When Adam Lambert isn't busy hanging out with Boy George or making out with Ke$ha, he's doing what he does best -- performing.

It wasn't so long ago that Glambert visited the VH1 studios and delivered a stripped-down "Unplugged" performance of songs like "Mad World," originally recorded by Tears For Fears, and "Music Again," off Adam's album For Your Entertainment. He even took the time to explain the inspiration behind his newest single, "Whataya Want From Me," as seen in the video below.

For a closer look at Adam's performance, check out our exclusive flipbook and be sure to watch the interview below.

Plus, in case you were wondering, that is former Yellowcard drummer Longineu W. Parsons III banging the skins. I know, I know ... You can sleep much easier tonight knowing that tid-bit of information.

Adam Lambert's reputation as a fashion icon and flamboyant diva-dude performer on stage and screen continues to grow. I mean, just peep this Flaunt photo spread. Stunner shades!

All that flossing and stunting and saving the world (like he does in his "Time For Miracles" video) aside, it's nice to see him get back to basics — back to what made so many folks fall for him in the first place: simply performing. And WELL.

Here we have two clips from Adam Lambert's recent appearance on VH1 Unplugged. And while he definitely brings a little attitude to the stripped-down proceedings, he really lets his singing voice do the work.

The first clip is a bongo and piano-driven reimagining of "Down The Rabbit Hole," originally featured on the deluxe version of For Your Entertainment. It's decidedly different from the razor-sharp, glam-rock studio take of the song.

The second clip is a nice sit-down with Adam, in which he talks about the challenges of performing his rather elaborately produced music in such an intimate, no-frills environment. And watch more live performances at Unplugged.VH1.com.
