I think he's incredibly talented, and don't care about his sexual orientation. Did anyone care about Liberace being gay? I realize he's going to try to stay in the closet a la Ricky Martin and many others because he doesn't want to lose any fans - but it's a shame that this day and age people still have these worries about whether someone is straight or gay.

For anyone who is convinced he's straight - please don't click on this link.

I mean really. You ask why others like him and are receiving responses, I ask why do you find him so disgusting and hope that you will provide us with YOUR answer.

Thanks.
I thought I have. I mean, it's difficult to fully explain but it's mostly his cocky demeanor and something about the way he smiles... and some other stuff... I dunno I put a whole bunch of replies down earlier. Maybe check those out. It may be able to explain further. I know he an amazing voice, don't get me wrong! I just really don't care for him. I think he is just a bit too much for my taste.

It also seems that some are getting the wrong idea about why I don't like him, though. It is not because he is gay! Or that he wears eyeliner. Seriously! Read carefully because that is absolutely NOT why I don't like Adam Lambert.

Adam is 4-5 years older than Kris so I'd take that into consideration when making the claim he has an unfair advantage over Kris.
Clip from interview with Adam and Kris:
With nearly 20 years of stage experience in musicals and plays in San Diego and Los Angeles, reporters asked Lambert if his performance background might give him an advantage over Allen.
"This isn't theater, so I don't really see how it affects it at all," Lambert said. "I've had experience onstage performing, but so has Kris ... just in different venues. Kris has worked clubs and worked with a band. ... The thing that's really cool about this competition is that it's an equal-opportunity situation."

May I interject that anyone who says Adam is self assured, a better word than a slang term used in previous post need to take a look at the cult of front man.
Steven Tyler
Mic Jagger
Robert Plant
Yes Elvis
All men who were screaming confidence when they walk on the stage.
He is right up there! Go Adam!

Oh great...now if Adam DOESN"T win, the fans of Adam are gonna say it's because EVERYBODY is against gays........great stradegy.

I haven't cared for the last 5 weeks so carry on with the results show.
