Dish #40 - Epic disaster?

The Dish: The AMA performance by Adam Lambert last night was a true disappointment. The live singing was sub-par, his choreographed dance routine was boring and awkward at the same time. I was waiting for it to end. Adam can do better than this. The cheering and clapping at the end of the performance (or lack thereof) proved that I'm not the only one who thought the performance was lacklustre. The performance style channelled a bit of Lady Gaga but wasn't half as interesting as her 'Bad Romance' music video. He didn't push it far enough to be completely 'out there' so it just felt like I was watching crappy dancing at a gay club. Plus, on top of everything else, the single 'For Your Entertainment' is just not very good is it? Fine. It is actually terrible. I loved Adam during his American Idol days. I still think he is very talented and has lots of potential. Perhaps it's time for Adam to hang out with more talented people than Katy Perry...? But to be completely fair, the first 25 seconds of his performance was decent, that is before all the backup dancers and flashing strobe lights showed up.

Dish #39 - Sexy, Sultry, Glam.

The Dish: I admit I have been slacking off and there is just so much to catch up on.

First up: This is just in. People Magazine has claimed their new annual king of sexiness, Johnny Depp, who succeeds last year's sexiest man alive Hugh Jackman. Yay?

Gossip sings: As some of you may know, I am seriously into Gossip Girl at the moment. Thus, it brings me great joy when I find out that members of the cast have extracurricular activities outside of their daily homework of acting as snotty upper-eastside teenagers with crazy sex hormones. Well, Leighton Meester, who plays stuck up Blair (btw), apparently has an upcoming album (currently still untitled). And she is joining musical forces with Lil Wayne. Um. Ok. We'll see how it goes. I will not judge until I hear something concrete. Plus, I am also disregarding her recent sultry photos taken for GQ magazine.

On the same note: Adam Lambert's album is out next Monday. It's called 'For Your Entertainment'. While it's been getting positive reviews, I'm not expecting greatness since it's his first post-Idol album. It's probably so heavily produced that he won't get much say in the music. But there are surprises in the world. I do like the single cover though. It's so Adam.

I'm out...for now.
