VIA HCLU @hcluless:

(The talk show host 王自建 ‘Wang’ was talking about what is ‘in’ and what is ‘out’ in his monologue and skits before introducing Adam. The hostess and interpreter 陳璇 ‘Chen’ later came out also as co-interviewer. Unfortunately the interview was edited so the interpretation part got cut out, along with some of the interview.) I think the fan videos @glam-alidol posted have the whole interview and there’s a sound cloud too.)

Wang: As a superstar I seldom took pictures with other stars, because that is so OUT! But there is such a person that I not only took pictures with him but also followed him around the globe and went to every one of his concerts. Why? Because I want revenge! Because he promised something that he didn’t fulfill! So I invited this person back to our show. He is my old friend, the American Superstar, rock ‘n roll superstar: ADAM LAMBERT!

[Adam came out and performed Pop That Lock] Xie xie! Thank you!

Wang: ADAAAAAAAAAMMMMM! Nice to see you again!
Adam: I like your jacket! Style!
Wang: Again?
Adam: Such good style!
Wang: Yeah?
Adam: Yeah!
Wang: Every time he saw me he said he liked my jacket. And diamond.
Adam: And the feather duster here. We can clean the set with that you know?
Wang (turned to Chen for interpretation): What did he say?
Chen: You are better off not knowing. (turned to Adan) right? (to Wang) Let it go.
Wang: OK. Welcome Adam again to Tonight Post 80’s Talk Show!
Wang: Honestly, this show is being very nice to you fans, right?
Audience: Yeahhhhhh!
Wang: And we are very nice to Adam, right?
Audience: Yeahhhh!
Wang: Tell him to be thankful of our show.
Chen: He is saying we’ve been very good to you and your fans here. So do you want to show your appreciation? Just a little bit?
Adam: I LOVE YOU GUYS!
Audience cheered and screamed.
Adam: Thank you so much for being here. That was fun!
Wang: As we all knew, and you all witnessed it; we gave Adam a Chinese jacket, a rock ‘n roll styled Chinese jacket, last time you were on the show. Right? And you said you like it very much.
Adam: I DID like it. Yeah, I still do.
Wang: Really?
Adam: Yeah!
Chen: Yeah, he said he like it always.
Wang: Do you know for the 6 months since then, I always want to see if you ever wear it. So I followed you around the globe and attended ALL your concerts.
Adam: Oh, no no no. It’s such a nice gift I want to save it and keep it, you know…
Chen: You see? I knew it! He is clever!
Adam: It’s hanging on my wall. You know?
Chen: Yes, gifts should be cherished and well-kept. Shouldn’t wear it.
Wang: Let’s look at my evidence. Watch the big screen!
Chen: The big screen. (pointing)
[showed pictures of Adam in concert in Australia, South Africa and US Diva show with Wang photoshopped in.]
Adam: There you are! You looked great in them. I like how you wear the same jacket. It’s good, it’s good.
Wang: Do you see the disappointment on my face? You really wont wear it? Just put it away? That’s so polite!
Adam: You know what? I wear it at home, all the time.
Chen: Ohhhh, he wore it at home. All the time.
Adam: You know what? It’s all I wear, JUST the jacket!
Chen cracked up, Wang speechless.
Wang: I don’t believe you!
Adam: You should believe me!
Chen: I don’t believe it!
Wang: Since Adam said so, I guess we’ll have to let him pass. But, did you found a phenomenon that when our Chinese fans took pictures with you; they like to cuddle you around the waist?
Adam: Yeah yeah, I noticed that. I like to get cuddly with my fans, you know?
Wang: Do you know why?
Adam: Cause they wan to touch me! Right? And I want to touch them!
Audience cheered again.
Wang: It’s because you’re too tall!
Adam pulled Wang over to cuddle while Wang snaked his arm around Adam’s waist.
Adam: See? Isn’t that nice?
Wang: Yes, I like it.
Chen: We used to say stars are regular people too, right? Superstars have their hobby too. We heard that you love shopping?
Adam: Too much.
Chen: Too much?
Adam: Yeah, I like it too much.
Chen: So, how about you only have, say, I don’t know, three hundred dollars? And you only can pick one thing. What would you go for?
Adam: It’s too little. So if I only have three hundred dollars I probably only buy an accessory.
Chen: Accessory.
Wang: What kind of ring can you get for three hundred dollars?
Chen: I think you should give him more money.
Wang: Would you even shop at Chi Pu Road?
Adam: I’ll go to cheap road.
Chen: It’s actually Chi pu in Chinese but I sounds so like cheap.
Wang: Chi Pu, Seven Pu (shop)
Adam: OK.
Wang: Joking aside, today we made a daring decision. We decided to give you another gift! And we will not expect you to bring it to your concerts. You can just keep it well in your home and play with it while you are wearing that Chinese jacket.
Adam: Maybe I will!
Chen: Maybe this time he will bring it with him everywhere!
Wang: No you won’t. OK, let bring out the present.
Adam: (whisper) What is that?
Adam: What is that
Chen: You see what that is?
Adam: Cool!
Wang: You see the shape of this floral arrangement is like a heart.
Chen: I think this gift should be presented to Adam by Wang, on one knee.
Wang: But he is already so tall! On one knee….. So, you want to explain to him or just shock him?
Chen: Up to you.
Audience: Shock him, shock him!
Adam: What do they say? What do we say? What’s going on?
Wang on one knee holding the arrangement up to Adam. Screen split with caption: Wang said: this is my bottom line. This royal concubine can only manage this, ‘Majesty ah ah ah!
Adam: Thank you so, xie xie. This is beautiful! It’s a rock heart.
Wang: Rock heart!
Wang: So today we represent the wishes of all our Chinese fans and wish of the show, and hope you cherish this and your own Rock Heart. Always show the spirit of rock ‘n roll, ok?
Adam: Thank you!
Wang: Thank you Adam Lambert! The Tonight Post 80’s Talk Show will be back after the break!

Check out this great article.

Idol chatter: Would Lambert be an Idol judge? Oh, yes

http://www.utsandiego.com/news/2013/may/22/idol-chatter-lambert-judge/

Maybe it’s just an invalid perception. Or maybe a glance the wrong way. But the American Idol question that begs to be answered: Whatever happened to Adam Lambert?

Oh, yes, he will perform July 2 at the Del Mar Fairgrounds.

Yes, he is working on a new record.

Yes, he performed in last week’s Idol finale with Final 3 contestant Angie Miller.

But since his second-place finish four years ago (and what a joke that was) in Season 8, he has all but disappeared from mainstream Americana music. So where did this enormously talented San Diegan go?

Try around the world. That’s what he said at a news conference last week.

“I’ve been doing a lot, lot of traveling since Idol,” Lambert said. “Now we are working on a new album but I can’t say anything about that. I got in trouble before when I talked about it. I’ve pretty much been around the world. Spent a lot of time in Asia and Scandinavia. I got to play with Queen and that was such an inspiration.

“Queen was awesome. I was flattered and terrified at the same time. I know that no one compares to Freddy Mercury, but they all made me feel so at ease. I had a blast.

“We are still in touch. Brian (May) and Roger (Taylor) email me and we say hello. We left everything open. Who knows, something could happen (between Lambert and Queen) in the future.”

But Lambert is still very aware that it was his Idol journey that launched a successful, albeit limited in the U.S., career. And finishing second still doesn’t seem to bother him.

“When it gets down to the final few … it doesn’t matter who wins. For the final three for sure it’s all about launching your career. See, everyone knows who Kree Harrison is now.

“American Idol is a lot like a boot camp. You are working fast, getting ideas out, learning how to do commercials, learning how to do interviews, working on-stage in front of a big audience, conquering your nerves. The whole Idol experience does a really good job with all of that. It sets you up for a lot.”

The stage is also Lambert’s other love. Is that a career option for him?

“I’m going back to New York in a couple of weeks just to see a couple of friends’ plays. Would I like to work on Broadway? Of course, if the right role came along. It would have to be something edgy, weird and out there.”

After a dozen seasons, Idol seems to be in a state of flux with dwindling ratings and a judges’ panel that wasn’t universally received this year. Would Lambert ever consider being a judge himself?

“I don’t know,” he said, but if they called me … like where do I sign?” he laughed. “It would be really cool to help people to keep their vision focused. You have to realize you have family, judges, producers and the other contestants screwing with your head. It would be inspiring to help get them to reach their dreams.”

And just maybe, as a judge, Lambert could reconnect with the music public back in the U.S.

Can someone tell me what's the deal with this Bridger guy (no idea about last name)? Where did the talks about him being Adam's new bf come from?

Loved Adam on the 80's talk show and singing Pop That Lock sounded great. China certainly does love Adam!

Good for Kid Rock, telling it like it is and keeping it real!!

Did Kid Rock REALLY diss Selena Gomez when he was presenting an award at the 2013 Billboard Music Awards? It sure did seem that way!

In case you missed it, Kid Rock came out on stage, holding a coffee cup looking a bit...intoxicated and not pleased to be there. Then he totally dissed either Chris Brown, Icona Pop or Selena...or maybe all of them!

"Let's give it up for lip-syncing under pre-recorded music!" he said before announcing and giving Macklemore & Ryan Lewis the award for Top Rap Song.

Ouch!

Its time someone spoke up. Half these people cant sing its all about the visuals, which are getting ghastly, very unappealing.I am no prude, so its not that but NM was trashy at the Billboard awards, just awful.

I’d like to visit your weblog more often however lately it seems to be
taking forever to come back up. I visit from work, and our connection there
may be fairly good. Do you think the issue could possibly be in your end?

I must've been under a rock because I haven't read anything about Adam having a new boyfriend? Who is Bridger? Are there photos of him on this blog? I'd better Google him.
