Idol Promo starts to heat up!

Adam Lambert & Chris Daughtry returning to American Idol! Here’s why they’ll make GREAT mentors!
February 10th, 2014 by Lisa McGarry.



It’s been confirmed that former American Idol contestants Adam Lambert and Chris Daughtry will be returning to the shows that started their careers this week.

Lambert was runner up in season eight of the reality TV show, while Chris finished in fourth place back in season five.

While former wannabes often turn up to perform on the hit Fox programme, it’s been revealed that Adam and Daughtry will be back to pass on the benefit of their experience to new contestants and will be mentoring the hopefuls as they near the live shows.

Both men have signed up to assist Randy Jackson in his bootcamp round, where the group of singers will be whittled down and Chris sounds pretty excited about it all.

He shared a picture of himself and Adam on Instagram and captioned it:

“Hanging with @adamlambert at the #idol workshop. Glad to be back! Stay tuned…”

The men will be on hand for the whole of the two day workshop, hosted by the show’s former judge and their appearances will air later this week, February 18 and 19.

So exactly what experience will Adam and Chris be passing on and what makes them good mentors? Well we’ve put together a short list of their career highlights so far. We think you’ll see that they’ve been very busy indeed since their reality TV beginnings.




ADAM LAMBERT:

- Adam released his debut album ‘For Your Entertainment’ to great fanfare in 2009 and it proved to be quite the hit, debuting at number three on the US Billboard 200 with 198,000 copies in first-week sales. He also enjoyed global recognition for the record and its singles “For Your Entertainment”, “Whataya Want from Me” and “If I Had You” charted around the world.

- Soon after the album release, Adam headlined a worldwide concert tour, Glam Nation and as such became the first American Idol contestant to front so many shows, the year following his Idol appearance.

- In 2012 Lambert followed up with his second album Trespassing, which went straight into the number one spot on the Billboard 200 album chart. The achievement was made even more impressive as it was confirmed that the stars was the first openly gay artist to top the US charts.

- As well as headlining his own tours, shows and festival concerts, Adam has made his mark globally in a series of gigs performing with British rock legends Queen. The star has appeared as frontman for the band and won critical acclaim for his performances on a number of occasions and just last week Brian May revealed that they’re set for another series of concerts this summer. The influential songwriter and guitarist previously insisted that the late Freddie Mercury would be a massive Glambert too if he had lived to see Adam perform.



CHRIS DAUGHTRY:

- After he finished on Idol Chris landed himself a lucrative record deal with RCA Records but instead of going solo he formed a band called Daughtry and their debut album went on to become the fastest selling debut rock album in Nielsen Soundscan history.

- Chris has become third most successful American Idol contestant in terms of record sales, topped only by season one winner Kelly Clarkson and country star Carrie Underwood.

– Daughtry has received plenty of backing from his music peers and has collaborated with stars such as Slash, Chad Kroeger, Brad Arnold and Carlos Santana over the course of his post Idol career.

– Chris is not only a fantastic performer, but he’s a prolific songwriter too. The star co-wrote the song “Send Me All Your Angels” for American Idol season 8 winner Kris Allen’s debut album and also wrote on Colton Dixon’s album ‘A Messenger.’ He co-wrote three songs on Day of Fire’s album Losing All and contributed a track to Allison Iraheta’s Just Like You record.

What do you think of Chris & Adam as mentors? Are you looking forward to their episodes? Leave your comments below….


Q3 note: they ended this article with a fan video of Adam and Allison set to Daugherty’s “No Surprise” from 2009.

Adam Lambert and Allison Iraheta are American Idol Season 8's rock god and rock goddess.

What better way to have a tribute video for them than to use Idol owns Chris Daughtry song entitled No Surprise.

Best of luck and God always bless Adam and Allison.

ICYMI Glee Season 5 Spoiler: Blaine and Starchild to Share a Scene — Drama?!



Now, that Blaine (Darren Criss) and Kurt (Chris Colfer) are engaged on Glee, things between them should be completely drama-free as they look forward to sharing their lives together in NYC, right? Well, we're not sure if it's going to be that easy, as Blaine is soon to be sharing a possibly tense scene with Kurt's easy-on-the-eyes pal Starchild (Adam Lambert).

Thus far, Elliott "Starchild" Gilbert has just been friends with Kurt, as the two are both members of the band, Pamela Lansbury. But it's easy to see that the two have chemistry, and even Santana (Naya Rivera) has teased them for flirting with each other.

Kurt's connection with Blaine just might be put to the test in Season 5, Episode 9: "Frenemies," as Kurt and Starchild are said to be duetting on the very sexy song by The Darkness, "I Believe in a Thing Called Love." Yikes. Meanwhile, we believe in a thing called Klaine, so Kurt better not do anything to risk that.

We're now learning that Blaine will be appearing in a scene with Starchild in Season 5, Episode 14: "New New York." In the wee hours of February 7, Glee cinematographer Joaquin Sedillo tweets:

Joaquin Sedillo @joaquinsedillo
@darrencriss @adamlambert Great job tonight dudes! It's fun when it's great and it's great when it's fun! #JOAQUINthegleeDP

Okay, so we're not gonna complain about getting to see two sexy guys like Darren and Adam sharing the screen together. And thus far, the two characters don't seem to dislike each other, with Blaine even making a puppet likeness of Starchild earlier this season. However, we're worried that this new scene might be an uncomfortable one.

Do you think there will be drama between Blaine and Starchild?

Sorry, World! Adam Lambert And Chris Colfer Took All The Glam, And Now There’s None Left
Posted 02/10/2014 3:00:41 pm by Byron Flitsch in Celebrity, Photos.


Adam and his “Glee” costar are too much perfection for our eyes to handle.

SIREN NOISE! Adam Lambert and Chris Colfer took all the glam in the world, and now there’s none left — at least if this photo on Adam’s Instagram is anything to go on. It’s all gone. Stop looking. Sawwwry.

JK! Not that we’d actually be too mad if that were true. I mean, look at the “Wildest Moments” singer and his “Glee” costar up there! It’s basically like we have two Adams now. #twofer

While we’ve still got another few weeks to go until “Glee” returns on Feb. 25, it’s so cute to see our boys chilling together on set. Wait, do you think they could be shooting their rumored duet of A Great Big World’s “Rockstar” for episode 14? We bow before our Lambert shrine in prayer.

Either way, there’s probably going to be more photos of these two coming at us in the near future. We may need to hire someone to build a new wing for our Glambert shrine that will be completely devoted to Chris and Adam’s BFF beauty. (Not joking at all. Anybody know a good architect? Thx.)

American Idol Winners: Who Won American Idol and Where Are They Now?

Not all American Idol winners are equal. Some have gone on to massive fame and fortune, while others have faded into obscurity. Will the American Idol 2014 winner become a superstar like Kelly Clarkson or Carrie Underwood? Or will they end up being names we often forget actually won the show, like Kris Allen or Lee DeWyze?

***

Coming in at #10 of 12.

10. Kris Allen (Season 8). No one is still really sure how Kris won over Adam Lambert, but it happened. And we’ve barely heard from him since. He seems to be a great and talented guy, but he’s just never caught on as a popular artist.
