Adam Lambert pre-"Idol" album due this summer - Yahoo! News (http://news.yahoo.com/s/nm/20090620/music_nm/us_lambert_1 - broken link)

NEW YORK (Billboard) – Good news for Adam Lambert fans. But possibly not as good for the "American Idol" runner-up and his label bosses.
A small indie label will release Lambert's debut album this summer, months before Lambert's "official" debut on 19 Recordings/RCA Records is expected to reach stores.
Depending on who you believe, Lambert is either "blown away" by the material on the unofficial release, or is distancing himself from the project.
Entitled "On With The Show," the album was co-written and recorded by Lambert before his turn on the talent show. It will be released by Hi Fi Recordings/Wilshire Records.

It sounds to me like Adam is distancing himself from the project.
Clip:
Later, Lambert issued a statement through 19. "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," he said. "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."
I just listened to "Want" and liked it a lot. If Adam thinks the music from "On With The Show" isn't great then his "official" debut album is going to be incredible.
Thanks for sharing. I really like that. He will be a star. I wonder if they have to give him royalties from releasing that pre idol albumn? I didn't read the whole article
Good article. I read that Adam will be doing five songs. Allison said she and Adam will be doing (Slow Ride) may or not be included in the five. Danny Gokey will be doing four songs. Interesting, he points out he likes Kiss in this chat and apparently has changed his mind about divulging the name of his least favorite fellow idol. Like, we haven't figured that one out. LOL. I'm glad I got the live performance instead of the studio versions because this was the way Adam wanted to present the song - kind of improvisational or how he felt at that time.
