Adam Lambert Tapes Oprah Winfrey Segment, Album Release Date Pushed Up to 11/23
Adam Lambert taped an appearance on the Oprah Winfrey show on Friday afternoon, and it appears all went well, according to reports from the twitterverse and messageboards.
The air date of the show–focusing on favorite reality stars–is still to be determined.
The following is a snip from a poster at the Idol Forums message boards who attended the taping. Multiple tweets from other attendees confirm her info:
Basically Adam came on live via video, wore a simple black T, no makeup, his hair was emo, back to the old part, which will make some of you happy. He looked relaxed and happy! They played BTBW on the big screen to huge cheers from everyone. He was voted favorite reality show star by the Oprah audience, which is why he was on. Said his album drops Nov 23rd, which really surprised us. He said it twice, I believe. Oprah asked him whether he’d come back to sing something at a later date and he said ‘I really hope so’ . Had the feeling Oprah really wants him on the show. He was asked about whether he was upset that he didn’t win and he gave the usual answer, that no, he still got everything he wanted.
Yes, the album release date has changed from Tuesday November 24 to Monday November 23.
I’m hearing that Universal Records decided to release their artists’ albums on Monday instead of Tuesday the week of Thanksgiving, calling the day “Super Monday”. That move prompted Sony Records, the parent of Adam’s label RCA, to do the same.

Also, IMHO, Time for Miracles is going to be released in a manner that works for the movie, not necessarily for Adam. This is a movie song, produced for a movie and a movie soundtrack NOT an Adam song. I really do think that the release of the song is more centered around what works best for this 2012 global movie and how they can use the buzz around Adam to best promote the movie. While I am sure Adam’s people want to make sure it doesn’t interfere with his own song/album promo, I still think the reason it was changed in the US was due to the music video trailer etc. during This is It in conjuction with movie promo, etc.
Sorry-messed up the quotes, and I don’t speak the language, not spek it!
Maybe another single for the deluxe edition? with video included
Awhile back, Lady GaGa said on the Ryan Seacrest radio show that she knows something about Adam Lambert, but doesn’t want to say it.
Remember reading about it, but can’t remember when this happened.
Zsus- that Kentucky Derby was the first time TFM made me cry. I can so see that song becoming an anthem for underdogs.
At first I thought Adam might do something w/Gaga on the AMA’s just as Alicia Keys has invited JayZ to perform with her on the AMA’s. But then I figured the AMA’s were such a coup for Adam, so why does he need to share the spotlight? I think LadyGaGa performing w/Adam would demote Adam to 2nd billing rather than the spotlight.
If it turns out that their meeting IS for the AMA’s, I don’t think we will be in suspense for long. It was announced that JayZ would be performing with Alicia Keys only a couple of days after the initial line-up was announced.
Per the tweet regarding Adam and Gaga:
Jeff Bhuskar is also a producer and writer:
From Wiki:
Jeff Bhasker is a producer, writer and vocalist as well as a multi-instrumentalist. Recently Jeff Bhasker was a music director for Kanye West, he contributed orchestral arrangements to West’s Glow in the Dark Tour. Jeff Bhasker will also be the musical director for the highly anticipated upcoming North American ‘Fame Kills’ tour featuring Lady Gaga and Kanye West beginning November, 2009.
His unique writing and production can be found on Jay Z “The Blueprint 3″, Kid Cudi’s debut CD Man on the Moon, Kanye’s “808s and Heartbreak” album, the single by American R&B singer Keri Hilson “Turnin’ Me On”, and the Grammy nominated “Swagga Like Us”, among others. Bhasker first came on the scene producing the title track for The Game’s “The Documentary” and songs for Goapele.
He received his first platinum plaque from producing on The Game’s The Documentary
New Adam thread is up!!!
Adam just mentions her way too much for there not to be some kind of connection. If he had not been in contact with her peeps, it would almost sound like he was begging or something (which I do not believe he would do.)
I have believed and still do that there are some negotiations going on or there is already a collaboration and he is pimping her just like he does all of his friends and colleagues. And I mean that in a good way of course.
I hope he is performing on the AMAs on his own.
I truly can’t imagine that Adam’s team would want him to share his AMA spotlight with anyone else — it’s just too big an opportunity for him to introduce himself to a wider audience. The only exception I could imagine is if they feel they need to do something to create extra buzz, so people are talking about it the next day when his album releases.
Well – he did mention performing his first single on the AMA’s – so that would seem to rule out a Gaga duet, unless they do some cool segue from him to her. If it can generate buzz the next day, and good buzz, not Kanye-quality buzz, that’s ok with me
I think people are forgetting this point…..
