Kogato on November 24, 1991 the world learned the sad news of the death of Freddie Mercury, Adam Lambert was 9 years old, he lives in San Diego, playing in the theater group and in them constantly sounds of music. "My father was a DJ in college - tells Adam - and had a huge collection of vinyl records, mostly rock and pop. In our listening to Bob Dylan, Bob Marley, Madonna, David Bowie, Michael Jackson, Led Zeppelin, Aerosmith, Queen. Mom was a fan of the Stones. He went to their concerts.

"At the time Adam hyperactive child full of energy, very creative and a thousand ideas per second. His parents try to enroll practicing football, basketball, swimming, but the theater is his place. He played in the Educational Children's Theatre of the Metropolitan and after school rehearsals and continued home to invent scenes to change clothes, recite texts. Musicals are his passion. Looking at all possible. 12-13 starts singing - while walking while listening to music while watching TV constantly. All agree that his voice is fantastic. His parents recorded on singing lessons. "I loved - he says. - I had the feeling that I'm good. To be a player had to work hard. I did not like to practice playing the piano. But to sing ... gives me great pleasure. And I realized it was mine. In high school I sang in the choir, played in the theater club and sang with jazz band, good fun. "
"Between Adam Lambert and Freddie has frightening similarities - said Roger Taylor, drummer of Queen, - artistic, open sexuality, wit and playfulness. Sometimes I feel that if Freddy is with us. "
By graduation in 2000, Adam won 12 first and five second places in school competitions for pop and rock music. Then she was taken to UCLA successfully 5.76. He left after 5 weeks and went to Los Angeles. "I just decided I wanted to work in show business, and flew. Life makes sense when you risk to get what you really want. "In LA a living working in musicals. Starred Val Kilmer play in The Ten Commandments: The Musical (The Ten Commandments: The Musical). "It was interesting to work with Kilmer. I was nice to him and we went together to lunch with him and colleagues. For the first time I felt what the reputation is what you want autographs or take pictures with you. "
Over time, his musicals get boring "I needed innovations. I went to the casting of the eighth season of American Idol, because it was nearly 27 years and I destroyed the thought of what I have achieved so far. I participated in several shows. Worked. I could not pay my bills, but I wanted to do something big to show themselves. And I knew that if the deal, Idol will give me a platform. In the New York case. They give on television, you become a star and here's starring role on Broadway. In musicals, in which I participated, I'm not promoted much. The worst option was to harm his career in the theater, the best - to handle it very well. "

"This is their first meeting.
