Adam Lambert: 'Take your flaws in stride and nurture your talents'

Singer Adam Lambert, who is currently working as a judge on 'The X Factor', has revealed that producing the music video for 'Welcome To The Show' was a first for him, but something he felt compelled to do.

Speaking about the video, which you can see below, Wonderland magazine quotes him as saying:

"This is the first time I’ve produced my own music video. With the help of my friend and long- time collaborator Lee Cherry, we set out to co-direct something notably honest. I spoke with Laleh (the brilliant songwriter who is featured on the song) and we agreed on the vulnerability we wanted captured on screen."

"I think the more we as artists share ourselves openly, the more someone out there may feel inspired to do the same. I also felt a strong feeling of empowerment in creating this video independent of the label system. It was time to shoot this one on my own. This video isn’t about selling a song, or product placement, or racking up viral views. This is intended simply as a creative expression."

"What resulted on set came from a very free and organic headspace that allowed me to connect with the camera as if it were each person who’s supported me over the last 7 years. This video is a thank you to all of you who have lined up to see the Original High World Tour. To everyone who has listened and shared my songs and given me the purpose to keep moving forward. It’s a thank you to all of you who choose to accept and Love who YOU are! We hold each other up! I want you to keep celebrating exactly who you are, even if you don’t fit into the worlds ideas of what they think you should be."

Lambert added: "Take your flaws in stride, nurture your talents, take pride in your Queerness, and share all the love you have."
