(New York, NY) - Superstar Adam Lambert announces plans to release Acoustic Live! (19 Recordings / RCA Records), a 5 song EP, which will be available at all digital service providers as well as at www.AdamOfficial.com on December 6th. In addition there will be a limited number of physical copies made available for sale exclusive from www.AdamOfficial.com.
Fans who pre-order the EP on www.AdamOfficial.com will get the acoustic version of "Whataya Want From Me" immediately as an instant grat as well as a limited edition lithograph poster of the cover art. Acoustic Live! includes versions of five of Adam's most popular tracks from For Your Entertainment, including "Whataya Want From Me" and "Music Again" which were recording while Adam was in Germany and "Aftermath" and "Soaked" from Lambert's Glam Nation tour. It also includes an acoustic version of "Mad World", which Adam first performed memorably on American Idol.
Lambert's debut album For Your Entertainment (19 Entertainment / RCA Records) has sold over 1 million copies worldwide since making it's debut at #3 on the Billboard Top 200 chart in November 2009. He is first American Idol to ever tour the world in support of their debut album in the year following their Idol season. Lambert's hit single "Whataya Want From Me," written by Pink and Max Martin, became his first #1 hit on the Billboard charts, topping the Hot Singles Sales survey as well as Hot Dance Singles Sales chart. "Whataya Want From Me" has been a smash hit on many charts, including the Hot 100, Pop Songs, Adult Top 40, Adult Contemporary, Hot Digital Songs and Hot Dance Club Play. It has also become an international hit, going top 10 in Australia, Sweden, South Africa, New Zealand, Denmark, Hungary, Czech Republic, Poland, Argentina and Finland and reaching #1 airplay in Canada, Germany & Singapore. "If I Had You" also charted Top 10 in Australia, New Zealand, Hong Kong, Malaysia, Finland, South Africa and Canada.
Lambert's performances on Season 8 of "American Idol" are already legendary, his live televised collaborations with Queen and KISS were a highlight of his season and his stunning performances of songs including "Mad World," "The Tracks Of My Tears," "Ring Of Fire" and "Whole Lotta Love" are still widely regarded as some of the most captivating moments in Idol history.

Oh wow, that was something else! This can´t be RCA Eds statement, can it? Wasn´t Adams sales just "decent"? Lovely to see so much praise. My heart is full :-)

I think I believe in Santa Claus again!!
WHAT HAPPENED? It seems like overnight, in the eyes of the world Adam has become a SUPER star.As a fan of Adams, naturally I thought of him as a super star, but just this week, thats all I hear about him. It's like he struggled up the mountain and made it to the top, and he stands there tall and proud, waving the USA flag, with millions of people cheering him. Please don't tell me this is all a dream.
I´m so happy for him. I got tears in my eyes now. So stupid! And I really, really love that cover.

I believe there is still a slight struggle to go, but his million dollar voice cannot be denied. As he says in Berlin concert, he loves all his ladies. He has been our superstar from the moment he stepped on that Idol stage. Now he is a world star. It's a happy day!!!
So RCA finally stepping up to the plate. About fucking time.
I think the cover is too American and too drug related.
Thank you RCA, it's time to give credit where credit is DUE... yes use that word "SUPERSTAR" as often as possible‼ Just check out all his accolades... FANTASTIC‼ ☺
anon 4:40 - I can understand the American part but the second part of your comment is nonsense... I think you are on one! Ha! :(
The part where he is not wearing a shirt, must be because the album is stripped, so he had to too. LOL
Since when is the peace sign drug related? And a bare-chested Adam spells HOT in any language!
@4:40 Too drug related? Adam is doing a peace sign not "pot" or whatever your mind is conjuring. Nothing remotely related. Why such a negative comment with no basis of fact? Too American? Like it or not, Adam is American and so are all of the glamily. He enjoys all of his worlwide fans and the many wonderful countries, but I don't think he will be giving up his US citizenship any time soon. Sorry, but thought the drug reference snarky and ridiculous. funbunn40
@ 4:40 You just shut the F*** off u better remove yourself in this world right now or I'll do it for u more than 6 feet under ha!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Probably u r the last cousin of Hitler.
I am so proud of Adam. He has worked hard to get this recognition, he deserves this and more. He is a superstar in my eyes and all glamberts all over the world from the day we saw him on American Idol. It is about time America realizes his superstar status. ROCK ON SUPERSTAR!!!!!!indigo.
The cover and what's inside just don't match..
very SMART cover. But, what else do you expect from Adam? BRILLIANT!!! I can't wait to get my hand o a copy.
Love it!!
IF
DAMNNNN!! SO SEXY :)
Love the art. Love it. I'm glad he's getting away from all glam, all the time and is hitting a bit of a "rock" vibe. Awesome!!
this is a cover you don`t expect
i love love love it!!! & love adam =)
The cover art is PERFECT!!! And I agree that it's about time RCA recognized Adam for what he truly is, a "SUPERSTAR"!!!
Will buy it for this cover alone! Also agree about the rock vs. glam look! Hot! Adamluv
love the cover!!!!it's about time wonderful things are said about this wonderful man!! Peace!
Love the Cover of the Amazing *American* Adam Lambert tooooo drug related???????????

Great "Stripped down" picture for these acoustic versions. I'll go check it out.
I wished for the accoustic Whole lotta love to be on here or Sleepwalker or maybe a couple of cover tunes just for something different. I guess I've just watched all the tour videos so much that I am actually tired of these same songs, (tho never tired of seeing Adam perform!) I like Mad World but I think it has been overdone to the point when I don't want to hear it for awhile.
He looks really cute on the cover!
With nothing available in stores, there is no promotion to see when out shopping.
Only members of his fanclub will be hearing about this.
@colorforadam. I think Santa read my Christmas list already and I got first gift!
@LP 3:59 pm. It is overnight change! I am so happy for Adam "SUPERSTAR"!
About new CD cover. What is this about,4:40? This is noncence. This cover is American, I think it was idea. How did you get idea about drugs? Probably you have sick imagition and need some therapy:(

Wow - so many things bouncing around in my brain when I look at this!
* Adam looks F*N HOT!! OMG. HOT, I tell you! What an awesome picture. Love it! I get all wiggly just looking at it.
* However, I do have to agree with Anon. 6:00. This cover, love it as much as I do, is very rock & roll, but the accoustic renditions of these songs aren't - to me. They're toned down, caressed, stroked...softer versions of the album cuts. This cover is rowdy, loud and in your face (LOVE it, again, btw).
* How nice of RCA to notice Adam's had some success (I say, snidely). It's mostly thanks to his own blood/sweat/tears...but I guess they fronted him the money, so now they feel they can take some ownership. Sheesh.
* Why can't you buy this in stores??????
I definitely saved this image to my little "Adam stash" - it's a new fave!!
- Adam Fix
I'm looking forward to hearing Mad World in the LA shows.
Delilah5, I was just checked and I don't need therapy. I think it is good that this CD is available from the fansite only, just put the VIP members first in line :)
Love the cover, It doesn't match? what did you expect? Its Adam, you get something unexpected from him(like simon said). Adam fix,I love how you said "your Adam stash"...._indigo.
Adam is always a play on words. Expect the unexpected. The cover is perfect. Those who don't get it won't get it. And Drug related? Gimme a break. Somebody's got the munchies, ima thinking.
I am adding my endorsement of this fabulous cover...I think it's pure Adam and that's what matters...not sure what the "drug" reference was above..the "peace sign" maybe?? I think the cover says a lot, but not "drugs" although I suppose Adam could be thought of AS a "Drug"...It says "Adam is stripped, gorgeous, acoustic, promoting peace, and live, which is how we like him best, with just a little bit of the bad boy look and attitude that we love...", all excellent things in my little world, and looking forward to adding this EP to my Adam songbook...
I think the artwork for Acoustic Live is brilliant! He's our American Boy and we LOVE him! Love the Stripped look with the attitude...can't wait to buy it! Hope there will be enough physical CDs to go around 'cause I really want one!

Adam should have included his acoustic version of Whole Lotta Love. His version during the Foxwoods concert was epic! Incredible vocals and so sexy!

I also hope there will be enough hard cds to go around. The entire world doesn't download. A lot still prefer a cd in our hot little hands! I still love Mad World,the slower finale version, not the speeded up one. It sounded like Adam was in a hurry to sing it fast and out of the way. The slower one was haunting and showcased his vocal ability so well. Can't wait to get it and hope to in cd form. Love the cover and less glam look for this one. Think it will appeal to more people and stores may be more willing to stock if it will be available in stores. Maybe we should start asking Walmart, Target, BestBuy,Sam's, Costco, etc. if they are going to stock it ahead of the release date and let them know that Adam has a lot of interested buyers. funbunn40
Congrats. But the acoustic "Sleepwalker, from Zurich" and "Whole lotta love, from Fantasy Springs Resort" are definitely missing. :/
Can someone tell me what makes the songs on this acoustic different from those songs on his FYE album, please? I'm trying hard to figure this one out. Thanks!
Oh man, I want to respond to so many of you and pick up on your comments!! But alas, real life doesn't allow it...but I so enjoy everyone's comments. I commented on the cover art, THREE OR FOUR times, on the other thread, so I'll not be redundant (hard for me ;)) but I do want to give a shout out to the posters who commented upthread about the unexpected nature of the artwork - yes, that hadn't occurred to me, but like the unexpected nature of it.

ps. @coloforadam Nov 16 3:53PM - You were my Santa Claus on that other thread about the you-know-what commercials, you got me girl, about the dread and such, and your comments (and the others too) were a gift to me, (and yours were so sweet too :)), thank you for that gift. MGF
LOVE THE COVER PHOTO AND I CAN'T WAIT TO GET MY HANDS ON THE PHYSICAL CD.
@anon 10:55 P.M. "Just checked" OMG you have great since of humor:) Actually, I am at work now and try do not laugh but this is very difficult for me:) You are hilarious:) And you know I found one think about the drugs. As far as all of us addicted to Adam may be you right and this CD it is some kind of drug for us!!!!!!!!! Good drug ( do they have that kind of drugs?) Also, look what's going just overnight after Press Release! It seems like a lot of people need this drug and name of it "Adam Lambert":)
delilah5
This should be stocked in stores! Is it because it is not a full cd?
Well, it's about time, RCA! We would have loved some PR all along the way this whole year. Adam's been working his butt off, but he can't do it all by himself. Keep it up, RCA. You have a superstar in the making. The more you get him out there for ALL to see and hear, the better it's going to be. As for you UK fans. We in the US love you and your support for our boy. Keep on spreading the word wherever and whenever you can. It will pay off in the end.
Cover art is genius.
Not sure I agree with it being "unexpected". Adam, by nature, is a planner....and he's stated before that he is 10 steps ahead, leading me to believe that this cover art has been in the works for a long time.
The man is smart, and by his own account makes no career move without a reason or prior planning.
Great Job Adam. Can't wait for the EP.
@Anon Nov. 17 at 9:57AM - i couldn't agree with you more and you said it perfectly re RCA :) The Glambrits can probably organize themselves using the social networking system to Adam's advantage if they haven't done it yet. And if they have the luxury of time, they can probably make some noise or something like a teaser for his GNT and later on come up with a small project in support of a charitable institution there, i don't know i'm always like this just thinking aloud throwing ideas into the air.
Anyway i really like your comment :) Thanks for that.

I LOVE this cover its amazing. could be a prelude to what MIGHT be coming in album number 2.
So any ideas on how overseas fans can get a hard copy if they're not members of adamofficial.com?
or how to download from Itunes without a US address, my husband reckons you have to have a UK address at least, I'm a complete technophobe and have no idea how this all works, normally just go into HMV and buy the cd's I want.
HK fan
Does anybody know if they will put this album on Billboard chart? I don't think this is really important but still want to know.
Also, when we can pre-order this EP? Because there is not any info on Adam official side. I really want to have this CD like almost all of us.
delilah5
I'm guessing this EP is a fan collaboration or made only for some of his fans. Even the cover looks like fan art. Don't think this will be on Billboard chart, but who cares.
