“It really came down to me just having to prove it, that I had a right to be here — which is good. I like a challenge,” Lambert, 34, says by phone from Huntington, N.Y., at the start of the North American leg of his Original High Tour. “It’s very easy to write off somebody from a TV show talent competition, and I understand why people do it.
“At the end of the day people have to understand that everybody who goes and auditions and does (‘Idol’), we all have dreams. We all want to make it. Being on a TV talent show competition doesn’t diminish that drive, and it doesn’t diminish the validity of the dream you had in the first place. It doesn’t make me any less of an artist than the next person.
“I just found a very different path, the way I chose to go.”
Still, Lambert acknowledges a more advanced creative charge for his latest album, “The Original High,” which came out last June. More so than predecessors such as “For Your Entertainment” and “Trespassing,” Lambert and his collaborators worked with different moods and textures, as well as heavier and more personal subject matter.
“I think it represents my personality really well, and the things I thought of and feel,” Lambert explains. “But hopefully more than just me, I think it actually represents people. I think it represents what people are experiencing right now.” And Lambert fully realizes he may not be the first artist fans expect to grapple with the emotional toll of social upheaval, terrorism and political unrest.

"There’s a lot of scary things going on in the world right now. There’s a lot of strange sort of disenchantment that happens with technology and feeling that we’re communicating with each other but are actually disconnected. It’s easy right now to end up feeling alone and sort of aimless."-Adam Lambert
