New interview including 4 short video interviews in article.. Oh geez they contacted the White House for comments. That recent new selfie that everyone loves was taken at the same time as the video interviews. Singer Adam Lambert praises coronavirus ‘champions,’ says HeWhoCannot amed should defer to medical expertsInternational singer-songwriter Adam Lambert has praised the Governor of California and Mayor of Los Angeles for their responses to Covid-19, but told CNBC that on a federal level, U.S. leadership is “a little bit chaotic.”
The star, who lives in Los Angeles, said there were cases of “really wonderful leadership” in California, but when asked what more he would like President HeWhoCannot amed to do, he replied: “I think it’s more that I want him to do less.”
“It seems to me that when he has a press conference and he speaks, it just makes things worse. So if he would just maybe let the professionals, the medical professionals, step in, I think if he delegated a little bit more responsibly, that might be good,” he told CNBC’s Tania Bryer.
The White House was not immediately available for comment when contacted by CNBC.
Lambert, who has collaborated with rock band Queen as lead vocalist since 2012, described how he and band mates Brian May and Roger Taylor decided to release a lockdown version of one of Queen’s iconic tracks. They have renamed it “You are the Champions,” and it’s being released in aid of the World Health Organization’s Covid-19 Solidarity Response Fund for frontline healthcare workers.
“Brian had been on a great streak of recording covers for his Instagram, and that’s where the idea sparked. He got in touch with us and said let’s do ‘We Are The Champions’,” he said.
“Then we started thinking about who we would dedicate it to, and then we have this idea of why don’t we go as far as to change the title of the song. I think this situation warrants that type of iconic shift and so that’s what we did. We recorded it separately in our houses on cell phones.”
The global artist, who launched his career after being runner-up on American Idol in 2009, told CNBC how he thinks the music industry will be impacted by Covid-19.
“I do think that we’re going to see a lot of alternatives to the live performance space. Everyone’s sort of scrambling and finding new technology which is incredible. And it’s exciting in a way, because I think it’s a new challenge,” he said.
“Now that music is being consumed in this digital format and streaming is sort of the main way that people get to hear things, I almost think in some ways it may be a great time for us to be releasing music that way.”

New interview including 4 short video interviews in article.. Oh geez they contacted the White House for comments. I'm sure Adam is disappointed he didn't get his very own insulting nickname from Donald HeWhoCannot amed. Neil and Eber would have been jealous forever. LOL

He's so thoughtful and well spoken, seems to be handling everything well. Obviously he misses performing and I'm glad he's talking to someone regularly. Love the live performances of Roses and CTY! Hopefully more to come!

Good Morning everyone! This site is so important to me - it surely fills in gaps while we're all so isolated. Adam's interviews were fabulous as usual! He's smart and eloquent and beautiful to watch. They were all great interviews. Wow! I wish they hadn't reached out to The White Houses! The last thing Adam needs is to be mixed up in that mess. Oh well -- we'll see. Also - 3 quick questions (just curious) that I'm sure y'all will know - 1. What does Neil do for a living? He's so clever and smart and quick-witted. I hope he's able to put all that to good use. 2. Where does Eber live? How close to Adam?? 3. Did Adam's other house ever sell?? I know he had a sale -- then I didn't hear anything further. These questions are all so " not important" but I am curious. Love y'all & thanks!!
