Adam Lambert, known for his powerful vocals and theatrical presence, delivered a memorable performance of the classic hit “Holding Out for a Hero” on Good Morning America. The song, originally recorded by Bonnie Tyler and written by the iconic Jim Steinman and Dean Pitchford, is part of Lambert’s album, High Drama, which reimagines beloved tracks with his unique style.

Lambert’s rendition brings an electrifying, fresh spin to the 1984 anthem. His bold and intense vocal interpretation, combined with a contemporary instrumental arrangement, set the stage for a thrilling morning performance. The singer’s expressive style added a rock-infused edge to the classic, building on the song’s dramatic core while making it distinctly his own.

Released as part of High Drama, an album that pays homage to timeless songs through Lambert’s transformative lens, “Holding Out for a Hero” has quickly become a fan favorite. His performance on GMA showcased not only his vocal prowess but his ability to reinterpret classic material in a way that resonates with both his dedicated fanbase and new listeners alike.

This standout moment on national television reinforces Lambert’s reputation as one of today’s most versatile artists, able to balance respect for original compositions while confidently infusing them with his signature sound.

Adam Lambert, the breakout star from American Idol, took the stage by storm at the Summertime Ball 2023, delivering an unforgettable performance that left fans buzzing. The talented singer kicked off his set with a captivating cover of Cher’s iconic anthem “Believe,” infusing it with his signature flair and powerful vocals.

As the crowd sang along, Lambert seamlessly transitioned into his viral hit “Muffin Man,” creating a dynamic mashup that showcased his versatility as an artist. The unexpected combination thrilled concertgoers, who cheered wildly at the creative twist on two beloved songs.

Lambert’s stage presence was electric, engaging the audience with his charisma and energy. Fans were treated to a visual spectacle, complete with dazzling lights and impressive choreography, making for an exhilarating experience. This performance highlighted Lambert’s ability to blend classic pop with contemporary sounds, proving once again why he is a standout in the music industry.

Since his time on American Idol, where he captivated audiences with his incredible vocal talent and unique style, Lambert has continued to evolve as an artist. His appearance at the Summertime Ball, held at Wembley Stadium, was a testament to his lasting impact on the music scene.

Amidst a lineup of some of the biggest names in music, Lambert’s unique mashup undoubtedly became one of the event’s standout moments. As the performance came to a close, the audience erupted in applause, solidifying Lambert’s reputation as a powerhouse performer who knows how to captivate a crowd.

With this show-stopping performance, Lambert continues to make waves in the music scene, leaving fans eagerly anticipating what he will do next.

The long-awaited Queen documentary The Show Must Go On: The Queen + Adam Lambert Story made its major debut on April 29 on ABC. Fans got a sneak peak behind the frontman who revitalized the legendary band in the 21st century.

In a clip debuted on Monday’s episode of Good Morning America, Adam Lambert and his mother, Leila, look back on his childhood, where they say a star was born. “When Adam was younger, he didn’t quite fit in,” Leila said. “He would do a lot of acting out of fantasy things, and he would ask me to film him and take pictures while he was dancing or singing. We thought, ‘There’s got to be another outlet.’”

Lambert’s parents decided to put him in a children’s theater group, where the star says he truly discovered his love for performing. “I remember the first Saturday I went, I was instantly like ‘I found my people,’” he said, interspersed with clips of him performing in various shows.

Leila Lambert revealed that it wasn’t until after taking Adam in for voice lessons that they discovered his massive singing talent in a production of Fiddler on the Roof. Adam, meanwhile, says that his love of theater helped him overcome his own inhibitions. “As a strange kid, who was kind of ashamed of his body, and in the closet and a whole list of other insecurities, having something that I was good at and that got me a lot of attention, became sort of medicine for me.”

Adam Lambert is the most successful man to ever lose American Idol. His Top 3 performance of Aerosmith’s “Cryin’” back in 2009 had then-judge Paula Abdul declaring, “We’ll be seeing you next week and many years after that.” Lambert ultimately finished the runner-up to season 8 winner Kris Allen. Since then, he has sold more than 3 million albums and 5 million singles worldwide. Now Lambert has new music coming, and it just might be his boldest work yet.

Adam Lambert: “I Feel Very Free Right Now”

Adam Lambert’s first live performance after losing American Idol was a controversial one. The Indiana native, now 42, felt pressured to tone down his dramatic stage presence in order to find mainstream success. He did, becoming the first openly gay musician to debut atop the Billboard charts. Now, he’s ready to reclaim some of that pizzaz.

Lambert’s six-song EP, Afters, drops Friday (July 19.) And with titles like “Lube” and “Wet Dream,” the artist promises listeners will “sweat, connect and leave all shame and inhabitions [sic] behind.”

“I think I feel very free right now,” Lambert told Them magazine.

Lambert Talks “Weird Pushback”

Lambert added, “The team that I’ve put together, that I’m working with now, are very much allowing me to drive. I can’t say that that was never the case, but it’s the best it’s ever been.”

With that newfound freedom comes plenty of room for creative self-expression. And Lambert says fans can expect it to get real weird.

“The queer community has made so much progress, obviously over the last 15 years, but now we’re facing a lot of weird pushback from right-wing, hyper-conservative parts of our country,” the GRAMMY nominee said. “That might cause some people to react by taking a step back and being more cautious. But in a way, it almost lights a fire in me. It makes me feel like, ‘Well, f— you. I’m going to shine brighter. I’m going to be even gayer.’”

Who Does Lambert Think Should Replace Katy Perry?

With Katy Perry exiting American Idol in May after seven seasons as a judge, everyone has an opinion on who should replace the “Part of Me” singer. Recently, Adam Lambert weighed in with his pick.

“I think LeAnn Rimes would be great,” he said. “[She’s] so lovely, so down to Earth—very spiritual and deep, but great sense of humor. I think she’d be good on the show.”

After months and months of auditions, showstoppers, and live shows, the winner of American Idol Season 23 was finally crowned on May 18. (Read our minute-by-minute recap.)

The final three contestants — pop-country singer Breanna Nix, R&B artist Jamal Roberts, and country star John Foster — went head-to-head-to-head during ABC’s three-hour finale on Sunday night. After America voted live coast-to-coast, Jamal was named the winner, John finished as the runner-up, and Breanna came in third place.

Jamal is now the second Black man to win American Idol after Season 2’s Ruben Studdard 22 years ago, in 2003. Meanwhile, there have been four Black women to prevail: Fantasia Barrino, Jordin Sparks, Candice Glover, and Just Sam.

“I’m anointed. I know how to use it. I know how to tap in,” Jamal told Gold Derby on the red carpet. After the confetti fell, Jamal got down on the floor and did a snow angel on the big stage. “I will always remember that moment, because I’ve actually never done a snow angel before in the real snow — it was just amazing,” the Mississippi native revealed.

“I was overwhelmed,” Jamal continued. “It still hasn’t settled in yet.” The newly-crowned champ is excited to get in the studio and work on an “inspirational soul” album, but has no plans on leaving his hometown of Meridian, Miss. “I love my city,” he said. “There’s no traffic. I don’t wait in line to eat. I love my life!” When asked about his hometown visit prior to the finale he said, “I knew I was loved, but when I saw that many people out there for me — I was shocked.”

Carrie Underwood, who has yet to confirm if she will return for Season 24, had one goal during her first season as a judge: to make sure there was incredible talent left at the end. “The Top 10 were just insane,” she told Gold Derby. “Everybody had their moment and took their opportunity. You won’t find this level of talent anywhere else.”

“I know what it’s like to grow up in a small town,” Carrie said about watching the hometown visits. “To see that many people show up and support — they just had an incredible day. We were all very emotional watching it.”

When asked if there was anything she would do differently next season, Carrie said, “If I do come back, I’m going to make sure nobody cheats [on ‘Rock and Roll Hall of Fame Night’]. I wanna rock!”

“I’m excited!” said showrunner Megan Wolflick about Jamal’s historic triumph. “It felt like an old-school Idol finale. It felt like Ruben vs. Clay [Aiken].” She told Gold Derby that she wouldn’t “call this the countriest season ever,” because it contained “multi-genre talent.” The producer pinpointed Season 10, which ended in the battle between Scotty McCreery and Lauren Alaina, as quite possibly the season with the biggest country feel to it.

The rest of the top 14 also took part in the finale: Gabby Samone, Mattie Pruitt, Slater Nalley, Thunderstorm Artis, Josh King, Canaan James Hill, Kolbi Jordan, Ché Chesterman, Filo, Amanda Barise, and Desmond Roberts. They sang tunes with some of the biggest A-list artists in the industry, including Brandon Lake, Goo Goo Dolls, Good Charlotte, Jennifer Holliday, Jessica Simpson, Kirk Franklin, Myles Smith, Patti LaBelle, Salt-N-Pepa, and Cody Johnson.

Host Ryan Seacrest revealed the winner’s name at the end of the episode, just as he’s done for each of the past 22 seasons. Current judges Luke Bryan, Carrie Underwood, and Lionel Richie sang a showstopping rendition of “Stuck on You” together, while “Artist in Residence” and mentor Jelly Roll performed “Unpretty” and “Liar” with Jamal.

Jamal Roberts, a 27-year-old father and P.E. teacher from Meridian, Miss., went viral for these performances on the big stage: “Tennessee Whiskey,” “Liar,” “Forever,” “Try a Little Tenderness,” “Shout,” “Heal,” “Undo It,” “I Believe,” “Go the Distance,” “A Change Is Gonna Come,” “Ain’t No Mountain High Enough,” and “Beauty and the Beast.” His original R&B single is “Heal.”

John Foster, an 18-year-old student from Addis, La., sang his way into America’s heart with his renditions of “In Color,” “Callin’ Baton Rouge,” “Tell That Angel I Love Her,” “Neon Moon,” “Jailhouse Rock,” “I Told You So,” “Something to Talk About,” “I Cross My Heart,” “Almost There,” “Believe,” “The Bare Necessities,” and “Rainbow Connection.” His original country single is “Tell That Angel I Love Her.”

Breanna Nix, a 25-year-old mother and health coach from Denton, Texas, belted out the following tunes during her time on the show: “The Trouble With Love Is,” “Still Rolling Stones,” “Up to the Mountain,” “The Show Must Go On,” “Open Arms,” “Tell Your Heart To Beat Again,” “Water Under the Bridge,” “Independence Day,” “Reflection,” “Like My Mother Does,” “This Will Be” and “You’ll Be in My Heart.” Her original pop-country single is “Higher.”

According to the Gold Derby predictions, John Foster was out front to win the competition with leading 2/3 odds. He was followed by Jamal Roberts in second place at 2/1 odds, and Breanna Nix in third place at 14/1 odds. Are you happy with the ultimate Season 23 results?

Adam Lambert and LeAnn Rimes Shock the World at CMA Fest with Earth-Shaking “Shallow” Duet

The stage wasn’t ready — but they did it anyway.

Adam Lambert and LeAnn Rimes set CMA Fest on fire with a surprise duet that instantly became the moment of the year. Forget The Voice stage — this was bigger, hotter, and historic. When the “Stage Monster” met the “Voice Angel,” the result was a performance so powerful, fans say it felt like the universe paused to listen.

The song? “Shallow.”
The impact? Unreal.

From the first haunting note, the crowd knew something massive was unfolding. LeAnn brought the aching vulnerability, her voice dripping with heartbreak and soul. Then Adam soared in with that unmistakable power — raw, explosive, impossible to ignore. The contrast was magic: her pain, his fire — and together, a perfect storm.

This wasn’t just a duet. It was a collision. Two vocal forces from different worlds, blending so seamlessly it felt otherworldly. The emotional weight of the lyrics, already iconic, now carried new meaning through their voices. Every line hit harder. Every note carried a punch.

The crowd? Screaming. Crying. Stunned.

The stage? No longer a stage — it became a battleground of emotion and vocal mastery.

The moment? Instantly legendary.

What started as a surprise performance ended as a cultural quake. Social media exploded, fans called it “otherworldly,” “unreal,” and “the kind of duet that only happens once in a lifetime.”

Adam Lambert and LeAnn Rimes didn’t just sing “Shallow.”
They redefined it.

Adam Lambert and LeAnn Rimes Perform an Epic Queen Medley | The Blind Auditions | The Voice Australia

Adam Lambert stunned his audience by stepping away from his usual larger-than-life rock star persona, opting for a more intimate and emotional performance. Stripped of the glam and grandeur, he delivered a soulful rendition of his song, “Feel Something,” with a vulnerability.

The contrast between his typical high-energy performances and this more subdued moment caught many by surprise, but it was this raw honesty that captured hearts. With every note, Adam’s voice wove a story that stayed with listeners long after the final chord.

During the performance, Adam’s voice felt personal and real, connecting deeply with the audience. He toned down his usual flashy stage presence and took a more relaxed, soulful approach, letting the emotion of the song stand out.

Fans couldn’t get enough of the performance, and it quickly went viral, gaining millions of views across social media. Adam’s heartfelt delivery struck a chord with listeners, who were impressed by the raw emotion he brought to the song. Many pointed out how this performance revealed a new side of the artist, one that left them excited to see where this fresh musical direction might take him next.

“Feel Something” is a fresh change for Adam, moving away from the high-energy rock anthems he’s known for. This song is a heartfelt ballad that explores themes like emotional vulnerability, longing, and the deep human need for connection. With a simple, stripped-back arrangement, the track gives Adam’s voice room to shine.

Adele joined her son to dance to ‘Ramrod.’

Bruce Springsteen’s The River tour backtracked to New York’s Madison Square Garden on Monday to play the show that was postponed in January due to a winter storm. This time, Springsteen brought out a special guest to dance with him during “Ramrod”: his mother.

While the E Street band played the song, he left the stage to find his 90-year-old mom, Adele, sitting in the 100-level seats. According to reports and footage, the crowd erupted in a standing ovation as fans watched Springsteen and Adele dance on the jumbotron.

Previously, Adele has joined him on stage to dance during renditions of “Dancing in the Dark,” a song during which Springsteen usually invites a crowd member to the stage. (Remember the 91-year-old woman he brought out during a show in St. Paul, Minnesota?)

See footage of Springsteen and his mother dancing on Monday below.

News that Adam Lambert was joining The Voice Australia as a coach in 2024 had his fans squee-ing with excitement. The former American Idol star built a hugely successful career after appearing on the show in 2009, even though he didn’t win (he came runner-up to Kris Allen).

Apart from releasing his own albums, he has also performed with rock megastars Queen on several worldwide tours since 2012.

When Lambert first appeared on American Idol, he wasn’t officially ‘out.’ In June 2009, he confirmed to Rolling Stone that he was gay, and he’s been a passionate advocate for LGBTQIA+ rights ever since.

The award-winning pop star has been in a relationship with Oliver Gliese since 2021. Here’s what we know about their “very happy” relationship.

Adam Lambert, 42, has been dating 28-year-old Oliver Gliese since early 2021.

Gliese, from Denmark, has been involved in the fashion industry for several years; he’s currently the Innovation Partnerships Manager for Global Fashion Agenda, according to his LinkedIn profile.

Lambert revealed he was in a relationship with Gliese in February 2021, and the pair went ‘Instagram official’ in May of that year.

Gliese regularly shares insights into his relationship with Lambert on social media. He has 30,000 followers on Instagram, where he regularly posts loved-up snaps of the pair out and about at clubs, parties and events.

In one post, where Gliese shared a picture of himself kissing Lambert’s cheek, he called the singer “the one”.

What has Adam Lambert said about his boyfriend?

In February 2023, Lambert told PEOPLE a little bit about his relationship with Gliese.

“We’re really good at communicating,” he said. “I think that is the key to a healthy relationship. Every couple runs into disagreements or misunderstandings, but if you can sit down and talk it out, that’s the best. We have that, and I’m really thankful for it.”

They both love fashion and are regularly photographed or spotted by fans dressed up to the max, but Lambert once revealed on social media that his partner had been subjected to homophobic abuse by some of his less open-minded fans.

“Oli identifies as a he, he has wicked style and refuses to conform to the societal norms regarding his fashion choices,” Lambert said in a long message posted to Instagram in August 2023.

“He is beautiful and brave and daring. He’s a leader, not a follower. One of the many things I love about him! We are very happy together and if the haters don’t like it, we don’t really give a f***. Grow up and challenge yourself to explore tolerance. We are all just trying to stay happy and fulfilled with our lives.”

What is Adam Lambert’s dating history?

Before meeting Gliese, Lambert dated Spanish model Javi Costa Polo.

He was in a relationship with Finnish TV personality Sauli Koskinen from 2010 to 2013. Prior to that, he dated American figure skater and TV commentator Johnny Weir.
