*** Check out the tweet from David Wild (below) because it MIGHT contain a hint that Adam will be also performing "Careless Whisper" – so perhaps it will be a medley? Q3
Here is the song that we know Adam will perform.
George Michael - Faith (US Version)
youtu.be/lu3VTngm1F0
Faith
George Michael
Well I guess it would be nice
If I could touch your body
I know not everybody
Has got a body like you
But I've got to think twice
Before I give my heart away
And I know all the games you play
Because I play them too
Oh but I
Need some time off from that emotion
Time to pick my heart up off the floor
And when that love comes down
Without devotion
Well it takes a strong man baby
But I'm showing you the door
'Cause I gotta have faith...
Baby
I know you're asking me to stay
Say please, please, please, don't go away
You say I'm giving you the blues
Maybe
You mean every word you say
Can't help but think of yesterday
And another who tied me down to lover boy rules
Before this river
Becomes an ocean
Before you throw my heart back on the floor
Oh baby I reconsider
My foolish notion
Well I need someone to hold me
But I'll wait for something more
Yes I've gotta have faith...
This is the song that David Wild seems to hint MIGHT be performed. Fingers crossed!!
George Michael - Careless Whisper (Official Video)
youtu.be/izGwDsrQ1eQ
Careless Whisper
George Michael
I feel so unsure
As I take your hand and lead you to the dance floor
As the music dies, something in your eyes
Calls to mind the silver screen
And all its sad good-byes
I'm never gonna dance again
Guilty feet have got no rhythm
Though it's easy to pretend
I know your not a fool
Should've known better than to cheat a friend
And waste the chance that I've been given
So I'm never gonna dance again
The way I danced with you
Time can never mend
The careless whispers of a good friend
To the heart and mind
Ignorance is kind
There's no comfort in the truth
Pain is all you'll find
I'm never gonna dance again
Guilty feet have got no rhythm
Though it's easy to pretend
I know your not a fool
I should've known better than to cheat a friend
And waste the chance that I've been given
So I'm never gonna dance again
The way I danced with you
Never without your love
Tonight the music seems so loud
I wish that we could lose this crowd
Maybe it's better this way
We'd hurt each other with the things we'd want to say
We could have been so good together
We could have lived this dance forever
But no one's gonna dance with me
Please stay
And I'm never gonna dance again
Guilty feet have got no rhythm
Though it's easy to pretend
I know your not a fool
Should've known better than to cheat a friend
And waste the chance that I've been given
So I'm never gonna dance again
The way I danced with you
Now that you're gone
(Now that you're gone) What I did's so wrong, so wrong
That you had to leave me alone

Rehearsing now for @greatesthitsabc & singing his heart out, @adamlambert. See for yourself tomorrow!#GreatestHits
Q3 comment: “Careless Twitter” in the following tweet is an odd phrase and Careless has an initial cap. Plus, the tweet includes a reference to Wham!. Is this a hint that Adam is performing "Careless Whisper"? “Careless Whisper” was George Michael’s first solo single (1984) single but, since it was released while he was still part of Wham!, it is sometimes credited to "Wham! featuring George Michael". It reached number one in nearly 25 countries, selling about six million copies worldwide. It is certified Platinum by the RIAA (US).

Hot Patootie! Here's @adamlambert as Eddie in the upcoming 'Rocky Horror' remake: idola.to/2avC1rM
And Here’s Adam Lambert As Eddie In The ‘Rocky Horror’ Remake
Feast your eyes on Adam Lambert as Eddie in the upcoming remake of The Rocky Horror Picture Show (above and below). The 34-year-old tackles the role originally played by Meat Loaf, but his look owes more to Elvis Presley than the Bat Out Of Hell rocker. Well, at least hair-wise. (I don’t remember The King ever wearing a studded dog collar). Regardless, it’s a look and will, no doubt, ramp up excitement for the camp extravaganza, which screens on Fox on October 20.
Interestingly, the “Ghost Town” hitmaker was originally asked to play Dr. Frank-N-Furter, but he turned the role down. “I kind of felt like in 2016, to be cis and playing the role of a trans character, it felt inappropriate to me,” Adam told us in March. “In the ’70s, it was different. But nowadays we have such an amazing conversation that’s started about trans and gender in this world. I think casting Laverne [Cox] was so brilliant. It’s so appropriate, you know what I mean?” See him in character below.

‘Rocky Horror’ To World Premiere At Mipcom
Fox’s two-hour TV movie The Rocky Horror Picture Show has been set for a world premiere screening at Mipcom in October.

It then debuts October 20 on Fox. The special features Laverne Cox as Dr Frank-N-Furter; Victoria Justice as Janet, Ryan McCartan as Brad and Adam Lambert as Eddie. Tim Curry, the original Frank-N-Furter, is back as the show’s criminologist narrator. The cast also includes Annaleigh Ashford, Reeve Carney and Staz Nair. The Rocky Horror Picture Show is produced by Fox 21 Television Studios and The Jackal Group. Lou Adler, Gail Berman and Kenny Ortega are exec producers. Ortega also directs and acts as choreographer. The original film was released in 1975 and still runs in theaters today. Mipcom runs October 17-20.

The 34-year-old singer is in full Elvis Presley mode in the photo shared on Instagram -- if Elvis ever wore a dog collar and sported tattoos.
