I’m sure some do. But, that’s not the point. The point is that any romantic interaction between him and any female was a sham.

Uhm..isn't that what ACTING is?

“He’s a fag.”

Sometimes a cigar is just a cigar, and a performer is just a performer.

Then again, maybe you need a few sessions with ol’ Freud to work through any latent angst you may have.....

I hate it when people analyze things to death and try to attribute red/blue state to things like this. Pretty silly. I've been watching Idol this season (one of my many guilty pleaures), and I agree that Adam is perhaps one of the most talented singers Idol has ever had. However, after a while, I have started to become annoyed by his style. Chris, on the other hand, has slowly grown on me, he has a very smooth and cool vibe. I will probably be voting for Chris.

One thing that I have noticed about Adam's singing, that really annoys me now that I have noticed. He breathes loudly and dramatically. I know he has to because of how he belts out his notes, but I find it more and more annoying as I hear it.. just me, maybe I am a hater..

Way back I saw a pic of adam with his tongue stuck way out there on the tongue of another man who also had his tongue stuck way out there.

Throw up time.

No, they haven’t.

His recent wedding was part of his backstory early in the show, and they’ve shown his pretty blonde wife just about every week, including her riding with him in the hometown parade last week.

Are they pimping Adam? Sure. And I’ve actually thought that showing Kris’s wife every week was part of the AI effort to get rid of him.

Did you listen to him sing Tracks of my tears or MAD WORLD? When he sings a ballad, like this, nobody can hold a candle to him. And he does still sing longs like that. I posted youtubes here of him singing the one you posted and a later song called I JUST LOVE YOU...he’s brilliant.

No, I have not listened to him sing those other songs. I missed your post but found the Brigadoon song on Youtube. The guy can sing when he wants to. But I don't understand the rock stuff.

Anyone who thinks Kris is more talented than Adam is either deaf of prejudiced.

Wrong, wrong, wrong.

While I'm not a huge Chris fan, I could certainly see myself sitting down and listening to his album when it comes out. On the other hand, I can't for the life of me imaging being able to sit through 12 songs in a row of Adam screeching into the microphone. He's got a good voice but somewhere in every single song his shrillness drives me nuts. If I heard him on the radio I would likely change the station.

If he could control himself (this is apparently a problem in many aspects of his life) he would be a great singer, but he sounds like he's crying hysterically at some point in every song. Sorry, but that's not for me.

I’m not thrilled with his blue statedness, but it’s more that makes every song sound so much alike that bothers me.

I will be shocked if he doesn’t win, though.

A lot of people compare Adam to Freddie Mercury.

When Adam writes and sings his own songs, and plays an instrument like Freddie did, get back to me.

I don’t particularly care who or what he sleeps with, so long as he says “It’s none of your darned business” when asked. With the exception of season 1, I’ve watched all of them. And up until a few weeks ago, I’ve had Chris Daughtry & Carrie Underwood as my #1 & #2 respectively. Adam became #1 in my book after hearing his rendition of “Mad World.”

Yep, Adam can be compared to Freddie...let's hope he doesn't die in his 40's due to anal sex.

That sounds just like my grandparents who never understood Elvis, his talent or his appeal.

The redstate bluestate divide concept has entered the Idol competition. Politics has produced a stain on a singing competition.

The article in question notes that Adam is pretty much groomed to present himself as the ideal of the liberal urbanites who elected Obama. He is polite, speaks softly but with authority, fits the popular gay template, is the end product of the progressive revolution.

Meanwhile over at Newsweak, writers fret over Dannie and the Christian vote. Will the terrible Christian hordes turn out enmasse and destroy the competition by inserting religion into the mix. This is done while neglecting the fact that the apparent favorite seems to be or at least presents himself as queer.

What of the Queer vote? What of those who vote queer because and soley because it is trendy? Is that not equally bad as the Christian vote?

Alas the Christian vote either didn’t exist or was not nearly as strong as Newsweak feared.

There is one fact apparent however. This year, there is a little more to it than a singing competition.

I'm an old fuddy-duddy and I love Adam. Kris is cute but....I think he's boring.

I don't vote but would vote for Adam if I did.

AI is a talent contest---Adam has the most.

Adam Lambert sings like Ethel Merman on meth.

He's a ghastly, gothic screeching demon from hell, but he'll be big on Broadway, cause they love that crap on Broadway.
