Adam Lambert Dishes on His New Album, Being Gay, and Getting Paid
The Idols Live Tour is coming up, so Adam Lambert was out dishing about his future after American Idol. He spoke about the big names he’s working with in the business to get his album together, what he’s most excited about for the tour, and what’s it been like since he announced publicly that he was gay. Here’s the scoop:
… his upcoming album: I am so excited! I think it’s going to come out in November. We haven’t found a title yet. And I’m working with RedOne — he’s an incredible producer who did Lady Gaga’s hit material. I’m working with Linda Perry, with Greg Wells, with Ryan Tedder, Sam Sparrow — amazing writers and producers. And I’m getting to co-write. I wrote a song with Kara Dioguardi from the show. It’s awesome.
… coming out as a homosexual: The response that I’ve felt is mostly positive support, so I think that’s great. It’s a testament to us really trying to become a bit more progressive and focus on what really matters which is that I’m an entertainer and a singer and that’s what it really needs to be about. My private life really has nothing to do with my ability to entertain.
… the tour: I’m looking forward to banking that paycheck. I’m not going to lie, I mean, that’s not my first priority, but, you know, I think for all of us, having gone through experience, to be able to walk away with some financial security in these tough times is really nice.
I guess the financial security is pretty amazing, but why isn’t he just excited about performing for live crowds full of people screaming his name? That’s what I would be most stoked about. Sucks he’s working with the Lady Gaga dude- her stuff is so annoying, but I guess she’s popular and that’s all that matters these days.
What do you think? Will his album be a hit?

DROP A COMMENT BELOW
I love this guy, and I am a 52 year old woman who loves music and was a dancer for 12 years. He deserved to win Idol but is better off not having won, he will be able to do music his way now instead of the Idol recipe that winners have to follow because they won. I loved how he takes a song and puts his own twist to it, often making song like an entirely different piece of music. I hope he doesn’t get too creative and ruin what made everyone like him so much on Idol. Of course he would be excited about singing in front of fans for the tour, but I think it is nice that he is showing some maturity and talking about financial responsibility, that something most young stars these days don’t even seem to realize exists because they have their handlers to do it, and I think that is a big part of all the trouble they get themselves in to, they have no responsibility for themselves. Go Adam, and I can’t wait for your first album to come to the stores.
