he [Adam] should get the smoke, mirrors, pyrotechnics, rose petals tossed ever-so-delicately in his path, cabana boys toting palm fronds to cool his fevered-but-never-sweating Adonis-like brow, special wardrobe including stegosaurus jackets and boots flown in from Switzlerland, special medleys just for his special self, a Lear Jet all to himself so he doesn’t have to ride the bus with the also-rans, any number of handlers and attendants to spritz him and perfume him and massage him and sort his M&Ms so that he will only have to see the green ones,

That’d be cool. Can I spritz or wipe his brows?

After looking at the group pic from Danny’s tweet, it does confirm that Adam and Megan were close from the beginning of the season. I had seen them with their arms around each at the end of at least one the results show.

OMG – do you think they’re an item JK, of course.

Still, I always thought of a bunch of the group as getting along really well behind the scenes – not just Adam, Allison, and Kris – but also Megan, Anoop, Matt, Lil. They all seem very fun and silly.

And that vid with Adam and Lil was very cute – yeah, Adam’s Single Ladies impression (where is his version on youtube )

I wouldn’t worry about Adam fans not sitting through Kris’s set – way too much Kradam love out there for that. I never liked Kris during the season as a performer (just not my style), but I LOVE him as a person, and really respect him as an artist, and I’m definitely looking forward to seeing him on the tour!

In general, I think they will all do really well – they always have in the past. Some are not as interesting or memorable as others (usually more based on song choice than ability), but all of them are entertaining and good.

ETA: I think Sarver and Scott are going to have the hardest time wowing me just by looking at the song choices – I just can’t imagine how “Closer” is going to come across.

As I said, the audience was well-behaved, I didn’t see any OTT fangirls. Thank God. Most people seemed quite rational. The line for the bathroom was the biggest bone of contention — my daughter and I went during the top 5-10 group performance. Didn’t want to have to use the port-o-pottys lined up outside.

From my experience, the only “haters” and OTT behavior I’ve encountered has been online. I don’t think people paying $125.00 a ticket or more are going to leave a show just because Adam Lambert has finished his set. Many, many people enjoy the other contestants. I’m thinking some people here need a dose of reality. (I recall David Cook had plenty of vocal haters online, but his fans prevailed, as he did as well.)

I worry a little bit about Allison because she’s young and inexperienced, but I 99% am sure she’ll be fine also. After the way she handled herself at the finale, I know she will be.

And Kris seems to handle himself well under pressure so he’ll be okay too.

“On Kris vs. Adam, I think it doesn’t matter anymore even if Kris won. This is already the post-idol phase. Everything is up in the air for grabs. Never believed in AI’s voting system’ ¦.and never will.”\\

Same here, i don’t go with AI voting system. There are a lot of fans online who never got to vote for Adam. As you said, this is post-idol – everything is up for grabs. I for one will always support ADAM! Love him always!

The contest never ends! *evil laughter* Even though Kris and Adam’s cd sound like it’s going to be polar opposites, we must always find a way to compare!! When you hear an Adam song in the club, me must wonder why they’re not playing Kris. And when you hear a Kris song come up in a coffee shop, we must wonder why Adam is not there! hehe..

lol Remind me to do this. I want to be known as the crazy lady in the club and coffee house (“Didn’t you know Kris Allen won the show? Why are you playing an Adam dance mix in this club?!!” or “Kris shouldn’t have won and he should not be played when I buy soy lattes!”).

I guess I shouldn’t really joke about this since some of the posts I assumed were parodies in this thread weren’t.

I actually look forward to Lil doing “Single Ladies” and it will probably be one of the highlights for me (this is not a joke, by the way — it sounds like good fun). I just wish Megan stayed one spot longer than Scott so I could show later.

I’m glad this interviewer stuck to questions about the show and gave equal time to Lil. I don’t think there are that many press folks there, unlike the tour press day. One writer at that press day said everyone wanted to interview Adam, as we could see.

I think the Seattle Times reporter said there were 15-20 there. That’s a lot, especially since they have to sing tonight.

” I must admit I was never a fan of Lil on the show but I like what I’m seeing of her in these behind the scenes clips. It’s also great that the Idols seem to be into each other’s performances ‘ ¦. ”

I think Lil may be the big surprise on the tour. I have a feeling she is going to be great. I think her nerves and Simon got the best of her on the show.

So far, that’s the only year I got into SYTYCD

Me too, and I went to the live show. I actually went to last years too even though I didn’t watch any of the show, went with my sister. It wasn’t as good as Benji’s tour. Ironically it was around Halloween so the group did the Thriller dance, Michael would have been proud.

ETA: I agree Adam looks great in that video, even his ears are sexy.

BTW, I’m sorry, I have to say it, Adam is cuter than ever in that video. Damn!! Lil is awesome too, but I do sense some nerves there (and I can’t blame her one bit). Adam, way to stand your ground with the reporters!

On Kris vs. Adam, I think it doesn’t matter anymore even if Kris won. This is already the post-idol phase. Everything is up in the air for grabs. Never believed in AI’s voting system….and never will.

Adam!

Why are there so many Ne-Yo songs?

Really cute backstage video of Adam and Lil!

Love those two together!

How is it I was oblivious to this whole phenomenon until this year?

You and me both. My sister got caught up in the SYTYCD drama the year Benji Schwimmer (sp) won, she was fan of his, and I never understood how she got so involved, now I know. You just get sucked in.

I haven’t banned anyone yet, but the night is still young.

I don’t know what the TV mix does to these kids voices, but Adam, live, is unbelievable. At the Finale, everytime he opened his mouth it was amazing.
And, although I’m not a fan, I’ll tell you who else sounds better live – Danny! (Ya, I can not believe I just admitted that.)

Could explain why the judges were so into the two of them.

Thank you! Adam is soooo cute!!

Editing and bannings about to commence!

…ok i missed the obvious. kradam isn’t mj. MJ is mj coming in to break up the dance fight.

im with those that are trying to write papers/do work today. lord help me. or was that adam help me? (TM smartcookie)

thank you LisaE – that video was awesome!

In my opinion, it totally and completely sucks that the producers and tour management have decided that Adam and Kris are co-winners and have been promoting it as such when they were not, in fact, co-winners. AFAIK, it wasn’t even close

Really – what I think has happened is that TPTB know that internationally there is far more appeal with Adam so they are running with it. Yes, Kris won in the U.S., but apparently that is not what TPTB are looking for. The show is a joke, but I am glad that it has at least given a couple of them a foot in the door.
