"Idol" winner Kris wants respect, Adam eyes stardom

Many Lambert fans expect the contestant nicknamed "Glambert" to try to revive 1970s glam rock after his performance with bands KISS and Queen on the show. But Lambert does not plan to make rock his sole focus.

"I don't want to do one specific genre," said Lambert, 27. "I'm more about fusion, I kind of like adding little elements of things into the final mix."

Lambert, from California, said he would like to work with guitarist Slash, who served as a guest mentor on "Idol," and with Queen guitarist Brian May, with whom he performed in the show's finale.

A former cast member of stage musical "Wicked," Lambert said he has no immediate plans for Broadway but would also like to act in a movie.

"In the heyday of Hollywood, artists got to do everything. They did music and they did film. And I would love to go that direction," he said.
