PROFESSION: Singer- Song writer, Musician and Actor

Adam Lambert’s presence while he was on the American Idol, eighth season. Various albums by Lambert include For Your Entertainment, Trespassing and a few others. He made history when for the first time, a musician who topped the Billboard 200 declared himself gay, without any apprehension. Adam Lambert has made his work, his art, into a very commercial and critically acclaimed piece. He has been nominated for a lot of awards like Grammy Award and Honorary GLAAD Media Award.

CHILDHOOD

Lambert was born in Indianapolis to parents Leila and Eber Lambert, in the year 1982. From the tender age of nine, Lambert started his journey into the music industry, by taking baby step, one at a time. He started by performing at the MET2 and Broadwat Bound Youth Theatre Foundation. This happened when the family moved to San Diego, California. He also appeared in some local productions including You’re A Good Man, Charlie Brown and Fiddler on the Roof. Over the years, his interest in both acting and vocals developed. He attended California State University, Fullerton, in the year 2000. But, he quit after only five weeks. He took a major risk for his career, which thankfully proved to be in his favor.

CAREER

Lambert was a very early bloomer. He got his first job at the age of 19. The job entailed him performing at a cruise ship for a period of ten months. Following that stunt, he performed in light opera in the Orange County. When he was only 21, he was cast in a tour of Hair that had to take place in Europe. This tour really helped Lambert in getting to know himself. In the year 2004, he appeared in a few local productions like Brigadoon and 110 in the Shade. During this phase as well, he wasn’t really well known, even though he did get a lot of praise for his acting in the various productions in which he was involved. Lambert’s career sort of twisted for the good when he decided to appear for an audition of the eighth season of the American Idol series.

American Idol seriously changed him as a person and also, as an artist- a musician. The show also got him a lot of fame and success. For his initial audition, he performed on the songs Bohemian Rhapsody and Rock With You. During the competition itself, several pictures were leaked of Lambert kissing a man. When he was asked about the same, he openly said that he was gay and that he had always been pretty straight forward about it. The pictures made him even more famous, but did not affect the competition that much.

“My possessions”

It does not need to be said that this globally famous singer has accumulated some drool worthy assets over the years. Why don’t we have a look at that?

1. Roswell home

Usher bought this home in 2007 in Georgia, USA for $3.3 million. The European style mansion stands over an area of 12,544 sq. ft. and includes six bedrooms, seven bathrooms, a large kitchen and a living room. It also houses a separate workout room, an enormous parking space, a pool and a spa.

2. Ferrari 458 Spider

Usher loves luxury and this is clearly evident from his possession of a black Ferrari 458 spider, which he adores driving along the streets. One of the finest sports cars in the world, the Ferrari 458 spider might be Usher’s favorite on account of its lightening top speed or may be the bold exterior styling, but one thing is for sure that the singer appreciates the Italian car manufacturer. The sports car comes equipped with a commanding V8 engine developing 562hp and an influential braking system for providing immediate halt when required.

3. Brawler GTC

Usher got the chance to usher in an awesomely new bike, custom built for him for his birthday. Called the Brawler GTC, the bike was built by Darwin Motorcycles. With an impressive engine display and a powerfully muscular exhaust pipe, the bike is meant for single riding. It has been painted in black and fluorescent orange and it has wide handlebars with robust crash-guards. The broad tires assure a good balance at top speeds while the headlamp with the stylish meters and displays ups the punch-quotient of the bike.

4. Ducati 848 Evo Superbike

The Ducati superbike starts from $14,000 and singer Usher has absolutely no qualms about coughing up that amount to ride this beast of a bike. With its black carbon body and frame, the bike stands like a piece of machinery from a sci-fi movie. The powerful 140 engine which sits hidden beneath is able to accelerate the bike to a top speed of nearly 260 km/h. The bike weighs about 180 kg and transmits via a 6-speed transmission with a wet clutch. Wearing a black jacket with a black visor-helmet, the singer looks simply awesome as he rides the bike.

5. Ducati Monster 1100 Evo bike

On the first week of March 2013, Raymond Usher opted for a enjoy ride on his matte black Ducati Monster 1100 EVO motorbike on the streets of the Manhattan neighborhood of New York City. The singer was almost unrecognizable since he covered his head in a crash helmet most of the time during his motorcycle ride. The exterior appearance of the Ducati Monster 1100 EVO is further enhanced due to its external accessories like LED taillights and lightweight ten spoke wheels. The look and feel of the EVO strongly resembles that of a military motorcycle. Usher surely has got a thing for bikes!

And here we end the list! This multi talented entertainer is a complete package of good voice, good heart, good business skills and last, but not the least, a drool worthy kitty.
