Adam Lambert answers questions from fans.
[hand-transcribed]
Q: How did you feel the first time in front of the judges?
The remember the first time I performed Black & White number by Michael Jackson, it was kind of similar how I felt the other night at the AMAs - so much adrenalin that I almost got the best of me and I kind of oversang it.
A woman flew all the way in from Japan wanted to know when he’s coming to Japan.
I would love to come to Japan – hopefully next year. Love to.
Vocal training?
I grew up doing a lot of musical theater. I started taking voice lessons when I was about 12-13 until 20-21. And then I just stopped and I started trying to figure out how to find my own voice. It’s like a combination.
Did you know at 12 and 13 that this is what you loved?
Yeah, I did. And then as I got older throughout my teenage years, I decided, ‘oh, I can make a career out of this’.
Did you have those pipes at 13?
Some pipe. I had a half pipe.
How did you put together your band – pick them personally.
He met everyone through the audition process except for his guitar player Monty. (They had a band ‘The Citizen Vein”.)
They’re great. They’re really great at what they do.
When are you going on tour?
Hopefully next year – maybe as early as Spring. There’s no definite plans yet – but it’s something I definitely want to do.
