This is just one of many attempts to merge social connections, music and exclusive content into one killer ap – Tidal, Apple Music's Connect, now Shazam – it is getting crowded already with more to come. Shazam is at a real disadvantage in North America and may need to develop some strategic partnerships to gain a real foothold here.
* This is the Shazam number but it is not unique followers.

"Shazam is adding social features to try to become more than just a blue button"
For many, Shazam is just a magic blue button that tells you what song is playing at the bar or on the radio. Considering how daunting a task being able to identify the world's music is, it does this very well. But, the company wants to be more than this. At a event in TriBeCa Monday, the company announced a new feature where users of the app can follow their favorite artists and see what they're Shazaming.
Artists will be able to choose what music they share with their followers and users will be able to "like" the tracks they share. Shazam will also now show how many times a track has been Shazamed, in addition to the charts it already has.
For artists, this product gives a new way to interact with fans. In an interview with Mashable Singer Adam Lambert said "I'm on social media blasting out [to fan's] songs all the time, so I think this will be a more practical hands-on thing." Lambert also notes Shazam is an interesting means of discovery for artists because listeners come to the music without any preconceived notions. It "lets the music be front and center."

Adam Lambert Slams Kanye West's 'Bohemian Rhapsody' Cover
Posted Monday, June 29th 2015 @ 6pm

Adam Lambert was not a fan of Kanye West’s cover of Queen’s “Bohemian Rhapsody” at the Glastonbury Festival in England on Saturday. The former “American Idol” star took to Twitter on Monday to slam West’s performance of the classic Queen song (video below). “OYE VEY Kanye,” tweeted Lambert, adding, “That Bohemian Rhapsody at Glastonbury though… Ouch.”
Lambert, who toured last year with Queen’s surviving members Brian May and Roger Taylor, routinely nailed it when singing the late Freddie Mercury’s lead vocals on “Bohemian Rhapsody.” West, however, struggled on Saturday to hit the high notes, instead letting the audience sing-along on certain parts. The “Yeezus” rapper also forgot some of the words to the song, which fans quickly pointed out.
As Gossip Cop reported, West’s “Bohemian Rhapsody” wasn’t the only mishap the rapper suffered at Glanstonbury. Midway through his performance of “Black Skinhead,” a comedian named Lee Nelson jumped onstage wearing a T-shirt that read “Lee-Zus” and started dancing next to the rapper. Watch both West and Lambert cover Queen’s “Bohemian Rhapsody” below, and tell us what you think.

Adam on his Vocal Training
Did you take vocal lessons?
“Yes, I started doing that when I was about 13 years old.”
In what way? Singing scales?
“Yes, all of that. But I had a fantastic vocal coach who taught me not only techniques but singing overall. She became like a mentor to me, and introduced me to all the classics: movies, musicals, recordings.
She taught me about the great singers, the great composers. In a way, it is like I got my education from a previous generation.”
Even without knowing that, that shows in your artistry.
“That is probably true. I carry things with me from the old golden era of entertainment that she taught me.”
So you sat and watched videos during your vocal lessons?
“Yes. She also taught me about gay history, all the iconic stuff.”
You mean like Judy Garland?
“Judy Garland, Liza Minnelli, Barbra Streisand. I got that entire education from her. I hadn’t even come out of the closet at that time. I told my parents first when I was 18. But my vocal teacher knew without even asking. She knew.”
“I have also continued sharing the knowledge she gave me. I have gay friends who think everything began with Beyoncé. I mean, hello. So I teach them, ‘this is Bob Fosse, this you have to know’.”
