ADAM Lambert is among many US singers with reason to thank Simon Cowell for giving him a lift through American Idol. Although already established in musical theatre, it took Idol to launch his rock career.
He may have come second to Kris Allen in series eight, but For Your Entertainment topped the US charts in December. Produced by the likes of Greg Wells, Sam Sparro, Max Martin and Linda Perry, the album lives up to what Lambert himself describes as a “rock-pop-electronic-dance thing”.
Although British audiences have had to wait for the album, five tracks have been added for our entertainment, including the truly splendid Time For Miracles, from the disaster movie soundtrack 2012.
