Adam Lambert and his Glam Nation tour touched down in Wichita, Kansas last week.

Accompanied by opening act and fellow American Idol finalist Allison Iraheta, the singer rocked out to all his big hits, leading the crowd in renditions of "Whataya Want From Me"  and "Fever," among other singles.

This tour visits Idaho tonight and Washington tomorrow. You can also catch Lambert on The Ellen DeGeneres Show on July 26.

But enough informational output. We know what readers want to see: Adam in action! We've published a bevy of performance videos from Kansas below. Sit back, watch and enjoy...

For our entertainment, Warwick Saint has released a number new/old Adam Lambert pictures.

The photographer - who snapped the controversial, glamorous cover photo used by this artist for his debut album - considered multiple images for this featured shot.

Eventually, he and Adam settled on this pic, which Lambert admitted was purposely over-the-top and campy. We love it. But it's interesting to browse through the alternatives.

Do so now and sound off: Did Adam make the right choice?

Adam Lambert kicked off his Glam Nation summer tour last night in New York City with an impression of the Mad Hatter, a bit of man-on-man action and, of course, great music.

The artist performed at the Nokia Theater and, because we've been critical of Miley Cyrus for a simulated same-sex kiss, her ignorant fans will likely get on our case for standing up for Adam and his actions below. But there are major differences here:

  • Miley is straight and pretended to make out with a girl just to seem edgy. Adam actually is gay.
  • Lambert has been flamboyant and eccentric from the moment he stepped on the American Idol stage. Fans always knew exactly what they were getting with him, as there's been no sudden transformation just to sell records - and his clothes remain intact!
  • Adam is not 17 years old.
Man on Man Action

As loyal THG readers know, we adore Adam Lambert.

Few artists out there deliver the kind of energy, enthusiasm and creativity as this former American Idol finalist. Click on the pics below to get closer looks at him in concert last night...

After Tweeting a photo of his head partly shaven, Adam Lambert officially debuted his unusual new hairstyle at last night's MuchMusic Video Awards in Canada.

The unique look helped Lambert become the talk of the red carpet, which is saying a lot when Perez Hilton shows up in a panda-themed suit.

Concert-goers around the country will have a chance to view Lambert - and his flowing, lopsided locks - in person, starting tomorrow night in New York City when his Glam Nation tour begins. For now, we're just asking readers to sound off on his appearance:

  • Bold Style
  • Adam's New Hair

In his new music video, Adam Lambert seems to pay tribute to the Mad Hatter.

In a newly-posted Twitter pic, though, the singer appears to pay tribute to a formerly mad celebrity: Britney Spears.

Lambert has shaven at least part of his head, as evidenced below. He's covered his noggin with a top hat for now, though, a style he'll show off this summer across North America on his new tour.

Do you have a ticket for it yet? And what do you think of this unique look on the unique crooner?

An Intense Look

We've taken you on set and shown you images of Adam Lambert's new music video.

But now we can do fans one better: the video itself!

In "If I Had You," Adam sings about how hollow one's life can be, even when surrounded by material goods and wealth. "The message is one of love," he says, adding:

“Over the past year, in addition to my unbelievable opportunities, I have also been faced with the unique challenge of staying positive in light of some critics and closed mindedness. My friends, family, and my devoted fans have been a key force in keeping me grounded."

You, your talent and your refreshing attitude have all made it easy, Adam.

Below, watch Lambert's official video for this single and then sound off on his Mad Hatter and fog-filled look.

If Adam Lambert were to place an online personal ad, he clearly would not be seeking a SWF with whom he could go on long beach walks.

Instead, in an interview with Frontiers magazine, the singer makes it clear that he's interested in a SYPB. What does that stand for? By the end of this article, you should be able to figure it out...

On the pressure of being an openly gay musician: The thing I keep telling myself whenever the pressure starts looming is that I’ve been doing what I’ve always done, just on a larger scale now, so it’s not so bad! The opportunities that have come from American Idol are amazing.

On current musical influences: I love a lot of the electronica stuff from the UK - Ive been gravitating toward that lately. I had my moment when I was all about the classic rock years back, but lately it’s more about pop-electro stuff. I love Goldfrapp, La Roux. And all of the American pop divas, of course: Gaga, Christina, Madonna, Rihanna. I love all of them.

On the reception he's received: At first I didn’t know if the gay community was really into this or not, what I’m doing. And then slowly but surely I was traveling internationally and domestically and met a lot of gay men and women who were really excited about what’s going on with my record and what I’m doing, and it feels really nice for my community to acknowledge it.

Lambert was then asked if he'd rather sleep with Ryan Seacrest or Simon Cowell, a hilarious question. His response:

Ew. Neither one of them is my type at all. They’re both too old for me. I like pretty boys in their early-to-mid twenties. Make sure you print that.

We've done so, Adam. Single, Young, Pretty Boys, consider yourselves lucky!

In his music video for "If I Had You," Adam Lambert combines the worlds of Willy Wonka with Thriller and Interview with the Vampire.

Sounds about right for the flamboyant artist, doesn't it?

But Lambert toned his look down a bit for a performance on The Tonight Show Friday evening, merely donning a pair of zebra-inspired pants for a rendition of this same single. Judge them for yourself now:

Adam on Leno

Over the past couple weeks, Lambert has appeared at charity event that raised money to fight AIDS; taken part in a concert sponsored by KISS-FM in Los Angeles; been interviewed by Ellen DeGeneres; and come down with a slight case of Bieber Fever.

We hope he's feeling better because there's a tour of North America to go this summer!

Below, enjoy his Tonight Show performance of "If I Had You."

Ready to return to the set of Adam Lambert's "If I Had You?"

Earlier this week, we gave fans a look at the artist's upcoming music video for that single, via this series of photos from it.

Now, we've returned with even more eccentric shots of Adam and his back-up singers/dancers. An insider describes the video as “Willy Wonka meets Thriller meets Interview With The Vampire,” which sounds like the sort of thing Lambert would come up with.

Looks like it, too...

Uh-oh. It's continuing to spread.

In a new interview with OK! Weekly, Adam Lambert is the latest celebrity to admit: I've got a case of Bieber fever.

This infliction doesn't seem as dramatic as other verified outbreaks, as Lambert responded to a question about watching Justin Bieber perform at last Sunday's Wango Tango concert and said:

“I have to say I’m sorry I missed it. I met him before at a couple radio shows, he’s a really nice kid. He’s really friendly and he’s funny... He’s obviously worked really hard. I know adolescent girls are loving him. Good for him.”

Big Glasses, Big Star

Other topics touched on in the discussion included Kris Allen and Adam's upcoming tour. Check out a few excerpts from it:

On Allen: "If there was ever a rivalry it would have been last year and that wasn’t the case. He and I get along so well... We really respect each other."

What will the tour be like? “I would definitely say my theatrical past and sensibility are definitely being put into play. I wanted to create like a story through the music, even if it’s loose and it’s not super clear, I wanted it to make sense to me and my people. So, that when performing these songs, there’s an emotional motive.”

Can American Idol survive without Simon Cowell? “I think people will definitely miss Simon, [but] at the end of the day it’s really about the contestants. That’s why people turn in every week. They get invested and so I think it will be fine.”

Read the full interview now and, as always, sound off: How awesome is Adam Lambert?!?
