Adam Lambert on Oprah Winfrey.
Winfrey is apparently poised to have Lambert, hot off an incredible year of media attention after he placed second on American Idol, on her show.
Lambert rose to fame on Fox's hit show and then became a source for controversyafter his November American Music Awards live performance, where he engaged in a same-sex kiss, among other edgy on-stage acts.
His performance was so shocking that ABC yanked him from appearing on its iconic Dick Clark's New Year's Eve show. The censorship prompted comparisons to how Elvis Presley was handled after his hip-swiveling performance in the 1950s on the Ed Sullivan Show.
In fact, a new web site unveiled this week features the complaints about Lambert that were sent to the FCC after his performance.
Lambert, widely popular among his entertainment peers and media critics, seems to have shrugged off the criticism, but it's unclear whether the singer can overcome the mainstream controversy and return the focus to his music and remarkable voice.
