Adam Lambert Sits Down With Oprah

Adam Lambert dropped by "The Oprah Winfrey Show" on Tuesday (Jan. 19) to talk about what's changed since January of last year, when he was just a musical theater kid with crazy vocal range and "American Idol" dreams.

"I think my biggest concern going into it was, 'I'm a little left of center for this whole 'American Idol' thing,' " said Lambert -- or the "wild child," as Winfrey called him. "I'm so glad they took a chance on me."

The glam pop singer also stood his ground on his "frisky, risqué" performance at the American Music Awards ("There's no regrets for me," he told the talk show host) and said that while he's proud to be openly gay, he'd like to be known as a singer first.

[info]foodzilla 20th-Jan-2010 07:49 pm (UTC)

want more gaga/oprah interviews
[info]hearty_chili 20th-Jan-2010 07:49 pm (UTC)
will never look at this guy without thinking of indelible related ontd comment "i take that back, he has style, it's just the wrong one"
[info]lemonsherry 20th-Jan-2010 07:49 pm (UTC)
while he's proud to be openly gay, he'd like to be known as a singer first.

and you achieve this by suffocating people with your scrotum and making out with a random dude on your first large scale nationally broadcasted performance. i see.
[info]foodzilla 20th-Jan-2010 07:51 pm (UTC)
thank you for that mental picture
[info]faithgirl16 20th-Jan-2010 07:58 pm (UTC)
ITA! lol
[info]godrixon 20th-Jan-2010 07:59 pm (UTC)
i see where he's coming from. if the only way gay men are going to be treated equally is if they act a certain way, then it's not equality or freedom, is it.
[info]velvetunicorn 20th-Jan-2010 08:01 pm (UTC)
word. being asexual is not equality.

ia ia.
[info]lemonsherry 20th-Jan-2010 08:02 pm (UTC)
if you want to be known as a singer first, straight or gay, you do not base your first large scale performance on being overtly sexual, all while screeching and bellowing harsh notes all over the place.

maybe if he had spent more time working on the voice aspect of the performance-- instead of how he was going to simulate fingering someone on stage--i'd be able to think of him foremost as a singer.

mte. what a hypocritical fuck
[info]bergdorf_brune 20th-Jan-2010 08:02 pm (UTC)
k why would it have to do with his orientation more than his performance?
[info]hockeychick57 20th-Jan-2010 08:06 pm (UTC)
i still think there was such an overreaction to that performance. although i guess it could be shocking for people not familiar with his pre-idol performances.

[info]taxcha 20th-Jan-2010 10:31 pm (UTC)

Ease up on that damn cover up.

His music is not my thing, but he seems genuine.
[info]ben_superdetka 20th-Jan-2010 08:05 pm (UTC)
genuine? really?
[info]oohasparklie 20th-Jan-2010 08:58 pm (UTC)
Did you actually watch the interview? Because yeah, genuine.
[info]peacetrains 20th-Jan-2010 07:57 pm (UTC)
i want to hate him, but he is really charming and eloquent in interviews and every time i hear him sit down and talk i like him a little bit more.

btw, my mother is apparently a Lady Gaga and Adam Lambert stan. i'm surprised she's not a member of ONTD.
[info]godrixon 20th-Jan-2010 08:45 pm (UTC)
mte. although i don't want to hate him? my father called him delightful. my father, wtf.

lol your mom. my mother thinks gaga is vile.
[info]allykat910 20th-Jan-2010 07:57 pm (UTC)
i love him, he is such a sweetie
