That Adam Lambert, he's no shrinking violet
Published Saturday, Oct 31 2009, 19:46 GMT | By Nick Levine | 22 comments
While we're having an Adam Lambert moment, here's a nice BIG! version of his 'For Your Entertainment' single cover.
And for good measure, here's his For Your Entertainment album cover.
We're enjoying seeing a male popstar make such an effort with the visual side of things - why should GaGa have a monopoly on super-stylised cover art, eh? - but we're guessing Adam's style might be a touch garish for some. What do you think? Just use the space below to leave your comments.

Exactly my thoughts Carrie. Just buy the album eve, if there is nothing you like about it then maybe then you won't be a fan. Adam I think yeah may compromise a little but to say the songs in thye album are not him..cannot.

Adam is gorgeous! No matter what he is styling, he's always going to be rockin it! Those eyes, what a model! Multitalented.

I love the cover art! LOL - the cover art depicts why he's been called a glittery alien from planet fierce.

Eve - you are so off the mark. If you'd heard all of Adam's interviews over the months and really listened to what he's saying, this song is totally him. This is HIS choice, HIS will, he isn't allowing anyone to push him anywhere he doesn't want to go. As the lyrics tell us, he is in control. But this is just ONE aspect of Adam. His album will have many different styles and each one will be Adam, because he can't be put in a box. He loves different styles of music and wants to explore all of them. FYE is just one style. It's ok that you don't like it, but please don't try to tell Adam that he doesn't like it.

I love everything ADAM! He dares to be different simply by being himself, genuine and authentic, pure and unaldulterated 'glittery alien from planet fierce'! I'm a fan forever and proud to be.

I loved both covers the minute I saw them; of course, I love everything Adam does, so might be a little biased that way! But his style as well as his voice is what drew me to him to begin with. As to the difference between FYE and TFM that is also what draws me to Adam--his versatility.

i dont like it, its very girly. im not homophobic buy i dont think sr8 guys wil take 1 look, and think..'what the hell is this'. I think it is a very brave approach to marketing himself after american idol.

Adam's single cover and album cover are gorgeous, just like the man himself. And I love both of his songs - 'Time For Miracles' and 'For Your Entertainment'. His debut album is going to be truly amazing! Can't wait!

amazing adam, love both his new songs which are of different style. i highly appreciate the effort adam put in as an artist, admire his courage to try new things and show different aspects of his talent, this is risky for a new kid in the show business. we should support him !

After all the enormous build up, after all the hype about Lambert's music being so iconoclastic so revolutionary what we get is this crap "For Your Entertainment". Well I am not entertained I am instead very let down to say the least. It's Britney Spears electro pop crap. Which is everything that is wrong with today's music. Music that sounds like it was produced in a music factor, formula sound. Oh yes perhaps the lyrics are more edgy but the tome of Adams voice the sound that is produced is as is his voice were in a straight jacket and he had received a lobotomy and he was mouthing words he did not feel. Come on Adam have you no will of your own can you not hear what they made you sing. Get high one night and listen to your own song and tell me honestly if it is not the biggest piece of bullshit you have every heard. I am speaking from my heart because I know there is an artist in there who is screaming to get out. Stop now stop and get off the commercial train your riding to oblivion. I am begging you. Eve

I love the covers and I'm glad he didn't use a boring cover like most of the AI people do!

I think having a guy give us some fun dance music and sexy, eyebrow-raising visuals is long overdue! I love the single and think the album cover and single cover are awesome!!

Adam stays true to himself.. unpretentious, he truly is. This is the kind of thing that separates a " superstar" from the "wanna-be's"

It's so refreshing to see a male popstar with the balls to dress and act the way he wants. I've not heard his music but I think he could be an inspiration to boys who are scared of being themselves. Bout time we had a male singer like that!

I am very much an insanely loyal fan. I love FYE, I love TFM, I love everything that Adam does and I plan to continue to love everything that he will ever do.

Wasn't sure about this cover at first but the more I looked at it the more I realised how totally Adam it is - love it now! He does everything with such a sense of humour, you've got to love him. NOTE TO NICK - pretty please can you include FYE in the upcoming album reviews for the week of 23rd November????
