April 16, 2010 - Kimberley Locke visited ABC News Now to talk about her new single ‘Strobelight’, what she’s been up to since her ‘American Idol’ season two experience, her picks for this season’s ‘Idol’, feeling the contestants this year are being “a little lazy” and not going for the high notes, and reports that Crystal Bowersox was thinking about leaving the show. “If she knows now that this business is not for her, then I say take it home,” Locke said of Bowersox. “If she wants to miss out. Listen, if I told you I never got homesick I’d be lying to you. I get homesick now… That’s life, and if she’s willing to give up this amazing opportunity that she has, honey rock on. I’m sure the other six will be happy that she’s gone. That’s one less competitor.” The interview video has since been removed.

Adam Lambert AOL.com Sessions
Adam Lambert shows off his ‘strut’ in AOL’s Los Angeles studios for a Sessions live set. In a Q&A, Adam talked about the story behind the album title, working with Pharrell, how fans influenced the album, being influenced by artists like Michael Jackson and Madonna and how he feels about performing with Queen.
Talking about how he came up with the album title ‘Trespassing’, Lambert said, “The album title is ‘Trespassing’ and it’s the title track because to me the song ‘Trespassing’ is like a mission statement. I wrote the song with Pharrell Williams, who is an amazing, great pop producer. I felt that the song kind of summed up what I’m about as an artist and as a person, and I do feel like a trespasser. I feel that not in a literal sense, because I don’t think I’ve broken into an property recently. I feel like I’m very different than the normal dude. I’m pretty eccentric, and as far as the music industry is concerned, I feel like a bit of an outsider. So there’s times that I feel like I’m breaking new ground by breaking in.”
On Pharrell’s role in ‘Trespassing’, Adam said, “One of the main things we talked about which kind of kicked off the song ‘Trespassing’ was different types of discrimination and fitting into the world and finding your own path. I think that’s what ‘Trespassing’ is really all about. It’s about saying, I know I might not be welcome here. I know I’m different. I know that you’re saying keep out, but I’m not going to let that stop me. I’m gonna do what my heart is telling me to do, and do it proudly.”

Katharine McPhee: Adam Lambert Wasn’t Established Enough For AMA Antics
Katharine McPhee spoke with the Los Angeles Times in a Q&A, where the ‘American Idol’ season five finalist was asked about fellow ‘Idol’ runner-up Adam Lambert. The 25-year-old said:
I think he probably got a little ahead of himself as far as the American Music Awards. I’m not knocking him for what he did, I just think he should have done it a year down the road when he’s more established as an artist and not just an “Idol.” You have to be cognizant of your place in the business… but it’s hard when you come off that show and you’re the biggest thing since sliced bread, and everyone’s doing everything for you. You lose perspective, so you have to be careful.
