ADAM LAMBERT TALKS ABOUT PERFORMING WITH CHRISTINA AGUILERA IN BROOKLYN [25:43]
FITZY
We've got to set this up. He went on Jimmy Fallon and the game is called that's my jam. You had to see. Do you know the muffin man to the tune of believe by Cher. Let's have a listen again.
WIPPA
Had you always done a good Cher impersonation, Adam Lambert?
ADAM
You know, I remember when that song came out. And I was in high school. And I remember that album was really fun. I just gotten my first car and I would blast it while I was driving on the highway. And I would sing along with Cher, so I kind of figured out how to imitate her.
FITZY
How did you go with Christina Aguilera, mate? Did you perform Lady Marmalade? Is that correct, in Brooklyn?
ADAM
Yeah, yeah, it was wild. I heard that she was going to be performing at gay pride in New York. And I was there that weekend, you know, my partner, and I were like, oh, we should go see Christina, that would be so much fun. And I, I had her number in my phone randomly. Because before the pandemic, there was a whole plan that I was supposed to go tour with Christina across the United States. So I had her number and I just went, you know what, I'm just gonna go out on a limb here and text her to say, hey, we're coming to your show. So excited. And 20 minutes later, she texted me back and was like, Oh, that's so sweet. And then, like, 10 minutes after that, she was like, why don't you come sing with me? And I was like, Oh…
FITZY
Awesome, that is great
ADAM
Yeah. And you know, I've been a Christina fan since she first hit the scene. We're like, the same age. I remember I saw her tour when I was like, 19, you know, so it's like, she's always been a favorite of mine. And I was very flattered, and sort of shocked that I was getting to hit the stage with Christina Aguilera. It was it was pretty surreal.
WIPPA
Does Adam Lambert ever get nervous anymore? I mean, you performing with other artists, you do so many different gigs, you know, be at royalty or presidential, whatever it might be. Do you ever get nervous?
ADAM
I got a little nervous before the Jubilee for Queen Elizabeth. That was like a big deal. There were like half a million or, like half a million people eyes. They were. Yeah. And it was being televised. And we were opening the show. And it wasn't my typical setup. You know, it wasn't in an arena or in a TV studio. We were outside. I was running around on a fountain. Yeah, so when it's like a bunch of variables that you're not really used to that kind of chemical. It was it was good nerves. It was it was I was excited. I was really excited to be there.
