Here’s what Adam Lambert had to say about the single “Want” a pre-Idol track which was leaked today:

“Back in 2005 when I was a struggling artist, I was hired as a studio singer to lend my vocals to tracks written by someone else. I was broke at the time and this was my chance to make a few bucks, so I jumped at the opportunity to record for my first time in a professional studio. The work I did back then in no way reflects the music I am currently in the studio working on. I’m thrilled to be working with some of today’s hottest songwriters and producers and can’t wait for people to hear what my music really sounds like.”

Looks like 19/RCA won’t stop this from being re-released! Reminds me of the “Angels in the Alleyway” situation with David Archuleta, when all sorts of pre-Idol tracks started coming out of the woodwork.
