The Voice Australia judge Adam Lambert has revealed what he really thinks about the long running singing reality show ahead of its season 13 premiere 'There are different styles of singers and something for everybody. I know that sounds like a generic pitch, but there really is. We have singers doing contemporary pop songs, country and soul.
