He has a younger brother, Neil. Lambert's family moved to California shortly after his birth and he was raised in Rancho Peñasquitos in northeastern San Diego. He attended Deer Canyon Elementary School, Mesa Verde Middle School, where he was a winner in the Airband competition (featuring Michael Jackson's "Thriller"), and Mount Carmel High School (MCHS), where he [10] was in theater, choir, and frequently performed vocals with the school's jazz band "MC Jazz". Some of his memorable MCHS performances included Frederic inThe Pirates of Penzanceand "It's Only a Paper Moon" with MC Jazz. [11] [12] [13] Lambert was raised in his mother's Jewish religion. He has performed in Hebrew at Jewish events, singing [11] [14] songs such as "Shir LaShalom" at a 2005 tribute concert to assassinated Israeli Prime Minister Yitzhak Rabin. Lambert attended Temple of the Arts in San Diego and has performed at the Kol Nidre service on the Jewish holiday [15] of Yom Kippur. Lambert also performed in Jewish-themedThe Ten Commandments: The Musicalas Joshua, [16] performing the song "Is Anybody Listening?"

Around age twelve, he was cast in a production of Fiddler on the Roofand continued performing throughout his teenage years includingHello, Dolly!,Chess,Camelot, The Music Man,Greaseand played Captain Hook inPeter Pan.

He was then cast in the European production ofHairand U.S. theater productions ofBrigadoonand110 in the Shade, before being cast in the role of Joshua inThe Ten Commandments: The Musicalat the Kodak Theatre [18] alongside Val Kilmer. Lambert was one of the few actors in the play that garnered a positive review. From [19] December 2006 to May 2007, Lambert briefly moonlighted as the front man for underground rock band The [20] Citizen Vein with Steve Sidelnyk, Tommy Victor and Monte Pittman. Lambert also met producer Malcolm [21] Welsford in 2005, who claims to have helped develop his recording career. Since 2004, he has regularly performed at the Upright Cabaret and the Zodiac Show, which was co-created by Carmit Bachar of the Pussycat Dolls. From 2005-2008 he performed in the ensemble, as well as understudy the role of Fiyero, in the national tour and Los [18] Angeles productions ofWicked.

American Idol Lambert auditioned for the eighth season ofAmerican Idolin San Francisco, California. In aRolling Stoneinterview he said his decision to audition for the show came after a week at Burning Man where he experimented with "certain funguses." He went on to say that "I had a psychedelic experience where I looked up at the clouds and went, 'Oh!' I [22] realized that we all have our own power, and that whatever I wanted to do, I had to make happen." During his initial audition, he sang "Rock With You" and "Bohemian Rhapsody." Lambert had cited several musical [23] [24] [25] influences, including Madonna, Queen, David Bowie, Michael Jackson, Aerosmith, and Led Zeppelin. In the semifinals, Lambert was voted into the Top 13, joining fellow Group 2 performers Allison Iraheta and Kris [26] Allen. Lambert and Allen became roommates in the Idol mansion, with Allen stating it was due to their neatness. During Michael Jackson week, he sang "Black or White" leading to praise from all four judges, with Paula Abdul [27] predicting that he would go on to the finals. The following week, Lambert sang a version of "Ring of Fire". While Randy Jackson, Kara DioGuardi, and Abdul all liked his performance, Simon Cowell called it "indulgent [28] rubbish". On Motown night, Lambert sang an acoustic version of The Miracles', "The Tracks of My Tears". The

judges all liked it, and Smokey Robinson, the week's mentor and the original singer-songwriter, gave Lambert a standing ovation. For his Top 8 performance, Lambert sang the 2001 Michael Andrews and Gary Jules arrangement of "Mad World". Because the show had exceeded its time slot, only Cowell gave a critique, which he did by simply giving Lambert a standing ovation. During the results next night, the other judges agreed that a standing ovation was [29] the best critique of Lambert's performance. For his second Top 7 performance, Lambert sang "If I Can't Have You", delivering what DioGuardi described as his "most memorable performance", while Cowell described his vocals as "immaculate". Abdul was reduced to tears, with host Ryan Seacrest joking that Lambert had melted her [30] into a "pool of Abdul". In the Top 4, Lambert was the first to sing, performing "Whole Lotta Love". Cowell commented, "that was one of my favorite performances...nobody can top that now", while Abdul, punning on the song's title, described Lambert's performance as "a whole lotta perfect".

Photos of Lambert romantically kissing another man surfaced while he was competing onAmerican Idol. Initially shown and discussed by commentators onThe O'Reilly Factor, the panel agreed that the images would likely have [31] no impact on the competition. Lambert confirmed that the photos were of him, stating he had nothing to hide and [32] has always been open about his life. Mainstream media speculation centered on Lambert's sexuality; presuming [33] [34] he was gay, he would be the first gay American Idol. Much of the media focus regarded the readiness of [33] American IdolAsked byvoters for an openly gay winner. Rolling Stonewhether the speculation surrounding his [35] sexual orientation impacted the final vote, Lambert laughed and said "probably". He confirmed that he was gay in [36] aRolling Stonecover story interview shortly after he was named theAmerican Idolrunner-up.

On June 19, 2009, Hi Fi Recordings and Wilshire Records revealed that they would be releasingOn With the Show, a [53] compilation of songs Lambert had recorded prior toAmerican IdolThewhile working as a session musician. [54] album's first single is "Want." Lambert later issued a statement through 19 Entertainment stating, "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

2009For Your Entertainment In May 2009Billboardmagazine confirmed his solo album was expected to be released in November 2009. Lambert stated that he would love to work with Slash, stating "When I was working with Slash I felt at home." He also stated [43] that his solo album would be eclectic, having a variety of sounds. Rock group Queen, with whom Lambert performed on the season finale, were at one point rumored to be considering asking Lambert to be their new [44] frontman. Lambert was a guest onLarry King Live(guest-hosted by Ryan Seacrest) along with Kris Allen, judge Paula Abdul, and the rest of the top ten finalists. In that appearance he stated that he planned to create a multi-genre [45] album, calling it a "rock-pop-electronic-dance thing". Lambert stuck to those intentions; the album he [46] subsequently released conformed highly to his description of the album he planned to make. [5] Adam Lambert worked with producers Greg Wells, Ryan Tedder, Max Martin, Sam Sparro, RedOne, Dr. Luke, [47] and Linda Perry, among others, in the run-up to the release of his debut album,For Your Entertainment. Aimee [48] Mayo stated on Twitter that she wrote at least two songs for Lambert, one co-written with Ryan Tedder and Chris Lindsey and, another with Ferras, the latter of which was not included for selection. Lady Gaga also reportedly wrote [49] a song that they spent some time recording. On October 28, 2009, Lambert announced via Twitter that his lead [50] single from his debut album would be "For Your Entertainment", a song that was produced by Dr. Luke. Lambert was recruited to record the soundtrack "Time for Miracles" for the disaster movie2012that was released on October 20, 2009 as a side project single. The song was lauded ahead of its release by Queen's guitarist, Brian May, [51] who described himself as being "completely blown away" upon hearing the track. The track "Time for Miracles" [52] also appears onFor Your Entertainment.

Lambert won two awards in 2009: the Young Hollywood Award for Artist of the Year and the Teen Choice Award [56] [57] for Reality/Variety Star. Lambert participated in the American Idols LIVE! Tour 2009 with his fellow Top 10 contestants; the tour visited 50 cities in the United States and Canada from July 5 to September 15, 2009. In November, Lambert performed "For Your Entertainment" at the American Music Awards of 2009. The performance showed Lambert kissing a male bassist, grinding a dancer's head against his pelvis, and grabbing the crotch of another. Lambert toldRolling Stonemagazine, "Female performers have been doing this for years—pushing the envelope about sexuality—and the minute a man does it, everybody freaks out. We're in 2009—it's time to take risks, be a little more brave, time to open people's eyes and if it offends them, then maybe I'm [58] not for them. My goal was not to piss people off, it was to promote freedom of expression and artistic freedom." [59] In response to his performance, the Parents Television Council, a conservative decency campaigning group, urged [60] viewers to complain to the FCC. The performance, at the end of the show, was broadcast "outside the FCC's usual [61] 6am-10pm time frame prohibiting the broadcast of indecent material". ABC received about 1,500 telephoned [62] [63] complaints and announced he would not perform on Good Morning America on November 25 as planned. [64] CBS subsequently invited Lambert to perform instead onThe Early Show, on the same date in New York City.

In February 2011 Lambert admitted on Entertainment Tonight Canada that he is dating someone, not mentioning his [70] name. Finnish tabloidIltasanomatcovered several stories about Lambert being seen with Finnish reality TV [71] personality Sauli Koskinen, who won the Finnish reality TV show Big Brother in 2007. In December 2010, [72] Iltasanomatspeculated the two had been together in Paris, since they were both there at the same time and, in an [73] interview to another newspaper, Adam Lambert told the vacation in Paris was "very romantic".
