Adam Lambert
Gossip

Like Godzilla before him, Adam Lambert took over Tokyo this week. But there was no violence and no deaths in his wake. Just screaming fans.

The singer glammed it up like we all love Club Eleven on Monday night. Check out photos of classic Adam below:

Click on each above image to enlarge it. We figure this might take a few hours for most dedicated followers... but when you're finished ogling, check out a video of Adam's performance below.

How awesome is this guy?!?

VH1 won't air its premiere of the new Unplugged, featuring Adam Lambert, until April 9.

But fans of this singer don't need to wait until then to check out a couple acoustic versions of Lambert singles.

Below, you can watch Adam serenade the audience with "Whatdaya Want From Me" and "Down the Rabbit Hole." What do you think of these stripped-down renditions?

We love Adam Lambert and we admire the enthusiasm and loyalty of his fans.

But we got into a bit of a stand-off with them last month when THG ran a story that said Lambert "ripped" Susan Boyle, referring to her her album as "terrible" and her rendition of "Wild Horses" as laughable.

Supporters of this singer jumped down our throat for misquoting the superstar, claiming we were going after Google hits (via our harsh word choice) instead of the truth. This critique prompted us to pen an editorial in which we told Adam fans to "chill out."

Since then, we've made up... right, Lambert lovers? But we still feel the need to defend our professional integrity and state: Adam really doesn't like Boyle's work. In a new interview with The Herald Sun, he was asked about his comment and said:

"It came across a bit harsher than how it actually went down. But I'm not a fan of the record, it wasn't a lie."

Let's all move on now. Adam has. He talked about the perception of American Idol in the same interview:

"[People think] you come off the show and all of a sudden you are put in this machine and puppeted into this product. That's not my experience at all.

"I'm a pretty outspoken, upfront, forward type of person, and I have opinions about what I want to be as an artist. I told them I want to be glam, be pop, be rock, I want to be everything, blend it all together and have a great time doing it. Be theatrical and be out there."

That's certainly who Lambert is - and we adore him for remaining true to himself.

We can describe the performance of Adam Lambert in Sydney, Australia this week with three words: Diamond-encrusted crotch plate.

The singer remained true to his controversial, racy self last night by performing Down Under and rocking out to "For Your Entertainment." He thrusted his private parts, he wore a skintight outfit and he even started the performance with a rendition of the robot.

Not everyone will love it, but Adam knows that. He's simply proud of who he is and doesn't cower in the face of critics. It would be nice if everyone shared those traits, wouldn't it?

Thank you to readers for sending in the following clip. It's a video of Adam singing an acoustic version of "Whataya Want From Me." Great stuff below.

Sit back and get comfortable, Adam Lambert fans:

The singer has released "Voodoo" online, a track from the international version of this debut album.

Lambert linked to the single on his Twitter account and wrote: “Song will be released soon in US on [Whataya Want From Me] & [For Your Entertainment] Remix EP!”

Remember: Adam will appear this Wednesday on VH1’s Unplugged. Tune in to hear acoustic renditions of his most popular songs.

What do you think of Lambert's latest single?

Get your DVRs ready, Adam Lambert fans.

On March 10, the singer will kick off a new round of Unplugged on VH1. The original series debuted on MTV in 1989. It features artists in an intimate setting, surrounded by audience members, and singing acoustic versions of their hits.

Memorable past performances on the concert special include Mariah Carey (1992), 10,000 Maniacs (1993) and Lauryn Hill (2002).

Lambert's installment will be the first of eight new episodes, which will also highlight Phoenix (on MTV), The Script (on VH1) and Reba McEntire (on CMT). Take a look at the following shot of Lambert going Unplugged...

** The concert was taped on March 10 and will air on April 9.

Jay Leno had a pair of contrasting guests on The Tonight Show last night.

First, there was Sarah Palin, mocking her own idiocy by reading notes off her hand again. What a joker!

Then, there was musical guest Adam Lambert. It's safe to assume Palin wouldn't include him in her fantasy version of "real America."

The singer debuted a new single on the program, "Sleepwalker." Check it out below and then weigh in with your opinion:

What do you think of this song?

Adam Lambert is off to Great Britain.

The American Idol finalist is pretty much a stranger to that country, so News of the World - one of that nation's leading supermarket tabloids - interviewed Lambert the month before he makes his first overseas appearance there.

Describing him as "Lad Gaga" for his "outspoken attitudes" and "rauncy routines," the unreliable source spoke to the singer in NYC and asked him if he'd ever sleep with a woman.

"I find women beautiful and I have been known to make out with girls at parties, especially when there is alcohol involved," Adam said, days after his publicize kiss with Ke$ha. "I am a pretty open-minded person and I would have sex with a woman... anything is possible because I am really comfortable with sexuality generally."  

This isn't the first time Lambert has spoken about his curiosity over women. We could think of a few (million) fans that wouldn't mind showing Adam what he's been missing.

Delving into his adolescence, the tabloid also asked Lambert about influences such as Boy George and David Bowie. During this line of questioning, the singer's past drug use came out. He said:

"I went wild and I was experimenting with certain substances... At 26, I started running with hippies, going to underground events, I was really drawn to that crowd, everyone embraced each others differences.

There are certain drugs out there that are really fun and recreational and can mean a good time. I'm not an advocate for drugs, but it is all rock and roll and we are all adults."

More honesty from the star. Some might criticize him for this admission, others will simply admire him more.

Where do you stand?

Adam Lambert will return to the American Idol stage this season.

A few hours after Allison Iraheta and Kris Allen performed for fans, Lambert Tweeted today:

"Yes, I have been booked on Idol! Can't reveal the date yet but it's a ways off... So excited. Kris and Allison were awesome last night."

They sure were. But Lambert's debut album sold the most copies of any season eight finalist and his appearance later this year is sure to draw huge ratings.

But which competitors will still be around to see him? Our money is on Andrew Garcia, Casey James, Didi Benami or Crystal Bowersox to walk away with the season nine crown. What do you think?

A day after an Internet uproar was created over Adam Lambert's critique of Susan Boyle, we know how badly fans of the singer want the spotlight to shift away from this topic.

Trust us: we really know. We've been engaging in a lively debate with supporters over their occasionally intense reaction to negative talk about Adam.

But as fellow fans of the talented crooner, we agree: let's move on. Let's make sure Lambert is NOT misquoted when it comes to his personal sense of style.

With that in mind, we've posted an extensive interview with Adam below. In it, he chooses three words to describe his fashion taste; dishes on the outfits he wore on American Idol and in music videos; and comes across as the well-spoken star millions and millions admire.
