I feel indifferent about it, but one thing is clear: Adam has moved on past Idol.
Adam may be deep in rehearsals with Queen. I wonder where the they are being held; in the United States or Europe?
I totally agree! It would have been cool to see him up on that stage again tho 😊
Aw, that's too bad! Thought we could see him!!!
Awe to bad for Adam American Idol didn't want him to perform at the finale.
No surprise 1:57 I'm sure he could have. I don't think there's a good fit with any of the contestants and he has a huge tour coming up.
Silly me, for some reason I thought that would be the end of this subject for a conversation.
Adam is busy working with Queen? Is that the excuse or explanation here? I doubt that's the real reason. Adam has no new music to promote. Last year he performed with Angie at the finale. That was brilliant. This year everyone was speculating that Adam would duet with Caleb at the finale but he's performing with Kiss. A much better fit for Caleb IMO. Yes some were saying Adam should've performed with Queen for tour promo. That seems unnecessary. Most of the tour dates are sold out. There are endless hypothetical scenarios that one could come up with. But the I'm just gonna stick with the facts
He still may be there in the audience.
very very busy adam lambert his album plus his TOUR WITH QUEEN
@ADAM LAMBERT
At this moment I love you more than I ever have!
And that is a WHOLE LOTTA LOVE!!!
He already had an idol gig this year what the heck do some of you people want you don't need new music to do idol Clay did Bridge Over Troubled Water one year and Adam Titanium and the beat goes on.
2:17 is that a new tweet of Adam's? How sweet if it is.
My only feeling about the news is I feel sorry we won't have this opportunity to see and hear him....JAK
@2:30
Sorry no, it's only my "imaginary tweet" to Adam, love the man so much! (don't do Twitter in RL)
2:35 ha,ha very cute. I'll second that emotion.
Wow 16 comments so far on NO adam is not on the finale. hahahaha
@2:38
Thanks.
Adam does not live & work to fulfill the expectations of his fans or anyone, he is his own man and keeps surprising this fandom time and time again. What's not to love??? :)))))
Sounds to me from that answer from Management; that management might not think it's the best time for Adam to be on that show; because he just might have more important things to do! Just saying!
Just took Idol off of my DVR. Will tune in again; when and if Adam Lambert is on.
Well there goes the whole excitement of the finale as far as I am concerned. Goodbye Idol.
Adam Lambert is really above and beyond it all!
1:57 -- Awe, think you meant "too bad for American Idol show" that Adam is not performing because he is busy rehearsing songs like crazy for the SOLD OUT tour in the USA and Canada!!!
It would have been amazing to see Adam perform on Idol again, but I don't think he was a good fit for any of the finalists. Adam did the KISS finale and I don't really see Caleb doing any thing better than that. He was great last year with Angie because he came in so quietly to perform with her and that number stole the show. I realize that Idol is not all about Adam, but it would have been nice to see him one more time even if he is in the audience since he was a mentor on the show. I guess he might have started rehearsals for the Queenbert concerts and that is where his focus should be now.
I for one am glad he is not! The level of quality on that show is way beneath him at this point.....let's face it Adam broke AI.... Worst talent on there ever!
Well I can't wait to see this beautiful man with Queen; don't need any unneeded distractions. Adam and Queen will take the world by storm. Leaving eyes and mouths wide open at every venue. I cannot wait. I am so proud of Adam M. Lambert. Never ever tired of seeing him. He just brings the excitement and beauty and sexy, everywhere he goes!!
@4:19 PM
I agree with you 100%; did not know someone else felt the exact same way that I did! Like another poster said; "he is above and beyond that show now!!
Maybe Adam's Management and Idol could not agree on something regarding Adam being on. If that is the case; I love the way Adam's management looks out for his interest. I have seen how protective they are of him. I think that he probably listens to them closely knowing that they have the best interest of his long term career!
I think we have to remember that theAmerican Idol finale is not all about Adam Lambert. I would love to have seen him perform on the show, but for whatever the reasons, he will not do so. The Kiss and Adam performance was special and I don't know how Caleb will top that. I guess we will just have to wait and see. I would like tohave seen a more recent group rocking it out with him, but it probably wasn't possible to arrange. I personally think that Jena will win. I like her single and she will appeal to the younger members of the viewing and listening audience. However, it doesn't mean that even if you come in second or third that you will not have a successful music career. Time will tell if Idol produces any major recording artists from this season.
Let's face it; Adam would have brought the class, beauty and star power from one of their own alumni. Excitement and ratings follow Adam whereever he goes.
This is going to be Adam's best year ever! Don't believe me? Meet you in December and we'll compare notes! Everything is being set up this year and 2015 much more excitement; then Boom, he will no longer be denied!!!
I am not watching Idol next week, can't stand KISS. The top winners do get a nice hunk of money, and a new Ford car, just as Adam did.
If Adam is ever on it again, I might watch it. But that won't be until next year.
I just watched Adam's performance with Kiss on the Season 8 finale. Nothing is going to compare to his leather outfit, platform boots, metal wings and his gorgeous looks. It will be interesting to see what Caleb does with them. Maybe they tried to get Adam, but for whatever the reasons, he couldn't or didn't want to be in the finale. This entire season has been a big disappointment for me to watch so not having Adam on for the finale, just is another one to add to the show overall. He would have added such excitement and power to this final show. Good luck to both contestants as they pursue their careers in music.
Sony's Best of Adam's songs is no. 23 on Amazon:
Amazon Best Sellers Rank: #23 in Music (See Top 100 in Music)
#12 in Music > Rock
#22 in Music > Pop
It was at no. 20 earlier today.
Anyone that says it was a toss up between Adam and someone else does not deserve to be on the same stage with him! Someone had better recognize!!!
@5:12 PM
Wow! This bodes very well for Adam. Thanks for the information!
Maybe if RCA would have given Adam's Album half as much attention as they are giving this; it might have helped him a bit more!
I guess Kiss is happy to be returning.
I have two reasons that I'm a just a little disappointed that Adam and Queen won't be on the Finale..
1. I always love seeing Adam on TV (or anywhere else for that matter).. and
2. I also think it would be great promo for the Summer Tour..
But oh well.....
The first reason is admittedly selfish on my part, but one can dream, right?? ..But the second one truly is just wanting the best things possible to come Adam's way...
Obviously the Idol Finale isn't about Adam... but I would have been happy to see him for sure!!!! (My wish was REALLY that it was just Adam + Queen with none of the contestants singing with them.. another selfish wish :) That was a long for sure..but why not dream big???!!!
And just one more little thing: I want people to see just how fabulously talented Adam is (for HIM, not for me..).. again and again..and again... American Idol is seen all over the world.. Pretty nice worldwide free promo for Queen + Adam Lambert AND for keeping Adam in the spotlight..
What Country is our handsome man in? If he is here in the States; will he be attending the Bill Board Awards Sunday? I have been seening the advertisements and I swear, the same old singers that were at the other one that Adam presented at. Pit Bull, JLo, and on and on. Lord have mercy.
One day, I hope in the near future; the fabulous one will return as an entertainer at some of these show; then, watch out world!!
If I watch this show; I honestly will be pushing myself, without Adam being there in some capacity. Adam has ruined so many shows for me since he came into my entertainment watching life. I just find most others hard to watch now. I am serious!!
glitzylady, I agree with you all the way! Also, makes me a little sad. But, not to worry; good things are happening; and his best days are ahead!
4:39
Ditto....rose petal
AI is so off my radar now. As much as I love seeing Adam do just about anything, I'm not upset about him not being on the finale. He has bigger fish to fry right now. He's paid his dues to Idol and he has already been on as a mentor twice. I want the tour to be kickass with great reviews wherever they perform.
Looks like Sony's Best Of cd is doing well. That's good! Shows that Adam's fans love him.
Maybe it's just me, but Shosh always sounds kind of snotty.
5:22, RCA/Sony isn't giving it any attention. There is no promo for it.
I'm seeing the same expectations as before the last tour Adam did with Queen.... that this is his big break.... he will take the world by storm.... It didn't change things last time.....
Didn't RCA give a shout out about it at the beginning; that is how we knew about it? I thought I remember seeing something!
6:00 PM
It certainly did. But, this is not the same as before. It is taking place here in Adam's Country and around the World. Also, it is getting lots of promo. This is being billed as Queen+Adam. The tour that Adam joined Queen with in Europe seemed more like him just joining them. This appears that they want Adam to have the same billing as them. It will make a big difference, you will see! So thrilled for Adam. This is going to be a game changer for sure!!
Glad Best Of CD is still selling well. Shows that there is still allot of interest in Adam! Pre-order it here http://www.amazon.com/Playlist-Very-Best-Adam-Lambert/dp/B00JVQ7RK0/
5:55 I have read about it a lot on the internet doesn''t matter who is promoting it.
6:00 It sure didn't hurt his career that's for sure. Dominoes.
6:32, you mean a lot on Adam fan sites?
Shoshanna is not snotty at all. She answers almost all tweets from Adam's fans and gives out as much détails as she can. There are some things that she has to keep to herself at her clients' request.
6:06 PM, the last tour was also billed as Queen + Adam Lambert. It is the same logo this time. It is the same as before, just more concerts.
6:43, didn't hurt it but sure didn't help Trespassing.
He was on tour with Queen before ?I knew he did some gigs with them but a tour?
6:46 no many sites mention it and I just got an Email saying it was his new album or something like that from Amazon.
He did a 6 venue tour before. I guess a tour is as long as you want it to be.
I guess it is better he will not be on this year I would just get upset when they show Jennifer all the time instead of who is performing I like her but all the camera time she gets is silly not fair to the contestants.
Adams moved on to bigger fish and way outgrown AI. Plus, his given back many times with appearances over the years. It appears people in the industry are treating Adam with a new found respect! Go figure!
With ADAM hanging with the big guys now (and right where he should be) it carries enormous weight and finally he gets to be recognised, respected and desired!!! It was about bloody time!!!!
So glad Adams not appearing on AI this year. Get Danny Gokey back on there!
Although I like Caleb , singing with kiss is going to bring back my adam memories ( tough shoes to fill and stay by Alex was good, but adam did it so much better ( or was it the voice? Confused, someone did stay lol
9:38 totally agree about Jennifer . Seems the most exciting part of the show is what outfit she had on.
If the show continues, I think Adam would be on again. This year just isn't a right fit and he's too busy. He did spend 2 full days there as a mentor. He's not the type to feel he's too good to be on.there again.
Right now he has this golden opportunity to front IMO the greatest rock band there ever was. This is massive, and a huge commitment, and he's also working on new music.
So lame of Idol to bring back KISS, lack of imagination and bad planning!
I'm over the moon happy Adam is not singing any duets, he's done that, he's shown his unsurpassed professionalism doing duets and done his share of supporting and letting other people shine (from theater world to this day, remember pre Idol things, Idol group songs, duets with Allison, Angie, that totally talented young Chinese guy, Nate (yuk) from fun (?), so it's definitely only ADAM w QUEEN or ADAM SOLO that should get the ROYAL treatment from Idol if he ever graces the stage of Idol again.
Kiss performing...Yawn! A trifle old don't ya think?! Adam blew them out the water 5 years ago!
Remember some animosity from Gene Simmons too....I just can't believe they're bringing AI back next year after such poor ratings
in 2014. The show show vibe has changed and lost it class.
So, when is this finale. Maybe I'll cook meatloaf, lol.
Well, can't say I'm not disappointed...
for me, because I wanted to see Adam on my tv...and for everyone to see him singing again.
But also for Idol. He is one of Idols biggest success stories, and it would be a full circle moment for them. They could have done a piece on how he auditioned for Idol with a Queen song, performed with them on the finale, to now fronting them on a full North America tour. Queen and Adam is a huge coup for the Idol Brand....
and to the above poster....I agree, I think Shoshanna often comes across quite snotty in her tweets....
ps...
I have been watching Idol this year, its much better than last year, which I think was the worst one yet. I want Jena to win, I have heard her winners single, and I like it, think it will sound great on the radio.
Don't want to see Kiss again, have never been a fan, their act hasn't changed for about 40 years!!! and I haven't forgiven Gene simmonds for his remarks about Adam.
There is definitely too much JLO face time though....
She is British. I get her, because I like british humour. I read that Americans feel that British are snotty towards them. I think it's just misunderstanding, because of the different humour.
@4.12am
I am British, I don't always get American humour, ...but I understand British humour, and I think there have been many times when Shoshanna doesn't come across well in tweets, and snotty is as good a word as any.
I'm 5:42, Thanks to those who agree with me about Shosh. Now I know I'm not crazy. I don't think it's a Brit/American thing. I think it's just her.
I agree about KISS performing on the finale and Gene's negative comments about Adam were uncalled for. They are not new and exciting for Caleb to be performing with them.I guess the producers could not get anyone to come on the show. And I think anyone who saw Adam with them in the season 8 finale, will only remember that performance. JLO constantly being seen as the performers sing is so distracting and I hate it. Focus on the ones on stage, not her. Why not show more of Keith and Harry then? Overall, this season's contestants were not interesting or exciting for me to care about them. I caught the last few shows but did not watch religiously as I did when Adam was on. Adam has more important things to focus on..namely preparing for the Queenbert summer concert tour.
KISS---REALLY. I DISLIKE THEM SO MUCH. THEIR COMMENTS TO ADAM WHEN HE SANG WITH THEM WERE APPALLING. GENE SIMMONS IS A PUKE AS FAR AS I AM CONCERNED. MAYBE THEY WILL BE NICER TO CALEB. WE'LL SEE..
Kiss got more than they bargained for when Adam sang with them. "Beth" was amazing by Adam. They don't have any vocals to match Adams. Caleb is not going to outshine them, Adam did. Gene Simmons is an a&@ hole.
I hope Caleb has platform shoes as high as Kiss so they can't make him look diminutive. They tried to tell Adam he couldn't walk in them.
I like Shoshanna,, and maybe her humor is different, but she is very protective of her clients. Definitely not a blabber mouth .
For Caleb's sake, Adam does not need to be in Idol in the finale, as promoting his Queen gig would be superfluous. To make comparisons between Adam's and Caleb's performances with KISS is unavoidable, and could be unfortunate for Caleb if he doesn't excite enough. I think the Idol executives believed Adam might blow Caleb out of the water. I'll just soothe my not seeing Adam with the "keep 'em wanting more" rationale.
All this poor ratings talk. It's still one of Fox's best rated shows. Why wouldn't they bring it back.
I think it is just overkill with all these talent/singing shows with another one to come tis summer. People are just not that interested in watching them esp. if the contestants are not interesting or exciting with amazing vocals. Idol may be the platform to get the performer's music out there but you need a listening and buying audience to achieve any degree of success. I probably will watch the finale,but for me season 8 with Adam was the best and will be very difficult to match.
8:49 have to agree with you. ai is rated #10 in all of fox's shows. There's no reason to drop it. Ryan Seacrest just signed a two year contract with ai, so we'll just have to see what happens. :)
peeps are going to jump me and say it was a one year contract, but just google it. 2 more years!
Sorry, I have great respect for Adam, but I think that Caleb`s voice for Kiss better than Adama. Kaleb has a wonderful hard voice. Adam beautiful vocals.
I adore Adam and I think it's unreasonable to expect him to perform at EVERY Idol grand finale. That screams of entitlement. He's already been on Idol this year as a mentor. Time to give someone else ago even if it is KISS. I've lost interest in Idol .... same ol' same ol' every year, some years worse than others.
I don't like Caleb's voice at all. To each his/her own.
7:54 I realized that you do not like Caleb. I think correctly, that Adam will not be in the final. Perhaps it is beautiful, if you mix two voices, hard rock and pop-rock, but I think that Adam has more important things to do before the summer concerts. So let Caleb sing with Kiss. Personally I'm waiting for the next performance with Caleb Kiss. I love Adam Lambert, but Caleb also has a brilliant future. He is 23 years old. For America it's very good if returns true rock-n-roll. Sorry that
Sorry, I think that Caleb is a new talent and his voice is just awesome. I watched Adam's performance with Kiss in 2009 and I did not like at all. Adam's voice is not suitable for hard rock. Adam have`s beautiful vocals. I think Caleb's performance with Kiss will be very interesting. We'll see!
This is Adam Lambert fan site and every thread should end with the wird Adam!
(- somebody here wrote this a long time ago and I totally agree!)
#1 = ADAM!
If this stream of Adam, why do you constantly compare it with Caleb? Is this true? Adam coming to Idol with more experience, but he has a beautiful voice. But today Caleb have a new voice in the world music show. And do not deny it.
Please take your Caleb admiration to Idol fan site or seek for Caleb's own fan site, thank you!
Here rules only ADAM!
Very sorryб and еhank you too. In the end I want to add that Adam is not invited on Idol just for Caleb. This stupid prejudices fans. I thought he was doing it for the sake of his career and his fans . But now I think , as a former fan of Adam, that Caleb work better without Adam. Caleb's voice amazing today and new . On Idol 2009 Adam sang with Kiss and it was not a good idea. Adam's voice was lost then. When everyone starts to constantly compare Adam with new Idol contestants , it guards me and looks good in relation to Adam Lambert ? I am very happy that Adam sings with Quinn .
ADAM!!!!!!!!!
ADAM IS NO. ONE IN MY BOOK AS THE BEST ONE IN A BILLION VOICE. HE GRADUATED FROM AI AND ADVANCED TO MUCH BETTER OPPORTUNITIES.
ONCE ONE GRADUATES FROM COLLEGE AND ACHIEVES MANY THINGS AFTER COLLEGE, THEY ARE KNOWN MOSTLY FOR THEIR ACHIEVEMENTS AFTER COLLEGE.
FIVE YEARS OF ASSOCIATION WITH AI IS ENOUGH OF SUCCESS FOR ADAM TO MOVE AHEAD WITH GREATER ACHIEVEMENTS IN HIS CAREER PATH.
XaXaXa!!!!!!!
