Wondering how a rock singer can sing awesomely, Adam Lambert found out that it is something that can't be taught and has to be done by himself.

Adam Lambert found the true nature of his voice through self-teaching. To Los Angeles Times, Lambert confessed on his teenage training as an opera singer, saying, "I started rejecting the proper way to sing and I started singing. I was listening to more and more rock music and wondering, 'Wow, how does that person do that with their voice'."

"I met with [a vocal coach] over the summer and talked to him about it and funny thing was, you know when I do those little, crazy, screamy notes?" he explained. "He's like, 'We don't really have a way to teach that. It kind of goes outside of our box.' Those notes that sound sort of like rock-scream, no one ever thought me to do. I sort of had to teach myself. You just do it. It's just a sound you make."

Runner-up of "American Idol" season eight, will release his newest album called "For Your Entertainment" on November 23. The first single from the album was written by Claude Kelly, the one who also wrote Britney Spears' "Circus", and Dr. Luke, who wrote Katy Perry's "I Kissed a Girl". Adam also co-wrote four of the songs in this album; "Strut", "Aftermath", "Broken Open", and "Down the Rabbit Hole."

On November 22, Adam Lambert will sing "For Your Entertainment" live for American Music Awards. His performance will be continued by live concert performance on Wednesday, November 25, on ABC's "Good Morning America", and at the same night Adam is also scheduled to perform on CBS' "Late Show with David Letterman."
