International news wire service, Agence France-Press (AFP), sat down with Adam Lambert backstage at the recent Global Citizen Festival in New York for an interview that is running in newspapers and online news sites around the globe regarding his new EP, VELVET: SIDE A, as well as his work with Queen, and more. This piece, written by AFP journalist Maggy Donaldson, and which includes some gorgeous photos of Adam, was originally published on September 27, 2019.  We're presenting the version that appears in Yahoo! News.
"I'm all about giving people the sense of confidence and pride and personal power to feel like they don't have to accept bad circumstances; that they have the right to demand more for themselves..."

Nice interview. And even nicer, seeing Adam in a powder blue shirt. Now THAT'S a treat.

Yes Adam just keep on doing what you want! Velvet proved to be a winner!

Just watched the performance from Ryan and Kelly. Too bad about the mic thing but it was only one line, so it got resolved really fast. Adam is such a pro. Nice interview, too, except just saw the first segment.

Loved the Kelly and Ryan performance.
I liked "Superpower" when it came out but I loved this performance of it!
After hearing Velvet Site A this song has become my favorite on the album
Plus he was in my favorite look! Such a beautiful and sexy man!

There doesn't seem to be a video of the second segment of the interview. Ryan says, "When we come back,," and there should be more about Velvet. Haven't seen that second part anywhere, though. Anybody?

Thanks Mi Re La...for the links to Adam on Kelly and Ryan. As usual, Adam looked and sounded FANTASTIC! Even a mic problem couldn't shake his "cool"....he's such a pro.

Yeah, Dee, that's what I thought -- then I skimmed through the whole thing on my DVR and, nope, no 2nd part -- except at the very end of the song. Hmph!

And THANK YOU Mi Re La ... didn't come to these comments until after creating the Kelly & Ryan post -- but just updated it with the MJ's videos you found. :)

Just like the rest of you I was so pleased to see ADAM on Kelly & Ryan Show this AM!! ADAM of course, looked phenomenal as usual & sounded even better if that is possible!! I'm sorry that I didn't recognize Allisan on stage doing backup for ADAM!! So happy to see the pics .. TYSM for the pics, articles & Ytube links MiReLa & broddybounce!! I thought it was extremely sweet of ADAM to lead the audience in singing Happy Birthday to Kelly!! He's so thoughtful & in spite of the "rocky" start he killed Superpower!! Made my day!! Now I'm going to wait for James Corden on the 10th 12:30 AM ET & I'm gonna check out The Talk .. that afternoon (I hope)!! Back to streaming now!!

Read that Adam was not felling well . . any news

Angeladam said...

Felt sorry for Adam when he had a technical fault, but what a trouper! He just carried on until it was resolved well done Adam !

That song Super Power live is even more fantastic. Adam's vocals are crazy good. Yes there was a sound problem with the microphone at the beginning. Sound people test your equipment do a better job. However he rose above it his vocals were smashing live there smashing any way he sings. This song is so good. I have not heard any song this good on radio or any place in a long time. It is a superior pop song. I dont listen that much but do listen some in the car and of course got it for Adam. I have listen some off and on lately nothing I've heard old or new is that good and live wow IMHO.

Sue Smith said...

The band is wonderful and look so professional. They look great Adam did glam beautifully. The mature Glam for Adam fits him like a sparkly glove. Did not know that was Alison I. That's great. Love this band dont know if he will make any adjustments. The best band yet IMO. The song as I said is a step above.

If that really was Adam Ross on the guitar, I hope he stays with Adam for the "Velvet" tour...and for these "one-offs" Adam's doing now....he's a fantastic guitarist. I remember him from Adam's "Original High" tour, and thought he was extraordinary.

And BTW....that black leather outfit (love it!) is perfect to wear for "Superpower"...Adam looks SO Alpha....and most definitely SUPERPOWERED dressed like that! Oh my!
