Adam Lambert is stepping up to respond to rumors that he is being considered for the role of American Idol judge.
"'Idol' has an amazing history of introducing great musical talent, and I was very fortunate to have had the Idol stage play a big part in my career," said Lambert on Monday. "IF 'Idol' wants to talk to me about judging, I'd be more than flattered to have that conversation."
Lambert was the runner-up on season 8 of the series, finishing behind Idol winner Kris Allen.
Adam spoke further about the Idol speculation during an interview with UK radio station Capital FM.
"I'm just hearing about this today as well and so what a beautiful rumor,” he said. “I mean if, and I say if with a capital I.F, if they were to approach me and if they were to say you know 'we want you to be a judge on the show' – I would love that! I would jump at the chance, I think it would be fun.”
"I've been a fan of the show since it's been on television. I owe my career to American Idol," Adam continued. "If you weren't for American Idol I doubt I'd be sitting here with you. I don't think my life would have went the way it went."
“I think it would be really exciting to be sitting at a judging panel and trying to help people reach their dreams."
