Adam Lambert Poses For His Album Photoshoot
Towleroad gives us our first look at Adam Lambert on the set of a photoshoot reportedly for his debut album. Wearing an outfit that leaves much to be desired, Glambert clearly pulled out all the stops to ensure that the artwork for his new album is überfabulous … behold:
Some set photos allegedly from the cover shoot for Adam Lambert’s album have leaked, including this one in which Lambert appears to be wearing a glittery Hefty bag and sporting a hair-do that takes its cues from Bob’s Big Boy. The cover is reportedly being shot by Warwick Saint and other elements of the shoot included Swarovski crystal eye pieces, lots of leather and spikes.
I dunno, y’all. I’m all for expressive fashion sense but I’m starting to think that Lambert might be going too far. Yes, he performed with KISS fairly successfully on the finale of American Idol but that doesn’t mean he has to start dressing like them to beat the moment into a bloody pulp. After all, let’s not forget that he lost the competition. As far as AI contestants go, I think he’s pretty talented … I’d hate for him to overplay his gimmick and then lose his shot at superstardom because he focused too much on the look rather than the sound. I’m afraid photoshoots like this might ensure that he become a laughable caricature rather than a serious musician.

Trent… What about GaGa? She mixes over-the-top fashion with extremely talented musicianship and performance art and makes it work… And she was a virtual nobody before she shot to fame in just under a year… So we’ll have to wait and see…

Hahaha!!! Who is guiding his career??? I get that he is supposed to be emo glam rock, but it seriously looks like he is filming a mockumentary.

I don’t know that she always makes it work. Recently wearing a full Kermit the frog outfit, and also a furry elephant on her head….I wouldn’t call that making it work. I’d call it her last ditch effort to call attention to herself. Just my 2¢.

@ Kaci. I agree. It doesn’t work with GaGa.

Awww. I love me some Adam Lambert but I can’t figure out WTF is going on here!

The kermit the frog ensemble was brilliant… She takes fashion very seriously… But at the same time she also pushes limits and doesn’t take herself too seriously. True artists who produce their own music, write it, write for others, and are good performers are those who will stand the test of time… What they are wearing is just self expression. Like Madonna with the stupid cone bra… and look where she is now…

He’s so pathetic and such a poser. This whole thing is a gimmick. He should be his true self and dress up in drag for his pics, seeing as there’s about a million pics of him showing he does nothing BUT go around in drag.

haha a comparison with “le Bonhomme Michelin”! lmao (I don’t know how you call it in English, sorry ^^)
Funny :D

@Jay – You think she’s brilliant..Others think she’s trying WAY too hard to come off as unique..I happen to be one of the others..I can’t stand that lame chick..

This is just for sh*ts and giggles to keep everyone talking. They aren’t going to release the “money shot”! Adam knows fashion and what is cool. Another element that was leaked was a fantastic black leather jacket with HUGE spikes – Where is that photo??

the selves remind me something from renaissance period mixed with today’s obsession with sequence.

id totally forgot about this guy!

We LOVE Adam…but aren’t too sure that we’d be thrilled to buy an album with the above picture on it. Sure, the music is the important thing…and Adam is definitely HOT HOT HOT. But that picture makes hm look a little silly. Just an opinion from a grandma.

ummm yeah – he looks like a cross between michelin man & a hershey kiss. I love him…think he’s way talented but… this is the best they can do for cover pic? YIKES!
August 18th, 2009 at 3:08 pm
ive always had a crush on the michelin man

I love him but i am not feeling the whole sparkly pillsbury dough boy look.
October 15th, 2009 at 10:24 am
think about it …. Cher, Madonna, Britney, Kiss, Michael Jackson,
they all entertain us in really unique flashy outfits and have been the most famous musicians in the world.
So embrace Adams flair for dressing in costume when he sings his heart out for you. Take a jump into fantasy land and enjoy it instead of being so critical.
Lighten up

I’ve been worried for some time now that Adam is going to go so “over the top” that he’s going to become a caricature…I’m scared for him because he is such a talented guy with a magnificent voice…BUT, he could definitely fu&^ it up with outrageous outfits…
