The backstage press area at L.A.’s Staples Center the day of the Idols Live concert just may have been THE most chaotic setting in which I have ever conducted–or attempted to conduct–an interview. It seemed like every Hollywood media type who’d ever so much as TiVo’d half an episode of American Idol was there, all at once, all interviewing all 10 Idols at the same time. It was pitchy in that noisy room!

And of course, the room’s buzz only grew buzzier when superstar Adam Lambert sashayed through the door (he and Kris Allen were the last to arrive). Everyone understandably wanted a piece of the Glamerican Idol, but luckily I got him first, before the media frenzy became too crazy.

Naturally, one of my main concerns was that Adam be heard over the din. This meant maneuvering my internally-mic’d camera quite near his famous face, which rendered him a little skittish (a rarity for this confidence king!) and resulted in some pre-interview joking during which he vainly cowered from my tight-focused camera lens. But Adam needn’t have worried: As you see from the clip below, he looked as fabulous as always. His makeup was impeccably applied and he was more than ready for his closeup.

So once we agreed on a suitably flattering camera angle, Adam and I enjoyed a quick pre-concert chat that, at one point, thrillingly included him singing me a snippet of his unofficial “theme song.” (See video below of his “theme song”) I’ll never hear that sexy tune again without thinking of The Glambert…and my guess is neither will his fans.

Here’s the video of our conversation; I’ve also included a handy transcript of the entire interview to help you follow along, in case the audio isn’t great…although Adam is quite audible because his theater background has definitely taught him how (in his own words) to “project”:

(Below is the transcript of the all important mentioned of Singapore – so if Adam’s album goes stratospheric… he WOULD COME DOWN to SINGAPORE???)

REALITY ROCKS: It seems like this is the most internationally watched season of Idol; I’m getting a lot of tweets from a lot of people in places like Singapore and Mexico that want you to come over. Do you think there’s any chance that maybe this American Idol Tour will go to other countries?

ADAM: I don’t think the American Idol Tour is going to go to other countries, but hopefully when my album comes out in the fall, we will end up releasing worldwide. That is kind of something we’ve been talking about. So if that’s the case, and if it does well, maybe I’ll come there for a concert!
