You mean emo/drag queen Adam? Yes, this is really him.

Ok look, she's (Megan) definitely NOT the best singer, BUT she has the most originality as an artist. She's HOT, current, and NOT boring. I understand her style not being liked some what, that's easy to take, however she is unique, quirky (in a sweet way), looks FABULOUS on camera, and can sing in a original twisted genre. This is a quality in a singer bound for at least some success. She's not going to win this competition, but just like Chris Sligh, she will get gigs and go somewhere.
I loved the Lindsey Buckingham/Little Big Town show ... have seen them both live. It was great!
Sorry if this was already posted. I think Lambert should be eliminated. From http://www.foxnews.com/story/0,2933,508975,00.html
Last April, I told you that David Cook was the season’s ringer on American Idol. At the time, he had an independent album out, sold on amazon.com. You may recall that Cook went on to win the competition.
This year, one “ringer” has already been removed: Joanne Pacitti, who apparently was a friend of the show’s producers. But there’s still one left, and he’s making fast inroads with the audience and the judges.
Adam Lambert stole the show on Tuesday night when he wowed the audience with a flamboyant performance of Michael Jackson’s “Black or White.” Everyone went crazy, especially Paula Abdul, who exclaimed that it was the best performance in the history of American Idol.
Really, Paula? Better than Fantasia singing “Summertime” or anything from Jennifer Hudson? But I digress.
Lambert, 27, from San Diego, should be good: he’s a seasoned performer, a past member of the national touring cast of the Broadway hit, Wicked, and a regular entertainer in Los Angeles. There’s nothing amateur about him.
Indeed, Lambert was not only in Wicked, but in 2004 and this past year he was in the cast of The Zodiac Show, a Los Angeles musical revue where he honed his showy skills performing numbers as if he were Jonathan Rhys Myers in Velvet Goldmine. In his Zodiac bio, Lambert notes his self distributed CD of music, and the fact that his group Citizen Vein, is “in the studio.”
In other words, Lambert is an overnight sensation if you were born yesterday.
More details about him can be found on this blog. The Web site asks visitors to “view my reel” on YouTube, but whatever it was, it’s been removed. We do learn more about Lambert’s personality from the bio, here, though, including that he loves to shop and dress up. On his resume: “Been able to freely express at The Key Club with Club Makeup last Halloween, The Music Box in the Zodiac Show, Dragstrip 66 backing Mz A.”
Almost more interesting than Adam, though, is his dad, Eber Lambert. This is where the theatricality comes from. Eber Lambert is the host of Poetry Open Mic night in San Diego at Rebecca’s in South Park, He’s also an aspiring writer himself, working with San Diego Writers Ink.
According to Eber Lambert’s bio, he “was born the son of a tent re-canvaser in Outer Mongolia before being sublimated and reissued in Hinesburg, Vermont in the mid 1960s. He began writing disturbed poetry and prose much to the chagrin and repeated dissuasion of his writing teachers in college. So he became an electrical engineer and wrote strictly as a creative outlet for the next 25 years. In the 80s, he worked for the secret Nixon government and developed technology for Post-Extinction Warfare and Time Dilation Reality Modulators. After an extended midlife crisis in the late 90s, he narrowly escaped a track home suburban existence, underwent extensive deprogramming to emerge in 2002 divorced, the father of grown children and ready to resume his 20s. Still a part time writer, allegedly 37.3 percent of the way through his first novel, Eber spends his days working toward the Quixotic goal of early retirement — at least, this is the way Eber tells it.”
You can hear one of Eber Lambert’s pieces, about Jesus “getting all the babes” here. It begins: “Jesus and the Apostles were an early psychedelic garage band that rode into Jerusalem on chopped Harley mules.” It’s pretty amusing, actually. Another piece can be found here.
I can't tell if this is Eber's idea of "creative writing" or if he really believes that.
After an extended midlife crisis in the late 90s, he narrowly escaped a track home suburban existence, underwent extensive deprogramming to emerge in 2002 divorced, the father of grown children and ready to resume his 20s.
In other words, a typical self-centered liberal baby-boomer. No wonder Adam turned out the way he did.
Was Kelly on SNL this weekend? I missed it.
What year did Nixon resign? There is some sort of secret government (I base this on a conversation I had with my former government teacher that was also a part time state trooper that had a little incident), but, why would he call it Nixon't secret government if he was involved years AFTER Nixon resigned?
After an extended midlife crisis in the late 90s, he narrowly escaped a track home suburban existence, underwent extensive deprogramming to emerge in 2002 divorced, the father of grown children and ready to resume his 20s.
The Mongolian Candidate? ;)
Hi Jonny. Yes...she wasn't in any skits (thank goodness, since they're so lame these days), but she performed MLWSWY and I Do Not Hook Up.
Here's a link to her MLWSWY performance.
Here's a link to her IDNHU performance.
Her album is going to debut at #1 this week, according to a press release from Billboard. It will be her second #1 album. Believe it or not, 'Breakaway' did not debut at #1. Her other album that did was the post-Idol 'Thankful'.
You mean emo/drag queen Adam? Yes, this is really him.
I guess that’s what he means by “freely express”. Vomit.
I’m going to wash my eyes out with those Kelly vids, LOL
LOL! In case you haven't looked, there's a lot more Queen Adam photos out on the internet. He apparently has not hidden his queen proclivities at all. BTW, the San Francisco Examiner entertainment editorial staff is practically foaming at the mouth at the prospect of the first openly gay AI winner. They want Adam to actually declare his gayness on Idol. Barf!
Jonny, BTW...I just noticed your tagline. Very nice, and it’s an antidote to all the ugliness around us in politics and show biz these days. :)
Yeah, I’ve seen the Adam pictures. They are...um, interesting.
I actually find his dad’s writing more disturbing.
Holy Hannah! What a freak!
Looking forward to tonight bump. :)
You should get really be happy with Adam mocking the National Anthem with his gay friends.
Pretty much saying being patriotic is being like a sheep.
Go watch this video and barf.

WTF? Why should I be happy with anything that Lambert does? Aside from that, I have to say thanks for the link, because his disrespect for our National Anthem just solidifies my deep dislike for this POS.
Kelly's next single, I Do Not Hook Up, goes to radio on April 7th. It's a catchy pop song that most conservatives should like for its message against boozing and casual "hook up" sex by today's young people. The lyrics for the chorus are:
Oh, no I do not hook up, up
I go slow
So if you want me
I don't come cheap
Keep your head on my hand and
Your heart on your sleeve
This is a welcome antidote to the trash directed by show biz to young people 24x7x365. It's a counter message to Fantasia's first hit called Baby Mama, which celebrated pregnancy for very young girls on welfare.
So far in her career, Kelly has been the "anti-celebrity." She's not stick thin, doesn't do drugs, lives in Texas, and has a cross tatooed on the inside of one wrist to remind her to remain humble. Because her love life hasn't been plastered all over the tabloids, she's been getting questions about whether or not she's a lesbian. She emphatically said no, "I could never be a lesbian." And, so far, she's kept her political leanings to herself, whatever they may be. Smart girl.
