During an interview on UK breakfast TV show, Adam Lambert has admitted that he is often ‘very hard’ on himself and that th pressures of his career sometimes lead to him getting ‘stressed out.’

Adam made a quick stop in England as part of his European promotional tour for his album ‘For Your Entertainment.’ As well as giving a fabulous performance of the title album track (video here), he also had a candid chat with the presenter about the negative aspects of his job.

Adam said:

I have my moments where I get a little stressed out or overwhelmed but then I try to remind myself how fortunate I am to be where I am and how amazing these opportunities are and that’s the pep talk I give myself if I start losing it. That always brings me right back down.

Admitting that he is his own greatest critic, the American Idol star continued:

I am SO hard on myself. If you were on the outside looking into my head you would probably be shocked. I’m a perfectionist and I get so frustrated with myself when it’s not perfect.

But I think it’s a good thing. My expectations for myself are so high that when I go on stage I have to try to live up to these expectations and that probably creates a stronger performance. If were lazy and didn’t care as much it’d probably be mediocre stuff I was doing.

Maybe it’s his tough attitude and self discipline that make Adam the fabulous artist he has turned out to be…..whatever it is, he is certainly doing something right wouldn’t you agree?
