Will Adam Lambert Go Pop?

Posted Tue May 26, 2009 7:13pm PDT by Lyndsey Parker in Reality Rocks

As the Associated Press reported today, while Adam Lambert is excited about the prospect of collaborating with his American Idol finale duet partners Queen--who, according to rumors, may be offering him a job as their new frontman--he doesn't exactly want to go the classic rock route on his much-anticipated debut solo album.

Adam told AP his long-player will be a "rock-pop-electronic-dance thing," produced "in a very, very current, almost futuristic way."

Sounds interesting...

Perhaps a hint of Adam's album sound can be gleaned from his pre-Idol demos, which are still floating around the Interweb in all their wondrously neon-lit, '80s-ish, Eurotrashy glory. Check out some of his pre-fame party-starters here:

It remains to be seen if this is the kind of music Adam will make--or will be allowed to make. As always, Adam is going to keep people guessing.

2. Yahoo! Music User -
Either way i think Adam will be awesome.

...No...I don't care how good Lambert thinks he is, there is no way he is going to lead Queen. No way in hell.

As for his debut, let him go pop. Whatever, he really isn't a rocker. Not IMO, no...

I'll miss his banshee wail if he does that. But I think it's still good. :)

YUCKY!

6. Yahoo! Music User -
He will be big for only a bit. Then he'll fade away screaming.

7. DUDE -
Will Lyndsey Parker marry Adam Lambert and have his children?

8. Leila J -
Adam is an awesome singer, no matter what he sings, I'll buy his albums!!!!

9. darkhorsefan !15! -
He actaully looks handsome in some of the normal pictures! He'd be good looking if he wasn't so..gay?

10. Brit -
I love Adam but I don't think any of his demos show of his vocal range, or even make him sound good. They just make him sound average, nothing special. I hope he doesn't do that on his album.

11. Magdalena C -
I DON'T care if he wants to sing the alphabet, I WILL be buying all of his albums for sure! I LOVE him, he's the best!

ADAM, IS GREAT AND FOR HIM TO GET A CALL FROM QUEEEN HE SHOULD BE HONERED. NOW AS TO WHAT ROAD HE CHOSES, I AM SURE HE WILL STRIVE AND DO THE BEST THAT HE CAN. HE IS A GREAT PERFORM ON STAGE AND HAS GREAT ABILITY TO DRAW IN WHO IS WACHING AND LISTNING TO HIM. GOOD LUCK ADAM!

13. Melody B -

14. BillW -
Hey Lyndsey - did you actually LISTEN to those crappy YouTube videos you posted?!?? That crap SUCKS. And you people think this guy is a *ROCK* star? Are you kidding me? His 15 minutes are ticking......

15. MeY -
What a dumb ass. He has a chance to be with Queen, and he might not even take it?
Whatever, good luck to him anyway, his voice doesn't even compare to Freddie's.

16. Yahoo! Music User -
Those songs are awful. I hope to all heck is is not going to front Queen his shrill scream uummm yeah you call it singing is horrible

17. BillW -
And by the way, for those of you making such a big deal about Queen possibly tendering Adam an offer to be their front man, let me give you a dose of reality: Queen has been virtually irrelevant since Freddie passed. Of course these geezers would love to cash in on a fresh (not to mention conveniently gay) face with operatic chops to steal a few more minutes in the limelight. How else are they going to get any attention these days? Not as big a deal as you'd like to think it is....Sorry.

18. VictoriaB -
I can't wait! I'll buy whatever kind of album he makes, I love him!!!

19. Yahoo! Music User -
Freddie Mercury will always be number one with Queen fans, and if Adam joined them, he'd just be the runner-up again.

Adam doesn't need them, he will be more relevant and successful creating his own path.

And to make that happen we don't need to trash Kris (with all this mean-spirited petty stuff)... it makes us Adam fans look like jerks and sore losers.

HAVE YOU HEARD ABOUT THE VOTING SCANDAL? READ ON....AT&T allegedly provided demo phones and instructions on how to "power text" (send 10 texts at once) to Kris Allen fans who attended viewing parties in Arkansas on the last night of the competition. Check out the article at www.nytimes.com (search "idol voting"). ADAM REALLY MAY HAVE BEEN ROBBED!
