When falsetto meets falsetto

American Idol winner Adam Lambert  may not be metal, but he is a cherubic little glam rock angel with an insane vocal range.  Plus, he's got rave reviews from Slash and Brian May, so bitch please, I am not the only one who is a certified Glambert asshole.  Anyway, his album debuts in November and the hype around it is already pretty intense.  But- no one really knows what to expect.  Will he stick with his rock roots or go the American Idol-pop-music way?
Well, you can exhale!  (I know every metal head is dying with anticipation).  Three songs from his album have been released to some media outlets and the reviews are good.  Here is the kicker- JUSTIN HAWKINS FROM THE DARKNESS /HOT LEG wrote and plays guitar on one of the tracks- "Music Again".  I am so fucking excited for this that I could crap my pants.  The second this shit is leaked I am breaking the law and posting it here for you all to enjoy.

  3. Forget Lambert! What about Kris Allen, the actual WINNER? Now there's a guy who could rock a track with Justin Hawkins. Besides, Kris is so huggable and cute. Adam is just uh flamboyant. You know what I'm sayin', like Liberace?

  4. Kris who? That creepy kid with the fingernails on a chalkboard voice?
    And eskio, the word you're looking for is "gay." Say it with me - gaaaaayyyyy. Don't worry, Adam's not interested in you.

  5. Kris Allen is the winner. Nothing you say can change that! America has spoken. We love how itty bitty he is, with those short little bow legs and the way he mumbles and pushes his jaw sideways and sings out of the corner of his mouth. He is just so so cute.

  7. Kris guitar + Hawkings guitar + Kris song = lively music = bestseller CD. Just my opinion.

  8. Oh c'mon. Kris can't play the guitar very well at all. But he's such a cute little monkey the way he hops around while he's playing that it doesn't matter. It doesn't matter either that his management made him start taking voice lessons after he won the show. Who cares if he can't sing that well? He's so cute when he sings that's all that matters. The little sideways jaw thing gets me all verklempt.

  9. Eskio,
    I think the days of anyone being "upset" that Adam Lambert was runner-up as opposed to "winner" are over. Lambert is the guy with the pipes, the buzz, the IT, the attention, the magazine covers, the industry recognition, the AMA performance, the magazine covers, the "hot" collabs (like Hawkins), and on and on. No one cares anymore who won. In fact a lot of non-idol watchers thing Adam won. LOL. When you have to go out reminding people your guy won, it's time to have a talk with all those folks in Arkansas about actually buying the record of the guy they held voting partie for.

  10. Who cares who won a tv reality contest? Certainly no one in the music industry, where everyone seems to be drooling over Adam Lambert and certainly not me, I don't buy mediocre, boring music by barely average musicians just because a bunch of idiots power voted for them. I bet Justin Hawkins and Adam Lambert had a fantastic time working together and it sounds like we are in for a treat hearing what they came up with from the early reviews. I can't wait.

  11. I am quite literally dying with laughter at the thought of Justin Hawkins and Kris Allen even existing in the same three dimensional space much less attempting to play music together. Funniest delusional comments EVER. I'm excited for the Rob Cavallo, Justin Hawkins, Adam Lambert collaboration, that could turn out something pretty amazing.

  12. ITA with anonymous who said "who cares who won a tv reality contest",especially one with "rumors" that some "funny business" was going on with the voting. Anyway, Adam has the chops to sing just about anything & I'm so excited for his cd to come out! I think he is going to give us a wide variety of sounds & styles, just like he said he would.

  13. I am literally crying with laughter that they made KA take singing lessions! HAHA, FAIL. Sad that KA fans only like him because he's small? and not because of the voice that he doesn't have. Don't even start comparing the two.
    Anyways Adam's album is going to be the best. I am super excited and going to get it the second it comes out!

  14. Kris Allen is the first Idol winner in the history of Idol to not show up at his own headlining Idol Tour - he was "too ill" to perform and Adam had to close the show for him.

    Kris's debut was a cover AND flopped, btw.

    No one in the industry cares who won a glorified karaoke contest, they all have to prove themselves as ARTISTS now.

    Adam's recorded and/or written with Wells, Rivers (the Weezer frontman), Brian Ray (Macca's bassist), Cavallo and a ton of others.

    I just hope his album's not too pop or not full of falsetto on each track because he actually has a killer, versatile voice.

    We'll see...
