'American Idol''s resident guyliner-wearing showman Adam Lambert is back with his first song since nabbing runner-up honors on the show last season. Not surprising to anyone who saw Lambert's rendition of Johnny Cash's 'Ring of Fire,' his new song, entitled 'Time for Miracles,' is extremely theatrical ... which makes sense, seeing as it's the theme song for disaster-movie auteur Roland Emmerich's latest end-of-the-world extravaganza '2012.'Moviefone has an exclusive sneak peek at the song, featuring clips of Lambert belting out the tune in the studio, as well as providing the backdrop for plenty of eye-popping apocalyptic footage from the film.
Lambert's spine-tingling -- and never-pitchy, dawg -- vocals provide the perfect musical accompaniment to scenes of cities blowing up, international landmarks crumbling like sandcastles, the ocean swallowing Hollywood, and divorced dad John Cusack racing around the globe to save his ex-wife (Amanda Peet) and their fam from the Mayan-predicted apocalypse on Dec. 21, 2012.
The '2012' soundtrack hits stores Nov. 10, followed swiftly by the end of the world, er, release of the movie in theaters on Nov. 13.

I am thrilled that we finely have something new from Adam. He lived up to my expectation. He will be a superstar! No doubt Adam will be at the Academy Awards next year.

Academy Award is a film award.
Grammy or VMA's for Adam!

Hey Tool (jussijames) ever heard of the Academy Award for movie in a motion picture?!?!?!?!?!?! Shut the hell up if you don't know what you are talking about! And you don't!

Hey Tooless (Allyson) If your going to correct someone at least you can do is do it right. You say "Academy Award for movie in a motion picture?!" Talk about stupid. That would be "an Academy Award for best song/soundtrack in a motion picture". So we have dumb and dumber here, lol.

If Adam wins an Academy Award for "2012", it would be for best performance of a song in a drama. He didn't write the song, so he can't get it just for the song - the writer gets it. And I don't ever remember there being an Academy Award for the singer of a song in a movie - but I could be wrong.
We haven't heard the whole song yet, but I'm sure it's wonderful. I am Adam's greatest New England fan, and if his version of the song deserves it, I hope he'll get recognition!

Adam can win an Academy Award for the song I believe.

Lisa, very well said. That is EXACTLY how I feel!!! And for those crybabies who are still dissing Adam for being gay? Get over it because nobody gives a flying F!! Certainly not the MILLIONS OF US WORLDWIDE who are going to follow Adam's career until the end of time.
