Trish Kinane, president of entertainment programming at FremantleMedia North America, who happens to be the showrunner of “American Idol,” says that the final season of the popular TV show will reflect on the huge successes and amazing moments for the past 14 years.
In addition to Adam Lambert, also expected to return are the likes of Kelly Clarkson, Carrie Underwood, Jennifer Hudson, and Philip Phillips, which are expected to draw viewers to the show. There are still more alumni of “American Idol” coming back, many of them have found their success in the music industry while some others, in other endeavors.
Kinane said that success is not always judged through album sales or radio hits, citing that Kellie Pickler from “American Idol” Season 5 won the “Dancing with the Stars” in 2013 while Season 2’s Clay Aiken ran for Congress in 2014.
Adam Lambert is also sporting a new look lately where he put down a lot of the makeup and put the flat iron in the attic or his mane.
Apparently, the 33-year-old “American Idol” alum has switched fashion influences from glam divas to more traditional heartthrobs like Elvis Presley and James Dean.
The change in his look is also part of the campaign for his third album titled “The Original High” because according to him, the trends are part of his job.
Yes he does!
Adam brings an indescribable charisma and energy to the shows…not mentioning the GOd-tier vocals!
Adam Lambert will be the biggest international star from Idol. His recent performance in Brazil with Queen in front of 85,000 people was epic. American Idol gave Adam a platform, but then they allowed the cheaters in Arkansas to steal Adam’s title and tried to kill Adam’s career to validate the integrity of the show, when they were hit with backlash. The show should come clean about the 30,000,000 Conway, Arkansas votes that were assisted by the AT&T executive from Kris Allen’s university. Allowing those cheating votes to count killed the show. American Idol RIP and long live Adam Lambert.
I am actually quite happy to see the end of Idol. The show died for me after Adam’s season.
I agree about your assessment in that I was gobsmacked by Adam Lambert’s vocals + performance level. Therefore, I am glad American Idol was airing. Adam’s performance level was so high during his season that every season after his seemed lackluster & dull. I read so many times Adam Lambert broke American Idol because of what I just described. The American Idol tour that year verified our feelings, when Adam took that stage the crowd went wild. He appeared on American Idol to utilize the chance to reach people & thank you American Idol it worked`
Um, how many votes?! LOL… you people crack me up!
The performance of a rock-enhanced version of Ghost Town at Sao Paulo and Rio was the ultimate compliment from Brian and Roger. It was thrilling to hear the audience chanting Adam’s name. The Original High is pop but Adam simply shines when he sings rock and LIVE like no other. (in my humble opinion)
Adam is the one performer who has made an appearance every season since his own in some capacity, judge, mentor, singer, etc. He has always appreciated the platform that Idol has given him & he was the first to ever acknowledge the vocal coaches & band when he sang. He is a class act & the most exciting artist to ever grace the Idol stage. He raised the bar & could sing any genre of music equally to perfection. His world tour with Queen is a testament to his talent. He’ll always be my # 1 American Idol.
