Adam Lambert, the voice of the Broadway, joins the youngest contestant that the show has admit to the Top 12, Allison Iraheta, and 'shocker' Kris Allen who got little screen time yet receives viewers vote. Soon, the first wave of fame has come upon them in the form of press interviews.
Lambert talks to MTV, mainly on the subject that he is closely associated with, Broadway. When asked how he compares the "Idol" and the musical theater, he answered, "You have to be on your game with the theater world. You have to be ready to go at any moment. I mean, this machine is turning real fast."
