Adam Lambert on being ‘Idol’ judge: ‘Nothing’s been asked yet’

Life after ‘Idol’ has been idyllic for Casey Abrams – “I’m living in Burbank, and I try to get back to Idyllwild at least once a month,” he said. “I’d love it to be more often, but it’s hard now.” Rather than trying to crank out a full album of original material after last summer’s “Idol” tour, Abrams took a couple of months to take stock. “It was craziness, everywhere,” he recalled. “There were so many doors opening for me and I was meeting other musicians. There was just too much going on to go right into the studio.” – Read more at My Desert.com

“I got sucked into ballet as a kid,” she tells Zap2it. “It was supposed to make me a bit more girly and graceful. I preferred to be catching frogs.” Though ballet didn’t take, the fashion sense, evident in Deeley’s glamorous wardrobe for the Wednesday dance competition, did. And that obsession started as a girl. – Read more at

    Nigel wasn’t a part of Adam/Kris season so maybe that is why he felt he could retweet that- he doesn’t have serious ties with either of them.

    That’s terrible about the picket against Carrie.  Carrie seems like she would be a spitfire if she gets mad, I think messing with Carrie is a mistake for them.  Carrie fans can also be on the vicious side if you get them fired up. Hopefully the fans will grab those signs out of their hands and smack them with it.

    Casey J is shooting the video for COAS on Tuesday. He has been growing a beard for the video to show how a guy might react to being sad his woman has left. That is how it will start then they will be going back in time showing flashbacks from what  I understand when it was good and what leads up to her leaving. It will be fun to see him do some acting.

    I wasn’t making a judgment on whether the comment was true or made up, I have no idea. Just on the fact that it was reported, which sounds to me like the same old diss against Kris. I wasn’t and still am not a fan of either Adam or Kris, they both have their weaknesses as artists IMO, but I can’t deny I feel sorry for the beating Kris still keeps taking for his win 3 years later. As for Nigel, there’s no excuse. Meh.

    Kris has his own problems, but people still being upset that he won isn’t one of them.  That’s their issue, not his, and is rather meaningless.

    I just caught the tail end of Season 2 and didn’t have a horse in that race, fortunately!

    I was there too! Awesome show! Last night’s was fantastic! Today was even better!!!! So much love for Adam! PEOPLE WERE ALL ON THEIR FEET CLAPPING!

    It has been 3 1/2 years, and some fans on both sides cant get over it. Some Adam fans upset he didn’t win, some Kris fans upset over judges comments and opportunities he didn’t get. All in all, its not that many people, it just seems like it is when its our favorite.

    Yeah that was entertaining.  He managed to go into the audience, shout out to Sauli, rip his pants, and, oh yeah, sing the shit outta that song.  Pretty freaking entertaining!!!

    lol, Adam’s pants seem to be taking the song “I Want To Break Free” a little too literally  :)

    Phil and bil are a fine guitar duo.  Disease is the perfect song for Phil’s story-telling style…love the comfortable key and clear diction.

    That looks like the same guy that backed him up at the all star game..really great….you could tell he really enjoyed that performance & could sit there and just play the guitar all day long.  That was one of my favorites from the season…I know the judges didn’t like it…but I loved it.  By the way there is a good review of the concert last night….St. Louis Post….stltoday.com.

    Phillip Phillips Towers Over Idol Pack (Music Critic Review from St. Louis)

    While the critic has praise for everyone, he said it’s Phillips’ more easygoing and natural style that seems most marketable.

    Someone said the Simon Fuller was in the audience tonight :)

    You misunderstand. That was not Marelena Rosie’s opinion, she’s quoting a Queen fan. They’re talking about Adam as they walked out the concert venue.

  • tucker davis

    I didn’t care too much for ‘Disease’ on the show but this is so much better!! Love the guitar playing and clear vocals…hope this performance gets another thread. That’s not Ben (b-i-l)…Phil introduces him at the end.

    Elliott’s hometown paper, the Richmond Times Dispatch, tells us (finally!) that he has an album out:

    Some cute stuff on the “Idol fraternity”:

    “I’m good friends with a lot of guys from my season, like Taylor and
    Ace and Bucky and Mandisa. But I’m also friends with a lot of seasons
    past like Brandon Rogers and Melinda Doolittle, and Blake Lewis is a
    good friend of mine. I’ve had the opportunity to meet a lot of great
    artists,” he said. “Who knows how long ‘Idol’ will last, but we’re etched in that kind of fraternity that will exist for many years to come.”
