The 'Better Than I Know Myself' powerhouse has built an incredible career for himself since leaving the televised competition and has now spoken out about his support for the stars from the current series:

"Jessica Sanchez better sing. Jeeeeeez. That first run was nuts. #futurepopmegastar. Gotta say, ALL these kids are dope this year. Love all the young musicians onstage too. Great energy."

Following 16-year-old Sanchez's (pictured above) performance on last night's episode of American Idol, Lambert added "Sanchez!!! Holy f**k daaaaaaaym" and then tweeted a public message to her that simply read, "werk!".
