Adam Lambert looked like he was channeling the ghost of Ziggy Stardust on the set of the video for his latest single, "If I Had You." Filmed early Thursday morning in Los Angeles' Griffith Park, the clip looks like it will be a typically over-the-top affair with lots of elaborate costumes, face paint and a woodsy setting, where last year's "American Idol" runner-up hosts a kind of Cirque du Soleil dance party.
Before the shoot, Lambert tweeted on Wednesday, "Gearing up for an all night video shoot for 'If I Had You,' " which he followed with the tidbit, "Invited a bunch of my performer friends to cameo in the video. It's gonna be one big happy family!" Lambert, you might recall, was a frequent contributor to Los Angeles' anything-goes "Zodiac Show" before auditioning for "Idol," where he often shared the stage with circus-like performers while singing in outrageous, glitter-splashed costumes.
While a spokesperson for Lambert could not be reached for comment on the shoot, a reported casting call sent out a request for all manner of fire eaters, jugglers and twirlers for the clip, helmed by veteran director Bryan Barber (Kelly Clarkson, Christina Aguilera).
In a still released from the shoot, Lambert sports silver-and-black Kiss-style sparkly platform boots studded with metal spikes, white jeans and a white shirt underneath his signature spike-shoulder leather jacket, with a black lightning bolt painted over his left eye.
Once the shoot for the third single from his debut album, For Your Entertainment, wrapped, Lambert breathed a sign of relief, tweeting, "That's a wrap. Whew!" He added, "Big thanks to the amazing cast and crew of the 'If I Had You' music video!!"
