On Friday night Adam Lambert appeared on ABC's "Nightline," and the former "American Idol" runner-up shared some of his past musical inspirations.
While we already know from Friday morning that Adam is a fan of Bob Marley and David Bowie, he shared some of his additional favorites during the special:
- Madonna's "Vogue:" We've heard in the past that Adam has a special place in his heart for Madonna, but the spoken-word portion of "Vogue" in particular was one of his favorite pieces of music as a child.
- Michael Jackson's "Thriller:" One of the most influential music videos of all time, this song for Adam helped him realize that he wanted to perform for a living.
- Depeche Mode's "Pain That I'm Used To:" Adam's version of a break-up song, this song helped him recover from a failed relationship.
- Lady Gaga's "Speechless:" We all know that Lambert loves Lady Gaga, so this last one shouldn't be much of a surprise. However, he credited "Speechless" specifically for sounding like a throwback to some 1970s piano ballads a la Elton John.
