Adam Lambert Breaks Down His Queer Journey, Early 'Idol' Success & Touring with Queen | Them 

He deserves all the accolades. He is a once in a generation vocalist.

Teenage me was obsessed with him, adult me continues to be. I'm so happy that it worked out for him.

Adam's parents are awesome. I wish the parents of every lgbtq kid could be that understanding.

"Ignorance is the biggest enemy of change" is the truest sentence ever spoken and should be on banners and T-shirts.

My first concert was Queen 1977. I saw Queen live four different amazing tours. I liked Lambert on Idol, but I thought I would never see Queen+Lambert because I saw Freddie. Freddie was The Best. This last Q+L "Rhapsody Tour" I decided to take my wife and see Brian and Roger once more. The show was terrific, and Lamberts' voice is exceptional singing the Queen catolog. We had a great time.

How can you NOT love this amazing human being?! 🥰

Praise to Adam’s mother… Adam in the American Idol contest allowed my husband and I to watch with our young daughter …and to affirm him for being himself. So glad he took a chance. He never lost us. We admired him even more. And December 2023 he sang in Westminster Cathedral for the Christmas carol service. There you go, Adam! 🐑🐑🇳🇿🇳🇿NZ

Adam is an amazing singer and story teller. I love that he is himself and doesn't care what people think. Hats off to him ❤❤❤❤❤

Adam + Mad World = STILL one of the most amazing emotional journeys I've ever been on listening to a song. Adore it to this day.

I’ve been a hardcore fan since I in stood in my living room, jaw dropped, mouth hanging wide open, watching him sing his version of “Ring of Fire” on American Idol. I was mesmerized during that performance and knew beyond a doubt that he would end up a super star. Not a doubt. Best vocalist I’ve ever heard in my 53 years!

Adam has such a down to Earth personality. I didn't know he had so much professional experience before American Idol, but thought he was beyond his years. His voice and range amaze me.

I personally believe he was the best contender in American Idol

Such a major talent! So happy for him that his parents were supportive of him in all the ways. He seems so well-adjusted. Wish all kids had that kind of support.

Adam is a gift. His singing is among the best of the last 100 years. I'm glad he's coming into his own and being recognized for who he is as a person as well as his stage persona. His story as well as his incredible music is amazing. I really appreciate his voice in all its beautiful dimensions!

You can definitely see the moment he talks about on the Idol finale when Brian May gives him that "Oh!!!" look! 😃

I'm sorry now that I was one of those people who didn't vote for him because I wasn't comfortable with his performances. That isn't me today. Thank you Adam.

Adam is phenomenal and I will always say that , he needs to be talked about more , his music is outstanding and to be a frontman of queen for this long is just incredible! Roger and Brian are his friends they have built a friendship and that's why it's lasted so long ❤ we are all so proud of you Adam ❤

Your parents must be so proud, but also you must be so proud of your parents ❤

Love listening to you Adam your such an inspiration to many people, love how supportive you are to the lgbtq community, your such a humble beautiful soul, I absolutely adore you ❤

One of a kind talent

I could listen to him talk all day. He is so inspiring. I am curious to see what his new direction is….

Adam always speaks so eloquently. I love his interviews. I became a fan when I saw him performing with Queen. I love his music, particularly Velvet. I love him a little bit more each time I see him interviewed. 💖Thank you for posting this.

Saw him in Denver a few months ago. Truly the most amazing concert. His talent is off the charts and his personality is so charming.

My heart is so full, you are so sweet, loving and open. You are so Adam, Adam we looooove and cherish. I am so proud of you 🫶🫶

I remember watching him, way back . He has come a long way, and he looks soooo handsome now. ❤

I am 82 and Love Adam! He is so gifted with that voice. Also hasn't have ego issues. Proud of him.

You are a rockstar Adam!!! Let me elaborate. You are solid as in rock solid. Knowing who you are. You are bright as in a bright shining star. Bright meaning smart. Your the reason I watched American Idol that season. And following your career has been a delight. Merry Christmas Adam. My wish for you is that you read this!!! Keep sharing your truth, it does make a difference in this world!

Took a pic with you in 2009. That has been my wallpaper ever since! Loved you then, still love you!

I’m so happy to see this episode. He’s been a fixture of my coming out journey and has given me so much courage to be myself. Such an eloquent speaker, so smart, and fun.

So happy for all of Adam's success. So incredibly talented

The sweetest heart on the planet Earth! Adorable ADAM ❤

I love this guy he is not only a lovely human but the very best singer .

It’s only recently that I have taken an interest in Adam Lambert I knew of him but never heard him sing, he is amazing. Listening to him talk honestly and openly about himself shows great courage and integrity. I really admire him and I wish him continued success 😊❤️

Love Adam forever and ever and he is looking gorgeous.

What a beautiful human; inside, outside, and his music. ❤

I fell in love with Adam's voice and personality.

Love Adam then, now and forever!!!

I love Adam! I always thought he was very talented. I'm a senior widow, mom, grandma but I'm a music fan. Queen was my fav!

He deserves the world, i really love him, he's nice, funny, empathetic, he's voice is a blessing 🙏🏼 he's such a joy. He definitely kick me out of years of depression. by being himself, he helps me to be comfortable with myself, he makes me happy every day. He's an Icon ✨ and it's a pleasure to travel around the world to see him 💓

the greatest vocalist alive today -- there isn't ONE male vocalist (or female !) who sings in as many languages as Adam, nor is there one who sings in as many genres as Adam -- go check out the video where Adam is singing "SOAKED" (following American Idol), during his Glam Nation Live tour, in Indianapolis. It is mesmerizing, my all-time favorite to date, not only because of the voice, but the theatrics is outstanding and the audience is speechless.

THIS WAS BEYOND ICONIC

Your music saved my life. I will forever love you.

Loved hearing part of Adam's story, love Adam, love his voice, can never get enough of this extremely gifted singer.

I am 69 and appreciate your share. I hope you come to NH or MA with Queen so I can celebrate YOU and the fabulous Queen group. I feel you honor Freddie. Queen brings you up front where you deserve to be❤ I am all over utube reading and listening to you. 👏👏👏👏👏

Love listening to Adam and he’s looking pretty fantastic too!❤️

Love you.. you are so humble ,confident & honest..

Love his voice both singing and speaking. His braveness too.

Love you, Adam!

He's so F-ing Intelligent!

Adams Amazing and just love hearing him “rambling on” about himself!! He’s such a gift 🥰💜😘

An amazing complete entertainer. I have just started really watching Adam ...I know I am late. Honestly I am 77 and love this guy...what an awesome talent.

It's crazy to see how much has happened since idol days and I'm still so proud to be a fan of Adam. Thanks for the trip down memory lane!

Love him! He’s so brave.

An Icon

I love Adam. He is always so honest!

I LOVE Adam He’s phenomenal! Very intelligent, superb vocalist and a TRAILBLAZER. I’m behind you 100% Adam.

Adam is a classy guy. So much talent ❤

Great story …..so talented and what a gorgeous voice.

I have always loved to listen to Adam speak. He is sooo intelligent, charismatic and talented. He is my favorite singer in the world. Happy New Year, Adam!!

The first time I heard Adam sing, my 1st thought was that if anyone could fill in for the amazing Freddy Mercury it would have to be Adam. He has everything it takes to cover Freddy. The voice the flash, he's the perfect fit!

I've loved his music since Idol, and this October, saw him with Queen twice. He is a beautiful soul and hugely talented singer & showman.

Love Adam! Always have,always will!!

He is an icon! So happy he can continue to do what he loves and we get to come along for the spectacular ride!

I love adam lambert he is an awesome singer. Don't stop what your doing you are amazing

This interview just reaffirms why I love Adam and his music so much. He's humble, honest, genuine and charming. And the list of his attributes goes on and on.

Such an amazing artist.youre awesome.we love you

Adam I'm a huge queen fan. At first it was like no no nobody can fill the lead roll that was Freddie's roll. Took me to actually watch you and now love you. My mom never let me do anything as a kid so I was never ever able to go to a concert let alone my favorite band queen. I hope someday I will be able to go to one of your concerts as an older person this is probably just dreaming. Just want to let you know love what you do what you stand for. Keep on keeping on. Bobi

Love Adam since day 1 ❤

Years ago, after watching the video for "For Your Entertainment," a friend of mine said, "I've always been straight as an arrow, but those eyebrows have me reconsidering." Thank you for sharing your story with us. (And yeah, you have some seriously amazing eyebrow magic happening.)

Not only is he an extraordinary talent, but he is well spoken and balanced. And caring!
