Happy Birthday Adam!!!!!
Adam has selected the True Colors Fund as his birthday charity.
Campaign Details
In America, up to 40% of youth experiencing homelessness identify as lesbian, gay, bisexual, or transgender (LGBT), while just 7% of the general youth population identifies as LGBT. The discrepancy is overwhelming and it's impossible to ignore.
Adam believes that no young person deserves to be homeless – let alone because of their sexual orientation or gender identity. For his birthday this year, the singer, songwriter, and current Queen frontman is asking fans to donate in support of the effort to end LGBT youth homelessness. Your support will enable the True Colors Fund to continue our work to not only end LGBT youth homelessness in America, but prevent young people from becoming homeless in the first place.
With your help, we can create a world in which all young people can be their true selves. Are you with us?

Adam Lambert didn’t win American Idol and that hasn’t done him any harm whatsoever.
In 2009, Lambert was runner-up in the reality TV show to someone called Kris Allen. Allen won the show, Lambert won the career.
Adam Lambert now has three hit albums to his name. ‘For Your Entertainment’ reached no 3 in the USA and no 5 in Australia, ‘Trespassing’ was no 1 in the USA and no 10 in Australia and ‘The Original High’ was a no 3 album in America and no 4 in Australia.

Adam Lambert hits all the big notes to prove he really is the original high at Adelaide Entertainment Centre concert
January 28, 2016 7:41pm
PATRICK McDONALD The Advertiser
High camp, high energy and endless high notes: It’s no wonder that singer Adam Lambert has the audacity to brand himself, his latest album and this tour as The Original High, because he justifies the label at every turn.
Like former Queen frontman Freddie Mercury, whose spot he has filled so superbly with that classic rock band on its recent tours, Lambert also harbours an unbridled passion for dance music which is reflected in his solo material.
To a melodramatic and suitably regal overture, Lambert made his entrance with Evil in the Night in a layered, geometric-cut black-and-white smock top, matching shorts and knee-high boots — the first of many outfit changes.
For possibly the first time, the four-screen video backdrop and massive, ever-evolving lighting rig made the Adelaide Entertainment Centre’s boxy Theatre venue actually feel like a full-blown concert setting, rather than something staged in a school auditorium.
A four-piece band led by musical director Peter Dyer — on two keyboards and three laptops, no less — lent a rock edge and some real grunt to even the most club-orientated of Lambert’s tunes, while two backing singers doubled as dancers for some sexily choreographed routines.
Lambert jumped back to his first album with For Your Entertainment, then mashed up a lonesome Ennio Morricone-style spaghetti western whistle with thundering drum-and-bass on the new album’s opener Ghost Town and let his voice soar on the uplifting Runnin’.
The more mellow Underground led into another new rock track, Lucy, complete with an exotic female dance routine and ending with a sizzling, extended Les Paul guitar solo from Adam Ross (doubling for Queen’s Brian May).
Having got the “anger” portion of his show out of the way, Lambert returned in a hot pink suit to mesmerise the audience with his impassioned American Idol piano version of Tears for Fears’ Mad World, giving his vocals a real workout as he improvised around the melody.
After the crowd sang him a chorus of Happy Birthday (he turned 34 at midnight), Lambert kept the ballads coming with the pure, masterful vocal control of Whataya Want From Me and There I Said It.
Another wardrobe change to gold bomber jacket and military fatigues also saw Lambert switch to club mode, evoking ’90s house music on The Original High and Never Close Our Eyes.
Without warning, he paid tribute the late David Bowie in a faithfully snappy rendition of Let’s Dance, complete with uber-cool dance moves, then went into pure disco territory on Avicii’s Lay Me Down.
Neon signs flashed and dissolved in the nightclub haze of Underground and Fever, before the pulsing groove of Trespassing melded into the creeping bassline of Queen’s Another One Bites the Dust and back again for the big finale.
A reggae-flavoured encore on If I Had You allowed Lambert — now in a flowing Aztec-patterned caftan top — to introduce his band, lead a crowd call-and-response and finally leave us on the promised “high”.
Earlier, “super-excited” US support act, The Voice former contestant Melanie Martinez and her two fluffy-ear wearing backing musicians delivered a punchy, animated half-hour set of crowd-pleasing pop tunes.
Dressed in a white babydoll nightdress with her hair divided down the middle between blonde and brunette, Martinez launched wasted no time launching into the title track of her album Cry Baby, with its Gotye-like plinking keyboards and a voice that was momentarily reminiscent of the late Chrissy Amphlett.
She covered a delicately strummed version of Jeremih’s ballad Remember Me, and there were big screams of recognition from the crowd for the clockwork rhythm of the hit Soap and Pity Party, her bass-heavy R’n’B reworking of Lesley Gore’s It’s My Party (And I’ll Cry If I Want To), which suggests Martinez has the quirky goods necessary to make her own mark as a future star.

'American Idol': A Look Back at Hollywood Week Group Performances With Chris Daughtry

When Adam Lambert took the microphone to perform "Some Kind of Wonderful" in his group round, you could tell by the look on Simon Cowell's face they had someone special.
Every American Idol Finalist Ranked From Worst To Best
By Maura Johnston
4. Adam Lambert (Season 8, Runner-up)
He brought sitars, “Mad World,” glitter, and Burning-Man weirdness to the Idol stage, which says a lot. Even when his vocals wavered, he remained the compelling white-hot center of season eight, a completely unpredictable one-man carnival whose energy transformed that year of Idol into one still argued about today. It’s almost right that he didn’t win; he didn’t need the spotlight afforded by an Idol victory, and his performing background no doubt made him aware that the best performers are the ones who let their co-stars shine just as brightly.
