"I am thrilled with this purchase! I already have the "FYI" American release CD. In this import (from Japan?) are four more bonus tracks in addition to the "Time for Miracles" bonus track: "Master Plan", "Down the Rabbit Hole" "No Boundaries"(yes, the Kara DioGuardi song), and "Voodoo." The real treasures here is the DVD, which is zone 0, (zone-free), and which plays fine in both my ten-year old JVC dvd player and my one-year old Sony DVP-FX930 portable DVD-CD player. I must admit I had been worried that the DVD would not play in the US, but not to worry. The joy of Adam Lambert comes not from just hearing him sing, but also from watching him speak, perform, just be himself. Adam's charisma oozes throughout the videos of him posing for photos for his album, singing songs for his album, and shooting the videos for "For Your Entertainment" and "Whataya Want From Me."
Finally, the actual music videos "For Your Entertainment" and "Whataya Want From Me" are included on the DVD disc. I am enjoying watching the DVD over and over again. Well worth the modest price for this combined CD and DVD set. However, lyrics for the four extra bonus songs are not included; the lyrics for the other songs on the album are just like they are in the U.S. release CD booklet. I do not buy music or videos digitally, so this import special edition of "For Your Entertainment" is much appreciated.

Adam Lambert "For Your Entertainment"

"Adam Lambert's album "For Your Entertainment - Special Edition" is outstanding. It has all the original songs plus bonus tracks which includes "Voodoo". In addition a DVD is included of his music videos of "For Your Entertainment" and "Whataya Want From Me", as well as videos during the making of those music videos. I give this album five stars because I think Adam is an amazing singer/performer. I hope that eventually he will release a DVD of one of his concerts because he truly has been given the "gift of performance". His remix EP is also outstanding and I highly recommend that you download it."

"What a fabulous first CD/DVD this is. Well worth every penny paid for it... and more! What a voice, what a range! This young man is destined to become a GREAT star with all the glitter and glam anybody could desire. Every song is a winner and the DVD is a joy. It plays on ANY player, totally universal and gives an insight into the making of music videos and photo shoots. Also provides with two full music videos (For Your Entertainment and What Do You Want From Me). All Adam, he does the talking and gives a running commentary on what is going on as he is having his make up applied. You see the videos being made and the you enjoy the finished thing. This young man is going nowhere but 'up' can't wait for his second CD."
Entertainment at it's very best!!

"The ultimate in the music world! This entire CD will take you to another level,a journey into fantasyland...absolute ear candy! Brings out the magic in your heart and soul that you thought was hidden away forever.
The songs and lyrics are very relatable and allows you to be proud, humble,confused,vulnerable and empowered.
A very small price to pay for such and amazing journey. The more you listen to it, the more you are captivated!
