Update: Adam Lambert Takes Time For Fans At Bootsy Bellows
Posted Saturday September 28, 2013 11:04 AM GMT
Taking a little time to pose for photos, Adam Lambert stepped away from a roaring party at Bootsy Bellows to spend some time with his loyal fans Friday night (September 27).
Sporting his suave and sophisticated look, the 31-year-old song master looked handsome in a black-and white striped button down with black pants and shoes, his hair slicked up and styled.
In other news, Lambert showed up on the most recent episode of “Glee,” joining forces with Lea Michele, Chris Colfer, and Naya Rivera, forming an all-star garage-style band!
Celebrating the event, Naya Rivera tweeted on Thursday (September 26), “Happy glee day! Heading to work with @adamlambert @ddlovato @msleamichele @chriscolfer now!”

Glee EPISODE 01 | All You Need Is Love
Episode 01 | Aired Sep 26, 2013
'Glee' season premiere recap: All You Need Is Love
Rachel has a new job, McKinley has a new couple, and Kurt and Blaine are It turns out that in Glee world, all you need is love -- and an episode-ending proposal between Blaine and Kurt that was the most fabulous, over-the-top, musically inclined, perfect marriage question one could hope for. It's going to have the side effect of making every 14-year-old instruct their significant other to watch and take notes -- in between pausing to swoon just a bit. This is a very good thing indeed, because this episode -- and this show -- have a whole lot of sadness stacked against it.
Elephant in the choir room: Cory Monteith is dead, and there was not a single mention of Finn this hour. Instead, the show kicked off with Rachel at a chemistry test audition for Funny Girl on Broadway, where she had a great Barbra Streisand impression but didn’t seem to impress the director. Sensing her Broadway dream was (temporarily) dead, girl launched into a stellar, heartbreaking rendition of “Yesterday” that was impossible to not lend additional significance to, given all the extra baggage the show is now saddled with.
Rachel, needing a job, then joined Santana at the Spotlight Diner (Clearly an homage to Ellen’s Stardust Diner and their singing waitstaff). Everything was fine until the men who have seemingly declined to hire her for Funny Girl show up. It’s a small world! Rachel Berry turns her Rachel Berry-ness up to 12, tells them that she’s great, and then sings, “Hard Days Night” to prove it. She’d love to stick around, but after concluding her performance she grabs Santana and dashes -- there’s a proposal in Lima in the works.
Back at McKinley -- would you believe it? -- Mr. Schuester announced it’s two weeks of the Beatles, which he thinks may be just the thing to get the club to win Nationals two years in a row. A Nationals win is more important than ever, because new principal Sue demands it. But in the revolving game of MASH that is the Glee club, the bigger news is that Kitty and Artie are now dating.
The two go to a carnival (leading into a literal “Drive My (bumper) Car”), and then new mean cheerleader Bree (not like the cheese) shows up and tells Kitty she posted some photos of Artie and Kitty together on Instagram. Bree has been onscreen 10 seconds and she’s already The Worst. Kitty tells Artie she really likes him, but she wants to keep their relationship secret. “What if we go out but we do it on the down low, you know like secretly gay conservatives do,” she asks. Seth and Summer already taught me that this is a bad idea, but Artie clearly doesn’t watch The OC reruns/obviously wants a girlfriend and agrees to go along with it. Bonus: This plot is a way to sneak in an also-literal “You’ve Got To Hide Your Life Away” duet.
In plot developments people actually care about, Blaine doesn't immediately propose to Kurt, but the two are having a “farewell picnic” (Thing I Want In My Life) and before Blaine can launch into an elaborate musical tribute to Kurt asking to officially get back together, Kurt beats him to the punch chorus and belts out a wonderfully over-the-top rendition of “Got To Get You Into My Life” that Blaine naturally jumps in on because the color-coordinated gleefulness of it all is acting like catnip. One big kiss later and Klaine is back, you guys!
But not content to just be boyfriends, Blaine announces to the Glee club he wants to propose to Kurt, and he wants everyone -- Vocal Adrenaline, The Warblers, Sam’s new gross hair -- to be a part of it. Nothing says romance like hanging out with a graduate’s old high school rivals! I'm going to hand this over to Blaine to explain why all these people are necessary: “People everywhere, except for Russia, are beginning to see that people aren’t all that different….If we’re able to get a bunch of cutthroat show choirs to stand side by side and unite in something, then anything is possible.” Put it on a banner and march on Washington!
Confession: I was snarking through this whole scene/plotline, but the final moments of the episode -- when Kurt and his father have a heart-to-heart about not wasting a moment and spending every second with the one you love, followed up by Blaine’s completely over-the-top (phrase of the episode!) but super sweet proposal -- I don’t know, for a second I wanted to maybe start a Klaine fansite or something.
Note to individuals who may be popping the question this year: This is what Blaine said to Kurt in the halls of Dalton Academy (after first belting out “All You Need Is Love,” surrounded by pretty much the entire cast of anyone who has ever appeared on this show): “My soul knew something that my body and my mind didn’t know. It knew that our hands were meant to hold each other fearlessly and forever. Which is why it’s never really felt like I was getting to know you, it’s always felt like I was remembering you from something. As if in every lifetime you and I have ever lived we’ve chosen to come back and find each other and fall in love all over again, over and over again for all eternity. And I just feel so lucky that I’ve found you so soon in this lifetime because all I want to do, all I’ve ever wanted to do, is spend my life loving you. So, Kurt Hummel, my amazing friend, my one true love, Will you marry me?”
Talk about a Teenage Dream. Kurt said yes because he’s not a stone cold monster, which led to the second big kiss of the night. Overall, this hour was all about love, and it was nice to see the Beatles' main message represented so well. Kurt and Blaine getting back together was a smart move not just for fans, but for the show. This program is going to face some dark days going forward, and it'll be nice to have a relationship bright spot to cheer for.
Let’s talk about all that Beatles music. Fun fact: Today is actually the 44th anniversary of the release of Abbey Road. The more you know! As the first hour of the planned two-part Beatles tribute, the show focused on the early years of the Beatles and the high energy throughout kept most of the musical moments as the fun tributes they were obviously intended as.
"All You Need Is Love": I feel like America would forgive a lot more cheaters if this were the end result. I didn't really realize it before, but of course the band all about love should be a major factor in a Kurt/Blaine proposal. The bright colors and high energy only made this cover of one of the Beatles' most iconic songs even better. A
"Drive My Car": Sung by Kitty and Artie, this was cute and fun, and it's not like the original had layers of deep messaging, but something about the literal take -- with bumper cars at the fair -- made me feel like it missed the mark. B-
"Got To Get You Into My Life": Sung by Blaine and Kurt, what a cheerful, fun ode to remind us of Glee at its best. The outfits! The band! The love! The energy was top-notch and I automatically give high scores to any number ending in a kiss. A-
"Hard Days Night": Rachel regularly hits her numbers out of the park, but compared with other high-energy performances from this episode, this one didn't blow me away. Dancing around a restaurant alongside Santana could have been powerful fun, but instead it felt like a tossaway to make room for more impressive numbers later. B
"Help": This performance reminded me of "Shout" from last year. Led by Blaine, the scene was him literally running around asking for help from various other vocal groups for his proposal to his boyfriend. It was similar fun to the goofiness of the Beatles' first movies (like, say, Help!), so on the homage level, it worked. A-
"I Saw Her Standing There": It's impossible to not like this number as it's one of the most clear homages to a specific Beatles performance of the entire hour. Ryder, Sam, Jake and Blaine tackled the Fab Four's iconic Ed Sullivan Show appearance (loved the black-and-white on the television and the screaming girls!), and along the way try to give Tina some self-esteem (more difficult than acquiring tickets to Shea Stadium). A
"Yesterday": There's not a ballad Rachel hasn't slayed, and this was no exception. A
"You've Got To Hide Your Love Away": I loved all the attention Artie got this hour, but I wasn't wild about this rendition. It didn't hit the emotional notes that the original did. B-

A few interesting GLEE tidbits
9.28.13 by Q3
All we really know about Adam's character and role so far is that he is Kurt’s rival – his NEMESIS!! -- and that he will sing with both Rachel and Demi. We know a bit more about his first episode which is being filmed now will be broadcast on November 7, 2013. Season 5 Episode 4 is called ‘A Katy or a Gaga’ and will feature music by Katy Perry and Lady Gaga.
A very reliable source, Gleek Out Brazil (GOBr) posted that Adam's character is called Starchild and he will be part of a 14 person ensemble singing "Roar" and he will do a solo performance of "Marry the Night". gleekoutbr.tumblr.com/post/61728502586/5x04-title-full-song-spoiler
But there are a lot of spoilers, rumors and bits of info floating around.
It all finally began with this Tweet on Thursday….
Naya Rivera @nayarivera
Happy glee day! Heading to work with @adamlambert @ddlovato @msleamichele @chriscolfer now!

Gleeks report that Glee cancelled the shoot at the Million Dollar Theater in downtown LA.

They shot the loft scenes (in Leah’s photos) on Thursday night (9/26/13) and then they did a 16 hour shift on 9/27/13:
From a crew member on 9.27.13:

Late start today...only means a late finish...

Instead of dropping the last scene they're gonna try to do it today...it's not like anybody wants to go home or anything

Is that a bit of Adam and Demi in the background? Looks like it is!
****
Ummm there is a star in the corner behind Adam?!?!?
Is the photo of the band in the loft an actual band or is it some GLEE fantasy scene? GLEE sometimes has “sing in fantasy mode” scenes where musicians and microphones just appear. Since the usually reliable GOBr spoiler was that there would be 14 people singing in Roar (including everyone in the photo), I think this could be a fantasy scene.
****
Part of the NYC storyline includes people working as singing waiters and waitresses at the Spotlight Diner. I really hope Adam’s character does not work here. He already did this is real life – a long time ago!

The ratings for the first episode of Season 5 were not great -- "Glee. With the Beatles and increased attention because of Cory Monteith's death, the show began season 5 with just 5.06 million viewers. That's down more than 2 million from a year ago, and it's actually the show's second-lowest rated episode ever. The lowest was "Dynamic Duets" last year, which aired on Thanksgiving."
The ratings drop was because the competition on Thursday night is now brutal. The new comedy "The Crazy Ones" starring Robin Williams with over 15.5 million viewers was the most-watched new show of the season and the biggest regular premiere in two years (not counting Go On's post-Olympics launch). By comparison, NBC's premiere of The Michael J. Fox Show at 9pm seems small with 7.5 million viewers, but it's still a great number for the network. That's the highest Thursday night rating for NBC in two years.
9pm
15.52 million: The Crazy Ones
9.27 million: Grey's Anatomy
7.5 million: The Michael J. Fox Show
5.06 million: Glee
9:30pm
11.59 million: Two and a Half Men

Lea Michele Shares First Look at Adam Lambert on 'Glee'!
Fri, 27 September 2013 at 12:37 am
Lea Michele films a scene for the fifth season of her hit show Glee alongside special guest stars Adam Lambert and Demi Lovato on Thursday (September 26).
The 27-year-old actress was also joined for the scene by her co-stars Naya Rivera and Chris Colfer. It appears that the scene is taking place in Rachel, Kurt, and Santana’s apartment in New York City. Perhaps the five of them are starting a band?
“On set now with the amazing @ddlovato, adamlambert, @chriscolfer & @nayarivera! #gleeseason5,” Lea tweeted. “NYC crew! ❤️”
In case you missed it, check out a recap of Glee‘s season premiere episode, that aired earlier this evening on Fox. Next week’s episode will be the second part of the Beatles tribute.

More Adam News
Avicii wants to collaborate with Adam Lambert even more in the future
September 27th, 2013 by Martin Lamont.
At the moment Adam Lambert can’t do no wrong. He has everyone eating out of the palm of his hands. He’s got a role in TV show ‘Glee’, he’s performing with Queen, he’s collaborating with Swedish DJ Avicii and Chic’s Nile Rodgers.
It now appears that following his collaboration with Avicii and Nile Rodgers on ‘Lay Me Down’ that Avicii wants more collaborations in the future with the former American Idol star.
The Swedish DJ has only recently released his debut album ‘True’ to the world despite being around for a few years now.
Avicii recently teamed up with Adam Lambert and Chic’s Nile Rodgers on a track ‘Lay Me Down’ which Avicii premiered officially during his performance at the iTunes Festival.
Avicii spoke a few weeks ago about Adam Lambert and recording ‘Lay Me Down’. The DJ revealed that while Adam Lambert recorded his vocals while hungover.
Now though Avicii wants to collaborate some more with Lambert as he was so impressed the first time round.
Speaking with the Daily Star Avicii praised Lambert’s abilities in singing and writing and said that a future collaboration would be something he’d like to happen:
“Adam is a much better soul singer than people give him credit for. He’s great at pop songs, of course, but I had heard him sing some soulful ballads and thought he’d do a good job.”
He continued: “I’d heard Adam was a good writer, too, and he proved that – he’s very open-minded and was enthusiastic about getting stuck in to writing dance tracks. I want to write more with Adam, for sure – maybe for his next album, or some more tracks with me.”
Adam Lambert is currently working on his third studio album, following up 2012′s ‘Trespassing’ and has also began filming for his still unknown role in hit show ‘Glee’.
Listen to ‘Lay Me Down’ below which features Adam, Avicii and Nile and is on Avicii’s debut album ‘True’.

‘He has this tremendous charisma’: Queen’s Roger Taylor showers praise on Adam Lambert
by Something Else!
Queen’s Roger Taylor and Brian May just completed a triumphal U.S. debut with Adam Lambert, bringing a stage show to Las Vegas which had already made a huge impression in Europe. Taylor has high praise for the ex-Idol finalist.
“Brian and I love him to bits,” Taylor says in this recently posted clip. “He’s fantastic on stage. He has this tremendous charisma, and he’s got a range like I’ve never heard. It’s extraordinary, actually.”
Queen appeared as part of an iHeart radio event, following a series of concert appearances last summer. Lambert first performed with Queen in 2009, as part of the American Idol finale. They also made a splash at the 2011 VMAs.
That makes Lambert the longest-tenured frontman Queen has worked with since Paul Rodgers, who served in that role for four years beginning in 2005. They’re both filling in for the late Freddie Mercury; Queen’s original singer died in 1991.
“Paul was great, actually,” Taylor says. “I love his voice. He’s a very long way from Freddie, you know. It’s a different end of the spectrum. But he was one of Fred’s favorite singers — ever.”
Up next, Taylor is set to release a new solo album. Fun on Earth, his first since 1998′s Electric Fire, is due in October 2013.
