Adam Lambert's 'Whataya Want From Me' Video: Watch A Sneak Peek! 'American Idol' star's full video premieres Friday on MTV and VH1!
With all the leather and glitter and controversial awards-show performances, it's sometimes easy to overlook the human side of "American Idol" star Adam Lambert.
He gets sad. He feels lonely. He is insecure. And all of those things are on display in the video for his new single, "Whataya Want From Me" (from his For Your Entertainment LP), which premieres on MTV and VH1 Friday. For proof, we offer you this sneak peek.
In the clip, we see Lambert stripped of his trappings, wandering around a sparse (yet tastefully minimal) apartment. There are no outlandish costumes, no creative eyeliner applications — just a guy feeling very much like an island unto himself, which is something Lambert probably feels from time to time. It's no secret that it's pretty lonely at the top.Which is why he looks so utterly honest when he sings the chorus of the song: He's literally asking the listener what they want from him. He's begging to know how much more he is expected to give. Lambert is a man who takes pride in being true to himself, yet, as the song — and video — seem to imply, being the center of that kind of attention is a double-edged sword, and comes with a big downside. If he edits himself, one portion of his fanbase will chastise him. If he goes all out, he draws the ire of the FCC. So, really, what does everyone want from him?
It's a pretty deep question — one we'll no doubt find the answer to when the "Whataya Want From Me" video premiers on Friday.

Lady Gaga Defends Adam Lambert from Homophobe
It’s not a secret anymore that Adam Lambert, the American Idol runner-up that got to have perhaps more fans than the official winner of season 8, is a fan of Lady Gaga’s, having even worked with her on a track from his debut album. According to ShowbizSpy, the feeling is mutual and there is virtually nothing the singer wouldn’t do to defend her friend, especially when attacked by a homophobe.
The report originates from the National Enquirer, which, some may say, is not exactly the most reliable of sources but that, nevertheless, has been known to break many a major story throughout the years. According to the tab, at one of her most recent concerts, Gaga was verbally pushed into a corner by a member of the audience for being friends with Lambert, who is very open about his orientation, which is also obvious in his music, some believe.
“I saw you and Adam Lambert on the AMA show, and the guy’s a flaming [expletive] – and I also think that you’re actually a MAN!” the person reportedly shouted in Gaga’s face. Not for even a second did the
This could have stopped here if the man did not insist on giving Gaga a piece of his mind by letting her know that, for their sins, both she and Adam Lambert would be going straight to hell, which is when the “Poker
However, the situation got completely out of hand when the man told Gaga both she and Adam were “freaks.” “Okay, that’s it!
