UPDATE:: My take: This danceable tune finds Adam’s vocals processed, stripping out his unique sound until the very end where he gets in a few of his signature rock wails. No surprise here, for anyone who has listened to his pre-Idol work–Adam was all about the dancey processed pop. Making a thoroughly modern pop song that plays well on CHR is exactly what he needed to do at this point in order to get those all-important radio spins.

It’s hard to predict these things, but I think “For Your Entertainment” has a shot at chart success. We’ll see.

PS: I’m not getting the T Rex comparisons at all, the song sounds thoroughly modern to me.

Adam Lambert will debut his new single, the Claude Kelly/Dr. Luke track,   “For Your Entertainment” today on Ryan Seacrest’s KIIS FM radio show at 6:55 am.

Check out the cover–initially posted on Perez Hilton this morning.   Adam’s looking very fierce! It’s the vibe I was expecting for the album cover.   I likes it!

I’ll post more on the single here after the debut.   I’m going to pin this post to the top for awhile.

Also leaked this morning…the track list for the album.   Check it out RIGHT HERE.

    I have been out of pocket to post for some time/but, have kept up with all the daily/nightly blogs on MJ’s….and, for sure have kept up with all Adam news and events each and every day. TFM is Epic in everything musical that it needed to be..and beyond. I have grown to really, really
    like the song, his presentation, the vocals and his video and the emotion he shows on the video…I have had countless people of all ages, likes and dislikes, comment on his voice and how much they loved listening to it…and, would be going to the movie to hear him sing at the end! Now, for the subject matter, FYE…So smart of him to do the albumn cover he did…got attention…made thousands talk….got sooooooooo much media attention..papers, tv, magazines, etc. there was no end to it for 48 hours. Then, the single drops while all this attention is FRESH and you have interest galore and more in Adam.
    My husband and I say this was a tremendous idea and it has worked.
    Adam knows no limits to what he can do with his voice, he had me at Brigadoon and his first audtion of AI. He need not prove one thing to me. I know that voice and what it can do. FYE is a current song and it
    is important to show that he can be as good doing this type of song,
    as he can doing classical, ballads, soft rock, rock, pop, and, even religious..(“The Prayer”, etc.)and, no doubt in my mind he could do a Vince Gill, Garth Brooks or George Strait cover and it would blow all our minds. As for the lyrics being about rape, please, after listening to music for many more years than I care to admit, and, coming from a family background of musicians who were very skilled in their performances and teaching of music abilities, this talk of rape is all very wasteful chatter/but, I guess makes good conversation for some. I can’t even begin to list the artists and songs through the years that some would say had lyrics that made these look like nursery rhyme phrases. A member of my family in the 90′s was a member of the 4 Non Blondes group, which many will remember, as Linda Perry was the lead singer and I have kept up with current music for the younger generation since. I think(personal opinion) that Adam is one smart and super talented guy and that and his Mom/Dad/brother have gone through a lot seeing him come as far as he has and he has earned what is happening to him now. I really cannot imagine how anyone sees anything in this song that is what some are describing as rape.
    I know he is going places and has a lot of people in the industry behind him, that is the best part of all of this…I know he has, not only his many loyal fans….but, those in the know to assist him in all his musical endeavors. I am enjoying FYE and cannot wait to hear all the rest of his songs and see all his upcoming appearances…..So, everyone
    just sit back, relax, enjoy life and enjoy Adam…I sure intend to!

    So let’s wait until the returns actually come in before we declare that Adam has joined the Idol version of the Trinity, shall we?

    I couldn’t agree more. I mean I get that it’s pretty much the job of the AMA guy to hype his show, so frankly I just put it down to self-motivated hyperbole and moved on. I have hopes that someday Adam will be successful, but there is no damn guarantee, especially in this economy, with the music industry in the trouble it’s in and when songs like Fireflies can be number one hits. Who can tell who will be commercially successful and why?

    I prefer Time for Miracles to FYE, but like both. I am older and don’t like the newer stuff as much so that is not surprising. Why isn’t TFM being played on Christian Stations. I know the disaster film is violent, but the lyrics are inspiring.
