****NOTE: Sorry for not updating – I had a busy weekend! It was my daughters birthday Saturday and I had to put my Wilton cake decorating skills to work for the special cake she wanted me to make for her (came out cute!), we had a nice visit with my aunt yesterday in celebration of my daughters birthday {smiles},  AND my 13-year-old kitty is sick and not gonna make it (Update: he died tonight – Monday)(I have nine cats, two dogs, and a turtle). Been spending time with him, too. Will tweak this post later (I know – its layed out like crap) and add more video’s, and update the Adam news, too. For now….enjoy these Adam performances!

Here are all of the Idol performances from the audition to the most current extravaganza! Please feel free to post your comments! Thanks! ENJOY!

 

It all started with the Hollywood audition and Adam WOW’ing the judges!

 

Adam auditioned for the judges singing Queen’s “Bohemian Rhapsody” and sounded absolutely awesome! Now, I heard Adam talking about this audition in a Confessional video and he said that before going in he had drank an energy drink to wake up a bit after the hours and hours of waiting. When he got inside, besides the energy boost he also had nervous energy and started the song too high. He asked to start again. I guess the below video is of the second take?

 

 

During Hollywood Group Week Adam sang “Some Kind of Wonderful.” Adam’s voice really stood out.

 

 

Adam sang “Believe” by Cher. Again, his voice is awesome.

 

 

Adam sings “Satisfaction” by The Rolling Stones. Wow! I like this better than the original! Adam really knows how to make songs current and turn them up a few notches! YES!

 

 

Adam made the Top 13!

 

During MICHAEL JACKSON week he sang “Black or White” and totally blew the audience and judges away with his comfort, stage presence, and incredible voice!

 

 

GRAND OLE OPRY. It’s COUNTRY WEEK!! ha ha ha …. Adam wasn’t taking this lightly as his response was “eewwooooooh” ! To stick with who he is as an artist he found a different rendition of Johnny Cash’s song “Ring of Fire”. Some country fans were put off BUT most of us just LOVED Adam’s cover version!!

 

 

MOTOWN WEEK Adam sang Smokey Robinson’s “Tracks of my Tears.” Ryan says, “You think you got this guy figured out? — You don’t.” Not everyone can go unplugged … but Adam can! Adam’s rendition touched the hearts of all who watched and listened. He toned down the look to a suit, nixed the nails, and slicked the hair to fit the tenderness of the song. People everywhere were very impressed … and so was Smokey as he started the standing ovation from his seat in the audience! Paula and Kara followed as well! Adam – you’re so sweet and awesome ) … and I love your cute little teeth, too lol

 

TOP DOWNLOADS Week Adam sang “Play That Funky Music” by Wild Cherry. This performance was a lot of fun!

 

BIRTH YEAR week (1982) had Adam singing an AWESOME “Mad World” originally by Tears for Fears, but Adam’s version covered the Gary Jules cover. SIMON even gave Adam the first ever standing ovation!!!!!!!! WOW!! GO ADAM!

 

 

CINEMA week Adam sang “Born to be Wild” by Steppenwolf and totally rocked the stage! He had a lotta fun with this! Paula loved it, and Simon said the vocals were “incredible!” He got his haircut, too, and looks adorable. lol

 

It’s DISCO Week! Adam sang Yvonne Ellman’s “If I Can’t Have You” from the Saturday Night Fever Soundtrack. He said he’d already done a disco song (Funky Music) and wanted to now do a song he “…can connect to emotionally.” I must’ve listened to this song sixty times by now and WOW – what a POWER BALLAD! UNBELIEVABLE! I just can’t get enough!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

RATPACK – BIG BAND week featuring the music of Sammy Davis Jr, Dean Martin, and some other guy (lol). Jamie Fox mentored the group. Adam singing “Feeling Good” originally sung by Sammy Davis Jr., but also sung by Nina Simone which Adam covered. Adam was good, as usual. Loved, loved, loved that he wore a different suit than everyone else. That he stood out – made an impression. Unique. Sexy. Awesome. ) LOVED that he got a FLAT STANLEY in the audience!!!!!
