Adam Lambert Songs Remixed: Listen to 5 of the Best

Adam Lambert has come such a long way from his start on American Idol that sometimes it’s hard to remember he was ever even on it.
Between having 10 songs hit the Hot 100, being the first openly gay artist to top the Billboard 200 with his album Trespassing, touring with Queen as the lead vocalist for Queen + Adam Lambert, and his recent appearance as “Eddie” in The Rocky Horror Picture Show: Let’s Do the Time Warp Again, Lambert is continually leaving his mark on music.
To reinforce just how far-reaching his influence is, here are five of the best Adam Lambert songs remixed.
Adam Lambert - “Whataya Want From Me” (Jason Nevins Remix)
It may be extending the original by almost an entire three minutes, but Jason Nevins' remix of this Adam Lambert song is anything but boring, with the underlying bass going it just gives you more time to lose yourself in the track.
Adam Lambert - “Mad World” (DJ Németh House Remix)
"Mad World" is a relatively somber-sounding track, with the piano making it all the more eerie. So to hear it pulsing and with a bass drop at 1:30 is too good to pass up.
Adam Lambert - “If I Had You” (Dangerous Muse Remix)
After hearing this track, it's hard to picture it any other way. "If I Had You" was meant to be heard in all its up-tempo glory, with a stutter of Lambert's vocals.
Adam Lambert - “Better Than I Know Myself” (Robert Marvin & Shearer Remix)
The use of bass in the intro is one of the highlights of the entire remix, giving Adam Lambert's song "Better Than I Know Myself" new life as a jam you could see you and your squad walking into the club to.
Adam Lambert - “Ghost Town” (Blood Diamonds Remix)
The use of echoes and vibrations as the sharp drums lead into the chorus help maintain the phantasmal feel of an actual ghost town, without leaving it too close to the original Adam Lambert song.

x-factor-2016-qfs-caps-7X Factor final duets! Saara Aalto wants to sing with Adam Lambert at Wembley!
X Factor's Saara Aalto is hoping to sing with Adam Lambert again, this time on her album.
The runner up on this year's show signed a five album record deal this past week, making for a great Christmas present.
Saara first announced the news on Tuesday in Finland, saying: "I have this record deal with Sony Music UK and Sony Music Finland, together so we're going to make a very global album next year. I can't wait to get back to work next year.
"It's going to be very exciting... YAY!"
She added: “I think it hasn’t really sunk in yet, it’s too much, it’s too big.
“I’ll probably understand in January when we are ready to start work on the tracks.”
Speaking to The Sun newspaper, Saara revealed she hoped to duet with Adam on the record after singing with him in The X Factor final earlier this month.
She said: “Adam and I have been tweeting and sending some Instagram messages to each other. He used to have a Finnish boyfriend so he has a connection and can even speak some Finnish things.
"We immediately connected and hopefully in the future we can work together – he said it would be really nice to do something together so let’s see.”
Meanwhile, chatting to BANG Showbiz, Adam was more than up for working with Saara again: “A collaboration? Who knows, but it is always possible.
"She is absolutely lovely, she has been tweeting me weeks before this all came out. I feel like it was meant to be, she is lovely.”
Saara's first album will be out next year following the live X Factor tour.
