Adam Lambert News Roundup
ETA: The first three parts of Michael Slezak’s interview with Adam Lambert HERE. The AMA/GMA controversy is discussed, plus Adam’s take on this morning’s interview with the CBS Early show– CBS blurred out a photo of the kiss with his keyboard player while leaving a Madonna/Britney kiss photo censor-free…
There’s lots of Adam Lambert news in the wake of the fallout from his controversial American Music Awards appearance and subsequent cancellation of his GMA appearance.
Adam’s hastily scheduled CBS Early Show performance went off without a hitch this morning (interviews and performances HERE)
I posted a slew of Adam Lambert related newstories in today’s headlines. Here are a few stories that missed the deadline:
Newsweek wonders why Adam’s male on male kiss was such a big deal. A sales analysis of Adam’s promising first week sales numbers (250′ish) in light of AMA bruhaha (controversy sells). NPR’s Linda Holmes’ wonders how a performer forgets he’s on television. The New York Daily News think’s Adam’s performance is a kiss goodbye to American Idol.
After the jump, Adam tells Jim Cantiello of MTV news why he left “Suburban Decay” and “Voodoo” off the album. Plus, scheduling conflicts kept RedOne and Adam from finishing the sessions they started. No hard feelings, though. Make sure to watch the entire 13 part series HERE.
Bonus: Adam has martinis with Michelle Collins of Best Week Ever. Hilarious.
Videos after the JUMP…

I think by the time the NYE show rolls around, the fallout from the AMAs will be a distant memory. Plus, by its very definition, it’s a late night show, lol.
Thanks for the live report, GaGaGlambert
I cannot wait to see Adam and his band out on tour. I think it will be a treat.
Thanks Tamalepie!
BTW-on the one Jim C video, Adam talks about the solo solo lyric on Strut. I sent him this tweet way back when people were discussing the redundancy of that lyric. Guess I was right!
@adamlambert Is it solo solo so low so low?

Of course he never replied, but I was so excited when he mentioned that exact thing in the interview.
Oh, and FYE single now up to #23
cher, I got there @4:30 am. CBS has us lined up along east 59th street and moved us onto the plaza @6:00 am, I think – wasn’t really looking at the time, too busy chatting with other fans and having a good time. The Early Show started @ 7:00 am. As a resident New Yorker, I didn’t find it cold for this time of year. It was 50 degrees when I got on line, not windy and I was very warmly dressed. There were a lot of people there to see Adam, hundreds and hundreds at very least. 4evrmomof4 who I was standing with said that she heard that there were @1,000 people attending. Thanks, cher, I was so happy I could be there, too.
I wrote a recap in The Early Show thread http://mjsbigblog.com/adam-lambert-cbs-early-show-video-2.htm/comment-page-10#comment-506971
OMG I really hope so…there is no doubt in my mind he will truly blow us away with his vocals if he performs on her show
