  Mr. BILBRAY. Madam Speaker, today I rise to commend my constituent 
Adam Lambert for his amazing journey on Season 8 of Fox's American 
Idol. Every week Adam has entertained the American public with his 
artistic renditions of American classics, from Johnny Cash's ``Ring of 
Fire'' to Led Zepplin's ``Whole Lotta Love.'' His performances are 
inspiring young people everywhere to work hard, aim high and follow 
their dreams.

  With still two more weeks of the competition to go, I join with the 
people of San Diego, California to wish Adam the best of luck. As one 
of Adam's favorite artists, Lenny Kravitz once said: ``I just need to 
know that I did the very best I could and that I was true to myself.'' 
Adam, we will be rooting for you and looking forward to your next 
unique and creative performance.
