Adam Lambert is a joy to watch, the most generous to other performers, never out shining them while sharing the stage, even tho' he could so easily do so. Adam is such a pro and class act. he is the most talented entertainer I have ever seen and the most humble and giving. He raised the bar for Idol and I love seeing him on the show. The best performer they have ever had.

[@funbunn40]

AdaM Lambert is always a joy to watch! Love that man! he's Tahoe most generous to other per, never letting ego getting in the way of letting others shine. heis talent is astoundingly

[@carolebergman3612]

Adam is always so gracious and he makes whom ever he is talking with feel very special. As far as his voice and talent.. Adam is the BEST!!! Looking forward to what he has in mind for his next album!!

[@LoveHasNoColour]

Adam Lambert is so interesting, articulate, and talented. Can't wait for his new music!

[@StarlightWink]

Adam is such a sweetheart! Can't help but love him

[@jimmyboyzable]

Adam Lambert, he's one of my all-time favorite musicians !!! : )

[@tinalvsdogs]

I still love Adam. He's such a great talker and performer. Knew he'd be a star when he auditioned.

[@jeffervescence]

Adam is fun to interview, he just says whatever is on his mind, doesn't hold back. Love his candor, it's so pfresh! No one but a fellow Glambert will know just how much we love & adore this young man. He will always have a place in our hearts, and a HUGE part in our lives :)

[@piscesmaiden44]

There is no one more "real and authentic" than Adam Lambert! He is surreal, and so real! ILHSM

[@LoveHasNoColour]

Adam Lambert is an international star. He will be the perfect American Idol judge, and has the ability to save the ratings.

[@ellen1148]

Adam is perfection. Jim can't hide his love LOL

[@susanc6356]

Adam I adore you! You are THE most overall talented person to ever grace the stage of Idol. I am among the millions who feel you should have been the winner not the runner up. Your benevolence to Angie in the finale was sooooo gracefilled. The person you are is utterly wonderful. Thank you for blessing all of us with your God-given talents

[@LuvsDebbie]

Love, love, love Adam Lambert !!!

[@cko1005]

Adam is AMAZING performer and Singer! He has a beautiful and Powerful. He also is a beautiful man.

[@AprilPeacockRainer]

Adam like NEEDS to be a judge! I wouldn't miss a second of Idol if he was!

[@LadyCharity]

Adam is gorgeous and I love his style...he should be a judge great personality!

[@xentafy]

World Star with a voice from heaven and WOW!! Lookin good!!

[@LoveHasNoColour]

I love Adam Lambert!

[@VelvetGal5]

I agree, LoveHasNoColour. I think Adam Lambert should have his own talk show. He's the type who would make many people feel comfortable opening up about many issues & topics. For some reason, besides music, I see him doing a talk show. I think he would be a good reality TV show judge, too. He's honest, has experience, & he can dish comments without being mean. He has a good heart but isn't afraid to speak his mind & to voice his opinions. He has a good balance & is very sharp & observant.

[@Glam1877]

He's charming :) love him!

[@wildrover7]

I truly believe Adam would be a GREAT JUDGE ON IDOL, he is the perfect combination to be able to help the contestants and lift them up when they are down!

[@jenigalia]

Adam Lambert has always been the best

[@chezzasan]

adam is so beautiful... inside and out...

[@ninab7558]

Adam is a gentleman! And he could sing to me any day he wants to. It was amazing him having the generosity to let Angie show her vocals... They should record a duet together!

[@juliachioma1089]

Adam your handsome...so happy to see you here

[@cko1005]

Adam is fabulous...

[@jodimclaren1119]

omg he is soooooo frieking gorgeous!!!!

[@lisakn27]

I love adam to pieces.

[@shaneadamgirl]

Adam Lambert is one of the most successful AI contestants! I still can remember what he sang during his time! Salute.

[@SweetLeaf4371]

Thank you americanidol! I love Adam Lambert!!

[@LoveHasNoColour]

From this interview, you can tell that Adam Lambert has got all the qualities to be an excellent American Idol judge. Also, he has already said that he wants to do the job. So I hope American Idol will hire him to be a Season 13 judge.

[@xAriesGlambertz]

HAHAHA He's adorable! Love him so much :D

[@silverstar9425]

ADAM LEMBERT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@verycool49]

adam is the bomb. love him

[@donnal.padilla4336]

So, he is the best ever

[@midas41]

I just love Adam Lambert, the dictionary needs to include his name under the meaning of charismatic .... need to see more of him of tv!

[@badboyblasian]

I wish Adam would have given us more singles from 'Trespassing', but I guess I'll accept that we won't be getting anymore eventually. :( That album changed my life. I liked Adam before but 'Trespassing' made me a SUPER FAN! I hope the next album has a similar theme, or he thinks of an even better one. :) LOVE YOU ADAM!!!

[@TheRebelAndTheGirl]

i feel like such a goof i screamed when i saw him in the audience

[@MadHatty111]

yeah, I thought he was toning it down for Angie, so she could shine, yet he was still amazing! I love him so god damn much

[@1970sGirl]

LOVE Adam !!! He's so humble, funny, courteous and adorable. Have admired him since first seeing him on AI. I enjoyed the skit with the Idols (that Jordan conspired to get all the boys voted off) and I LOOOOOOOVE Psy!!! SOOOOO entertaining! Was dancing around the living room. Didn't watch AI at ALL this season (Marian and Nicki too annoying) but watched the finale for Adam and Psy. Enjoyed it.

[@OpheliaAudio]

Most of the comments on this feed are very positive and respectful. If a few comments contain remarks you are offended by then address those individuals. Don't disparage an entire group because two or three of its members say stupid things. Adam Lambert has more than 6 million fans actively engaging in socially media and the majority are very polite.

[@HalienNation1]

Great job on the AI finale with Angie! Respect!!!

[@summervibe28]

ADAM ♡♡♡

[@surefireangels]

If people want Adam to truly succeed and become the icon that he is destined to become, then they must welcome and embrace new fans into the fold, not ridicule them for liking other artists. Adam deserves more than that. He is a rare and special kind of talent, for sure, but he's not the ONLY talent. Pushing potential fans away is detrimental to all that he could become. I know that some people take their enthusiasm too far, but they need to consider the impact that it may have on Adam's future.

[@zoniduck]

A+ move getting Jim Cantiello for the pre-show, Idol. He's a total woobie, and he has an encyclopedic knowledge of Idol. Pia, you were sweet, and anybody who loves Adam is okay in my book. Adam was delightful and hot like burning, but then it's a day ending in y, so I'm not surprised.

[@elviegatchalian1995]

the best season was when Adam joined. He was the best performer ever! i still can't believe he lost to...i forgot his name!

[@sharonm.6413]

I agree if Adam was a judge on AI or any other singing realty show ppl would tune in just to see him and listen to what he has to say. His opinions could really help the contestants improve when needed. I'd tune in just to watch him.

[@loveismyair]

Dear Idol I am PISSED at you for only letting Adam sing half a song altho it was SPECTACULAR as expected.

[@donnal.padilla4336]

My favorite duets were Angie & Adam Lambert, Angie & Jessie J & then the Band Perry & Janelle. The rest due even come close to these 3 duets.

[@LoveHasNoColour]

Adam Lambert is going to be "Ali Baba" at the Life Ball in Vienna tonight. He will perform the Life Ball 2013 song called 'Love Wins Over Glamour". President Bill Clinton, Elton John, and many other guests will be there too. Thanks to American Idol for giving Adam Lambert a platform to be discovered! Now he is helping and promoting many great organisations and causes around the world!

[@jeffervescence]

Besides his excellent vocal technique & wide vocal range, he's very creative in blending genres. A futuristic artist with great charisma & exciting stage presence! Unfortunately, his music does not fit into a standard on the music chart. He thinks & creates out of the box & I hope the world will recognize & embrace this true music genius by his next album. Whichever direction he takes next, I know it's going to be awesome!

[@tamlevan8426]

he's very handsome!

[@hotshot7796]

Adam I think would be a great Judge on A.I. As a matter of fact, I have been thinking that they should consider asking former Idol Alums to be judges next season.

[@janaancoman7711]

I love this ma

[@dimdim6108]

Omg.... Adam...

[@sinead_yasmin]

Adam Should be a judge next year!! HEAR ME IDOL????? PUT ADAM AS A JUDGE!!!!! NOW!!!!!

[@sharonm.6413]

OMG you said it all. Did you watch him as a guest judge on Chinese Idol? It's on YT

[@lyvian0321]

thats exactly what i thought. His voice could've gone higher and beyond, he totally toned down for angie. I hope he could be hired as judge next season too. we all want to see more of Adam on AI.

[@halag]

He is such a sweety. I find myself grinning like an idiot whenever he's talking :D Was a bit disappointed his duet with Angie was so short but it was awesome anyway.

[@GlambertNZ]

Besides Titanium hitting the charts again because Adam & Angie redid it .... Love Wins Over Glamour is going to top that at the Life Ball

[@sharonm.6413]

He didn't really lose did he? He's a world superstar. I was trying to remember last night how many winners are still successful. Only a few.

[@stanbert5042]

Pia looks great...I love her dress & shoes. Adam looks sans-glam-casual and HOT! I thought Titanium was the highlight....loved how he stepped back and let Angie shine (side-eye to every other celeb hogging and competing).

[@culboz]

Adam Lambert, Kelly Clarkson and Jimmy Ivene for next season's panel!.

[@Topkat311]

Adam would be great on a Talk show, but that's way down the road...His voice is just too good to keep him from singing, & doing concerts. He would also be perfect as a judge on Idol. I think there isn't anything Adam couldn't do...he's so personable, charismatic, not to mention alarmingly handsome, & humble as well.

[@voltairie]

Second that - Psy was an all round waste. Adam's duet showed him to be a genuine gentleman and a sterling team player.

[@VelvetGal5]

I agree with you, Topkat. Very well-said. Have a nice day & week, Topkat. :-)

[@onceinabluemoon315]

His hair matches the hedges... Lol!

[@surefireangels]

Is that so? Please point out some of those things to me, because I'd love to see them! I rarely post anywhere, as a matter of fact, and I would do NOTHING to hurt Adam, let alone "belittle" him. He's an amazing person, with amazing talent, and I have nothing but the utmost respect for him. You'll never find ANYTHING negative that I've EVER said about Adam, because I have nothing negative to say. I love him. But some of his fans to not represent the light and love that he encourages. Convo over.

[@SweetBee13]

WHY DID IDOL TAKE DOWN THE GORGEOUS TITANIUM PERFORMANCE WITH ANGIE & ADAM!? Sad :(

[@jonardus]

omg pia toscano!

[@surefireangels]

I don't think their attitudes have much to do with age (many are older than me) but I struggle with understanding their mentality. I said absolutely nothing negative about Adam, because I have nothing negative to say. I only asked them not to be negative toward others, and they took offense. But I guess you are right. I shouldn't try to understand something that cannot be understood. I know that there are many kind fans, such as yourself. Thank you for your understanding and encouraging words.

[@OpheliaAudio]

Yes he is and super proud of it! Thanks for noticing. :)

[@Sandst0rm34]

what is the name of the girl interviewing adam

[@elliottadam8340]

Adam Lambert you're so Addictive and cool and beautiful and sweet. I'm crying immediately my tears immediately are drifting now seriously. Aww he is so hot and that laugh of yours is so hot and sassy and handsome guy you drive me crazy babe #Mrs Lambert forever and ever 💍👰 #Glambert girl forever and ever 👱💙💙💙💙💙 #Adam Lambert Bride forever and ever 👰💍 #Adam Lambert wife forever and ever 👰👰👰👰💍🎸🎼🎤🎤

[@rui7552]

it's PIA, from season 10, i just remerber in the end :o

[@barbeshaglambert6730]

Did everyone miss the swan dress part!!! He has got to bring that out next time!!!!

[@stacia2719]

Who is the woman that Adam is talking to ?

[@borednerd2100]

Pia Toscano, she's a singer and a former Idol contestant.

[@stacia2719]

Thank you!

[@borednerd2100]

@@stacia2719 you're welcome!

[@barbeshaglambert6730]

Is it me or does anyone else hear michael jackson Billie Jean!? My moonwalker feels are getting to me! Michael and Adam same video *Swoon*

[@surefireangels]

Why was this turned into anything ABOUT Kris Allen? I never mentioned him at all, so maybe you are the one who is hanging onto American Idol. All I said was that people should stop dissing Psy. People can admire Adam, his beauty, his talent, his entire awesome presence without putting a barb in about another artist. Adam's talent stands alone. He doesn't need anyone to compare him to anyone else, because there is no comparison. But that doesn't mean other artists aren't talented in their own way

[@surefireangels]

I don't deny being a fan of Kris Allen, Darren Hayes, Pink, or many other artists. I'm open to a very diverse amount of music. I love how you feel like just because I'm a fan of Kris that I can't possibly be a fan of Adam. That just proves my point, actually. To say that I'm the only negative person just because I asked people to stop dissing Psy is ridiculous. I'm doing nothing different than Adam himself has done. Adam deserves better representation than he's given. I'm done with this convo.

[@surefireangels]

I adore Adam Lambert, but his fans could learn a lot from his humility. Why is it impossible for some of them to appreciate more than just one style of music? I agree with the praise that is given to Adam, but why diss Psy in the process? You don't have to build Adam up by tearing down other artists. You're entitled to your own opinions, but why can you not just compliment Adam and, if you don't like another artist, let it be? Your opinion is not the only one that matters! Why so negative?

[@Hiver49]

3:20 oh you would werkkk that dress

[@LauHsampa]

Am I the only one who noticed that Pia is the most beautiful girl EVER?

[@anbanody]

He's sooooo hottttt!

[@skadi6750]

You are fighting windmills, they first need to grow up to understand what tolerance REALLY means. Give them a time. Now they are in stadium of loving anything that a majority loves and hating anything unpopular. But most of them will grow up. I know, cuz I was in their age too once...I dont know, how old you are, but obviously few steps further already...simply give them a time.

[@surefireangels]

Why so defensive? If you noticed my wording, you would see the phrase "SOME OF THEM", therefore I did not disparage an "entire group". I am part of that group, jsyk. All I am saying is that it is not the first time. These "fans" tend to target every other artist, and do so by claiming support of Adam. That is not something that Adam encourages, and is not helpful to either his image, or to the image of his fans. To engage in or even to dismiss that behavior will eventually alienate new fans.

[@lenoregreen1157]

Is this LFB? XO LFG

[@taurean420]

Why take down Titanium, Idol? *frustrated

[@swabechiqq]

I J-U-S-T L-O-V-E A-D-A-M!!! :)

[@Xercept]

Adam, hehe

[@LoveHasNoColour]

I think you should be concerned about the career of your own Idol (Kris Allen) instead. lol

[@cherellestanton6428]

It just doesn't get any "real-er" than Adam. . . . #dreamysigh

[@rawrrandomly8]

Except he is too successful to jump back on the sinking ship of American Idol haha

[@LoveHasNoColour]

Yes, what @surefireangels has been doing is ridiculous and sad. American Idol Season 8 was over a long time ago. Maybe she should use her time and energy to promote Kris Allen instead. :)

[@skadi6750]

They mostly have to do with age, you are maybe an exception, exceptions confirm the rule...:-)

[@liamprince2170]

Yes, @surefireangels is a diehard Kris Allen fan who posts on everything that has to do about Adam Lambert trying to belittle Adam or his fans while pretending to be an Adam fan, she really is a pathetic jealous person but I find her persistence to hurt Adam rather amusing, I point out all her comments to friends and we have a huge laugh over her neverending butthurt! lol #theyrearedoctorstohelpyou

[@sharonm.6413]

It wasn't Adam's decision it was his label RCA. don't know if you know this but RCA is the most conservative record label in the industry. Adam is just too good for generic pop music he is at another level in the genre but kids today mainly want the JB, KP, Ke$ha, Psy stuff. If he went ROCK it probably wouldn'b be played on radio. Adult Contempory is where he belongs. We'll see what happens with #3

[@Xercept]

And I saw PSY's performance!!! Hahahahhaha

[@shaivazquez714]

pretty :)))))))))))))))))))

[@christinawebkinzlarry2068]

Adam is hot!!
