That's so funny, I've just meant to write about that. I've been thinking how you never know when something is going to capture everyone like that. I mean, for us fans the performance wasn't a surprise, because we remember that version from AI. I don't expect others to remember those few seconds, but even if they showed the whole thing during AI, it wouldn't have caught like that. People need a "seal of approval" that what they're feeling is legit, and now they got that, not only because Cher was moved to tears, but also because Adam fronts Queen. Being approved by Brian and Roger themselves gives him the credibility and gives people "permission" to love what he does, as opposed to just a reality competition contender, which doesn't count as a "real" singer at all.

Also with Adam mention and picture: People @people Lady Gaga Kicks Off Las Vegas Residency with Star-Studded Affair — Including Katy Perry! peoplem.ag/ok3rchOThe graphic helped her guide the concert, not that she need much help. The crowd — which included Katy Perry, Dave Grohl, Adam Lambert, Regina King, Marisa Tomei and Jeremy Renner — was on board from the jump.

shoshanna stone @shoshannastone That version of the song was his idea Could be Ricky Minor's idea to have Adam there. BTW, who the guy grinning from ear to ear right when Adam sings "what am I supposed to do"? He looks familiar. And the woman next to him, who also seems very into it.

Ricky Minor would be my guess as well. He would have remembered the Idol performance almost ten years ago and recognized how unique and beautiful it was. If Minor was the musical director for the show he probably suggested Adam?

I would love to know the process as to how it all came about. Adam wouldn't be your obvious choice to sing this song for Cher at the KCH unless you had some knowledge of his AI cover. Was he invited, by whom, did Cher know, etc.
And one really random question... is that Stephen Spielberg in the audience we see watching and listening alongside his wife? And you can also see them at the end of IGYB, kissing. They are mostly blocked, but you can just see them.

Shosh isn't replying as to how Adam was chosen to perform. I'm curious to know too.
Funny seeing Wilbur Ross.....our US Secretary of Commerce at 1:55 here....not singing I Got U Babe....but he's bopping a little. Those of you who know who he is.....any bopping movement is a lot of movement. lol. (bald head with glasses) I saw Steve Mnuchin (US Sec of the Treasury) somewhere earlier in the show. And of course Nancy up in the balcony.
