Fair enough, I wouldn't be quick to liken Lambert to Freddie Mercury. That guy has a chronicle to surpass all others! He was in the spotlight but he had an awesome band to work with too, and a unique and distinct sound that was untapped for its time. STILL classic. Oh well. I'm not knocking the guy; I agree he's talented. I just think that he'll have an explosive start to his career (if he wins) and then he'll quickly fade out.

And I hate to tell you this, but yeah, looks matter a ton. And sexual appeal. He's got a good voice, but he's not a stunner like some of the former Idols that have been cranked out.

Speaking of stunners, maybe not a stunner, but the charmer Chris Allen is the one who stirs up my blood. Even though I don't expect him to win, I spend about an hour (off and on) calling the 03 number.

Adam happens to be a very handsome guy with great features, Yes he may have bad skin which he presently covers with too much makeup BUT i certainly wouldnt call him unattractive. I suspect he is unappealing to YOU because he is NOT YOUR TYPE. Thats a whole nother issue. But give the guy his props: he's got talent, looks, style and charisma. sounds like the perfect Pop star to me !!!!

i would very much liken Lambert to mercury, if for nothing but the crazy ranges of both.
But for Skull, Adam will be wildly successful but don't forget about Kelly Clarkson. She was the first American Idol and she's done well by her label

I just saw Adam's performance of Whole Lotta Love on YouTube.
I gotta disagree, Dee.
His talent will override all the factors you mention.
And he's been putting everyone in the dust for good reason ... all arguments aside, he has crossover appeal. It's obvious. He's been proving it for weeks.

I'm at Jason's and we missed last night's show but I just saw that performance and Whole Lotta Love was written for Adam. He was brilliant.

It's Christmas in May for you, Skull. Mwah.

When I said I was leaving looks out of it, I was talking about comparing Adam and Clay Aiken. (Sorry for the confusion, but I really didn't want to talk about how awful the Gaykin is looking these days.) As for Adam, he knows how to market his sex appeal and he's got style as much as substance. He's not the type of guy who appeals to me sexually, but who cares? I'm sure he's many people's fantasy--both straight and gay. And yes, I'm gay and I know all too well that looks do matter--in all aspects of life although that may not necessarily be a good thing.

He cakes the makeup on because he is a natural redhead with freckles! Hard to imagine!

Kelly is not forgotten, she is obviously the reigning queen of American Idol. But Adam is outselling her on itunes right now, and this is just the beginning. I'm not looking to start a swordfight here, but I recognize her success and that is why I am still predicting him to be the most successful, and legit, American Idol, ever.

No that would be Carrie Underwood. Asam's biggest chance after Idol is as a Clearasil spokesperson. When he wakes up and realized he's 7 yrs too old for that haircut...........:wink:

Nope, nope, nope. I gave you a performance. Don't be greedy, now.

His snarky pseudo-sweet persona still makes my skin crawl.

So you won't give me the Mad World performance or the Tracks of My Tears one either? I'd request his version of Ring of Fire too but your probably a country purist.

For the love of god, Skull, I give you an inch--me!--and you want a mile. I will not backtrack.

I'm not a country anything.

And, please, add an " 're" to your "you're", just for me, will you? Fair is fair.

Did Adam sing ring of Fire?! I'm having a hard time picturing that one.
Click to expand...

He did a Nine Inch Nails-esque version of it (ending is cut off);

YouTube - Adam Lambert - Ring of Fire - Live

Mad World ;

YouTube - Adam Lambert - Mad World - Studio Version

Tracks of My Tears ;

YouTube - Adam Lambert- The Tracks of My Tears (Studio Version)

It is hard to get the live ones off of youtube because Idol rips them down.


"you're" gonna be taking me out on an all expense paid night in NYC when he wins...
