Access Hollywood @accesshollywood 9m .@adamlambert 'Thrilled' To Be Back On 'American Idol' To Fill In For @keithurban: ahwd.tv/PEe7ep #AdamLambertGuestJudge #idol Adam Lambert 'Thrilled' To Be Back On 'American Idol' To Fill In For Keith UrbanSEPTEMBER 17, 2014 06:20 PM EDT  Adam Lambert returned to "American Idol" this week – this time as a judge, filling in for Keith Urban (who is with wife Nicole Kidman, who is grieving the loss of her father) – and he's excited to be back at his old stomping grounds. "I'm really honored that they asked me to come back in fill in for Keith. The circumstances are sad, my condolences," Adam – who was "Idol's" Season 8 runner-up – told Access Hollywood in a new interview. "But, on a lighter note, I'm thrilled to be here. I'm thrilled to be able to help these contestants follow their dreams." Adam said he's developed a strategy for how he treats nervous contestants in the audition room. "I'm trying to make them comfortable, break the ice a little bit, and chill them out a little bit," he said. "Hopefully we're guiding them towards doing their best." And the singer is having a great time with judges Jennifer Lopez and Harry Connick Jr. "I was so excited to meet Jennifer and Harry yesterday - they're so down to earth and fun," he told Access. "We were laughing all day and having these great philosophical conversations about being entertainers." Adding, "I feel really inspired by both of them." -- Erin O'Sullivan |

Just a thought. When discussing berating lecturing telling communicating with people in a sentence such as It doesn't work like that at all. the communication works a bit better when you define what it or that might refer to. Otherwise, you sow confusion. People attempt to discuss/decipher your meaning and invest it with their own meaning. What did you mean? Who knows? You flunked -- especially when you are a professional communicator. So true, Junie. To make matters worse (for me), the world of Twitter makes me feel like I'm reading a foreign language. What with people's fast thumb typing, errors, shortened words, I can hardly figure out what some people are TRYING to say. Not to mentions 10 hashtags in a post. The important thing to remember with lurking on twitter is that you are eves dropping on a 'private' conversation. You are not meant to understand everything that is or is not said. In this case, tweeter one popped off to tweeter two stating something as fact when she really knew nothing at all about what went on. Tweeter two bluntly told her to stop creating tall tales. My guess is tweeter one got the message. End of story. |

Adam Lambert Fills in for Keith Urban at ‘American Idol’ Auditions in NYCBy Coti Howell September 17, 2014 4:00 PM tasteofcountry.com/adam-lambert-keith-urban-fill-in-american-idol/?trackback=tsmclip Frazer Harrison/Brad Barket, Getty Images
Keith Urban is taking some time off from work in light of the unexpected death of wife Nicole Kidman’s father. The country star was forced to call off a few planned concerts in addition to judging ‘American Idol’ auditions, but while he’s away, singer Adam Lambert will fill in. On Monday (Sept. 15), the official ‘American Idol’ Twitter page shared the news: Lambert joins Season 14 judges Jennifer Lopez and Harry Connick, Jr. at the ‘American Idol’ auditions taking place Barclays Center in Brooklyn, N.Y. on Sept. 16-17. Dr. Antony Kidman was in Singapore at the time of his passing — a loss which was not anticipated. Urban rushed be by his wife’s side, calling off planned shows in Washington and California. It’s been reported that the country singer was on his way to a charity event for Ventura County, Calif. when he learned of the news, and immediately he jumped on a plane to get home to Nashville. Kenny Loggins is said to have filled in for the Australian singer at the event, which also included Bruce Jenner and Wayne Gretzky. Season 14 of ‘American Idol’ is set to premiere in January 2015.

Good ET coverage. He spoke a bit, instead of just ET reporting on it. As usual, funny, articulate, gorgeous, generous Adam.
I love love love seeing him on my TV!

tvline.com/2014/09/17/american-idol-season-14-preview-judges-jlo-harry-adam-lambert/Idol Judges on Season 14: J.Lo Wants Less Cruelty, Adam Lambert Seeks Artistry, Harry Flinches at 'Geek' LabelBy Michael Slezak / September 17 2014, 4:04 PM PDT  A change (or two) is gonna come when Season 14 of American Idol returns next January — starting with the lineup of judges at the New York City auditions and possibly percolating down to the kind of contestants being sought and the amount of torture they’ll receive from the show’s producers. Indeed, due to the sudden death of his father-in-law, panelist Keith Urban had to sit out Tuesday and Wednesday’s callbacks at the New York Marriott at the Brooklyn Bridge. But Season 8 runner-up Adam Lambert stepped in alongside Jennifer Lopez and Harry Connick Jr to hand out Golden Tickets to Hollywood (and the requisite pink slips to folks more suited to their local karaoke bar — or ABC’s Rising Star). TVLine sought Season 14 intel from J.Lo, Harry and Adam as they reported for duty on Wednesday. Read on for J.Lo’s thoughts on the show’s obsession with her reaction shots during contestant performances, Adam’s advice for potential finalists and Harry’s feelings on the “most unethical thing” he could do on the job. .. THIS IS NOT THE VOICE | “The name of the game is artistry,” said Lambert, when asked if it’s possible in Season 14 for the show to launch another massive pop star. “I know the show kept using that word a couple of seasons ago — although I don’t know if they actually found that many of ‘em — but it’s more than just having a nice-sounding voice. It’s about the complete package: It’s the look, it’s the vibe, it’s the personality. Hello, hello, personality!” Lambert admitted that in today’s pop music scene, “a lot of the magic is created in the studio. The thing that sells stars to a mass audience is, ‘Do you like them or not? Do you wanna be their friend? Do you wanna look at pictures of them all the time? Do they make you laugh, do they provoke you?'” Lambert reasoned. “The standards have changed a little bit, but it’s not up to the show to make that happen, it’s the contestants that’ll make that happen.” .. WHO WANTS TO BE AN IDOL MENTOR? | With decidedly dubious Season 13 adviser Randy Jackson not yet confirmed to return, we had to ask Lambert (who helped host a post-Hollywood Week “boot camp” last year) if he’d be interested in the gig. “I don’t know, maybe,” he replied. “I have a lot going on. I’m working on an album. We might go back out on the road with Queen — so, I don’t know yet. There’s a lot happening — time is the issue. But I feel like [mentoring and guest judging] is a way to give back. I know it sounds corny, but I want to help the contestants with the light bulb that could go off.” .. HONESTY — BUT NOT THE BRUTAL KIND | The always outspoken Lambert laughed that he’s “been known to have opinions” throughout his career, but that while his judging style is decidedly frank, he’s also “sensitive at the same time. It’s hard: They’ve gone through two auditions already before they see us, and most of them have been waiting in a room to see us for hours and hours, and the nerves get crazy. It’s hard to be your best self in that situation,” Lambert noted. “I try to look for who they usually probably are — or who they might be after they get a little more comfortable. I try to get them grounded, breathing and making a good song choice.” read more..
