Oh, TiVo. You let us down again.

American Idol ran a little bit over last night and those watching it on TiVo were horrified to find that the last minute or so of Adam Lambert's performance was cut off.

No worries. We got your backs. Above is the full performance of frontrunner Adam's chilling performance of "Mad World," originally written and performed by Tears for Fears in 1982 and covered in this Adam sort of way by Gary Jules for the Donnie Darko soundtrack in 2003.

Check out Gary's rendition in the music video below to hear the comparison.
