The aspiring singer and performer moved to
Los Angeles, California, where he cobbled
together a living from odd jobs while trying to
make it in the theatre. He also tried his hand
at music, performing in a rock band and doing
studio session work.
By 2004, Lambert was making a name for
himself in the Los Angeles area. He played a
small role in The Ten Commandments at the
Kodak Theatre, alongside film actor Val Kilmer.
He also began regular performances in The
Zodiac Show, a touring revue of live music and
talent that was co-created by Carmit Bachar of
the band Pussycat Dolls. During his time with
Zodiac, Lambert wowed fellow performers with
his vocal range. He also began writing his own
music with the revue; one particular original
song, “Crawl Through Fire,” was written in collaboration
with Madonna’s guitarist, Monte Pittman.
In 2005, Lambert landed an understudy
spot as Fiyero in the play Wicked, first with the
touring cast and then with the Los Angeles cast
of the production.
Lambert stepped into the national spotlight in
2009, when he became a finalist on the eighth
season of the popular vocal competition show
American Idol. His performance of Gary Jules’s
2001 arrangement of “Mad World” earned a
standing ovation from the show’s harshest
critic, Simon Cowell. Lambert’s vocal range,
along with his jet-black hair and heavy mascara,
earned him comparisons to glam rockers
like Freddie Mercury and Gene Simmons.
nated for his first Grammy Award, for his hit
“Whataya Want From Me.”
In May 2012, Lambert released his second
studio album, Trespassing, which met with
wide acclaim; Trespassing landed at the
No. 1 spot on the Billboard 200, and more
than 100,000 copies of the alnum were sold
by June 2012. In a Billboard review of the
album, Lambert is noted for demonstrating
“the raw energy that would make him a great
frontman.”
Adam is nominated this year at The GLAAD
Media Awards and it will be held on April 2,
2016 in Los Angeles and May 14th, 2016 in
New York. Tickets can be purchased here:

Lambert and two other contestants, Danny
Gokey and Kris Allen, were the only finalists of
Season 8 who were never ranked in the bottom
three. Lambert was considered a front-runner
in the competition, but was later beaten by dark
horse candidate Kris Allen. Critics theorized
that Lambert lost because of his openly gay
lifestyle. Lambert denies this rumor, however,
saying that Allen won because of his talent.
Despite his American Idol loss, Lambert’s
debut album, For Your Entertainment (2009),
was a huge success, debuting at No. 3 on the
Billboard 200 chart. In 2010, Lambert was nomi-
