Handsome Adam Lambert releases new song video 'Welcome to the show'

Adam Lambert has released a new music video for his song "Welcome to the Show" and hopes to inspire fans to be themselves.

The clip released Wednesday, features vocals and an appearance by Swedish singer-songwriter Laleh and is presented in a mostly black and white aesthetic before splashes of colour are brought in.

The video, co-directed by Lambert along with friend and photographer Lee Cherry, is independent of his label Warner Bros. and according to an essay the American Idol alum penned in Flaunt Magazine, "Isn't about selling a song, or product placement, or racking up viral views. This is intended simply as a creative expression."

"'Welcome to the Show' is an anthem about facing exactly who you are and OWNING it. It’s intended as a mantra to inspire strength and PRIDE. After recording the song a few months ago, I felt very compelled to create a video to further communicate it's meaning," the singer wrote about the song's message in Flaunt.

"I want you to keep celebrating exactly who you are, even if you don't fit into the world’s ideas of what they think you should be," he continued. "Take your flaws in stride, nurture your talents, take pride in your Queerness, and share all the love you have."

"Welcome to The Show" was originally released in March ahead of Lambert's return to American Idol to perform the song. The singer is currently in Australia judging the new season of The X Factor.

Guess who is talking with Cleveland Cavaliers...Dwayne Wade!

Imagine an NBA defence trying to stop a driving Kyrie Irving and Dwayne Wade , while LeBron James is free to roam in and out of the paint. Although somewhat far-fetched, the possibility is not out of the question. Despite being offered the $20 million annually he was seeking, from the Miami Heat , Wade is chatting up the Cleveland Cavaliers . Huffington Post sports columnist Jordan Schultz reported the news. "League source: Dwayne Wade in preliminary talks with #Cavs to reunite with LeBron. Talks still early," Schultz tweeted. Wade, 34, is scheduled to meet with the Milwaukee Bucks Wednesday. There could be bad blood between the 12-time All-Star and the organization he has spent 13 seasons with. His wife, Gabrielle Union, alluded to that with a tweet last week saying: "When u waiting for a text/email/skywriting and nada... thanks for being crystal clear." The Heat was silent with Wade as it pursued free agent big-fish Kevin...
