After Tuesday's performance show, we asked most of season 9's Top 9 (Tim Urban eluded the question somehow) for their favorite Adam Lambert moment, be it from last year's "American Idol," his career since or their Vegas experience with the season 8 runner-up as their mentor. Read on for some major Adam adoration...

Siobhan Magnus: "Just meeting him was incredible; his presence is really big and he's just so positive and genuinely kind. He said he would figuratively be throwing glitter at me, and I felt it up there."

Lee DeWyze: "Last season, he was amazing. There's too many [performances] to pick, but when he was mentoring us, he was really honest, which is really good for me. He told me exactly what he thought about my song, and what he thought I should do with it. It was really cool for me to hear him be that honest."

Crystal Bowersox
: "Having Adam tell me that he wouldn't change anything about the song, that was really, really cool coming from someone who's a great entertainer, and then we talked about lighting and presentation. I got some good info out of him."

Katie Stevens: "I loved when Adam sang 'Feeling Good' last year. That was one of my favorite songs. He came down the stairs and all cool, and with the light in the background and it got bigger and he did his whole riffing crazy ridiculous chops thing. Having him as a mentor was just incredible, because he knows what we're going through, so he's able to give us the best feedback."

Casey James: "He was a great mentor, he had a good vibe. Immediately when I met him, he had a good energy, I was comfortable, I didn't feel awkward singing him the song, and then when he gave me the feedback, it was actually really hands-on constructive feedback. It was really great."

Andrew Garcia: "My favorite is when he mentored me; he knows what we went through, because he's been through the same thing. He's really on our level. When he was a contestant, he was never scared, he had all this confidence. He's a really cool guy."

Aaron Kelly
: "Adam Lambert is such a great performer. Last year, on every single performance, he was consistent. And having him as a mentor was really cool because he's been through this before, and he pretty much knows what's right and wrong, what we should do. I mean, he's got the experience."

Michael Lynch: "My favorite Adam Lambert moment is hearing about his reputation from the crew and from our handlers. He was always prepared, a super good kid; he's just one of the people they talk the highest about. To me, that's something that's important. I always want my reputation with the people I work with to be good, and to see that about him, that he's one of the people they talk about out of all the seasons, that's my favorite thing about him."

i think because of tim urban religion, he did not comment about adam or maybe he doesn't know what to say, he doesn't look like a smart kids, he either smile or laugh>

Mike says exactly what we were all feeling about him last year that he is Authentically a walking, talking,singing,talented,adorable, sweet-Heart!

Yes, Mike words were the most complimentary of all, in my opinion, and not surprised to hear that everyone at Idol talk about and make references to him from last year. I had that sense during last season from all the reading that I had done that everyone (with and outside the production) was genuinely impressed with Adam as a talent and a person. So Kudos!

Please vote for Adam on the Time poll. Tell everyone! Here's how:

I don't twitter, but am voting like crazy. Please tell everybody you know!

IMPORTANT. Open it 3 times and scrunch them down. Wait until the circle pops up at 50% on the slide bar, slide the bar to 100%, type in the little words, click submit, refresh. Go to the second window, do the same, go to the third window, do the same.

It takes a long time to refresh, so with 3 windows open, voting in rotation, by the time you get back to the first window, it's refreshed and ready to go, etc., etc.

Hmmm...Tim Urban didn't comment. What a surprise. "Political" differences I suppose?? Or is he "programmed"only to smile mindlessly and not hold a thought? Lol

I would like to give Tim the benefit of the doubt. Sometimes there is just so much going on that it isn't possible to be available. He tweeted the other day about enjoying the mentoring session with Adam. All's good.

Tim did compliment and thank Adam the day before or after the mentoring.Maybe he just can't think that fast on his feet like Adam.haha.This was so great to hear how respected and liked Adam is.He always turned and acknowleged the band after every performance.He's such a pro and class act. He really mentored well and gave these kids sound advice.He's beautiful and talented, but his biggest appeal is his giving,friendly,kind personality. Every day something more to love about him.Love the tour name. It's so Adam! funnbunn40

What religion is Tim?

awww i LOVE big mikes comment!! the best out of all of them. he sums up why we all love adam

Why do three posters above me want to throw Tim's religion into this discussion? Do you know that many gays are religious and attend services regularly? Maybe Tim was eating or in the bathroom or getting his hair cut for last night's show. I noticed it was shorter, did you? Go search the web if you need to know what church he attends if it is that important to you. Let's keep this site positive by following in Adam's footsteps and not jumping to negative conclusions.

yes i agree, maybe tim urban did not think as fast as the others or he was not available so the writer considered it as an elusion. sad, he was MISSING IN ACTION!
