I am not sure how I feel about all this Idol speculation again...but I know I want Adam on my TV!!! Come on cable, give him his own show. I know it cannot be MTV (since they do not program music much anymore) but how about Fuse or Palladia? Ok, dream big...HBO or Showtime! Call it Adam Lambert's Musical Hollywood. Open with Adam talking about whatever is on his mind. ( Yum, Adam saying words.) Next Adam can sing anything he wants, in any genre or style. Then Adam can interview his musical guest, followed by a performance from that guest. Finally, Adam could sing with his guest artists...you know he would make them look and sound GOOD! Imagine if Adam had the power to give us what we didn't know we wanted from a variety of artists. The show could be 30 minutes long, new monthly and rerun like crazy throughout the month. No argument here! And since he is such a student of music - old and new, almost any genre - there could be some great conversations. I know some have said the variety show is dead, but everything old is new again, and if anyone could handle it, it would be Adam.  |

I think in the past year I've made only one comment on the whole Adam + Idol judge issue, and that was: "I have mixed feelings." One thing that has always confused me a little is how much constructive influence the judges actually have on the contestants' progress. I mean, the judges are not mentors... they're not spending time with the contestants during the week, helping them choose songs, working on arrangements and stage presence, doing vocal classes with them, teaching them choreography. Right? Am I wrong about this? Is there behind-the-scenes stuff going on that we never see? After Adam's season, I pretty much stopped watching Idol, so I'm not really "current" about what goes on every week, but from my murky memories, it seems that all the judges do, week after week, is spend a few seconds giving their opinion about a performance. Like, Adam's comments on the beautiful Chinese girl were kind of typical in terms of what we hear from judges, right? Not more than about 10-15 seconds ---> "It was so angelic... You're so grounded... and your energy and focus... it was beautiful... I loved it!" Or, if you're Randy, it's like "Gurrrrl... you're in it to win it!!"  I guess I'm just wondering how much the judges actually help the contestants when they're confined to making a few brief comments just once a week. Has Adam ever been asked the question: "How much did the judges help/guide you during your stint on Idol? How much influence did they have on you, week to week?" I dunno... Adam was already a seasoned consummate professional when he first showed up on the Idol stage, so he doesn't really count! LOL But for some of the other kids who've been "plucked" out of a coffee shop or off the farm, I really wonder if and how the judges brief comments actually help them, as opposed to the mentors/technical people/vocal coaches/choreographers, etc, behind the scenes. I dunno... does any of this make sense? I was just thinking of the difference between the The Voice and Idol... On The Voice, we see the judges working with the contestants as mentors. I kind of wish Idol was like this, too. I think you are right about the judges not being involved with the contestants. For me that is one appeal of The Voice, plus there are not endless weeks of auditions with bad singers. Adam has said that Kara made comments about connecting to the song that helped him a lot. He also said that he took comments to heart and then decided if he would act on them or not. It would be great to see him actually working with people. He seems to be a natural teacher. (Well, natural might be the wrong word because I think he got some of those teaching skills trained into him in theater and by having excellent teachers.) |

Oh, I'm spamming, but I need help. My brother, for whom I am making a series of Adam DVDs, was wondering if there are any performances of Adam singing with Katy Perry. I don't think there are. They were acquaintances before they were famous, but did they ever perform together? Does anyone know of any videos? HELP.
Thanks.

(Well, natural might be the wrong word because I think he got some of those teaching skills trained into him in theater and by having excellent teachers.) Yes! I remember Kara saying that. And I think Adam responded by saying something about how singing on a stage and trying to connect to an audience at the back was so different than having a TV camera up close and personal in your face! (or maybe that was another situation!) And, yes... that would be my dream---> to see Adam actually working with the contestants... not just sitting at the judges table and having his comments/opinions being restricted to a few seconds. I want to see him getting up on stage and demonstrating to the contestant exactly what he wants!  |

Yeah, and he managed to seem appreciative of that gift despite the fact that it looked like a big dead chicken. ![]() |

Does anyone know if Simon Cowell filled the judging spots after LA Reid & Britney left? With Simon's connection to Adam, wouldn't that be a possibility? and the judges like the X Factor actually mentor the contestants...
