2. For which of Adam Lambert's "American Idol" performances did Simon Cowell say, "You, tonight, have really emerged to me as a star."?

Answer: Tracks of My Tears

Simon and the other judges were blown away by Adam's performance of "Tracks of My Tears" in March 2009. According to Wikipedia, "Smokey Robinson, the week's mentor and the original singer-songwriter, gave Lambert a standing ovation".

3. Adam announced the nominees for the 2009 American Music Awards with two other people. Who were his co-announcers?

Answer: Paula Abdul and Snoop Dogg

The AMA nominees were announced by Adam, Paula and Snoop Dogg on October 13, 2009. Personally, I thought he looked amazing with a new hairstyle and a purple outfit that only Adam could pull off! Snoop called Adam "My main man".

Answer: Kris Allen and Allison Iraheta

Adam, Kris and Allison got through from group two, and they turned out to be good friends during their American Idol stint. Adam said in several interviews that Kris and Allison were the two he was closest to from the Top Ten.

5. One of Adam's most controversial Idol performances was "Ring Of Fire". Two of the judges absolutely loved it. Which two?

Answer: Paula Abdul and Randy Jackson

Paula, being a fan right from his audition, praised Adam's version of "Ring Of Fire", saying he set his own bar higher each week. Randy loved the Jeff Buckley take on the song, because it was "different, hot and new". Kara said it left her "confused but happy." Simon Cowell, of course, hated it.

6. Adam sang the soundtrack for the movie "2012". What's it called?

Answer: Time For Miracles

Right after "American Idol" ended, Adam was asked to do the soundtrack for disaster flick "2012". The song "Time For Miracles" is a classic rock ballad, and generated great reviews, including Oscar buzz!

7. Which one of these songs did Adam perform at the Upright Cabaret?

Answer: Come Home

Adam sang One Republic's "Come Home" at the Upright Cabaret, and did an incredible job with it. Much better than the original version, in my opinion. He sang Sam Cooke's "A Change Is Gonna Come" at the Zodiac Show before Idol, and also on the finale of Idol. He sang "Cryin'" by Aerosmith during the Top Three week of American Idol. "Come To Me, Bend To Me" was sung for the musical "Brigadoon". It's also vocally mind blowing, in my opinion.

8. Along with a medley of Bowie songs, which are the solo songs Adam sang on the American Idols Live Tour 2009?

Answer: Whole Lotta Love, Mad World, Starlight

Adam sang four solos: "Whole Lotta Love", "Mad World", "Starlight" and a medley of David Bowie songs ("Life On Mars", "Fame, and "Let's Dance"). He also did a duet with Allison, "Slow Ride". He got the loudest cheers of the night!

9. One of Adam's most famous pre-Idol performances is "Crawl Thru Fire". He wrote the song himself, but who co-wrote it with him?

Answer: Monte Pittman

Monte Pittman, Madonna's guitarist, co-wrote "Crawl Thru Fire". It was a very glam-rock performance--just the type Adam loves!

10. Who said that Adam could sing every note on the guitar, from the highest to the lowest?

Answer: Rob Cavallo

After working with Adam on his debut album, producer Rob Cavallo talked in an interview about Adam's unusually large talent. "He actually can sing every note on the guitar, from the highest to the lowest, which is very unusual. And he is really the nicest guy."
