Adam Lambert: American Idol’s Next Mentor

Although he’s still establishing his post-American Idol career, Adam Lambert has been tapped as the show’s next mentor.

Season 8’s runner-up will appear on the FOX show next Tuesday, April 13 to offer a few words of advice for each contestant. While it’s not yet known which genre he’ll be contributing to, Lambert should be able to at least provide some hints as to what the judges are looking for.

“Even though I’m just at the start of my recording career, I hope to lend some insight as one who’s been thru the Idol adventure. excited!!” Adam wrote on Twitter.

A scandal-free performance of “Whattaya Want From Me” will then follow on the Wednesday results show. “Don’t worry America: I will be beyond family friendly. Relax and enjoy. For Your Entertainment,” Lambert tweeted.
