Adam Lambert Dallas interview: ‘I used to not necessarily be a risk taker’ – by dallasnews.com


Darla Atlas from dallasnews.com has published her notes from the interview with Adam Lambert once he met the press before the concert.
Published on the 24th of July 2009.

To begin with, the author noticed: ‘I think his fans would appreciate knowing that when he sits down for a chat, he’s engaging and very modest. (Lemme tell ya, this isn’t always the case.) He was a delight’.

And the highlights from the interview are below:

Adam Lambert about Idol Tour

“We’ve had major support in every city we’ve gone to – even in the more conservative cities, and I didn’t expect to have that much support. It’s been amazing. Onstage, there’s just so much positive energy coming at you.”

Tired of people telling he was robbed of the title?

“Yeah, I am. It’s a very sweet sentiment, but in a way, it’s in the past. And it really doesn’t mater, because I’m still here on tour, I’m still performing for everybody and I’m still getting to create an album that I’m working on right now. And I got to be on the cover of Rolling Stone, so everything’s been awesome.”

About the album

It’s everything – rock, pop, dance, funk, a lot of electronic production and a lot of rock production. I really don’t feel like there’s any need to stick to one genre; that’s not me as a performer.

Keeping his voice in fine form

It’s tough! It is a lot of work. I just drink lots of water and take care of myself, eat healthy, try not to talk too much – which is hard for me. I try to get as much sleep as possible. Mind over matter.

Interesting fan reactions

I get a lot of very excited, physical women, and it’s always really sweet and it means a lot, but sometimes I get a little smothered. But I know the thing is that it’s all from the heart, and I love that. The expression is real and genuine, and that’s what matters.

Something you’d never guess about Adam Lambert

I used to not necessarily be a risk taker. I was kind of nervous to put myself out there, both personally and professionally. I used to get really nervous at auditions.
But I’m 27, so I’ve had a handful of years to kind of grow out of it. I’ve just become more brave, more comfortable in my own skin.


Advice for future Idol hopefuls:

Find something that makes you different – but make sure it’s true to who you are, and go for it 125 percent. I mean, go for it. The actual material you’re singing, the way you present yourself visually, you’ve got to commit 125 percent, or else you’ll be overlooked. You need to stand out.

    HaHa! Such diplomacy. “I get a lot of very excited, physical women…” That has to be put in the Guiness Book of Records as the understatement of the year.
