To me it sounds like the rest of the second rate mainstream pop trash.

Totally agree. I was really disappointed to hear it, expected something entirely different out of him... Blargh

He did say on some interview that the album is more of a fun thing, and no one should take it seriously. But he corrected himself & then said that it DOES have a meaning. Forget about the make up your mind thing - where is that big old voice that i loved so much? I was hypnotized with "Mad World"... And then Adam got meaningless. Hate that!

I got it for Christmas. I'm afraid to listen to it. Guys, tell me, does the entire album suck as much as "Time for Miracles"?

Listen to this one, it has a Mad World-ish sound (he co-wrote it):



Also, this is a vocally great song:


And to the last post, the album is great..there's something for everyone. If you don't like dance songs, there's ballads and more rock-leaning songs. :)

Adam Lambert
 
The other thread about him is specifically for one song, so I wanted to make one about him in general. :)

Here are his two music videos from his album:

For Your Entertainment


and his current single, Whataya Want From Me

so why did you bother starting a 2nd thread if you're just going repost the same stuff for the most part?

Because I wanted to post his other new music video, but not in a thread about his other song "For Your Entertainment", so I thought it would be easier to just make a general thread.

He was on Oprah today!



Performance of WWFM:


(There was more of the interview, but that's good enough)

Someone please tell me what is the difference between:

Jack Johnson
Jason Mraz
John Mayer
Josh Groban
Adam Lambert
Justin Bieber
Gavin DeGraw
Matt Nathanson
Etc...

I suspect they are all the same person attempting to make an insane profit. Whoever is their costume artist is a genius!

I think what he meant was that it's all "mainstream" and sort of marketed towards the same people!

I've never listened to his music, but i really dislike the way he dresses (i know it isn't a very constructive thing to say :)).

jayfin3 02-03-2010 03:42 PM

I don't know...I listened to a couple of his songs, and there is very little to distinguish it from those other guys.

Well, I listen to Jack Johnson, Jason Mraz, Justin Bieber and Adam Lambert. The others I've heard once or twice. Anyway, I've got to disagree that Jason Mraz is the same as Justin Bieber and Adam Lambert. After listening to a couple of Jason Mraz's stuff, it's completely different from Adam Lambert. I kind of had a Jason Mraz phase and was so entranced by his lyrics. Some were pretty playful, sexual, and cleverly hidden within the lyrics. For some reason Adam Lambert's album "For Your Entertainment" doesn't do the same for me as Mraz's "We Sing, We Dance, We Steal Things."

I can't add much to Justin Bieber and Jack Johnson. I've listened to them, but not enough to put much of an opinion on them. Eh, I guess I'm biased since I listened to Jason Mraz first?

This song really didn't click well with me. I expected much more out of Adam and I see that he was turned into this. Well...at least for this one song. "What Do You Want From Me" by Adam Lambert is a much better song. It may not be top notch Lambert, but it's a lot more Lambert than this song.

scottsy 02-20-2010 11:31 AM

I thought he was going to be some sort of shock rocker type dude..... turns out he's far more middle of the road than that...

beckyc36 02-24-2010 07:41 PM

Adam Lambert is ...different I'll say that. I really thought he would do more of a rocker album too. After his AMA performance I'm not sure if he's got staying power..It's a shame to ruin your career right out of the box. I recently ran across a youtube young singer that covered some of Adam's songs as well as other popular ones and he's amazing. I believe he's just 17 or 18 but is a seasoned artist. Plays well with the camera, ie eye contact and vocals are brilliant. I've been watching him for almost a month now. Blare Levoir is his name. I believe we need more like him that aren't in it for the shock value..just old school talent and charm. I'm looking forward to music the way it use to be when I was growing up. Peace

beckyc36 02-25-2010 11:13 PM

Yeah he's less popular than Adam but I think he's very new. Someone said he only started posting vids a little over a month ago. I predict he will be as big or bigger than Adam. Very cute kid

scottsy 02-28-2010 09:56 AM

I don't hold much hope for Lambert's longevity... once he's ridden out the American Idol popularity wave there's a good chance he'll run dry on ideas, unless he finds a way to reinvent himself somewhat... he'll become boring at some point though, I'm sure...

KenKaid 03-10-2010 09:45 PM

ShadowsScream 07-04-2010 06:07 PM

I love Adam. His songs get stuck in my head.
