Earlier this summer, Hi Fi Recordings announced they were planning to release an album of material Adam recorded prior to his stint on "Idol."

The album, titled "On With the Show," was slated for release this summer, but has not yet hit retailers. A single, however - "Want" -- is available for download on the label's Web site.

Adam attempted to distance himself from the project following its announcement in June.

"The work I did back then in no way reflects the music I am currently in the studio working on," Adam previously said in a statement to Access Hollywood. "I'm thrilled to be working with some of today's hottest songwriters and producers and can't wait for people to hear what my music really sounds like."

In related "Idol" news, Danny Gokey, who came in third on the show, has just signed a recording deal.

Danny has been snatched up by 19 Recordings/RCA Nashville, a branch of 19 Entertainment, which produced "Idol."

According to USA Today, Danny is set to hit the studio in country music's hometown following the "American Idols Live" tour, which is currently trekking through the U.S.

    As for Alli & Kris. Allison's single was released last week. It's very "bratty" pop & generic. Shame bc I became a fan of her mature renditions of rock classics. Kris's single (a cover of a Script song) was released two weeks before, it bombed on the downloads chart. Shame bc I like Kris. Wonder why he chose to do a cover. Oh dear.

    Didn't your moms teach you to not judge a book by their cover? He's so NICE, earthy & hilarious in interviews. Bad.ass onstage but a SWEETHEART offstage. Kris Allen's bro said, "Kris & Adam were closest bc they're SO similar. Both loyal, honest ppl who know how to have fun & always want the best for everyone around them."

    This guy wears more black eye make-up than the Olsen twins! It looks ridiculous.

    Adam Lambert has the look of a tacky backroom pornstar. His talent is mediocre at best. However, Kris Allen is greatly talented and I think people will buy his album. Also, whatever happened to that Allison chick???? She has more talent than all of them put together! Give her a recording deal! Where is HER album?

    Adam Lambert is a no-talent clown. He wails and wretches out sounds that remind me of dying animals, his Johnny Cash cover was a disgrace, and he has some serious pock marks. People just like him because he is gay and chicks think he is hot (for some strange reason.) Kris Allen is a better singer because he actually sings and completes his words while singing. Strange how the masses are ignorant

    I saw Adam in Milwaukee and he was the highlight of the show. I also got to meet him afterwards and he is so sweet( not to mention even hotter up close). I can hardly wait until November 24. Until then I will keep listening to his songs and watching his videoes from Idol on my Ipod.
