Adam Lambert: Chabad Idol

More entertainment as we climb and climb and climb to reach 4,563,472 Twitter followers. Just click here. Big prize for the 4,000,000th person, by the way. Current total: 1381. I think we've turned a corner.

But now for the entertainment. This year's AMERICAN IDOL runner-up, Adam Lambert performed on the 2004 Chabad Telethon. Not as much fun as Jon Voight prancing around in a yarmulke every year but still a crowd pleaser. And the best part is that after the song, co-host Mindy Sterling asks if Adam will sing at her kid's bar mitzvah. What an honor!

So as you sign up for my Twitter tweets, here's Adam Lambert. I wonder how his version of Ring of Fire would go over with this crowd.

I loved the article in Rolling Stone about him where he talks about how he decided to try out for A.I. Apparently he was trippin' balls at "Burning Man" or "Coachella", can't remember which, but the psychedelic Gods told him it was his destiny.

Don't think Kelli Pickler or Clay Aiken came to their decision that way.

Sorry Ken, I won't twitter, but I made it through at least half of the Lambert video. Is there an award for that?

Sorry Ken, Not a tweet type person...

Chabad Telethon is shot over on my Soundstage each September. It's my guilty pleasure to wander over to the Stage on my lunch hour and listen to the band practice on Friday afternoon (before sundown, of course). The best part of Chabad, the band...and the dancing. ;-)

I managed to get through the whole clip, it actually wasn't bad.

You're up to 1447. I think everyone is waiting for the last minute so they can be the one to put you over the top. Yeah, that must be it.

Only made it through the first third of the Lambert performance. Maybe if he'd been wearing his Metallica outfit...

Best unintentionally funny line ever:

"Rabbi, a tote!"

Too bad you're all too smug to listen till the end of the song starting at 3:18. This sweet boy, then 22 years old, brought extraordinary life to a crappy play, The Ten Commandments with the horrible Kilmer, that was universally panned except for his performance (this song Is Anybody Listening). His vocal skills have been praised by opera experts after his 17 years of hard disciplined work brought him to his current fame. Sadly, this blogger is ALSO taking advantage of Adam Lambert to get hits on his blog by reposting an OLD STORY from the ceremony that has been published this year many times on the internet. Shame on you all.
