Adam Lambert: ‘The first time I experienced homophobia was in the theatre world’ – “Funny as it sounds it, probably within the theatre world. I would be auditioning to play parts such as the romantic young leading man and it was hard because there was a lot of homophobia in casting. My manager would come back and say ‘Well, they really feel like you’re too light.’ I was like, ‘What does that mean?’ and they said, well, it means gay. It was difficult because I was in my early twenties trying to come into my own and figure out who I was, all that. And then at the same time I’m trying to get work where I have to be other people and sort of have to downplay that part of myself. It was super confusing because I felt like, ‘Where can I express myself?’ That’s probably one of the reasons I started becoming drawn to music and being my own artist: being able to do things on my own terms.” – Read more at GQ

Dave Stewart on What Sets ‘Songland’ Apart From the Reality TV Music Pack – But then the Eurythmics were managed by Simon Fuller for a period in the late ’90s. And I knew Simon Fuller before that and he created Pop Idol, which became American Idol. So I was around a lot. And even though that wasn’t my cup of tea, and the singing competitions are not really my cup of tea, but every now and then there would be somebody you could tell they could be an artist. Then mainly you saw younger artists who decided to go on there but they actually wrote songs. – Read more at Billboard
