The Glam Nation Tour Backstage Interview with Lyndsey Parker

Adam Lambert is known for his love of "playing dress-up," and on his first solo concert trek, this summer's Glam Nation Tour, he's been able to indulge his not-so-inner diva like never before, taking the stage resplendent in peacocky plumage, T. Rex top hats, venus-in-fur coats, leather, lace...and, as he did Tuesday, July 27 at his first of two homecoming shows in Southern California, bindhis. Lots and lots of bindhis. Yep, Gwen Stefani ain't got nothing on Glambert.



Glamming it up is obviously a crucial process of Adam's concert tour experience, so I was tickled glittery-pink to get a chance to interview the Glamerican Idol while he was actually undergoing his transformation in his makeup chair (a Reality Rocks--and Adam Lambert--first!). I mean, what better setting for his pre-show interview? There, in his dressing room at Costa Mesa's Pacific Coast Amphitheatre, I watched as--under the expert hands of "America's Next Top model" makeup guri Sutan--Adam gradually morphed from his natural, minimally made-up day look to the kohl-eyed rhinestone-rocker-by-night we all know and love.



And, being a superb multi-tasker, Adam also managed to discuss his ever-evolving persona, his pre-performance rituals, Glam Nation audience behavior, and his upcoming second album (out in spring 2011!!), all while getting cosmetically spackled.

Watch now, and prepare to be dazzled:

He is just so real. Poor Sutan trying so hard to do his thing. Very good interview.

Did I hear that Adam was actually going to do the new album or major parts of it in Europe?

How many performers would be that relaxed and generous to allow an interview while preparing for a concert, especially while being made up.He's so real,unaffected and low maintenance! Sutan never missed a beat applying the makeup to Adam's ever animated face. How can anyone be so lovable all of the time? I just want to hug the daylights out of him! Really curious about the album now being done i Europe. Have to watch video again! funbunn40

Totally agree funbunn40 at 9:28 - so lovable and unaffected.
To really multi-task, maybe he could do an interview while showering next time...haha

OMG-smart, funny, gorgeous, ..... lalalalal on and on!! Just never stops with this incredible guy. Looks like he is taking great care of himself, so sensitive to the audience and his future, taking each moment as important and fun. Watched the Oprah rerun yesterday and his resolutions for 2010 are amazingly on track. Besides being achingly adorable and superbly talented, he is SO inspiring!!

Agree with all these comments. He is just so...REAL.

And, I need to kiss him.

He's too cute off-stage...too sexxxxy-fierce on stage. How does he DO IT???? One of the great mysteries of the world.

I agree. What so many people don't see about Adam is that he's NOT a narcicisstic, go-crazy exhibionist. He creates a PERSONA and is good enough at it ("good" seems so weak) that a lotta people think that's who he is. The REALLY cool thing about him is his boyish charm turning into his Sex God Persona on stage. I love it!

Anonymous said...

Okay Adam Fix - since you said it first... that's the thing I've been going through lately...
I NEED to kiss him... 'ya know how, in life, there's this lesson that everyone needs to learn, about how there's things that you want and then there's things you need - well I NEEEEEEED to kiss him... just once :).

Okay, there, I've come out of my own closet on the matter - no hate please!

I get your pain, MGF and don't think there's a closet big enough to hold all of us that have the same wish! No hate, just enormous commiseration!!! funbunn40

Adam Fix, MGF, funbunn40, and all the other closet dwellers....

I'm in...or out...or wherever we are on this...

Rememer the song "I Want To Kiss You All Over" - Well, that about sums it up for me. Start at his feet- he has very sexy feet and Toes!! Yeah - I would like to start there and then.......Sorry - can't say the rest of it!

And his mouth...At one time, I thoughta he musta had lip injections, 'cos his mouth is so perfect. Now I think it's juat part of his perfection.

Okay, I'll go ya one further....kiss? eh. I just want to be in the same place as him for a day, and just listen to him and watch him interact. I wouldn't have to speak or anything. Just want to watch and listen. His personality intrigues the voyeur in me. I actually play a thread of his interviews as my "ambient" sound while at work. His voice, the cadence or sound of it seriously slows my heart rate, makes me focus and I'm more productive than ever.

Ok, go ahead and call me crazy!

I'll go ya one further...I just want to be allowed to be in the same place(s) as him for a day. I wouldn't have to speak, just listen. There's something in his personality that brings out the voyeur in me. (to clarify, that would be a 24 hour day!) Actually, there's something about his voice: its melodic or its cadence literally slows my heart rate, makes me focus, and makes me so productive. That's why each day at work I play a thread of his interviews as my "ambient" noise. It's so calming to me.

Ok, you call go ahead and call me crazy, I can take it!

Sorry guys, I didn't show that my comment posted so I redid it. Sorry!

Anonymous said...

Anon 9:23...wow, I'm in awe. And I thought I was crazy!

OK, kidding. I get it - totally!

I want a Harry Potter invisible cape, so I can just be near him and not bother him with my presence.

But I still need to kiss him.

I'm late finding this, but love it and all the comments!

Anon at 9:23, I'm impressed you found something that you can listen to at work that keeps you more calm, focused, and productive. You know we're all gonna try it, regardless of how crazy it might sound. It must be that Adam's wonderful vibes permeate the space and your cells! Heathy!

And yes, Adam Fix, I've thought the same thing.....wanting a Harry Potter invisibility cape + the wizard ability to apparate and disapparate so I can be near him. (Plus time travel so I can go to his Idol shows, Fantasy Springs, etc.) Let's keep wishing until it comes true!
