Adam Lambert is in Sydney, Australia for Mardi Gras and also the Gay & Lesbian Mardi Gras there on Saturday.

Gotta love how the guyliner matches the outfit.-Dr.FB

Even in the movie “School of Rock”, Jack Black couldn’t pull off a cool cameo like this one.

Yesterday, Adam Lambert stopped in at Belvedere Middle School in East Los Angeles, where he surprised 45 lucky Contemporary Rock class students with a Q&A chat and this fun, jam session. Adam sang a scaled down version of his hit “Whatya Want From Me”, backed by musicians from the class.

Adam’s visit was part of his ongoing efforts to champion music education programs in public schools. He recently rallied his fans to help raise $300,000 to fund musical instruments for needy schools.

A+ Mr. Lambert! -Dr.FB

The Grammys last night had a problem.  Actually, they had a lot of problems and I am about to address some of them right now.

First of all, the Grammys need to follow the Golden Globes lead and what the Oscars have done for years and that is go LIVE around the United States and the World.  We are living in an Internet world where people use Twitter and Facebook to converse and we have friends in different states that are watching it live while we wait for 3 hours, but we see them tweet about performers and awards. 

As we become more advanced, the need for LIVE shows is more important.  Trust me, people on the West Coast get screwed on finding out the results of American Idol as well. 

The Grammys were so heavy on commercials that it made me wish I DVR’d them instead of wanting to watch them live.  That was some lameness right there.  You don’t have a host so it cut down on time, but it doesn’t help when we are getting 15 minutes an hour of commercials. 

 If you guys are so strapped for cash then maybe you need to come up with this: “Here is the Best New Artist Award, brought to you by Target.  Target.  Where you get crap for less.”  I mean you are already commercialized so much any way, we wouldn’t really notice and then you would not have to go to a break so quickly.

Another thing is Adam Lambert got so much crap from censors about his performance at the American Music Awards.  You want to know what is more annoying to me?  When the Black Eyed Peas are performing and you hear about 10 seconds of dead audio because they just had to curse.  That was sooooo 1993. 

The Lil Wayne, Eminem and Drake performance was even worse.  It is not enjoyable at home and I am ALL about artistic expression but B.E.P. and Em, Wayne, and Drake, your performances were straight booty because you not being professional enough to keep it clean for TV.  It is the most annoying thing to not have audio for that long.  Can’t you think of other words that rhyme with duck or lit or pucker?  Come on now.  Show your versatility.

Lastly, the Grammys gave out a BUNCH of awards before the show.  Taylor Swift’s first ever Grammy was given before the show aired.  We missed her excitement.  Lady Gaga did not win any awards on the telecast but actually won 2 before the show.  Maxwell won R & B male but we did not see it.  Jay Z won two awards for D.O.A. and Eminem won for best rap album but we did not know.

Toby Keith talked about the grammys not giving Country music respect.  Sorry, but  for R & B music and Rap music categories to be ignored the way they have is horrible. 

A message to the Grammys, the MTV Awards, The American Music Awards, the TV networks and Award show producers need to figure this out and make some changes or the Grammys next year won’t be in my home, they can go home.-Dr.FB

Here is the new video from Adam Lambert “Whataya Want From Me” and he has toned it down since his last video, which was his first video.

What do you think of “Whataya Want From Me” By Lambert?-Dr.FB

Here is the Barbara Walters interview with Adam Lambert on the 10 Most Fascinating People of 2009.

Rihanna, Adam Lambert, John Mayer, Taylor Swift, Pete Wentz, Mariah Carey & Sheryl Crow showed up for the VEVO launch.

Vevo is going to be a video service between Universal Music & Google.  Adam Lambert performed at the event. So far, Universal has pulled videos from youtubebut put them on their Vevo channel. 

No word yet on when or if videos will start being on google.com exclusively soon.-Dr.FB

Eminem has dropped a new song “Elevator” and the beat is hot but the lyrics are not.

Em covers ground he covered 8 years ago and changed a word that rhymes with “maggot” and did 8 years ago much better.  I love Eminem and I thought by now, he would have moved on in the sense of more grown up lyrics and he hasn’t.

Bringing up Adam Lambert does not make it current when you still bring up Lance Bass.  Maybe Eminem needs more beef with Mariah because at least while still being a sharp lyricst, his lyrics at least had a bite instead of a bark.

 The ban from ABC of Adam Lambert appears to be lifted. Well, at least for one performance.  The American Idol contestant will appear on “The View” on December 10th.

He will do an interview and a performance on the talk show.  I have a feeling ABC wants a public apology from him on their own network.  I am sure he will get it but I still don’t think it will change him not being on Jimmy Kimmel or ABC’s new years Rockin Eve with Dick Clark.

What do you think of ABC’s about face on letting him back on the network?  Glambert?  More like Lamebert lately.-Dr.FB

The “backlash” over Adam Lambert’s American Music Award performance continue. ABC has pulled him from their New Years Eve special and Jimmy Kimmel.

Adam says he is not mad at the network or Kimmel and says it is due to FCC pressure.  Adam will be performing on Leno later this month so obviously, NBC is either not feeling the pressure or is just not bucking down.

Maybe in hindsight, it wasn’t the smartest thing to pull what he pulled at the AMA’s.  It now seems the FCC has it’s new posterboy for wardrobe malfunctions by going after performers who go “off script” as they are calling it.

ABC will now have artists sign contracts they will stick to what they do during rehearsal. I champion artistic expression and this seems lame. It proves all it takes is one person to change things for everyone.  Sometimes, not the result everyone wanted.-Dr.FB

Adam Lambert was on Ellen telling his side of the story of the American Music Awards performance and said MAYBE it wasn’t the best thing to do as a 2nd impression for people who saw him on American Idol.

Now, was he being sincere or is this damage control? What do you think?-Dr.FB
