Adam Lambert has spoken out in praise of Lady Gaga's new single 'Applause'.

The 'Born This Way' star unleashed the track on Monday (August 12) ahead of schedule due to leaked versions of the track being spread online.

It seems to have excited 'Trespassing' man Lambert, who tweeted:

"Mine are touching @ladygaga great single."

'Applause', however, seems to have been given a mixed reception by the general public, with @TalkdaTalk telling Pressparty on Twitter that it is a "waste of time".

@Stephen_Tilney meanwhile said: "Worse Than @CalvinHarris .... And that's Bad!"
