I actually mentored the contestants yesterday and 24 00:01:04,920 --> 00:01:07,959 Speaker 3: it was such a great day. The talent this year 25 00:01:08,120 --> 00:01:08,759 Speaker 3: is crazy. 26 00:01:08,920 --> 00:01:10,720 Speaker 1: Yeah, so what's going on? 27 00:01:10,880 --> 00:01:13,800 Speaker 2: Like when you were on you had the talent, But 28 00:01:13,840 --> 00:01:16,160 Speaker 2: did everybody have the kind of talent at this time 29 00:01:16,280 --> 00:01:16,880 Speaker 2: that they have? 30 00:01:18,520 --> 00:01:20,800 Speaker 3: I don't know, It's hard to say. I mean, I think, 31 00:01:21,040 --> 00:01:24,360 Speaker 3: you know, enough time has past. People are probably maybe 32 00:01:24,440 --> 00:01:27,640 Speaker 3: savvier than they might have been, you know, given everyone's 33 00:01:27,680 --> 00:01:31,080 Speaker 3: on social media and whatnot. So I think I think 34 00:01:31,120 --> 00:01:35,039 Speaker 3: these contestants are clever. You know, they understand who and 35 00:01:35,080 --> 00:01:35,600 Speaker 3: what they are. 36 00:01:36,360 --> 00:01:39,440 Speaker 2: Yeah, and what did they want to talk to you 37 00:01:39,520 --> 00:01:41,040 Speaker 2: about you meet them for the first time? 38 00:01:41,080 --> 00:01:42,479 Speaker 1: What were they most interested in? 39 00:01:42,520 --> 00:01:45,840 Speaker 3: Adam, Well, you know, a lot of them had the 40 00:01:45,880 --> 00:01:48,800 Speaker 3: same kind of question about what do I do when 41 00:01:49,120 --> 00:01:51,280 Speaker 3: I'm kind of nervous? And I got a lot of 42 00:01:51,280 --> 00:01:53,440 Speaker 3: things to think about it once, how do I stay focused? 43 00:01:54,040 --> 00:01:57,840 Speaker 3: So a handful of contestants and I worked on some 44 00:01:58,040 --> 00:02:01,000 Speaker 3: tips and tricks to kind of stay ground and stay 45 00:02:01,680 --> 00:02:03,880 Speaker 3: in the spirit of the song and not get distracted. 46 00:02:04,560 --> 00:02:05,080 Speaker 1: Yeah. 47 00:02:05,240 --> 00:02:09,480 Speaker 2: Well, you also, when Adam Lambert was on stage, you 48 00:02:09,600 --> 00:02:12,720 Speaker 2: also conveyed fun, Like, whether you were nervous or not, 49 00:02:12,840 --> 00:02:15,400 Speaker 2: you always looked like you were having the time of 50 00:02:15,440 --> 00:02:15,959 Speaker 2: your life. 51 00:02:16,200 --> 00:02:16,959 Speaker 1: How do you do that? 52 00:02:18,919 --> 00:02:25,560 Speaker 3: Acting good? I was Definitely. I was definitely really nervous, 53 00:02:25,639 --> 00:02:28,080 Speaker 3: especially like the first half of the season. You know, 54 00:02:28,120 --> 00:02:31,959 Speaker 3: I was very excited and the adrenaline was high. I 55 00:02:32,520 --> 00:02:34,960 Speaker 3: think for some of the uptempo songs it helped because 56 00:02:34,960 --> 00:02:36,639 Speaker 3: it kind of gives you the fuel if you can 57 00:02:36,639 --> 00:02:40,279 Speaker 3: harness it. But definitely for some of the more, you know, relaxed, 58 00:02:40,360 --> 00:02:43,920 Speaker 3: mellow moments, I had just sort of talked myself off the. 59 00:02:44,200 --> 00:02:47,120 Speaker 2: Ledge it always I mean, I still can't get over 60 00:02:47,160 --> 00:02:50,800 Speaker 2: the fact that you you've done what you've done as 61 00:02:50,800 --> 00:02:53,960 Speaker 2: Adam Lambert by the way, his latest album, Highdrama's out now. 62 00:02:54,400 --> 00:02:57,400 Speaker 2: And then also you step into the role of being 63 00:02:57,440 --> 00:03:01,480 Speaker 2: with Queen, which is I mean, it's musically historic. 64 00:03:01,560 --> 00:03:01,720 Speaker 1: Bro. 65 00:03:02,000 --> 00:03:05,840 Speaker 3: You know, thanks, thank you. I mean it's been it's 66 00:03:05,880 --> 00:03:08,640 Speaker 3: been wild. I never expected it to take on the 67 00:03:08,680 --> 00:03:10,840 Speaker 3: life that it has. You know. I met them on 68 00:03:10,880 --> 00:03:13,680 Speaker 3: the finale of Idols, so I can thank Idle for 69 00:03:14,040 --> 00:03:18,080 Speaker 3: kind of making that introduction. And then we did a 70 00:03:18,120 --> 00:03:21,919 Speaker 3: gig together, like you know, a year after my first album, 71 00:03:22,000 --> 00:03:24,360 Speaker 3: my first solo tour, and I thought it was a 72 00:03:24,400 --> 00:03:27,400 Speaker 3: one off and it just kind of snowballed into this 73 00:03:27,520 --> 00:03:31,079 Speaker 3: incredible ten year journey that we've been on so far 74 00:03:31,360 --> 00:03:32,680 Speaker 3: of touring all over the world. 75 00:03:33,560 --> 00:03:37,920 Speaker 2: So here's a really like general question about stepping into 76 00:03:38,000 --> 00:03:40,720 Speaker 2: a room with people who have been doing it for 77 00:03:40,760 --> 00:03:43,400 Speaker 2: a long time and you're like the new kid, because 78 00:03:43,440 --> 00:03:45,040 Speaker 2: I think we've all experienced this. You move to a 79 00:03:45,040 --> 00:03:46,560 Speaker 2: new town, you go to a new school, you get 80 00:03:46,600 --> 00:03:50,400 Speaker 2: a new job. I'm generally like or I like, go 81 00:03:50,440 --> 00:03:52,560 Speaker 2: into a workout class for the first time, Like, I'm 82 00:03:52,640 --> 00:03:56,040 Speaker 2: shy and quiet and don't even speak to anybody. 83 00:03:56,560 --> 00:03:58,000 Speaker 1: What was it like for. 84 00:03:57,960 --> 00:04:02,760 Speaker 2: You to be in this group in this room for 85 00:04:02,800 --> 00:04:05,080 Speaker 2: the first time? How did you handle it? And what 86 00:04:05,240 --> 00:04:07,600 Speaker 2: guidance could you give to people who are going through that. 87 00:04:09,200 --> 00:04:12,640 Speaker 3: Well, you know, I was definitely you know, it was 88 00:04:12,680 --> 00:04:13,680 Speaker 3: a little intimidating. 89 00:04:13,720 --> 00:04:13,920 Speaker 2: You know. 90 00:04:14,000 --> 00:04:17,240 Speaker 3: I obviously Freddie Mercury, there's no replacing him.

I think 94 00:04:25,640 --> 00:04:27,880 Speaker 3: I think what helps me is that they requested me, 95 00:04:28,200 --> 00:04:30,880 Speaker 3: So I felt like, Okay, they they wanted me here. 96 00:04:31,480 --> 00:04:37,640 Speaker 3: I'm not I'm not like crashing a party that helps. 97 00:04:37,800 --> 00:04:40,440 Speaker 3: That helps, But yeah, I mean, you know, I think 98 00:04:40,480 --> 00:04:41,880 Speaker 3: at the end of the day, I think being really 99 00:04:41,920 --> 00:04:45,719 Speaker 3: honest and communicating is the key to everything.
