The WILD idol : As GAY as it GET


Adam’s sexual orientation has been subject of gossip since the first photos of him dressed in drag and kissing a guy came out on the internet; but he always refused to comment. Kara DioGuardi claims Adam’s sexuality was never a secret:

“I don’t think that Adam was ever in [the closet]. I think he was always openly out.”

There’s certainly been a huge response to Rolling Stone's new issue featuring American Idol breakout star Adam Lambert; says he's gay (duhhhh?????), as the "American Idol" runner-up acknowledges Hollywood's worst-kept secret -- and then dishes about how attracted he was to his roommate on the show, Kris Allen!!!! I think it shouldn't be a surprise to anyone that he's gay, which prompted Kris Allen to say -- according to People magazine:

"I think he's happier that he can be himself and it's nice. Adam is who he is and he's not afraid. I support him in whatever he does."

In the Adam had this to say about when he found out Kris was going to be his roommate on Idol:

“I was like, oooh, (bleep), they put me with the cute guy. Distracting!!!! He’s the one guy that I found attractive in the whole group on the show: nice, nonchalant, pretty and totally my type — except that he has a wife. I mean, he’s open-minded and liberal, but he’s definitely 100 percent straight."

Ha! Imagine the scandal if something had happened between Adam and Kris, it'd have brought down the show!
Adam's proud of his sexuality and also how he deliberately didn't talk about it, because he worried it was going to overshadow his singing.


“I’m an entertainer, and who I am and what I do in my personal life is a separate thing,” he says. “It shouldn’t matter. Except it does. It’s really confusing.”

Adam is really open in the interview; he's vulnerable and honest, which are two traits you don't usually get with Hollywood stars. Pretty much all of the questions will be answered; including his reaction after he has been photographed recently holding hands with his boyfriend, Drake LaBry. Drake is kind of hot. Or at least, he'd be totally sexy in that pulp cowboy way and the boots are great!Adam Lambert was spotted with his boyfriend, interior designer Drake LaBry, 24, as they exited from the Guys and Dolls nightclub in West Hollywood.


So literally, Adam saying his sexuality shouldnt matter to anyone, he just wanna sing...

Sing Glambert!

No Boundaries lyrics

Seconds hours so many days
You know what you want but how long can you wait
Every moment last forever if you feel you’ve lost your way
What if your chances are already gone
Started believing that I could be wrong
But you give me one good reasonto fight and never walk away

Coz hear I am - still holding on!

Every step you climb another mountain
Every breathe its harder to believe
You’ll make it through the pain (or through all your aches and pains)

Weather the hurricane
To get to that one thing
When you think the road is going nowhere

Just when you’ve almost gave up on your dreams
Then take it by the hand and show you that you can

There are no boundaries x2

I fought to the end to stand on the edge
What if today is as good it gets
Don’t know where the future’s headed
Nothings gonna bring me down
I’ve jumped every bridge and I’ve run every line

I’ve risked being saved but I always knew why
I always knew why
So hear I am still holding on


Every step you climb another mountain
Every breathe its harder to believe
You’ll make it through the pain

Weather the hurricane
To get to that one thing
When you think the road is going nowhere

Just when you’ve almost gave up on your dreams
Then take it by the hand and show you that you can

You can go higher
You can go deeper
There are no boundaries
Above and beneath you
Break every rule coz there’s nothing between you
and your dreams

Every step you climb another mountain
Every breathe its harder to believe
Yeah…

There are no boundaries
Every step you climb another mountain
Every breathe its harder to believe
You’ll make it through the pain
Weather the hurricane
There are no boundaries x3

The Final Three : American Idols (Part 6)

Down to three. Kris, Adam and Danny.
Lambert's cover of U2's "One" sounds pretty good in the studio. It's just subdued all over and I can enjoy it (kind of) while noticing the lack of the staple scream notes.

download here: Cryin' by Adam Lambert (studio version)

For Kris Allen, there just seems to be too much production on this track and it totally takes away from what made Kris' live performance so briliant. I'm glad that he's gonna be in the finale next week! The OneRepublic cover comes across pretty good though I think it's pretty much a copycat cover of the song. But it's still good to listen to it.

download here: Apologize by Kris Allen (studio version)

Danny Gokey is GONE! Well, what a shame. Watching his encore performance of "You Are So Beautiful" I realized that he sang that song pretty damn good. Unluckily, we have to wave goodbye to Gokey.

American Idols Part 5 : The Bottom 3 frm the Rat-Pack (Jazz Week)

The Rat Pack era is generally recognized as the mid 1960s, while this week's music was popularized from the '20s to the '50s. To quote the Fox press release, "Standards made famous by members of the original Rat Pack, a group of legendary performers that included Frank Sinatra, Dean Martin and Sammy Davis Jr."
JAZZ WEEK was the best show ever!!! I had a goosebumps the entire show. Everyone did a pretty good job. But unluckily, Matt Giraud had to leave.

BLACK or WHITE?


I took my baby on a Saturday bang. Boy is that girl with you, yes we're one and the same. Now I believe in miracles, and a miracle has happened tonight. But, if you're thinkin about my baby, it doesn't matter if youre Black or White.
They print my message in the Saturday Sun. I had to tell them I ain't second to none. And I told about equality and its true either you're wrong or you're right. But, if you're thinkin about my baby, it doesn't matter if you' re Black or White.
I am tired of this devil! I am tired of this stuff! I am tired of this business! Sew when the going gets rough. I ain't scared of your brother. I aint scared of no sheets. I aint scare of nobody boy when the goin gets mean......
Protection! For gangs, clubs and nations. Causing grief in human relations. Its a turf war on a global scale. I'd rather hear both sides of the tale. See, its not about races. Just places. Faces. Where your blood comes from. Is where your space is. I've seen the bright get duller. Im not going to spend my life being a color.
Dont tell me you agree with me. When I saw you kicking dirt in my eye. But, if you're thinkin about my baby. It doesn't matter if you're Black or White.
I said if you' re thinkin of being my baby. It doesn't matter if you're Black or White.
I said if you're thinkin of being my brother. It doesn't matter if you' re Black or White.
Ooh yeah...its Black, its White.
Its tough for me to get by.
It's Black or White?
It's Black, it's White. Its tough for me to get by.
It's Black , it's White.
Finally after a long wait.....my baby!

American Idols Part 4 : Disco Night

Despite straying away from the disco dancing vibe, Allen and Lambert definitely wowed the crowd and had the best performances for the night. Unlike the other contestants, Disco Night was saved–in the most un-disco way possible. Kris Allen stole the night with his rendition of Donna Summer’s working women’s anthem She Works Hard For The Money by bringing a hip spin to it (thus, received a huge standing ovation from the AI audience and Kara DioGuardi’s artistrty stamp of approval), while Adam stayed true to his uptempo-downtempo pattern by going downtempo on disco week with Yvonne Elliman’s If I Can’t Have You and bringing Paula Abdul to tears.

American Idols Part 3: JT Wannabe

Every seasons American Idols will elevate at least one rival to enter the realm of Justin Timberlake-ish and this year from what i can catch a glimpse of, its Matt Giraud!
He performs Stevie Wonder’s “Part-Time Lover" and contemporarily changed the arrangement.
His incredible lower register with the very Justin Timberlake-ish falsetto and alto range,
I LOVE this performance!!

Part-time Lover (Studio Version)

This also reminds me of another American Idol cast off from season 6, the ultimate JT wannabe,
Chris Richardson. Here is the my favorite number from his album- All Alone
The song is very Justin Timberlake-ish, very pop/ r & b.

American Idols Part 2

Kris Allen (oh boy!); newly wedded guy who swoon us with his sweet incredible voice. He’s musically talented and believe me he is not just pretty face. However, he’s no extraordinary but he got his moment and he definitely got a pimp spot! This Top 9 contestant was given the liberty to pick any song as long as it’s a popular download on iTunes. Kris Allen likes taking old songs and making them contemporary. Accompanied by a string section, he sang “Ain’t No Sunshine” by Bill Withers (OST Notting Hill), ditching the guitar for the keyboards. I have to admit that he delivered this time. The song came across emotional and moving. This was definitely his best performance of the season.

As Kara pointed it out : “That is artistry!”

and not to forget the original number by Bill Wither - "Ain't No Sunshine" from OST Notting Hill

Lust in MUSIC - American Idols Part 1

Moving away from overly sentimental subject; 2009 brings sunshine; ALIVE! No matter how messy things got, I managed to pull myself together. It’s been a long time coming but I knew once I did it, I’d do it in style. But before i plunge deeper into obscure; incomprehensible terrain, lets chill with some tunes shall we? Urban cliché says MUSIC feeds your soul. So it does! Lets embark on the phenomenal AMERICAN IDOLS which has been running for 8th consecutive years. It always been my favorite shows; PERIOD! This seasons lining up quite an outstanding and brilliant individuals - Adam Lambert, Megan Joy, Danny Gokey and Kris Allen; to name a few. Megan is always been my favorite. She's remarkably talented and truly truly truly outrageous. Nevertheless, she had it coming. The single mom from Utah with the voice of a 1930's jazz singer wasn't meant for American Idols. Despite all the superfluous nonsense that American Idols comes with every season, in the end, as the judges are prone to remind us, it is a singing competition. And, based on pure singing ability, Megan Joy was completely out of her league. But, and this is where Idol deserves credit, they saw something in Megan. She was different, she was unique, and they took a flier on that untapped talent. Ultimately, it didn't work out (and some call it an utter disaster), but at least it was worth a try. Still....... LOVE HER! For Megan fans out there, here some of my favorites song of hers i'd like to share. Feel free to download to your iPod.
FYI, I am iTunes friendly :)
