Adam Lambert when he got the news of Michael Jackson's death

Adam Lambert shared his memories of dancing around his parents house, lip-synching to "Beat it". He was very infuenced by "Thriller", and said that "Rock with you" was his first American Idol audition song, which impressed Paula Abdul.

Lambert was rehearsing for the American Idol Live tour. He was singing "Whole Lotta love" when Lil Rounds ran into the room and said whispered something to the producer. "And we were all like 'what's going on?'" Lambert says. "I kept singing and looked over at them with a confused look on my face and one of the producers mouthed to me, 'Michael Jackson just died'. I went, 'what?' and stopped singing. Everybody just stopped."

Idol rehearsals were canceled for the rest of the day, and the Season Eight crew took pains to avoid any negative press about the King of Pop, a they digested the news. "What he was capable of as a showman, and what he brought to the world, outshone any of that," he says.
