ADAM LAMBERT: MY MOTHER OUTED ME

[@bonnieparsons557]

There will never be another like Adam Lambert. I first saw him on American Idol and just knew he was going to be somebody. I am 84 and I love his frankness and ability to talk about who he is. Just love his music. He is a star!!🤩🫶🏻

[@DuckBertLurkin1]

FANTASTIC interview...TYSM! I don't think people realize just how BRAVE it was for him to step into the role of frontman for QUEEN...good god...that takes BALLS...and some pretty damn big shoes of his own! Adam Lambert is truly an ICON in his own right! ❤

[@marshamoore5700]

The best Adam interview! How he suffered for self expression, self identity and his art, yet he still has a sense of humor intact is remarkable! Adam is so brave and open. I admire him so much!

[@GreatCompanyPodcast]

oh thank you so much!

[@AF-gw4bt]

This is a mental health crisis KZbin. Adam has lost too much weight, Oliver is off the deep end and Adam's latest music is not authentic. Adam is too awesome not to care about. The latest 9 months of his behavior is concerning.

[@paulastapleton9072]

​@@AF-gw4btIf you have ever watched Adam on an Instagram livestream you will know that the music he is making at the moment is the kind of music he has always listened to. You need to trust Adam, Oliver and the friends and family around them. They both seem happy and healthy, just expressing themselves more boldly. They have a good support group around them, don't overthink it.

My husband got to see Queen twice while Freddie was alive, and when I wanted to go see them in 2019, he was not convinced. I insisted, and he was absolutely blown away. He said it was the best concert he'd ever been to. When we had the chance again in 2023 to drive 12 hours to Atlanta, he was like, YES please. I adore Adam since Idol in all his forms. I love him with Queen soooo much, and my very favorite thing is the absolute JOY that comes through from Brian and Roger getting to perform for sold out, mesmerized audiences. The show is fantastic and being surrounded by Adam's impeccable voice is truly magical. He is a gift.

[@victoriavelvet3689]

I love how articulate, honest and friendly Adam is.

[@imagiraffe2848]

Growing up in rural Eastern Europe as a gay woman was REALLY tough but luckly i discovered Adam in 2010, when i was a teenager. He has no idea i exist but he somehow pulled me out of the darkest times of my life because i was so damn lonely. Thank you for always being yourself and thank you for telling me that it's ok to be myself. I heard it from you first❤

[@marlenemalin9808]

I literally didn't want it to end. Great interview. He is such an open book and one in a billion vocalist. Just ask Brian and Roger

[@dixies1461]

OK. I am a 78 year old woman, married over 40 years, retired computer engineer. Loved Adam since Idol. Still do. That was the most intelligent interview. Fascinating. Just purely fascinating. Thank you both. And yes, I noticed you are wearing a Louis baseball cap - I have about 40 baseball caps but none like that. ❤

[@PaulaAsh]

Loved reading your comments! I'm 74, happily married to another woman and have been in love with Adam Lambert since his American Idol audition. Saw him live with Queen in San Francisco last year--a dream come true. What a great talent in a wonderful individual.

[@susie8557]

So interesting! An interviewer who actually listens and really wants to hear the answers. An interviewee who answers honestly and openly. Wonderful.

[@upendasana7857]

Who doesn't love Adam Lambert !! he such a totaly beautiful human being that radiates positivity.Feels like he was born to be a star in a band as big as Queen.

[@Carolinii711]

Ive been a Queen fan since their beginning, Ive been an Adam fan since his beginning, Freddie would have adored Adam, Ive seen them perform many times, both Freddie and Adam are show men of the highest standard Im so happy that Queen continue to tour with Adam, they are both amazing and I am sure Freddie would approve, I wish Adam continued success both with Queen and his solo career he is magical 💜💛💜

[@lynnehatch5956]

Brilliant chat session, Adam is very intelligent, shows how in the way he speaks , the way he explains, he comes across as very wise and puts a lot of thought into what he said❤️🐾

[@danielrevell-wiseman3647]

To step into Freddie’s shoes, and to take the risks he has, be himself; put aside ego and pride….. he is just fabulous! Well done both for getting this out there. And I love Jamie even more for being such an ally. 🥰🥰

[@kt2906]

I loved this interview so so much! Thank you for this. Adam Lambert is such a gem of a person I am fascinated by him. What an amazing person he is.

[@clairegicbc]

Such a good interview with Adam. I'm a 63y old grandmother who enjoyed following Adam during Idol time, anxious for each week to see and hear next act. Since then, it's great to see that he is doing great in his profession. Now Broadway in the works. His voice is so beautiful. Opera? What a tone. Congrats Adam. Keep surprising us.

[@joycemoss6205]

I am 80 woman and i have been a fan since the beginning so now when I see him with Queen I am so overjoyed cause he is so awesome!!!!

[@tracyp444]

I love this kid !!! What an extraordinary voice !!! He shows complete respect to Freddy and honors him in the best way ... we are all blessed that Adam is such a great fit for Queen !!!

What I love about Adam so much is the fact that he never tried to be Freddie, he is himself whilst also celebrating the genius of Freddie Mercury and honouring the music

Adam is a remarkable speaker. honest, well spoken, enchanting, in addition he is delightful to watch🥰

[@christinecadizkennels5126]

So much respect for Adam, an amazing talent

[@gretetbr]

I loved Adam from the moment I saw him on American Idol.I remember being so excited when my parents bought me his first cd,I had it on repeat and learned all the lyrics.When after so many years of dreaming of seeing him live one day came true I just couldn't believe it,felt unreal.His stage presence and voice are phenomenal.This interview is great and shows how comfortable he makes others feel in his presence ❤️

[@chellesummer8581]

As a follower from idol I’ve watched Adam grow & blossom into such a phenomenal singer, a generous person from his Feel Something’ foundation to sitting with young vulnerable groups. But stay so grounded. I could listen to him talk all day & love how he shows no superior game with people. Great talk guy’s 👏👏👏

[@kezzanewzealand4567]

The QAL show is awesome and Adam is lovely to talk to. He has phenomenal talent and a kind soul. He's also a powerful voice for his community. i love him. Great interview.

[@caroleblair1438]

I always thought Adam would go far and he has…to me he’s made it and having a good time with it. He’s really got the talent and voice to do anything he puts his mind to…so happy for him and it will probably always be the ones that don’t approve,but he will continue to be the great artist he is…I will always listen to his music as I do everyday and much love for him❤🙏

[@lilianwal2385]

This was a great interview. Adam is always great, he's super chatty, friendly, fun, interesting and gorgeous. The interviewer was fantastic too, really interested and upbeat.

[@liesamanneh3163]

Fab interview. Adam ,hats off to your parent’s for nurturing you to who you are ,a talented ,decent ,human being x

[@alexandraRatliff]

31:40-36:23 This was great. I think Adam is at his best when he’s talking about moving past fear and taking risks to get new things in life. He really has been so inspirational for me in this sense. I’ve heard him talk about this before in a few different interviews and it’s always so powerful.

[@ladyfan2000]

Great interview Jamie, very insightful questions. I love how open and honest Adam is about his life. He always comes across as so charming, endearing and relaxed in interviews. It's so nice to see that all his experiences haven't made him bitter or sarcastic. Adam keeps his bright soul and his heart of gold, I love this man ✨🫶

[@Sdt526]

I watched that whole series of American Idol because I happened to watch the one with his audition, and was obsessed as soon as I heard him. I only ever watched the odd programme from any of the other years. He didn’t need to win to be a winner, he’s just amazing. Jamie I’m loving this podcast and your guests

[@annecrossland6453]

Such a great conversation. Adam is always so interesting. Thanks!

[@knockshinnoch1950]

I watched Adam's Idol journey on ITV2 here in the UK. He was uniquely talented- creative and inventive- unlike any previous Idol contestant. He was a force of nature , a breath of fresh air. He was the real winner of the season but of course the awful homophobia of a large section of Americans denied him the win. His solo career never quite lived up to the promise of those early days- he's had moderate success here in the UK where several of his albums charted but only one top 20 single. His collaboration with Queen- that's something very different! He's the only person who could step up and fulfil the position as natural heir to Freddie. I saw him perform with Queen a few years back and he was SENSATIONAL! This is another terrific interview by Jamie- he has the knack of engaging with his guests, putting them at ease and allowing them to open up and share so much about themselves. A great You Tube channel that deserves to grow!

[@marshamoore5700]

Adam is so wise and intelligent! He has so many layers to his personality. I have learned so much just listening to him. He put words to some of my own experiences as a straight person! Go figure! I guess much of fear and growing up is universal. Great interview.

[@karenhardie1132]

Adam is a good guy and so talented. His voice is amazing. Ridiculous that he lost idol. Success will always bring haters.

[@sherimedford4106]

I love the way your natural face looks. But I get the dress up stuff too. I am 74 now but for decades I was studying dance and loved make up and dressing up. Thank you for explaining your journey with that. But I love to see you in interviews when you are natural. Natural matches your gentle sensitive authentic personality. Performance is amazing but I am glad you still are just you too. Thank you.

[@Flowerpot24]

I love Adam. I knew my daughter was lesbian but waited for her to tell me. When she told me I said thank you for trusting me and I'm so proud of you. We are so close and I'm proud of her every day. She had friends who's parents threw them out when they knew, not judging them but come on! They are your children, you made them. I understand the macho thing with dads but I'll never understand mothers who turn their backs on their child just because they're gay. No straight person understands the turmoil inside a teenage gay persons head and I'm so glad I am who I am, I don't care if you're gay, bi, straight, what ever colour skin, everyone to me are just people trying to get through life as best they can. 🌈🌈🌈🌈🌈🌈🌈🌈🌈🌈🌈

[@mariag5306]

I had a feeling my daughter was gay long before she did. I noticed that she and her best friend would have arguments but they hit different and affected them both differently than with just friends. Her friend was gay and she thought of me as her mother. Unfortunately her own mother didn't accept her but at least she had a wonderful relationship with her dad. Anyway back to my daughter. Once I noticed I decided to have a talk with her about love and relationships. I told her basically that it's okay who we fall in love with as long as we can be ourselves and not what society expects us to be. She finally told me a couple years ago, almost 10 years after our chat. It was so funny because she just casually threw it into the conversation as if discussing the weather.

[@Sabregirl21]

What an incredible interview. I clicked for Adam and subscribed for Jamie as he was so good.

[@Cyannah117]

Awesome interview dude!!! So glad that Adam was completely open and into it, says a lot to his actual personality. It says it all that Queen (that is Brian and Roger) held out replacing their front man for 20+ years until Adam came along. Adam just slotted right in there and I think Freddie was guiding that from the beyond. I’m saying that from the point of view of a massive Freddie/Queen fan BTW. I always felt that Adam would take Freddie’s mantle and run with it. No, he isn’t Freddie, there will never be another Freddie, BUT, Adam is the embodiment of Freddie… he feels the music the way Freddie did, he is a performer like Freddie was. Best fit as frontman for Queen there could ever be. Adam is a phenomenal vocalist in his own right, a beautiful soul and just so damned talented. I can remember telling my family the first minute I heard Adam audition on Idol that he would be a superstar and that only got clearer the further he progressed through the show…still have no idea how he ended up being runner up though, but guess he’s showed all his critics that he won in the long run…hmmm…who was the dude that won that year? 😂😂😂 On a personal note, as a Mum with a gay son…I knew that my eldest son was gay from a very, very young age (guess he was around 7 or 8, possibly younger looking back on old photos). He loved dressing in his sister’s clothes, loved make up, nail polish etc. and we just let him be silly and do what he wanted to do. Then of course, he sadly reigned all that in as a teenager and pretended to be straight. I have to say I was pretty horrible, not in a nasty way, but just wanting him to admit he was gay…I teased him mercilessly about girls just trying to get him to come out. I regret that now as it probably made him feel more conflicted in himself, although he says he knows that I knew back then but wasn’t confident in the reactions from other family members or his Dad if he came out then. 😢 He dabbled with drag for a bit in his early 20’s but finally settled on just being himself. When he finally publicly came out when he met his partner (now fiancé) 8+ years ago, I cheered to the world! 😂 He is 34 now, has been with his fiancé for 8+ years and it is so gratifying that he doesn’t have to hide himself anymore. His fiancé is a sweetheart too. ❤

In our family we have straight, gay, bi, trans....but basically they're family, that's what they're defined to be. Grateful that I was raised right and passed those values on to my children and grandchildren, each unique and beautiful in their own way. Bless you Adam Lambert, wishing you all the best.

[@sarahvaughan4553]

Great interview, well done Jamie! I saw Adam and Queen at Central Methodist Hall New Years Eve 2014. One of the best experiences of my life. There were only 1800 people in the room and I couldn't believe I was seeing Adam (as well as Queen) in such an intimate space to begin with! I got the last but one ticket and in the run up I had to stop talking about it because when I did I got so excited I kept losing my appetite LOL! Went to bed at 5am (I live in London!) after the concert because when I got home I couldn't stop looking at the photos and video I'd taken of him. I was near the front and one time when I shouted "Adam" he made a point as he walked towards my side of the stage to give a long look. He's so amazing to his fans. He sees us and lets us know. It was like a dream. He's talented but also intelligent. Great combo :)

[@FatimaSorianoOfficial]

I wholeheartedly agree. All the hate that Adam and other amazing vocalists get for having the courage to step into the shoes of the much loved front men of their respective bands still baffles and saddnes me. They are not just "replacements", especially Adam. He himself has said that he is not their to replace Freddie, someone who could never be replaced in a million years, but that he's there to sing and pay tribute to his legacy and that of the band's. Songs that are so cherished and embraced by the world. We most certainly should be applauding them and appreciating their pure talent and genius rather than hatefully debating whether ot or not they are "worthy replacements".
