Early this month, the “American Idol” alum gave everyone a glimpse of some of the challenges he had to go through as a person with the launching of his raw and self-produced music video for his single “Welcome to the Show.”
The video also features Swedish singer-songwriter Laleh and focuses on close shots of the “Ghost Town” singer’s face and chest, with some he was seen wearing a shirt.
Lambert talked about his inspiration behind the song in an open letter that accompanied the video. He also explained why he wanted to produce the track himself.
The “For Your Entertainment” singer said that he also came to a point in his life when he felt terrified of facing his true, whole self that is stripped of any pretense. He added that he is no stranger to the feeling of not liking himself after factoring in the good, the bad, the cracks, and the scars in his life.
He also said that he once struggled with his body image and also had to deal with the problems of being trapped by labels or identities.
Lambert cited that living in a world filled with so much hatred makes cultivating self-love a very difficult task. He admitted that he always struggled with it as much as many people have.
I consider myself a independent voter. The pro choice issue has always been a main concern for me. I am 100 % for a woman’s choice. I am a woman, and I have been in that situation. And, I always wanted a woman for president. Hillery was such a disappointment. So, I put my views about pro choice aside and realize this issue may not be as important as the state of our country’s safety. I can understand how important gay rights are to Adam, and many other liberals. What bothers me, is the influence Adam has with his fans.
Many would follow him to the ends of the earth. I wish all celebrities would keep their political opinions to themselves. I know this is not their fault, but so many people are unable to think for themselves, and simply vote for whoever they’re idol votes for. By the way, I am also a die-hard Adam Lambert fan , and a Queen fan. The best talent and collaboration I have heard . I have been to several of Adams concerts, and several with Queen. Not only gifted musically, but nice people ! Wish I could travel to Israel to see this amazing concert !
