New Interview in Arizona: Adam talks album and Lady Gaga

Adam Lambert has had an interesting start in show biz since his stint on American Idol. With his fan base now being aptly named 'Glamily', the boy couldn't get dressed in the morning without a pound of glitter on his face. While he tends to be controversial to some and overdone to others, Adam doesn't understand why his hair cuts are news worthy.

He plays a show in Tempe, Arizona tonight and sat down with The Arizona Republic to answer their questions.

On creating For Your Entertainment: "...a lot of people don't realize that we put the album together in three months, which is a very quick turnaround, all things considered. Given that and the fact that I was on tour with American Idol at the same time while I was recording, I think it's pretty amazing. I really wanted the album to be as diverse as the styles that I explored on "Idol." And yet, what was really important to me was to make something that was current and something that would be commercially viable. You know, this is a business and an art form," said Adam.

On Lady Gaga: "I think we have similar backgrounds. She did some theater when she was younger and ended up running around with the club kids in New York. And I'd been doing theater since I was a kid and working professionally throughout my 20s in LA. And then I started exploring that whole underground crazy-club-kid culture. So yeah, I think we do kind of come from a similar place, and some of our influences are also the same. I wish I could play piano like her..."

On his dramatic stage presence: "That's kind of part of what I do. But there's a middle section in the concert where I literally sit on a stool and I have my guitar player playing acoustic. And that's just as much a part of me as all the smoke and mirrors and the costumes," Lambert said.

Seen here performing at The Beach at the Mandalay Bay Resort Casino in Las Vegas, Nevada July 31st, it's good to know that Adam Lambert isn't all smoke and mirrors. I want to know that the humping people on stage are the real deal. And thank heavens for that!

If FYE only took him three months to finish......the quality for the album was super amazing. I can't believe it was produced in only three months...

This means that the next album will be EVEN BETTER considering he mentioned that he had already begun recording the second album. So he has around half a year to finish the second album. This is going to be so perfect.

So nice of him to always talk about Gaga...

Still waiting on the duet/collaboration.

Gagafan, I think FEVER is considered a collabration, no?

Shirley said...

Yes. Technically, Adam and Gaga had already collaborated with "Fever".

I hope they sing a song together for the next album. Has Gaga ever said anything about Adam?

Shirley, No, I have never heard her say one word about him. Of course if she did, that would take the attention away from her. Adamluv

The sitdown, acoustic performances are so powerful and amazing too but the critics only mention the wild, glitter moments and post the weirdest pictures they can find. Just part of the subtle snipes at someone they don't want to be seen as totally supporting (and we know why) - it's still kind of irritating.

Anon 5:13 - That is exactly how I feel! It is very depressing to hear and read all the passive/aggressive stuff said to Adam and about Adam. Adamluv

Why do Gaga fans go to Adam Lambert concert and then compare him to Gaga? So what if Gaga is more successful and better than Adam. We don't all have the same taste.
