Adam Lambert unveiled a new cover for the first official single off his upcoming album For Your Entertainment. The cover is just as dramatic as his album cover, but far less campy. Lambert appears to be channeling Rihanna in this pic.
Lambert also debuted his single ‘For Your Entertainment’ on KIISfm’s morning show with Ryan Seacrest today. The song is not at all what we were expecting from the Idol runner-up. The track is completely pop, so much so that it could have been a Britney reject. But we have no shame…we’re loving it after a few listens.

Adam Lambert Responds To Album Cover Critics

Adam Lambert has been getting a lot of criticism for his upcoming For Your Entertainment album cover.
Lambert took to his official Twitter account to respond:
“Thank you to those who appreciate and understand that the album cover is deliberately campy. It’s an omage to the past. It IS ridiculous.”
“For those that don’t get it: oh well… Glad to have gotten your attention.”
You definitely got everyone’s attention, but why stay stuck in the past? We want something fresh and new, something that reinvents the past.
I’m starting to wonder if Lambert thinks he’s the second coming of Lady Gaga…

New Details On Lady Gaga’s Upcoming Tour ‘The Monster Ball’
October 23, 2009 by imusicdaily

Lady Gaga revealed new details on her upcoming tour entitled The Monster Ball to Rolling Stone. She also discussed the re-release of her debut album The Fame Monster.
Can you talk about the songs on The Fame Monster?
This is a new album. It’s eight songs, I could have put more songs on it, but I just decided not to because I thought they fit beautifully together. I’m really excited about all my new work, and I’ve been going through some really wonderful times and some really rough times all at once, so it’s been really good for my artistry. On the re-release, I wrote this song called “Speechless,”which I think is the best song I’ve ever written. It’s about my dad, it’s a really beautiful ballad. It’s piano-driven, and there’s no beat on it, it’s all live instruments. I produced it with Ron Fair, so we did a full live orchestra, recorded everything with live drums, live guitar and bass with me playing piano. We got that really organic, delicious feeling.
What was the thinking behind The Monster Ball?
I wanted to really put together a show that would be the most beautiful, expensive-looking, delicious show, but that my fans wouldn’t have to pay a ton of money to come see. So we’re playing a few nights in a row. I’ve got super loyal fans, so I feel this tremendous obligation to take care of them.
You said it was a pop-electro opera.
Yeah. It’s the first ever, so it’s really whatever I want it to be. The theatrics and story elements are in the style of an opera. Imagine if you could take the sets of an opera, which are very grand and very beautiful, and put them through a pop-electro lens. The design of the show is very, very forward, very, very innovative. I’ve been thinking about ways to play with the shape of this stage and change the way that we watch things. So what I’ve done is I’ve designed a stage with Haus of Gaga that is essentially a frame with forced perspective, and the frame is put inside the stage. It’s got kind of a triangular inset, like a diamond, and everywhere we’re playing, the dimensions fit this box that I’m bringing, so it’s this giant box that fits into every show. So no matter where I go, my fans get the same experience. So often you go into theaters and there’s ambient light flying in from all sorts of places, and the audience is in different spots, and the stage is in different shapes and lengths and widths and depths, so this is a way for me to control all the light and all of the different elements of the show. The theme of the show is evolution.
Were there elements of the Fame Kills Tour with Kanye West that were going to be in The Monster Ball?
I’m certainly inspired by what we were doing, but I made a decision based on integrity not to use any of the things that we had designed together.
New Details On Rihanna’s Upcoming Album ‘Rated R’
October 23, 2009 by imusicdaily
Filed under Album, Celebrity, Music
Rihanna’s new album Rated R is due out November 23rd and new details have emerged from one of Rihanna’s producers, Chuck Harmony, on what fans can expected to hear.
On “Russian Roulette”:
“I sat through mix sessions and I heard some of the songs on the record. It fits in. ‘Russian Roulette’ is definitely taking her to another level. I think she’s a pop icon, so her music should reflect that.”
On remaining true to her fanbase:
“I think Rihanna has captured what her old fans are used to, as well as the growth of an artist. ‘Russian Roulette,’ to me, is a shining example of her growth and her artistic expression,”
On the album as a whole:
“I was actually shocked I got the first single ’cause the album is so great. The way it’s unfolding is so genius. Like, ‘The wait is ova’ [message on her site]. I was waiting too. I wanted to see the cover, I wanted to hear the song. It’s one of those records where you just don’t know. It’s not a faith record. It’s one of those thought-provoking records.”
I can’t wait to hear Rihanna’s new album! ‘Russian Roulette’ has set the tone for Rihanna’s new musical direction. It’s like a teaser of what’s to come, to let people know that she’s risen above the drama in her past and serious about her music and her life.
Are you excited for Rihanna’s new album?
New Video: Adam Lambert ‘Time For Miracles’

Adam Lambert’s highly anticipated music video for ‘Time For Miracles’ from the upcoming film 2012 has been released exclusively on Myspace today.
Everytime I hear this song, I can’t help but be reminded of Aerosmith’s ‘Don’t Want To Miss A Thing’ from the soundtrack to Armageddon, a rock ballad set to the end of the Earth. It appears as though they were trying to recreate that same effect with ‘Time For Miracles’. I don’t think this song is as strong as ‘Don’t Want To Miss A Thing’, but it gets the job done and is a good debut for Lambert.
Check out the video –
