MJ's blog has the audition videolink They mention in that audition he was in the cast of Wicked and some other acting stuff, so that gets him plant status. There are other even more plantier people. He's got a wild side we haven't seen on AI so far, but there are some interesting pictures over on VFTW. ![](http://community.realitytvworld.com/boards/User_files/46ca9e126da63c23.gif)

Warning this link to the blog page that links to the video has spoiler info. MJ's Blog ETA: There are some links to some youtubes of him, not sure if those links are still good.

I am not getting the appeal of this guy. I think he is a screecher. I don't think he sings that well.I don't see the stage presence that some have said he has. I just see some guy leering into the camera. What he did to Satisfaction was horrendous. The song last night was pretty bad to begin with, but his spin on it made my ears bleed. I just don't get it.

Brilliant, awful or indifferent?I really liked a lot of it. It toned down his big Ethel Merman show business voice into something I could listen to. It was certainly unique, and he was awfully cute after the song was done because he knew it was either going to get him high praise or serious criticism. I wasn't much of a fan before but during the quieter parts of the song I was very much liking his voice. What did you think?

So far, I think Adam has just gone from being 'really good' to being so far beyond any Idol Audioner in the past, at least, 5 seasons?? I would give exception to a few, namely Jennifer Hudson, Carrie Underwood, and a few others, who have made their names go on, long after Idol's season pulled up tent.I honestly don't see how anyone else could possibly win this contest, based on talent alone. And he isn't smirky, cocky, or haughty by any means-that I have seen, anyway. Plus, I couldn't agree more about "Ring of Fire"-I loved the quirky rendidion, whether he came up with it or not, he pulled it off splendidly!!!

43. "RE: Ring of Fire" |
Simon tells it like it is. Adam was self indulgent & pretentious. We all know Simon doesn't like Country music. & I said to DH at the beginning of the show that Simon should keep his opinions on country music to himself and critique the performances. Simon is seldom going to give praise to any country song. But he did realize that Adam did not make any fans in Tennessee.& I agree with okaychatt: Adam was fake & full of himself. The guy has a voice and knows how to re-arrange a song - whatever. But? he could have some respect for the genre of music he was asked to perform. He showed no respect for country music. He said he has no intention of going to Nashville; that's fine - just don't make fun of or ridicule country music. Personally I can't stand hard rock or rap. But I can appreciate a performer who does not normally sing a particular genre of music giving his/her all to a song. Adam made a mockery of the song; and of how he feels about country music. Just the opinion of one life-time country music fan. Sliced Strait From the Heart

Glowie! I was thinking of you the entire time during Adam's song. I knew you were loving it. I could feel your orgasm.I? loved it too. I thought it was terrific. What some call fake, indulgent, and full of himself, I call sheer genius and artistry. He is an artist and he's in his glory getting to display it. I've come to the conclusion that he probably doesn't care if he wins, he just wants the exposure and he's got their attention. What he does is original, deliberate, and intentional. He knows what he's doing and why. He is so superior to any of the other contestants that he really doesn't even belong there. Randy was spot on. He. got. it. Simon? Did. not.

After the 3/17 performance, I have to say that I was very impressed by the imagination and the daring it took to perform that song that way, and by his raw talent. And he pulled it off IMO, although at first I was sure he wasn't going to.It’s as if he decided that come what may - screw the show - he just wasn’t going to perform a CW song. So he took a CW song and turned it into his own musical art form. That was a performance that will be remembered. Besides having outstanding vocal ability, he has shown himself to be an artist. Still looks weird and off-putting, for me at least.

54. "RE: Adam Lambert" |
oh! When Randy said, "not a lot of people know that was Jeff Buckley's version of Ring of Fire" I went crazy because WHAT! I've never heard Jeff Buckley sing "Ring of Fire"! Try as I might, I couldn't find it. I just tried again and found this. So I guess what Randy was trying to say on Tuesday night, when he told Adam he sounded like Trent Reznor, what he actually meant was, Jeff Buckley (?). And yes, I can see Adam's incredible vocals being compared to the great Buckley (to an extent). And I suppose, in retrospect, I can understand why he said NIN. Because I suppose I could see Adam recording an NINish album. And also I guess I overreacted when Randy said "current" in relation to NIN because they do still put out music and people do still listen to it (myself included). Trent is extremely talented and totally relevant. So I'll take the comparison. It just sounded bizarre to me at first. Because when I think of what Adam would record, I think of electro-pop. Pop Goes the Camera Kiss and TellI've never had the opportunity to listen to music from The Citizen Vein though so that could be supremely different. And his voice allows him to pretty much do whatever kind of music he wants to. I still want Randy to go away though.![](http://community.realitytvworld.com/boards/User_files/49ac554540773b87.gif) "What he does is original, deliberate, and intentional.

Dayum, I love this kid!This is so strange. My musical taste, while a little eclectic, leans heavily to Southern rock. My previous faves on AI included Bo, Taylor, and even Bucky. I love them gravely voiced Southern boys. Adam has nothing in common with what I normally like. I do believe he is insanely talented, mega interesting, and I really don't think I want to watch AI this season if he's not there. That said, ITA with Glow about it being better for him if he doesn't win. They'll try to force him into some craptastic popified box he doesn't belong in, and it would be a disaster. *sigh*

56. "RE: Adam Lambert" |
I agree 110%! I also love Southern rock and still listen to Bo and Daughtry all the time. But there's something very compelling about Adam, besides just his incredibly talented vocal skills (not to understate those, though, because he definitely has one of the best voices I've ever heard.) I love the fact that he does what he feels is right for him, regardless of anyone else's opinion (and who cares what Randy Travis thinks anyway? How relevant is he in the music industry nowadays? Besides, don't get me started on that horsey looking smile - what is WRONG with that man?) Adam is original, wickedly talented, and smolders into the camera like no one I've ever seen. And maybe it's just me, but the first time he did so, I caught glimpses of Elvis coming through - something about his sensual sneer and those damn eyes. (And before any Elvis fanatics start screaming bloody murder, I'm not comparing Adam to him in any way, other than a few physical traits I noticed that may or may not have simply been tricks of the camera.) Adam is unique and, in a contest that generally features generic singers, it's great to see someone who stands out. He's definitely one of those people that you either love or hate - compared to most of the others, who are so middle of the road that they'll be quickly forgotten after the show ends. I doubt anyone forgets Adam any time soon!

"They'll try to force him into some craptastic popified box he doesn't belong in, and it would be a disaster."It would be a disaster. I find myself trying to put him in a box somewhere too because that's what we do. Like, so and so doesn't like so and so because they're too country. That kind of thing. I too have extremely eclectic musical tastes. If I had to tell you where I lean, I'd say "alternative" rock... whatever that's supposed to mean. I listen to Octane and Alt Nation on Sirius (when I can even stand to listen to music on the radio... and I think that's ultimately why I love these shows, but that's a whole other post. All I want to do is cry or stick pencils through my eardrums when I listen to terrestrial radio). I think really the only thing you can say Adam is, is eclectic. Because what he does is takes everything and puts it all together and makes it freaking amazing. I could seriously watch this this on loop for days. We've never seen anything like this on American Idol. Who could have ever hoped to? This guy is a risk taker and he's brilliant. I love reading what everybody says about him. Good or bad. (It's that in between stuff that freaks me out.) Amazing. If American Idol knew this is what they were giving us and he didn't do a 180 on them (and he doesn't end up doing a 180 on us), I will give them huge props. ![](http://community.realitytvworld.com/boards/User_files/49ac554540773b87.gif) "What he does is original, deliberate, and intentional.

I'm with geekboy. That last picture is what I don't get about Adam or ANY guy who dresses like that, for that matter. I'm not a fan of Freddie Mercury or David Bowie - but I'll listen to their music. Seeing that is just a big turn off for me. I can, however, appreciate the music, the artistry, and the talent.

I take your comment differently than I take geekboy's ("what he gained in credibility with me last night was completely lost with that last picture" ~ which I found a bit offensive). It doesn't sound like you're "with" him at all really. You don't get it (boys dressing like girls, right?) but you can appreciate everything else. I shudder to think how offended he would be if somebody were to come in here and post some of the other pictures. He was dressed like that for a show of some sort (or perhaps it was Halloween). It's not like he walks around like that. Just like I'm sure he doesn't walk around wearing a shiny Motown suit with greasy, slicked back hair. But so what if he did? Seriously. ![](http://community.realitytvworld.com/boards/User_files/49ac554540773b87.gif) Thankfully it is my time to leave for the day.

I'm going to throw my 2 cents in, just because it's middle ground. The make up in the last pic is haute couture (sp?). I don't like HC on anyone, male or female. I think it hides peoples faces who don't need hiding. I appreciate it as part of performance art, however, so I roll with it. I actually don't have a problem with Adam using eyeliner to accentuate those fabulous eyes, it also helps his cheekbones look sharper. With his hair swept back sans liner, all I could look at was his forehead. Not that he looked bad, but he knows how to play up his best features. As for the outfit in the last pic, the only thing I was truly bothered by were the platforms and that he looked too darn skinny.

78. "So" |
I was all ready to hate the guy. Appearing IMO as a poser and someone so full of himself and really not the real deal, as many above have mentioned. I thought he would be good too. So he would not fit in my cheesy, entertaining to root for category a la Sanjaya. I stand completely corrected. He certainly does not belong on AI, too bad Rock Star is off. He is so far and above better than any contestant there is. Do I dig his wardrobe choices? Not always but sometimes yes. Not important. I feel the same way about Elton John, Freddie Mercury, Peter Gabriel, David Bowie etc. It is just the way they are. Posing? Maybe but mostly for themselves I believe. So now I have someone to look forward to who is not only entertaining but also has the talent to sustain it. I absolutely adored Ring of Fire. Moulin Rouge here he comes! You've been hotpocketed!

New topic for you Lambert-heads out there.Do you think a person like Adam, with his broadway background, all his eccentricities, his showmanship, and so on.... Do you think he really wants to win American Idol? Or do you think he wants to ride this to perhaps the top 4? Side question - would Adam benefit more from winning Idol, or from NOT winning Idol?

Look at the video clip in post #74. Yes, he wants to win. He seems to know exactly what he is doing being on the show. Yes, he would benefit more by winning, fame/$ wise. Happiness wise--that's another question. Is David Cook better off from winning? Yes, he compared it to his pre idol album and how hard that was to sell. Is David Cook happy? I don't know, but the cloying fans are getting to him--he posted a "back off" message on his site. Apparently one or more fans attached a GPS tracker to his bus; they try to call or get to his hotel room, etc. (And how does this differ from other popular rock groups that have cloying fans? Don't know.). Looking at Melinda doing a "spring break" tour with other former idols...it's probably better to win; spend the time with the cloying fans; put the $$ away and in a few years do what you want.

95. "RE: Adam Lambert" |
He certainly looked better for Mad World. I didn't understand why he was all in white until I saw his lighting. On a technical level, that last note of Mad World bothers me. Some of his OTT fans are trying to throw out there that he did that on purpose and that it's "progressive." On the other hand, most soft falsetto is off, I'm just not used to it from him. We'll find out when the studio version is released. His stage presence/performance was certainly more artistic for Mad World. Can't I treat them like my kids? I love them both equally for different reasons.

What if Adam is so ahead of the game that he throws a note, on purpose, so that he has a higher performance place to go to later, as in "perfect"? Dunno, just thinking out loud. Seemed odd for him to blow the note at the end...

98. "RE: Adam Lambert" |
Technically perfect singers don't make it far on idol, but he's usually so careful of his falsetto because he knows as well as we do that mistakes in that register stick out like a sore thumb. He's had a few notes here and there that were a little suspect, but he was almost a full half step sharp. I've said in a couple of other threads that the degree of difficulty on that song is insane, so I don't dislike the performance because of 1 sour note, I'm just not used to him missing that badly. Thats why I want to hear the studio version, although I suspect it will be like the rehearsal version they showed during the recap. I had to buy the video version, and after listening to it more times today than I will ever admit to publicly, it sounds like he was going to embelish the note and changed his mind a split second too late. Or maybe he just missed.

109. "RE: Adam Lambert" |
I'm sure I won't be the last to reply to this. To me, his appeal lies in his incredible range and his command of that range. He does things with his voice that are very difficult and it's obvious he works very hard. The kinds of things he does don't just come naturally. So even when I wouldn't necessarily like some of his performance choices artistically, I can always appreciate the technical skill it took to perform it. Plus his stage presence is astounding. Very comfortable, never rattled, very sexy. The only critique I have is that his performance have all been very literal to date. I'd like to see some irony/juxtaposition in his choices. That may also make the performances less theatrical, if he's so inclined. But trying to do that in 2 minutes may be more trouble than it's worth and may get lost in TV translation.

111. "RE: Adam Lambert" |
I don't really know what to say that hasn't already been said. Adam is probably the epitome of you get it or you don't.I find Adam completely captivating. He’s charming without trying to be. He has this way about him that makes you believe him. Even though you know he’s theatrical and affected, he is somehow still real and totally unaffected. He doesn’t have to put these wild antics into his performances but he does anyway because that’s who he is. Simon told Randy something along the lines of asking Adam not to be theatrical is like asking a cow not to moo. Maybe at some point in his life, while he was becoming Adam, he came across as fake but he certainly doesn’t now. But probably not. It’s more maybe just like a child learns to talk or a calf learns to moo, Adam learned to do what he does and it’s just him now. You have no idea what he’s going to do. You don’t know what to expect because what ends up happening is never what you expected. And it’s always amazing. If you don’t like to look at him or can’t take your eyes off of him, the undeniable fact is that he does things with his voice that are mesmerizing. If you just stop thinking about it or analyzing what he’s doing, if you just listen, it’s beautiful. It’s always beautiful. He’s wonderful to the point of it doesn’t even matter if he’s actually good at what he does because he is so in tune with himself. He knows exactly who he is. He knows exactly what he’s doing and thankfully, for those of us who appreciate him, he’s completely brilliant at it. Adam is Adam. And, no matter how hard I try, there’s not really a way to describe that. ![](http://community.realitytvworld.com/boards/User_files/49ac554540773b87.gif) "What he does is original, deliberate, and intentional. He knows what he's doing and why. He is so superior to any of the other contestants that he really doesn't even belong there." - Tahj

112. "RE: Adam Lambert" |
Hi all.I've done my share of 'Adam bashing' on this board. Wednesday night while watching the return of Taylor Hicks to Idol, I came to a realization that i want to share. Back in Season 5 when Taylor Hicks first auditioned, i was mesmerized by his vocals, his performance, and just him being him. I backed this guy from day one and took a lot of heat on this board because some people 'just didn't get' Taylor. What i saw was a guy that lived and breathed this music. It was a part of him from birth, and he just had this natural soul that came through effortlessly when he sang. He became one with the music and his performance and i just loved it. I can understand how some people see Adam as just like that, even though I don't 'get him'. Taylor was, and still is, just as polarizing as Adam seems to be. Even though i don't get him and his fanbase, i can relate because i was in that boat for Season 5. A big part of me is rooting for one of the other three to win, but there is a part me of that remembers season 5 and how much i became emotionally attached to Taylor. For all his fans, i will be happy if he pulls it off. geekboy ![](http://www.edgarware.com/alan/sig/sigtest4.jpg) "I think what Randy Travis was trying to say was 'What the hell was that?!'" - S.

Simon is on The Ellen Show today. She asked him who he thinks "should" win. Simon's answer was Adam. He says anyone of the final 4 could win. But for many reasons he describes that Adam should be the winner.

Anyone else notice the "Angels and Demons" and Hollywood goes back to Church right next to his face? I'm surprised they don't have a pic of Gokey or Kris on the front just to really bring it home. I do realize that Angels and Demons is not actually Church friendly, but it's just the placement and wording.

125. "RE: Opera critics review Adam" |
What a terrific article! If only the judges could give a review that's even close to what some of these people were saying--for example:" Adam’s diction in this song is impeccable, something that’s the hallmark of a great singer in any genre (Frank Sinatra and Ella Fitzgerald come to mind, but also Renee Fleming and Bryn Terfel). That ability helps him to bend syllables and color certain words, making the communication of the overall song a joy to experience. He seems as if he’s improvising his embellishments (”licks”) on the spot; it doesn’t matter if they’re plotted within an inch of their lives. He makes it seem completely fresh which, after all, is the whole point. The phrasing makes me realize that he knows this song from the inside and is letting us in on the secret of the song, giving us some precious insight that only he might have known before. The register breaks in his falsetto are masterfully covered so that everything sounds seamless and perfectly legato. A wonderful, engaging and touching performance."

Adam and KissOh yeah - Adam's going to be just fine. I've got to admit that even I was surprised by this article: Adam Lambert Tour With KISS, Needs Armor American Idol runner up Adam Lambert has been offered the chance to join rockers KISS on tour. Lambert, who came second to Kris Allen on Wednesday night’s finale, has a big fan in Gene Simmons, who has welcomed the pop sensation on tour with him. Many that watched the show believed that the highlight performance of the finale was the pairing of Lambert with the legendary rock band and Simmons, a marketing mastermind seemed to love the idea of working with the singer in the future. “Adam was fantastic,” the KISS frontman told a nightly entertainment show. “What a powerful and attractive man he is.” And the legendary axe man admitted he could see Lambert rocking out with his band. Simmons said: “He can come on tour whenever he’d like. Of course he’d have to put his armour on because the fans, especially the KISS fans, take no prisoners. You gotta go big. Gotta be strong. You gotta be a rock, baby!” And Lambert, 27, has already responded to Simmons’ offer. He said: “That would be amazing … I would love that.”

The 27-year-old American Idol alum picked up YH Artist of the Year and was presented by Idol judge Kara DioGuardi. The ceremony recognized the outstanding accomplishments of emerging artists and showcased the future of Hollywood’s best and brightest. Naturi Naughton performed a song from the upcoming film Fame and guests enjoyed spinning by DJ AM. Meanwhile, Ryan and Conan talk about Adam Lambert and how he should have won American Idol. “If people didn’t vote for the singing, that’s a shame,” said Ryan. However, he thinks both Adam Lambert and Kris Allen will have fantastic careers ahead of them.
