Adam Lambert Promises 'Less Campy, More Primal' New Album; Talks Lady Gaga, 'Idol' Performance

4:00 AM PST 3/11/2011 by Shirley Halperin

Making a return visit to the 'American Idol' stage, the season 8 runner-up also addresses those James Durbin comparisons and who else he's rooting for on this year's show.

Adam Lambert made his American Idol return on Thursday with several purposes: to promote his latest anthem, “Aftermath,” recently released as a dance remix; to help the Trevor Project, which provides a life-line to LGBTQ kids (part of the proceeds from download sales of “Aftermath” will benefit the organization), and to remind the Idol viewers -- and no doubt the Season 10 finalists (now numbering 12) -- what it takes to make it on that stage and in the pop world.
