Adam Lambert, an LGBTQ+ musician who rose to fame through reality TV, has managed to surpass the success of many of the winners of American Idol, despite finishing as a runner-up in the show’s 2009 series. Collaborating with renowned producers Max Martin and Ryan Tedder, Lambert’s initial solo releases showcased his talent for sharp electro-pop tracks like Whataya Want From Me? (originally performed by P!nk) and the impactful Ghost Town. However, it was his unexpected invitation to join Queen’s Brian May and Roger Taylor that truly astonished fans. Taking on the monumental task of filling Freddie Mercury’s shoes seemed nearly impossible, but Lambert’s commanding stage presence quickly won over skeptics, resulting in numerous successful international tours. In 2023, he unveiled High Drama, an album featuring cover versions including a haunting rendition of Duran Duran’s Ordinary World.
