He states, "To find a talent as exceptional as Adam Lambert is a rare and special event. I am thrilled that 'American Idol' was the platform for the world to discover this brilliant young man. He is unique and unforgettable and a certain star of tomorrow."
Barry Weiss, chairman and CEO of RCA/Jive Label Group, offers his supportive statement as well. "There are no longer any rules in terms of where the world's next superstars may come from. We are thrilled to be getting involved with Adam Lambert as we all at RCA Records believe he is one of those rare, future global stars," so he explains.
Now that he has found a home to release his debut album, Adam Lambert is scheduled to hit recording booth this summer while he is touring with Top 10 Idol outcasts.
