This is a picture of American Idol's Adam Lambert before and after his album art photoshop! Can you spot the difference?

That's nothing, look at what it can do to monkey faces! See how it makes that chimp look almost human? 
Wait, you mean photos of celebrities are photoshopped before being released to the public? Say it ain't so!
I'm with robbieduncan, forget what he looks like without Photoshop. Lets see what he sounds like without autotune and all the other stuff ProTools does.

That's why I hardly ever watch music videos or bother having album art saved in my music files.
So, EW, SashaFierce, you've never had a spot or a zit before?
Anyway. My feelings about the overuse of Photoshop is well known () I personally hate it but: surely this is Album "Art"?
I mean if they were trying to pass it off as an actual photograph that would be one thing.
Perspective darlings it helps.

Is it just me, or is that an incredibly ugly album cover? It's like a bad step child of the 80's or something.

I don't use Photoshop, Gimp does all the same things for free, the X-ray effect is one of the greatest things I've stumbled across toying with the app.

Gimp has a horrible UI though, I just can't use it. I like Pixelmator myself, get the trial version then when the trial runs out just hit escape when it says you need to buy a licence then hit command 123 twice then command N, and there ya go!

Indeed. Even Photoshop can't fix that level of clock stopping, mirror cracking, camera breaking ugly sported by the likes of Lyle Lovett, Mick Jagger or Kieth Richards. They are famous based solely on their musical talent.
Nowadays we get a lot of eye candy, with little or no talent. The exceptions are few and far between. I miss the days when singing abilities still trumped looks.
Were I live they at least have an Oldies channel.swingerofbirch

You could also fix some of that in real life. I won't pretend to know what skin problems he has, but you can do some great resurfacing with beta hydroxy acid (salicylic acid) and retinol. Also, it looks like he might be wearing really caky foundation or concealer which would make any blemishes look worse.
BTW, he sings really well without auto-tune or any of that, I think it's pretty sink or swim on AI, and I saw a youtube video of him singing at a cabaret club before he was known and he was pretty amazing. I don't care for his style of music much, but I still think he's talented.

Haha that's what I thought, although I wouldn't 'hit it'. I'd keep far away from it.
