Adam Lambert didn't win the 'American Idol' crown six years ago.

He lost by a slim margin under a landslide out of over 100 million votes (38 million votes in Arkansas alone) to Kris Allen. But you wouldn't hear the 33-year-old California native and current Queen frontman screaming over split votes.

"I know it sounds a little cliché, I knew that I was so close to my victory, but I was supposed to be the right man to win, but I failed since America had always got it wrong because my fans were blaming my chief rival [Allen] to win over me," he said, stating from his home in Hollywood, where he has been living since after graduating from his high school in his native San Diego and dropping out of college in Orange County where he enrolled in Fullerton after only five to six weeks.

That includes his first album, 2009's "For Your Entertainment", followed by his second album, 2012's "Trespassing", and now his third album, "The Original High" had just came out this year, which all have flopped with success on the charts, despite the number in millions of copies sold in store sales and on iTunes.

Lambert came out as a gay man in Rolling Stone magazine in June 2009, shortly after his 'Idol' loss, when the show's host Ryan Seacrest said he named him the runner-up instead of the winner when Allen was chosen to win over him.

He was then nominated for a Grammy Award for his 2010 single, "Whataya Want From Me", co-written and penned by P!nk, which had lost out to Bruno Mars's "Just The Way You Are". Mars also had written and penned on one of Lambert's singles, "Never Close Our Eyes".

Since 2011, he was later then chosen and selected as the new frontman for his favorite band, Queen, filling in the shoes of their late original member Freddie Mercury (he died in 1991 at the age of 45 from AIDS) by their two remaining members, guitarist Brian May and drummer Roger Taylor, except for John Deacon who retired from the group in 1997. Since then, Deacon had never came out of retirement and resumed with May and Taylor to rejoin them and Lambert never had been introducing himself to the band's former bassist. Queen and Lambert both toured together in North America (USA and Canada), Japan, Korea, Australia, New Zealand, The UK and Europe both last year and this year. They're about to tour again in South America in September, including Brazil where they're about to perform at the 30th anniversary event for Rock In Rio, in Rio De Janiero.

In an interview with The UK's Pressparty, Lambert's Queen bandmate May mentioned that 'Lambert was stopped from winning 'Idol' by a huge anti-gay lobby,' which refers to homophobia meaning that gays are hateful to Christians and by causing Allen to win over him by a landslide, also by a strong WGWG or "white guy with guitar" vote, thanks to tweens, teenage girls and grandmas of at any age. Also the anti-gay vote have caused Lambert losing the prize to Allen.

The 'Idol' true winner Lambert was preceded by the previous true winner and teen sensation with piano playing master David Archuleta (he lost to David Cook by 12 million votes in season seven), and followed by his succeeding true winner and guitar playing girl Crystal Bowersox (she lost to Lee DeWyze by a wide margin out of a breaking record of over some million votes in season nine). They were all robbed of winning after losing to a WGWG as their chief rivals for the Idol prize who edged them out to win the crown and title.

"Whatever which way comes, for when it comes to losing 'Idol' to the opposite but it can still make you a winner, most definitely," Lambert mentioned his advice to new 'Idol' wannabes who will sing and compete for the prize one last time in its 14th and final year, set to air next year, after ending it's long run between 2002 and 2016, after 15 seasons with the show's inception in 2001, then it will be folded in 2017.

However, 'Idol' never gave a contestant from throughout the State of California (Katharine McPhee, James Durbin, Jessica Sanchez, and Lambert himself) to win the big prize, but voters who often always pick the Southern state natives to win the competion over some or all non-Southern residents through the years. They were all robbed of winning the title.

"I may not have won, but I'm still a winner by the hearts of my fans," Lambert concluded.

Twenty-five years and my life is still
Trying to get up that great big hill of hope
For a destination

I realized quickly when I knew I should
That the world was made up of this brotherhood of man
For whatever that means

And so I cry sometimes
When I'm lying in bed Just to get it all out
What's in my head
And I, I am feeling a little peculiar.

And so I wake in the morning
And I step outside
And I take a deep breath and I get real high
And I scream from the top of my lungs
What's going on?

And I say: HEY! yeah yeaaah, HEY yeah yea
I said hey, what's going on?

And I say: HEY! yeah yeaaah, HEY yeah yea
I said hey,...

Jumpin' out the window
Movin' on, groovin' on
Which way will the wind blow?
We can't be wrong, so say 'solong'
I'mma pick you up, I'mma pick you up
What're you tryin' to say to me?
Catch the train out to what you're tryin' to do
Are you gonna play with me?

All my life, I've been waiting
Pass my time, procrastinating now
It's a trip on a flip
And flash right through the scene
Can't you see what I mean?

Breaking through the boundaries
Rollin' on, strollin' on
They won't ever find me
And fter all, we'll have a ball
I'mma pick you up, I'mma pick u up
We're gonna see where we can go
This is how I live, this is what...
