Can’t wait three more torturous weeks for Glambert’s debut to drop? Be sated, child, by amazon.co.uk, the British arm of the books-plus behemoth: They’ve got 30-second teasers of all 19(!) tracks currently up on their site.
Get thee to it, Glamborinas, and pick your early favorites. The bananas falsetto on prance-prance-revolution “Music Again,” a collaboration with The Darkness’ Justin Hawkins, had me at high-pitched hello, though that may be because (Braggy McBraggerson) I got to hear it in full last week at an EW listening session.
But you tell me — loving what Señor One Glove has to offer, or wishing he would cover both ears while he’s at it?

He looks like Boy George..when he was younger. Adam should like remake some of the songs that would like rule!
“Watch online music videos 24/7 on defSpot com’
Adam is not a rocker that is for sure. He is a phony.
Nino stop with your BS, you are a phony yourself. Get over it!
Go away and watch some cartoon please!! Childish!!
All I can say is reference Christina Aguilera’s “Keeps Gettin Better”…is almost the same song as “for your entertainment”
Judging from the first single, you’re right, he’s not a rocker. A rocker wouldn’t dare record a song like that. It would be career suicide, and all rock credibility would go out the window. I think that most Adam fans are dillusional, and actually thinks that he’s a rocker because he mimics and dresses like a rocker. So, I guess you’re right.
We are NOT delusional, we like the record, all you haters keep bringing up the rocker thing. His fans know who Adam is so I think you can move on now.
I just can’t help responding to people that think a rocker would never wear makeup. Try looking up Ozzie Osbourne. Or better yet, look up the album cover for Edgar Winters’ They Only Come Out at Night. Rockers have been wearing makeup (esp guy-liner) for decades.
We who get how crazy talented Adam is know that he’s not just a “rocker.” He’s being himself, and making music that he likes: rock, pop, techno, etc. If you don’t like him or his music, MOVE ON!!!
Nino, I understand your sentiment about Adam not being a “rocker.” But the truth is Adam can do rock really well, and can do a lot of other things JUST as well. He will probably never get rock cred after coming off of AI,but so what? I have read and listened to a number of interviews Adam did after the show, and he said his album would contain some elements of rock. He himself never maintained he was going to do strictly rock. It was the judge on AI who called him a “Rock God,” and “a rock star waiting to happen,”I think a lot of fans who loved his rock performances got carried away with that. I happen to love his rock performances, but also love his other stuff. I hope he will collaborate with more rock artists in the future. I also loved Alison’s rock vibe on the show, and if you heard her first single, it is very pop….like a Miley Cyrus song…..not rock at all. I am hoping for more rock influence from her later on as well. If Adam and Alison can be more successful in the real world, maybe that will open up the doors for more rock and roll singers to succeed in the music indutry.
you people are so pathetic….arguing over 30sec snippets, grow up ppl! thank god you’re all nobodies, hallelujah, I don’t think the world is ready for ppl like you.
FYI, I like the single FYE…I judge music after I listen to the whole track, not 30sec….take a lesson from me LOSERS:)
Your just plain stupid Luke, and who the hell do YOU think you are anyways? You are no better. Luke the Loser……..yeah sounds good for a nic.
I’m with you, Nino!
Nino.. why do you so sarcastic…? Do you think that you are smarter than Brian May or the judges at AI? Come on… be realistic..
Why should I go away, because I am telling the truth? He is a fraud. Like his dyed hair and make up. Plus he is ugly as sin. No REAL female would find him attractive.
Nino. . . do you realize how moronic and pathetic you’re showing yourself to be? Go spread your hate somewhere else. Why are you even here on a site for someone you don’t like?
Dear Adam fans: instead of insulting someone who says something negative about Adam, why don’t you respond with a positive Adam attribute, or at least point out where the person went wrong with their derogatory statements. Calling people names is not a proper way to defend Adam.
Sorry Nino the hater, my wife and daughter are REAL woman they both find him attractive, so I guess you are wrong there as well.
He would have more credibility if he didn’t wear the makeup and fake rocker gear. I think people bouht into the rock god thing, and are disappointed that he didn’t go that way.
Just telling it like it is! And I didn’t call names; I said she/he/it was “acting” moronic, pathetc, etc., etc., etc. . . LOL
Nino: ADAM is one of the MOST HANDSOME men on the planet as well as having an INCOMPARABLE VOICE. His album is as WONDERFUL as he is. WE his fans LOVE him dearly!!
Wow which kind of rocker are we stero typing today – Adam wouldn’t be like David Bowie who wore tons of make-up and nothing like Freddie Mercury and Queen who also wore make-up at times and did a lot of different styles of music. Lou Reed who did flat out tranny. Or are we talking KISS (make up anyone). Rock can be anything with certain types of guitar and today it is closer to electro. Your stereo typing indicates you are worried about your own identity. Adam will do all genres and he will do them fantastically well so brace yourself.
Nino, you’re entitled to your opinion about his looks and music, but for you to say that no REAL woman would find him attractive is just plain stupid. Are you claiming that every woman who finds him attractive is really a transsexual?! That simply doesn’t make sense.
Nino.. you are absolutely WRONG..! Are you jelaous of him ?
becoz no woman like you ?
I wonder why Slezak isn’t covering anything about Adam? It’s probably because his B@NER is for Kris and Kris only. Notice how he hasn’t posted any “exclusives” or how he never interviewed Adam from the road? Nope it was all Kris Kris Kris with the occasional Allison thrown in. I think that’s one of the reasons I hope Adam does well and Kris tanks.
You ever think it’s because Adam gets an overwhelming supply of publicity, and Kris doesn’t? I think Kris needs the publicity more than Adam.
Oh, yes. Because Adam sure doesn’t get enough publicity. You mean the fawning of every other magazine publication and media outlet over Adam is not enough for you? Leave Slezak alone.
Hey Whereisslezak, Michael didn’t interview Adam on the road because Adam was on there that day, he was in studio recording his album…..
Wasn’t there……..man.
Have you ever considered that Slezak is just interviewing the WINNER? Come on BitterBerts! You guys didnt back ur man when it mattered. Deal with it. Go get airbrushed like your “Idol”
For crying out loud Slezak is just leveling the playing field. The rest of the mainstream media is treating Adam like he’s the second coming. Kris deserves some decent coverage, afterall he was the winner!
So what if Slezak covers the WINNER of AI8?? The winner deserves that kind of coverage!
The BitterBerts are clearly jealous of ANY attention that Kris gets from ANYBODY… It’s pathetic!
Kris won American Idol. Adam won World Idol
Kris won the AI is just becoz Adam is gay.. he won AI in unfair way. that’s my opinion..nothing special with Kris. he’s just an ordinary singer, not more..
I luuuuuuv track one. It is the glam rock awesomeness he promised us. But I can’t tell about the rest from just 30 seconds. A lot of it sounds over-produced like the FYE single.
Awwww Crispy you disappoint me. Alot of those songs do are no way near like the FYE single. The one that the muse guy wrote……damn forgot his name but Soaked is awesome. Broken Open and Loaded Smile are great too. I can’t believe you would say they sounded over-produced……even I can tell by 30 second snippets that most of his songs are great! Way better than FYE for sure. IMO
Matt, I think my biggest problem is that I expected a lot more rock, but I mostly hear studio-produced electronica on these snippets. There are only a couple of songs with guitar. But I’m keeping an open mind… can’t wait to hear the full-length songs!
Well Crispy thank you for that. An open mind, well that is all anyone can ask of anyone. I hope when you and myself as well get to hear the full-length songs we both are not disappointed, I don’t think I will be though, but you never know. Keeping an open mind! lol
I’m with Crispy on this (add that to the list of sentences I hadn’t imagined myself ever contructing). I LOVE the glam – don’t get me wrong – but I do hope we get a few songs without 200 vocal tracks that seemed to be on the few songs I clicked through. He’s good enough to just sing. I hope we can hear a little of that too. I can’t wait!
Well Amazon UK has already tooken down the free 30 second snippets except for TFM, FYE, and a few others, none that are going to be on the album are still up there. Anywhere else are they still available?
Yeah, it’s sort of all over the place for me too however I think when I can hear the full songs I’ll have a better idea of what they are about. I don’t hate any of them (which is a good thing), but I can’t say that I love any either (besides FYE which I fell in lov with over the weekend).
oh shushhhh….you’re so whinnnnyyy…enough. go back to 18th century if you want to hear whatever is that you like…I feel sorry for people who live with you..Geez
What? Where did this come from? Sheesh.
I re-listened to them again last night and I think I agree with you on the “over-produced” comment. What I love about Adam is his voice – on AI it was amazing what he could do live and I think that is what I am missing with these songs. They have done WAY too much tinkering with his voice and the resluts (for me) make me feel like they are trying to hard to cover up what I think is his greatest asset as an artist – his voice. Maybe once I can hear the whole songs I’ll feel differently, but something tells me I will be longing for an “accoustic” set from him in the future.
One thing I noticed upon re-listens, the snippets are mostly the song choruses… which often tend to be bombastic and overproduced. Here’s hoping the verses get back to basics so we hear just his voice.
I think this CD seems fantastic. Maybe if you don’t try to make into what you want and just listen to it for what it is, you will enjoy it more. One thing is for sure. Over the next several albums – Adam will do a hundred different styles because he loves to surprise us and can do it all so damn well.
All I can say is WOW. Those little clips leave me wanting more. Listening to several of them, I was transported back to the 80s (in a good way). So many artists have tried to recapture this sound and have failed and I think this is the first time I have ever felt like I could time travel just by listening to his songs. Great job and I can’t wait to hear the rest.
I especially like “Aftermath” and “Whatta ya want from me”
I agree with the traveling back in time feeling. I definately am getting his “nod” to the past.
Sleepwalker, Soaked, Fever, Loaded Smile, Broken Open, and Strut are my favorites.
However,Aftermath and Whataya Want From Me were a little too generic.
I agree with you maybe about Strut (which I hope he never works with Kara G again) but Aftermath, not generic at all. I love that song. But hey to each their own.
I agree, Aftermath was in my top 3. I thought by the name, that Strut would be awesome but for me it’s just okay. Good beat, good vocals, nothing special; It’s my least favorite. Top 6 for me: Soaked, Sure Fire Winners, Aftermath, A Loaded Smile, Broken Open, Fever. Really like most of them.
It’s completely ridiculous to judge from 30 second snippets, but so far I’m loving the majority of the album, which is a surprise. There’s some great stuff in there. The only ones I’m not feeling right now are “Aftermath” and “If I Had You.”
I like Aftermath because it just makes me feel like a Def Leppard or Europe song. I just get that vibe and I like it. Makes me want big poodle hair.
LOL! And any song that does that is worth the listen
oh, and Music Again is way cool. Sounds like Queen.
Oh yeah, I totally forgot about Music Again. It’s got such a classic rock vibe to it. Powerhouse of a song.
Big poodle hair, i love it.
Yeah, If I Had You doesn’t do it for me either but that’s just because Techno Europop frightens me. I wonder what happened to Suburban Decay or Down the Rabbit’s Hole?
Down the Rabbit Hole is an itunes bonus track
What about Suburban Decay? I wanted to hear that one. Maybe for his second album?
I really think Adam has enough material for at least another album or two! I think much of this first album was picked as a marketing approach. It will give him more time to work on the many other great tracks that so many great writers/producers have contributed!
“prance-prance-revolution”–I think I love you.
And that song–I have to say, I’m extremely happy with these clips! I was so nervous about the AI blandizing machine, but this music sounds overall (apart from one or two songs) both good and interesting. Can’t wait to hear the rest of it.
Here’s hoping Adam, Kris, and Allison all do well.
Well lets say Allison does well.
All I can say is WOW! This album is gonna be amazing. Love what I have heard so far
“Strut!” and “Fever” just cuz Gaga wrote it (It sounds good though).
Strut was written by america’s favorite idol judge (sarcasm alert)…kara. not lady gaga.
believe he was only referring to Fever
Strut is a ton better than I expected from the ‘Kara’ song… I was worried she would try to force him to do another ‘No Boundaries.’ That song was soooo bad. Recorded version was a bit more bearable, but not much. It had cornballs galore.
BTW- Anyone liking these tracks should check out the band ‘Head Automatica.’ Some of these Lambert tracks remind me of them.
Adam co-wrote Strut.
I’m not loving any of these tracks, but as someone else stated, it’s difficult to judge just from 30 second snippets. I may change my mind after hearing the full version of all the songs.
Oh dear. This is horrendous.
If you don’t like it feel free to listen to another artist. We don’t mind one bit!
I agree. Sorry folks, this is terrible. Maybe after actually listening to the entire cd when it comes out I may change my mind, but as it stands now, I’m not expecting much.
I disagree with you but then the world would be boring if we all agreed. But to say this album is terrible baffles me…..
I only like a couple of the ballads but don’t like the rest of it. I really don’t care for the electronic sound. Just my opinion.
It’s so awful that I don’t even know that I’d consider buying it as a coaster out of Wal-mart’s $1.99 bin.
Oh my, the cover alone just made me by another copy of Kris Allen’s CD!
I’m a big fan of For Your Entertainment but some of this album sounds slightly over-produced. I’m really liking “Soaked” though. I love Muse and I think Adam’s voice really fits the song. I just wish the rest of the album was a little bit less electro-popish and more of the stuff Adam did on American Idol. Still looking forward to it, though! Adam had a bright future ahead of him and I wish him nothing but the best.
Without knowing which track is the one penned by Justin Hawkins of The Darkness, I could easily pinpoint “Music Again” as the one. It definitely has the same feel as the Darkness’ stuff. I thought “Strut” sounded pretty decent, but “Broken Open” sounds like a winner. I was disappointed by how “Fever” turned out. I listened to the demo that Lady Gaga put out and it sounded so amazing and made me excited for the song on Adam’s album, but it didn’t turn out well, IMO. The entire album is not my thing, so I might just purchase the individual songs I like. But of course, it’s definitely too early to tell, especially from snippets. So far, it’s just “Broken Open” that appeals to me.
Agreed about “Music Again” … Lambert’s crazy vocals and Justin Hawkins’ crazy lyrics are a perfect match. I kinda wish they did the entire album together. But I guess he needed some variety.
I will agree with you on that. I would have loved him doing alot with Justin and The Muse guy. Hell what is his name?
Haha It’s Matthew Bellamy.
Thanks Starr. I don’t know why I don’t know that, I love that group The Muse, you think I would know the name, but hell its like when you know something, but for some reason you get a brainfart? I know most of YOU know what I am talking about!
The band is called Muse, not The Muse. There is no ‘The’ in the band’s name
Thanks for that Bev, but like who cares?
Love it all. I really do.
I’d rather hear P!nk sing Whataya Want From Me instead of giving it to him.
Sounds good. A nice mix of newer pop/rock and classic rock sound. I really love the debut single “For Your Entertainment”.
GOOD, EXCELLENT, ADAM1 CONGRATULATIONS
