Adam Lambert’s “For Your Entertainment” debuted on Ryan Seacrest Radio this morning. What do you guys think?

Does it sound like Black & Gold by Sam Sparro?

Reminds me of the song by Sam Sparro that came out last year Black and Gold.

The glittery alien from Planet Fierce has arrived ! well, that song otta shake loose the last of the AI fans waiting for adam to sing something sweet and pretty. the ticket buying line for his concerts just got way younger !

such a smart move on adam and his record label!
its such a mainstream sound that all the radio stations are going to be playing it all the time!
after this single, I predict a more 80s rock/electro single. maybe the one that had help from justin hawkins? (she asks hopefully)
brilliant move!
and GREAT SONG
and he added his rock screams! LOVE
repeating song… now on listen #31

Total top 40. It is catchy, but is overproduced.

@ohyeah that’s exactly what I thought!!! I didn’t like it at all. If he had sang this song on the show (AI), he would’ve been sent home a while ago… too much buzz for nothing

electro funk?

HAHAHAHA this is so unoriginal.

Wow, this song is in-your-face sexy! At first, I was a bit disappointed that it didn’t highlight Adam’s wonderful voice more but after a second listen, it suits Adam just fine although it is overproduced (as is much of what’s on the radio these days). I can’t wait to see this performed on the AMAs because as we all know, Adam breathes life into his performances. This type of music isn’t normally my thing but this is tres catchy and I think it’ll work nicely on radio. I’ve gotta say it’s been while since I’ve liked the electronic elements of a song so much. Adam has stated that the album has an ecclectic mix of songs that should appeal to everybody. I’m hoping that proves true. I’m especially looking forward to the Muse song.

I also wanted to add that I listened to the Sam Sparro song on youtube (had never heard of him before). What a cool song! I didn’t find it similar to Adam’s at all, however. The vibe was completely different, jazzier. Adam’s is more Britney-esque but with a tad more funk.

Elena on October 30, 2009 at 12:56 pm

Ok, it’s fun and listenable, but who is singing this song? Doesn’t sound one bit like Adam. If I heard it on the radio, I wouldn’t have any idea who it is. Weird. Usually his voice is so identfiable. Maybe because it is in a lower range than he usually sings. At least with Time for Miracles, it sounds like Adam. Anyhow, catchy song. Question for Rickey: your poll only has 2 choices? What about everything in between “Love it” and “Ew”?

LikeHim on October 30, 2009 at 12:56 pm

Catchy, but not my cuppa. Agree with all the overproduction comments. I had to strain to really hear Adam in the mix.

lotus on October 30, 2009 at 12:57 pm

I love it!! It’s fun and catchy. It’s the type of song you listen to in your car first thing in the morning and you’re ready to go! It makes my day. I love it!

Andressa on October 30, 2009 at 1:01 pm

It’s a great first single. Very catchy. It may not showcase his beautiful voice as much as we would like, but I am sure the rest of the album will. I’ve listened to it about 5 times already, and it gets better and better. I hope ITunes has it soon.

Merle on October 30, 2009 at 1:04 pm

it’s nice but it will be forgotten in one year. i don’t find adam in this song

tztza on October 30, 2009 at 1:08 pm

Eh, not bad. Not great, but better than “Live Like We’re Dying.”

Ted on October 30, 2009 at 1:15 pm

Sadly, entering the mainstream charts means to compromise originality, especially if it’s an artist’s first single.

Sky on October 30, 2009 at 1:17 pm

LMAO Listen to the lyrics and the message then find another singer genre and radio station. Adam is not “The Tracks of My Tears” never was never will be only on Idol one week when he had to be. HA What part of POP don’t you freaking understand you control freaks?

sam on October 30, 2009 at 1:34 pm

Looks like Kris Allen fans are leaving negative remarks; no surprise there.

I LOVED IT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Adam can do no wrong!!!!!!!!!!!

Elizabeth on October 30, 2009 at 1:35 pm

I’m so glad Adam Lambert is FAR away from Idoltarding boorish nobodies. GO ADAM YOU’RE THE NEW VOICE.

MELISSA on October 30, 2009 at 1:36 pm
21

in terms of the cover, how lady gaga of him. but i will say that the cover is far better than what is floating out there right now! And it does sound a lot like sam sparro black and gold.

ah on October 30, 2009 at 1:36 pm
22

LOVE THE SONG! You can’t deny that this song has potential to be a hit.

Now all it needs is an amazing performance on the AMA’s =]

@Oppie I think Sam Sparro worked on this song somehow…I don’t know I do know though that he did work with Adam on the album. I love the song Black & Gold.

Perez commented on how it sounded like B&G on his site, I can see the slight resemblance but it in no way is the beat & the concept of the song the same as Black & Gold.

I don’t know if this song has staying power. Not saying it doesn’t but I’m not saying it does either. I think the song came at a pretty good time, which is a huge advantage.

Now about sales…

This is a radio friendly song, & no doubt does it have potential, I’m worried about staying power. The song def has more staying more than LLWD though, if you’re going to compare the two.

melissa on October 30, 2009 at 1:43 pm
23

this is what all the hype was for? please tell me they’re kidding. it’s bland!!!! it’s not catchy dearies, face it. catchy is when you have a hook. this one doesn’t. it sounds like a track off an 80s movie soundtrack that they play at the end credits. forgettable. you wanna bet?

henry on October 30, 2009 at 2:01 pm
24

I’m an Adam fan, but I didn’t care for this song. It sounded part Britney Spears, part Jamie Foxx and part Cheeks (Adam’s ex). I hope his album is not all electro-pop. You really couldn’t even tell it was his voice. Not my cup of tea.

skd on October 30, 2009 at 2:02 pm
25

Yo ted, live like we were dying is actually a good song, not nearly as generic as this song XD

rachel9isfine on October 30, 2009 at 2:04 pm

the song is pretty gay

The World on October 30, 2009 at 2:09 pm

I don’t really like the song. Too poppy synthesized kinda sound for my taste, but I hope it gets popular. Would love it if Adam made it HUGE.

Shollia on October 30, 2009 at 2:10 pm

LUV, LUV LUV YOUR SONG ADAM. You are No. 1
Can’t wait for the cd.

jan clark on October 30, 2009 at 2:18 pm

Love the cover! You need more choices in your poll like “It’s OK” or “Don’t love or hate it!”

DonMI on October 30, 2009 at 2:20 pm
30

I like it. Catchy song, great tune. I’m sure it will do really well. Too bad Live Like Your Dying tanked like it did. Wow did that song bomb!! I’m sure this one will do much better.

Carl on October 30, 2009 at 2:20 pm
31

Can someone please tell me how this musical God lost to Kris “I have no talent” Allen? Jesus H. Christ in a handbasket…this song is amazeballs and it absolutely blows Allen’s lame ass track out of the wa-wa. I’m calling it right now…Lambie will be #1 two weeks in a rown on the charts and Kris Allen won’t even crack the top 5 in his first week! A year from now…Kris Allen will be playing alongside Taylor Hicks at county fairs in Omaha and Kentucky while Lambie is becoming the new Kelly Clarkson/Carrie Underwod!

Skippy on October 30, 2009 at 2:29 pm

love the song!!! but where is Adam?? this does not even sound like him…. Adam??? hello
Having said that – Bet it will be amazing on the stage though. I will miss the other Adam though.

JUDE on October 30, 2009 at 2:34 pm

Love it! It really grows on me…It will be a Hit!

Monica on October 30, 2009 at 2:55 pm

I personally LOVE IT!!!!!! yes, I love his very mysterious and subtle side too, but I love this alot.

Skippy I LOVE YOU FOR THOSE WORDS, sooooooooo true! )))

Vix on October 30, 2009 at 3:12 pm

Adam is a genius. He’s gonna play the industry like he did while on AI. Gonna keep going from one mood to another for the audience. First the TFM ballad (LOVED his voice on that) and then this catchy dance song that’s gonna do rather well on the radio and in the clubs, can you even imagine the remixes that will come from this? Although not my favorite Adam genre, I love that he picked to sing in a lower range and boy can he sing! Yea, although a pop/dance song at least he sings it unbelievable not like the other pop singers these days. That’s what differentiates him, he can sing the pants off any genre, capture different moods and entertain us ALWAYS.
Love this man, what a genius!

JS on October 30, 2009 at 3:26 pm

He’s going to blow the roof off the AMA’s with this song. It’s just begging for dancers and an OTT performance which we all know he’s capable of.

Excellent choice for a 1st single. Sometimes I think people are thinking of themselves and what THEY want to hear from Adam and not what ADAM wants to hear from himself. Listen to his pre-Idol stuff….this is what he likes. He’s promised multi-genre material on his album, so he’s going to have something for everyone, but this is a genre that he really likes….electro, pop, dance. As for not sounding like Adam…listen to some of his pre-Idol stuff on youtube. This is his lower register that most aren’t familiar with. Of course it has the “produced” sound; that’s what pop music is right now. The lyrics couldn’t be more perfect for him. How many times have we heard him say “I just want to entertain you” in the past year? Say what you want about him, he stays true to himself and it’s refreshing.

As for the Kris comparisons…let’s just let it go. Idol is over.

Terri on October 30, 2009 at 3:27 pm

WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
HOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

love it love it love it love it.
more each time I listen and Terri is right – seeing him do this on the AMA’s is going to be EPIC. When are the AMAs??

JUDE on October 30, 2009 at 4:09 pm
39

I love this Song! If you listen to his Pre-Idol-Songs like Glamorize and Kiss and Tell, you will know, that FYE IS Adam! Can´t wait for his Album!

that beating line is little annoying.

for the most part, I think this an alright pop song that has average production value.

Andrew on October 30, 2009 at 4:33 pm
41

I love Adam, although I prefer rock, this is growing on me after listening 10 times I like it but I dont love it. The music in it reminds me of I Came To Party by Cinema Bizarre.

AnotherGlambert on October 30, 2009 at 4:36 pm
42

@Shollia — agree, too pop/synthesized. It barely sounds like Adam’s voice that we loved on AI. I understand why Brittany has to synthesize her voice – cause it’s crap, but Adam shouldn’t have to stoop to that. Plus — as an older listener (not a prude) I don’t care for the song’s smutty-ness. Yeah, yeah it’s all in the interpretation, but we get it. Sorry but Kris and Live Like You’re Dying is more authentic-it actually sounds like his soulful sexy self. Too bad it’s not getting the hype. Here in the Detroit market the stations are playing stupid Owl City-Fireflies more than Kris.

Marianne Harms on October 30, 2009 at 4:45 pm

Love it and it’s nothing like Black and Gold – the beat is similar but the song and its execution is completely different.

SCat on October 30, 2009 at 5:11 pm

that’s so 80s disco. NExt!!!!

keith on October 30, 2009 at 5:56 pm
45

This is really overproduced and definitely not what i expected from Adam. I’m not a fan of his but I am surprised that this is the style he has chosen. Didn’t Kara declare him a “rock god”? I will not be buying this song anytime soon.

Rayanna on October 30, 2009 at 5:57 pm

he sounds like robbie williams

Melanie on October 30, 2009 at 6:06 pm

Just the line “ring the alarm” – the way
he sings it – thud

I love this song! It could not be any better! It is perfect! Adam is perfection! I cannot wait to go to a club and dance myself silly to this wonderful perfect Adam tune!! Ahhhhhhh! LOVE IT SO MUCH!!!!!!!11

YOU ARE JUST A DESERTED ISLAND! YOU CAN’T BEAT ADAM FANS!

@KEITH: JEALOUSY MUCH! TROLLING AT ADAM’S ARTICLE MAKE ME THINK YOU’RE JUST A 9 YEAR OLD FEEDING BOTTLE SUCKER! GO TO YOUR MOMMA’S TITS!

rayanna see that’s the problem Adam has NO STYLE he is ALL STYLES. Just like the other idols roflmao

MELISSA on October 30, 2009 at 9:21 pm

Well it’s not Freddie Mercury, but it is the type of Pop music that gets a lot of radio play. Not my type of music.

@Maaian:

Was Kris Allen ever IN the way??

Gaia on October 30, 2009 at 9:47 pm

@Jude: Adam called he said:

baby don’t be afraid
I’ma hur ‘cha real good baby
lets go, its my show,
baby do what I say
don’t trip, off the glitz
that I’m gonna display
I told ya, I’ma hold ya down
until your amazed
give it to ya, ’til your screaming my name

hur'chagood on October 30, 2009 at 10:20 pm

I guess my Allison was the only true rocker on the show.

Lu on October 30, 2009 at 10:22 pm
57

This will blow up the AMAs. The downloaded track sounds totally Adamish. Better than the earlier one today. I like, teenager likes, old school hub likes. Bring the video on!

MAdamrocks on October 30, 2009 at 11:50 pm

I thought I was listening to Britney Spears. I really don’t know if I like it. Is that okay?

Anne on October 30, 2009 at 11:52 pm

my first listen was like “meh” but then i tried listening to the lyrics and it won me over. but i want to hear adam wailing on the chorus!

pav on October 31, 2009 at 1:13 am

Freakin’ love it!! Just listened to B&G 3 times back2back. There’s really no comparison –beginning pulsating beats maybe for a few seconds but there is so much more bombast in Adam’s. Sparro’s is definitely jazzier as someone else mentioned. Sooooo happy for Adam, this was definitely worth the wait!!! Now on to the AMA performance, wowwww that’ll be hot…

mandabutter on October 31, 2009 at 1:34 am
61

I loved it! Adam is AMAZING! The haters are just dying and cannot stand the fact that the song is the bomb and we are all dancing to it. For every hateful post you know that Adam has done something right~! You go with your bad self!

PhDude on October 31, 2009 at 2:26 am
62

I LLLOVE IT!! cant wait to see him sing & dance to the AMA’s!!! Even if it sounds like sparro’s, it wasnt lifted on some bands previous album.

AND adam never said he wanted to be rockstar after idol.. this is the genre he wanted to pursue, ELECTROPOP..
allison can be the rocker girl, kris can be the crooner but adam… can DO ALL OF THE ABOVE!!!

ria on October 31, 2009 at 2:52 am

Actually I don’t really7 like Adam Lambert, but I like this song.

Both FYE and B&G have a driving beat but don’t sound alike, B&G is better. I’m an Adam fan but I don’t like what they’ve done to his beautiful voice.

rhonda on October 31, 2009 at 3:17 am

first listen this song feel that it’s not my cup of tea.but listen a few times.I get it.love it.bravo.haha…always found different part of lyric I love .

i hated him on american idol but i love this song….its stuck in my head dammit

gerry on October 31, 2009 at 3:43 am
67

I’m not surprised. The song is undeniably catchy and melodic. The song is written and produced by certified hit makers. What can you expect? My only problem is it sounded a lot like “Keeps Getting Better” by Christina. But isn’t all pop/dance songs in the Top40 now sounded the same? I just hope Adam will identify his own music with the other songs in his album.

vince on October 31, 2009 at 7:47 am
68

I love his voice but this track seems to cover it up a bit, sigh. I have a dance background–love that but his voice is what caught the attention of millions and it’s beneath the electro-pop-beat here.

I really love the picture you posted and THAT should have been his CD cover! That is more him than the glam-shopped photo. Boy, that is a missed opportunity.

Let’s hope there are more full-out clear vocals on this CD. I’d go mad if I had to listen to his voice buried under the music. He is the music because his voice is a finely tuned instrument which needs no cover-up, it’s flawless.

Kate on October 31, 2009 at 8:13 am
69

It doesn’t sound like Adam’s voice. I have always said that Adam is an Entertainer and without the visuals you can hear his blandness except when he wails on a chorus. That’s the fundamental difference between Adam and Kris.

wayno10 on October 31, 2009 at 8:20 am
70

I said it for TFM, i’ll say it for this 1. He sounds like a high pitched Richard Marx. Except ofcourse when he started singing with the british accent for a couple versus. LOL w/e that was about. His voice never reminded me of Marx on show, so they must be doin some wierd autotune crap to him.

Only the super delusional fans thought he was a rocker, anyone that simply payed attention(not KARA) knew otherwise.

This is exactly what i expected from him, cept i figured it wouldnt be so bad. I assumed he would be a live singer unlike Spears, but with all the computer in his voice i dunno if he can. It certainly wont look natural.

YAWNNN on October 31, 2009 at 9:13 am
71

I think it SUCKS! I expected something much better! Adam has a great voice – why did he ruin it with this crappy electronic stuff? Yuck!

cacatua on October 31, 2009 at 10:14 am
72

I just heard it on WPLJ … a major NYC radio station. The DJs were all gushing over it. It’s going to be a smash hit. Go Adam.

Kristen on October 31, 2009 at 10:42 am
73

I suppose in the Idol bubble this is glam rock and edgy and innovative…and whatever other adjective happens to be hip at the moment. Go on living in your bubble Adam.

Mia on October 31, 2009 at 11:18 am
74

An absolutely great song – sexy and irresistible – Lambert sings the heck out of it. And, folks, this is what he likes to do. If you don’t know that, you haven’t been paying attention to what the guy has said. No surprise here – hope it makes it to the top. This super guy deserves it in every way.

Lee on October 31, 2009 at 1:22 pm
75

I thought he was supposed to be bigger and greater than The Beatles, JM, Prince, Bowie, The Stones and practically the second coming of Christ himself. I’m not hearing it here, at all. What I’m hearing is a generic watered down version of something you’d hear in any club in America. I don’t hear one ounce of original in it. This is what everyone said would change the face of music as we know it? I’m sorry people, but I’ve heard this song a thousand times before, and it’s no better than any of them. Yawn. Allison is the only rocker in that bunch, and she’s only what, 16, 17? I think she and Kris will have the longest lasting careers out of anyone in season 8. And what’s with THAT cover? Is he copying from Lady Gaga, Britney Spears and Christina Aguilera? Sorry, I don’t get what the big deal with this guy is. Now, bring it on, Adam fans. God forbid anyone other than you fans have an opinion.

Melissa on October 31, 2009 at 1:39 pm
76

My country lovin’, non dancin’ husband just heard me playing this for his first time and he danced across the living room on his way to the kitchen. Was it pretty? Nope. Was is cute? Hell yes.

He would be the last electro pop Adam fan to EVER jump on the Adam wagon and his comment when it was done playing? “I have to give him props on that; it’s catchy as hell and you can’t help but shake your ass to it.”

It’s a fun track and totally screams for you to dance which is what Adam has said he wants to do for us all along. The album looks to have such a wide variety which is so intelligent of him. That GaGa song..Fever…has such a retro TRex sound to me. Can’t wait to see what he does with that.

BTW…no problem Melissa…you’re entitled to your opinion. By trying to start something with Adam fans though (your last two sentences), aren’t you just as bad? State your opinion…you’re surely entitled. No artist can please everyone. It’s all good.

Terri on October 31, 2009 at 2:32 pm
77

I endorse the comment above! I love how Meliisa makes negative comments about Adam and not liking him but she keeps adding comments here everyday xD hehe, she just can’t get over Adam :* :*

Vix on October 31, 2009 at 3:06 pm
78

Someone said earlier that they think Allison and Kris will have longer careers than Adam.

BWHAHAHAAHAHHAHAHHAAHAHAHAAHAHA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

COme on guys, it’s one thing to be a fan of those other two, but it’s an entirely different thing to be so biased that you can’t even tell what’s reality and what’s fantasy anymore.

Face it, Adam is hot and he’s marketable…the other two are gonna be the second coming of Taylor Hicks! Wanna see some unbiased critiques from an Adam fan? Here ya go:

Time For Miracles = EPIC PIECE OF SHIT, HATED IT!

For Your Entertainment = THIS HAS #1 HIT WRITTEN ALL OVER IT, LOVE IT!

There? You See? I can hate on my boy and love him all at the same time, it’s because I’m an ADULT and I’m unbiased…you kiddies and teeny boppers should try it sometime! Because once you get back to reality you’ll realize that Kris is marginally talented and boring…his “career” is already over and it hasn’t even really begun yet.

Jesus Christ, why am I fighting with 13 year old girls on the internet?

Sincerely,

A 28 year old straight male who has a degree in music theatre and has been a singer his entire life. (Also known as: someone who knows what real talent looks and sounds like)

Skippy on October 31, 2009 at 3:39 pm

Thanks Skippy, valued opinions. I sincerely wish the best for Kris and Allison but I don’t really see their stuff going anywhere….and it hurts me to say that about Allison cuz she can sing her ass off!!! She really deserves the opportunity, but who knows -the 2nd single could knock it out of the park. I’m not sure if “Friday” will rise on radio like it could.

For the record, love Adam’s song!! I’m okay with anybody else who hates it. Dirt off my shoulders, i know I’m a fan & someone else’s review isn’t going to keep me from buying the album. There is plenty of popular and critically acclaimed music out there that I think is junk!!

mandabutter on October 31, 2009 at 5:35 pm

Melissa:

Why the Adam-focused jealousy? What does he do that makes you feel so insecure? He is current and he is hot and he is here to stay, girl!! Get used to it!

L-O-V-E the song Adam! You rock!!

Chas on October 31, 2009 at 7:54 pm
81

Wow. The haters are out in full force. Not that I’m surprised….

It is one of those songs that grows on you after a couple of listens. I didn’t care for it the first time I heard it, but it grew on me quickly the next time I played it. Now I can’t stop listening and grooving to it! Much like Lady GaGa’s songs for me. I predict it will be a hit! Adam is going to bring the house down with that song at the AMA’s! And I bet Time For Miracles will jump up in sales again when 2012 comes out in theaters.

Darcy on October 31, 2009 at 8:45 pm
82

Skippy, you sound like an ass with an overinflated idea of yourself. I’m 59 years old and was led to believe that Adam’s album would have a strong Queen influence from what I heard and read. If I had anything from Queen that sounded as bad as this I would use it for target practice. There had better be something that sounds one helluva lot better than FYE on this thing. Freddie Mercury is still the best that ever was!

cacatua on October 31, 2009 at 8:49 pm
83

I am one of Adam’s biggest fans, but I find this song a bit of a let down, mostly because of the overprocessing of his voice. I’m hardly representative of the public that will decide the success or failure of this, and I hope it succeeds wildly. I just also hope that in the rest of the tracks we get more of the real, pure Adam voice that we’ve all fallen in love with. Regardless, I will be purchasing the album not only for myself but copies for friends as well. It’ll take a hell of a lot more than some overprodcution and overprocessing to turn off my Adam fandom.

AndyInLondon on October 31, 2009 at 8:49 pm
84

smart move capitalizing on his shriek. i’m 50-50 on the single but i think radio would transform it into a hit.

ty on November 1, 2009 at 6:59 am

i adore it! its very him, and something that reflects him as an artist,rather than just an idol puppet. I CANT STOP LISTENING TO IT!!!!
thank God he didnt do a cover ( unlike some other idol) and this shows real creativity! I Love u adam!

Bwahaha! Funniest comment on here! What exactly is the fundamental difference?

I FLove the single, can’t get out out of my head! Wake up in the morning wanting to hear it again. Well done Adam.

Not likin’ it so much yet. I’ll have to give it a few more listens. I like the last part best where he adds some high notes.

I have to agree… I think just because it’s Adam, people are unwilling to say something is not good. I just don’t think this is great. It’s not bad… I mean, it’s fun. But I think it’s unoriginal, overproduced, and predictable stuff in what comes out of Hollywood anymore.

Sorry guys, but I honestly thought some of Kris’s songs were better than this… “Written All Over My Face” sounds great!

I’m a huge fan of both Kris Allen and Adam Lambert (Adam Lambert was my favorite in concert)… but I have to admit, I liked Kris’s “Live Like We’re Dying” better than this.

Yep sounds just like the Sparro song except for a different chord progression, Adam modulates and changes the melody in the chorus while Sparro doesnt at all, Adam over dubs harmony vocals in the chorus and bridge, Bridges are completely different, and Sparro pulls way down in the last verse and Adam doesnt. Oh and Sparro’s lyrics are veiled spirituality and Adams are partially veiled sexuality. So really the only thing they have in common is the faux ring modulator bass line which are at very different tempos and levels in the mix. On this criteria
100s of techno pop songs are the same song.

i must admit initially i did not like it very much. i thought the song did do adam justice and did not fortray his powerful voice but after listening over and over again, i realized it is not bad at all. i guess it will be a smash hit.

it’s really cool! just bought it yesterday! awkward cover (sorry!) but great songs! i like ‘fever’, ‘aftermath’, ‘timeless miracles’ and ‘if i had you’. the cd guy offered kris allen’s album as well but i chose adam’s. i kinda expected it to be more ‘rock’, but this is cool too!
