twitter.com/ALAlwayz/status/1588949021976330240Adam Lambert went from auditioning with a Queen song to touring alongside the legendary band.
After wrapping up a National Tour of "Wicked," Lambert auditioned for "Idol" in 2008. He foreshadowed the future of his career by singing Queen's "Bohemian Rhapsody" for the judges. And despite Cowell's remarks that he was too "theatrical," he got four yeses. After Kris Allen beat Lambert on the finale, Allen told Rolling Stone in 2009 that the runner-up deserved to win. Lambert went on to record his first album, "For Your Entertainment," which debuted at No. 3 and was eventually certified Gold in the US and Platinum around the world. A single from the album, "Whataya Want From Me," was even nominated for a Grammy. Since 2014, Lambert has served as the lead vocalist for Queen + Adam Lambert and has toured with the band countless times worldwide. He's also been a guest judge on a variety of TV competitions, from VH1's "RuPaul's Drag Race" to Fox's "The X Factor." In addition to his success as a singer, Lambert founded the Feel Something Foundation in 2019, which aims to support LGBTQ+ human rights. The singer is currently performing his solo concert series "The Witch Hunt."

The problem with the cost of certification is that EVERYONE who is credited on the album has to get a plaque and those are paid for by the artist (or record label ultimately charged to the artist) and FYE album and the songs on it had a LOT of people credited. If Adam chooses not to spend the money then that is entirely up to him. The benefit does not nearly approach the potential cost. Thanks. I agree that it is his money and I have heard that before about the cost. But is that the reason or just fan speculation that it is too costly? I know Kelly had a few that were not certified too but many that were. But I don't think I have ever heard Adam say anything one way or the other. Not a big deal at this point but was just curious, lol. We will likely never know for sure because it's not something Adam is likely to talk about or maybe even think about. Certification is most often used by record companies as status symbol type stuff. It was usually used as marketing clout. These days I just don't think it has the same impact it used to.
