Adam Lambert Welcome to the Show premiere
US exclusive premiere plus a personal letter from Adam
“Welcome To The
Show is an anthem about facing exactly who you are and OWNING it. Its
intended as a mantra to inspire strength and PRIDE. After recording the
song a few months ago, I felt very compelled to create a video to
further communicate it’s meaning.
"This is the
first time I’ve produced my own music video. With the help of my friend
and long- time collaborator Lee Cherry, we set out to co-direct
something notably honest. I spoke with Laleh (the brilliant songwriter
who is featured on the song) and we agreed on the vulnerability we
wanted captured on screen. I think the more we as artists share
ourselves openly, the more someone out there may feel inspired to do the
same. I also felt a strong feeling of empowerment in creating this
video independent of the label system. It was time to shoot this one on
my own. This video isn’t about selling a song, or product placement, or
racking up viral views. This is intended simply as a creative
expression. What resulted on set came from a very free and organic
headspace that allowed me to connect with the camera as if it were each
person who’s supported me over the last 7 years. This video is a thank
you to all of you who have lined up to see the Original High World Tour.
To everyone who has listened and shared my songs and given me the
purpose to keep moving forward. It’s a thank you to all of you who
choose to accept and Love who YOU are! We hold each other up! I want you
to keep celebrating exactly who you are, even if you don’t fit into the
worlds ideas of what they think you should be. Take your flaws in
stride, nurture your talents, take pride in your Queerness, and share
all the love you have.”

Wow! I love this. Quintessential Adam in all his glory and lived Lelah in her part. Winner Less Cherry and Adam!
Adam, always so open and vulnerable, sheds another layer of skin to reveal yet more of that inner beauty.
Wolves - stay away from this one!
It's sublime. It's Adam. Hope it gets tons if hits. He wrote a truly beautiful essay that says so much. Hope many discover it.
I'm so impressed with Adam's artistry. The message he wrote is amazing, articulate, honest and so enlightening. I am in awe of Adam and his vulnerable self.
The video is what I've been waiting for all these years....Adam up front and center, although sharing the camera this time, with the lovely Laleh, but done so beautifully.
LOVE IT!! Yes he is artistic even down to his little toe. Very nicely done Adam, L, and L. It's great for Adam to always throw business his friends way. They are very talented and it also shows Adam's character and how much he always thinks of others. I'm sure this will be popular among his many fans.
That is just lovely.
Yes, Adam finally got it! spot-on video, no distractions, stark message; Laleh with her pure demeanour augments Adam's dynamic presence all through the video. Adam's voice, pure.
Beautuful, love it.
Finally!! a video with ADAM as the focal point ... not hidden in the artistic shadows ... out where he belongs!! His face .. his voice ... his vulnerability ... out there for everyone to share his thoughts & feelings!! Laleh looked and sounded so much better than her appearance on AI .. she is really a very pretty woman ... and Lee Cherry was the best photographer for this video too!! Love it all .. vocals .. visuals .. concept .. PERFECT!!

"...facing exactly who you are and OWNING it."
Yes, this indeed is crucial and not easy to arrive at; it may even take a lifetime. A person who doesn't know who exactly he/she is...is likened to a ship adrift without a compass/direction; detrimental to oneself and others; tends to follow or may inflate one's actual capacity; worse, leads others the wrong way...the blind leading the blind. One's environment/upbringing/culture/education/spirituality help a great deal to find the Self.
Adam knows himself and has a clear direction. I can never come to terms with a pseudo because don't know the person who may change depending on circumstances / double standards.
