FLASHBACK: Adam Lambert at Mnet Asian Music Awards (MAMA) 2012 — Rehearsal & Performance

Adam Lambert fan and frequent YouTube poster scorpiobert today posted a video of Adam's rehearsal for the 2012 MAMA, the Mnet Asian Music Awards, in Hong Kong.  For whatever reason she decided to post it, we decided to honor it by posting both the video of the rehearsal and subsequent video of the performance, the latter having been posted in 2018 by Trespasser.  It is always great to look back at what Adam has done over the past decade of his career and these videos show Adam in his process, in his element.

Oh my! At what age WASN"T he a COMPLETE PACKAGE? Even a sleepy-eyed rehearsal session cannot deny that genius voice and stage presence! And the actual performance....well!!!!

Love these two videos....I remember them well....thanks for the memories.

P.S. Adam's wearing one of his "spikey" outfits here. I often wonder if he's ever injured himself...or any one else...while wearing them.

Just checked out some iTunes listings & I was pleasantly surprised to see ADAM's Believe at #10 in the UK!! Unfortunately he seems to have dropped to #7 here in the US but was at #3 on the Top 100 New Songs!! Very interesting & informative!!

I remember this video of ADAM in Hong Kong but one thing has me hugely (not bigly) confused ... What was the reason for those HUGE wigs worn by the two dancers & the keyboardist & the drummer?? Please don't hate me but I thought they looked silly for want of a better word!! I noticed that ADAM, Tommy & Ashley didn't have one on!! Curious!!

Hey, Glamberts, you want a FLASHBACK??? Try this one on for size. Whenever I need an Adam pick-me-up, believe me, I go straight to Adam's Dragon Attack with QUEEN in London. This is truly one for the Rock and Roll archives. Whew, help me breathe after this performance! Jean Renard

Nanbert said...

Thanks for the flashback, Jean Renard.....The ELMO jacket incident! One of my favorite videos! I especially loved Brian extending his arm to Adam....and the two of them sashshaying off stage arm in arm....such fun! Once seen, who can ever forget that! With Adam gyrating in those black leather pants!!! I THINK they're the same ones he split later on that same stage...another memorable moment!

Neil Fairclough was superb in this episode....he played a longer and very intricate solo here. I would love to see them elongate this episode for him at all the concerts. It was unique.

Nanbert said...

ANOTHER PRICELESS FLASHBACK! Adam splits his pants while performing...get this!..."I Want To Break Free"... at the Hammersmith (night two) in 2012....barefooted! This should also be in the archives of every Glambert, new or old!

What an irrepressible, delightful, bright spirit! He's having such fun! I just want to HUG HIM!
Enjoy!

Nanbert said...

Thanks MiReLa...I agree....what a gorgeous man! That smile...only rivaled by that voice!

But that coat is teal, not green!

I just came from Playmobil: The Movie. It was fun and funny. I enjoyed it a lot. More of Maximus than I expected (yay). I loved the very last scene with the guard. Can't say why. You have to go see for yourself. I hope no one else gives it away.

Sunflower said...

Jean Renard... I followed your orders, lol. And watched Dragon Attack. Boy what a turn on, giving me naughty thoughts! Thanks for recommending it!

Lambert Outlaw...I know numbers for "Believe" keep changing but our goal is it to be # 1!

Thanks Mi Re La for all the links on Adam, I have been voting too.

Nambert...I also checked out your video too where Adam rips his pants! Hahaha. His reaction was just the cutest,

Patria...glad you got to see it, I went to the theater yesterday with a "non Glambert", so I missed out on seeing it and saw the Mr. Rogers movie. Nice movie and Tom Hanks was great.

Dee R Gee said...

Very cool seeing Adam with fans! It's fun to know that people all over the world love him.

I also just saw the Playmobil movie this afternoon. I LOVED Adam's role and he appeared in several section of the movie, not just one. His character is very evil and entertaining. Lots going on! The movie was full of crazy chases and frenetic adventures. Some clever humor, too.

So glad I saw it and supported Adam. I know the movie is not doing so well at the box office. That's show biz.

Me again, Before my dinner ( I have early dinners) I was scrolling down on my Twitter news feed, had to go all the way down to catch up and saw a post by Shoshanna (Adams Pub.) where a fan posted about Adam being from another world, how amazing he is and how he can sing anything and make it sound awesome and she can't wait to see him and that he deserves everything he gets. Well CHER yes THE Cher posted ; I'd love ( the word love was a red heart and not the word) to see him too! Omg, Cher has a chance to see Adam I at one of his upcoming appearances ( even if shows are sold out, she's a legend and can find a place for her) or maybe with Queen but I know Cher is on tour so who knows, she just left Chicago some days ago but it would be awesome if Adam and Cher did a duet together, would be epic!

One more thing, also read in my feed Brian May will be making a surprise announcement at 12:01 midnight on his Instagram. He posted a video of the QAL stage but told us NOT to press the button until 12:01 midnight tonight, for us to wait until then. Another happy surprise for us? It's almost midnight in London so we'll see.

Announce 5 Additional UK Shows! 👑
Following phenomenal demand for tickets, a further 5 shows added to the “Rhapsody” tour at London’s O2 Arena! Tickets avail. from 11th Dec
@10am
GMT: https://ticketmaster.co.uk/Queen

Sunflower said...

Yes it's true QAL added more dates! That was Brian's surprise! :)

Nanbert said...

What?!!!! Just rechecked their schedule, and as I remembered, they already have five shows scheduled at the O2! Wow! Don't know where they'll put them....the current shows are on June 2,3,5, 6 and 9....preceeded by the Ziggo Dome on May 30 ...and followed by Manchester on June 11. Jamming 5 shows into that schedule will require Adam to sing EVERY day for two weeks!, without any vocal rest!!!!

Unless..... maybe they intend to return BACK to the O2 at the end of their tour...after performing their July 1st final performance in Copenhagen.

Goodness! They are certainly in demand! That's good, of course, but they will certainly be wrung out!

Nanbert said...

Just checked....O2 arena has a capacity of 20,000. At the rate of 10 shows, that means QAL will play to 200,000 people just in London! Sounds as though....in "Freddie country"... many Freddie die-hards are coming around to Adam! And, of course, many, many younger ones will have had all their Queen memories dominated by Adam, because he will be the FIRST LIVE PERFORMER of Queen's music they will see and hear. Great for Adam!

Patria said...

Adam's gonna have to get the audience to do more of the singing so he can rest while they sing.

Also there's that 'if Brian and Roger can do it, so can Adam' thing. I assume they all talk about this before they schedule. Just thinking out loud here.

Nanbert said...

One problem there, Patria. When a guitar string or a drum breaks, you just replace it with a new one. But vocal cords don't work on the same principle!

But, like you, I'm sure they talk about this among themselves. Brian and Roger are well aware of the problems of vocal fatigue, because Freddie had a lot of problems with it, and they are blessed with Adam's cast iron vocal cords. But Adam is a knowledgeable and sensible caretaker of his voice, and won't jeopardize it....nor will they.

My guess is that they will pick up the other five concerts at the O2 at the end of their tour, since they will be returning to London again anyway.

Long live Queen and Adam Lambert!

Patria said...

Agree Nanbert, there's no back up for Adam.

New dates according to Ticketmaster
The extra shows will take place on 08, 17, 18, 20 & 21 of June.

Old dates include London 02 on June 03, 05, 06, 09. Manchester June 11 and 12. Berlin Germany on June 24 ....
They are wedging them in there.

Patria said...

I left out June 02 on the older dates.

Jean Renard said...

Hey, @Nanbert, thanks for the flashback of Adam's "I ripped-my-pants" incident. My goodness, I hate to admit this but, I even know which black leather pants he ripped in London. They were the black leather pants he had made for his first solo tour, Glam Nation, in 2010. These particular pants were plain with slight bell-bottoms but, and may I state BUT again, they had the incredible leather pouched-laced-up crotch front which was rather hard for your eyes not to wander to. I can tell you for sure because I sat right up front in Phoenix, Arizona for that Glam Nation concert. By the time he finished the Glam Nation Tour, the pants had really stretched out in the buttocks area and when the tour was over, he had the pants repaired and tightened by a tailor. Then he ripped them in London but, he had them repaired again...........Now, when I went to Las Vegas to the QAL tour in 2014, I stayed at the Hard Rock Hotel and, in the lobby, they displayed big glass cases which housed famous outfits worn through the years by Rock-and-Roll gods and goddesses. I went to the front desk and told them that they should try to get Adam Lambert's famous black leather pants from the London QAL concert. They thought it was a great idea but, I don't think it ever came to fruition (even though Adam did donate his famous wings that he wore during American Idol's BETH cover). Adam sure loved those pouched-crotch-laced-up pants and, I will say that they were truly amazing with the long black coat when he sang SLEEPWALKER during Glam Nation! However, the DRAGON ATTACK shiny black leather pants were even more breathtaking because they so beautifully fit his slim long-legged body. OK, I am done with this bit of naughty Adam trivia and, you can call me sick for knowing these crazy details but, I can't help myself. Jean Renard

Patria said...

Jean, sometimes you just gotta say what you need to say. ^_^

Nanbert said...

Jean...yep, you're right. I revisited that video, and although Adam's shirt and jacket are long enough to pretty well cover the laced up placket in front, if you look hard you can see just a tiny bit of it.

Who can forget those leather pants from the
Glamation tour?....the lacing was so distracting. And, it almost seemed that the rest of his outfits were designed to bring one's eye back again and again to those pesky laces! Especially the long black coat from Sleepwalker (I remember, too) which "showcased" that "laced" location. Accident?...or on purpose?

Well, Adam has GREAT legs....and when they're dressed in tight shiny black leather....Oh my! That "Elmo" Dragon Dance in them was for the history books....cute, funny, outlandishly weird, even sexy!
