I just wanted to hold you in my arms

On the one hand, I'm thrilled that Adam Lambert is getting to work with a plethora of big-name songwriters; I hope that adds up to top-quality material, a to-die-for mix of pop, electro, dance, and rock that still feels like Adam and no one else. On the other hand...



I hope his debut album has time for a song like his cover of Muse's "Starlight." At the risk of sounding too pretentious, there's a clarity and beauty to it--a magic to it, as there is a magic to the original track--that his debut album (due out November 24) would do well to remember.

I'm so impatiently waiting for this album, rumoured list of authors is really impressive - Max Martin, RedOne...

By the way just have found one interesting new project "Oposite Turn", if you're interested I think "Someone Not Me" is big future hit :)

Damian, where on EARTH did that Darin song come from?! Thanks for the tip...and no, you could never be Mr. Annoying; I should be thanking you for all this information! I love the new Sugababes single (thankfully!) and was going back and forth on whether to buy that new Ola single--thanks so much for uploading it on YouTube to listen to! Goodness knows how I found/got them, but I somehow have the two older songs on Opposite Turn's MySpace, but I hadn't heard that new one, and it sure sounds like their best thing yet!

How funny. I've been hearing Muse's "Starlight" on the radio for months and never realized that's who sang it.

Adam's cover is pretty, but he needs a new haircut.
