Last year’s American Idol runner-up Adam Lambert may have graced the cover of Rolling Stone magazine last Summer but he is featured on the cover and in the pages of the Japanese version of the mag this year. Here is our first look at Glambert on the cover of the NEW issue of Rolling Stone Japan:

Between the two issues, I think I prefer this cover of RS to the one we saw last year. After the jump, check out some photos from the accompanying photoshoot which, if you can believe it, aren’t all that dramatic …

I honestly expected Lambert‘s shoot for RS Japan to be really out there. Considering his penchant for dressing wacky, I’m pleasantly surprised to see him look … normal. I generally prefer substance over style so this is a nice change of pace, I think. See, an artist can push the boundaries of convention without feeling that they have to do so all the time.

love him! he was so god on american idol last night – gave great advice to the contestants!
ooops! freudian slip! LOL…not “god” but good! just really really good!
Not a fan of this whole look! His face looks really, really weird. He almost looks like a young Joan Crawford. Too much makeup as well. Oh well – he still has awesome hair.
yeah, but his poses are still over the top! it’s better if he just wear COSPLAY and go all krazy!
i dont get it, he seems like neither here nor there, stuck in between, but HEY! dont we gays all do?
I think these pictures are terrible…His cover shot is the worst; he looks cross eyed >>
