Adam Lambert Says Glam Album Cover is ‘Deliberately Campy’
American Idol rocker Adam Lambert took to his Twitter account Wednesday to defend the cover of his new album, For Your Entertainment. The Adam Lambert album cover has been criticized by some as being over-the-top, cheesy and compared to bad “fan art”.
Adam Lambert, however, think some people just don’t get the joke. Lambert’s whole identity as a musician is based on being over-the-top and outrageously glam. The openly gay rocker enjoys flaunting his androgyny, wild hair and glam clothes. Adam Lambert doesn’t just have an amazing set of pipes, the boy’s also got style falling out of his ass like a shower of diamonds. And he’s not afraid to show it!
“Thank you to those who appreciate and understand that the album cover is deliberately campy,” Lambert posted on his Twitter feed. The American Idol runner-up, who is himself a living homage to ’70s and ’80s glam rock, said the cover is “an homage to the past. It IS ridiculous. For those that don’t get it: oh well. Glad to have gotten your attention.”
Indeed, he has. And we get it Adam and we think it’s fabulous. Good for you for not playing it safe one damn bit. Hell, we want to frame the damn thing!
i thought that adam lambert should have won the american idol singing contest..~*
You crack me up! “style falling out his ass like a shower of diamonds.” You wrote about Glambert’s camp with equally campy prose!
Man, poor Adam. I love the cover too. Yes, it is cheesy, it’s a little over the top, but it’s fun, it’s light, it’s… ENTERTAINING.
Great article. Adam is always true to himself. I love everything he does. Can’t wait for the album.
Well Adam is definately equal opportunity. Details photos were for us (women) this cover is for his community. I don’t care. I love him still (if not more).
