Adam Lambert is living out a well deserved dream life. He's out on the road with his hugely successful and well reviewed "GlamNation" tour. His songs are selling like mad on iTunes and everybody wants a piece of him.
One of the perks to being a hot new singing superstar sensation is that soon after your songs come out of the post production studio and make their way to the radio you get to make music videos right away. No questions asked.
In this song, "If I Had You" Adam gets to play in the park. In LA... at dusk. The place was closed down for a day while the rest of the city went about their business. That's pull.
The song has come under a bit of fire because the lyrics seem to be advocating a less than middle of the road lifestyle. But if you listen, look and dig a little deeper you'll see that the message is clear: If I Had You, my life would be perfect!
See for yourself... typical Adam Lambert. Just when you think he's all flash, he throws in a heavy dose of substance!

IF I HAD YOU
So I got my boots on, got the right amount of leather
And I'm doing me up with a black color liner
And I'm working my strut, but I know it don't matter
All we need in this world is some love
There's a thin line between the dark side
And the light side, baby,tonight
It's a struggle gotta rumble
Tryin' to find it
But if I had you, that would be the only thing I'd ever need
Yeah if I had you, then money fame and fortune never could compete
If I had you, life would be a party it'd be ecstasy
Yeah if I had you, you, y-y-you, y-y-you, y-y-you
If I had you
From New York to L.A., getting high, rock and rolling
Get a room trash it up 'til it's ten in the morning
Girls in stripper heels, boys rolling in Maseratis
What they need in this world is some love
There's a thin line between the wild time
And a flat-line, baby, tonight
It's a struggle, gotta rumble
Tryin' to find it
But if I had you, that would be the only thing I'd ever need
Yeah if I had you, then money fame and fortune never could compete
If I had you, life would be a party it'd be ecstasy
Yeah if I had you, you, y-y-you, y-y-you, y-y-you
If I had you
The flashing of the lights
It might feel so good
But I got you stuck on my mind, yeah
The flashing and the stage
It might get me alright
But it don't mean a thing tonight
That would be the only thing I'd ever need
Yeah if I had you, then money fame and fortune never could compete
If I had you, life would be a party it'd be ecstasy
Yeah if I had you, you, y-y-you, y-y-you, y-y-you
If I had you, that would be the only thing I'd ever need
Yeah if I had you, then money fame and fortune never could compete
If I had you, life would be a party it'd be ecstasy
Yeah if I had you, you, y-y-you, y-y-you, y-y-you
If I had you

jk, he's very good - just had the misfortune of being on the same year as Adam, even though he ultimately won. IMHO...
btw, I love your sayings... "Get someone else to blow your horn and the sound will carry twice as far..."

I just started it yesterday, and have to "decorate" the group site, still. I'd appreciate any input, if you like the idea, and want to participate. Thanks for posting this video here! It was my FIRST favorite song, when the CD was released!
Thanks for friending me! I will be checking out your new group as Adam is one of my favorite entertainers! I'm not sure if I can post this in two groups but I will post something new in your group instead, OK?
Best
