I actually already know who the winner is, so this envelope doesn't mean shit. But - I wanna just take a second to say that this person is one of the most empathetic people I have ever met in my life.

Idol put me on the map. I was in a place in my career where I had been performing around L.A., New York, and various other countries and cities. I was looking for something to shift, but I couldn’t figure out how to do it. And then, when I saw there was an audition coming up, having watched the show since the beginning, I was like, you know what? I’m 27. I might as well go for it, because I will kick myself later if I don’t try out, since I’ve been a fan this long. I didn’t expect it to actually take me as far as it did at all. I thought, Oh god, there’s no way I’m going to make the top 13. There’s no way I’m going to. And every time I got voted in, I was shocked, and more and more, I started to really enjoy it. “I remember them telling me after my second audition that in order to progress, you couldn’t have any professional contracts of any kind signed, and I was in a musical here in L.A. called Wicked. That was my salary. That’s how I lived. And they said, ‘You can’t do that anymore.’ What a risk that was to have to say goodbye to my job, a job that was hard to get, by the way, and take a chance. I’m so glad I took it. Because if I hadn’t, if I’d done the safe thing, where would I be? Probably still in the chorus.
Adam Lambert reveals what American Idol meant to him [x]
I loved it; I had a great time. I got to show who I was to America, like what I was capable of as a musician and as an artist and introduce myself to the public which is in today's age, it's hard to get that kind of exposure," Lambert, 34, recently told Entertainment Weekly. "On my season we had up to 30 million people watching every week. It was a huge viewership. I was really lucky. I was getting in front of all of those people getting to do what I did.

I went onto American Idol thinking... maybe I'll make the top 10 or 12 or whatever it is. And maybe then I'll be able to go get another gig.. somewhere. I never expected it to go the way it did, and... and to kind of - to be this like, treasure box for me of opportunities, and experiences. And uh... I would've never dreamed it! So it's definitely a testament of you know, having a dream and having a desire, and kind of driving toward it. And not slowing down, not taking no for an answer.

“I wanted to surprise my fans with a new, uplifting anthem for the spring,” Lambert says in a release. “I asked Max Martin for help and he paired me up with two great writers and producers; Ali Payami, who worked with me on ‘Ghost Town,’ and Swedish star Laleh who is also a featured vocalist on the track. I feel this song will give people strength to be exactly who they are.”

To be successful in this industry you have to have a side of you that’s a business person and a side of you that’s an artist. And on a business level, I was being objective – ok, I can see how this [the proposed covers album] would be a good business proposition. but I was waiting to see if my ‘artist’ would respond to it. I was listening to the music and it just didn’t resonate – it didn’t feel like what i should be doing – I just had to trust my gut on that. and it was a little scary saying so, because i was like, ‘I guess that means I gotta go’.
Adam opens up about the proposed covers album that led to him leaving his record label and signing with Warners [x]
I wanted the album to be a real snapshot of my life, my real life, my authentic life in L.A. over the past 15 years," Adam Lambert tells Out in the August cover story. "I wanted it to sound like music I listen to when I go out or when I’m at the fucking gym or in Runyon Canyon or in my car. It’s a bit of a melancholy album, you know? It’s talking about the ups and downs of life in Hollywood.
