Lambert: 'Grammy may help my credibility'

Adam Lambert has said that he feels his recent Grammy nomination gives him more credibility as a solo recording artist.

The American Idol runner-up earlier this week discovered that he had been nominated for 'Best Male Pop Vocal Performance' for his single 'Whataya Want From Me'.

"I was so excited!" Lambert told The Hollywood Reporter. "I knew the song would be a key track on my album.

"I hope that at this point, after all the hard work I've done over the past year, the nomination will give me credibility as a true vocalist in the industry. And perhaps help fade some of the stigma that comes from rising to fame on a competition show."

The 53rd Grammy Awards are scheduled to take place February 13, 2011.
