Q&A with Adam Lambert
By Victoria Barker
My Paper (Asia One)
Wednesday, Feb 27, 2013
Adam Lambert has been on a winning streak since coming in second on American Idol in 2009.
My Paper caught up with the 31-year-old ahead of his first full-length Singapore show next Friday.
You executive-produced Trespassing, your second album. How important is it for you to have full control over your material?
I wanted, as much as I could, to put my own stamp on that album. I felt that I owed fans that as a "thank you" for their loyalty.
American Idol this season has seen a slew of unconventional contestants.
Do you think, having been one of the more flamboyant and outspoken contestants, that you've opened up a new market for the show?
Yeah, I noticed that, too... It's a diverse group. There are all types (of people on the show) this year. Sexuality has been treated as more of a non-issue, which makes me think that we are moving forward as a society, as far as acceptance goes. I applaud the producers for being so progressive.
What do you think of the Nicki Minaj-Mariah Carey "feud" on the show?
I think it makes for good TV. It's quite entertaining.
You recently faced some backlash for criticising the singing in the Oscar-winning film Les Miserables. Do you wish you were better at holding your tongue?
I've always had strong opinions and I'm not afraid to voice them.
I love a good discussion or debate, and I don't believe in holding something back because someone may disagree.
What can fans expect at your show?
Fans will get to hear some of my favourite songs from my debut album, For Your Entertainment, and from Trespassing, as well as some exciting covers.
There's some great fashion, dance and lighting to go along with everything.
Adam Lambert performs at 8pm next Friday, at The Star Performing Arts Centre.
Tickets, from $88 to $188, are available from Sistic (tel: 6348-5555)
