Adam Lambert - For Your Entertainment

About For Your Entertainment by Adam Lambert Album

For Your Entertainment is the debut album from American artist and American Idol season eight runner-up, Adam Lambert. It was released on November 23, 2009. Immediately following his participation on American Idol, Lambert began writing and recording with predominant pop hit makers such as Lady GaGa, Greg Wells, Max Martin, Linda Perry, RedOne, Ryan Tedder, Evan "Kidd" Bogart, Sam Sparro, Kara DioGuardi and P!nk. Lambert also announced through Twitter, that he had collaborated with American pop star, Lady Gaga. "Yes it's true: I spent yesterday in the studio w/ the insanely talented and creative Lady Gaga recording a song that she wrote! I love her." On October 28, Lambert announced that the lead single would be "For Your Entertainment" produced by Dr. Luke. He tweeted. "Debut single is called 'For Your Entertainment' get ready to shake yo asses to this song. It'll make ya dance for sure." He also confirmed a song called "Soaked" written by Matthew Bellamy of Muse and a song called "Music Again" written by Justin Hawkins. Lambert also stated that he co-wrote four of the songs on the album, "Strut", "Pick U Up", "Aftermath" and "Broken Open". Initial critical response to For Your Entertainment was generally favorable. At Metacritic, which assigns a normalized rating out of 100 to reviews from mainstream critics, the album has received an average score of 67, based on seven reviews. The Huffington Post called the album "An instant classic" and also stated that "As a whole, For Your Entertainment marks one of the most impressive mainstream pop album debuts in recent memory." The Detroit News said that "It goes without saying that "For Your Entertainment" is the most poised debut from any "Idol" to date. Lambert has a vision and has successfully honed a sound that pays homage to his heroes while carving a niche for himself." Spin said the album is "perhaps the strongest, most flavorful batch of tunes to reach an AI vet, and Lambert's polymorphous vocal skills unite dancefloor strut and hard-rock pomp in a convincing glam package." The Musictionary noted that "the first solo LP simply has to define who the artist wants to be. With For Your Entertainment, Adam does that and more, presenting a truly unique conglomeration of rock, pop, dance and glam; even the track sequencing can’t take away from that." Slant Magazine wrote that ""Music Again" and the awkwardly written "Strut" every bit as obnoxious as the songs from Mika's The Boy Who Knew Too Much" and that ""Music Again" apes its production and a good deal of its melody from Mika's "Touches You," while the title track and lead single is so similar to Sam Sparro's "Black and Gold" that 19 Entertainment should probably keep a strong legal team on retainer." Rolling Stone wrote that "The songs sound great but feel strangely stuffy — Entertainment seems like a disc that was overthought. Next time, the hugely talented Lambert should make sure he's going straight for the gut."

- Beautiful album and cover.

Need a clean version album. By the way Adam If I had you was the first song I heard thought it was Miley Cyrus. First heard it at Dance 💃🏻 camp in Summer ☀️ 2010 when my dance 💃🏻 instructor 👩🏼‍🏫 Victoria played it.

- Nice songs👍🏻

I like his music, at first I thought he was weird but his songs are good 😊. I appreciate his weirdness.It takes courage to be different.And if he wants to wear make up,Lambert go ahead!

- Wow😍

Adam in my opinion is so under appreciated he is more talented than any popular singer right now... He is a star, he slays and he's hot af I will always be apart of the glam nation💖 he has to go on a world tour! It's my dream to see him live great album Adam ILYSM!

- Awesome!

Love it's so catchy ! 😆✌

- Strut

It's funny I haven't actually heard "strut" in total, only snippets of it but it always gets stuck in my head even though I haven't listened to it in to sooooo long. It's nice to come back to these amazing songs....and actually hear the entire thing! Lol

- Adam Lambert

I love him. Always have since American Idol :) x

- Adam lambert for your entertainment

Highly under rated. I'm still listening to this cd! He's amazing!

- Woah

Woah, Adam Lambert changed so much O.o not saying he wasn't good before or after, but are they really the same person????

- Adam

I love Adam's music. Even if he is gay, he's an awesome singer and the best gay singer I've ever heard. Keep up the good work Adam

- Adam lambert

I LOVVE ADAM <3

- :)

Full of talent…

- I love you Adam

I just love you Adam and i'l give you 5 stars. Don't listen to what haters have to say you are you. Everybudy is different and peaple have to undrestand that. Stay who you are and don't change enven a tiny bit. LOVE YOU ADAM!!!!

- AdamLambert hater

Adam lambert is soooo ugly if there was a reward for the ugliest celebrity he would win.

- Complete awesome!

Will listen to Adam all day everyday :)

- Not too shabby

Adam's hit singles and other songs like Music Again or Fever are true masterpieces, when some of the other tracks are plain bland. It all depends on your taste of music, but for me, this album is definitely a keeper!

- Adam! You rock!

You rock Adam Lambert! I love the single "Whataya Want From Me". It was your best selling single ever.

- Amazaingly Talented!

I wasn't a fan of Adam's before I heard his album. I always thought he was an amazing singer, but I never thought I would love his album! Then my dad downloaded it one day, and I listened to it. I loved it! It was one of THE BEST albums I have ever heard, and its always playing on my iPod. In short, Adam, you didn't dissapoint! <333333333 GLAMNATION!

- Love love love him!!!!

Adam, U R my favorite singer of all time! I luv U!!!! B mine!! Ps I LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE your hair!!!!! You rock! Kiss kiss!! B mine!!!!! :3 Im in love.... Kiss me Adam!! IM IN BIG LOVE WITH YOU!!!!!! Kiss kiss good luck with everything you cutie you are a sure fire winner, THE sure fire winner!! I LUV you!!

- Five stars!!!

Adam is one of my favourite singers, regardless of his sexual orientation, he can hit a wide range of notes. It's become known as the 'Adam Lambert Scream', in my house! A must have album, totally!

- Awesome Music, Awesome Beat.

For your Entertainment and Fever are pretty good songs. Still getting to know more of his music. Its good I tell ya.

- Fun album!

Love this album! Who cares if it's a little bit cheesy here and there ("Strut") if you want to listen to a fun upbeat pop album, this is for you. Top picks are "Music Again", "Sure Fire Winners", "If I Had U", and "Aftermath". Most of the songs have been co-written by big names like lady gaga, the darkness, p!nk, rivers cuomo, the scissor sisters, ryan tedder, etc. Bottom line, this album is great!

- Disgusting

Honestly, why do people listen to such garbage. I can't believe this hasn't been assassinated yet.

- Crap!

This is nothing but fabricated, flash in the pan, forgettable crap. Go away American Idol and all your 2nd rate "talent". 5 years from now it will be Adam who?

- Luv it

Love Adam! And now also love his lookalike BROCK ZANROSSO. Check him out here on iTunes. He is a 16 yr old Canadian singer and could be Adam's little brother. Be cool to see them together one day!

- An impressive first album.

I have to admit that I knew nothing of Adam Lambert before his music hit the mainstream. I never watched one episode of "American Idol" in my life, so his talent was completely unknown to me. That being said, I did find myself enjoying his first two singles when I heard them on the radio. When I heard "If I had You" one summer morning while heading to work, I wanted to listen to more of his songs, and ended up buying his album. Mr. Lambert is an extremely talented signer to say the least. His voice is crystal clear and he can hit high (very high I might add) notes with ease and it never sounds like he's straining his voice. This album is pure pop, with some surprising ballads that evens everything out. I have to admit that I enjoy his faster tracks like "If I had You", "Whadtya Want from Me" and "Pick you Up" to his slower tracks like "Broken Open" but over all, he is an impressive artist and I look forward to hearing more from him.

- Favourite Artist of All Time

Love this guy! My faves are Whatya Want From Me , Master Plan and If I Had You . 

- The song (if I had you) makes the entire album

Can't stop dancing

- MALADEE !!

ADAM LAMBERT EST DÉBILE ET RESTERA TOUJOURS LE MEME PEUT IMPORTE LES MAUVAISES CRITIQUES, IL NE SE LAISSE PAS INFLUENCER ET JE CROIS QUE CEST UNE DES CHOSES QUE LON AIME CHEZ LUI; IL S'ASSUME. SON ALBUM EST JUSTE FOU TOUTE LES CHANSONS SONT BONNEES ET DIVERTISANTES COMME LE PRÉCISE LE TITRE FOR YOUR ENTERTAINING. :) ADAM CONTINUE COMME SA ET KEEP GOING YOUR OWN WAY, CAUSE YOU'RE DOING GREAT!

- Thrilling and Entertaining <3

Bone Chilling excitment! Easy to sing along and dance to. What can Adam do next?He's a master performer!

- Incredible voice

I don't care if he's gay, and besides it shouldn't matter. His voice is incredible and I love his music! :)

- Pretty good debut

I have mixed feelings about this album. Some songs I adore... Some I hate. Fever, dtrh, sfw are fantastic. But I loathe time for miracles. No matter. Guys a genius with the best freaking voice of his generation. Can't wait till his next album.

- He's here for our entertainment :)

À chaque fois que j'écoute cet album j'ai le goût de dancer ! Adam Lambert est talentueux et ce, même quand il chante "live" ce qui est quand même rare de nos jours Oui il est théâtral ... et alors ? Ça le rend encore meilleur :)

- Terrible

Terrrrible album! Don't waste your time on this man licker

- Stop the hate, listen to the songs

adam lambert is constantly criticized and mocked because of his flamboyancy and how sexually open he is. the real question though, shouldn't be: is he gay or not, it should be: does he make good music and the answer is yes. get over his sexual orientation and listen to the music. does it matter if he's gay? personally i think he could be a tree for all care but as long as he makes good music, he will be a consisten download for me

- Incredible Talent

Yes, Adam came from American Idol - but those of you who see that as a negative, please try to give him a chance. This guy's voice is truly a wonder, his range is wild and spine chilling at times... no, really. After watching him on the show two seasons ago, I can't seem to watch anymore - everyone else has paled in comparison. He never missed a note, was always on key, took chances with the arrangements and performed with unabashed style. A truly uninhibited, inspired singer. Way to go buddy, kudos. I'm actually glad my girlfriend dragged me (kicking and screaming) into watching American Idol years ago ... go figure. Personally, I found "For Your Entertainment" (the album) astonishingly good. As a whole, I imagine his eclectic taste is probably not for everyone. But due to the variety of styles he chose, there should be a song or two that even the most jaded can enjoy. As I write this, "If I Had You" is now rocketing up the charts - and there are still several more radio worthy tracks left to release! Considering his whirlwind ascension, it will be interesting to see what he can do when he finally has time to actually sit and focus on his second album. Amazing. Prediction: Adam Lambert - by charting his own course - could easily become a new age, more modern Elton John.

- Good

Solid debut; lots of great tracks. I don't care if he's gay, bi, tri, or making love to a bicycle. This is a great album.

- great song

If i had you is a great song and I love it!!!!!

- Glambert @ heart 4 ever

Wow! He's truly amazing, honestly he's got the moat beautiful voice and range I've ever heard! I <3 ur music & u !!!

- HOLY CRAP

Adam Lambert has truly one of the most powerful yet beautiful male voices I have ever heard. He is such a genious. This album is great. The songs have such meaning and they sent chills down my spine!!! I fell in love with Adam when I heard the the songs on here. I love him so much. He totally insipres me! I hope he will have more music in the future! I just cant get over it. Everyone should have their own say, but my opinion is this is wonderful.

- If I Had You

like Omg My Fav song and the most aawsome nice song Adam

- Awesome!

I think he's amazing. The songs are unique, and at first I wasn't a huge fan of a few of them but they grew on me. As for the album cover which everyone is obsessing over, I love it. It's art, perfection, and soul all together. Yes. He is gay. But that doesn't effect his music so get over it :)

- What the heck

How are these dumb people mocking him just because he's gay doesn't mean his music is I don't look at how he looks I hear how he sounds and that's talent who ever is mocking this guy I bet what u listen to is probably a lot more stupid why because they don't have talent they use so much computers they make NASA look cheap

- Jtaime Adam <3

Un chanteur exeptionnel avec un album exeptionnel !!!! Un album magnifique Ou tout les maurso sons fantastlique P.S. Adam Je Suis ta plus grande fan A VIE !! <3

- :)

Un album super qui donne le gout de dancer & de s'amuser ! :D Il est beau et il chante très bien ;)

- Awesome!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

This is like the best album ever. His singing is way better then most singers who just run thier voice through some auto tone. Who cares if he's gay it matters more on how he sings.

- UGH!

UGH! i hate adam lambert sooo much!

- Is that a guy... or a girl?

No SRSLY, I can't tell you who's in the artwork! That aside, this one person... who got second fiddle in that awful American Idol. All I can say is it's a good thing that show's getting lower ratings. - More emphasis on the vocals! - Stop singing about love! - Fix your spelling errors, bro/brah. - Oh, and nice artwork.

- good album

he's awsome!

- Great

Has really good voice doesn't need any voice changing programs.

- Not bad.....

Actually listen to the music homophobes
