Gearing up for an awards show weekend, Adam Lambert was spotted out in Toronto, Canada on Saturday afternoon (June 19).
The “American Idol” alum looked studly as he strolled past a gathered crowd of fans ahead of rehearsals for the Much Music Video Awards being held on Sunday, June 20th.
Tweeting during the course of the day

Also showing off his freshly half-shaved hairdo, Adam tried to calm down his critical fans by writing,
Calm down… Just shaved one side… :)”

This is a fantastic, laid back, and funny interview where Adam also happens to look absolutely gorgeous.
There are the usual questions that he always answers and then there are some fun things as well.
First he tells a lady in the audience, that wants to “change” him, that he won’t be changed by HER unless she’s hiding something under her skirt!!! Unfortunately for her, she isn’t hiding anything and is out of luck.
He is also asked by a gay man, if he would be willing to re-enact the onscreen kiss from the AMA’s and when Adam declines, people start making some noise to which he yells, “I am not a whore”. All in good fun, of course.
Take a few minutes and relax by watching this video…

WHEW! It took me forever to find a video that hadn’t been blocked by NBC!
I hope this one stays on here, because he is ADORABLE. Helloooooo sparkly zebra pants, yowza.
Tommy was looking pretty cute too with the big hair and eye decorations…and Monte’s mohawk is awesome!! I feel bad for Longineu and Cam, because you just don’t get to see too much of them, but we know they are there and they are just as awesome as the rest of them. The perfect Glam-Band!!
Even better yet are the vocals that never cease to amaze me, spot on.
Thank you, Jay Leno, for recognizing Adam’s beautifulness, is that even a word?? You all know what I mean, haha.

Adam Lambert is continuing on his World Domination Promo Tour. He just landed in Finland yesterday. Well, it was more like 2 days ago considering the time zone differences, but for what it’s worth, it was May 1 on the calendar! He must be finding the Finns (edited, thanks FinnFan!) very beautiful, with amazing eyes. Both Adam and Tommy are tweeting about that! He gave another amazing performance of Whattaya Want From Me? on Finland’s X-Factor and lent some valuable advice for reality show contestants. Gosh, he ought to be going down in some record book for giving the largest number of different performances of the same song. And they’re ALL beautiful! I can’t wait to see him in his new hat! I wonder what it looks like?!?
Enjoy these tweets and videos!

The first thing I noticed, other than I can’t understand their language, is he is wearing BLUE jeans!! Have we EVER seen him in blue jeans? I am sure we have but it is so rare.
His voice is sounding beautiful yet again…and he LOOKS fabulous as well…no surprises there.

The excitement was building as Part 2 of the “American Idol-Best Mentor EVER” show got closer and closer with none other than OUR very own Adam Lambert!!
Adam-Lambert-IdolImage Credit: Frank Micelotta/Fox
I can honestly say, I WAS SPEECHLESS, with tears in my eyes! All I wanted was for him to surpass all the expectations, and man did he ever. I felt like a mom wanting my child to hit that perfect note, especially after his infamous “live” performance that many people did not like. I know they were out there this evening wanting him to fail again, but that was not an option on THIS evening. THIS evening belonged to Mr. Adam Lambert, The King of the modern Glam Gods. It was on THIS night that the planets aligned, and then fate stepped in and we were forever changed as Adam Lambert fans. I, personally, will never be the same.
I was transformed back to a year ago when the butterflies took over my stomach from excitement and nerves. I found myself holding my breath as he started, and then just as quickly, that beautiful voice began to do it’s job and I was left mesmerized. Every ounce of that performance was breathtaking. From the sound of his voice, to the lasers shooting around the fog, to his gorgeous stage presentation, he left nothing to the imagination. He laid everything out there for all the world to take in.
I must say that the words to that song could not have been a better fit for him at this point in his career. Not only to have the opportunity to return to the place where this all literally began but also to be able to say to all of the people watching, “Whataya Want From Me?”, was perfect. This performance will be the one time that I think those lyrics will hit home the most. I know I melt every time I see that smile when he sings, “thanks for loving me…”. I cannot imagine not loving him. The people that watch this show though, season to season, are a huge part of the people that make up the lovers/haters of Adam. I, as well as Adam, know you either “get him” or you don’t. I like to choose to focus on the lovers of Adam, but I do know that there are haters out there waiting to watch him fail. Unfortunately for them, it did NOT happen tonight!! I also would like to think that his performance tonight just might convert some of those haters to the lovers side. Regardless, I can only hope that every single person was as visually, vocally, and emotionally satisfied as I was.
That, our dear American Idols, is how you OWN a performance. All I can say, is that I am SO PROUD to be an ADAM LAMBERT FAN.
The following are some tweets that were flying around beforehand, showing everyone’s excitement leading up to Adams singing of Whataya Want From Me. Make sure you check out that performance on the video I gave you…then make sure and tell me whatcha thought!!
~hooplamagnet~Opening Comedian for AI RT corylive: @adamlambert will b doing one song but it’s like an entire concert in one!! INSANE!!
~BlakeLewis~A.I. tonight. I’m excited to see @adamlambert back on the show. Finally a performer who can work the stage right

XO~SUE~GLAMB#10
May I just say how PROUD I am of OUR American Idol, Adam Lambert? Last night went way beyond what I had imagined him doing on that show. As they were showing the clip leading in, did anyone else tear up when you heard the first notes of his song???
First of all, he was visually stunning, as always. The hair is one of my favorite styles on him, although if I had to name one I didn’t like I probably couldn’t. Was it just me, or did they give him a whole lotta face time?
Secondly, he was truly humbled by being chosen for this role which just shows how un-diva-ish he really is. He understood that although he is just starting out, he was THE go-to guy after being in that spot just a year ago. As WE all know, he was the one doing that EXACT same thing with the people he was competing against last year. It was only fitting that they allowed him to do it out in front of the cameras, for all to see his genuine, creative, and beautiful side. Not that he even owns an ugly side.
Lastly, watching the few Idols that actually listened to his advice was awesome, especially Tim. I think that there were only a few that decided to listen to him, and Tim was the one that nailed it. Tim isn’t the greatest of singers to start with, but look what happens when you take someone with God-given talent and know-how, and combine him with a young and eager listener that is willing to learn… I thought it was great to see. I know Adam enjoyed Big Mike, and Lee was fantastic too, I thought. Watching Katie with him… how cute was that? She came out and sassed up the place!
Plus, the best part? TONIGHT!!! I am very thankful for TWO days in a row of Mr. Adam Lambert. I am off to get some stuff done so that I can clear my schedule for it…
ENJOY:
XO~SUE~GLAMB#10
I AM SOOO EXCITED FOR TONIGHTS AMERICAN IDOL!! I cannot even believe that just a year ago we were watching Adam perform, and now he is MENTORING!!
Well, I CAN believe that they chose Adam because he just has that special way about him that feels the need to help others. Most people do not realize how much of this he did LAST year while he was on the show! Who does that? Who else would try to help and make the people they are competing against better?? Not many, that would be my guess.
I am counting down the minutes until tonight, and I added a few tweets from the current American Idols after they hung out with Adam in Las Vegas…
~Tim Urban: It was so cool meeting Adam lambert! He’s such a great guy! He was a really cool mentor for this week!
~Casey James: It was great meeting Adam Lambert! He is really nice. It was awesome to talk with someone that has been in this situation. He had great advise as well! Thanks again Adam!
~Katie Stevens: Ford shoot today!! Yayyyy I’m so excited for this week! Adam was incredible! I love you all!!
LET THE COUNTDOWN BEGIN…..
XO~SUE~GLAMB#10
I just found this Canadian article about Adam mentoring this week on American Idol. I love the references by American Idol Musical Director Michael Orland. Because we know that Michael loved Adam! Read on, and keep your fingers crossed that Adam will get lots of screen time this week as mentor. I can hardly wait to hear the judges comments on air about Adam’s tutelage! It’s HUGE that Adam is the first previous Idol contestant to serve as mentor. But we knew if anyone would do it, it would be Adam!

Idol welcomes back Adam Lambert
By Alex Strachan, Canwest News Service April 11, 2010
Adam Lambert may strike some Idolators as an offbeat choice to mentor an occasionally - and some might say increasingly - out-of-tune and off-key final nine contestants on American Idol this week.
No one, though, short of Kris Allen, has more recent experience of - and appreciation for - what it really takes to make it to the end of TV’s most-watched, if not always talked-about, talent competitions.
(Idol’s back-to-back performances on March 30-31 - the most recent week for which accurate figures are available - scored 2.35 million and 2.25 million viewers respectively - behind only CSI and Survivor - as Canada’s most-watched programs on TV that week.)
Less than a year after he came within a glory note of standing at the centre of Idol’s winners’ circle, Glambert is a bona fide star.
More importantly from Idol’s longevity point-of-view, he could not be more different - as a recording artist, as a musical stylist and as a theatrical performer - than any of Idol’s previous stars, from Carrie Underwood, Kelly Clarkson, Jennifer Hudson and Jordin Sparks to Fantasia Barrino, Ruben Studdard, Chris Daughtry, David Cook and Clay Aiken.
In a revealing interview last month with USA Today, Idol music director Michael Orland - the one person who knows the contestants’ strengths and weaknesses better than anyone - recalled that Lambert had a finely honed professionalism from the day he auditioned for Idol, and even supervised his own staging and lighting set-ups for his weekly Idol performances.
The implication is that Lambert won’t just be an effective, one-week-only mentor: He may provide the remaining singers with the most valuable advice and inspiration they will hear in the six weeks between now and this season’s star-is-born moment in late May.
This is a key week for American Idol because, thanks to last week’s use of the judges’ save - which can only be used once in any given season - not one but two singers will be sent home this week.
That means that, barring sudden catastrophe or another ludicrous judging decision by Idol’s text-messaging ‘tweener voters, this year’s field will finally be narrowed to a handful of genuine contenders, including Crystal Bowersox (my personal favourite, and Simon Cowell’s “Chosen One”), Michael Lynche and Siobhan Magnus, the dark horse who’s growing by leaps and bounds and who I predict will be the eventual winner.
Of the performers who remain, Magnus - the wild card with a knack for unpredictability and an affinity for busting the rules wide open - has the most to gain from Lambert’s counsel. And she’s smart enough, and weird enough, to get exactly what Lambert is getting at.
Magnus would be wise to listen. According to Orland, who’s in a position to know, Lambert “was great, great, great” every week during his stay on Idol. Lambert has a reputation for taking risks, and flaunting his worth, and no one takes risks in this year’s Idol field like Magnus, the Cape Cod, Mass., teen whose musical influences are Janis Joplin, Billie Holiday and, get this, Courtney Love.
“And not even just her voice,” Magnus posted on her blog on Idol’s official website, “but her in-your-face/I-don’t-care-what-you-think-of-me-because-I’m-me presence.”
In a (mostly) laudatory review of Lambert’s back-to-back performances in Vancouver this past weekend, veteran music journalist Tom Harrison - The Vancouver Province newspaper’s seasoned music commentator, with decades of experience to call on - wrote that Lambert has the wherewithal to last longer than Idol finalists’ usual “best before” date, “and will be around for a while.”
This could be the week that, under Lambert’s tutelage, Magnus breaks out into the spotlight and, to paraphrase Simon Cowell from a couple of weeks ago, her life changes forever.
Adam Lambert and Siobhan Magnus, getting their inner freak on. Could this be the beginnings of a show-stopping duet on the Grammys in, say, 2012?

~No matter how old you are, no matter who you sleep with, no matter what color your skin is, we can all party together.” - Adam Lambert
What more is there really to say? I saw this quote and it made me think about how lucky we ALL are to have Adam in our world.
So, just for fun, here is MY favorite video of Adam singing “If I had You” on The Oprah Show. Why, you ask? Why not, and I am pretty sure we ALL wish we could have him so… it just seemed fitting.

Just a head’s up: Adam’s beautiful VH1 Unplugged songs will start airing on TV beginning Friday, April 9, 11 PM Pacific. They will replay Saturday morning at 2:30 AM, and I’m sure multiple times over and over.
So, while there are some lucky Glambs seeing Adam LIVE in Canada Friday night, the rest of us will have to settle for this. Not too bad, in my opinion!
What’s that I hear? Is it the sound of all the DVRs/VHS machines being programmed?? LOL!!!
Check here for all the video versions.

Short and Sweet: Adam will be on The Tonight Show With Jay Leno on March 2, 2010 – the second night it’s back on the air. If you’re going to be in the Los Angeles area, you can apply for free tickets at: http://www.thejaylenoshow.com/tickets/
Please let us know if you’ll be there. We want the Glambs representin’! Maybe we should all try to wear the same colored top? What color gets your vote?

It might have been a hint already, seeing as Adam was featured in the latest issue of Rolling Stone, in which he commented on some of the Grammy nominees (obviously flailing over Lady Gaga and Beyonce again):
And on Ryan’s radio show, Adam already gave away that it was ‘very likely’ that he would do the red carpet coverage for the Grammys; but since nothing was confirmed yet he couldn’t give the details, to Ryan’s chagrin. Now, however, Adam took his twitter to tell the world - in his completely own style - what he was going to do for the Grammys:
First, he tweeted “More good news: I will be Entertainment Weekly’s Red Carpet Coorespondant for the GRAMMYS! “Who are you wearing?!” ”
Then he obviously caught (or was made aware by a dozen twats) his latest word invention: “Correspondent. Spelling. My specialty.”
After which he realized yet another, probably even more drastic, mistake in his first tweet: “Shoot! Entertainment TONIGHT! not weekly. Hahah post-nap haze got me all stupid.”
It did already sound a bit weird, doing the Grammys coverage for EW. But in the end, the big word came out: Adam will be interviewing the celebs at the Grammys for Entertainment Tonight! Sounds like a really nice gig for him, and just imagine how awesome it would be if he would get to interview Lady Gaga on the red carpet?!
EDIT: Sorry folks, this turned out to be a rumor. Adam tweeted around 8 PM PST last night: Glee guest star rumor: it’s a rumor. Sorry guys.
Never trust the National Enquirer Kellie!!
***************************************************************
One of the hot rumors flying back and forth on the chats has been about Adam appearing on Glee. Here’s the first word of any confirmation about it. The reporter here is using the National Enquirer as her source.
Kellie Rasberry, reporting on the Kidd Kraddick In the Morning Show, says that Adam will play a mentor for Kurt, the gay character. I can only imagine the positive impact this could have for everyone. By being the first performer to be completely out-of-the-closet from the beginning of his career, Adam has already begun to change the tone of America.
The Glee episode is not scheduled to air until after the next American Idol season ends, which is in May.
Thank you so much to Fernando for starting this story! Okay AdamFans, please forgive the time lapse in the follow-up on it. With out-of-town visitors, parental surgery, and the holidays including my son’s day-after Christmas birthday, I let this go far too long.
As soon as we found out Adam was scheduled to be on Leno, four of us applied for tickets and miraculously 3 of us got them. Between us, we had 8 tickets to share with our friends and family to attend the taping. We started going through our address books and decided we only wanted true AdamFans to go, not just a relative who didn’t know much about Adam, if that’s even possible!
Of course we had to invite our web site owner Fernando, and I was so glad he was available. I hadn’t seen him since the Finale Watching Party that web site administrator Lila Hayes and I threw for the San Diego community at Seau’s, a local sports restaurant. Lila and I invited other friends and family who were already dedicated and our group of 8 was set.
Lila and I left around 8:30 AM from San Diego, stopping 3 times on our way up the coast picking up the rest of our group. In La Jolla we picked up Lila’s friend Osia, in Oceanside we got Sami, who we carpooled with to the high school on Homecoming Day, and in Irvine we got my sister Julie who had just driven out from Texas for the holidays.

If you’ve never been to a show taping before, there’s a tremendous amount of waiting. Even more if you want to be assured of a good seat! We arrived at Leno’s Burbank studios around 12:15 PM. Ticket holders had been instructed to arrive by 2:45 PM, for a 4 PM admittance. Admission wasn’t guaranteed, and we knew to get there early for good seats. There was an outdoor gathering area marked for the ticket holders, right off the sidewalk where there was limited free street parking. With our early arrival we got free parking. We were also fortunate because the weather was beautiful. A few days earlier Southern Cal was having upper 80 degee pre-Christmas weather, then some rain! But today was a calm 70s and clear.
Around 2:45 we were led to another outdoor sitting area, and welcomed by an NBC page to the Leno taping. She instructed us several times to use the porta-potties, because once we were inside, there would be no coming or going. She very nicely told us not to complain about any of our seats; “they’re free!” We were also told “no cameras – you will be ejected. No calling out during the monologue or during the guest appearance – it’s rude and will be edited out.” So no inviting Adam out to party!
We went inside to the studio in small groups so we could be seated by the ushers. There were 3 rows of chairs on the floor, and several sections that were about 20 rows high. Most of the rows in the section that was in front of where Jay and his guest sit had seats taped off with names on them. A few seats in each of these rows was available and our group of 8 was split into 3 of those rows. I was in the first row off the floor, directly in front of the guest’s chair. We were hoping that Adam would get to talk with Jay, not just perform, as he’d done on Letterman. If so, he was about 20 feet away from me! I wished I could take pictures! I sat with my friend Glenda and her friend Diana, who came up from Palm Springs and Los Angeles. I was next to where the taped off seats for our row began. I wondered who I’d be sitting next to? Lila and Osia were one row up from us, and Sami, Fernando and Julie were in the next row.
Around 4:15 PM, the VIPs were escorted to the taped off seats. When Adam’s mother Leila entered with some friends, they were led up the stairs next to my section. What if I got to sit next to her?? But they went up about 10 more rows. I imagine that she requested to sit up that high, and not be down at the stage. As soon as she sat down, I looked up and all the heads in our section were turning back and forth talking excitedly. I can only imagine how many tweets were sent!
The VIP seat next to my sister was taken by a familiar-looking guy who none of us could place, sorry! He was tattooed, had scruffy long blond hair and looked like a heavy-metal rocker. He was with his wife and an older man, probably a parent. The VIP seats next to me were taken by some people none of us recognized.
When all seats were filled, a comedian came out and started warming us up, testing our laughter levels, applause levels, and basically instructed us how to have a good time for the benefit of the sound engineers. He did some funny routines but we were all glazed over, just waiting for the show to start and the chance to see Adam and hear him sing. He told us to turn to the person next to us and hit their arm. The metal rocker dude next to my sister did just that, smacking her pretty hard. He immediately turned to her and apologized. She asked him if she should know who he was, and he kind of said yes, but he wanted to stay low-key. He was there with his wife because she was a huge Adam fan! So she never found out who he was.
During a break, I gathered my courage and went up to Leila, hoping I wouldn’t be thrown out! I introduced myself as an author from this web site, gave her one of our Glambs business cards with my contact info, and told her we’d love to do an interview with her. She smiled and said that would be fun, but didn’t give me any contact info for her! I thanked her for having such a wonderful son who is bringing so much enjoyment to so many people. She seemed really taken by that, and we shook hands and I retook my seat.
Next Jay came out and welcomed us, dressed in jeans and a denim shirt. He told us that this would be filmed in “real time,” and there would be no take-overs or edits, unless necessary. Even though we knew we weren’t getting an encore of the AMA performance, we wondered how toned down Adam would be! Jay made a fuss over an audience member who was celebrating her 19th birthday with some college friends and they took pictures. He then went backstage to change and his band came out and started to play.
From the video, you can see how the rest of the taping went. Since this was filmed in real time, the band played throughout all the commercial breaks. They sounded great and the lead singer is a very talented woman. She went into the audience pulling members up to sing into the microphone. When she came up the aisle next to me, they were doing an older song that I knew by heart and was singing. She pulled me up and gave me the microphone, and somehow I remembered all the words and even sounded on key! For the life of me, I can’t remember what song it was, and neither can anyone from our group! Fernando, can you help? I’m sure this will be the closest to singing with Adam that I will ever come. At least we shared the same air!
Jay seemed very interested in talking to Adam, reaching over and touching his leg or arm several times. I think that Adam is a dream guest. He is a great conversationalist and is very at-ease on camera. His “safe plucking” comment was very quick and got a big laugh from Jay! One very interesting note to point out, when they were talking about the 2 rumors Adam wanted to dispel, Adam couldn’t remember what the second one was, and asked for help. An assistant came up behind him and said “your father” loud enough for us all to hear. From there, Adam went on and quashed the rumor about his dad being upset about his AMA performance. But you’ll never see that part. It was edited out, and you’ll just see a scene break at 6:59 going from rumor one to rumor two. From now on, when we see a scene break on future shows, we’ll know that there was an edit.
Then it was a commercial break and Adam would sing next. We were all so excited. We couldn’t imagine him singing without his band, but none of the instruments were set up. Then a screen to the left of where Adam and Jay talked lifted and we saw Adam’s band. Phew! The set started filling with fog, the lights went down and then Adam was on! He and the band sounded great. It’s different than when he performed on the Idol Tour. He’s his own performer now. He looked right at the audience most of the time while he was singing and Sami thought he was looking at our group because we were all mouthing the words! I’ll go with it!
During Adam’s performance, Jay was standing at the edge of the set, moving his legs back and forth to the music, keeping his eyes intently on Adam and the band. We’ve all seen Adam and Tommy Joe go back to back in other performances, and I was so happy to see him do it here too. But during that part of the playback, the camera is focused on Lisa and her keyboard. You really have to look to see Adam and Tommy Joe, and you only get a brief moment of it at 2:48. Was this intentional?
They went to commercial, and Adam and his band went back stage. The warm-up comedian was right in front of me, so I gave him one of our Glambs business cards and asked that he give it to Adam. He said he would. I have no idea whether it happened, but it can’t happen if I don’t try!
Next was the Mrs. Claus skit. If you ask me, it was pretty “dirty,” talking about Santa’s “fat ass” and what it was like to be underneath him, and how she’d “had the elves up to here.” Graphic: her hand was waist high, insinuating oral sex, but since this was hetero, I guess it was okay.
Then it was over and we exited the studio, all feeling so grateful to have been there that day. Not knowing the area, we searched the GPS for restaurants and picked Michael’s Bar & Grill, close by.
We were giddy (and starving!) from the entire day’s experiences, grateful we had shared a day of Adam’s life with each other. We can’t wait for the tour, and for when we get to hear and see Adam again! I hope that you all get to have an experience like this for yourself too!

Even though he isn’t scheduled to appear as a guest/performer until December 21, last night’s Leno already provided a dose of Adam! In a little segment towards the end of the show, Owen Benjamin was fumbling around with a mistletoe and proclaiming that he would ‘kiss the first person coming around the corner!’. Which, of course, happened to be dearest Adam - and to see how it ended, watch the video! He’s such a great actor, needs to do something with that talent as well! Movie, anyone?!
Adam seems to be very loved by Jay Leno already; apart from constantly being featured in his monologues (”The paper said today that they were shocked that Adam Lambert kissed a man. Anyone surprised by that? I’m not. If he would have kissed a girl, I’d be stunned!” - after the AMAs, one of the many shoutouts Adam’s received from his show); Jay even went as far as dressing up in the costume Adam wore during the AI finals while performing with Kiss! Should make for a very entertaining episode next monday, all tune in to watch our Adam! (NBC at 10/9c). Watch the snippet from Jay Leno in which he tries on Adam’s costume below.
Last night, after SYTYCD, Adam made another appearance - on E!’s Chelsea Lately. An early commercial had host Chelsea Handler calling Adam ‘a woman’, and she promptly went on to introduce him as ‘the gayest thing to come out of American Idol since Clay Aiken’.. and the first questions dealt with Adam’s redheaded-ness and his weight. Perfectly cliché, hopes for good Adam moments weren’t high at that point.
However, Adam seemed to have a good time dealing with Chelsea’s sarcasm and quick wit - actually added in his own twist when the host invited him to come on her show whenever he felt the need to relive the AMA performance. She brought out a gay staff member who’d be happy to participate - after which Adam swiftly replied ‘Yeah, all gays like all gays, so you know.. Every man is attractive to every gay man, so it should work out!’. Touché. And an extra plus, he looked gorgeous as always!
From there, the conversation covered the album cover, Lady Gaga (He’s turning into her spokesperson. Seriously.), Madonna (’we had a mutual friend who introduced us..’ Chelsea: ‘Lourdes?’), and what is probably a first for him on television, Adam feeling comfortable enough to discuss drugs - particularly his acid-tripping that led to him auditioning for Idol; yet casually steering away from the topic: ‘Protect the children!’
Overall, he seemed to have a good time, his infectious laughter and giggling apparent throughout the interview. And obviously, Chelsea was smitten with him!

Well, WE all know he is fascinating (and about a 1,000 other adjectives)…but somehow when Barbara Walters says it, it has more clout! Walters says she chose Adam because he was a “prominent name” in the entertainment industry, and he is “rather fond of the shock factor” when he performs. Uh….yeah! The Barbara Walters Special airs December 9th on ABC. (Don’t worry ABC, Adam’s not performing, and I doubt he is going to grab Barbara for a lip-lock!) Dana, Glamb #6
ARTICLE:
As the year comes to a close, Barbara Walters has selected her choices for her “Barbara Walters Presents: The 10 Most Fascinating People of 2009.”
And politician Sarah Palin, songstress Lady GaGa, and newcomer Adam Lambert have all made the cut for this year’s show.
According to Walters, GaGa and Lambert were chosen because they’re two of the most prominent names in entertainment- and they’re both rather fond of the shock factor when they perform.
Meanwhile, Mrs. Palin has made quite a name for herself over the past year with her political career as well as becoming a bestselling author. The Barbara Walters special airs December 9th at 10pm EST on ABC.

It’s time for Part Three of this four-part interview. Here, Adam talks about his time in “Wicked,” being in a long-distance romance, and his audition for American Idol.
~Carol~
So you left “Wicked” to become a rock star?I came back [to Los Angeles] and took some promo shots and started rehearsing. We had a handful of songs. I don’t know if any of them were great, but it was a start. At the time, we believed in them. We did a couple gigs here and there. The band was called the Citizen Vein. We performed at the Knitting Factory one night, the Cat Club on Sunset, and a club in Hermosa Beach. We did three gigs and that was it and we recorded a couple things, like rough recordings, and I don’t know, it didn’t quite click. We kept writing and doing things, but then I got into my first relationship and I fell in love and I was going out a lot. I was dressing up, just living my life and having a great time. Falling in love was major. It changed everything, because up until then, I was 25 and I hadn’t been in love. I felt like there was a part of me that was like, “I don’t understand something about life, like a big thing.” I listened to these songs on the radio or CDs or I’d see these musicals about people being in love with each other and what that feels like and what heartbreak feels like and the joy of what love is and I had sex but I’d never been in love and just didn’t get it. It was really interesting because during and after that relationship, everything changes. It’s like, “Oh, that’s what they were talking about.” I thought that was so corny before and now I am crying because I totally identify with what that feels like. So that was a big turning point for personal growth.
I went to Burning Man… which was another big eye opener. People living in this utopian society and how beautiful that idea is — and after Burning Man, I looked for social outlets here in L.A. that were part of that underground scene, not the typical bar scene but more of a neo-hippie movement.
Adam is on the left and Cheeks is in the middle
You know, these underground clubs downtown. That was a really fun community to become a part of. Then I did a production of “Debbie Does Dallas” in Lake Tahoe. It was a topless revue at Harveys Casino. I was desperate. I could not find a job. It was going to pay me. They were going to put me up. It was with Anita Mann, the woman who did the cruise ship. I went up there and I was missing the person I was with and I was miserable because I was in a long-distance relationship and the show, when it was pitched to me, sounded like it was going to be a different situation and it tuned out to be not the most professional situation in the world. There was hardly an audience. They wanted to see boobs. They didn’t want to hear me sing, so they would talk. It was not a good gig.
I heard they were rehiring for the Los Angeles company of “Wicked,” and it had been about a year since I had been out of the touring company. They were going to form a new company and I thought, “I don’t know why I left. That was so stupid. I need to get that job.” And so I begged. They said, “Why did you leave? We don’t know if you’re just going to leave again. It’s a liability for us.” I told them, “No, no, no. I was stupid. I was lonely on tour. I wasn’t satisfied and had outside opportunities. I really want to be in a sit-down company and then I can work on all my outside stuff and still work on the show,” and they said fine. So I came back and I opened the L.A. company of “Wicked.”
As Fiyero again?
The understudy, yes. Exactly the same thing.
For the same actor?
This was a different guy. He was out a little more often, so I got to go on more, during the almost two years we were open here.
So you stayed for the entire Los Angeles run?
I stayed. I lived right down the street from the theater, and I really enjoyed being a part of it. It was a great job, and it was nice to have money again in the city and live my life. There was a producer I started working with. He was forming his own publishing company for placement in film and TV and advertising campaigns, so they hired me to be a songwriter. And so I would go down there a couple days a week during the day and lay stuff down and write and really started to build a nice collection of music and I felt like it was at a much better level. I’d learned more about writing, about pop hooks, how it all works. Through trial and error, we got some good stuff. I was doing some session work here and there, so I was really starting to move toward, “I really think I should go for this now.” I felt more confident and I started getting frustrated with “Wicked.” I felt they weren’t promoting me and it wasn’t satisfying. I started performing at clubs, just to get my name out there. I was going to release music. I really got into the idea of becoming a solo act. I think a couple years before, the idea of that really scared me because I was concerned about, “How are people going to think of me?” and “I’m never going to have a private life if I do that.”
I didn’t think I was ready for that. I didn’t think I could handle it and then I really got into the idea of it. I had turned 26 and felt, “I’m getting old and I still haven’t been to New York yet.” I knew there was work for me in the theater and I could move to New York and probably work there, but I’m particular and I never really considered myself the best actor in the world. I wanted to be myself, so I was less and less enchanted with the idea of musical theater. There weren’t a lot of shows that were interesting to me musically or conceptually. I wanted to do my own thing. So I started experimenting, doing club acts and the pop/dance thing.
I sang and I had two dancers and we were wearing really wild clothes and then I was doing stuff with Upright Cabaret. It was like the New York tradition of having all the show actors and people in town come together and sing, like Joe’s Pub [in New York]. I met a lot of great people through that and got a lot of attention.
Where did you think this was all leading?
I put my faith in the producer that I was working with, Monte Pittman, that when all this music was finished, he was going to do all the work to get it out there, and he did do a lot of work. But he had just come from New Zealand. He was really established there, but he was new here, like an outside player. So I didn’t know how quickly that was going to happen, and I wondered, “What are my other options?” And last year when “Idol” was on, we were all watching it at “Wicked” and everybody would discuss their opinions of who did better and why, and then somebody said, “Adam, you should audition for that,” and I thought, “Yeah, maybe I should.”
This happened during Season 7?
Yes, but I watched a lot of the seasons. Not all of them, but a lot of them.
When did you first watch the show?
I watched the first season. I remember Kelly [Clarkson] was on and she was great. I was really excited, but I didn’t think they were going to like me. I thought I was too out there.
You are a little out there!
I am a little out there, but I’m kind of a strategist in that I knew what I could get away with and what I probably couldn’t get away with, so I tried to dumb myself down for the first couple auditions. You know, look a little more normal, dress a little bit more low key.
Where did you audition?
In San Francisco. I drove up with two of my best friends. The next morning I had gotten an hour’s sleep because I was really anxious, and right as I auditioned, I reached this epiphany where I thought, “You’re about to be 27. What do you have to show for yourself? You’ve done a couple shows. You’re working. You know you can pay your bills but do you want to do something great? Do you want to do something major and launch yourself? Yeah, I do,” and I knew that “Idol” was going to be, if I could get it, such a platform. I’d seen people that had been on “Idol” and were eliminated playing leads on Broadway, and I knew that’s the way New York is now. If you’re on TV and you’re a celebrity, you can get a lead in a Broadway show. I thought that’s what I should do because they don’t seem to want to promote me at “Wicked.” The worst-case scenario is that it would enhance my career in the theater and the best-case scenario is that I could do really well — and I didn’t know what it was going to be.
You knew the odds were against you, but that was OK, right?
Yes. I walked into the first audition with the judges, and Simon and Kara said, “You’re theatrical.” I had a feeling it was going to go down like this. They’re going to be, “Oh, he’s too Broadway,” even though I don’t feel like I actually am when I sing. I’m theatrical, but I don’t think that it’s necessarily musical theater.
What did you sing at your first audition?
I sang “Crazy” by Gnarls Barkley and then “Bohemian Rhapsody,” and they said, “Don’t sing ‘Crazy’ at the next audition because they can’t get the rights to it and everybody tries to sing it.” I sang [“Rock With You” by] Michael Jackson and they wanted to hear another one so I sang “Bohemian Rhapsody” and that’s the one they ended up showing on TV.
Were you a Queen fan?
I’m a huge Queen fan. Freddie’s the man. He’s the voice. Just the musicianship required to sing that kind of music is really high. It’s very melodic and rangy and dramatic and I appreciate all that.
Could you ever have imagined while auditioning with “Bohemian Rhapsody” that a few months later you’d be on stage singing lead vocals with Queen?
Weird. It’s weird full circle stuff all around. It’s thrilling, but it almost loses its impact in a funny way, like, “Oh, of course I’m onstage with Queen.” What the hell’s going on? “Of course, KISS.” I can’t believe it. This can sound very pretentious if taken the wrong way but I almost feel like I’ve been preparing for this my whole life. I do feel this is what I’m supposed to be doing and I have a fatalistic view on life that things happen for a reason. I feel like everything that’s led up to this point has prepared me for this. It’s the whole “Slumdog Millionaire” thing, where it’s like his whole life like leads up to that moment and the only way he gets through that moment is because of all of his experiences. I went to see “Slumdog” as this was all happening and I was just in tears because I was so touched by the concept of that movie. And I wouldn’t have done what I did on the show had it not been for what I’ve gone through and my experiences in my life and what age I’m at. I wouldn’t have been that confident. I would have been second guessing myself. I would have been really busy people-pleasing as opposed to just doing what I do. It was meant to be now.

Adam Lambert visits the Regis and Kelly Show today.
Medicine for your withdrawals.
The crowd goes crazy when Adam shows up. Everyone loves Adam. Watch it here in High Quality, GREAT interview. Once again, I’m adamazed on how articulatr and how much connection he usually has with the interviewers. They talk about his experience, his background, his family, and his perspective on American Idol.
The best part is talking about that this was not to him a ‘competition’ but a platform where he was competing with himself. Watch below:
Interview:
Performing Mad World:
Mad World is one of those songs that has the ‘initial’ shock value but afterwards it becomes repetitive. The lyrics are so meaningful, powerful and unfortunately real to some people that you can only listen to it so much or it becomes almost… depressing. I really think Adam needs to perform ‘Change is Gonna Come,’ ‘Tracks of my Tears,’ or even ‘Whole Lotta Love.’
Adam are you reading this bro?
Anyways, who cares what I think, we want to know what do YOU think? Comment below.
Video of Adam singing Mad World in New York City at the CBS Early Show at 59th/5th avenue on May 26th, 2009. He was singing under freezing conditions with a lot of wind and of course he sounded just as good as every other performance. A lot more coming so stay tuned guys!!
