The release of its first single, “A Moment Like This” (2002), broke The Beatles’ record for the biggest leap to number one, from 52, in the history of the Billboard Hot 100 chart. After parting ways with her management, Clarkson developed a more rock-oriented music with the release of her critically acclaimed sophomore album, Breakaway (2004), which sold more than 12 million copies worldwide and which garnered Clarkson more worldwide success as a pop rock artist.

The album’s single, “Because of You” (2005), became the best-selling single by an Idol contestant worldwide. In 2007, Clarkson took full creative control for her third album My December, which had had a more rock-inspired sound and was met with controversy and moderate success. Clarkson later returned to a more pop-oriented sound with All I Ever Wanted (2009), which became a commercial and critical success.

The album’s lead single, “My Life Would Suck Without You” (2009), currently holds the record for biggest leap to number one on the Billboard Hot 100 Chart, breaking her own record of “A Moment Like This” as well as earning her first number-one single in the United Kingdom. Clarkson’s fifth studio album, Stronger, was released in October 2011, preceded by the lead single “Mr. Know It All” which peaked within top ten in eight countries. The second single of Stronger, “Stronger (What Doesn’t Kill You)”, was released in January 2012, and became Clarkson’s third number-one single in the United States.

Ryan Starr American IdolRyan Starr American Idol, Ryan Starr (born Tiffany Ryan Montgomery; November 21, 1982) is an American female singer, songwriter and actress. She ranked seventh on the season 1 of the talent search television series American Idol. She has since appeared in numerous movies and both reality and scripted television programs.
Starr was born into a middle-class family in Sunland, Los Angeles, California to Peruvian mother and white father

Starr appeared during the audition rounds on the first season of American Idol, using her birth name. According to Simon Cowell’s memoir I Don’t Mean to be Rude, she was “cripplingly shy” at the audition, but “Paula [Abdul] saw some potential for stardom in her, and decided to mentor her.” As a result, he claims, Montgomery became overly confident, changing her name to “Ryan Starr” by the next phase of the competition, dressing in flamboyant homemade outfits, and insisting on singing rock rather than the pop music he felt she was suited for.

Instead of the usual pop hits that other contestants were singing, Starr chose an unusual song, “The Frim Fram Sauce,” in the first semi-final. She was the second singer from that group to be voted into the Top Ten. The following week, Starr was the first to perform on American Idol’s first live show. She sang “If You Really Love Me” by Stevie Wonder, and received praise from the judges, including this quote from Simon Cowell: “Pure star performance, loved it.” Starr faltered when she sang The Kinks’ “You Really Got Me,” and was panned by the judges. Cowell called it “dreadful.” The following week she sang Donna Summer’s “Last Dance,” and received praise from the judges, but was eliminated.

Starr returned with the rest of the finalists during the shows’ finale and sang “These Boots Are Made For Walkin'”, and went on a nationwide 32-city tour with the other finalists. RCA, in partnership with American Idol, signed her.

In addition to Tommy and Ashley, Adam introduced Isaac Carpenter and Camilla Grey, both who were part of his band during Glam Nation. He tweeted, “And the incomparable @isaacthecarp on drums!! So in the pocket!!! And the biggest heart…” and added, “And @UhHuhHerMusic’s Cam on keys!! A true artist and musician… And a sexy spirit!! Luv ya Cam!!”

Isaac Carpenter has a long list of credits, having played with Loudermilk, Gosling, and Duff McKagan’s LOADED, among others. Ashley Dzerigian was a part of the bands My Jerusalem and Great Northern. Prior to joining Adam Lambert’s band, Tommy Joe Ratliff played in several bands in L.A., such as Eat the Crow, Mouthlike, and Turn of the Screw, among others.

Although Adam Lambert is a solo artist, his band members add much to his live performances.

Now that Adam has formally introduced everyone, are you excited to them perform his new music? Hopefully fans won’t have to wait long, because Adam will probably start the promotion tour for his new single soon!
