Adam Lambert – Grammy (And Birthday) Goodness – VIDEO
It’s Grammy weekend, and the Idols are out in full force for the pre-awards festivities that include gifting suites and lots and lots of media interviews…
For Adam Lambert, first up is Westwood Radio One with Randy Jackson where the Idol judge spends a good portion of interview blathering about ancient history (last season? We’re over that!).
After, Randy lets loose a torrent of praise for Adam’s new album For Your Entertainment (which Randy pretty much dissed in a recent MTV interview). Alrighty then!
Keep checking this space, as I’ll be adding more Grammy interviews and bonus birthday material as it becomes available!

mttp…..totally agree with you! The teens and tweens these days move on so quickly to the next thing. So many one hit wonders. Can anyone remember the groups that had songs out in the last 5 years with a continuous and loyal fan base? I can’t.
I think Adam has a lot of older fans. But I went to two AI concerts, and believe me, he has a lot of younger fans too. Young or old, I think Adam fans see something special and unique in him. I was happy when Randy Jackson mentioned Adam’s charisma. He’s definitely got that!
JOJOSIE– I loved your posts. Thanks for sharing your story! I love hearing about all the different kinds of people who adore Adam.
soverymel and jaxrivers– I agree with you. I think people are reading way too much into Monte’s posts.
I don’t get the stalkarrazi video. Were they leaving the party??? That was so boring! Except for seeing Adam….
Plenty of pop stars have a loyal fanbase. Beyonce, Britney (there were people who stuck by her even through her meltdown), Justin (still has a fanbase despite being off the scene for a long time), Taylor Swift has a pretty loyal (and large) fanbase that I suspect will last for many years, even groups like the Backstreet Boys retained a fanbase even after their music started going downhill. There are super loyal fanbases in rap too, Eminem and Jay Z in particular have had pretty loyal fanbases. And I’m just picking out some of the most high profile people.
I just read the 80% of the viewer who watched the ‘09 finale -were 35yrs and older. That is one reason the electro -pop album isn’t as big a hit as a traditional Rock&Roll album would have been. Look at the sales of Susan Boyle and Michael Buble albums- ballads-David Cook sold platinum in 3 months.Daughtry got a grammy. They stayed to their genre on Idol.Adam is a better singer- and his AI fan base of millions were ready for Rock and Roll like on the show.If it weren’t for the anticipation of a Rock and Roll CD from a glam rock star, it would have been fine.but to expect R&R and get that electro pop is a disappointment. Should have done electro pop on AI – and stuck w it or stayed to the image/genre of Rock he gave us on AI. my opinion. I still like him, but that’s because I know he can sing. & I like him period.
I’d prefer Adam to work with artists who are in their prime, not past it, tbh. He needs to seem more fresh and current, not dated, if he wants to have mainstream success.
Electro pop doesn’t work on AI because the AI band can’t mix electro sounds all that well, especially not live.
I don’t get that.
AI fans aren’t enough to make a career off of. As it is, Adam didn’t do all rock on AI, he did plenty of other genres. Besides, it’s a bit hard for a new artist to brand themselves on a show that specializes in decades old music. Unless one is going for country or ez listening, which really haven’t changed much in several decades.

Ok curiosity got the best of me… what is Harmony Solo? Guitar and singer?
Did anyone hear ryan interviewing adam on at40 this weekend? What did he say?
Yes, it was just the same interview Ryan did with Adam in the studio a couple weeks ago. Nothing new, just the same old AMA “Do you have any regrets?” and “What advice do you have for the new Idol contestants?” type questions.
sherena…obviously I did not mean the high profile people….they are high profile!
Anyone hear anything about the AOL sessions?
Good Morning luval!! I’m also waiting (not so patiently!!) for those AOL sessions…come on TPTB..get moving!!

Adam did electro/dance/funk on AI Play That Funky Music, Born To Be Wild, included this. He also stated numerous times he was doing an album of rock, funk, electro, dance. I guess some fans weren’t paying attn to what Adam wanted to do and blame Adam for not doing what they wanted which was all rock.
Yep. Tru dat. It was the likes of Kara and Randy who kept hammering in the idea: ROCK ALBUM ROCK ALBUM. While Adam just seemed to give a “hmm. ok” non-answer, because it was never his intention to go 100% rock.
IMO, what was mentioned above as the disconnect between an AI audience of (mostly) over 35 year-olds and the kind of music that Adam and Kris came out with is more the issue – the AI audience now skews even older than before, and with Adam and Kris turning out much more youth-oriented albums, imo, that’s where you have the disconnect.
There is some Rock on his album. WWFM, Aftermath, Sleepwalker, and even Sure Fire Winners has some blistering guitar work. A more 80’s style rock sound but it’s still rock n roll. Adam said his album was going to mix a bunch of styles.
Should have done electro pop on AI – and stuck w it or stayed to the image/genre of Rock he gave us on AI.
This is one of the problems with AI. The show is all about youngsters performing songs from decades ago – songs that the audience knows and usually loves. The fans fall in love with them singing classic songs, and then when they release genre-specific contemporary albums, America just couldn’t care less.
People raved about Fantasia singing Summertime, for example. But then she released a modern R & B album and lost her audience.
That’s also one reason that AI audience skews older. It’s not so much about giving the contestants a viable launching pad for a current music careers but about who best performs songs from 2 generations ago.
Adam has mentioned a few times that he doesn’t want to sing “classic rock” because it’s been done in the 70s. It’s called classic for a reason he said. He loves the genre but wants to do something with a contemporary twist.

He means he and Adam singing harmony together for the entire song out front instead of him being a backup vocal. Since Monte actually wants to be/is a singer songwriter too. Right now he did some backup vocals with Lisa on FYE, Music Again and WWFM on tv. I remember him saying Letterman’s freezing studio made his voice quiver it wasn’t vibrato. I think his voice blends well with Adam’s although it was his vocal that was primarily so out of tune at the AMA’s unfortunately. I don’t think he could hear that night.
