Adam Lambert

One thing is certain, there were a lot of talented artists this year, and however, Adam Lambert stood out the most.

Popular “POP” music is a genre that touches base to a huge audience. As there are many talented artists and bands that often identify with just one genre, the moment they reach a big audience, they are destined to be world-class superstars. Thus, Lambert for one is a reality.

Lambert was born in Indianapolis on January 29, 1982, to mother Leila, an interior designer; and father Ebder, a program manager for Novatel Wireless. At 19, he worked by performing on a cruise ship for ten months. His beginnings were ushered by taking chances and opportunities. However, his career boomed until he joined and won the American Idol 2009.

Lambert’s first studio album was released on November 23, 2009 entitled For your Entertainment. As of April 2012, the album had sold nearly 2 million copies worldwide which was certified gold in the US in June 2010.

Moreover, he appeared on the cover of Out magazine in their 2009 “Out 100″ issue, sparking controversy as Out’s publisher issued him an open letter questioning the “gayness” of his image. In April, he became one of People Magazine’s Most Beautiful People 2010.

Lambert’s own music has been influenced by numerous genres including classic rock, pop, and electronic music.

He is best known for his exaggerated performance style and thorough attention to detail in all aspects of his personal presentation. He draws upon extensive stage experience in the ease with which he can refine and define his image through fashion and other imagery, which are essential to how he chooses to inhabit his songs, rivet his audiences and showcase his individuality.

You cannot help, but love this man. One would have never seen an artist this year who can deliver such incredible vocals while engaging crowds making you relate what they are singing about. Lambert’s vocal ability has no limits and when he takes off, it’s as if the world is painted red. Lambert is clearly the best popular music singer the world has ever heard.
