Adam Lambert explains 'glam' style choices

Any fan of Adam Lambert knows one thing more than anything else -- the guy loves his style. In a new interview with Nova FM over in Australia, the "American Idol" singer is asked by Dylan Lewis to explain what he describes as his best personal look:

"I like anything that's just a little extra special, a little over the top -- sparkly or shiny or glam. I define glam as anything fierce and fabulous."

Later on in the chat, Adam also admitted something that most of his diehard fans know already -- he tones it down a little bit when he gets off the stage and hanging out by himself:

"I'm probably a little bit more of a normal person than people might thing. There are times when I just chill in jeans and a t-shirt. My style is definitely amplified [on stage]."

Adam Lambert's 'Sleepwalker' cover and airplay response

In only the span of 24 hours, Adam Lambert's "Sleepwalker" is making quite a name for itself on the radio. The song -- which has only to this point been announced as a single in Canada -- made its debut on some radio stations Saturday morning. The response, unsurprisingly, was overwhelming among the former "American Idol" star's fans.

For evidence of this, all you have to do is look at the case of Toronto radio station CHUM FM, which saw itself becoming a Trending Topic on Twitter shortly after the song's debut. Also have the first look at the specific single cover for "Sleepwalker," which should feel pretty familiar to those of you who have studied Adam's photographs much over the course of the past year or so. :)

As of right now, it is still unlikely that the song will become the fourth single off of "For Your Entertainment" here in the United States -- its best hope will be if a massive spike in airplay causes it to become a top ten hit along the lines of "Whataya Want From Me" and "If I Had You."

Adam Lambert finds past and present in pop (video)

In the midst of Adam Lambert's continued global publicity tour, he had an opportunity to sit down with Scotty Rocker in New Zealand. The interview just hit the internet on Monday, so we finally have the opportunity to hear a little bit of what the "American Idol" singer has to say.

One of the most important points Adam made during the chat came when he discussed the relationship between pop music and the listener, and how has perception on it is going to help him create future hits:

"[My music]'s about pop ... my goal was to bring all that [80's and glam] influence and the power vocals and mold that with the synth pop, and I'm going to try to keep doing that. I think that fusion is really the way to push forward ... I think part of what pop is is staying abreast to what people want. Some people may call that selling out, but another person may call that being really smart."

Adam has said that he wants his upcoming album in stores by early summer of next year, and will contribute even more to writing this time around.

Adam Lambert reveals quiet Halloween plans

Halloween holds a special place in Adam Lambert's heart -- that being said, he isn't going to be spending this October 31 at a bunch of high-end parties in Hollywood (at least as far as he know).

In a new post on his Twitter account, the "American Idol" singer denied some of the rumors that have him attached to major events:

"Halloween is coming up! My fav holiday!! But FYI I'm not attending any of those big obnoxious parties that say I'm a confirmed guest. Never even saw invitations Hahah"

First of all, can anyone picture Adam singing "For Your Entertainment" with the words "for your information" plugged in instead? Okay, enough of that aside -- really Adam is probably going to spend this period of time either resting or even potentially working on some new music. Following his performance in Hawaii Tuesday he has about a ten-day break in the schedule -- his next performance will be in Helsinki on November 6.

Adam Lambert To Gay Teens: Ignore The Hate, Focus On The Love

Rocker Adam Lambert says he wants gay teens to ignore the hate and focus on the love.

Lambert addressed the recent spate of gay teens bullied to death in the U.S. at a press conference before performing in Malaysia, which was protested by members of the Pan Malaysian Islamic Party (PAS), Malaysia's Islamic opposition party because the theatrical performer “promotes gay culture.” Holding signs that read “Not Our Culture” protesters held a reportedly peaceful demonstration outside the venue.

Earlier, the PAS had demanded the cancellation of the concert, but Lambert agreed to edit out a controversial kiss between himself and his male keyboardist, Tommy Joe Ratliff.

The openly gay Lambert talked about the protest and the role celebrities play in advancing gay rights at a press conference held before the concert.

“My message to the youth of the U.S. and to the world is that you should be proud of who you are,” he answered a reporter asking about the recent gay teen suicides. “And I know that it's hard.”

“I'm still bullied, in a sense, by certain groups, by certain journalists in a way. And the general public. If you go on the Internet, for example, and you go down into the comments section. There's a lot of hate. But you know what? If I focused on the hate and let it affect me, I'd be letting the hate win. I refuse to do that. I'm going to focus on the positive and focus on the love, and ignore all the hate.”

Entertainment, Adam Lambert style

MANILA, Philippines—That the global reception for Adam Lambert’s debut album, “For Your Entertainment,” has been generally positive is unqualified deliverance for such an intense and divisive talent.

Rock ’n’ roll and dance club music have rarely sat well together, but with Lambert straddling fluently between two “opposite” roots, “For Your Entertainment” came out equal parts metal glam and electroclash dance in a seamless package that glitters with the kind of sparkle rarely found outside of “Twilight” the movie.

Lambert’s Filipino fans came in droves Sunday night at the Mall of Asia open grounds, where the 28-year-old singer-songwriter’s Glam Nation world tour made a stop. The same girls who screamed for “Twilight’s” Robert Pattinson gave it up for Lambert as well—amid pounding dance beats and clitoral guitar licks that haven’t been heard in these parts since Robert Fripp in David Bowie’s “Scary Monsters” or Jimmy Page in “Communication Breakdown” eons ago.

“My band rocks!” Lambert screamed after making sure things were up to par on his watch with the pulse-taking question: “Manila, are you having fun?!!”

Sing-and-dance cycles

Lambert, master showman in top hat, coat tails and cane, plotted his repertoire this way: He escalated what was basically a one-album concert into four rock ’n’ roll sing-and-dance cycles, highlighted by “Whataya Want From Me?,” “Fever,” “Strut,” and “If I Had You” in that order, with ballads and slow numbers in between—in a kind of peaks and valleys of energy.

His patented vocal pyrotechnics and solemn modals strung the songs in one festive, sinuous set.

Opening cycle introduced the album with the title cut, complete with the aforementioned Broadway getup and dancers (“If I’m not a singer I’d be a dancer”), laser lights, big overhead display screens.

Before anybody could egg him on, Lambert obliged everyone by kissing his bassist, again, this time to wild cheers. The dance headliner “Strut” and the Lady-Gaga-penned “Fever” were obvious connections to the young and the now, and indeed brought the house down on cue.

For an hour and a half, Lambert spread his message of love, fun and self-expression.

Saved for last was the most melodically appealing track from the album, the pulsating dance floor romp, “If I Had You.” Too brief and too early in the night for the young to go home, Lambert obliged with an encore of his Idol signature rendition of Tears For Fears’ “Mad World.”

Elton John Speaks about Gaga's new album ‘Born This Way’

Elton John talked about a possible collaboration with Lady Gaga and her upcoming studio album Born This Way in a recent interview with Entertainment Weekly:

“I love her, and I love her ability to write. There’s a chance I might do one track with her, but she’s so busy and I’m so busy, we can never get together! But her record – it’s fucking amazing. ‘Born This Way’, which is the title song, will completely get rid of Gloria Gaynor’s ‘I Will Survive’. This is the new ‘I Will Survive’. That was the gay anthem. This is the new gay anthem. Actually, it’s not a gay anthem – it can apply to anybody.”

Adam Lambert mentioned as Grammy possibility

Even though the Grammys are still nearly half a year away, we apparently are at the point when people are going to start talking about them. In a new article by Billboard, Adam Lambert is even mentioned as a potential candidate for the Best New Artist category -- since his debut album "For Your Entertainment" falls into the eligibility period (which began on September 30 of last year), he has a good chance to grab a nod.

So if Adam is nominated, who will be his likely competition? Drake and Justin Bieber are two of the current names being talked about as favorites, and we can probably also plug B.o.B in there as well. The other spot (once you include Adam as a potential nominee) will likely go to whether or not voters go for originality or popularity. Susan Boyle has sold over 9 million copies of "I Dreamed a Dream" around the globe, where Florence & the Machine are coming off some big publicity from the 2010 MTV Video Music Awards. There is also Ke$ha to consider, even if the critics have not been too kind to most of her work.

For only $95.00, the beautifully crafted pendant has the whole rebel/grunge vibe going (which is completely on trend) and its for a good cause.

Adam Lambert #30 on world chart with 'If I Had You'

Singer Adam Lambert, the former American Idol finalist is seeing more and more success as time goes by on his Glam Nation tour. The fans around the world can't seem to get enough of Lambert. It is evident that the singer who once captivated the nation with performance on the hit singing competition has gone on to mesmerize the world of fans that he has gained since becoming a finalist on the show. According to the recent version of the world chart, Lambert is number 30 with "If I Had You."

There has been a lot of talk about 2011, and the fact that the singer has confirmed that he will start work on the new album, but some are wondering if a new single will be released from For Your Entertainment since the album seems to have taken on a life of its own since its release, and continues to perform well on the various music charts.

Adam Lambert's international tour -- potential change-ups

Before Adam Lambert begins his newest leg of the Glam Nation Tour on Sunday, one of the biggest questions being thrown around is actually a pretty simple one -- what will the "American Idol" singer actually perform? There is an article from Hong Kong proclaiming that there will be some sort of "new" music at their upcoming concert -- but the interpretation of that word has to be examined before we actually get ourselves too excited.

First of all, "new" does not necessarily mean that Adam will be busting out songs from his mysterious upcoming album -- those are still in the early stages. He could very well test one out, but what is likely being referred to hear is that we will hear a couple of rarities performed, along with some tracks ("Pick U Up") that weren't featured so much here in the United States. "Can't Let You Go" seems to be in big demand overseas, and Adam previously said in a conference call that it wasn't popular enough stateside to undergo serious consideration here.

One other possible meaning of the word "new" could mean new versions. Glam Nation thus far has brought us newer versions of "Aftermath" and "Mad World," so we could see the same sort of thing happen here.

Adam Lambert's 'Aftermath' hits #1 in Finland

The fans of Adam Lambert, the former American Idol star have reason to celebrate the artist, as news of the singer's song "Aftermath" making it to the number one spot on the Finland music chart has hit the internet. It seems that Lambert's constant rise to success seems to be occuring not just in the United States, but all throughout the world.

Adam is number one on the chart, while another superstar is at the number four position, Eminem with Rihanna for their collaboration on "Love The Way You Lie." Enrique Iglesias and Taio Cruz are also on the chart.

He has been busy on his Glam Nation tour, and has been mesmerizing audiences ever since he embarked upon his first solo tour. It has proven to be incredibly successful, and there is no doubt that future tours will be even more successful.Adam Lambert has performed at many sold-out venues across the world, and that proves that fans have been waiting for the opportunity to see him live.
