[HD] Adam Lambet - Never Close Our Eyes - American Idol 2012
Gale Whittington @galechester PB Video by @galechester RIP by @idolxfactor1 (w permission): American Idol ADAM LAMBERT NCOE 5-17-12 for... fb.me/1L36AesVo
Adam Lambert, glamazon priestess of neon yellow accents and pompadours, beamed down from Planet Fabulous to inject some much-needed life into this sorry-ass hour of filler. I've been admiring Joshua's stage presence compared to his season 11 cohorts, but "Never Close Our Eyes" reminded me just how talented and lively some of our former idols have been. Adam had the confident yet classy swagger of a current artist in his own right instead of a scared little reality show contestant creeping back onto the big stage. (I felt the same way about Haley Reinhart's return earlier this season and David Cook's last week.) He's very compelling! I was also a big fan of all the androgynous stylemonsters in his band. Was that a girl or a guy behind him with the orange hair and neon yellow polka dot eyebrow? I loved…that person.
Season 8 "American Idol" runner-up Adam Lambert fabulously performed his new Trespassing single "Never Close Our Eyes," resplendent in green neon and silver sharkskin, on "Idol's" top three results show this week--the same show on which one of his favorite Season 11 contestants, Jessica Sanchez, made it to the final two, but another one of his faves, Joshua Ledet, did not. When asked how he felt about this outcome (he'd recently controversially tweeted that he thought Jessica and Joshua "wiped the floor" with the other contestants), Adam revealed that he'd undergone a bit of a change of heart regarding Phillip Phillips.
"I think Phillip has something too. In the last couple weeks, he's really proven himself," said Adam. "I was on the fence earlier, but there have been a few performances of his that have been so sophisticated lately, and just so nuanced and tender, and that takes a lot of skill...I wouldn't have been as diplomatic two or three weeks ago, but at this point, I think they've all earned their spot."
When asked to give advice for both Jessica and Phillip going into next week's finale--a position Adam was in literally exactly three years ago--Adam offered: "You've got to tune out all the outside cooks in the kitchen, because there's a lot of pressure coming from every angle. When you get to the finale, tune out a little bit, and focus on what you love about music, why you're here, why you like singing, and what you've always done."
And what about his prediction for next week's finale? Does Adam think Jessica can win? Adam played coy with his read-between-the-lines answer, replying: "It depends on what kind of music you listen to, musical genres...Although, what's the type of genre that always wins every year? I'm not going to say it, but I'm asking the rhetorical question. Like, what usually wins? So..."
Ha.
Moving on to the subject of his own musical genres, Adam conceded that his sophomore album, Trespassing, is a bit of a stylistic departure from the more straightahead rock he performed during his own "Idol" run, but he pointed out: "It's definitely a little more, like, funk-disco, but there are rock elements on the album. If people aren't hearing that, then they gotta get their ears checked, 'cause it's there! The chorus of 'Cuckoo' is like hair-metal down. 'Trespassing' has a lot of rock energy on it; 'Runnin'' has rock energy. I think genre gets really emphasized sometimes, and that doesn't make a lot of sense to me. If you like the song, you like the song!"
...the Idol audience was treated to a live performance from season eight runner-up Adam Lambert!
Adam's performances are always nothing short of magic and he did not disappoint. Performing his hit single "Never Close Our Eyes" the entire audience was going bananas and had a hard time settling down as the show cut to commercial. We love him!
When we asked Adam what he thought of Joshua's exit he said no one would have been able to predict who would be cut tonight.
"All three of them are such talented singers," he told us. "I was really anyone's race at that point. Joshua is nuts. He can sing circles around a lot of people on the charts right now so he'll be fine, and I think the other two are phenomenal. They are really fun watch, charming and they are both cute!"
Adam Lambert returned to the show that helped launch his amazing career to deliver a new televised performance of his next single, the Bruno Mars-penned electro-ballad "Never Close Our Eyes"...Watch above! Yet again, Adam slayed!! Hot vocals (his range is really impressive), good control, good adlibs, and he simply owned that stage. Bravo!. Last night's American Idol's results show were the last before next week's big finale (Go Jessica!). Back to "Never Close Our Eyes", the song is lifted from Adam's sophomore LP "Trespassing" - released in America this week - which according to HitsDailyDouble's first-day sales reports is en route to top the Billboard Top 200 chart (US) with 70-75k copies sold, beating Adele. Woot! I'm happy for Adam. He's a great talent and deserves only success.
‘American Idol‘ alum Adam Lambert brought his glam fabulosity to the stage on tonight’s (May 17) elimination episode. He performed his new single ‘Never Close Our Eyes’ from his brand new platter ‘Trespassing.’ Oh, Glambert, there are few as stylish as you. And you know what? You always hit the notes, too.
First, the fashion. The loud and proud singer’s earrings matched his bright fluorescent yellow t-shirt, which looked like the clothing equivalent of a highlighter that college students use to mark up textbooks. Even so, he made it look stylin’. Glambs paired the bright yellow shirt (and earrings) with black leather trousers and a shimmery grey blazer. While he has been rocking more tame hair in photo shoots and appearances lately, it was full on Glambert hair tonight. Big, bold, beautiful and blackened!
Now, for the song. He infused it with lots of high-energy wails and exuded some seriously infectious energy while he danced and sang. We admit it. We were grooving on the couch. Lambert has tons and tons of stage presence and loads of star power, which is a combo that many artists want but don’t have. It’s authentic and his music feels good. He was born to get on that stage and entertain and we love his dramatic, flamboyant voice.
Hard to believe he didn’t win his season, which was Season 8. He lost to Kris Allen, for those keeping score at home. But even though he wasn’t an official ‘Idol,’ he still has had a super hot career and he didn’t need that title to get where he is.
Adam Lambert is a big deal vocally (in case you didn't know) and his performance on American Idol last night proved that once more!
American Idol judges Jennifer Lopez, Steven Tyler and Randy Jackson appeared in awe of Adam Lambert as he sung his latest track, Never Close Out Eyes, from his album Trespassing.

Surrounded by 80s style smoke, the singer displayed his impressive range putting Beyonce-style energy into every note.
Adam Lambert's famous hair behaved appropriately staying in place while a few strands flicked down to frame his pretty face.
When the American Idol runner up wasn't stealing our ears with his stellar sound, he was showing us exactly how to pull of the tricky celebrity fashion trend of neon.
He wore a neon yellow t-shirt complete with black wet-look trousers and a grey jacket accessorising with black fingerless leather gloves.
The neon theme was continued as Adam wore matching stud earrings and wearing the colour again on his nails — worked against a claw-like ring.
Fashion aside, Adam added more fun to his set working it with his guitarist and looked like he was having lots of fun!
With a performance like this Ads needn't worry, we'll never close out our eyes!
Attack Of The Show: Jack Black mention of Adam Lambert
Heather @juanitarn76 Recap Jack Black mention of Adam Lambert on #AttackOfTheShow: Tenacious D was on AOTS (on G4 channel) premiering (cont) tl.gd/hf7emf 3:03 AM - 18 May 12 via TwitLonger Beta
Recap Jack Black mention of Adam Lambert on #AttackOfTheShow: Tenacious D was on AOTS (on G4 channel) premiering their new video. Host mentioned that their new album is likely to debut at #1 on the Billboard chart next week. Jack Black (one half of Tenacious D) replied 'I know that it's tight between us & the dude from "American Idol." What's his name?' Kyle (other guy in TD): 'Adam Lambert. [And I think he said 'We're fucked' Then host said 'Adam Lambert' but couldn't hear what he said before that] JB: 'Yeah, Adam Lambert. His record just came out... We were just in NY, doing the Lettermans & the Fallons. [On plane] We were getting into our seats, we're sitting next to each other, as always. And I look over & who's there, it's freakin' Adam Lambert' Host: 'WUT?' "Oooooh"s from "audience." (LOL)
JB: 'I said "What's up, man?" & he said "Yeah, what's up?" & I said, "You just knocked us out of 1st place on the ITunes" & he says, "I know" & I said, "We challenge you to a Rock Off, right now." He said, "Anytime, anywhere." "I said right now!" & he said, "No. Anytime except for right now." But I was freaked out because I realized The D & Adam Lambert are on this plane & it easily could've become like a Big Bopper situation where the plane goes down. The Day The Music Died. Again.
I don't know if the world could ever recover from that crash.' Host: 'I know my heart couldn't.' JB: 'Luckily we landed safely'

Pop music especially of the trashy variety,, has been a woman’s game as of late, but there’s one boy not named Justin who’s planning on infiltrating – and he very well could be successful. Adam Lambert, of American Idol fame, released his second album, Trespassing, on Tuesday and it’s a heavyweight pop record to be reckoned with. It’s just as addictive and exciting as anything our fave girls have been releasing this past year.
Lambert’s new record is unabashedly pop from the first second of the first song to the final moments on the last. Missing are the pop/R&B hits you’ll find on an album by any other male signed to a major label, which provides it with a degree of sonic cohesiveness. There is a slight break almost halfway through the album, however. It slows down to feature a handful of slower, midtempo jams. Thankfully the change is not jarring; it’s almost expected given the strength of Lambert’s vocal prowess. He masterfully exerts perfect control, changing pitch, intonation and volume effortlessly as his voice remains sharp, clear and at the forefront of the music. It’s not often I make note of the talent of those I write about in this column, but Lambert has proved himself the exception.
Lambert worked with major players in the music industry for this record, including the likes of Pharrell (affectionately known as my baby daddy), Cirkut, Dr. Luke, Claude Kelly and Bonnie McKee, as well as enlisting help from some lesser-known pop/rock writers and the result is a tight, sonically flawless and fun record with stirring lyricism.
A lot of these names Lambert worked with have spent the past few years crafting hit records for some of our favorite trashy pop princesses and that influence is not lost on this record. In fact, it’s made apparent on a song like “Cuckoo” – my favorite off the album – which sounds like a mixture of “Blow,” “Last Friday Night,” and “Hold It Against Me” (only because of the dubstep breakdown) and it could have easily been sung by Katy, Ke$ha or Queen B, but Lambert brings his own sound and artistic value to it, transforming it from anything our ladies would have released.
On the whole, the album’s most redeeming quality is perhaps its inability to fall into the trap of dance-pop monotony. From the stomping beats and clapping of the title track, the fresh, youthful summertime sounds of “Naked Love,” the Sam Sparro-assisted “Shady” and the falsetto on the Scissor Sisters-esque “Kickin’ In,” there’s enough variety in sounds waiting to excite and pull you in. The slower songs sound like most other midtempo pop/rock tracks but that’s par for the course. Thankfully, the instrumentation and his incredible voice keep it from becoming a stale moment.
Trespassing hits every mark on the checklist for a standard 2012 pop album and it’s an album I wouldn’t be surprised to hear on the radio or coming from someone’s headphones at Blomquist, but Lambert’s talents really add on an extra layer of substance that make it a breath of fresh air from acts like LMFAO, our beloved Carly Rae and professional song-ruiner Flo Rida. It’s nothing new, groundbreaking or game-changing – this is a trashy pop post after all – but it rightfully asserts Lambert as a pop act to pay attention to – one who’s ready to be on top.
I’m not sure what I was expecting from a new Adam Lambert album. I thought he was interesting on “American Idol”-his nose for theatrics and his powerful voice separated him from the rest of the pack (and only good ol’ Middle American homophobia prevented him from winning the season.) His first post-”Idol” album, For Your Entertainment, was more entertaining than I expected. Adam’s voice proved to be pretty versatile, working it’s way through bombastic ballads, fluttery rockers, and straight ahead pop-rock. I wasn’t super-excited about a follow-up, but Adam’s rep ensured that I’d at least give it a listen, which is more than I can say for…well, just about anyone from the last four seasons of that dang-blasted show.
Well, here we are. After numerous delays, Lambert’s sophomore effort, Trespassing, is officially here. The voice is as full-bodied as it was before (man, how nice is it to hear someone who can sing without computer assistance?) but the music has changed a bit. Adam’s gone full-out dance-pop here, and it actually works to his advantage. It gives lip-service to current trends but the folks Lambert works with here (a motley crew of collaborators that runs the gamut from Bruno Mars to Pharrell Williams) haven’t forgotten the need for melody. All great dance music is able to be sung along with outside of the club, and the fact that the folks on Team Adam remembered that pushes Trespassing to the front of the line in terms of pop music circa 2012.
The first 2/3 of the album is a non-stop dance party. Skateboard P contributes two of his best compositions in years-the title track (which is a bit reminiscent of “Hollaback Girl” but, you know, good) and the heavily caffeinated “Kickin’ In.” Adam joins forces with Chic guitarist Nile Rodgers and Aussie soul singer Sam Sparro for the sassy “Shady” and then channels P!nk circa “Raise Your Glass” for the track “Naked Love.” All of the songs mentioned are melodically sound and masterfully sung. There aren’t too many singers out these days (particularly dude singers) with the lung power of Glambert.
The midtempo and ballad cuts that comprise the last third of the album aren’t bad, either. Adam wrings every ounce of drama out of the standout track “Underneath,” while “Chokehold” suggests Depeche Mode from the Violator-era as sung by a 21st century version of Freddie Mercury. At a compact 12 tracks (guess who finds it unnecessary to spring for deluxe versions?) Trespassing is satisfying and it doesn’t overstay it’s welcome.
The ratio of bad albums to good albums that have emerged from the “American Idol” camp in the last decade is something like 30: 1. Aside from Kelly Clarkson, Fantasia and possibly Elliott Yamin, I can’t think of a contestant from the TV show who has put out more than one album worth a damn (with all apologies to Carrie Underwood, I’m just not a fan.) Adam Lambert has succeeded in not only putting out two solid albums, but also makes me quite curious about what he might pull out of his glittery hat for album #3.
As tied up as we are in waiting for legislation to catch up with our humanity, being a gay man can be supremely liberating. This is especially so on a behavioral level. (I assume this is similar for queer people of all and/or no genders, but I'm just speaking from experience here.) To be at peace with your queerness is to allow yourself to do whatever the fuck. We're not really expected to adhere to the heteronormative confines of masculinity, so why should we? Getting over the fear of being called a faggot really opens up the possibilities of how you represent yourself – you can be as masculine and/or as feminine as you are and/or see fit at a moment's notice. We still have to mind our environment (so, like, ease up on the lip liner in Uganda), but given the right place, we are freer than most.
Adam Lambert's consistently electrifying second album, Tresspassing (out this week), is that freedom set to music. It's freer than anything I've heard since the drag queen Sylvester disguised himself all over again in baritone at the conclusion of his "Dance (Disco Heat)." Though pummeling with house beats that by now have had their historical gayness ironed out of them by mainstream acceptance, Trespassing's tracks are largely more slinky than your typically buzzing and blaring Euro-radio fare. They often are stripped down, effete. "Kickin' In" recalls the unfairly ignored cowbell disco invocations by Pharrell Williams on Madonna's Hard Candy. The title track references the entire phenomenon of non-disco groups going disco — it overtly signifies Queen's "Another One Bites the Dust" in limber, pronounced bass line and pre-chorus steam-whooshing. It's smitten with musically ambiguous sexuality.
Lambert is one to mix it up, too, as he often unleashes a hair-metal yowl that harkens back to yet a different era of masculine/feminine fluidity. He rarely flames out vocally, save some operatic caterwauling in the George Michael-y "Broken English." Even his command to, "Work bitch!" in "Pop That Lock" is kind of inhaled and reserved, a drag-queen sentiment that's coming from a dude with just some eyeliner on his face. OK, and maybe some foundation.
There is a deliciously matter-of-fact approach to the overt gayness throughout – on the Maroon 5-ish "Shady," Lambert reveals plainly enough to go undetected unless you're really paying attention, "I throw more shade than a cloudy day." Elsewhere, he sings about his friend's friend Eddie with a "persuasive" "dirty mind," he implores some prey he spots while on the hunt to "Get your ass down to the front, go on and pull it out, I dare you," and he uses the words "ass" and "load" in sequential sentences. He best sums up his entire mindset here in the homage to/rip-off of Berlin's "No More Words," "Cuckoo": "I'm cocked and I'm ready to go."
There's a little bit of heavy-handed activism by way of love song — in the placid "Outlaws of Love," whose melody lightly recalls a hit from his first album, "Whataya Want From Me," he gets all Brokeback in his prettiest croon: "They say we'll rot in Hell / But I don't think we will / They've branded us enough / Outlaws of love." The song is nice, but it doesn't proclaim anything that the rest of the album hasn't said already with more subtlety and inherent assertion. For someone whose gayness has always been a talking point (even when he wasn't doing the talking during his stint on American Idol), whose career has felt the curse disproportionate to the gifts, whose first album ranked around a 4 on the musical Kinsey scale versus Tresspassing's solid 6, it seems that Lambert has achieved peace with himself in his music. There's almost nothing here that a straight dude could get away with singing. On Tresspassing, Lambert is here, queer and it sure sounds like he's used to it. It's a boon to his art.

May 18th 103.5 KISS FANTABULOSO Allstate Arena Rosemont IL
Adam Lambert donned a leopard print top and touches of silver in his gorgeous mane of hair and did what he does best: entertain the crowd at the 103.5 KISS FM Chicago 2012 Fantabuloso concert at the Allstate Arena in Chicago, Illinois last night.
On Tuesday he released his second LP Trespassing and it's well on its way to becoming number one on the iTunes chart. And if it does, he tweeted that he's going to give us a sneak peek of the NCOE video! Let's go Glambert Nation! We can do it.
Adam has already hit the top 200 on the Billboard chart in only 3 days of its release. It is expected that he will hit the number one spot some time next week.
Not so Quick recap of Fantabuloso (May 18, 2012) My 13yo son and I went to Fantabuloso last night. It was exactly as expected for a radio concert. Lots of filler, lots of time between acts, dumb DJ banter trying to hype up the crowd. It was at the Allstate Arena which is known for its bad sound. I've even heard stories that some artists refuse to play there due the terrible sound! I would only do this for Adam
We got to our seats just as the show was starting. We were to stage right in the first section off the floor. It was a good view of both the stage and the audience. I could clearly see the floor area and most of the tiered seating. The show was not completely sold out, but the floor and lower tier were mostly full and a significant number up in the second tier.
They did a quick video intro of all the acts. Biggest cheers for Enrique and the Wanted, but Adam was definitely above average which surprised me. Keep in mind that Chicago has had VERY little exposure to Adam. Kiss 103.5 barely played WWFM (mostly in the middle of the night) and played IIHY a little bit more. (They also played FYE a few times before it was dropped.) Our other Top40 station (B96) has NEVER played any of his music that I know of. WWFM gets play on the HAC and AC stations. Adam has NEVER done a solo concert in Chicago (OK, this arena is in the suburbs, but it is as close to Chicago as he has been!) The closest GNT got was Hammond Indiana and that was a casino show for only 21 and over.
The show started with Karmin - not going to go into details for all the artists who are not Adam, but they just didn't get me interested. The arena was only about half full at that point & only a few were dancing. Many were just ignoring them completely. 4 songs
A lot more people were there for Cobra Starship and they were pretty good. Most of the audience near me stood for at least part of their act. They had a few songs that most of the audience knew. 5 songs
Havana Brown was next. I do NOT understand the concept of DJ as stage act. Just weird to me to watch someone messing with turntables and equipment as entertainment. Lots of kids danced thru this set, so I guess it was a success? She "sang" her song last. Pretty sure it was just playing and she voiced over a few parts. There were times she had the mic nowhere near her face and still the song continued uninterrupted.
Next was the very creepy Carly Rae Jepson. She was dressed as a 14 yo. She skipped and bopped around the stage like a little girl. I just found out she is in her early 20s! She did 2 songs. First was boring - even the tweens near me who were excited to see her were having trouble getting into it. 2nd was Call Me Maybe. It's a catchy song and all the tweens were dancing like crazy, but it was a total lip-sync and not well done lip-sync.
There was a huge break before Adam. Lots of stage setup and some sort of technical difficulty. They pretty much played music and some of the kids kept dancing, but most of the audience was wandering around or just sitting in their seats. Finally a DJ came out and started trying to get the crown hyped up again. Just a bunch of "who can scream loudest?", "who's the best dancer?" stuff. We were 2.5 hours into this show by then & I think some of the teens were wearing down a little! LOL They eventually told the DJ that the problem was fixed and he introduced Adam. He was enthusiastic but I don't think he really knew much about Adam. Just said something about how he has come way beyond idol and is great. There was a female DJ who introduced a couple earlier acts who actually knew about them and gave way more info - oh well, not a big deal.
Adam sounded far better than anyone before him. The soundsystem is crap, but you can still tell how much better he is! The crowd around me got to their feet for Trespassing. I made a conscious effort to look around the audience and most of the arena seemed interested. Of course, they weren't singing along, but most were standing and grooving a bit to music. Most of the floor was up and maybe 2/3 in the lower tier. Higher tier was hard to judge - too dark. Kickin In was very good, but some of the crowd sat during that and shady. People near me still seemed to be doing a little seat dancing however. WWFM was AMAZING. The entire damn stadium sang along! From where I was, I could hear the sound coming from all over - I got chills I thought Cuckoo got a good response - similar to Trespassing as did NCOE. Given that the vast majority of this audience had NEVER heard these songs before, I was pretty impressed with the reaction. People were paying attention and many were up and dancing. Most of the floor was up for the whole set.
I can't say anything about the rest of the show. My son declared his ears were "tired" so we left after Adam's set. I would have liked to seen Enrique, but not enough to deal with a cranky kid!
Overall, I was really happy with how this went. The show was pretty much exactly as expected for a radio show. The sound is awful - but I think it is better on the sides than on the floor - and Adam still sounded fantastic. He looked happy and danced a lot. Oh yeah, he got a LOT of screams for some of the sexy moves also. LOL
