Adam Lambert - news thread

[amyrebo]

I am not one to normally visit the Perez Hilton site, but someone posted this link so I went to check it out.

I haven't listened to any of Adam's pre-idol recordings so this was new to me. Meh. At least on this particular song.

There's gotta be more to the story. If I find out what it is, I'll pass it along.
I sure hope it's authorized and that Adam gets money from it. Remember Taylor's Nashville sessions and the guy who was trying to make a buck on it?

Taylor had to keep Under the Radar "under the radar" and Cook couldn't release "Analog Heart".

The song's pretty monotonous. I hope it's not something Adam wanted under wraps.

From Adam's Official Forum

Quote:"Back in 2005 when I was a struggling artist, I was hired as a studio singer to lend my vocals to tracks written by someone else. I was broke at the time and this was my chance to make a few bucks, so I jumped at the opportunity to record for my first time in a professional studio. The work I did back then in no way reflects the music I am currently in the studio working on. I'm thrilled to be working with some of today's hottest songwriters and producers and can't wait for people to hear what my music really sounds like."

Then ran here to post it ! . . As usual with my stuff .. blue = link.

Lambert’s “2012 ” Song Is “Truly Sensational,” Brian May Says

Outtakes

Quote:Now, thanks to Queen guitarist Brian May’s blog, we know what movie will feature one of Lambert’s first post-Idol songs: The apocalyptic flick 2012. . . . . . . . . . . 2012 hits theaters November 13th, and Lambert’s debut album is also due out in November.

Quote:“I’m not easily moved to jelly by male vocalists … but Adam’s voice reaches out with sensitivity, depth, maturity, and awesome range and power which will make jaws drop all around the world. It’s an awesome performance. No doubt about it. The world of Rock has a bright new star,” May writes.

It's going to be fascinating to hear what Adam releases over the next few years-he has so many different styles and such range. I predict he will be in a lot of movie soundtracks. I hope he gets $$ from whatever they're releasing so soon too. Wonder if the rules are different for the actual winners of Idol vs. #2?

UHMAWH . . . Afraid I don't understand what you mean about the rules . . or am missing a piece of info. Songs used in soundtracks generate revenue to everyone who owns a piece of the song I think . . also think there are legalities that mandate that. So . . huh ?

[UHadMeAtWooHoo]

Sorry, I meant rules from Idol-whether they have different standards for winners vs. runners up on releasing previously recorded material. Whether they are tied to the same types of contracts or not.

Gotcha Liz . . thanks.

Followed a link grapevine from a "real news" story and ended up on this website page.

Not that he needs it . . but he could certainly have a fallback career as a model - he can wear anything with panache - and the camera loves him.

couple shots from the collection

..

[UHadMeAtWooHoo]

Yep, he has IT in spades. That hard to describe but you know he has it thing lol Love that first shot-so artistic!

Thanks to THawks for posting this in the AI8 Tour thread . . am also putting it here because thought this would be fun to keep with the other bits about Adam.

Great recap - a very fun read . . this person should write for a living

Ellie’s American Idol Tour Kansas City, MO Recap . . read full recap on MJ's

It starts out like this :

Quote:Let me preface this recap by saying that I am a complete, total, “why yes, the sun does rise and set on his ass,” Adam girl. Think of the most over-the-top fantard you can imagine. Then triple that. That’s me. My friends going to the concert with me talked about bringing a defibrillator along just to resuscitate me after his set. I don’t think they were kidding. So I have an obvious bias toward Adam which makes it difficult for me to be anything other than a flailing, slobbering fool when it comes to his performance. He could have come out dressed as Little Bo Peep and sung a medley of songs from “The Sound of Music” while dancing the polka and I would still have said he was better than the second coming of Jesus, Elvis, and Freddie Mercury combined.

It is a long piece and deserves a complete read . . go . . you'll have fun . . .

Am preserving the major Adam only part here because . . well . . it's an Adam thread.

Quote:Adam: If this gives you any clue to what I’m about to say, my heart rate just spiked when I typed in Adam’s name. Me = pathetic. The crowd went nuts when the countdown for Adam started. Absolutely nuts. And the second he came out, total pandemonium. Here’s what was weird…during Danny’s set a few of us were saying how we were cold (the weather in KC has been totally schizophrenic this summer and it was in the 50s last night instead of the usual 80s or 90s). The second Adam hit the stage, I swear the temperature in the arena went up thirty degrees. Sweat was pouring off of me (nice visual, I know…sorry) and I saw people fanning themselves with their programs, wiping sweat off their faces, pulling their hair up off their necks. It was the wildest thing. Adam makes the world hotter; it’s a fact.

First the technical stuff. I did not hear any helium effect during Adam’s set. Neither did two of my friends. But my other two friends did hear it during “Starlight.” So I guess it does depend on your ears. Also, during his set someone threw a white and black boa and two bras (one of which might have been mine….ahem), but he didn’t pick anything up. Clearone, have you gotten to him?!

Now for the emotional reaction: I don’t really know what to say about Adam beyond the fact that I was totally mesmerized by him. You literally cannot take your eyes off him. He’s like a magnet—a tall, glittery, beautiful magnet. He is this amazing combination of slinky-hipped, androgynous beauty and forceful, take-charge Alpha male, all topped off with a voice that has the power to take you out of yourself to another place. The minutes go by and you don’t even know what you’re doing or what’s happening to you; you are just floating along in this universe that he created right there in front of you. It is sort of like being abducted by a glittery alien, come to think of it.

When Adam disappeared into the stage it was like I came back to my body with a huge thud, sweaty and shaky (my legs were literally wobbling) and on the verge of tears. Which is sort of embarrassing to admit, but it’s also the truth. His set went by in what felt like the blink of an eye and I wanted to scream, “No! Come back out and do it again. It wasn’t ENOUGH!” But I think therein lies Adam’s power…because it’s never going to be enough, not even when he’s headlining his own tours. He has that indefinable “thing” that makes someone a superstar–it goes beyond his incredible voice and his beautiful face and his electric moves; it’s just an innate part of him. I only hope he’s ready for what’s coming towards him because Adam’s type of fame can be a scary thing to navigate.
