Q3 note: Last year, Adam co-presented the first drag queen Barbie – the original one-of-a-kind Pink Diamond™ Barbie® doll by design duo Phillipe and David Blond. Over the past year, the rumor mill churned and that resulted in the now debunked “Adam in Drag on Glee” rumor!

Two Nice Reviews For Lay Me Down


Long Island Newsday

Avicii's 'True' review: EDM that crosses over

For "Lay Me Down," Avicii assembles a formidable crew to combine funk with EDM, using an impressive Nile Rodgers guitar groove and Adam Lambert's potent vocals to build a crazy, cross-generational dance jam that's somehow both current and timeless. He uses Dan Tyminski (of "O Brother, Where Art Thou's" soundtrack) to bring country-tinged drama to "Hey Brother," while Audra Mae helps turn "Dear Boy" into a super-catchy mix of Lana Del Rey and Zedd's "Clarity."

‘True’: Avicii’s Genre-Defying Album [Beatdrop Review]


Lay Me Down

Legendary producer and guitarist, Nile Rogers, who has produced hits for Madonna, Duran Duran, David Bowie, Diana Ross, and more, starts us out with some nice jazzy guitar helped up by an approaching drum, then backed by Adam Lambert’s rock-star powered vocals. The fun and funky jam of the song gets upheld by Nile Rogers on jazz guitar, plus added bass that keeps it feeling Rogers-esque, then we get lifted by Avicii percussion that will surely be getting arms in the air when it takes over soundwaves in the radio and clubs. Adam Lambert has a voice that always makes us want to sing with him, and he does it again. This song is sure to be a massive hit.

The names in the collaboration already speak for themselves and with Avicii bringing another stellar melody that will get stuck in your head, backed by Adam Lambert’s voice and Nile Rogers guitar riffs, the barriers of song genre are once again broken. It’s so unique and special and creative, this track will do more for music in the future than people know. At the same time it adds inspiration to artists previously afraid to cross-genres and mix artist categories, as it does so well and with absolute success. Grammy nods predicted on this one.

No Drag On Glee


MJSBigBlog previously reported that Adam's character would be a drag queen on Glee. To quote a brilliant man:

Rumors are funny, pesky lil things.


"Update" from MJ's:

Glee Season 5: Adam Lambert Spoiler Update (Changes Have Been Made)
by MJ on 09/17/2013

I’ve got some brand new information on the character Adam Lambert will play on Glee.

Adam’s character WILL NOT BE A DRAG QUEEN. There will be NO performances in drag.

Drag was the original plan for Adam’s character, but at his request, the character will be rewritten. Adam met with the Glee writers/producers this week to discuss the changes.

Also, Adam won’t be singing Lady Gaga’s “Judas,” also at his request. However, he’s still set to perform “Applause.”

Production on Adam’s first episode, 5×04, begins next week.

And that’s all I got.
