Adam Lambert
Thrilled by the stage, Lambert took private voice lessons and appeared in more musicals such as Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat, Grease and Chess at local theatres. His voice coach, Lynne Broyles, and artistic director of the Children's Theatre Network, Alex Urban, became influential mentors during this time.In 2004, Lambert was making a name for himself through small parts around the Los Angeles area. He played a small role in The Ten Commandments at the Kodak Theatre alongside film actor Val Kilmer. He also began regular performances in The Zodiac Show, a touring revue of live music and talent that was co-created by Carmit Bachar of the band Pussycat Dolls. During his time with Zodiac, Lambert wowed fellow performers with his vocal range. He also began writing his own music with the revue; one particular original song, "Crawl Through Fire," was written in collaboration with Madonna's guitarist Monte Pittman. Most recently, Lambert landed an understudy spot as Fiyero in the touring and Los Angeles casts of the play, Wicked.
Lambert stepped into the national spotlight in 2009, after he became a finalist on the eighth season of the reality television competition, American Idol. His performance of the 2001 Gary Jules' arrangement of the song "Mad World" earned a standing ovation from the show's harshest critic, Simon Cowell. His vocal range, along with his jet-black hair and heavy mascara, earned him comparisons to glam rockers like Freddie Mercury and Gene Simmons. Despite the loss, Lambert's debut album, For Your Entertainment (2009) was a huge success, debuting at number No. 3 on the Billboard 200 chart. In 2010 he was nominated for his first Grammy for his hit "Whataya Want From Me ".
