American Idol Top 4 Idol Chatter and Idle Chatter

[Mean Queen]

I much rather endure DC then to deal with Carrie. She's going to be at Fan Fair next week. So is Bucky, no word on Kellie yet.

At least it's not Julianne.

At least it's not Julianne.

She's performing Thursday night, I'll take a nap during then.

My sisters and I are going to see David Cook in July when he comes to the Washington County Fair here in WI! That should be fun.

It will be! He is FANTASTIC live.

Just don't wash your car. It always rains when I do that.

I'm not washing it, I'm traveling back and forth 30 miles next week for like 4 or 5 days. It's CMA Fest though I wouldn't mind some musicians getting wet they would have a freak out.

Not sure why the picture isn't showing now as it was before - and it's on my Photobucket account. Oh well.

No matter when the stalkerazi catch him, Adam always looks perfectly turned out. Love his hairdo and shirt. Here he's taking Drake to the airport:

I watched that video and have to say, I'm disturbed. What nerve of this paparazzi dude, asking "what were you up to last night" etc., etc. How dare people be so nozy! Adam comported himself perfectly. I dare say I probably would have told the guy to mind his own business and get a life. Good thing I'm not a celebrity, huh? LOL!!!

I thought it was worse when he asked them to kiss on camera for them. What are they, trained seals performing for our amusement? UGH. Adam (and Drake) have way more patience and forbearance than I do.

Also not too thrilled with whoever it was who happened to be in the same restaurant with the boys and secretly videotaped their entire lunch and posted excerpts on Youtube. That’s all sorts of wrong. I don't care if it's legal -- it's still just WRONG.

I believe you that it is legal but MAN that is SO wrong! The people who filmed it should have to get permission to post. There is definitely something wrong with our "privacy" system in this day and age. Very sad.

I must say Drake is a cutie... a sort of male version of a bimbo...

Yes, the paparazzi is very rude, they want to get them to react so they can make money, nice friendly vids don't equal good pay. What we see is the celebrity acting out, we don't usually hear the RUDE comments said to them before the reaction. It's sickening sometimes.

Adam handled it well, I think he is such a confident person he doesn't let idiots ruffle him.

I agree and it's why celebrities end up going a little crazy. Not only d they get a totally inflated view of themselves but the complete loss of privacy can drive you nuts. That's why the following article on MSNBC has so many Adam fans spitting mad. Besides being complete BS, it's simply using Adam's popularity in an inflamatory fashion to get views.

While much of the chatter surrounding “American Idol” runner-up Adam Lambert has to do with speculation about his sexuality, the behind-the-scenes talk at many of the stops along Lambert’s publicity tour is how difficult he is to work with.

“He is such a diva. Rude to everyone — from fans right down to the lighting folks,” said one person who worked with Lambert.

“A-list celebrities have come through here and been infinitely more polite,” said another person who worked with Lambert during a stop in New York.
Lambert should change his attitude quickly, according to one music producer. “No one sells that many records these days to be able to get away with that kind of behavior. To be a success you need literally everyone in your corner.”

BTW, MSNBC got overwhelming negative response from fans who have seen ALL of Adams videos and know this to be a lie. Michael Slezak said: "I can't speak for other outlets, but Adam was absolutely delightful when he visited the Idolatry set. Heckuva nice guy!"

Adam fans are being asked to write to Denise Hazlick - Head of Entertainment at MSNBC.com at denisehazlick@msnbc.com and demanded an apolgy plus a retraction on the MSNBC Home Page for this character assasination.

The story behind it:

http://web.icenetwork.com/news/article.jsp?ymd=20090527&content_id=4985104&vkey=ice_news

(05/27/2009) - icenetwork.com's intrepid reporters Sarah S. Brannen and Drew Meekins spend some time talking about American Idol runner-up Adam Lambert's ties to the figure skating universe, gelato and a Skating Club of Boston outing to Milan.

Wicked Adam
We were glued to the finale of American Idol, along with the rest of the country and most of the skating world. As it happens, Drew met runner-up Adam Lambert in Los Angeles last year; Adam and Drew are both friends with retired skater Nicholas LaRoche. We got the whole story from Nick this week.

"I met Adam when he was performing in Wicked with my partner Eric," Nick told us. "He was in the ensemble, and he was also the understudy for Fiyero [the prince]. Eric was also in the ensemble."

Wicked ran at the Pantages Theater in Hollywood for two years, and Nick, Eric and Adam became good friends. In the 2007-08 season, Nick was looking for music for a new exhibition program.

"I heard the song 'I Just Love You' by Five for Fighting on the radio, but didn't necessarily like the arrangement of it," he said. "I teamed up with Adam and the music conductor from Wicked, Brian Perry, who played the piano. We went into a private studio and recorded it. They only did the song three full times; it was amazing. Adam was thrilled when I asked him to record the song and it was so much fun to stand in the recording studio with the headphones on and listen to his wide range. I heard the 'belts and screams' first-hand. It was incredible!"

Nick has performed the program twice, and Adam came to one of the shows to see it.

"After seeing the performance, he couldn't thank me enough for giving him the opportunity to do this," said Nick. So what is the glam rocker like in person?
"He is great -- very humble," said Nick. "I watched him do endless performances here in L.A., all for charities and benefits."

Nick watched every episode of American Idol, of course.

"It was odd to see him without his fun makeup on and the glam look he carries," said Nick. "When he would come out each week and be so conservative, it was weird. I'm used to seeing him in the glam stage like he was in the finale, when he had the crystals around his eyes, extravagant clothing, and belting those high notes that you would never think would come out of his mouth."

"I don't know how this whole Idol thing works but I know Adam will be huge, and probably more so now than if he had won. I'm honored to have gotten to not only work with him on this exhibition piece, but to have seen him perform so many times."

Pretty neat setup!

Maybe it'll still be there by Oct. 2010 when I may be getting back there....

I love the back story to the song. Been listening to his version for months now and it is so beautiful. Gave me chills the first time I heard and it still does now. Thanks for posting the story behind it.

You always find the best articles about Adam! I love all of you posts!

I really find it hard to believe that Adam is a diva to anyone other than himself. He just always is so polite and well spoken that I don't think he could be like that with people. Just another ploy to take attention off his incredible talent.

Also loved the second article. She has said basically what I've said all along. Adam does not owe anyone an answer or explaination to his "orientation" and does not want to be defined by it, nor should he be. He does not owe anyone anything other than to perform to the best of his ability when he is on stage. Nothing less, nothing more. Why does he need to be a poster child for gay rights in order to do that?

 

[DarthKTrava]

thanks for the links. OK, I'm going to be a bit catty but Drake is kinda wimpy looking and I think Adam could do much better!

Too bad Drake's gay 'cause he's rather cute!

this is random but does anyone know if there's an anti rain dance? It's suppose to rain next week and I don't want it.

Someone sure did the "MAKE IT RAIN" Dance here 'cause we got alot of rain since Wednesday! Some storms came thru Greensboro, NC that dumped anywhere from 4" of rain up to over 8"!!! And then we got an additional 1"-2" of rain last night and this morning.
