FROM PRESSURE TO PRIVILEGE: ADAM LAMBERT ON BEING A ROLE MODEL
Quote :
Although he came in second behind Kris Allen on season 8 of “American Idol,” Adam Lambert has turned his “Idol” exposure into a pretty solid career. His first post-”Idol” album generated a couple of hit singles, and he’s got new music on the way soon. He’s also found success on the road, selling out venues all over the world. But what Lambert’s found is that with all of this success comes increased responsibility, because his status as an openly gay pop star has made him a role model for gay teens.
At first, Lambert admits, he found it to be a little intimidating, but he tells us he’s grown to feel comfortable — even privileged — being called a role model.
From northern Ethiopia: thank you, Adam Lambert and fans

In January 2011, Adam Lambert gave up his 29th birthday and asked for donations instead of gifts -- he shattered mycharity: water records and with his dedicated fans, raised more than $290,000, all for clean water projects.
Thank you, Adam Lambert and your incredible community of support.
Something I never even thought of but very interesting.

Despite the common usage of CD/DVD in the press (force of habit), we registered the release as a DVD. So it will show up on the Soundscan/Billboard DVD charts, and will obviously debut a lot higher than a CD would have, then hopefully achieve RIAA certification much quicker as well. All sales through the AO store will also be reported in Soundscan, and contribute to the overall total reflected in the DVD charts.

Adam Lambert made his American Idol return last week with several purposes: to promote his latest anthem, Aftermath, recently released as a dance remix; to help the Trevor Project, which provides a life-line to LGBTQ kids, and to remind the Idol viewers -- and no doubt the Season 10 finalists -- what it takes to make it on that stage and in the pop world.
The Hollywood Reporter caught up with Lambert after his performance for a quick chat about the song's message, Lady Gaga's crusade, being back at Idol and his new album, Glam Nation Live, out Tuesday. Fans can purchase the Aftermath remix on Lambert's official site.
