Wow, tnx guys! what great links! and great statements about "clicking". Be sure everyone to head to the comments section on the Nile Rodgers link to read Nile's comments on Shady.
I'll just post it here for those who haven't seen it: (Tnx again so much to Anon 10:23 for sharing this) -Nile Rodgers : "Today's post is interesting on many levels. CHIC was the very first album to be recorded in the world famous Power Station Recording Studio back in 1977. After a few decades of mega-successes the studio was sold and renamed Avatar, and it's still one of the greatest studios in the world. I use every time I get the chance.
I think there's something cool about recording "Shady" in the exact place that I recorded CHIC's - CHIC, Bowie's - Let's Dance, Madonna's - Like A Virgin, Diana Ross' - Diana, Sister Sledge's - We Are Family and so on.
They say, "there's mojo in certain recording studios!" I'm hoping some of that Power Station mojo rubs off on Adam. He's a talented dude and a genuinely nice person.
I recorded so many hits in that studio that even an offshoot of Duran Duran, one of the many acts I did there, called themselves Power Station. Good Luck Adam!
OT: I think Adam's management should have someone monitor his twitter account 24/7. I know that Twitter admitted to having problems with some accounts about followers suddenly unfollowing people without their knowing about it. Something fishy going on with Adam's twitter account (numbers up, then down, then up, then down...) Come on Twitter!!
Geeze, have never heard this recording, only live on Idol. ADAM ADAM ADAM!!!! Morning goosebumps. How many people saw that performance and asked "who the hell is that singer?".
Niles is such a genius and MAKES this song Shady which is one of my favorites and should def. be released as a single. Wish they would do this song on Idol together. I mean, talk about two legends! PLEASE DO SHADY ON IDOL!!!
His strut down those stairs on AI in that white suit was a sight I'll never forget!!!! But that was the week he ended up in the bottom 3 - will never understand that one!!! . . Adamluv
First WOW I too have the Idol performance on my ipod and I cant believe I hadnt heard this full version before it is simple breathtaking, gotta have it. The skating was lovely to. Well Done.
Perfect performance that melt Adam's voice with smooth,sexy movements. really good.I always loved that song but Adam's version is always amazing, no matter how many times I've heard it. So now time to go to youtube to watch Adam's on the white suit....mmmm
Yeah, I always loved Kurt Browning. He is a showman just like our dear Adam and he skated beautifully to Adam's fantastic version of "Feeling Good." One of my favorite songs by the voice from heaven.
I planned to watch just a short portion of this vid, but ended up getting trapped by the music and motion and watched it all. Beautifully done by both men!
I'm so glad I downloaded all of Adam's studio versions of the AI songs onto cd's. I don't have an Ipad, Iped, Ipid, Ipod, Ipud or sometimes Ipyd, but I have everything Adam in my car and on my stereo everyday.
Oh, and by the way, for those who don't recognize the word, a stereo is a combination radio (am & fm), record (vinyl) player and 6 cd player. You attach speakers to it and put them wherever you want. The speakers have woofers and tweeters and you can break all the windows in your house just by turning up the volume. The speakers are very useful as plant stands. You can even wire the speakers to your TV set and listen to everything in surround sound.
I'm signing off now, 'cause I want to listen to Adam sing the studio versions of everything he sang on AI in the order he sang them sans interruption. See ya
Wasn't it Kurt Browning who skated to I will always love you, or was that someone else? anyways, Love this song. I have it on my Ipod, also have Michael Bubles version, and recently when Michaels version came on my 10 yo was listening quietly for a while, then said 'this isn't nearly as good as Adam Lamberts version"...
Glad to see Randy (don't like him) give a shout out to Adam.
@Jadam, Feeling good studio version is still on youtube (at least last time I looked),you can convert it..
A professional skater named Nick LaRoche is a friend of Adam's. Nick asked Adam to sing I Just Love You for him to skate to. Adam recorded it in two takes. Don't know who is playing the piano, but if I had to guess I'd say it was the pianist at the Upright Cafe.
It's on YouTube if you want to see Nick's performance.
Guys, this is very important. Go to this radio's facebook page and write-in to request "Never Close Our Eyes by Adam Lambert" for radio spin. That's all you have to do. Please do it here:
Adam's Idol performances and studio versions AND the videos were what finally convinced me to download iTunes and buy an iPod Nano 3 years ago, so that I could have ALL of those amazing performances to listen to over and over again...which I have..I know they would only be available on iTunes for a limited time and was horrified to think I couldn't get them later. Still loving the songs, and those videos have entertained me through many a wait in doctors offices and on airline flights. And elsewhere. I also burn CD's for use in the car.. I have since had to upgrade to an iTouch as I exceeded the capacity of my first iPod...Needed room for all of the great upcoming music from Adam...not to mention MUSIC VIDEOS!!! YAY!!!!!!!
I remember telling my son that he MUST see this guy, Adam Lambert, on American Idol, because I thought he was amazing. My son is a theater geek as well, so was instantly hooked as a fan. The first vid that I showed him happened to be "Feeling Good" and he said "Wow! this guy is GOOD! He really knows how to not only sing, but to PERFORM!" " He isn't so much of an Idol fan, but he is definitely an Adam Lambert fan (and went to two GNT's). His favorite Adam Idol performance to this day is " Mad World".
Kurt Browning is as skilled, artistic and charismatic a world champion skater as ever existed and pairing his talent with that of Adam's unbelievable vocals just gives me such joy. I remember Kurt in his youthful prime and he has lost none of his touch. His interpretation here is flawless. Thank you so much for this video!!!!!!!
Thank you for this beautiful video of two great artists Adam and Kurt! I forgot how fabulous Adam was singing this song - NO ONE could ever come near Adam in sheer brilliance and total dreaminess and sexiness of this song (and he's so totally cool too). I have to check my old Idol favs on youtube. Like so many others, I saved them too. Every song Adam sang was a masterpiece! What a genius! Love him so much! (thud!) nancdruuu2

and see that "hitting" or clicking on certain sites do make a difference. Management takes notice of such stats!
Nile saying nice things about Adam again today:
http://www.nilerodgers.com/blogs/planet-c-in-english/1691-seen-for-the-first-time
Lovely, but didn't we see this a couple years ago?
and I felt that!
dayum that was flawless. Now I have to watch my video of Adam singing this in his white suit on my iPod from AI. My work is never done.
10:36 I think you are thinking of another routine using the music something like, I Just Love You. loved that too!!
I just melted in to a "pool of Abdul" when Adam strutterd down those stairs in that white suit.
Thought I had died and gone to heaven.
Looking and sounding like an angel.
Nice routine Kurt!
omg beautiful voice n angel coming from the top.
@10:19 a.m. Thanks for the link about Adam on popmusiclife..

IMO once Adam sang this song, he owned it and made it his. Lots of people singing it but not of Adam's caliber.
I have the video of Adam's performance of "Feeling Good" but had never heard this studio version. Absolutely breathtaking!
Geeze, have never heard this recording, only live on Idol.
ADAM ADAM ADAM!!!!
Morning goosebumps.
How many people saw that performance and asked "who the hell is that singer?".
Niles is such a genius and MAKES this song Shady which is one of my favorites and should def. be released as a single.
Wish they would do this song on Idol together.
I mean, talk about two legends!
PLEASE DO SHADY ON IDOL!!!
Gorgeous voice for a fantastic skater to perform by.
Adam just tweeted that he's doing NCOE on Idol on May 17!!!!

Jadam NZ this version I believe was on the idol album in 2009 on iTunes. not available now.
The skating was choreographed perfectly to this beautiful song by our beautiful man.
My two favorite things: Ice skating and singing by Adam Lambert.
Third favorite thing: the Dove chocolate ice cream bar I was eating while enjoying this video.
Look what Randy Jackson had to say!!
Randy Jackson @YO_RANDYJACKSON ·
Loved seeing @adamlambert on @jimmykimmel one of our best contestants ever!!!
Also, Adam tweeted that he WILL be performing on AI on May 17!! It's official!!
It's a good day :-)

There's a much better video of this if you Google Kurt Browning - Feeling Good
I'm sorry. Anon 7:51 AM again. I meant YouTube not Google.
