American Idol Goes Twilight

Well sort of…Randy compared Adam Lambert to Robert Pattinson of Twilight at about the 4:40 mark in the video below. Then Ryan followed up repeating what Randy said, and Adam mentioned being a fan of the books. So being AI fans ourselves this was our reaction:

Alphie: “I KNOW!  I just about died!!!!!  I said – two years ago, NO ONE knew what Twilight was.  Now freaking Randy Jackson is talking about it on AI.  How did that happen????”

Be My Escape: “I feel like the media in general feels the need to drop Twilight/Edward Cullen into everyday conversation so they can be cool.  It is very strange.”

Pel: “I don’t know about Rob, but hello Adam…Justin Chon just called and he wants his hair back.”

In case you missed it, here’s a recap of the performance and commentary.

    randy’s comment was stupid. When i saw it on AI last night i nearly had a heart attack.
    the comparisons are completely stupid.

    Since when is robert pattinson and/or edward ANYTHING like a rocker (adam lambert) that wears black nail polish, sings rock songs by the rolling stones, and looks like he spends more time on his hair than i do.

    if you’re gonna make a comment, especially about twilight, i was hoping it would at least be reasonable

    OMG, I totally mentioned this in the comment I posted last night!!
    You should give me one of those cool “Thanks to Sarah for letting us know” things even though I obviously wasn’t the one to let you know, but still.
    That part of the comment was meant to do that.
    Lol. But yes, Adam is now my new favorite.
    I’ll actually try to watch it tonight now.

    omg. it’s all i can say. I love Adam, I love Rob, I love it all. :D

  5. Kate says:

    Oh, and I totally agree with Cappie, now I’m being put down by my friends who don’t like Twilight b/c they think it’s stupid, and that I shouldn’t like it. :( I liked it when it was much more unknown

    “now I’m being put down by my friends who don’t like Twilight b/c they think it’s stupid, and that I shouldn’t like it. ”

    Sadly, me too. =/ My best friend who /loved/ the books before is now showering me with “I hate Twilight” pins on Facebook. Ugh.

  7. Brittany C says:

    Sorry Adam, but you’re no Edward or Rob.

  8. sara says:

    omg! adam looks nothing like rob!
    roberts my husband!! :)

  9. Jodeen says:

    Pel said it best, she says everything well.

  10. Love. Bite says:

    LOL- I agree with Pel. XD

    Though I have to admit, any guy like THAT who says that he likes the Twilight books on national TV is quite alright with me. ;)

    Great job, Adam!

    (PS: Rob and Adam are in classes of their own. Please, for the love of all that is good and holy, DON’T compare them again.)

  11. Love. Bite says:

    Oh, and Be My Escape: TOTALLY agree with you.
