Adam Lambert on fame: "It's interesting to be objectified, I'll tell you that"

'Trespassing' superstar Adam Lambert is currently on tour in Asia and sat down with Yahoo! Singapore recently to answer some questions about his stage show, fame and being idolised.

He has just finished performing in Hong Kong and will play tonight (March 8) in Singapore at The Star Theatre, and when asked if he has any pre-show rituals he joked that there's nothing too crazy: "Nothing too weird, I don't sacrifice any baby goats. I usually drink some tea, it's a lot more vegetarian, my ritual. I do some warm-ups, exercise and that's about it."

Last year, Lambert drummed up some controversy after criticising the cast of Les Misérables for their live singing on film, but he explained that as a celebrity it's difficult to voice your true opinion because you just get bad press and shot down for it:

"I think that one of the things about being a pop artiste in today's world is that the minute you have a contrary opinion people really get personally offended. I don't mean it to be offensive, I just want to have a discussion about it. A little friendly healthy debate is good for the brain, for the spirit. It's good to have strong opinions."

The 'Never Close Our Eyes' hitmaker also opened up about the experience of having his personal space invaded and confessed that it's stressful, referring specifically to his arrival at Changi Airport on Wednesday afternoon where he was met by an army of fans:

"I get trespassed everyday. Were you at the airport the other day? But it's part of this gig," said Lambert, referring to the army of fans who gathered to greet him at. Part of being in control of your life is knowing when to surrender. It's a struggle and and a journey but I'm trying. It's interesting to be objectified, I'll tell you that."
