WHEN he was making his debut album, Adam Lambert was fresh out of the in-at-the-deep-end musical academy that is American Idol.
He'd sung with Kiss and Queen on the show and was bringing his own flamboyant pop dreams to life in the studio.
One of his musical collaborators had some advice for him. Her name - Lady Gaga.
"She told me about the previous three years," Lambert says. "She worked really, really hard before she made it. She told me there's no glamour, you don't get a lot of sleep, you don't get a lot of stability in your social life - you just have to count on yourself and go for it. It was a good pep talk. And she was right."
His pop brain-picking went straight to the top when he got an audience with Madonna.
"She told me that you can't get wrapped up in all the media and message boards, that everyone's going to have an opinion. People will criticise you especially when you're doing it well. You can't do much better than getting career advice from Madonna. She's the queen, right?
