Is Adam Lambert Gay?

Submitted by The Critic on Thu, 2009-05-21 18:32.

It's one of the questions that has been asked throughout the entire season of American Idol. Is Adam Lambert gay?

Photos of the American Idol 2009 runner up have surfaced with Lambert locking lip and tongue with other male folk, not to mention the incredibly camp costumes - although that could be due to the fact that he's quite involved in theatre. However, doesn't that say something as well?

They question that needs to be asked though is, who cares? Does sexual orientation dictate who is more deserving of winning a singing competition?

It has been said that it would be too much for America to vote in a black president and a gay idol in the space of six months. How sad and true that appears to be. The reality is, we're all members of the human race. Unfortunately, we all like to define each other and that isn't something that is going to change over night.

If it is true that Kris Allen only won because the religious right voted against Adam then that is a real shame. Unless they go out and support their winner now and sellout his concerts and buy every album, single and piece of merchandise, Adam Lambert will outsell and outperform and ultimately show them up as being frauds.

American Idol is a title for a day type of award. Being an American Idol is something that has real longevity. I know which American Idol title I would prefer having.

I think he probably is. And I think it DOES matter, even though talent should go before orientation. It's about how he sings, and that should be the mos timportant factor.

However, depending on religion, some people care more than others. Many christians do not like adam becaus ehe is gay, and being gay is against the christian beleif. I happen to agree, but that is just my opinion and religion. Eveyrone is different. I sitll think talent comes first, but you can't ignore the person's orientation.

Even Kris won, all around the world are still waiting for Adams' album or concert, Kris???? I don't hear a lot, that's the big thing in the future for Adam, it's good for him not to win the title AI so he can have more freedom in his music world, not to sign contracts with AI. He's truly a World Idol not ARKANSAS IDOL!!!

Adam was clearly the better singer. He was also more polished, classically trained and professional. In the end though, I felt Kris Allen was the winner.

Why? It had nothing to do with Adam's sexual orientation- couldn't care less- but more with his authenticity. He was so theatrical that after eight weeks his stunning act kind of got old. "What will Adam do tonight?" "How will we change something up?" How will he surprise the audience?" "When does he open in Vegas?" Fatigue factor.

Adam Lambert could EASILY front a band- like Queen or Nine Inch Nails- and that's what he should do- or he heads to Broadway or Vegas. Not sure if that makes him THE American Idol.

Gokey had a great voice but could sing only from the Michael Bolton/Michael McDonald song book. His version of "Dream On" was excruciating. H emade the mistake of trying to prove he could keep up with Adam's screamer. He NEVER had a chance.

Kris Allen had a few performances- "Heartless", "Ain't No Sunshine" "She Works Hard for the Money" that were in my opinion- "Radio Ready" and I could easily see buying his initial offering. He felt a lot like James Taylor... didn't sound like him, but gave the same type of vibe.

Kris wins...

Well, i love adam gayness because i'm gay too, lol.
Actually, i think sexual preferences don't need to be critiziced for anybody, even religion's view. He have a powerful voice and he's gonna be a huge superstar.
Why? because that's what the world needs!!!

Yeah Yeah they are both great, but one is definitely greater then the other and the problem is that it’s obvious that the best man didn’t win. It’s Ease as that.

re Adam being "greater than Kris"....That all depends on your deffinition of "greatness"....and it all comes down to personal preference.

And apparently the majority ......perfers Kris. ....He's deffinitely my personal Favorite... and has been from DAY 1 ...as I'm sure thats obvious by now. Smiling

Kris and Adam have moved on... Now it's OUR turn.
I know we are all passionate about who we love the most but good grief... let it go!

They each have huge carreers ahead of them and you can cheer on the performer of your choice and scream at the top of your fucken voice!

Idol Season 8 is finally over... I'm sure both contestants are glad about that!

Now on to bigger..... better ......and .....MORE IMPORTANT things....!!!!!!

KISS KRIS for KHRIST'S sake! Or Ahh..Damn ADAM?!

End those protests & insults. They are NO DOUBT the Best 2 of finalists and both truly stand in their own Limelight.

THE SUN- ADAM natural star, he belongs to entertainment industry with his own daring and forward style. Charismatic & stylish. He is a statement of his own.
THE MOON- KRIS shines shyly but surely, he has more room in the making towards a star. Quietly confident & hopeful. He can convey a statement to the world.

Adam makes you indulge in him. Kris makes you indulge with him.

Adam sure can sing almost anything with the range of keys he cover but those high notes get overbearing after awhile... If Kris is criticized as "anywhere can find" vocal, it makes 2 of them cos Adam can write off as 1 of the plenty of 'rockers' who all sound alike at the top of their lungs...But people don't really wanna rock all the time... However, I do think Adam can capture many individualistic souls with his sultry melancholic ballads... He attracts with his young, hippie, non-conformist yet clean & approachable looks. Whereas Kris's style is boring to most but unassuming and fresh. He's the ordinary star with originality. If Kris hits the right path, he will be a classic star as he ages.

The song 'No Boundaries' not so great but nice and as usual meant to be inspiring? It's too wordy and too high for both of them.
Some people claimed that it was written in favor to Kris which I thought otherwise.
The high notes & chorus are obviously catered to Adam's vocal, but even with his high strummed lungs he had his pitchy moments...
To listen to Kris's first attempt at that song made people worried for him, but he tried his best & sang with all his heart loud and fierce. Not to mention he did it under great stress that Adam has better advantage... Personally I think Kris's version has more punch in it and it was momentum. He proved he's the real owner of that song in his winning encore.

To share with you, I had no eyes on Kris to begin with. They were widely set on Adam until the final 5, when my heart then goes to smiley Danny- The master class vocal voted out without a struggle, with less than exciting to bring to the table....I was kinda disappointed. When the 2 finalists are concluded, that "What the hell is Kris doing there?" did came up on me. But the star in Kris was determined to draw my attention, he uncovered his potentials and qualities, though not as LOUD as Adam but definitely . He is truly the Dark Horse and he will be a Golden Horse in the longrun.

Having said that, there're both great and potentially qualified as your AMERICAN IDOLS!

Adam deserves the attention but KRIS deserves the title.
