Adam Lambert’s fans create online ‘Thank You’ tribute
Following a Grammy nomination and an incredibly successful Glam Nation tour, Adam Lambert’s fans want to say ‘thank you.’ Fans have set up a website where fans can leave kind words, video messages, and pictures among other things. The website was created with the intention of allowing all those who witnessed the spectacle that was Lambert’s Glam Nation tour to thank Lambert for the spectacular performance.
The Examiner reports that even before the international leg of the tour was announced, fans from all over the world were making videos, pleading with Adam to play a show in their country. This seems like a natural step to further focus Lambert’s rabid fan base.

Adam Lambert Fan Club- Exclusive info from Adam
Exclusive info from Adam:
"While I was in Amsterdam for the GN tour, I filmed a segment for the tv show THE VOICE OF HOLLAND. A few contestants came to my soundcheck and we chatted about music, what life is like after a show and touring.
They even sang 'Whataya Want From Me' to me! It was a fun piece so be sure to check it out! It is on this Wednesday Dec 8th. Those not in Holland, I believe it will be posted online or on youtube!"

Interview in Paris: Adam Lambert, a showman first and foremost
Lambert puts the glam-rock and size before a celebrity at the height of his voice. The 28 year old singer has just finished her first world tour, passed by the Trabendo in Paris on November 18. Amidst a few days visiting the capital, he answered our questions. Smiling, passionate, inspired, Adam is a character whole. Maintenance.
Adam, you're back in France after a marathon tour. You holding up?
I try! It was more than 112 dates on this tour! It was great! I did not know at all how I was going out and especially if I end up in one piece (laughs)! But everything went well. I have not had to cancel one show, I have not lost my voice. I finally got to meet my fans around the world. What's funny is that before introducing me to American Idol, I thought coming to settle in Europe and seek careers here because I thought I might be more easily accepted ... But eventually things turned in my favor in the U.S. ...
You have seen differences in your public meeting in Europe?
One thing that struck me is that the fans are younger in general. I also saw more gay ... I enjoyed myself so much in all cases and spent unforgettable moments. At Trabendo was great, we are really took a lot of fun. The room was small and intimate so I could watch almost all the fans in the eye. We did everything on this tour, from large to very small rooms and a challenge to run the show in these extremes. I learned a lot.
When you look at the Adam a year ago and today, you see the same person?
Yes, completely. There is always the same but much more tired! I never had to take a pace of work and life like. Obviously with the theater, musicals, was eight shows a week but I had three-hour show and it was done. Now it's nonstop, 24-24hrs. But I'm not complaining, I know it's worth it. I live my dream. I can finally share my music and my ideas with people. And then a more materialistic side, I can buy a house now! Before I had no money at all ... This is not the most important to me: music, being an artist and express themselves, that is most important. But I also appreciate having a little security.
On your album, you left all your talk about feelings. When it can be a rockstar as a pop star, is it difficult to accept?
That's what's strange ... Everyone keeps asking me to explain my style, to explain the style of the album ... And that is exactly I do not need to define it. That is all at once! And for me it fits perfectly at the time, music should be like that with a little bit of everything. That people will listen to me can find something they like, in a style that suits me and suits them.
Prestigious artists gave you the songs, like Pink, Muse and Lady GaGa. Have you experienced this as a recognition? Ditto for the comparison with Freddie Mercury ...
It meant a lot to me, really. And then it was also shown to those who make this music industry that I could be taken seriously. I look at Freddy is a great compliment! An honor well, as I was influenced by him. It was probably also a bit more pressure ... I really felt people's expectations ...
United States, your private life became fodder for the media ... How do you live this intrusion?
It's part of the job must be done with ... And if there's something that I retained from this whirlwind began, is that I need to keep certain parts of my private life very private, otherwise it remains for me nothing to which I cling. Although in absolute terms I've always been like an open book and that most people already know the principal!
You do not want to be a reference to the openly gay star ...
Yes, but I am finally already become the "Openly gay singer" as they say ... I did not choose, it's done alone. I just wanted to sing, not necessarily represent an entire community. But at the same time, I'm very comfortable with all that, I never feel obligated to apologize or justify myself. I did not do it. And it's great that young people are inspired by my background and it gives them courage, seeing that I do not hang your head and I'm not hiding. So yes I hope it helps, but it's not really my main goal. My goal for me is to entertain people, to be a showman.
You love the provocative and sometimes push the limits of what people are used to seeing ...
Totally! And you know why? Because I think it's hilarious! And each time there are people to take it so seriously, damn ... It's a bit kitsch but it's the pop! We are here to have a good time and be subversive is also part of entertainment. I do not know what happened in this business but I say we lost something in some way and should just relax a bit ... All I do is always with a smile and a wink and mostly the fans understand me then ...
There's Adam Lambert provocative and sexy Fever or For your Entertainment, but there is also the most fragile Soaked, Sleepwalker or face Aftermath ... What is good?
The two (laughs)! It's all me. I think that right now the artists come and go as fast because every time you listen to their debut album, you can almost hear the same thing ... I do not want to end up like that, I do not want to be the story of a single tube. And this is one of the things I'm proud with my album, it shows that many aspects of my personality: hyper sensitive side, the sexual side, the side a little clown and also the rebel ... I am a human being, I feel a lot of things so far to get them out.
You keep a very intense contact with your fans, especially on Twitter. Do you need their feedback, this link?
I get quite a return on what I do is true and I like that. But mostly I try to read what they have to tell me in general. I think Twitter has become a way to communicate directly with my fans. It is a way to tell them "Ok here it comes from me and not a press release." It's more authentic. There was a time when I was still a little disturbed by that, it's true ... But I think I found the way to go about it and also when I have the right slip away. Sometimes it's hard, you're finally a rest day, you walk in the streets and suddenly someone recognizes you. In general, I love it because it makes me happy that they tell me they love what I do. Now it can also turn taking pictures, signing tons of stuff and then you realize that in fact some just want to change their Facebook profile picture above my head (laughs). It has nothing to do with my music. For me it's still super weird. But that does not put me angry at all and 9 out of 10 people I meet are fantastic.
I have an anecdote for you. Do you know that some in Europe have long known you for a reason that has nothing to do with music? During American Idol, we asked you who was your inspiration for your haircut at the time ...
Oh my god (he explodes with laughter)! Bill Kaulitz! Of course I remember!
You doubted you reactions it would generate?
It's funny, frankly. The guy has a great style, it is very pretty. That's all, and some Tokio Hotel fans were so angry against me. Unbelievable. And then it turned into a war between my fans and theirs, with "Adam copy Bill! No, it was Bill that copies Adam!". But no copy! It just tastes like: we love both black, a little rock style, fashion ... There are tons of people who dress like us, only they are not all famous musicians and ... And then prefers girls right? Honestly, I am among those who think that we must respect the way people identify themselves. If he says he likes girls, so it's like this. I just find that someone seems to be super interesting is all ... After this story has taken incredible proportions. It is still not the only two types to put mascara ... And somewhere, is to forget our past, because in the 70s and 80s there were many followers of glam rock, androgyny ... Now the men take more risks ... Bill and me, what was the most in common is the eyeliner ... Our voices are completely different, our music is completely different and we do not like.
You're already preparing your second album and you'll also go out in the coming days a few mini CD audio tracks ...
Yes, I have some ideas for the next album, but I have not really started working. I first want to take a break and recharge the batteries. But I love that people feel are in demand of my next projects is very motivating. I still think at times we need to know to pull back a little light. Your back becomes even stronger in every way. But I will not go too long, do not worry! I just really want to spend more time on this album than the first we had to make just three months. Finally, we did very well out but this time I need to sit down a little. And then for the next album, the release date will be the same for all countries, this time! So get ready to see me return to Europe soon!
