Lambert At The Oscars?

I know I was very vocal in my disgust for Roland Emmerick's "2012" was even made.  I mean, how many times can this guy destroy the world?  He did this in "Independence Day," "Stargate," "Godzilla," "The Day After Tomorrow"...let's just say this is not one of my favorite directors, and this movie pained me because I know it was going to be a big hit.  What I didn't realize at the time was that Adam Lambert did a track for the movie.  Who's Adam Lambert?  Well, for those who don't know (probably very few) he was a contestant on "American Idol" last year, who was the favorite to win when he ended up coming in second in what became one of the shows (and televisions) most loud upsets.




Lambert was very flamboyant, strange, and not someone who looked like he belonged on AI.  But he also sounded great.  He had a style that blew everyone away.  Listening to his debut album "For Your Entertainment" he comes off as the new Davie Bowie, and his loss was felt by everyone who saw the show and voted for him.  But he has an original song in "2012."  It's called "Time For Miracles."  And while it doesn't has Adam's usual style it's a very good ballad.  This makes it a favorite to get an Oscar nomination.  Which...makes this interesting all of a sudden.  Wouldn't it just be the ultimate vindication if Adam Lambert, who is widely considered the guy who was most robbed on AI on the stage performing at the Academy Awards?

Not only that, what if he wins?  I can't think of any better revenge against the public for losing to Kris Allen.  Kris Allen gets an AI crown and an album that has yet to chart.  Adam Lambert gets a "out-of-the-door" hit album and an Oscar early next year.  The idea just makes you feel all warm and fuzzy inside doesn't it?

Buy Adam Lambert's "For Your Entertainment"
