R&b music

can they stop showing Perez!!

Love Alicia keys!!!

Alicia was great but not the guy. Ugh.

That was fun. Too bad they’re not in New York.

I will bet that Kelly’s, lady gaga’s, Rihanna and and Alicia keys performances will be the only one’s that will be remembered after tonight.

Hi skat-girl@allycatlover! I see you omitted a name off that list, an oversight I’m sure….

Like Alicia Keys but Jayzee, eh?

i love alicia keys. Now THAT was a great performance!!

OMG Christian, dress up a little.

Glad Christian Slater dressed up for the occasion.

Loving the show so far. Hate how the biggest stars have had to lip-synch. cough** Janet, Shakira… Well Shakira was singing about 30% but I was not impressed. (And Nicole, comb your man’s hair!)
Kelly killed it, it was subdued but fantastic vocals!!
Adam is sitting along with both mom, dad, and publicist(?). She’s the blonde that’s always with him at functions. Got a glimpse of the whole gang when they stood for Kelly.

Did Taylor Swift know in advance that she was going to win? Because that segue to the UK was a little too seamless.

Hi skat-girl@allycatlover! I see you omitted a name off that list, an oversight I’m sure’ ¦.:)

your wrong no oversight

wow, Alicia and Jay-z was amazing!! Yay, for green-day, even if this is my least favorite record of theirs.

Billy Joe Armstrong was coherent.

11/22/2009 at 8:49 pm

I don’t know dhunken. This is pretty fantastic to me.

Don’t disagree I just thought Kelly had a more organic performance. It maybe just as simple as I like the song Already Gone better then the Alicia and Jay Z song. But no denying she is an amazing singer and performer because she makes that song!

“A performance by Adam Lambert you have to see to believe.” Saving the best for last as usual.

LOL….you have to see to believe…my husband said oh no.

Yeah, Adam’s performance is considered the one to watch tonite– he is gonna be the news tomorrow,I can just feeeeeeel it!

Man they just pimped Adam, a performance you have to see to believe!!!!!!

” And a performance by Adam Lambert you have to see to believe”!!!!!Ahhhhhhhhh!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Green Day is pretty much royalty for the AMAs. Cool that they won!!
I kinda bummed that I KNOW I will see at least three more lip-synced perf.
Sybil, I’m sure they told Taylor, “hey -you’ve got 4, soooo tape those and we’ll be all set. Act surprised, k thanx!”

A PERFORMANCE BY ADAM LAMBERT U GOTTA SEE 2 BELIEVE ..

*flailing*

BTW, Alicia Keys, yes, A-Rod, EPIC FAIL WRONG, Jay-Z, meh

#

LOL’ ¦.you have to see to believe’ ¦my husband said oh no.
#

LOL is right. It sounds like it’ll definitely make an impact. Can’t stop giggling here.

Kelly was impeccable. LOVE LOVE LOVE HER, and I love that song stripped down like that. Just. Gorgeous. Alicia and Jay-Z were AWESOME. Love that song too. Those are definitely my two favorite performances so far tonight.

And can I just say that this week’s Modern Family looks like it’s gonna be HILARIOUS? I love that show. One of my favorite new shows this season.

Wow Jay-Z and Alicia sound great, best performance by far tonight.

Yep. Kelly was good but Jay-Z and Alicia have a great energy.

I agree, they had great energy and the crowd was really into their performance.

I am so giddy right now…I feel like I am watching AI again…so nervous and excited.

I started to wonder if that Jayz Alicia thing was ever going to end! Yikes, but I did not like any part of it and it was endless.

Yay for Green Day!

Love the “Have to see it to believe it” LOL

FERGIE is FIERCE!

MJ winning!! it’s cool!!!

wow, Cutting to Adam twice during just the BEP song–

Fergie looked fierce but I didn’t think she sounded too hot.

I just don’t get the BEP.

Black Eyed Peas fantastic. See that one “Pea” (forget his name) shaking Adam’s hand as he sings in the aisle.

The site is reaaalllly slow tonight, when it’s not crashing altogether.

kris

Rhianna singing right now. Her set looks cheap.

OMG Rhianna sucks.

omg how much do I hate this Rhianna crap.

A lot. Get off my tv.

rihanna sounds really bad. omg bad

rhianana WTF!!! yuk

What a disapointment Rhianna

She actually sounded off key, didn’t she?

Rihanna SUCKED!

omg note to self never pay to see rhianna.

ha, the Idols are doing the best live!

that was unbelievably bad. Aside from her costume, Rhianna was pretty awful. Is she always that bad live, or was it just that song?

On a better note – Kris ===== cuteness!!

Fergie is pretty but her other guys are some sort of UGLY!

CHRIS_Daughtry In the audience at the AMA’s. Our category was preshow and we lost. Oh well. Congrats Taylor Swift!
10 minutes ago from Echofon

Just think she is one of the big competitions for Adam beginning TOmorrow

What was Rihanna trying to sing, it was awful and she ldidn’t look good.

Rhianna…I just feel bad for her….She should have lip synced.

Love Rihanna..this performance not so much

That performance was horrible! I had to mute it within the first few seconds. Ugh!

AW Daughtry lost to that stinkin Taylor Swift too! Gwad. I can not stand her, well her singing anyhow

Did they bleep Rihanna and a couple of times of BEP? Or is it my TV?

She should of sang Russian Rouhlette

Carrie — sounding awesome. And looking great too.

So it’s now a pissing contest over who can be more OTT?

Carrie sounded okay, but that outfit was horrible.

Is there any livestreaming???

Rhianana was bleeped

Carrie sounded and loked great.

What is the fugly outfit Lady Gaga has on…wow, fire piano! she can really sing, too bad her records are so overprocessed…

I’m just not getting this Lady GaGa performance. I think it’s just weird, not entertaining. Oh well.

Adam shown 5 times now. He’s going to have to leave pretty soon to get ready for his performance. So they’ll have to start showing someone else soon.

I wish I got Lady Gaga… but I don’t. It’s just too out there for me.

I like Bad Romance but Gaga performances are less and less interesting for me

Is there any livestreaming???

HERE

So it’s now a pissing contest over who can be more OTT?

Looks like. Whatever.

Gaga can really sing – what she need all that weird stuff for. I like my music without the weird.

She’s crazy!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

LADY GAGA IS AMAZING!

BEST PERFORMANCE EVER!

EPIC FIERCE AMAZING MIND BLOWING LIFE CHANGING!

*cough* *cough* uh yeah I might be a little over the top

Lady GaGa is so annoying, I’m glad she lost.

Do the AMA’s end at 10 or 11? My roommmate is studying, but I think we’d both like to tune in for Adam’s performance, and it’s toward the end, yeah?

I would have liked Kelly to have won Favorite Pop Rock Female Artist not Taylor Swift.

Nice job by Carrie Underwood! Lady Gaga is pretty good.

Perez Hilton… what a tool.

And did you see how they immediately cut away to Adam after Carrie’s performance?

Ugh, Perez, saying he got makeup tips from ADam!

why ABC/AMA is pimping Adam so hard?

I love gaga, but don’t think that performance was all that. I wish she would have just done the full “Bad Romance”.

Carrie doesn’t seem to be country anymore, and that Gaga crap is way OTT.

AMAs end around 11 pm, and Adam is closing the show

I like GaGa, but she doesn’t need the dramatics. She’s almost become a parody of herself.

Oh so Perez is doing backstage color commentary, that must be where the Red Carpet rumor came from.

See skat-girl@allycatlover the announcer said Adam’s performance would be “the one everybody will be talking about tomorrow.” So you must be mistaken!

Sorry but Lady G did nothing for me. She’s just too weird. Give me Kelly Clarkson standing still and singing her heart out any day.

MJ. Rhianna didn’t perform Russian Rouhlette, she performed “The Wait is Ova”

Rihanna— big meh… not into that
Kris — looks and sounds great but that script…meh
Carrie — looks and sounded great .. she got to omve a bit better in my opinion
Lady Gaga — hate the OTT. Don’t like the songs much but she can sings. I don’t like the weirdo

All the talk pre-commericals is making me nervous…now we have the performance “everyone is going to be talking about tomorrow” lol

will and that is not the first time they said that about Adam’s performance tonite!

Dear Lord, Adam really have to knock it out the box

Adam is comming! Do you handle this??

Okay, gaga performance didn’t work for me. Ugly outfit. But the choreography was energetically uninteresting and strange without being entertaining. Kind of like watching a train wreck.

It’s no secret that I’m far more of a Kris fan than an Adam fan… but I really appreciate Adam’s singing talent. I’m just worried that he’ll end up like Gaga for me… too out there for me to get. I know it’s totally a matter of personal taste, but that whole over the top visual thing has never done anything for me…

why ABC/AMA is pimping Adam so hard?

I don’t know but I like it.

why ABC/AMA is pimping Adam so hard?

I don’t know but I like it.

will,
and that is not the first time they said that about Adam’s performance tonite!

Anouncer said something about Adam’s performance will be talked about tomorrow! Bring it on, BB!

I think they’re pimping Adam so hard because he’s the closing act and they want you to keep watching. Ratings!

Adam is comming! Do you handle this??

The best live stream:

http://www.ustream.tv/channel/wcvb5

So far the Idols have done the best

I really like Gaga as well. The theatrics are getting predictable. I do think she should strip it down and just play the piano, which she does brilliantly. That piano only version of Paparazzi on UTube is really, really enjoyable.

She’s almost become a parody of herself.

Agreed.

This show is a disappointment so far. Should take some pressure off of Adam for the grand finale.

why ABC/AMA is pimping Adam so hard?

Considering some of the acts that they have on this show who are either lacking talent or personality, they are hoping that Adam finishes the show on a high note.

Rihanna performed Hard not Russian Roulette.

Gaga is not for me either. She is just too much.

I hate the banter

See skat-girl@allycatlover the announcer said Adam’s performance would be ‘the one everybody will be talking about tomorrow.’  So you must be mistaken!

eh I think he’s gonna good. I thonk he’s gonna have a hard time taking ‘the one everybody will be talking about tomorrow.’  from gaga. It could be either a epic performance of epic failure. But I thinks its definitely a gonna be entertaining.

I’ve always liked Mary J. Will never forget her “One” performance with Elliott Yamin on AI.

GaGa is a performer. SHe could care less if any of you “get” her. That’s what is so great about her. hate all you want. She has had 5 #1 singles in a row.
She is laughing all the way to the bank

I am so tired to auto-tuned voices. Sounds like they are singing on a video game or something. Kelly and Carrie were great.

Yikes, even Mary J. is hitting some klunkers tonight.

OMA HI GUYS!!!!

I had to stay much longer than I expected so I just got here in time for carrie.I think my master plan is working though.I’m watching it upstairs but my dad’s watching it downstairs.yikes.hopefully he doesn’t watch Adam.Adams so pimped.I’m gonna try to stay and post something tonight when fye is released.sad I missed Kris:(

Standouts so far for me Kelly, Alicia (but not Jay-Z so much) and currently, Mary J. Oh, the BEP were fun enough too.

Adam always ends with high notes, lol

Of course ABC is pimping Adam, he’s suspect zero!

Tweet from Daniel Allen:

pretty sure Mom just recieved a text from Reba McIntire (from Kris’ Phone).. Life is Complete.hopefully she’ll forget bout my stupid tweet 1 minute ago from web

This wait for Adam is killing me. sooo excited and nervous at the same time. I’m watching this live in Hong Kong and haven’t been this much excited for an artist in years.

what is this last award?

wow, GaGa didn’t get the breakthrough artist, just wow..maybe she is becoming a caricature of herself

WOW, thought Gaga had that for sure

WHo is GLoriana?

Mtlfan,

breakthrough artist award–

Lady Gaga sells well, maybe people like listening to her, but not watching her. I have personally never heard of Gloriana but obviously they are pretty popular!!

I have never heard of this group… but they sure look happy. That is so nice to see. Such a breath of fresh air

GaGa is a performer. SHe could care less if any of you ‘get’  her. That’s what is so great about her. hate all you want. She has had 5 #1 singles in a row.

I completely agree. Not only is GaGa a great singer, she’s a great performer. For me, she blew Kelly and Carrie away. They are good singers, but not at all interesting to me. Carrie especially looked like she was trying way too hard tonight.

That’s why, they had Taylors fans on there side

Taylor Swift has coat tails. Wow!

Alison, the show ends at 11 or thereabouts. Adam will be somewhere around 10:50.

Wow GaGa didn’t win again…. goes to show.. substance over flash.

Rihanna def. sang “Wait Your Turn” -video seen here http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FWwSCojeBDI

“Hard” is this.. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SZ9GrFahKt0
Russian Roulette is a slower tempo.
I LOVE that Gloriana won, I love them.

oh my! everyone thought Gaga was going to win this one! i guess she’s a bit too OTT to win this

LOL, Carrie looked like she was trying too hard and Lady GaGa didn’t? Wow, I completely disagree.

Alison, the show ends at 11 or thereabouts. Adam will be somewhere around 10:50.

lawdy, that is forever away.

wow, GaGa didn’t get the breakthrough artist, just wow..maybe she is becoming a caricature of herself

Yeah, that was ridiculous.

How can you guys hate on GaGa? Shes just as OTT as Adam…. we dont like ppl telling us that Adam should tone it down so why should we judge her? I believe with all my heart that GaGa laid a path that has allowed Adam to become less shocking and more mainstream to america. Plus-he loves her! A friend of adam is a friend of mine anyday lol

AMA audience, can we get a collective BOOOOO. JLo your time is UP!

from where I am, we never get to see this on TV so I am totally enjoying the AMA livestream so far, no complaints!! =) great to see all the artists enjoying themselves with the performances, i cannot wait to see the “performance everyone will be talking about tomorrow”…!!

J Lo. You can’t sing. This song is also really boring.

Wow nice beefcake with J-Lo!! I approve of that. DO NOT approve of her lip-synching. And she had the GALL to mentor on AI???

And you know that if adam was doing the same act we would all love it. We should be NON-JUDGEMENTAL here peeps. Adam wouldnt want it any other way!

J-Lo is so 10 years ago

lady gaga fans are obviously not the voting kind. she’s not going to win on popularity . who in the heck in gloriana, their fans made it a priority to get them noticed. lol.

Jlo not good. Love her dancers, though.

I’m loving all of the quick shots to Adam’s reactions. And I agree with what everyone else is saying about some of the strongest vocals coming from Kelly and Carrie. I was disappointed with Janet and Rihanna.

Needless to say, I can’t wait to see Adam’s performance. We know 2 things for sure: 1) the vocals will be amazing, and 2) the performance is going to be wild (and I’m betting awesome!).

Quick question, what does ‘BB’ stand for?

how much time til Adam?

Jlo is enjoyable.

Ohhhh… Whitney’s coming up. This could be interesting.

How can you guys hate on GaGa?

I’m not hating on Gaga. Normally I like her. But that was one performance that detracted majorly from the music for me. I actually think if she did an acoustic next time it’d be more shocking than another interpretive performance.

JLo sucks too

most entertaining so far was Lady Gaga and Alicia and JayZ

JLo, so disappointing. *sigh*

Gotta wonder if Whitney will lip synch. They are pimping the “live” performance.

I’m entertained by this show, if nothing else.

I’m rooting for Whitney to have a good performance.

J-Lo fell on her ass…too funny

Jlo not good. Love her dancers, though.

Dancers were great. Jlo won’t even be remembered tomorrow with that performance.

BB = baby

Was Jlo lip synching too? That wasn’t much of an on stage costume change either.

BB = baby

Lady Gaga killed it imo. She was awesome!

BB is either baby or beautiful boy YMMV

why ABC/AMA is pimping Adam so hard?

Have you watched most of the performances tonight? Except for Lady Gaga, Kelly, Keith Urban, BEP, Daughtry, and Carrie performance are not good at all. (At least a really good showing for the AI alum)

I dont know how Adam is going to top all this, but they sure are talking him up, Go Adam!!!!!!!!!!

J-Lo is so 10 years ago

I agree. Shes not sexy anymore. I think she would be sexier if she would dress in a sleek gown and own her age and motherhood. She needs to re-invent her image. Classy=sexy

J Lo will be remembered around the water cooler tomorrow. For falling on her ass.

JLo sucks too

most entertaining so far was Lady Gaga and Alicia and JayZ

YOUR SO RIGHT! Everybody else has either been offkey or very bland.

my top 3 so far : Alicia Keys, Kelly, Carrie

Gaga can’t win new artisit at the Grammy’s

Man tonight has not been great in terms of perfomances. J Lo looked po’d after she left the stage.

And in keeping with the theme of tweeting idol brothers… this from Neil Lambert:

Perez Hilton accidently shows us that the AMAs are run by senile, aimlessly wandering gnomes. 15 minutes ago from twidroid

Kid cudi is awesome. 9 minutes ago from twidroid

Boring. Go away. 4 minutes ago from twidroid

I wish he told me he was going last. 3 minutes ago from twidroid

GaGa lost cause Tayor tweeted her minions how to vote. The winner was HER band, probably signed and did front for her. Taylor will win any fan based award, as will her designees more than likely.

I’m nervous for Whitney. Voice just ain’t the same and they’re playing all these old clips. Just gonna make her sound weaker in comparison.

I missed J-Lo falling on her ass. I was too busy being appalled by the lip sync’ing.

Also, since when does Christian Louboutin make boxing shoes?

MJ- Louboutins are fancy shoes. I guess she’s walking out on her lover in fancy shoes. Yes, a great heart felt lyric indeed.

Seriously is all the pimping of Whitney necessary? We know she was a great singer and had all those #1′s. But she will always be remembered for the line…”Crack is Whack”…

Go Whitney! Tears in my eyes, no! I’m moved!

Tweet from Aaron Spears – Idol tour drummer – made me LOL:

A lot of people questioning if JLo fell or not…She bounced up so fast…I know she is as thankful for that poundcake as I am…LOL… half a minute ago from Tweetie

So far, my favorite performance was Alicia and Jay-Z. They sounded great and that’s just a great song. I loved the energy they brought to the stage. Almost every performance is lacking energy, I can’t really explain it.

I dont know how Adam is going to top all this, but they sure are talking him up, Go Adam!!!!!!!!!!

His voice alone is going to kill it. He’s got the best voice out there.

Man tonight has not been great in terms of perfomances. J Lo looked po’d after she left the stage.

Maybe she fell on some of Gaga’s broken glass.

wow, her voice is just not the same, too much drug abuse…

Christian Louboutins are the new Manolo Blahniks. If Sex & the City were still on, Carrie would be wearing them. $500 and up, trademark red soles. Jenny From The Block wouldn’t be wearing them.

Whitney is sounding better then she has in any other performance since her comeback. Not really a great song

I cannot believe all of these female artists are trying to out do each other!

Where is Adam?

Whitney sounds just aw’ight to me. You know how Randy is always telling AI contestants they shouldn’t try to do Whitney? Well, he needs to tell that to Whitney.

Whitney really is still a trainwreck. This “song” is like she’s making a list.

don’t understand the name of the song. Don’t get it!

Christian Louboutin is the current hot stilletto shoe designer

Whitney looks beautiful. I am rooting for her to do well. Not bad so far…. But not like the Whitney of old.

The crack pipe has ruined Whitney’s voice. She doesn’t sound as nearly good as she used to.

Whitney is doing good. I really hate that song though.

Carrie looked befuddled. LOL.

I am watching Whitney sing, and I am cringing. Her glory days are gone, because the great voice has completely disappeared. I am sitting here thinking, that Adam Lambert would kill this song.

JLo did lip-sync, i wouldn’t expect anything less, 4reals.
Whitney is live, but is sorta talkish at the beginning.

ABC is pimping Adam hard because he will be on Dick Clark’s NYEve thing and Dick Clark is the giant behind the AMA’s, its his baby.
Come on Whit!!!

I missed J-Lo falling on her ass. I was too busy being appalled by the lip sync’ing.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-bFga8JWvdI

GaGa lost cause Tayor tweeted her minions how to vote. The winner was HER band, probably signed and did front for her. Taylor will win any fan based award, as will her designees more than likely.

Exactly.

Whitney doesn’t seem as out of it as she did when she was on X Factor a few weeks ago. No one ask her any questions!!!

You know how Randy is always telling AI contestants they shouldn’t try to do Whitney? Well, he needs to tell that to Whitney.

Cruel but funny!

Whitney was shouting a bit. She’s still amazing though.

Ya Whitney should quit trying to do Whitney!!!

So sad, so many years wasted of her incredible talent

It is almost all women tonite– Adam were counting you to KILL it! Win one for the guys….

I had to turn my volume really, really low for the Whitney performance… sometimes, these performers should not try to make a comeback in my opinion.

Whiiney looks great. I wish so much that her voice had more of her past glory

Whitney makes me sad

no boundaries lmao

It must be really hot on that stage. Whitney is melting.

& his management prob said, “this is his first performance of the single b4 his album drops…you better give him some hype or he ain’t showing. We could go to Oprah…”

Whitney deserves this award. Even if she’s not what she used to be, she had so many really good years and gave alot to the music industry.

Jlo missed her dismount. 1.5!

Wow that J.Lo clip got posted to youtube pretty quickly!

OH MY GOSH she is sweating so bad,

I have to say I will LOL if Taylor Swift beats Michael Jackson.

No one sweats like Whitney!

why the hell did gaga lose breakthrough artist?! WTF?!

lmao there’s almost 900 ppl on here

Whitney had a few pitch problems when she actually had to carry a tune.

It is almost all women tonite’“ Adam were counting you to KILL it! Win one for the guys’ ¦.

At first I thought you were including Adam in the list of women!

Green Day will kill it for the guys anyways….

sr4mjc,
ROFLMAO!! Spit my chips on my keyboard!

time until the best album EBBBBER;need I say more?

0  days, 1  hour, 52  minutes and 43  seconds

ok,I’ll be back for Adam.I don’t want the battery to die:)

JLo looked pissed because she fell on her ass, poor thing. It was her come back too. I feel bad for her but the lip-syncing sucked!!! Whitney sound so different but it was really heartfelt. I loved Kelly, Alicia Keys Jay-Z, Carrie, Keith Urban and yes Lady Gaga. I love her weird ass….:) I totally get Gaga. They are pimping the shit out of Adam, he better bring it! No pressure! OH and Paula look gorgeous, I am going to miss her so much on idol. I just realize that when she was standing up there all sane and everything. lolz…

J Lo missed her dismount. 1.5. LOL! Best post tonight!

I had to turn my volume really, really low for the Whitney performance’ ¦ sometimes, these performers should not try to make a comeback in my opinion.

That’s what I did, I am so embarrassed for her. She wasn’t good on the Oprah show or the GMA concert, and now this. Clive Davis didn’t do her any favors bringing her out of retirement. I hope to God she doesn’t try to tour, because not a lot of people are going to show up to see her stumble through performances.

Taylor will beat Carrie.

God, I’m so sick of her. She can’t sing!!

Taylor beats Carrie too. huh…

whitney was amazing. I was moved.

Eminem and TI are Pop/Rock artists??? Don’t get it.

#23 AMA award for MJ …

Is he really wearing a white glittery glove?

Shut up Jermaine.

jambajim Ok…starting the AMAs now. Is it a rule that fat Janet Jackson has to open every single awards show in 2009?

Oh my Jim called Janet fat!

Loubitons are the name of high heels that all the celeb women wear now. It sure is a lot of biased when it comes to the non idols. Whitney did great IMO and Jlo was ok. I’m proud of Whitney for overcoming a lot of issues that she went through. So far best performances go to Whitney, Alicia & Jay-Z and Gaga

WOW… love Alicia’s styling

Jermaine sounded like he was accepting the award for himself.

Who is that? I missed the announcement when I muted Jermaine.

Whitney is a beautiful lady and has a beautiful voice, but I didn’t hear her sing tonight. I was watching a replay of Kris BB in his grey suit. =)

Only the idols are singing well live, let’s go 4 for 4 Adam!

luv ALicia’s shoes– would kill to have those1

Whitney tore that up!! She had my crying over here!

luv ALicia’s shoes– would kill to have those! Her guy dancer rocks…

Alicia Keys has an amazing jacket !!! cool performance

Alicia should not dance..just sing girl

Whitney is sounding *exactly* like her aunt.

Her first song is better

Wow.

It really shows that AI watchers are getting older by the minute. Only the AI singers are good???!!!

Lady GaGa was awesome. THAT was an incredible performance. A story.

So were the BEP.

Well Adam has to be getting ready, lets give him some good thoughts.

Jermaine sounds like a d***

No they said Adam has an eye popping performance. Heh

Oh it was Alicia, I didn’t recognize her for some reason,

“Eye-popping performance from Adam Lambert!”

Wonder if Adam is backstage getting ready for his ‘eye popping’ performance?

Alicia did another great performance. I love her new son Try Sleeping With A Broken Heart

Wow, forgot how boring these shows were. Adam better bring it, cause so far the others haven’t (Only been watching since Whitney, tho).

So sick of Taylor Swift. We have to see her in commercials too? Ugh. I won’t buy the product.

This show is so boring. The audience is not into it either. We need someone to SHAKE IT UP!!!!!

Alicia sounds damn good. I love her.

So back to the comparisons of gaga and adam…e.g. both OTT and you can’t like one and not the other. I don’t agree. Example – he shows up to the big show in a gorgeous black tux and she is wearing some sort of freakish costume-like outfit. I love her music and videos, but she just seems to try to be too extreme. So much that many people are turned off. I don’t ever see Adam going that far over the edge.

why ABC/AMA is pimping Adam so hard?

Maybe Adam is going to be doing some work with Dick Clatk like the New Years Eve Party program?

I think Adam will be changing his hair for his number.

I don’t think Lady Gaga is very happy right now. Maybe she’ll win the last award; then again, Taylor has been taking everything.

see to believe
everybody will talk about tomorrow
eye popping

no pressure Adam

OMG, i’m streaming AMA from Indonesia, Kelly performance so Fantastic!!, Gaga (no comment, she’s really AMAZING!!!), and cant wait for Adam? where’s he?

I remember earlier all this week, people talking about how hard it was going to be for Adam to stand out against all these Superstars. Wow, I have been underwhelmed so far.

I love Eminem.

I am soooo not a fan of rap…

And this is Pop Rock???

Grammie Kari,

Billboard broke the news the other day that Adam will be doing Dick Clark’s New Year’s Rockin’ Eve

Example ‘“ he shows up to the big show in a gorgeous black tux and she is wearing some sort of freakish costume-like outfit.

Valid point, schufly. Adam seems to ‘turn it on’ for his performances, rather than making being ‘out there’ a lifestyle.

Unfortunately, doesn’t change the fact that Gaga’s performances are out too out there for me to enjoy – and I worry that maybe Adam will go down the same route. Of course, I’m one person – and probably nowhere near either of their key demographic. So it doesn’t much matter.

50 cent and Emminem…ughhhh. Terrible.

LOL at this song. They have such long cuts in the sound for tv.

eww – now get these bleeped noise makers off my tv. ewww.

Did I say we needed someone to “shake it up”? I meant to say we need someone to ENTERTAIN US! (giggle).

why not just sensor out the whole song?

My God they are bleeping the whole damn performance, Lol over here, I dont know why I dont understand one word they are saying.

Mute.

He’s brillz with what he does with his rhymes. Just sayin.

wow….whoever is on sound edit has their work cut out for them!!!!

And again I ask… Eminem was nominated for Pop/Rock because???

love Eminem

I love Eminem.

Me too! I like some rap though.

/ sarcasm /Are there any awards on this show? /end sarcasm /

This is fun.

Wow I thought it was my TV signal cutting in and out during Eminem’s performance, it sounded like an audio malfunction!

I tend to agree with you kt_cle

@pj – people were saying LLWD was fast? Holy {beep}. He was rapping so fast!

wow’ ¦.whoever is on sound edit has their work cut out for them!!!!

LOL…my thoughts exactly!

Chris Sligh is tweeting what just about everyone except for Adam fans is thinking:

Today, November 22, 2009, 32 minutes ago
ChrisSligh: Wow’ ¦ABC is really playing up this Adam Lambert thing.

Today, November 22, 2009, 31 minutes ago
ChrisSligh: Has ANY Idol (or new artist for that matter) ever gotten this much pub for having done absolutely nothing? Hope he lives up to the hype.

Today, November 22, 2009, 26 minutes ago
ChrisSligh: LOL’ ¦crazy fan’ ¦he has not sold one record. He hasn’t had one hit song yet. I’m just saying I hope he lives up to the hype

[ well, that last part's not quite true. he has sold some singles and probably copies of that unsanctioned CD ]

Today, November 22, 2009, 25 minutes ago
ChrisSligh: And yes he is a better singer than I. For sure.

Timbaland needs to learn to distance the mic from his mouth better.

This sucks

Ok, they are talking to Kris right now on the ABC red carpet. They spelled his name wrong on the little banner below him. They spelled it Chris. He did get a thumbs up on his gray suit with the black trim by the interviewer.

Jersey… I like this awards show. It’s clipping along without a host making stupid jokes. And we all know the awards are a joke, so…

No wonder I never watched this show!

I’m actually looking forward to seeing Green Day.

oohh now the performance is “spectacular”

I can’t wait to see Nine.

can wait now for the ‘spectacular debut’ of Adam Lambert
by chance the show is finishing soon, the tv presentator would run short of words.. he he

Eminem is not a pop artist. Neither is Taylor. Sheesh.

I actually liked Timbaland. Not a big fan, but great performance…

Can’t wait for Green Day – love 21 guns…

Then ADAM!!

It is amazing how much abc is pimping him. Maybe they always do that for the closer just to keep people watching. HOnestly, if I wasn’t waiting for that performance I woulda turned the tv off already. Most of these performances have been mediocre to bad

Did that Timbaland performance just rip off parts of Thriller?

Eminem is not a pop artist. Neither is Taylor. Sheesh.

I think they must have been using the super broad definition of “pop” meaning “popular”.

I’m glad I’m not an invested Adam fan or I would be so nervousing right now with all the build up. It’s a good thing Adam can’t hear it.

beyonce & paul look like they’ll be much, much better than tonight

I hope Adam picks up lots of new fans.

He deserves it, and he needs them. The ultra-conservative AI fanbase is not for the long run.

Go, baby ADAM!!!!!!

Chris Sligh jealous, much!

Geez, Adam gets the pimp spot again, better get ready to dial, oh wait, this isn’t AI?…oops sorry folks

I’m actually looking forward to seeing Green Day.

Really the only reason I’m watching….

Nine seems cool.

(I’m really nervous now)

I agree PJ. I was just noticing that there hasn’t been an award given out in a long time. Less boring thank you’s.

Taylor Swift is as pop as you get. She’s not country.

Green Day!!!

Im really nervous too!!!!

He looks like he ran into Adam.

Love this Green Day song…awesome

http://www.mtv.com/news/articles/1626836/20091122/lambert_adam_american_idol_.jhtml

I saw Green Day in concert many years ago. They were awesome.

Chris Sligh jealous, much!

why are you saying that?

I think tiny Green Day dude may be smaller than Kris.

Miss Chaos
11/22/2009 at 10:37 pm
Chris Sligh jealous, much!

Please tell me that’s sarcastic.

always love me some green day.

Green Day managed to survive the end of that genre… good on them. Love them.

Chris Sligh jealous, much!

What I thought!! Better singer? How bout a FAR better singer, dude!

I thought this was going to be a hot lineup, but so far I’m disapointed

I thought this was going to be a hot lineup, but so far I’m disapointed

I think tiny Green Day dude may be smaller than Kris.

tho both like tight pants.

Obviously, ABC has seen the Adam performance before this show, soooo

BTW never liked, never will like GaGa, she just isn’t my type- bit of a caricature, it is all facade, who knows her real personality, hard to see it under all the facade…

Carrie sounded good but too many dancers, overshadowed her. Kelly was great as usual. I thought Kris looked hot. Love Keith Urban. Not digging Whitney’s song but glad she made it through the mess her life was in. Looks like another TS night. Her fans must vote their fingers off.

I really like this song and Bj is singing really well.

Chris Sligh is just tweeting what most people are probably thinking (who aren’t already Lambert fans) Why is this unproven artist getting all this promo. It is a little weird.

I LOVE Green Day.

Green Day is nice. I am loving this song.

Finally, an entertaining performance . . . well, one note off, but still.

Green Day is cool…

Eminem-swearing and pushing the edge shocking.(sarcasm).I really don’t see Adam doing rap or gangster rap.Next up American Idol.BTW I liked 8th miles..
Jersey-I do like Greenday and are one of the bands I would pay to see.

Agree, pj, Taylor Swift isn’t country. And if she was, then why is she winning awards in pop. That just isn’t right. She’s OK, but what’s the deal. Shows how valuable the teen vote is.

Love Green Day….. why does the audience look totally bored in all of these performances.?

Whats them things around their necks? Oh yeah…guitars. Love Green Day!

Loving Sligh’s tweets… don’t agree with a lot of them, but hey… he has opinions.

Was anyone besides me a little embarrassed to see a nearly 40 year old man trying to keep his image of teen thug rapper alive?

Adam better be pretty amazing after all the hype. All of the bands have had fantastic dancers, lighting and pyro. It’s going to be hard to beat.

Adam is NEXT yay!

I just LOVE Green Day… sigh….

This site is going to crash so bad during and after Adam’s performance, I’m not even going to attempt to post.

chris daughtry just patted jay z on the back.

I wish the Killers would have performed.. they’re so much better than most of these people.. I mean, I think they’re in Africa right now but still.

and I can’t really conceive of a way Adam will be spectacular. I mean, yes, his voice is great but it’ll pretty much just be him doing his thingthing with back-up dancers, yeah? That’s sort of.. par for the course.

I f-ing lurve Green Day! Let me see, winner of artist of the year will be………………………………. Michael Jackson, duhhhhhhhh….It would be crazy if Taylor Swift won. Adam better bring it!

I like all three pals in Brothers.

OMG late but I loveee Lady Gaga so so much… she is just so weird and different and amazing

Damn. I’m actually nervous for adam

Adam fans.? Here…we….go! My hands are sweating. Embarassing

will, i’ll be too busy watching to post

Ya this might be the last post I can get in for awhile, so good luck Adam, your gonna do great,!!

god my stomach is turning…lol…

OMG a LOST commercial!!!

Chris Sligh is just tweeting what most people are probably thinking (who aren’t already Lambert fans) Why is this unproven artist getting all this promo. It is a little weird.

Unproven in terms of CD sales perhaps but, um, I think a ton of people were watching AI last season and saw Adam’s live performances. Based solely on that, there definitely is quite a lot to anticipate. Plus, ABC aren’t fools – they want all eyeballs glued to the telecast to the very end, hence the constant reminders.

he literally closes the show AND the show is on time

luvalambert, think “Taylor Swift”. Only his death can possibly take MJ above Taylor Swift

Not a fan, but I hope Adam makes AI proud! *skeered*

WTF….Taylor Swift wins….LOL… she beats MJ….hahahahha

Taylor winning Artist if the Year just made a third of the audience turn the show off.

Wow, does not sounf good

WOW

his singing is TERRIBLE. haha about the blow job move. Nice Adam. Real classy. Gotta get attention some how.

Huh. I must have accidentally changed the channel. I was watching the AMAs, and now I seem to be watching S&M: The Musical.

Taylor, Taylor, Taylor! Wow, she has been sweeping the awards up like cotton candy at a circus.

this is………….. terrible

Sound seems off. Like have the mics are off or something. Not liking it.

Hideous song though.
ott anyone?

Well, Im not sure Adam picked up any fans with that and maybe lost some. All that wasn’t necessary.

This was awfull, his singing was off, how can it be?

Not impressed.

what was that??????? LOL

he stumbled…and kissed a guy…

I sweated

Adam, you stunk it up.

Wow. So soo bad. Omg.

All he’s got going for him is his singing and that was subpar! then that last note… well, my roommate is still laughing. Unnecessary much? And the kiss and the bj move?

Adam. You have officially become a joke. Congrats!

Haaaa!!! There you go. He’ll be talked about but not for good music. I wouldn’t doubt it if ABC got a ton of complaints from the Moral Majority!

WOW. He just bombed. Wow. That was horrible. I just read like 100 tweets, so many thought it was horrible. There were barely applause at the end.

well, that was definitely eye popping. The announcers got that part right.

I’m an Adam fan, but I have to say that was not good at all. The vocal was weirdly nasal and affected, and he was, um, distracted by the “choreography” if you can call it that. OH WELL, my iTunes album will be downloading in an hour. Something to look forward to!

Adam was horrendous. Disgusting.

gah! WTF was with the sound. bad, bad. and the chair thing was totally wrong, having to cross the stage like that didn’t work. groaning here at that awful sound. snif.

Singing was good, but I was too nervous to watch. From the comments I’m a bit depressed.

So what was that about RCA not wanting Adam to be “too gay?”

What was it that was bleeped out? It was when he was rubbing that guy’s face in his crotch.

Sorry Adam that was disgusting. Why the hell did his people let him do that?

not the best performance tonight. Not my best Adam performance.

Still love you Adam.

Little pitchy dawg..

WTF???

I think I need to take a break for a while!

Bye Bye!

I’m a huge adam fan but that was a mess – the sound was a disaster and undermined the whole thing. Oh well. People will sure be talking

Anticlimactic after all the hype.

Okay I think Adam may have turned off a few people with the fill makeout session with the guy. I’m in no way homophobic but that was a little too much for me. They were basically sucking face

OK, maybe I’m too old for this stuff. But I found that just vulgar. I mean, if the object was to get people talking… well, mission accomplished. But the kid can sing his face off… WHY would the focus instead be on all that extraneous crap? He lost me at the face rub in the crotch. There’s sexy, then there’s vulgar. For me, that stuff was vulgar.

sigh……..if he hadn’t been sooooo out of tune, I would have liked it……….WTF happened?

ALL the HYPE……sigh……hope he gets a chance to redeem himself.

I still love him though.

im so disappointed. i am the biggest adam fan and that was too much for me…he was going for the shock value and it just didnt work, just made everyone uncomfortable.

What THE HELL was the illusion of the blow job he was getting?

I don’t care AT ALL that it was from another man, I don’t care if it was a woman, I just couldn’t believe I saw it.

I’m all for pushing the sexual envelope, but really, there’s being sexy and then there is flat out being indiscreet.

I’m totally seeing someone throwing a tizzy over this.

And Adam, you were out of tune but you recovered nicely.

Anticlimactic after all the hype? Anticlimactic just implies he did just okay.. he did terrible. Seriously. He didn’t even look good.

I’ll give him some point by continuing performing after that stumble tho. Adam gets himself up and moves on.

That was Britney vma’s “gimme more” bad, Worst of the night, the singing was absolutly horrible. I thought he was a good singer? what happened? epic fail

to bad it could of been great but he’s gonna have to count on his loyal fans now to get good sales.

Bad. Really, REALLY bad. One of the worst live performances I have EVER seen. Screechy, off-key, trying way too hard. Mountains of hype for that epic disaster of a performance? LMAO.

WTF was that??
And did anybody else’s screen black out and take away sound for a few seconds during what should have been a vocal run towards the end, or is that just my awful cable?

Gene Simmons is laughing his ass off right now.Twitter is not good for adam.Lots of hate.

What was that Adam just did? God, it is always dangerous to tred where you don’t belong! That’s all I will say.
That was awful! People are licking Kris’ feet on twitter now.

This sums it up for me:

Adam Lambert was the pinnacle of the evening… if you’re bulimic and needed a trigger!

That was horrible. Adam’s voice sounded strange to me. Very nasally or something. And all that hoopla for nothin. So he made out with a guy on stage and stage screwed a gaggle of folks – all while he was making noise that was supposed to be pleasant to the ears? Not to mine. And even the spectacle was too all over the place to really pack a punch. Didn’t work for me.

grrrr…Adam- what the hell did u do???? so much hubris! that was an awful performance! you don’t need to disgust in order to get people interested in your music. i went to the burn, i love costumes but that was just in bad taste. and, he didn’t even sing to the mic, the dancing was offensive, the make up was drooling over his face….oh my, i do love him why on earth did he have to put this horrendous performance? i have shivers because i am so sad for the missed opportunity…

gah! WTF was with the sound. bad, bad. and the chair thing was totally wrong, having to cross the stage like that didn’t work. groaning here at that awful sound. snif.

Yaeah, it was a bad sound mix. It seemed to keep changing through out the performance, like the sound guys couldn’t figure out the right balance. Sucks that it had happen on his debut.

I’ll give him some point by continuing performing after that stumble tho. Adam gets himself up and moves on.

Was that a stumble? I thought it was part of the routine.

Good news. Adam is #1 trending topic on Twitter. Bad news, mostly all those tweets hated his performance and think it was a train-wreck.

The sound was not good at all. and so much was unnecessary . I doubt he got any new fans. did he go off script cos i am surprised the producers allowed all that but then again they kept saying eye popping, u have to see to believe etc so i guess they all approved.
they were going for shocking just wish the sound was better.

Well, Adam. I’m entertained! Lol!!! By you and by all the responses everywhere!! *lmao*

Madona masturbation on stage? Fine! Kissing 2 other women? Genius! All the artists dry humping on stage and music videos for decades? Rock on! Adam doing the same with men? OMFGVFUBVIYB!!! DISTURBING!!! GROSS!!!! WTFWTHBBQ!1!11!

Tee-hee.

ETA: Janet’s boob must be laughing it’s ass out backstage!! LOL!!

That just stunned the hell out of me. What was he thinking? I absolutely love Adam, but there was nothing good about that performance. Sound was horrible, everything looked so stiff, the roll across the stage (what the hell was that?), the crotch grabbing and face planting, and the kiss?!? Even his singing wasn’t great. Who was that on stage and what did they do with my Adam??

Tomorrow will be a terrible day for him. I’m still in shock and my heart hurts for him. (

They were basically sucking face

I cheered, but then again, I’ve had gay “husbands” and “boyfriends” since the seventies. I forget that most 50 year olds (and younger) aren’t used to seeing two men sucking face.

To me, seeing pre-teens and and young teens sucking face is much more disturbing.

Adam, either your sexuality is a non-issue or it’s the centerpiece of your career. Stop trying to have it both ways.

At least Kelly didn’t let me down tonight. Adam was memorable for all the wrong reasons. I’m sure he’ll throw out all the usual “it’s not that deep” and “some get it some don’t” crap to explain it away. Maybe that would suffice if he had managed to not sound like hot buttered ass.

I loved it! Too much hate out there…

So what was that about RCA not wanting Adam to be ‘too gay?’ 

I think so and talk about nailing in your point with a hammer..The video can’t decide memories of Rocky Horror Show or a scene from CSI investigating a ring..

Ok… so I think my post was eaten… he fell, right? It wasn’t part of the choreography? Because I was startled as if he fell.

Also, Ryan Seacrest just tweeted:

Ama’s…Lambert designed all the costumes for his performance..I love the jay z song. had to blaze home to get up early. Home in 6 mins 3 minutes ago from UberTwitter

Adam…you are no Jedward.

Yeah it sucked……….. but it got every single one of you talking…….

LOL

I haven’t seen it yet, but it will be talked about. I hope the sound is better on my tv. Too bad if there were sound issues. It sounds like Whitney had sound issues as well and others had performance problems, i.e. JLO. C’est le vie.

lmfao at him falling though!

he was just terrible in every way.

Was that a stumble? I thought it was part of the routine.

Yeah it was a stumble. But pretty good disguise to roll out of it. Adam’s singing was way off. Im disappointed. Hopefully, the fans he does have do not abandon him after this performance.

Oy. I’m thinking that a polite smattering of applause was not the reaction they were looking for there. I really think he would have been better off performing towards the beginning of the show because after all that spectacle it really just fell flat. But there’s no such thing as bad publicity, so at the very least his name will be front-of-mind as his album hits the streets.

Not a good start to his solo life IMO

Oh, poor Adam… that wasn’t good, at all. I really wanted that to be good, but even the vocal just seemed really badly off. The arrangement didn’t work. The staging was clunky. Audience response lackluster at best. He didn’t gain any fans with that one, for sure.

In better news, I thought Kelly had the performance of the night. That version of “Already Gone” was the best I’d heard her sing that song. Just phenomenal.

lol okay this will be my last post here tonight cause i can’t take the slowness. again the worst thing in his performance for me was the sound. i can’t help wondering what happened. he sounded so good on the rehearsal vids. I LOVE that he kiss Tommy. Fabulous!! The chair thing was awkward because crossing the stage felt pointless. Very difficult choreography and not enough time to perfect. But if the sound had been good, it would have been a smash.

LOL love this tweet “Adam Lambert is the new singing Eddie Munster. I'm scared for the future of the music industry. “

Oh great, this is not what I wanted to read, I haven’t seen it yet since I live in California but if what the posters here are saying is true, then I’m just really sad. Why would RCA let him do this? His mama needs to slap him up the side of the head…

Not a good way to start your non-AI career. Heck, AI might not even want him to guest.

Good news. Adam is #1 trending topic on Twitter. Bad news, mostly all those tweets hated his performance and think it was a train-wreck.

The ones I just looked at were almost all positive and congratulatory. Some negative ones, but I didn’t see a lot of them.

Good way to lose a lot of fans. Nothing about that was good, imo. He looked like something from a vampire movie, didnt sound as good as usual, so so song, and the rest of it belonged behind closed doors. I think he is believing too much of his own pr. He is not a superstar, needs his fan base plus new ones, and needs to tone it down some. I felt like I was watching porn.

That didn’t work at all. I’m sorry for Adam at the moment. The singing was off, the decidedly cabaret arrangement didn’t work (that last note at the end didn’t help things; so unnecessary), the staging clunky… oh, and I wanted it to be good!

On the other hand… Kelly had the best performance of the night, for sure. Loved her. Best version of “Already Gone” I’ve heard her sing.

From Jim C:

Epic blog coming tomorrow about Adam Lambert’s performance. Stay tuned, friends. 2 minutes ago from UberTwitter

Considering that he’s also interviewing Adam this week, it will be interesting to see what he has to say.

It was ambitious for a debut. No, strike that, it was ambitious for any live performance.

Wow, I love Adam, but he got a bit lost in that one. Too much going on. Trying to do too much with it.

That said, he was looking to introduce himself, and I guess he did. Let the chips fall where they may. At least we know that Out editor is happy about Adam’s choice to be fully open and unambiguous about his sexuality. Heh.

I will say that what I totally loved about the performance was it was a total f*ck you to Taylor friggin’ Swift. I mean, seriously, it’s a travesty that she took pop and country female, and especially artist of the year this of all years. And that breakout category?! WhoTF is Georgiana??? To win breakout, don’t you have to, like, break out?!

Damn, this turned out to be disappointing, yet telling. At least my boys Green Day won, but even the sound for them was off and even Billie Joe did not sound in great voice (and off key at times) tonight.

After the Georgiana and Swift take all, I’m going to give the season’s sales awards to Gokey, no doubt about it. Total BS…

He kissed a boy and I liked it. Also stage experience wins out when you can fall off the stage and make it almost look like you meant to do it AND keep singing at the same time. Boy has mad performance skills.

If anything let it down for me was that the band was a bit flat and seemed slowed down. LOL on people who thought it was over the top – ahem have you met Adam? I guess no one thinks he’s soft and sweet anymore.

Edit – I guess pop has a new overlord… and once again this the performance that everyone will be talking about.

The worst part is the AMA’s made him the centerpiece of the whole show and he bombed. The audience of his peers certainly didn’t give him the predicted standing O. Dammit Adam, you self indulgent fuck up

Yeah it sucked’ ¦’ ¦’ ¦.. but it got every single one of you talking’ ¦’ ¦.

it’ll get everyone talking alright but I bet it won’t make anyone wanna buy his album that didn’t already plan too. I bet some people are trying to cancel there orders right now.

Oy. I’m thinking that a polite smattering of applause was not the reaction they were looking for there. I really think he would have been better off performing towards the beginning of the show because after all that spectacle it really just fell flat. But there’s no such thing as bad publicity, so at the very least his name will be front-of-mind as his album hits the streets

.

I guess we heard two different reactions because the one thing I did hear was a very loud applause for him….and believe me I was not expecting it because it was definitely not Adam at his best. With that said…I almost think he would have been better off singing WYWFM as just let his voice speak for itself. Well best to suck it up and perform better at the next venue.

Adam’s performance was really embarrassing. At least he’s trending #1 on Twittter although not in a good way. I’m really shocked that RCA allowed this. What were they thinking?

He got a very tepid reaction, as he should have. It was terrible.

I don’t think it was that bad. At least it wasn’t bland. His vocals could have been better though. I didn’t think it was that ofensive. Americans are too conservative. I just couldn’t believe when he fell. I guess it was bad carma for us laughing at j-lo.

I just found it on-line, and I thought it was pretty good. Probably because of all the terrible comments here, I was expecting something really bad. I thought he sounded pretty good. I didn’t see anything that shocking here, not in comparision to alot of stuff that was performed. He may not have a large following, but his following will know who he is and what he is about.

The ones I just looked at were almost all positive and congratulatory. Some negative ones, but I didn’t see a lot of them.

Are you kidding me?!?! The few positive oh I still love you Adam tweets were from his uberfans, everything else was VERY negative. I saw a lot of tweets saying he was the worst of the night.

Love you Kelly

I’d waited for 3 hours to watch adam, and I’m a little disappoint with this FYE live performance. CD’s version is far better.
OK, as a fan, let it go. Adam, don’t feel sad, we still love you.

singing was really great– it is on you tube- take a listen again– it was risque and the drop and roll worked—the risque is going to turn off and turn on fans at the same time— the singing was great, since he used his rock wail, most non fans will say it is awful and he screamed….

I just don’t know what to say! I love Adam, and it hurts so much to say this but it was awful! What was he thinking the night before his album is released???? He could have saved the performance with his voice, but even that wasn’t good. Maybe he was nervous??? He’s so talented and could have gained so many new fans w/the opportunity to close the show, now he may have lost some fans. I’m so sad right now!

That was pretty bad. He went for cheap shock and didn’t impress with what he should have, his voice. That song is also pretty bad.

Yeah it sucked’ ¦’ ¦’ ¦.. but it got every single one of you talking’ ¦’ ¦.

ALL BAD.

the sound mix was terrible. the background singers were louder than him in many parts which made him sound off. and the stumble didn’t help. he recovered but only after he had to take a deep breath/pause to try to gain back his timing.

his singing was off too. i think it was a bad case of nerves. he sounded really nervous.

not a good performance at all. too bad.

I had to weigh in here!..and, will probably ask for help to get me to sleep tonight, which I never do! I felt so bad for J-Lo when she fell on her butt, as that was not part of her act…and, Adam sat there all night long and watched all those big names…the minute the spotlight hit his face, I gripped my stomach and could tell he was NERVOUS!!!and, I have never seen him look nervous all through Idola and his tour.
He was not sure what he was doing was going to make it with this crowd of entertainers and his fans..it was on his face, but, I don’t know what made him break every boundary in one performance…sure, there was a lot of bleeped out words in several of the acts, and suggestive stuff in all of them…maybe some of them are gay, I don’t care about that…doesn’t matter to me….what matters to me is the very difficult climb he has had to make to get this far and what a really good person he is and he came from good people too…he’s got to back down from this type of performance right now..and on GMA and Letterman swing into some of that “beautiful” voice we all know he has..He did not lose me as a fan and never will/but, I am from Arkansas and in my office the whole bunch save for 3 of us were for the other guy…I may get some looks in the am, but, bet no one will have the nerve to say one thing to me!!!! You know he has friends, family and a lot of us and I hope all of you who loved him before will still love him..He has learned a valuable lesson tonight….I will be enjoying his album tomorrow and for a long time….and right now, I am tuning in the 27″ IMAC to TFM video and looking at the Adam I love!

RS on the AMA FYE

http://www.rollingstone.com/rockdaily/index.php/2009/11/22/adam-lambert-shocks-american-music-awards-with-racy-for-your-entertainment/

After all the hype, what a wasted opportunity. Horrible (and it wasn’t just the sound mix), pitchy and vulgar.

twitter is mostly very positive- risque gets people talking and so does the rock wails– some will hate and some will love it– news was that producers did not know he was going to make out with keyboardist

i really didn’t like this performance. I was expecting something very fun (for my entertainment) and the singing was not what Adam delivers usually and the visuals.. omg.. very disappointed of the lack of subtlety.
It seems to me that Adam was firckin nervous tonight

I dont think it was a drop and roll. I think it was a fall and cover up!
I love Adam but that was hilarious.

Love the shock factor to America.

I think he recovered well from that tumble – not to mention the one door swinging wild, his mike not working properly and that dancer nailing him in the balls with her spike heel. But that’s what happens when you sing it all live – no tape to fall back on. I give Adam props for holding it all together as well as he did. His dancers didn’t in some cases. I can’t help but wonder if that set wasn’t properly dogged down. It moved much more than in the rehearsal tape. I had hydraulics go wonky during a performance once. The set piece I was standing on was supposed to turn slowly. Instead it spun like a frickin’ top. I was holding on by my fingernails. That’s the bitch with complicated machinery: more things to go wrong.

Oy. I’m thinking that a polite smattering of applause was not the reaction they were looking for there.

It reminds me of the applaus after Madonna performed “Like a Virgin” on I believe the MTV awards in the 1980s. She did pretty well.

It was a bit of a shocking performance in it’s content, but I think the stumble was not a stumble but a dance move. I also think he sang pretty well. Not as well as he can, but he’s moving up and down stairs etc.

I don’t think this performance will hurt him. The people who are going to follow him, are going to follow him. He will lose fans but he will also get new ones.

If this was entertainment, I’d hate to see what punishment would be.

I’m really disappointed, his voice was just off and he was very stiff. He should’ve owned that stage and he didn’t.

Well any publicity is good publicity for Adam.

Adam Adam Adam. … First of all, I am a big Adam fan. He was my favorite during the season. However, I’m not a fan of the single. Even before tonight, I wished his single would of been more classic rock. People are going to call him A Lady Gaga wanabee. and that makes me very sad.

If he did one shocking thing, thats fine… but dont do a billion at once. If you look at every Britney Spears or Madonna performance, they did one shocking thing not a billion all at once.

I’m scared for him.

Well, on a positive note, apparently it sounded good live, just not recorded. To bad I wasn’t there to enjoy it. lol
And he is gaining about 10 new followers on Twitter a minute, so at least that’s good. I guess.

Yeah it sucked’ ¦’ ¦’ ¦.. but it got every single one of you talking’ ¦’ ¦.

LOL

Oh, yeah, like I said – I hated it, thought it was vulgar, thought that with a voice like that who needs all the b.s…. but I know damn well people will be talking about it. There’s pushing buttons and then there is bludgeoning the buttons to pieces with a hammer. A little dialed back would’ve worked just fine, the voice could’ve been better… Yeesh. So it’ll definitely drum up some talk. But… it skeered me, lol.

Also, i forgot to turn off the tv in the other room so my mom saw his performance. I came downstairs and saw a look of discust on her face, and she didn’t say anything LOL.

I’m probably the oldest, age wise, poster here and I wasn’t at all shocked and bent out of shape by Adam. I was disappointed by the sound. I just listened to it on U-Tube and the sound is much better. I felt Lady GaGA’s performance and costumes were much more risque than anything Adam did. I’ve seen gals kiss on screen before and it didn’t freak me out. I wish his performance was getting better feed, as I love Adam and can’t wait to download his CD and also go buy one as I have to have the real item in my hands.

YOu know who was really good from thoe former idols?? Kelly Clarkson. Wow. What a voice.

Anyone who thought Adam would play it safe was crazy. He isn’t safe. He’s said many times he likes to make people uncomfortable.

The Adam Storm went….poof.

Adam…please, you don’t have to cheapen yourself … we all know you’re gay, you don’t have to rub it in everyone’s face…Adam you’re better than that performace tonight…please

Lmao sugar coat it all you OTT adam fans want but RCA may drop him by the first of the year.Broadway may not take him back after that.

I’m a huge Adam fan, but no, no, no…this was so wrong on so many levels. At one point I thought the stumbling was part of the act, I really couldn’t tell. And, that’s not a compliment by any means. I expected OTT, but not out and out vulgarity. Sorry. All I keep thinking is I saw and know that Adam has a rare, great voice and performance ability. What about the people watching who knew nothing about him? Now what are these potential fans thinking? The song didn’t sound like the song I’ve heard and like. I never really loved the song but I saw its potential to make it on radio. I realize Adam loves risk taking, and wants to be true to himself. He has said words to the effect, that I do what I do, hope people like it, but it they don’t, that’s okay. Well, he’s not totally right with his thinking. Now’s his time to make it or break it. He has to at least try to appeal to people. Use that voice, those performance skills. Don’t rely on vulgarity. It totally takes away from his gifts. I never understood why so many people commented that they didn’t love/like TFM. No joke, if he just got up at the AMAs tonight and sang TFM, with no dancers…nothing but his voice, he would have a ton of new fans tomorrow. I love TFM b/c that song showcases his voice. I don’t understand who is advising him and if they have anything/power to suggest and point him in the right direction. I just heard Adam in an interview speak about being a control freak and basically having a lot to say in what he does. Maybe not a good idea. Adam worships Gaga, and she’s out there, but she wasn’t vulgar and she sang well. Artists who are selling, like Carrie, Chris, and Kelly just sang, and showcased their amazing voices. Oh boy is all I can say. Now I hope nobody stayed up to watch till the end.

I thought Adam’s performance stunk, and not because of all the shocking aspects to it. Leaving those aside, his voice was off. You can blame it on the sound people, but you’d be kidding yourselves. He was putting on his theatrical voice and it seemed he was so tense that it was a mess. Same goes for his moves which were really stiff and awkward, and then there was the trip and roll – not intentional. It’s funny because with all that theatre background I expected him to nail the choreography but he just looked in over his head.

Maybe he got stressed about portraying gay and bi S&M acts on primetime national TV. It did cause an explosion but I don’t think its the kind to sell music. But we’ll see. I know it didn’t make me want to buy anything by Adam. All this hype and this was the payoff? The suits must be hurting right about now.

Adam you are not ready yet for the big shows.

Love the shock factor to America.

Actually, I thinks the shock factor was not needed one bit. That man has such raw and amazing talent.

Further, I think the shock factor is really disrespectful to all the families that supported him and went to see him on tour. Now he turns his back to these fans and does this “sensual perfomance”. Not cool.

LMAO….You OTT Adam haters can say some of the darnest things that make me just appreciate you so much.

I have no problem with the concept or shock value of the performance, it was just poorly executed. Adam seemed really nervous, and I’ve never seen him looke nervous performing before. The sound mix was a disaster (which wasn’t adams fault) and fye is a hard song to sing live. So the whole thing was a mess. Have no idea what effect this will have on album sales – its so good I hope it does well in the long run

The ones I just looked at were almost all positive and congratulatory. Some negative ones, but I didn’t see a lot of them.

Are you kidding me?!?! The few positive oh I still love you Adam tweets were from his uberfans, everything else was VERY negative. I saw a lot of tweets saying he was the worst of the night.

gangreen29 you have to realize that those tweets are coming in at about 100 a minute. At the point I checked, they WERE almost all positive, but I didn’t read hundreds of them. I wouldn’t have said that if it weren’t true at the time I checked, so NO, I was not kidding.

HA Ha!!!

I knew it!!! Sharks in full force…

Hold on, Adam, Hold on!!!

They might drop him. We will see. People will be talking about him tomorrow I imagine. I actually think the fall was the worse thing about the performance. Seriously, Britney kissed Madonna.

if the performance (racy/disgusting – call it what you want) was backed up by a strong vocal it would have been a good intro to adam.

but, the vocal was not strong (nerves + background singers too loud and oversinging him) and so i am afraid he is sunk before he even begins.

he’s not going to pick up any new fans with that performance.

I will state that I am neutral on Adam. I didn’t like how Idol pushed him as the chosen one, but that wasn’t Adam’s fault. I am not a fan, but I hate to see anyone have such a public trainwreck. I felt so bad at the end when I saw the look on his face, because he knew it wasn’t good. He covered the trip and roll pretty well, but he just couldn’t regain his composure and his voice and face showed it. I won’t even comment on the obvious that was just not cool in primetime. And honestly, that performance was not even remotely rock, or even electro dance pop, it was cabaret. That would have gone down better on the Tony Awards, if it had been done well. The good news is that there were many bad performances tonight, so he is not alone.

Given what we knew about the FYE video and the previews about this performance, I wasn’t surprised one bit about all he had going on… ok, maybe shoving the guys face in his crotch caught me off guard

But since the OTT never did it for me, it was always Adam’s voice that I liked… The fact that the YouTube apparently sounds better leads me to believe that the sound issues were more technical than Adam… I’m sorry for him about that. And while he made a great recovery from the trip… he still tripped. Reminds me of my freshman year in high school when I tripped in front of a bus load of students. Although, Adam made a much more graceful recovery than I did.

I had to close my normal ‘Kris Allen’ twitter feed because there were so many negative/hateful comments about Kris – that’s the part of the Adam-phenomenon that bugs me… but I wanted him to have a performance that he was happy with. I just don’t know if this was it.

I agree with the critique of your post 100%

woah.that was severly innapropriate.between yelling at verizon,my dad saw it.the gist of his lecture was “don’t obsess/worship this guy because he’s crude”.I bsed that I didn’t have my glasses so I didn’t see anything bad.I think that turned some ppl off.I think the kiss was unnecessary.after tge shock,I thought it was sick.I liked vocals.my dad also said if he’s does crude,I’m banned from having anything to do with Him.which is why I have YouTube.whatevs.it took me until now to get onto this site.10 minutes until fye,unless it’s west coast time then it’s like 3 hrs.

I am an Adam fan for one, but EVERYTHING about that performance was off. His voice didn’t go good with the back-ups, there was to much going on, the music was to overpowering… they want for to much shock and didn’t concentrate on what made us all love Adam: his voice

Adam fall on his bum.

he’s not going to pick up any new fans with that performance.

at least, people outside AI know him and will remember him now.
not too bad.

From Lindsey Parker:

For reasons I don’t know, Lambert isnt coming bkstg after all. So I’m going home to write now. Kris Allen red carpet intw up tmrw though! less than a minute ago from Echofon

Thank Goodness Daughtry, Kelly and Carrie were there to represent AI.

wonder if Adam is upset?

@lyndseyparker:
For reasons I don’t know, Lambert isnt coming bkstg after all. So I’m going home to write now. Kris Allen red carpet intw up tmrw though! 2 minutes ago from Echofon

Some think Adam was “trying too hard.” I sorta see their point but at least he WENT for it. Review later – waiting for Adam backstage now. 19 minutes ago from Echofon

Seems like a lot of people didn’t like the Lambert performance. Surprise surprise, I dug it. 31 minutes ago from Echofon

Well Aaron Hicklin can shut up now 32 minutes ago from Echofon

you know, there are some people with little awareness of Adam, or worse, this notion that he is super ultra amazing, but haven’t ever heard him sing… and they saw THAT tonight. He was flat the entire time, out of breath, his dancing was terrible, he FELL, it was unnecessarily vulgar, and he didn’t even look handsome…

way to suck, Adam. The day before your CD is released. Nice going. I bet he feels like balls. though, probably not… he’s probably placing the blame on the viewers as always. Oh, we just didn’t “get it.” We’re not “ready” for it. Whatever Adam. He should own up to that performance. At least admit it was off-key.

I watch FYE on youtube. The sound is actually better there. I have no problem with the performance now. But I guess I’m in the minority. Fingers crossed for a good open day tomorrow. please.

The shock for me wasn’t so much the performance. I expected something too risque for TV. What made my eyes bulge out of their sockets was how horrible he was vocally.

That was even worse than when he had to tackle No Boundries.

Wow, that’s all I can say. Probably good he didn’t win AI, lol. Yikes.

I did enjoy Daughtry, Keith Urban, and Kelly. Love that song and her voice was bang on.

He should’v
