Lambert recalls 'surreal' Madonna meeting

Adam Lambert has recounted his intimidation at visiting Madonna's home in New York.

Speaking to People, the American Idol runner-up revealed that he was met at the superstar's door by her 3-year-old son David Banda.

"I was at her house in New York. It was intimidating. Her son David answered the door. I thought, 'This is so surreal'," he is quoted as saying.

"When we talked about singing together, she said, 'I'm really bossy in the studio. I'll p*ss you off'. I said, 'If you p*ss me off, we'd probably make good art'. We bantered, she was cool."

He added: "[She] told me, 'Keep your eye on the prize'."

Lambert's debut album For Your Entertainment is available now.
