Adam Lambert
"Mad About The Boy" 2:51 released Oct 7, 2022
Theme song for the documentry "Mad About The Boy – The Noël Coward Story" coming to Broadway in 2023. Words/Music by: Noel Coward Produced by Amanda Ghost & Johnny Coffer 2022 On EastWest Records/ Warner Music UK imprint.
Lyrics
I'm mad about the boy I know it's stupid to be mad about the boy I'm so ashamed of it but must've admit The sleepless nights I've had, about the boy
Oh-oh-oh, on the silver screen He melts my foolish heart in every single scene Although I'm quite aware, that here and there Are traces of the cad about the boy
Lord knows, I'm not a fool, boy I really shouldn't care Lord knows, I'm not a school boy In the fury of his first affair
Will it ever cloy This odd diversity of misery and joy I'm feeling quite insane and young again And all because I'm mad about the boy
So if I could employ A little magic that will finally destroy History, it pains me and it chains me 'Cause I'm mad about the boy I'm mad about the boy I'm mad about the boy About the boy
* This track will also appear on a new album to be released next year

The first album I ever owned was "For Your Entertainment" by Adam Lambert, before I even knew what the word "gay" meant. (We weren't allowed to say that word in the house, and I straight up did not know its definition.) I would sit for hours on my bed listening to it on my old ass Sony Discman (yes, I know it was 2009 but I was a very deprived kid) and reading the liner notes.
Adam's career has taken him all kinds of odd places, and I don't really listen to his new stuff, but I'll always support him; I feel like he's really underrated as a modern pioneer for out gay pop stars.

Hello Nasarati, my first album was also "For Your Entertainment" but my favorite to date was his last release "Velvet" because of the different styles that showcased his musical versatility. He was supposed to go on tour for that release as the opening act for Cher, but Covid happened and the tour was cancelled. Support at that label was minimal and the CD pretty much went nowhere. I do think he's very underrated as a vocalist. Hopefully, his signing to EastWest Records/Warner Music UK imprint will see him receive the promotion and radio support he deserves. I'll be updating this thread when he starts doing promotional appearances and start getting radio adds. You're welcome anytime - thanks for popping by.

I wanted to like his last album, but the singles weren’t catchy -even though they were musically interesting. I enjoyed the FYE album and The Original High -which should’ve been much more successful than it did. Plus, Lay Me Down should’ve also been a hit. I hope Adam can have a comeback, as he’s a unique singer and performer who deserved a bigger success (than his well earned respect with Queen).

On YouTube: The Darren Criss Christmas song " (Everybody's Waitin' For) The Man With The Bag" featuring Adam Lambert, a great song released I believe in 2021. I also found out that Adam is currently a judge on Starstruck ITV. He is part of the all-star panel of judges that also includes Sheridan Smith, Jason Manford and Beverley Knight. They choose their favorite team to perform again in the sing-off, which sees the ultimate solo sound-alike going through to the grand final and a chance to win a £50,000 prize.

From Billboard billboard · (Dec 7, 2022) Official *The season 22 finale of #TheVoice will feature @kellyclarkson, @maluma, @adamlambert, @kanebrown and more! Recent remakes on the web: Holding Out For A Hero - 12/07/22 Performance www.bilibili.com/video/BV1y841157u9/There I Said It - 10/26/22 Performance
IMO both the above songs are possible candidates for inclusion on "High Drama", although unofficial.
*Another track on HD will be his version of the Duran Duran song " Ordinary World" which he will perform on Tuesday, Dec 13 @nbcthevoice

Adam always brings it....shame that Velvet was KO'd by Covid -- he had a whole dream year planned with that thing, vegas residency, tv appearances, usa co-tour with Xtina, european solo tour with big show at Wembley arena...all went up in smoke. And the album had some of his strongest material to date. Oh well, bygones. He can sing anything so looking forward to his takes on the songs on the upcoming album. His performance of Ordinary World on the Voice last night was really well done

I am actually interested in this. While I haven't followed Adam since The Original High, I was always a fan of his voice and obviously, he can kill a cover. The cover reminds me of Blake Lewis's debut.

Currently charting at Kworb in: 8 - 17 - 13 US, UK, AU
This will definitely be his hit for 2023. I really liked his version of "Mad About The Boy", but it was not commercial enough. I did think it would chart on AC but am uncertain if it was sent to that radio format.

I remember when he left/was dropped from RCA after they wanted him to do an '80s cover album following Trespassing's underperformance and he refused. I think it makes a lot more sense for him to do it now, though. He's already got four great, underrated albums of original material under his belt.

Had no idea he was still recording music, but I love the song "Mad About the Boy" (Carmen McRae's cover specifically) so I went and checked it out. For some reason, I thought "I'm a Man" was going to be a cover of The Spencer Davis Group. Looked up Jobriath and it is definitely not... whatever that is.
Didn't much care for his cover of MATB, though. Fantastic vocals, but his cadence and delivery don't do it for me. He plays it too safe.

Someone should change the thread title to be 'High Drama' or someone like that. I'm excited for what's to come.

It's a modest start but with the holiday videos dominating the charts, Christmas songs reign. He's also been missing from the charts for several years.

The latest release / video from High Drama "Holdin' Out For A Hero" is currently the fastest mover from the three tracks thus far released. It seems this rock remake may have the best chance for a hit.
