In Adam Lamberts words
“Welcome To The Show” is an anthem about facing exactly who you are and OWNING it. Its intended as a mantra to inspire strength and PRIDE, whether you are Young, old, male, female, Trans, Gay, Straight, White, Black, Asian, Hispanic, and every beautiful in-between.
This is the alternative music to my dance " There I said it " and I dedicate it to the victims of the Orlando shootings.
