Adam Lambert 24/7 News

Olympic figure-skater Johnny Weir was in rare form at the Independent Spirit Awards on Friday night, where he manned the microphone on both sides of the aisle -- as Sundance Channel interviewer speaking to the likes of Adrien Brody, Emmy Rossum and Laura Dern, and interviewee, encouraged to talk to ordinary folk like yours truly.

Of course, the conversation had to turn to Adam Lambert at some point in the night. After all, it was only a couple weeks ago that we asked the "American Idol" runner-up what he thought of the ice skating phenom.

"I think Adam is an amazing performer," said Johnny, who also revealed that he watched "Idol" last season and "had a hard time picking between Adam and Kris [Allen]." But by the end of the competition, Johnny noted, he was a faithful "Adam fan."

Furthering the love fest, Johnny added that he appreciated Adam describing him as a "trailblazer" in a recent interview. "I loved that," he said. "He respects me, and I definitely respect him." But as far as the comparisons between the two, Johnny had this to offer: "We both have dark hair and are over-the-top, I think that's where the similarities end."

Actually, you could also make a case for their mutual admiration of Lady Gaga, which Adam brought up last time we spoke to him. That prompted us to wonder: Would Johnny ever consider skating to Adam's music? "I'd love to do that," he said. "Maybe next, I'll throw on some dark black eyeliner and pull an Adam Lambert." Still, he was hard-pressed to come up with a song title. "The one that's on the radio all the time," he said, laughing.

We surmise that he meant "For Your Entertainment," and, sentiment-wise, it's a perfect fit, but what do you think? If Johnny Weir were to skate to an Adam Lambert song, which would you vote for?
