Posted on September 30, 2009 - 8:42pm by tammy American Idol's Adam Lambert created a video to thank his fans for donating $229,000 to support public school classrooms as part of the challenge he launched with education charity DonorsChoose.org. "I am unbelievably moved by the generosity and resolve of my fans, who have donated beyond what I could have ever expected to help students around the country," Adam said. "Although I was on tour during the length of the competition, I frequently checked in on the challenge progress and was so amazed to see the number of donors and total amount donated continue to rise and rise." Adam's debut studio album won't be released until Nov. 24, but after it was made available for pre-order yesterday on Amazon.com, it skyrocketed to No. 1 on the online retailer's best selling list.
