I thought it might be fun to have a thread where we can bring in old Adam videos or media coverage when we are salivating for new stuff.
I'll start it off with this...

After being blown away with his talent on Idol, this is the interview where I fell in love with the man behind that talent. I remember thinking as I watched it that I so wanted to sit and talk with him about music and life. And that I envied every person who calls him friend -- and I still envy them.
There are five parts to this interview - here is part 1.

Simon interview in TV Guide May 4 -10th, 2009
Volume 57, Number 18, Issue #2933-2934
After eight seasons, people still seem surprised that you’re not afraid to tell the truth.
I think a lot of [judges] worry that others will think badly of them for telling the truth, like we’re the ones in the popularity competition, which is absurd. It doesn’t really matter what people think about us, the judges. There are times when I’m sitting on the show, and I look at all the wardrobe and the stylists and the hair, and it’s just for us judges, and I think, hang on a minute. This has all gone a little out of whack here. Apart from Adam [Lambert], who sets his own agenda, I don’t think there’s anything I can tell you about any of these people, even after seven weeks. Kris [Allen] is a good example. He’s a sweet kid, good-looking. I know he’s married because he told us. Other than that, there’s not a single thing I could tell you about that boy. Nothing.
Lil Rounds was such a front-runner during the auditions. What happened?
When you get into a show like this, you become so obsessed about saving yourself and second-guessing what the public will or won’t like, you compromise yourself as an artist. “If I’m not in a sweet dress, they won’t vote for me. If I don’t sing a popular song, they won’t vote for me.” They’re singing to be saved rather than to be fantastic. The only person you genuinely feel is not doing that is Adam. He’s not going to compromise himself as a singer or an artist. He’s unpredictable and he’s fun, and I love that.
Adam also seems completely unfazed by the stories circulating about his sexuality.
Do you think America’s finally gotten beyond that?
I think people only get bothered really when they know somebody’s hiding something. [Laughs] We’ve had that in the past! We’ve obviously never had an issue with it, and nor should anybody else. It’s a huge step forward for the show. It’s just, do you like him as a person, as a singer, full stop.
He’s taking a page from David Cook’s playbook by making each song his own.
Adam’s the only one who’s done it this year. That’s why I was so frustrated with Danny [Gokey] when he did “Endless Love” with a harp. Come on! This song is 25, 30 years old, and a lot’s happened in 30 years. At least pretend to do something different to it, rather than schmaltzing it up."
HOW FAR WILL DANNY GO?
The final will be him and Adam. I think it would be a miracle for that not to happen. But I think it will be a very good final, because you've got real contrast. You've got someone who's safe and popular versus the entertainer. When you get into the final, everything changes hugely becuase now you've got the whole country focusing on just two people. And at that point, Adam would go in at a slight disadvantage.
WHY?
Danny is the safer option. He hasn't taken as many risks. So I would put it at 55/45 Danny versus Adam. But one song could change everything. We were literally gobsmacked that david Cook won.
THE GIRLS HAVE STRUGGLED SO MUCH THIS YEAR, BUT THE BIGGEST STARS FROM THE SHOW HAVE BEEN FEMALE, KELLY & CARRIE UNDERWOOD.
I've learned over the years that if you think you're going to find a star every year, think again. Are you going to find a winner? Yes,. But are you going to find a star? Absolutely not. Carrie Underwood, Leona Lewis - they were special people. Thank God they happened to walk into our shows. But you can't say that for Taylor Hicks. He never was or will be a star. He was a popular singer on a popular show. There's a difference.
CAN ADAM BE A STAR?
One hundred percent. He's somebody who should be selling records all over the world. He's that good. He could sing the phone book, and a lot of producers will want to work with him.
WHAT ABOUT DANNY?
Not so much. He's more American. He'll do very well here. But when you do a show like this, you hope you're going to find somebody so unique, so different, who can represent the show all over the world. And that's more Adam than Danny. Adam's in control of what he does, down to the nail polish. Imagine what the competition would look like without him. He's shaken everything up, this boy.
DID YOU SEE THAT FROM THE MOMENT YOU AUDITIONED HIM?
No, I didn't. I though the first time I saw him he reminded me of people who've done Broadway. - I thought he was very theatrical, and he couldn't adapt. And to be fair, it was Paula and Randy who really liked him. But during Hollywood week he turned everything around. The American public has had that same relationship with him. It took performances like "Mad World" to really establish him. And now he's got this head of steam going.
WHAT'S BEEN YOUR FAVORITE PERFORMANCE SO FAR THIS SEASON?
"Mad World" It's the only one I can really remember. I can remember Adam's Johnny Cash song "Ring of Fire" for all the wrong reasons. Having said that, I love it when a performance polarizes rather than becomes forgettable. Ninety percent of the performances over the last few weeks, I can't remember who sang what."
