Okay, you know how I keep thinking I can't possibly love Adam Lambert any more than I already do? His album cover features blue hair and drips andgrogyny, his Rolling Stone article mentioned shrooming and he loves The Ark, IAMX and Velvet Goldmine!

Well check this out:




THAT'S A PONYTAIL BITCHES!


The only man to have sported that 'do that comes to mind is... The only person I rank ahead of Adam Lambert! )


P.S. Okay, seriously, this is driving me nuts! Who was it that posted recently about Scott Walker? I have been obsessing a bit lately and wish I could track down that entry. I know it amused me.

Lambert is especially happy about where fans will be able to see the "Time for Miracles" video: the big screen. "The '2012' trailer that we put together with the ['Time for Miracles' music video] will be premiering at the Michael Jackson film," Lambert revealed to MTV News, referring to a special trailer that will run before the upcoming documentary "Michael Jackson's This Is It."


[info]vote4adam just posted this over on twitter:

Adam on Ryan Seacrest radio show: http://mjsbigblog.com/adam-lambert-the-ryan-seacrest-interview.htm


Adam will be performing at the AMA Awards! He’ll be performing his first single from his upcoming album. The single is yet to be determined.
He says the single will be something entirely different from “Time for Miracles.” The single will be “glammy”. He wants something really over the top, with lots of dancing and costumes…
He calls the video for “Time for Miracles” “epic”
He says the single will be announced any day now. Album out November 24th. No for the album yet.
Bringing back a glam rock feel to pop music.
He loves the Lady Gaga tour rumor, but no offers have been made yet.

@ AMA announcemnets... )

I changed my mind about my Halloween costume. I was going to be Sally Bowles from Cabaret but the outfit isn't coming together very quickly. I found the perfect shoes a week and a half ago. Brandy called them "dykey gay boy shoes" which must be why I LOVE THEM. Anyhow! These shoes will still work well for my new Halloween costume. What's that? I didn't mention what it is yet? Hm. I'm almsot as bad as those 2012 people only letting us hear snippets of Adam's new track "Time For Miracles". Want a hint? I won't really have to dress up all that much... Maybe a little less makeup and a drawn on wrist tattoo. If I could get ahold of a leather jacket it would help but I can make do with the clothes I have.

No ideas still?

*drumroll please* )

You all know I'm getting a life-sized oil painting of this for over the fireplace right?

I went on a *bit* of a picspam here... )

Warning: I am a huge nerd for SYTYCD? This is the first in what is bound to be a barrage of posts on this subject each week.

First episode of the season was tonight! After the usual set of mediocre attempts there was a guy named Chimeze who was very charismatic. Then I was really rooting for this Japanese guy's audition to go well. They set it up in the introduction like it could possibly go the Willam Hung route. Luckily he was damn entertaining! I won't try to attempt spelling his name but I will find the clip when possible.

Right before a commercial break there was a shot of a guy crying while the voiceover speculated of a dancer's dreams being crushed and I thought to myself, "Oh no, I already like this guy without seeing him dance!" they showed him crying after the judges ask him "What does the umbrella represent to you?" Hmm... )

The last performance ended up being SPECTACULAR. Brandon Bryant (if I caught the name correctly) returned from an early elimination last year to a guy who's name slips my mind but I remember being pretty damn good and that he deeply seemed to crush on his partner who had a boyfriend in real life. Anyhow! BRANDON BRYANT was fucking solid. You can tell that year of training was good for him! I will be looking for that video.


On the subject of Adam Lambert... I have calmed down enough to post about it. It's just the results I predicted from first episode that I watched this season (Country Week -Ring Of Fire) I thought that Kris would place first and Adam would place second. I also had fallen head over heel for him in that single silver jacketed performance. As those of you around when that occured might remember, I had only made an effort to watch American Idol when I stumbled upon some glamtastic photos (http://velvetgunpowder.livejournal.com/187879.html) of Adam Lambert. My brother said that he got "a little too Patrick WOlf on 'em" and I said I anjoyed every minute of it! He was like "I bet you did!" I might need to mention that 'Patrick Wolf' is my brother's slang for gay. *Sigh* Such things need articulating when around me enough I guess.

Anyhow! As for Adam placing second, he won't be stuck with that craptastic faux-hymnal about Magic Mountains and Hurricaines... Plus he looked so damn foxy: Let the picspammage commence! )

OMFG ADAM LAMBERT I LOVE YOU SO MUCH.




Okay, I am well aware I'm not really communicating with him via my LJ... Check out this clip though:


Part Two: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hVZt_hT-S-Q&feature=player_embedded

What does he like to do other than sing? Why play dress up of course! I love hearing him talk. Did you hear his description of performing "Satisfaction"? Yes. His imitation of his mom's voice is too cute. I can identify with nearly everything he's said other than his love of people in general... but the not having a filter thing? Yeah. We are both Aquarians so I guess it all adds up... and Gossip Girl as a guilty pleasure? Yeah. I watched every episode until the schedule conflicted with Chuck. I guess Ed Westwick (I love him quite a bit) will be in the remake of Donnie Darko. I have been against this sequel since I heard about it but also curious... at least now I know I will have some eye candy.

Speaking of "eye candy"! Let's get back on the topic of Adam Lambert, yes? I have been digging his Citizen Vein stuff lately. I think upon initially listening to all of his pre-idol stuff songs, I was distracted by the overt gheyness (Check the "Adam Lambert tag at [info]slashfact) of his solo stuff and overlooked what are some great glammish rock songs. Here are some lyrics: I black my eyes and I black my hair So girls and boys will both stop and stare )

If you have any interest in Adam Lambert and haven't joined [info]adamlambertai8 I suggest you do. You can find anything of his to download there that isn't available for purchase via iTunes: http://community.livejournal.com/adamlambertai8/165635.html

Yayayay. Oh lord I am too stoked about this AI finale. Oooh! And the concert yay!

P.S. I find this photo kind of hilarious. The are each certainly portraying the best fitting monkey:Hear no evil, sing no Gokey )
Kris can't even look because he's a timid little mouse and Adam is covering his ears because Gokey is nearby while thankfully Gokey has his mouth covered.

P.P.S. I saw Adam Lambert and Kris Allen's lovechild working at Walgreen's the other day. He was apparently born as an adult but whatever, don't poke holes in my logic. It was funny, the dude had the same hair coloring and basic build/height of Kris Allen but his hair was styled like Adam and his speaking voice was similar. Heh.

My mom usually works weeknights until 10 or 11 so she hasn't seen any of this season's American Idol. Since she's on a different schedule this week I reminded her to watch the show to confirm how lame Danny Gokey is and how amazing Adam Lambert is. I called her during Gokey and after Kris Allen to confirm that Kris Allen is adorable and should be in the top two with Adam and braced her for the awesomeness of Adam Lambert... after the first song ("One" by U2) she just said "Well they all agreed with you" but you could tell she wasn't blown away. I didn't like his shirt* by the way but he's smart and trying to appeal to middle America methinks. She called me after Adam's second song to say "That kid ROCKS!" and I was like, "I'll call you back, I know! love you." because Adam was still on screen getting his comments. Anyhow after the show my mom was like, "That guy is outstandingly better than the others. It doesn't even seem like a competition." To which I informed her to beware the evangelist vote which has kept Danny Gokey out of the bottom three the entire season. When little clips are shown of each contestant on the commercial for the AI tour, what do you suppose Gokey Dokey is doing? Ahhh, that's right putting his hands in a praying gesture. He made sure to wear a cross last night too. If he stays on and Adam gets booted I might flip out. I need to see Adam in the finale. It needs to happen. I have hoped for either a finale between he and Kris (Kradam, hahaha) or he and Gokey. The prior for pure entertainment/slashing value and the latter to impress upon America Adam's vocal superiority.

Why Danny Gokey must be stopped:
http://television.aol.com/american-idol/2009/05/12/danny-gokey-must-be-stopped/?icid=main|htmlws-main|dl2|link5|http%3A%2F%2Ftelevision.aol.com%2Famerican-idol%2F2009%2F05%2F12%2Fdanny-gokey-must-be-stopped%2F


"It's okay guys, I love America too, see?"


Adam's performances from last night can be found here: http://community.livejournal.com/adamlambertai8/182951.html

I don't really like Aerosmith but what a classy pimp move from Adam in reference to Gokey's rendition of "Scream Dream On" Like, "See Gokey? This is how you do Aerosmith without assualting the collective eardrums of America!"

So... seriously I must have voted over 200 times. I can't really be sure but I voted for nearly two hours solid until my home phone ran out of batteries. I won't be watching the results show as usual because I may be obsessed with Adam Lambert but NOTHING will keep from watching LOST. Especially tonight. It's the season finale! This show just keeps improving. Not the mention there has finally been enough Richard Alpert the past few weeks. I normally am very distressed at it being the final episode of LOST's season but I am so happy about the scheduling this year. I will be able to watch the results for American Idol next week which damn well better include Adam Lambert. I might be trying to persuade you guys to throw some votes his way next week. Voting is free from land lines...

P.S. Did you all hear what Simon said last night? He basically ordered America to vote for Adam because he has the talent and deserves to stay.

P.P.S. a couple more homecoming photos... )

ETA: I mentioned to my Dad today how I always made fun of my sister for voting on American Idol and that now I've been voting like a fiend and he says, "What, is there a homo on there this year?" Hahaha. If you knew my Dad you would know that he's not saying that in an especially homophobic way... he's just extraordinarily caustic.

P.S. Since this post is public I think I'll pimp [info]slashfact to anyone who might possibly be interested. I plan on doing a Kradam post so feel free to leave me any relevant photos/quotes in the comments.

Ohhhhhhhhh Boyyyy does KanYe West knows how to wear him a pair of pants! Daaamn, you know he's fine if I'm not thrown by the fact that he's wearing a Canadian tuxedo! For those of you unaware, that's denim head to toe. A huge thanks to [info]symphonic_dame for once again giving me the East Coast heads up! I sure as hell wouldn't have been watching American Idol otherwise! I actually would have skipped it still in lieu of LOST if not for the fact that a repeat was airing.

I also wouldn't be about to post a reeeeediculous picspam of Adam Lambert. I've still not see him perform on American Idol but you know what? I still think he should win. Why, you may ask?

Here's the first reason:

I saw that picture like a week or so ago and made a mental note to catch American Idol and entirely ignored myself.

Let the ghei commence! )
