'American Idol' Season 14 Auditions, Judges, Premiere: Randy Jackson Quits; Adam Lambert to Replace Him?On Tuesday, "American Idol" original judge Randy Jackson has confirmed his exit from the long-time Fox reality singing contest. The Hollywood Reporter noted that the judge-turned-mentor's departure leaves show host Ryan Seacrest as the only-returning cast from the original team. The news may not be very surprising for those who have tracked "Idol" in its last seasons, when Jackson first bid goodbye as a judge after Season 12. He came back as a mentor on Season 13, taking over Jimmy Iovine's spot. Jackson declared over Deadline, "After 13 seasons, I felt now was the perfect time to leave American Idol." "I'm proud to have been a part of a series that discovered some incredible artists and will go down in history as one of the most successful television shows ever. A true original, Idol started it all. Onto what's next," he added. He's leaving for real, this time. That leaves fans questioning who could be his best replacement. According to TVLine, hopes are up that executive producer Per Blankens selects a mentor without basis on "name recognition." The outlet cited decline in last season's ratings, providing insight that the upcoming season may need a mentor who's willing to embed himself with the contestants -- ultimately tapping their undiscovered potentials. Now all eyes could be staring at Adam Lambert, whom THR calls in another report as one of the "most successful" in the "Idol" family. In essence this could be true. Even if the 32-year-old Indiana native failed to bag the title in Season 8, he has returned to the franchise's Seaons 9 and 13 to mentor and coach aspiring Idols. Lambert has established himself in the music industry by owning superb vocals and rocking prowess. He is a Tenor with a vocal range of 3 Octaves and semitone B2-B5, said Diva Devotee. Although he can't do a whistle register like Mariah Carey and Ariana Grande, Lambert has pulled off notes just as impressive, just like in this video. His range is noted to be higher than Justin Bieber (2 Octaves 1 note and semitone C#3-E5) and Sam Smith's (2 Octaves 4 Notes). Meanwhile, Lambert is gearing up for his third studio album, the follow-up to his 2012 work "Trespassing." He answered one user who asked about the album's release, "No but getting close." The singer also addressed rumors claiming a collaboration between him and Pop princess Britney Spears. He said in another tweet, "Def JUST a rumor." Lambert has recently toured with legendary rock band Queen, wrote Inquisitr. Three U.K. visits had been added to their tour, as reported by Unreality TV. "American Idol" Season 14 premieres on Jan. 14, 2015 at Fox, said Hollywood Life. Watch Season 14 auditions here.

I have added all the new concert dates to the calendar and changed the format slightly to make it easier to see the cities at a glance. It looks like generally they have scheduled 2 dates on, one date off, which is smart for Adam's voice. There are two slight gaps where a concert could be added following that schedule: Jan 27 or 28, after Paris and before Cologne, and Feb 11 or 12, after Milan and before Stuttgart. Any other dates would require Adam to sing three nights in a row, which I hope they don't do.

Whether they won or not, One Direction, Carrie Underwood and many more acts have proven reality shows can be the perfect intro to a global fanbase Jeff Benjamin / November 13, 2014 Adam Lambert From 'American Idol'Somehow, Adam Lambert didn't win the eighth season of American Idol. But nevertheless, the singer has proven that he's truly winning with one of the most impressive track records post-show. Lambert has acted as the Queen frontman, scored a recurring role in Glee and dropped two well-received albums. Sophomore release Trespassing went to No. 1 on the Billboard 200, making him the first openly gay artist to top the charts, in what was a major moment in LGBTQ history. Perhaps most importantly, Lambert has made sure to use his voice for good: He's inspired his Glamperts to donate more than one million dollars to charities to date, and he's been one of the first artists to confidently bring a gay perspective to mainstream culture.

As long as they don't extend it on the tail end I am more than happy.  |

Adam Lambert may be moving up!
Posted in What’s Trending Now on November 13, 2014 It’s been a great year for Adam Lambert. The former American Idol runner-up joined the legendary rock band Queen for one of the summer’s hottest concert tours, and the collaboration was such a success that there is even talk of new Queen music featuring Adam Lambert. Adam Lambert also has a new album of his own material in the works, something his fans have been waiting for since 2012. But now another gig is on the horizon: the show that started it all — American Idol. Lambert has appeared on the show as a mentor in seasons past. And he subbed as a judge for Keith Urban when Urban’s father-in-law passed away during auditions for this upcoming season. Now insiders say Adam’s got a shot at a permanent spot at the judge table in the future — and all he has to do is ask for it. |
