American Idol’s Adam Lambert may sing at the Academy Awards – on ABC.
Lambert’s soundtrack song “Time For Miracles,” is rumored to be up for a nomination, and that means Lambert would take the stage on national network TV, in front of a global audience once again.
Lambert, whose phenomenal voice has earned him international attention, has been on damage control since his controversial, sexually charged performance at the American Music Awards three weeks ago.
Although he has been everywhere in the media, his album sales have dropped dramatically and Lambert is trying to refashion his public image to focus on the talent, not the persona.
Talk about “Time for Miracles.”
There’s a chance Adam Lambert could end up performing that very song on the Oscars, which will air on ABC — the very network that’s banned Lambert for his raunchy on-camera behavior.
Lambert, the “American Idol” favorite, sings “Time for Miracles” on the soundtrack of the big-screen movie, “2012,” an apocalyptic, end-of-the-world thriller starring John Cusack and Danny Glover.
And while Oscar nominations won’t be announced until Feb. 22, there’s always the chance that “Time for Miracles” can get an Oscar nod — meaning Lambert could perform it on-air March 7 when ABC airs the Oscars (with co-hosts Alec Baldwin and Steve Martin).
Adam Shankman’s Twitter followers, that’s who. The Oscarcast producer last weekend solicited show-planning suggestions from his 48,000 devotees, sparking a torrent of feedback and burgeoning transparency that — according to at least one report — isn’t making the Academy terribly comfortable. But with the downmarket promise wielded by solicitations like, “So weird question; would u watch the oscars with more exitement [sic] if I cast some sytycd dancers if there are musical #s,” who wouldn’t want to see just how far the hoi polloi can influence Hollywood’s grandest show?
They’re the viewers Oscar’s courting, after all, tweeting back to Shankman en masse with replies like: “I will watch the Oscars no matter what, but my excitement factor will be ten-fold if you have SYTYCD alumns in the show.,” “If Rob and Kristen present an award together, or even just Kristen since she wasn’t invited (rude!) last yr, I’d 4 sure watch,” and more than a few calls for a Lambert performance. The people have spoken, though good luck with that on ABC.

Sadly “Time For Miracles” does not qualify for a nomination – or at least, I am told so. Idol was good for Adam… miss that quality for him. Best of luck and smooth sailing to all of you.
