Reasons Kris Allen’s album is going to be totally fucking boring and Adam Lambert’s is going to rock or at least have one super amazing dance hit.

“Allen hit Timbaland’s studio in Virginia Beach to work with Joe King of the Fray. While Allen has been experimenting with some urban-influenced styles, he’s honing the material for the album in a John Mayer/Jason Mraz direction.

Lambert has teamed up with hotshot producer RedOne, the studio wizard who’s had a hand in crafting Lady GaGa’s worldwide chart-topping hits “Poker Face” and “Love Game,” as well as working with Michael Jackson, Usher and the Backstreet Boys.

“I want to go rock — David Bowie and Queen, but make it more easy for people to get,” the producer said of his vision for Lambert. “It has to be rock, but with an interesting dance angle to it, you know? You’ll like it.”“
