Lambert's Old Label -- We Got It in Writing!

Adam Lambert claims the album he recorded pre-"Idol" was nothing more than him singing someone else's songs -- but that just isn't true.

We've obtained an internal memo from two divisions of Adam's old label, which clearly lists Lambert as the co-writer on nine of the 11 tracks on the album.

Lambert's new handlers released a statement on his behalf this week condemning the album, which said: "I was hired as a studio singer to lend my vocals to tracks written by someone else ... I was broke at the time and this was my chance to make a few bucks."

Ironically -- or not -- one of the tracks Lambert co-wrote is called "15 Minutes of Fame."

3. Something smells fishy here... and you know it's not Lambert's fingers.

4. Actually, the statement out of Lambert's camp specifically addresses the released track, "Want", which was - as the document shows - written entirely by someone else. But, hey, far be it from TMZ to actually get ALL their facts straight when it's far more entertaining to simply quote whatever part suits your agenda.

6. I think Adam Lambert is wonderful... He makes people happy with his music and his beautiful smile. He is not hurting anyone
so why do people have to investigate and investigate this poor guy about everything. Is he gay? Is he not gay? I think that was the most stupid news flash around the world I have ever heard. I don't care one bit about this record label controversy... Idol is over and Adam can sing and dance and entertain his little heart out and I will enjoy every moment of it... smiling...

11. He was asked about the single Want which he did not write and recorded years ago. That was true.

Adam's Dad wondered why they used Want as the single. I don't think that they think that is the best single on there. I think everyone is fine about it. Adam just wants fans to know that his RCA album will have a whole different set and that he has grown as a writer and singer. These still are old songs.

12. Adam's comment was about "Want" which he didn't write. He didn't say anything about writing the other material, just that it isn't representative of his new music. So he was truthful. "Want" is a terrible song, The other stuff has long been all over the internet, it was on his MySpace, all over YouTube. You can get those for free so I guess the put out the crap that all of Adam's fans hadn't downloaded already. It's good music, though. Non-fans would like it. YouTube performances are fabulous.

13. You know , I am coming here to see if there are any updates on Farrah and this is the first time I am compelled to write a response concerning lambert.

Who gives a chit if he's gay , not gay .
He is a Baby Gaga to me , a guy with props ( the nasty make up , painted digits, etc. ) to get noticed versus letting his music speak for itself.

Too much saturation with this guy , seriously sick of him .
Whenever I see his pic , I scroll through past his segment , article , whatever to get to the next piece.

The ultimate moment is if reports surface of any diva esque behavior, don't let it get to your head lambert it will be way too easy to smear you left and right until nothing good will be written about you again.


Now watch , he and his puppets will respond to this post in disguise to dispel my truth ...Watch...

14. LOL enough already. Nobody's gong to come and dispel your important comments! If you don't like him then why read this. Silly! Baby Gaga sounds hot to me. He's got the hottest songwriters and producers wanting to work with him. He's a great human being who just wants to do his thing in music. He has no desire to please everyone. No prob u don't like his make-up and nail polish ha ha! He's got a rare voice - a counter tenor with no breaks going from falsetto to head to chest. Very unique, but not for all.

15. 15 min of fame? LOL what the heck you want to say TMZ? What do you want to say?
He is gonna last like long live king. OK? And as a fan of Adam, I knew that there were couple of songs that he co-wrote.
Nothing new people, nothing new

And please stop bothering him


I know Adam feeds you now but stop it
