History Music / AdamLambert

Adam is currently set to have an acting role in the fifth season of ''Series/{{Glee}}''. His debut episode will air on November 7.

Before he was in Series/AmericanIdol, he was doing musical theater -- he had been in the San Francisco production of ''Theatre/{{Wicked}}'', and a musical version of ''Film/TheTenCommandments'' starring Val Kilmer as Moses. Since he wasn't signed to a record label, he was still eligible to enter, and so he did. Since he had professional-level talent and showmanship before auditioning for ''Series/AmericanIdol'', he still had it after entering, and so he did well. His covers of "Mad World" are legendary despite the first one being cut off completely when the show ran over.

Adam is currently set to have an acting role in the fifth season of ''Series/{{Glee}}''. However, following the tragic death of CoryMonteith, Adam said that it's not likely to air for a portion of the season.

Adam Lambert has released three albums since then: ''For Your Entertainment'' (his studio debut), ''Take One'' (consisting of pre-''Idol'' recordings) and ''Tresspassing'' (his follow up to ''For Your Entertainment''). His musicianship and showmanship remain good, and he has sold better than Kris Allen. His live performances, however, are controversial because some of them were sexually provocative and filled with overt HoYay - Lambert has had dancers put their faces in his crotch, and has kissed the male keyboardist/guitarist of the backing band full on the mouth. This came as an unexpected shock fo the television stations who were airing the shows (most of them big awards shows like the Grammys, several with television audiences expected to include families/young children and teens) live, led to his appearances on several daytime/morning talk shows getting cancelled, and also is a double-fault with some audiences and some Standards and Practices departments. Lambert has said he does not regret his risque performance decisions, though sometimes concedes that it may have been a little much.

His loss to Kris Allen shocked almost everyone who didn't vote for Kris Allen. It didn't help that some AT&T dealerships in Arkansas (Allen's home state) may have rigged some of the cell-phone voting -- not enough to make a difference in who won that season, we were assured, but probably enough to tarnish ''AmericanIdol'''s credibility and do serious damage to the {{ratings}} for Season 9.

* NamesTheSame: While not exact, his name is very similar to LizzieMcGuire star Adam Lamberg.

* DreamTeam: LadyGaga, Orianthi, Matthew Bellamy of Muse.

* Camp

* CompletelyMissingThePoint: Many people complained that their children had stayed up late (''after'' the {{Watershed}}) to watch his performance on the AMAs, only to see that it was incredibly sexually charged. The very sexy ''lyrics'' apparently weren't a problem.
