Adam Lambert: More On the AMA Rehearsals
According to the LA Times, reporters were let into Adam Lambert’s AMA rehearsal for a few minutes yesterday, but then were quickly ushered out:
For about five minutes, this reporter was allowed to write notes from a cushy blue chair in the audience during Lambert’s rehearsal, watching as dancers sashayed across the floor in spangly harem pants, leotards with torn tights and in one particular eye-catching costume, leather pants topped off with a few leather suspender-straps and silvery chains on an otherwise bare-chested male dancer. A Lambert performance, we were reminded, is not a place for demure displays of postmodern dance. As for the panther himself, he took a few leisurely leaps to various levels of scaffolding, singing into a phantom mic and writhing with whatever dancer was around. On the top level of the scaffolding, a band of indeterminate numbers played keyboards, a flying V guitar and other gadgets, all of which collude to formulate the glam-rock pyramid that Lambert mightily prays to on a seemingly daily basis.
I’m sure there will be a few more reports today, I’ll post them here when they are available. Also, check out the preview I posted last night from ABC news HERE.
The American Music Awards will be broadcast Sunday, November 22 on ABC. I’ll be live-blogging, of course!
More Photos after the JUMP…

I liked the font too! I think it looks great. The album cover isn’t my out and out favorite for him (although I get what he’s trying to do), but I think the cover will work conceptually once I have the whole thing and can see all the pictures. The font rocks, though. It’s like a neon flashing font!!
I’m one of the few too. I was taken aback first by the album cover, it was unexpected and I loved it! Loved the “For Your Entertainment” font because it reminded me of Prince’s Purple Rain font.
OMG, that Billboard article! The Barbara Walters special was something that I dreamed of for Adam since the finale of AI.
New Years Eve with Ryan. Does that mean Times Sq? *dies*.
Taking sofa requests from now! I have someone coming in for Letterman. Two people for GMA (one is taking the floor). I love having company. In the early 70’s my place was the hang-out place. I used to have to step over bodies on Sun morn (afternoon) to get to the bathroom.
lucky sidewalkstory.have fun.:)
adamaloha i flive it:)
I remember thinking after the show ended that I could get back to RL. Then came the tour. After the tour ended I thought “RL NOW?”. Nope not yet. Ok – how about after the album drops? Don’t think so. So now til the end of the year it’s looks like Adam pretty much all the time. And in the new year comes the big freaking TOUR!
Exciting times!
Actually, that’s their “Adam Lambert Fans” magazine – where they profile the most OTT peeps that follow Adam. The mag is not about Adam per se, though I’m sure there will be pics of him in it.
thank you luv
So excited for Adam!!!
Cindij – i live in LA too and I got my CD, too!!!!! jumped and flailed before my friend reminded me that I have a sore back (fell down the stairs last night). i hope everyone gets their CDs soon!!!

Lol – I know – this site is more family than my family
Especially on Friday – I’ve noticed Friday is always the most flail worthy day, then everything gets kinda depressing and crazy on Monday-Wednesday, to return to flail mode on Friday.
‘Late on the dragging-the-girl-across-the-floor gate, but uh, Apache Dance anyone? You know, the French one that’s like 100 years old and has been featured in countless musicals, Bugs Bunny cartoons, and I Love Lucy???
Tacoma WA (3:16 PM) postal service just delivered FYE – Whooohooo!! no more streaming. Photo book is cool. Have seen several of the photos from various posts. One of them is current wallpaper on Adam’s twitter. On inside cover: “I was born with gilitter on my face. My baby clothes were made of leather and lace..” Excuse me while I go indulge my fantasies.

YAY! Another ‘Tacoman’ in the house! Just got mine several hours ago too!!
I am sooo glad I get to rip this bad boy to my ipod for the weekend!
Did you go to the concert at the Dome this summer?
Just got my FYE Deluxe!
Off to give it a listen! (As though I’ve never heard the songs. A million times. Heh.)
Molls:
Yes, did the TDome. Kicking myself for missing Portland and Vancouver. Still searching for potential tour dates/locations. Need to get my travel plans, cash reserves and leave time in order so I can go to at least a few shows.

Sounds like we’re on the same wavelength! And if Adam does go to Portland and Vancouver, I’m going to do everything I can to go to all! That’s the nice thing about living in the Seattle-area: the Portland-Seattle-Vancouver corridor gives us great concerts only a couple hours away.
Adam’s music sounds AWESOME on the CD – so much better than the streaming, and I thought that was great! “Fever” is kicking my ass right now; it’s addictive!
Now just gearing up for AMAs on Sunday night!
It’s almost like waiting for Santa when I was a child-just counting the days till Adam’s performance on AMA. It will be nice to see the other Idols too, but Im crazy wild about Adam. His CD arrived. It is magnificant.
Does any one know if Adam or Kris will be guests at the Macy’s Thanksgiving day parade??? MJ, can you post a list of attendees???
excited
It’s here!!!! It’s here!!!!! Oh so pretty!!! Sounds so goooood!!!!!
Yay! Yay! Yay!
