Adam Lambert's All-Time Favorite Tracks

'Idol' Star Talks About Meeting Madonna, Singing Johnny Cash and Loving Lady Gaga

STEVEN BAKER

Quote :: In case it was ever in doubt, rock crooner Adam Lambert professes to be a born performer.
Adam Lambert lets "Nightline" into his world.

Long before he electrified "American Idol" audiences with soaring renditions of Queen and Tears for Fears hits, Lambert was a child stage actor, appearing at age 10 as Linus in a San Diego Lyceum Theater production of "You're a Good Man, Charlie Brown."

"I just remember the first time being on stage in front of people, being nervous but getting such a thrill from the applause and the attention," said Lambert, 28. "And I think I was hooked from there on out."

Lambert recently sat down with "Nightline" at The Kimberly Hotel in New York City to discuss his recent work, his "Idol" success and some of his own musical idols, from Johnny Cash to Madonna.

Here, Lambert talks about some of the music that belongs in his personal dream jukebox, and why.
