Adam: Everytime I see a picture of Bill I think we could go shopping together because we have similar style an aesthetic…and we could share eyeliner!
Host: We ask ourselves if Bill might be gay, what do you think?
Adam: You never know…but who are we to judge, it’s up to the person.
Host: It doesn’t matter but you want to know nontheless, a little bit of gossip…
Adam: Well he is really cute…
Host: Ja?
Adam: Ja…
Host: Okay, well dear Bill maybe you’re…
Adam: Don’t you think so?
Host: I think he’ absolutely cute! What do you guys think (audience)?
Host: What do you think about the brother, he’s also cute, Tom?

Here's more Adam talking about Bill from a Magazine:

Finnish magazine Miss Mix:

There’s a song called Voodoo on the new version of your album. Who would you like to make a voodoo doll and why?
Adam: Bill Kaulitz from Tokio Hotel! He’s so cute, so beautiful.

Wait, are you jealous of him, why are you thinking of making a doll?
Adam: No, the opposite. He attracts me, he’s so appealing. I would like to meet him. I would like to go shopping with him!

You just came here from Germany. Why didn’t your meeting take place then?
Adam: He’s busy. And straight. That’s why the doll, hehe!

Sneak Peek: Idol’s Music Director Shares ‘Inside’ Secret!

Check out the interview below with Idol’s music director Rickey Minor.

J.C.: What’s your greatest ‘inside’ secret you tell Idol contestants?

Rickey: I always tell them, ‘Nobody’s ever going to know the notes you were supposed to sing, but didn’t. People don’t remember notes, they remember your heart. They remember if you make them feel the song; you need to access their emotions, make them cry.’

J.C.: Did Adam Lambert take your advice?

Rickey: Absolutely! That guy knew the whole deal the second he got here. I give my email to the top twelve once they’re selected, and that guy would send me emails in layers every night to figure out every single angle of a song he was thinking of doing. Different versions, and arrangements; he so got it. He was like a hungry, ever thirsty boy. So we had fun doing tracks for him, and he had a great work ethic. Adam Lambert gave more than he got and was great to work with.

Adam is this week's connector on CNN. Here's the article and apparently you can ask Adam a question on that site and they may be chosen to ask Adam in an upcoming interview!



Adam Lambert made his name on the hit American television show "American Idol" and although he didn't win the competition, he didn't let that stop him.

The openly gay singer and songwriter has so far released his debut album called "For your Entertainment" and has already won artist of the year from the Young Hollywood Awards.

Lambert has also won the choice male in a reality show from the 2009 Teen Choice Awards.

The album also debuted at number three on the Billboard 200 selling nearly 200,000 copies in the first week.

However, although Lambert has achieved a great deal of success, his career hasn't been completely free of controversy.

During a performance of "For your Entertainment" at the 2009 American Music Awards, Lambert was seen kissing a male keyboardist as well as grabbing the crotch of another male dancer.

The ABC network received over 1,500 telephone complaints and Lambert was quoted as saying in "Rolling Stone" that "female performers have been doing this for years—pushing the envelope about sexuality—and the minute a man does it, everybody freaks out."

"We're in 2009—it's time to take risks, be a little more brave, time to open people's eyes and if it offends them, then maybe I'm not for them. My goal was not to piss people off, it was to promote freedom of expression and artistic freedom."

Here's your chance to ask singer Adam Lambert your questions.

Adam Lambert's single "Whataya Want From Me" reached platinum status in the U.S. yesterday with sales totaling 1,051,000. The song is charting in the top ten in seven countries and is #1 in Germany. Lambert's shared the
good news on twitter." "Great news ladies and g's: Whataya Want From Me has gone Platinum in the USA! Thank you so much for supporting me! I feel so fu**in lucky!"

Lambert's album "For Your Entertainment" is gold in the US, New Zealand and Singapore and double platinum in Canada. Lambert is currently in Europe experiencing an enthusiastic reception for the upcoming European release of his album "For Your Entertainment. Most would say that Adam has had a whirlwind of magazine covers, awards and accomplishments since the end of Season 8 of American Idol. Although Adam is not struggling as suggested by American Idol producer Ken Warwick Lambert's rise to superstardom is complicated because he is breaking all the rules and establishing his international success his way.

Adam defied those that dictate that an album must be genre specific. The conventional thinking is that in order to create an image for branding and marketing purposes, and so that DJ's know where to place you on their play list a recording artist must choose one particular genre and develop a fan base. Any change should only be considered after a few platinum albums and many successful years as an entertainer. Adam defied that rule.

Unlike other new artist Adam is a mature and seasoned professional singer who had a thirty million household laboratory in which to test the appeal of his multi genre vocal dexterity. Adam knew that he could convincingly belt out everything from "Brigadoon" to "Whole Lotta Love". Why should Adam be boxed in artistically when he has the vocal chops to compete in multiple musical genres? The coherence in Lambert's album is his voice; he is gifted with one of the most technically beautiful voices in the history of the music industry.

Adam defied the longstanding paradigm of concealing sensitive personal information until you are an established star. Gene Simmons suggested that Adam had ruined his career with his honesty. Adam is not only unfiltered
about his sexuality but has also exposed his past drug use and details of his experiences with women. Some PR experts would suggest that if an artist must make personal revelations they should wait until they are well established, as did Elton John who after selling millions of albums alluded to bisexuality but then transformed himself into a celebrated gay glam-rock icon.

Right out of the celebrity gate Lambert became involved in two scandals. First he was the victim of the American Idol voting outrage when Matt Jordan a rogue AT&T executive helped bring in 38 million Arkansas votes. Lambert was deprived of his victory and many perceived Lambert's loss as a mandate for the suppression of the LGBT community. Second, Adam" AMA performance triggered a stratospheric social media response that reverberated across the globe with mixed reactions. In the US Adam was no longer an American Idol but a naughty boy. Around the world Adam became interesting.

Adam's success has only just begun. He did not enter the recording industry and sell 8.3 millions albums like Susan Boyle because his success will take a different route. Even though Adam has broken all the rules he is an extraordinary entertainer. The emerging legend of Adam Lambert will spread and grow. Many have yet to grasp the depth and the magnitude of Adam's talent.

On American Idol no one was ever more versatile then Adam or took on such difficult covers. Who had the vocal chops to sing Michael Jackson, Mick Jigger, Freddie Mercury, Steven Tyler, Bono, Sam Cook, Smokey Robinson and Robert Plant? Adam, rather than copying them, belted out their songs with his own signature. When Adam sang on American Idol sometimes he was just so much better than anyone else and other times he was ungodly better than everyone else. Season 9 pales in comparison.

Now preparing for the Glam Nation Tour Lambert will be displaying another level of artistry. There may very well have never been a better live performer. You feel the static electricity the minute Lambert takes the stage. It is not just his otherworldly vocal gift it is his spellbinding presence. Lambert over six feet, fit, groomed and glammed is a strikingly handsome man.

Physically Lambert engages every element of his being in the interpretation of a lyric. He darts his eyes or thrusts and grinds his pelvis for added emphases, but every move refines the interpretation and there are
endless interpretations to anything he sings. Lambert is an old time storyteller constantly retuning his tale. Lambert is mesmerizing and addicting. If you see him perform live you need to see him again. The magic he creates on stage will be his ticket to becoming an iconic international success. Just like every great entertainer Adam Lambert will break all the rules and do it his way.
