Adam Lambert Talks to Los Angeles Times about Crossing Boundaries, Utopia and Burning Man
"I listen to crazy, robust rock music where they sing their faces off, and soul music, which can be similar. But I also listen to a lot of dance music. I love that style. I was a Paula Abdul fan, a Michael Jackson fan, a Madonna fan. When Christina Aguilera came out when I was in high school, that was a great example of someone taking the pop-dance feel but who could really sing. Pop stars have done it; it's just not a lot of guys have done it. Maybe it's a question of masculine persona (. . .) I'm the gay guy pushing the straight boundaries."

He can't decide what type of music to sing because Adam is trying to be everything to everyone. That is his big problem. Just be the Disco Diva you wouldn't to be Adam.

Adam is proving himself to be one of the elite, his voice is phenonmenal and his creativity and courage are inspiring. Adam is a real star in every sense, and on top of that he is such an intelligent and enlightened soul.

Keep pushing those boundaries Adam! Rock/pop music needs you and your innovative ideas and direction. Your beautiful verasatile voice should NOT be limited to one genre of music! My iTouch contains as many of your different performances as I could find on YouTube, as well as AI, and I love them all! Can't wait for your album on the 23rd...snippets are all awesome, especially "Soaked". Keep evolving, experimenting, creating and pushing those bounderies to show us your musical genius!

what can't be appreciated from reading the article online is that IT IS ON THE FRONT PAGE of the arts and books section of calendar in the la times today.

you go, adam. and stay true to yourself and your artistic vision.

I am confident he will keep it fresh and not repeat himself. Since he can sing anything--he will not backtrack his steps. It will be fun to follow him along on this musical journey. I am looking forward to his CD but I still adore the AI songs that I've downloaded as his performances never get boring.
Looking forward to seeing him live some day because that has to be one fabulous show. He rocked the AI tour with so few songs so, a solo tour would be a pretty amazing show.
