Bowie's been a huge influence on me.
From Adam Lambert
So pretty much, to sum it up, if you can freak someone out and bring that kind of emotion out of somebody with a song, you're doing something right.
When I was kid, I remember playing 'Vogue' by Madonna over and over and over again. And ah, you know, something about the beat was really cool, and Madonna, visually, was on TV all the time and I thought she was just so beautiful.
I think Lady Gaga is great and is changing pop music and bringing back a certain rock 'n' roll spirit, swagger to the game.
Those shows I did with Queen were pretty surreal. I was really excited and super-flattered, but intimidated at the same time.
A lot of my male vocal influences are British - people like David Bowie, Freddie Mercury and Robert Plant.
There's not a blueprint for me to follow.
There are female artists I can look at that I find more in common with than the male artists, because they're blending the pop, dance and theatricality... but currently there aren't a lot of guys who go there.
'Come out' is so funny to me because I've never been in.
I don't feel closeted.
