At the RCA offices in LA:



Adam is EVERYWHERE!!! And RCA hasn't even started promoting him yet! A quote from the execs at RCA:
"RCA has high hopes for what it sees as the massive potential of the high-profile, flamboyant Lambert; the label will begin working a single next week."

GLEE is dying to have him on the show - this is what Lea Michele who plays Rachel Berry on the show had to say about Adam:
"I love Adam Lambert! I want to sing with him so badly," she said. "If they don't let me [sing with him] on the show, I would just in life. I just want to sing with him so badly. He's just such an incredible vocal performer, and I'm such a huge fan.

"I feel like I'd be getting to work out at the gym with the best trainer in the world," she continued. "You want to work out with someone who's ripped and is going to train you well. That's what I think about when I think of Adam Lambert. I just think he's awesome."

Adam will be performing at the American Music Awards on November 22nd, on Good Morning America and DAVID LETTERMAN November 25th and on ELLEN December 1st.

Don't forget the ALBUM comes out November 23rd!

SO MUCH exciting things happening for ADAM these days - and hopefully he'll begin TOURING in February or March of 2010! Am I excited????? Hell yeah!!!!

It's OFFICIAL - ADAM LAMBERT IS SINGLE AGAIN!

Adam Lambert: I'm "Cool" Being Single

from Us Magazine online Tuesday November 4th

Three days after Us Magazine reported that the American Idol runner-up, 27, split from interior designer boyfriend Drake LaBry, 24, he told Us he's "cool" being single. In fact, when his debut album, For Your Entertainment, comes out on Nov. 23, he plans to promote not only his music, but also himself. "I will date on tour," Lambert told Us at the 2012 premiere in L.A. Tuesday.

The singer told Us he is looking for someone who is "intelligent" and has "creativity and compassion."

Still, he has no ill will for his ex, whom he still says is a "very good friend" after their mutual decision to end the relationship. "I don't really feel like there were any mistakes made," he told Us. "I feel like things evolved. Sometimes you're on the same page with somebody, and sometimes you have to get off that page and on to another one."

A source told Us that the split was all to do with timing. "Adam is crazy busy right now getting the album done and squeezing in rehearsals," the source told Us. "They both felt this moment is too important for Adam to focus on anything else but getting this album out and having it be a huge hit."

FABULOUS, INSIGHTFUL ARTICLE ON "OUR GUY"

Adam Lambert: Cool, calm and eclectic
The singer's genre-busting major label debut, 'For Your Entertainment,' drops Nov. 23, and it just might make him an American idol all over again.

By ANN POWERS, Pop Music Critic, LA Times

Kicking off another typical seven-day work week in the offices of his management company 19 Entertainment, Adam Lambert fixed his gaze on his own pretty face. Scattered across his publicist's desk were proof sheets from a photo session with the singer, who will release his debut album on RCA Records, "For Your Entertainment," Nov. 23. The shots captured Lambert in typical glam-god poses: peacock, street tough, space oddity, freaky adventurer in the boudoir of the damned.

Lambert, who in person is none of those things but rather a startlingly grounded 27-year-old radiating Southern Californian optimism, took up a red pencil and circled a frame. "This one needs a little fix here," he said, momentarily playing art director. It's all part of one big performance for Lambert as he works to resurrect rock in the new pop age.

But hold on. When such hyperbole is thrust at him -- by, say, an overly admiring pop critic who followed him closely during last year's "American Idol" contest, when he broke ground as the most successful Idol to be rock-oriented, androgynous and gay -- he lifts a ring-laden hand to brush it away.

"I want to put it out there that I don't take myself all that seriously," he said. That's one of his mantras. "The dress-up supports that; the fantasy element supports it. People want to talk about whether I have rock cred, whether I'm selling out, the theatricality, the gay stuff. . . . Chill out! And just enjoy yourself. It's not that deep."

Then he corrected himself, slightly. "Sometimes it is deep. Some of the songs on the album are," he admitted, pointing to the song "Soaked," a sweeping epic about the loneliness of one-night stands that's actually a cover of an unreleased track from Muse, and a very serious one at that. He also singled out "Broken Open," a ballad he co-wrote, which he said is about encouraging a lover to become vulnerable enough to cry.

"But sometimes it's just, 'This is hot, I feel good, this song makes me want to go get a drink and flirt with somebody and have a good time.' Good energy is just as credible as the cathartic, dark, heavy" stuff, he said. "It's just as important!"

This might be the most exciting message Lambert carries forward into one of the most intensely observed major label debuts in recent pop history. He's reminding America that rock music can be joyful, light-spirited and sublimely silly, just as pop can explore serious subjects beyond the call to hit the dance floor. And that a rock star might also like to dance.

The Lambert way

As Lambert plays the role, a rock star doesn't have to be an angry punk, a brooding post-grunge puritan or a hair-metal style macho dude in a dress. These approaches all have their purpose, but Lambert projects something different: outrageousness that's totally at peace with itself.

He does this by connecting countercultural ideas -- values he learned as a kid touring Germany in a production of "Hair," the musical that first brought rock's spirit to Broadway -- with a trouper's sense of artistic performance as work, which takes brains and a certain sharpness as well as talent.

"His No. 1 challenge, which I think he'll pass, is stay true to himself and to roll with the punches as they come," said Rob Cavallo, who has worked with artists from Green Day to the Dave Matthews Band and produced four tracks on "For Your Entertainment." "He's going to have successes. He might have people against him. Which is exactly what happened to Elvis, the Beatles, to Prince. . . . There will be controversy, and there will be opinions. If he stays true to himself he will be one of those great artists to watch over the years."

Lambert readily admits a huge debt to David Bowie, whom he describes as "my favorite," and other glam and classic rockers such as Mick Jagger and Marc Bolan of T. Rex. (More surprisingly, he repeatedly cites both Prince and Michael Jackson.) Lambert's efforts to succeed as a rocker will hinge on his ability to tap into the legacy Bowie and those others represent. His "emo" side, linking him to bands like Fall Out Boy, also helps. But it's hard to know if the rock world -- and rock radio, in particular -- will embrace him.

"When bands like Fall Out Boy and All American Rejects first came out, they got airplay on modern-rock stations," noted Leslie Fram, a rock radio veteran who's program director of New York's 101.9 RXP FM and co-host of its morning show with Matt Pinfield. "But when they crossed over to the Top 40, it was the nail in the coffin. They went over to the pop side, image-wise, and modern-rock radio wanted nothing to do with them."

Lambert's trying something even these bands didn't attempt -- to succeed in both the rock and pop camps at once. He loves his glam, but he admits that in terms of today's stars, he has more in common with Beyoncé than with Chris Daughtry.

"People look at me and immediately say, 'Oh, he's doing the musical-theater thing,' " he said. "But if you look at most female pop stars right now, how are they any less theater? Beyoncé is doing 'Single Ladies' with two girls in character shoes and leotards, doing Fosse choreography from 'Sweet Charity,' and 'West Side Story.' "

Lambert obviously learned some of his moves from his youth in the theater, but he's also always credited the friends he made through Burning Man, the annual festival of makeshift art that turns a patch of the Nevada desert into its own magic kingdom. If "Hair" introduced him to the language of the counterculture, Burning Man showed him how people spoke it every day.

"There's a community here in L.A. that's part of Burning Man," said Lambert, a San Diego native who moved to Hollywood after high school. "It's an underground community, and when I found out about it I was so much more excited about living here. The people I was meeting were a lot more interesting, more original. And happy, just happy.

"Los Angeles can be a really sad city. If you go to the clubs you meet a bunch of people trying to be actors and not fulfilling their dreams, and they're bitter and sad. . . . But in [the Burning Man] community no one cares. You're living your life, and you feel fabulous about it, and you might be doing it on $5 a day."

Lambert is certainly enjoying his bigger budget now -- especially the "expensive, beautiful and weird" clothes -- but he seems to have preserved the perspective he gained hanging out with serious bohemians.

He does know how to play the music industry game. He raided the executive suites for collaborators on "For Your Entertainment": Its songwriters include ubiquitous hit-makers Max Martin, Ryan Tedder, Linda Perry, Dr. Luke and "Idol" judge Kara DioGuardi, and his producers include big names like RedOne and Rob Cavallo.

"Adam is unusually confident in my mind but not in a pretentious way," Tedder said in an e-mail. "He has the confidence of a guy that absolutely knows who he is to the core, both musically and personally. He spent four days in Denver working with me and was as laid back and comfortable in my studio as he was being swarmed by fans when we went to dinner. For a first-time artist, he definitely had more control creatively than I've ever seen a new act given, but Adam is the kind of person that would rather not put out anything than put out something that was less than 100% his vision."

Pinfield, Fram's co-host on WRXP and a defining force within alternative rock as an MTV host during the 1990s, thinks his eclectic approach could work for Lambert. He might have a tough time on rock radio, Pinfield said, but the singer's fans might not care.

"There was a different world before, with the rock 'n' roll thing," he said. "Today, the same kids who love the Beatles and the Stones and Zeppelin could love Radiohead, and Adam Lambert. Young people today are not as worried about being genre specific."

In the studio, Lambert enlisted hot ingénues Pink and Lady Gaga as writers while securing some of that fabled rock cred by covering material by Justin Hawkins, formerly of English glam revivalists the Darkness, and Muse, a band that he loves.

"I listen to crazy, robust rock music where they sing their faces off, and soul music, which can be similar," Lambert said. "But I also listen to a lot of dance music. I love that style. I was a Paula Abdul fan, a Michael Jackson fan, a Madonna fan. When Christina Aguilera came out when I was in high school, that was a great example of someone taking the pop-dance feel but who could really sing. Pop stars have done it; it's just not a lot of guys have done it. Maybe it's a question of masculine persona."

The singer's edge

As an openly gay man during a time when that identity has become more acceptable (in the media, at least), Lambert starts with a surprising advantage over apparently straight rockers: He's expected to be in touch with his feminine side.

"I'm the gay guy pushing the straight boundaries," he said. "But that's what I did on the show! Like when I did 'Ring of Fire,' I went full-on with eye makeup, a really weird outfit and leather. The very next week, I did 'Tracks of My Tears' in a suit, looking really hetero. I was playing with my image. It wasn't that I was trying to be straight."

His playful pan-sexuality and flamboyant swagger, once qualities common to hard rockers, are now owned by the likes of Pink and Lady Gaga. Lambert understands that. He also cites Justin Timberlake as a kindred spirit, if not musically, then in terms of showmanship and fluid style.

"I think the next generation coming up is a little bit more open-minded," he said. "More accepting, more colorful, more multi-genre, multiethnic, multi-sexuality, which is more utopian. Or I think so. I hope so."

What separates Lambert from much of pop's young elite is his voice, an instrument whose timbre, power and range recalls those titans of hard rock.

"He can sing almost any note on a guitar from the lowest to highest," said Cavallo, who thinks Lambert's sense of style and soul, combined with that range, puts him in the realm of the greats. "And if you're in the studio with him and say, 'Can we get a little more dirty?' he'll go 'Waaaaah!' And then the microphone is melted and the speakers have exploded."

Lambert studied opera as a teenager, then turned away from lessons for a while. "I started rejecting the proper way to sing and I started singing," he said. "I was listening to more and more rock music and wondering, wow, how does that person do that with their voice?"

He discovered there was no name for what rock singers do. Lambert's singing, like his taste and his personal style, put him beyond a boundary.

"I met with [a vocal coach] over the summer and talked to him about it, and the funny thing was, you know when I do those little, crazy, screamy notes? He's like, 'We don't really have a way to teach that. It kind of goes outside of our box.' Those notes that sound sort of like rock-scream, no one ever taught me to do. I sort of had to teach myself. You just do it. It's just a sound you make."

Got up at 6:45 this morning to hear it - and it takes A LOT to get me up that early - but it was worth it to get this song right away!

Look at this cover - now THIS is what I was expecting from Adam - FIERCE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


I don't usually care for "pop" songs, but this is so wicked, the lyrics are deadly, the beat is catchy, it sticks in your head, and Adam's voice, even though a bit over-produced for my taste is FABULOUS!

This is gonna be a MAJOR hit on the radio and in the clubs.

Adam said that this album is going to have something for everyone - pop, rock, ballads, alternative, funk - so this is one of the pop tunes - GREAT choice for a break-out song, he needed something to get top 40 radio play and club play - then he can release the rest!

I wish I knew how to post the song in MP3 format but I don't, so go here for a listen!

Reviews are coming in, all positive and loving it so far!!!

What do YOU think?

ADAM LAMBERT #1 ON AMAZON'S TOP SELLERS LIST!!!!!!

So it appears that the controversial album cover didn't hinder sales - just the opposite, sales have skyrocketed!!!

Number one and rising!!!

In the "movers & shakers" category Adam's album has increased in sales by 700% since yesterday - WOWZA!!!

I guess Adam knew what he was doing.

From his twitter yesterday:
(thanks Tink for the reminder!)

Adam Lambert takes to Twitter to respond to the response to his album cover:

“Thank you to those who appreciate and understand that the album cover is deliberately campy. It’s an omage [sic] to the past. It IS ridiculous. For those that don’t get it: oh well… Glad to have gotten your attention. androgyny. Rock n Roll.”

He's even beating MJ's "This is it" - shocking really, since the movie opened in theaters worldwide yesterday!

The Adam Storm is building into an unstoppable force!

ADAM'S NEW SINGLE "FOR YOUR ENTERTAINMENT" TO DEBUT ON RYAN SEACREST'S RADIO SHOW FRIDAY MORNING OCTOBER 30!!!!!!!

OK!!!!!! We're finally going to get to hear a taste of this album - Adam tweeted tonight that Seacrest will be premiering the single tomorrow morning!!! If you know what station in your area has his show or can get 102.7 KIIS fm where you live that's one way to hear it. If not, here's where the station live streams on the net:

http://www.kiisfm.com/mediaplayer/?station=KIIS-FM&action=listenlive&channel_title=

6:55 am Pacific time for the live stream, so would be 9:55 am Eastern I think.

Adam on Oprah today! I HAVE THE VIDEO NOW!!!

As mentioned before, Adam will be on Oprah today via satellite/skype.

I GOT THE YOUTUBE VERSION!!! I think it's the whole segment!!! Good thing, since I missed it today (doctor appointments again) so I was thrilled to be able to see it!!!











Adam had dinner with song writer/producer Ferras last night at Nobu in LA.

Here's a couple of pictures. He's looking great as always!!

I made an alternate Album Cover

For anyone who doesn't care for the album cover, I hope you're still planning on buying the CD.

As they say, "You can't judge a book (or an album in this case!) by it's cover".

I made up an alternate cover. This is just a mock-up, the real one will be better. My boy and I are going to print these up and put them inside the jewel cases when we get our albums. Unless by then the real ones grow on us...never know.

If anyone wants one of these when I have them done up perfect let me know. They will be the exact size to fit in the jewel case.

What do you think of my "vision" for Adam's CD??????

MUSE has written a song called SOAKED for Adam - it's GREAT!!!!!

I'm a HUGE Muse fan. Huge Huge HUGE. So when Adam confirmed that he was going to be singing a song written by MUSE I was very excited! THEN the song was leaked - not with Adam singing, but the Demo that MUSE gave to Adam with Matthew Bellamy singing. Listen to " SOAKED" and tell me what you think!!!!!!!!!!!!

JUST IN - FIRST SINGLE IS TO BE "FOR YOUR ENTERTAINMENT" not "What ya want from me". CONFIRMED BY ADAM LAMBERT himself via Twitter!!!

Ok, so the buzz was that the Pink song "What ya want from me" was to be the first single from Adam's new album "FOR YOUR ENTERTAINMENT". We even got work that RCA had confirmed it. I guess things change quickly in the music biz, because today Adam has confirmed that his first single will be FOR YOUR ENTERTAINMENT - same as the title of the album. The song is produced by Claude Kelly and Dr. Luke. It's supposed to be a high-energy, rock/pop song that will make people want to get up and dance. I'm just hoping that they don't synthesize his voice, as is so popular these days. Adam's voice is perfect as it is, clear, bright and mesmerizing. No synth/tech/distortion needed - it would only take away from the impact in my opinion. No demo out yet, the single is scheduled to be released for airplay and for sale on iTunes on Monday November 2nd.

Adam Lambert's most memorable experience (so far) as an artist

It isn't new, but I thought it was interesting and very sweet. Just released today even though it was recorded in August.

ADAM LAMBERT on the RED CARPET for MJ's This Is It!

Here are some photos of Adam - looking like Adam - on the red carpet Tuesday October 27th as he heads to the premiere of Michael Jackson's "This Is It". He took Katy Perry as his date for the event - they look lovely together!








Here's a bit of one of the interviews:

NOW...WHAT IF...

The colors were edited like this???



I'm liking it a bit better. I removed the fake hair too.

"FOR YOUR ENTERTAINMENT" COVER RELEASED!!

JUST IN - the official cover of Adam's new album!

OK... - hmmm, I'm not sure about the blue hair, the overly air-brushed skin, the 70's look - it is artsy though - and controversial - and a total departure from the Details mag shoot - but it doesn't look like Adam.

I guess it's just what Adam wants - to ENTERTAIN us and keep us guessing as to what this beautiful and talented chameleon will turn up as next!!

Click on it to make it big - I'm totally doing this eye makeup tomorrow - gorgeous!

Adam Lambert in "InStyle" Magazine

Heard my mail go THUNK when it was delivered today, so I knew that what I've been waiting for had arrived - my copy of the November InStyle Mag! I have a subscription (love the magazine), so even though it was late this month I didn't buy it at the store!

Here's a scan of the article. If you click on it you can see it full size so you can read it.

Everyone loves Adam!
