Watch: Adam Lambert in 'Time for Miracles' Video
Here's the video for Adam Lambert's "Time for Miracles", which splices shots of Lambert strolling amid apocalypse with scenes from the film's ridiculous destructo-porn trailer.
Watch (while you can - I'll try to replace if it gets pulled), AFTER THE JUMP...

The video is just ok, but then again I've never really been a fan of the scene-splice videos.
Adam looks different... less eyeliner maybe?

I could stay awake just to hearing you breathing, watch you smile while you are sleeping...while you're far away...
Do you think that's the director of the video telling him to ham it up and be over dramatic for the camera, or is that all Adam?

Well if the song gets nominated for an academy award we'll get to Glambert sing at the Oscars!

Team Adam, love this boy and OTT Rock Ballads!

I'm pretty sure that the director told him to stick with OTT, it is for a cheesy end of the world movie after all. Besides, I seriously doubt the director would stay silent on anything he didn't like.
I liked it. It was a fluff piece, not really meant to be deep, just fun. Glad that they cut out 20 seconds of the song. Seemed to help the flow of music.

It's beginning to seem that anything associated with the movie 2012 is cursed to be a hot mess. A good song performed well by Adam Lambert but a bizarre, laughable video!

Thanks for posting this. It's a nice song, but there's no way in hell I'll see the movie. Roland Emmerich keeps getting more and more ridiculously over the top with his movies. How many times can you movies about the end of the world, anyway?

Roland Emmerich and Michael Bay suffer from Tiny Penis Syndrome, and their movies are the equivalent of red convertible sports cars.
It's a shame someone as talented as Adam Lambert is remotely associated with this mess.
As for the Glamberts predicting an Academy Award? Get a grip, Mary! Have you never watched the Oscars? The Academy wouldn't nominate a Roland Emmerich movie for Best Gaffer.

I said it all through AI but I can't stand watching Lambert perform. His music and voice are OK but his 'look' and his drama performances sets my teeth on edge.

I am so glad that other people here are appalled or turned off by "2012." Destructo-porn indeed. Not my idea of entertainment. And the song is indeed a rehash of Aerosmith's "Don't Wanna Miss A Thing," despite Adam's go-for-broke vocals and performance. Love him, neutral on the song, hate the movie and won't see it. 'Nuff said.

HATED IT

Did they do the Ann Wilson treatment in this video? Lambert looks kinda...i don't know...elongated - like Heart videos from the 1980s.

OF COURSE, YOU NEVER LIKED ADAM. HYPOCRITE!!!!

Video shoots are long and tedious with hours under hot lights. I am surprised that a ham can stay that fresh looking.

Movie.....nah, Adam.....hell yeah

If Adam was heterosexual, gay men would write how nice it is he can be dramatic and let his guard down and how beautiful the movie looks. But this is a gay man so there is nothing he can do to reach some gay men's level of satisifaction because the standard is always pushed out of reach for gay men.

It's an ok song suited for his voice. He sang it well. Agree with the comparisons to the Aerosmith song.
not a bad first single. probably won't win any new fans, don't see him losing any, either.

"The Academy wouldn't nominate a Roland Emmerich movie for Best Gaffer."
As much as I wish I could agree with you, reality doesn't.
Roland Emmerich film have been nominated for five Academy Awards (The Patriot - Score, Cinematography, Sound Design & Independence Day - VFX, Sound Design) and even won the VFX Oscar for Independence Day.
That having been said, with the redesigned Best Song voting and limited nominations, Lambert doesn't stand a great chance of getting an Oscar nom. Even Springsteen was too mainstream for them last year. If they have a full five on the ballot this year, he'll easily make it. Three would be tougher, but who knows if anyone will get nominated this year.

Sheesh.. When will this tiresome Joanne Worley impersonator go away already?
I'm so over hearing about this queen. I'm glad he's achieved some level of fame and I hope he's a successful commercial singer, I'm just sick of him being praised and splattered all over the place as if he's the second coming of the Beatles.
This is what American Idol and its white trash fans have wrought on us, and that's bigger than any tired disaster porn film we'll ever see.

An instant hit. Good job Adam, looking forward to more hits!
Posted by: Misha | Oct 21, 2009 4:28:50 PM
Damn, Aaron... you are right! I guess I did know that Independence Day won Best Visual Effects that year. I'm just blocking it from my memory!

Bill, didn't you write the same type of shit in another post about a straight actor?
You're either a one trick pony or just a horse's ass.
Posted by: Tralfaz | Oct 21, 2009 4:47:18 PM
Uh JAN, honey. If you're so sick of La Adam .. don't read shit about him. No one is holding a gun to your bouffant.
Posted by: Tralfaz | Oct 21, 2009 4:50:13 PM
This is one bandwagon I'm not jumping on. Totally mediocre song, crap movie, talented but perenially overwrought vocalist. I'm all about supporting gay artists, but the level of hype surrounding Adam Lambert is really getting ludicrous.
Posted by: Andy | Oct 21, 2009 4:55:03 PM
Seriously, what is with all of the Hater-ade on this post about an out gay man that is making some pretty great music and just trying to be himself.
Either he missed the memo that he needed to try to be all things to gay men or he just doesn't give a crap, I'm gong with the latter.
This song has been at Amazon's #1 since it debuted and is at #9 on the itunes chart as of right now.
