2012 stars John Cusack and Amanda Peet talk about Adam Lambert's 'Time for Miracles'

Tuesday night, at the Los Angeles red-carpet premiere for "2012" — that most disastrous of all disaster movies — Adam Lambert told reporters that he feels honored to have contributed "Time for Miracles" to the film's soundtrack. So how do the film's stars feel about it?

"I love him," Amanda Peet told MTV News of the "American Idol" runner-up. "I love him. I love him."


John Cusack, meanwhile, was less honored than amusingly confused when asked about the man known as Glambert. "I have no clue," he confessed. "No, I've seen 'American Idol.' They have the guy, Dr. Sanjay Gupta. He was on that, right? Anderson Cooper won a few times."

Well played, Cusack! Peet wasn't able to play it nearly as cool the one and only time she had the opportunity to meet Lambert, at the "2012" premiere. "I said 'Hi,' but by the time I said 'Hi,' he was already walking past, and I was walking this way, and it was too late to accost him because he had already gone by," the actress laughed. "Which is probably a good thing."

Like Cusack, director Roland Emmerich had never heard of Lambert before his involvement with "2012." Emmerich was busy filming during the past "Idol" season, and he never watches TV anyway. But he liked the song, and a Sony exec showed him some YouTube videos of Lambert, suggesting he'd be a good fit to sing it.

"I said, 'Oh, my God, what an incredible voice,' " the director told MTV News.

So, Lambert recorded "Miracles," which became his post-"Idol" debut as well as a bonus track on his major-label debut, For Your Entertainment, which hits on November 23, 10 days after the release of "2012."

Peet can't wait to hear the tracks. "I'm excited," she said with a grin.

Adam Lambert feels Honored to be on the 2012 Soundtrack

It's a big month for Adam Lambert. He's releasing his debut album, For Your Entertainment, on November 23, which is just 10 days after "2012" hits movie theaters. This isn't exciting news for Lambert because he's a big fan of disaster flicks, but instead because his song "Time for Miracles" appears on the movie's soundtrack.

At the Los Angeles premiere of the film on Tuesday night, he told reporters how great it felt to be asked to contribute to the film's soundtrack since it was long before he had started work on his debut LP.

"I really feel honored that they came to me and asked me. I think it's obviously a risk on their part because this was before any sort of album had been completed or hardly even started," he said. "So for them to ask me, it shows faith. It really made me feel good and gave me a lot of confidence."

Late last month, the video premiered for the song. In it, Lambert makes his way through an apocalyptic world while mugging for the camera and belting out the show-stopping tune. "[Rob] pushed me to the limit. I sang for my life," Lambert said about working with producer Rob Cavallo on the song, which was written by Alain Johannes and the late Natasha Shneider.

Lambert dons his best Goth clothes and anguished face in the video as he makes his way through disaster scene after disaster scene, as everyone around him flees falling buildings and debris raining down from a fiery sky. Despite the fact that the world is coming to an end around him, Lambert looks triumphantly straight into the camera and sings about not giving up on a lost love.

Adam Lambert Performing at 2009 American Music Awards

Adam Lambert will perform at the 2009 American Music Awards. The announcement of Adam Lambert's 2009 AMA performance came from the singer himself on the radio this morning. While appearing on Ryan Seacrest's radio show, he Lambert let the world know that he would be performing a song at the 2009 American Music Awards in November. The date of the 2009 AMA's is November 22nd, and we can now add Adam Lambert to the long list of performers on that night. Even if there are a dozen people performing during the 2009 AMA's, it's an easy bet to say that Adam Lambert could be one of the most popular artists appearing on the show.

This is really good news for fans of Adam Lambert, because it will probably be the first live performance of his new single due out shortly. This new Adam Lambert single is going to be off of his first album, and though the album hasn't even been released in stores yet, it has sparked a ton of interest from fans online. This is really Adam Lambert just teasing his fans as well, because he won't even name the track that he is going to be performing. It's possible that he hasn't quite decided which song to perform, but he did note that it won't be Time for Miracles which will be featured in the upcoming movie 2012.

This announcement by Adam Lambert is probably single-handedly going to improve the ratings for the 2009 AMA's and ABC made a really smart decision by getting Adam Lambert to do the show this year. It's one of those things that is going to benefit both the performer and the network, as millions of Adam Lambert fans will be tuning in to see him for the first time since he left the American Idol stage. It will be interesting to see if other artists suddenly decide that they want to perform at the 2009 AMA's as well, knowing that the audience share is about to increase with this latest announcement. It's going to be a big Adam Lambert party on November 22nd, and the audience gets a free front row seat.

Adam Lambert's first album is going to be released on Tuesday, November 24th in stores, and this awards show is going to give him the perfect place to advertise one of his new songs. The song that he performs will most likely be the first single off of the album, so it should be on radio rotations by the time the 2009 AMA's get started. That still won't keep people from tuning in though, because the best part about seeing Adam Lambert perform is the on-stage show that is sure to happen. Now we just have to wait for Sunday, November 22nd to roll around so that we can see what he has planned for ABC that night.
