Let the party begin! Adam and guests including Barbara Eden (I Dream of Jeannie), Fergie, Kelly Osbourne, Bill Clinton, Carmen Electra and Elton John are set to participate in the 21st Life Ball “Fighting Aids and Celebrating Life” at the Hofburg Palace in Vienna, Austria. It is said to be the biggest Aids charity event in Europe. This year’s theme is 1001 Nights and Adam is to be “Ali Baba” and sing the theme song “Love Wins Over Glamour” to open the show. Enjoy the extravaganza that seems especially suited to “love to dress up” Adam. Look for the single to be available on iTunes as in previous years.

    Why is it when I click on the performance video above by Carinaa2012 I get the photo of Adam & Barbara Eden?

    Oops! My bad! When I embedded the photo I ended up not posting it properly. The image was left to be linked to any video after it.
    It is now fixed so you can click on the performance videos and actually see the performance.

    This is a cool fan vid with good sound that show how sparkly Adam’s costume actually was and what the performance looked like from the floor, fairly close to the stage:

    Well now we know who the designers were. And nkd was right about the red carpet coat! Nice work nkd!!

    I just can’t get over how spectacular Adam’s Ali Baba coat and turban were. Well the whole outfit, really. Just amazing.

    Glad to have the coat issue resolved! It didn’t make sense to me that Adam would basically be left to bedazzle his own coat for something so massive.
    So now back to my original question: does he get to keep it?
    Did he offer to buy it?
    Are we gonna see it again?
    Question

    I still think it’s the sleepwalker coat and maybe Marco Marco did the bedazzling ….or his “people”did. Marco Marco might have designed where the jewels should go and the general look of the coat.

  13. JOJOSIE says:
    05/27/2013 at 11:35 am

    I googled Marco Marco and he’s a Los Angeles costumer. He does tours and red carpet for many top liners. I’m sure he probably did the SleepWalker coat so it wasn’t hard to duplicate it in the coat that Adam wore as Ali Baba. It probably belongs to him or Adam. It was for a Charity so it may have even been a donation.

    @lori_alexis it was strictly for life ball – never to be worn again! It was a special evening

  15. nkd says:
    05/27/2013 at 1:57 pm

    I’m with luval, I still think it’s the Sleepwalker coat with the embellishments added.
    Marco Marco did the blue drip embellishing to Adam’s black coat he wore on Divas, and I think some of the other pieces also.
    I don’t see Adam having the same coat made again.

    Geez, a possibility of no itunes I think. Doesn’t really make sense because of the money it would generate for the cause. But maybe that’s what they have decided.

    I did download this (without talking) and have it on my ipod now, but it would be nice to have a professional studio recording.

    From Shoshanna about LWOG: Adam won’t perform the song again, but whether or not it gets offered up for purchase is up to the Life Ball folks.

    Anu ‏@Anushka_HL
    @shoshannastone wish to c @adamlambert at the CSD in Germany. Would be great promo for #lwog

    shoshanna stone ‏@shoshannastone 2h
    @Anushka_HL the song was especially for lifeball. It won’t be on adam’s album, so he won’t be doing promo.

    Anu ‏@Anushka_HL
    @shoshannastone ok, thanxs. just wish Adam to be in Germany Wink

    shoshanna stone ‏@shoshannastone
    @Anushka_HL just want you guys to understand that this is not adam’s single

    Anu ‏@Anushka_HL 2h
    @shoshannastone sure. I will survive it! XD

    Q3 ‏@Quu3
    @shoshannastone I think most fans know it is not his single but will it be offered for sale like past Life Ball songs?

    Pots of Gold Wont Do ‏@My_intuition69
    @shoshannastone Adam tweeted it was specifically for lifeball and short lived but on YouTube. Contradicting lifeball. @ALAlwayz @Anushka_HL

    shoshanna stone ‏@shoshannastone
    @Quu3 lifeball are working that out, it’s up to them

    shoshanna stone ‏@shoshannastone
    @My_intuition69 @ALAlwayz @Anushka_HL he wasn’t referring to purchase. He meant he wouldn’t perform it again, it was for lifeball only

    Been showing the pic of Adam and Barbara Eden to people here at work and everyone just loves it! It seems to give Adam credibility that he’s photographed with her. I explain what the gala ball is…who was there (Bill Clinton always makes people’s mouths gape open. ) Explain the theme of 1001 Arabian nights, that Adam had the opening number as Ali Baba, etc. etc.

  37. luval says:
    05/28/2013 at 1:13 pm

    I love that video, Ultimathule. She’s a Russian opera singer??? I mean it doesn’t show much but it says a lot I think.

  38. Calgary says:
    05/28/2013 at 1:45 pm

    luval Anna Netrebko is in the stratosphere of opera singers, one of the very best, young and gorgeous with a spectacular voice, sings at the Met, and known to all who love opera. I hope Adam got to meet her!

  39. ultimathule says:
    05/28/2013 at 1:51 pm

    Yes, Calgary – of all the people there, Netrebko is the one I hope he met.
