Teeehee, I love Craig Ferguson, especially during “huge douchebag day”. And when you have Peter Travers, Rolling Stone with references to the Rolling Stone cover and karaoke singing, I simply have to post this :P :
Can I say I’m slightly disappointed with the 20/20 interview that was broadcast? It felt… truncated, and like a repeat of what we already knew from the RS interview, other than the fact that we can actually see his bubbly personality on TV which we don’t get from print? And poor Neil got shafted! The online stuff was honestly so much better! To think I sat through half an hour listening to a report on the Amanda Knox case.
I really like Chris Connelly though. Unlike female interviewers who typically go gaga (like me), he’s mostly calm and collected in the interview and asked some nice questions (which unfortunately didn’t make it to the final TV cut). But I loved the part where he bursting out laughing on the snake issue (just like how Slezak couldn’t contain himself in the Idolatry interview about the Bob McKenzie showroom drag queen comment, or where Matt Mitovich chuckled to himself with the pink elephant comment). The dude has charisma.
On the bright side, some new findings gleamed from the broadcast interview:
1) He’s singing Fame by David Bowie(!!!)
2) The tour wardrobe looks awesome.
3) The new haircut really works.
4) How the f—k does he lose weight so quickly?? I need tips.
5) He rocks out and blows other regular performers away even at rehearsals.
6) He was totally flirting with the guy in the Skingraft store.
Anyway as usual, the hardworking people at Youtube already have the broadcast interview up:
Sleep at 3AM, wake up at 7;
sleep at 12 wake up at 4.
And when I try to sleep all over again, it becomes a staring exercise between me and my darkened ceilings.
Since when did my body start to tell myself four hours is all you need for sleep? My BFF, the abiity to sleep like a log, seems to have left me high and dry ever since I returned to the sunny isle of Singapore (actually make that Hell-level hot).

Magazine photos and outtakes
Someone tell me why these photosnever made it to the actual magazine???? They’re gorgeous! Seriously, this is really old school glam rock stuff. I think the photographer, Matthew Rolston, must have had so much fun with it. (Read what he has to say about the photo shoot) What’s next? Vanity Fair fantasy styled photoshoots?
Rolling updates
ETA 7: Here’s ABC News’ shrine. Check out the videoc clip on the making of the RS photoshoot. Guess who’s behind the snake concept? (Great answer btw!). JMHO, as much as I like the RS interview, I think his personality really shines in face-to-face video/audio ones. I also think he’s a PR dream, handling the toughest questions with aplomb, unlike Gokey who seems to stumble everywhere he goes (“Money, money, money!”).
Oh my, I’m at risk of turning this blog into an Adam Lambert fan site aren’t I?
But but… this is too awesome not to blog about…!!!!
Compare it with the American Idol version. How different does this get? (I prefer the singing in AI though, cos it’s just so much more emotional; it really shows how much he’s grown as a singer (I believe he was about 22 or 23 when he did the version above).
