When I watched he rerun I loved it more than the first time I seen it if thats possible. You were the only Idol that did him justice that night and MJ would have been proud. I cannot believe that America voted for Kris or rather against you. Are Americans really that ignorant when it comes to talent or are there just too many hateful people in this world who use these venues to spew their hatred.Oh well, no matter, You alone are the star on the tour, the only star on the the tour that will be worth while seeing and Im not going to wish you success because you already have it. Love you always and forever.

Adam Lambert Vs. Michael Jackson.
I love you, Adam. Michael may he rest in peace, I love him as well.
I can't say that Adam is the "King of Pop" but I will give him the title the "Prince of Pop" and also "Rock God." Even one day Adam you will be the "Greatest Entertainer to Represent your and mine Generation."
But that's what I think on that situation.

As far as all of your sucess Adam, me, myself and all of your thousand and millions of fans are proud of you. Congradulations on being on top, keep up everything and strive higher to suceed and stand tall. Ill keep my ears open on you and your sucess.

Hi Mr Adamazing, It's alittle long ~ hmmm, I wonder?? Eye-wink lol ~ but anyway, will you PLEASE be gracious & indulge me....yes, I know you've heard it all b4, but this is from my 89 yr. young MOM, & from my heart as well, and I want to share it with you, ...thx
So, Rock God, how does it feel to have the world at your feet? Sux hey! lol But, really, you are a world-wide phenomenon, and our new Prince of Pop/Rock (or whichever music genre/s you'll represent)... it doesn't matter, because......
EVERYWHERE YOU GO,
EVERYTHING YOU DO,
every SONG YOU SING,
every AMAZING NOTE YOU HIT,
every STAGE YOU IGNITE,
every THEATRE PERFORMANCE YOU GIVE,
every DANCE MOVE YOU MAKE,
every WORD OR COMMENT YOU SPEAK,
every COSTUME YOU WEAR (and wear so sexy),
your GORGEOUS SMILE,
the GLEAM IN YOUR EYES,
the CHARISMA AND ELECTRICITY,
the MAN THAT YOU ARE FOR BEING TRUE TO YOURSELF WITHOUT FEELING SHAME,
your HONESTY,
that RUFFLED UPPER LIP WHEN YOU SING 'MAD WORLD', 'WHOLE LOTTA LOVE', etc..
the RESPECT YOU GIVE TO OTHERS,
the LOVE YOU SHOW YOUR FAMILY,
your MODEST PRIDE, ...and...and...
your CHARMING, LOVING, AND VERY WITTY PERSONALITY will continue to be in all our hearts as our Idol, & no doubt a legend and icon in the entertainment industry forever.
MY MOM will be 89 in OCT., she's probably one of your oldest fans & definately the most dedicated. I printed out pics of you for her, and she has them framed with one in each room of her apartment out in plain view and 1 right next to her chair! lol She is sooo proud of you, and has told me many times that in all her years, she's never seen or heard such a dynamic talent as yours...(just think, that's almost 90 yrs worth of entertainers) my mom doesn't just throw any comments out there either, she's very honest, and I feel she's as close to being an angel than anyone I've known. Her wish is to meet you before she dies...she just wants to give you a hug, congratulate you, and wish you ultimate success. I hope I can make that happen for her. I've tried to find a mailing address to send you a pic of my mom, but to no avail. If you have an address I can send it to make sure it gets to you, please send the address to my e-mail: ib_jaoie@yahoo.com
We adore you the way you are, don't let the media or jealous peeps dictate negativity on how you feel about yourself in any way, because we wouldn't want you any other way! But,
I will convey that after everything I've heard you express til now, the only thing that's ever raised my eyebrows is the comment you made about some tweets being twats...lol...too funny, I UNDERSTAND, but some ppl will get offended, so remember to keep your humility, and your fans will always support you ~ (just a thought) ~I still luv ya! ~but yes, I'm a girl:(
'ADAM' (or ADAMAZING) is a household name around here...NO last name necessary, you're family! YOU'RE PICS & MAG COVERS ARE FRAMED & HUNG IN OUR BAR WITH MUCH PRIDE AND ADMIRATION!! Thank you so much for sharing your wonderful talent and for just being who you are! I've officially been ADAMIZED these past several months!! Good luck to you, stay humble, be safe on your journeys, and cheers to your never-ending success! Much love & support always. ( Phew...long-winded, hope you din't fall asleep)

Michael Jackson would have loved Adam's version of B&W. Wish MJ had heard it before he died. Adam was great and looked great. I wish Adam would grow his hair that length and style again. (I am still so sad about MJ. I loved him and his music gave meGREAT joy!)

lorrie king1

OMG!!!!!!!!ADAM you set the bars so high. But , I have to say this you actually sound better than Micheal on this song. American look out Adam is going to knock the boots off everybody cause dude you can sing. Lova ya Adam

It was so said when Michael Jackson died. Me and my neighbors honored him the night they did the American Idol encore. First we watched it, then we filmed ourselves doing our own version of the thriller.

RIP MJ

Sue Gargano

Watched the memorial, brought me to tears. Now we have a new phenomenon and his name is Adam, truly! Oddly enough, both were born in Indiana! Highly anticipating the release of your first album and I'm sure it will be a mega hit. Adam no one can sing like you. You were given a rare gift and all your fans appreciate it. Like Michael Jackson, you are a rare gem. I forecast great success for you. Enjoy the tour, even though you will have to sing the same songs about 50 times LOL! I still can't figure out where you were the past ten years, wow! By the way, saw some youtube videos of you singing in Portland. Now the coat is amazing, loved it! Keep on truckin' boy, and don't forget to think always positive thoughts, don't let the media get to you!

Redfairydog2

I'll be sure 2 check it out cuz my sis luvs Mj and cried her heart out when he died Plus i like watching Adam perform and the judges have 1 say about his performance which is always a good thing!!

leotalola

The very first time I started watching the AI, Adam was singing that song and I felt like he sung it the way Michael Jackson should have sang it. The feeling was there. I just really enjoyed Adam's version a lot better. I looked for Adam every week.

JanHaas

Well, I missed both tributes - had company! Shoot!! Will there be another showing?.......... I hope, as I'm sure many others do! -Jan

adammadworld19

Just like the immortals in the show Highlander said: "in the end, there can be only one." Adam is THE ONE! the new King of the new Pop in the new Age.

iluvadamlambert4ever

You represented him well with "Black or White". You even add a new twist on the song. I can not wait until your album is out!!!!!!!

Love XOXOXO,

OM my sister told me in that day that she saw on TWITTER. I was like in shock... how the hell he die?
I love his songs so much: billie jean, thriller, black or white...

we will never forget you... you will be with us forever

Babs777

Well Adam,
There are many who will want to capitalize on your success... some are genuine... others are leaches! However, I have listened to all of your early work, including at the clubs on New Years Eve.. and Crawl Thru Fire... The Zodiac Show! They all help me to see the evolution of your career... from the early "Adam" years to American Idol, and beyond.
Although it was VERY underhanded... it is still YOU!

Think of it this way... They will soon be releasing many previously unheard sound studio recordings from the Michael Jackson Vault....some he may not have cared to share.... So you are in Great Company!

I would never fault you because these released songs may not be "polished".... like I already said... they are a part of YOUR history! However, your "CURRENT STATUS" is that of a FANTASTIC ALL AROUND ENTERTAINER !!

SO....Don't sweat the small stuff.... AND.... It's all small stuff!

PS.... I know you are far beyond those demos.... and I look forward to hearing your upcoming "current" album!

Be blessed!!

cuteangelkelly

I am sure Michael Jackson would be honored. I really do hope he had seen Adam Lambert performance of "Black or White" because it really did Michael Jackson justice.

I am going to create some artwork too in honor of MJ. I've already got a large poster-sized drawing of Adam Lambert and I hope to add a poster honoring MJ soon. ( I'll post them on here soon, right now they will be on my website http://www.kellyfelsted.com/node/34)

Michael Jackson truly was a legend... and as it has been said legends never die. So in a way Michael Jackson will always be with us as long as we keep on playing the music.

Don't stop the music...

JULIEB

After seeing all the mediocre talent perform during the MJ special, just how bad is AI going to suck in Season 9? I mean, seriously, did Adam not blow most of them away? What will there be after Adam? People trying to be Adam? Just ordinary singers performing? MAYBE one standout from the crowd, if they are lucky? (I guarantee you this person won't even reach Adam's level of talent)

Best Solo artist- In the first place, but Kris is on the third place.

I think that the results will be announced on July 7. So, we need to vote as much as we can from now til Sunday.

Adam mentioned that this was one of the more difficult song choices - but I have to tell you, Adam your version really grows on you more and more as you listen to it - its an amazing song, the lyrics interesting and such a great tune to match - wonderful meaning! Adam, your expressions with singing this number are great - you strut your stuff!! This number has been playing itself through my mind regularly of late - just another one of your brilliant performances. I am a definite fan of Mad World - as time goes by I simply adore Tracks of my Tears and Black or White - I hope these may be recorded on album by you in due course.

Just love what you are doing and very THANKFUL and APPRECIATIVE of your music choices on AI - its been such a Pleasure listening and watching, again and again......

I believe that 100% percent. After my initial shock of finding out that MJ died, I turned to my sister and said Adam is going to be the next King of Pop. Like you said everything happens for a reason, I believe he will take the world by storm.

E4TA

I grew up with MJ....his was my first album and he was absolutely incredible. What a sad and tragic outcome. I see Adam as the beginning of a new generation of fabulous talent and music. Rock-on Adam, we can't wait to see what you have in store for us. I hope you are able to stay grounded. Sounds like you had stable and supportive parents. Good for them......

Martys

I hope Adam realizes that he has a fan base that goes from preteens to postteens...LOL. Speaking from "The Southern Grandmas" we just love you. Grandma E clued me in, as I am not a fan of American Idol (as we can see why, how the heck did they reach that final decision?) and I fell in love. Please keep the drugs and alcohol out and enjoy what you do and who you are. Can't wait until the 1st CD comes out. I missed the Queen event on AI so if anyone knows a link that is showing please let me know. Keep up the great voice Adam....

august4david

I missed the MJ special. Will it be shown again and when?

happydays

About 10 seconds into B&W was when I knew I had just seen something extraordinary--So thats when I started taping Adam only on Tuesday nights. I was glad for the Mon. night show so I could erase the original and have a tape of just Adam singing B&W--I have no entrest in seeing or hearing any of the others again..I just mute when they are on...

mugsylover

This sounds soooooooooooooo cheesy. (especially since i just posted something)
But everything happens for a reason, and we are FAR overdue for a new "king" of some type of music! Micheal Jackson has died (R.I.P.) and now there is room enough in the world for someone new to move in. I believe it could be you, Adam, that takes the ENTIRE world by storm as M.J. did. We've had two definite kings, Elvis and Micheal Jackson. could YOU be added to the list? WE can sure hope can't we, Lambert fans?

mugsylover

I Was SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO sad when I found out I missed this! I love both M.J. and Adam (as im sure many other people do) so missing this really sucked for me. Oh well, life goes on. I missed the Rolling Stones interview also!!!! I'll have to make sure to be more careful from now on.

peace.luv.adam

Adam, I found Michael Jackson so inspiring and glad that you felt the same way. I was very happy to see you talk about Michael Jackson. I am inspired by Michael Jackson b/c he is so amazing!! R.I.P, my baby, Michael Jackson.

ebonyandivory

Now I remember why I was so taken with Adam in the first place! Nobody matched his performances in those first shows! They were all so AWFUL but Adam was GREAT! And he's still GREAT! But I'll have to admit that Kris has improved. Adam is still the BEST!

Kinch

I so agree with you. The emotion on Adam's face when he realized the judges loved what he did still brings me to tears. He had tried unsuccessfully for so long to get someone to recognize his talent that I think he was a little surprised and definitely touched when someone actually did. It was even more special to watch now that Michael is gone. R.I.P. M.J.

ilove_adamlambert

I think it was so great they did that for Michael Jackson.!!

STORMYALFAN

Yes, it is so true. Glambert is indeed keeping us(myself, a grandma) young with his voice and genuineness.

All the way from Sweden

ladypump

It made me miss Adam, can't wait to see him live.
I would like to see him do Whole Lot Of Love agian.
Adam is the total package.

adamlambert01992

Rock on Adam for singing his song!

cathyrocks

Adam, I hate to say this, but I missed this during the regular season. My life is hectic and I kept forgetting until it came down to the last 3. I was so excited to see them reair this episode. I agree with you, "RIP MJ". He was a great artist and will be well missed. I hope that he saw this performance. He would have been honored by that. It was INCREDIBLE! I was so blown away by it. It was just proof early on to back up why you made it to the final. You are one very talented person. I loved watching your expressions while getting comments from the judges. The light bulb went on and you realized that you FINALLY made it. You must have been ready to jump out of your skin. OMG!!! I can't wait to see you LIVE in Michigan in August! I hope that I there's a meet and greet. You are AWESOME and SEXY, too!!!

lovemyhorse

grandma e says it all , i second that! stay true adam and dont get caught up in
anything! love you!

lovemyhorse

that was my favorite song! well one of them, they are all my favorite!

seen in a long time! i cant wait to see his new music and i will buy anything! he
ever puts out1 i love you adam! you are the sexiest guy i have ever seen! and the
most talented! you rock ! i listen to this in my truck all the time ,, and mad world is
awsome! wow, i cant say enough about it, i just recently got a divorce and since i

is to watch you and everything is great! thanks for that... no im not weird just in love
with you. for now that is all i need, dont know if a nother guy can even compare to you
wow, i have got it bad for you
deb in tulsa ok

Betris

If anyone hasn't figured out all the big "hoopla" surrounding Adam they only need to watch this performance. Wow. I felt like a teenager, a lovestruck fan and a proud parent all at once.
He is simply awesome.

grandma E

How great it was to see you perform again...Didn't need a reminder as to your talent, but sure was good to see you...Waiting just like everyone else that loves you for that 1st CD...All of us grandmas in the south are so taken by you that any chance we get to see or hear you, we jump on...Just be careful Adam, and don't ever lose the "perfect" you, that you are...So many of our musical idols got caught up in all the hoop-la through the years, turned to drugs and or drinking and died way too young....Just stay true to yourself, believe in family and all of us who love you...Your talent is soooo amazing and the world needs someone like you to keep us all young...Love you Adam....Grandma E

darkangel1114

Again and again and again (my jaw just drops.. LOL).. whatever Adam performs, i simpLy adore! I love him!!!

J9er

OMG...just a gentle reminder that they should've crowned you the King at that very moment! Watching the emotion on your face while Paula was commenting brought tears to my eyes. It was the first time it ever looked like you were going to cry! My 10 year old daughter & I just wanted to hug you. We are both so proud of you (she says I'm obsessed, oh well), and we cannot wait to see you in Atlantic City! Best wishes for a successful tour, and we cannot wait for your album. My only Brother shares your B'day, so I told him he was destined for stardom!!! Your rise to the top has taken the blow out of Michael's passing (who I LOVED), so now we have you to adore!!
With much love,
Janine (J9)
