Adam Lambert Talks “2012”, Post-Idol Fame

Doing his best to make a big splash in the music industry, Adam Lambert is excited that he had the honor to record the soundtrack for the new movie “2012”.

The singer’s “Time for Miracles” features on the movie, which went into theaters Wednesday.

“It’s been pretty wild because I didn’t think I would get as far as Idol at all,” Lambert said of his success appearing on American Idol. “Every week that I got through, I was like, really, they voted for me again? So each time I thanked my lucky stars and just did what I do.”

Lambert is also incredibly thankful for his fans.“I just didn’t expect all the support that I’ve been getting and it’s been really amazing, very flattering and very exciting because I’ve been working towards this type of career the 10 years that I’ve lived in Los Angeles. I’ve been working toward this so I feel like it’s all added up into this moment.

Although he was a runner up on the show, that didn’t stop him. “As soon as Idol ended, I was busy that month, already working on my album, with different producers, doing writing sessions and then the opportunity came up for the 2012 song. Alain and Natasha’s demo for it was this beautiful melody, just a beautiful acoustic kind of rock feel and then with (producer) Rob Cavallo, we made it like an epic kind of rock power ballad that I’m very proud of.”

Lambert is known for his look and says it’s just him being himself.

“Even on Idol, I wear my eyeliner and my black clothes, my little rocker outfits,” said the stylish star. “That’s just how I’ve always dressed over the past couple of years. You can label it however you want — androgynous, glam, emo, Goth. We can put a bunch of different labels on it but I’m just being myself.”

Joking he added, “I like to pretty it up like all the good rock stars do. Mick Jagger and David Bowie did it and I’m like trying to do it now.”

Adam’s new album, For Your Entertainment, will be in stores later this month.
