Adam Lambert is the latest of a number of celebrities who are talking about Michael Jackson, and the impact he has had on music and dance. Lambert says of Jackson, that his visual and artistic genius is untouched.
Lambert tells MTV, "[H]is music so groundbreaking because he really brought a lot of rock into [it]," Lambert, who grew up listening to MJ and watching his videos. He had initially set himself up with this R&B presence and he brought so much rock into it and I think it was really groundbreaking how he fused all those different styles together in a pop format. I'm very inspired by that musically." Lambert adds, "Visually, his videos were, like, you could not compete with Michael Jackson," Lambert said with a smile. "He was the one. He just took a lot of chances and really went full into his thematic choices and I'm inspired by that as well."
Lambert who has just this week premiered his very first music video, is said to be looking forward to watching 'This Is It' saying, "I can't wait to see the film. I know it is going to be fantastic. The 2012 trailer that we put together with the video is also going to be premiering with the Michael Jackson film. That will be like a double whammy for me." Lambert has also just finished recording a song written by Lady GaGa.

To ADAM's fans: Lindsay Parker of Reality Rocks, article dated Oct. 21, has heard 3 songs from ADAM' FYE debut album. She has this to say:
"Yes, the music was THAT good, people. It was EXACTLY the extraterrestrial electro-opus I hoped and dreamed it would be. You know how the Glamerican Idol recently told Entertainment Weekly that his album would sound "as if a '70s time-capsule blasted off into space and you're watching it through a holographic filter"? Well, yeah, that sums it up pretty awesomely; I honestly don't know if I can actually top such brilliant wordage. Perhaps Adam should just have my job...if he weren't so busy reinventing the pop wheel, being fabulous, making plans for world domination, daring to dance in the path of greatness, etc." Read more.
