Lambert: 'I don't take myself seriously'

Adam Lambert has told people to stop worrying about whether or not music is credible.

The American Idol runner-up explained that it's important that people enjoy themselves when they listen to songs.

"I want to put it out there that I don't take myself all that seriously," he told the Los Angeles Times. "The dress-up supports that; the fantasy element supports it. People want to talk about whether I have rock cred, whether I'm selling out, the theatricality, the gay stuff... Chill out! And just enjoy yourself. It's not that deep."

Lambert said that he does have some "deep" songs on his upcoming album, but added: "Sometimes it's just, 'This is hot, I feel good, this song makes me want to go get a drink and flirt with somebody and have a good time'.

"Good energy is just as credible as the dark, heavy stuff. It's just as important!"
