I dearly hope that once Adam has made the much awaited announcement about the pink elephant tethered next to him during press interviews, we can all get back to the most important parts of Adam.. his beautiful voice, his gift to us of fun, haunting, musical and daring performances, his healthy outlook on life and his sexuality, his politeness, total generosity to others and his fellow contestants, humor and lack of ego as well as that brilliant mega watt smile that lights up a room and our hearts. Those are just a few of the wonderful things that are Adam Lambert. Now, can we finally get back to recognizing and appreciating all those fabulous qualities about Adam?  Can’t wait for that first exciting album!

Comment by Marian B. Painter on 5/29/09 at 4:37 pm

Interesting…Does Adam want to be part of the “movement”? Or perhaps he wants and needs to concentrate on singing? Was he part of the “movement” before the fame? Are you saying that the “movement” is going to use him as some kind of a flag? Or is he going to sing to the California Supreme Court Justices and they will reverse their abomination of the decision?
And lastly, since I am asking so many questions (what a Jewish thing to do…) - one more: What is the point of your article?

Comment by nds on 5/29/09 at 4:38 pm

One should remember that American Idols makes contestants sign contracts forbidden them to speak of their personal life without prior permission. Could it be that the Idol gurus have been stifling Lambert all along? His mother said she can’t comment because she had to sign the contract as well.

Comment by CLS on 5/29/09 at 5:26 pm

“Though it does raise questions as to why he wasn’t more direct in the first place.”

You’re kidding, right? I would have hoped a Jewish publication would be more enlightened about discrimination.

Comment by JB on 5/29/09 at 5:52 pm

I expected better from the Jews than climbing aboard the going-to-nowhere train of gay speculation on Adam.  How unoriginal.  What happened to creativity, talent, brilliance, intelligence, and looks to-die-for as attributes to be admired and written about?

Comment by Nanine on 5/29/09 at 6:58 pm

I’m sorry but when did Adam’s sexuality become an issue?  If it was an issue then it was to only the people in the media.  Since when did “Jewishness” become a word? Do you use the word “Catholicness” or “Protestantness” Is this really the JewishJournal.com

Comment by Sandy on 5/29/09 at 7:39 pm

Thank you Marian Painter for saying what you did! Adam is a wonderful man. Sweet and considerate, smart and funny. He truly has class and carries himself soooo well. He is a breath of fresh air. Of course not to mention he is astetically beautiful. He has so much talent and class. I am glad someone mentioned these qualities other than the fact that he may be gay. If he is, so what, at least he knows how to love, unlike all the crap you see on other reality shows. I commend him and wish him all the happiness in the world.

Comment by lorri on 5/29/09 at 8:17 pm

Adam is gay? Lucky are the guys he’s been with!
Adam is Jewish? I’m not. But no one cares cos I wasn’t on Idol.
Adam is a phenomenal singer and marvelous entertainer.
That’s all that should be talked about cos that’s all Idol is (or should be) about.
GO ADAM!!!  WHOO HOO!!!!!!!!

Comment by Marianne on 5/29/09 at 9:14 pm

I loved your comment, Nanine, and I agree who cares what his orientaion, or religion is, for that matter. Perhaps it was just the media that particularly exploited Adam’s sexuality, but it seemed to me that Kris’ religion was touted as important to his character and Idol. I could be wrong about the latter, and that could be more media hype. It is beyond me how the media can display such bigotry (The Bill O’Reilly Show, i.e., who (Bill) does not even watch American Idol, actually had a segment that was so biased on sexuality and religion, asking which of the final 2 would win, and lastly mentioned singing as a criteria). Adam seems to be such a wonderful, charismatic guy, and I look forward to many years of enjoying his talents!

Comment by Valary on 5/29/09 at 9:28 pm

Why are you and so many people so preoccupied with his sexuality. Do you go around asking heteros what THEY do in the bedroom?  Do you ask disabled persons about their sex life?  You probably find a way to ask your neighbour if they do oral sex?  And geez, do you check out your married neighbour who likes to go to strip clubs. You’re probably wanting to know too, if the Pope has ever masturbated. Get a life!

Comment by GiveItARest on 5/29/09 at 11:53 pm

My DEARS…............the bigger question is why is this ANY of your business to begin with? WAY TOO PETTY PEOPLE…..SMALL MINDED CONVERSATION…......

Comment by onegr8singer on 5/30/09 at 9:13 am

I agree, Adam’s sexuality is nobody’s business. Why should he be questioned and judged on that? He is a great talent and entertainer, and that’s all that matters. The media needs to step off.

Comment by lorri on 5/30/09 at 9:29 am

Like I said previously:  Adam is a phenomenal singer and marvelous entertainer.
That’s all that should be talked about.
He is very gracious to every interviewer, he is very thankful to his fans and he shows it, and he is a very nice and sweet guy who was crushed when Allison was voted off cos he considered her like a kid sister.
And sweet is that??  And the guy who won the title is his best budy and he is SO happy for Kris and so proud of him. Why not concentrate on THAT?

Comment by Marianne on 5/30/09 at 9:57 am

I don’t care if Adam is gay, Jewish, whatever.  He is FABULOUS!!

Comment by Sheikie on 5/30/09 at 12:30 pm

Great article again, Danielle. Funny how everyone reads it and has a different spin. But it gets people talking and brings out relevant issues to those who would read the Jewish Journal.

Throughout the process of American Idol, I thought Adam was quite smart and an absolute mensch. But the fact that he lost to a guy who sang out of the side of his mouth like Popeye and performed What Goin’ On with a sentimental smile…

Comment by Ernie Bilko on 5/30/09 at 1:26 pm

he needs to say bi to save women fans.

Comment by red on 5/30/09 at 5:16 pm

“he needs to say bi to save women fans”

Nope.  I’m a female fan and I love that he’s gay.  As for the continued speculation…really?  He’s out.  He’s never been in.  The only thing that’s ever been in his closet are fabulous clothes.  The reason he’s been coy is that those who are not smart enough to have figured out yet that he’s gay, then they deserve to keep twisting in the wind because…DUH!

Anyway, he’s a terrific singer and performer, a very nice man and I hope he has a long and happy career (and a cute boyfriend!)]

Mazel tov, Adam!

Comment by Katya on 5/30/09 at 6:22 pm

Why is it important for the public to know a celeb’s sexual preference?  Did we ask for it?  Not me!  This type of stuff should be in the same category as a heterosexual person’s active sex life—that is, it’s their own business!!!  Frankly, I don’t want to know anything at all about Adam’s sexual preferences.  Nor Clay Aiken’s.  Nor Elton John’s, for that matter.  Or anyone else’s?  I WISH the press would get off this bent.  It’s tacky and less than interesting!

Comment by Melody on 5/30/09 at 6:31 pm

I’m a female, and an avid Adam fan, because of his amazing talent, and the gracious, positive person he has shown himself to be, his personal, with emphasis on personal is not anyone’s business but his own.

Comment by Deb on 5/30/09 at 7:04 pm

“he needs to say bi to save women fans”

I’m a female fan, and the fact that he’s gay doesn’t bother me one single bit. If you only knew how many women Adam fans I know! And none of them give a crap about his sexuality. We don’t care that he’s hetero, gay, bi, or whatever else. We care about the talent, the voice, and the person. And if some women fans need to know he’s bi to stay a fan, they weren’t fans to start with.

Comment by Marianne on 5/30/09 at 8:14 pm

It’s really a lot of nerve prying, shoving people into corners and asking them private questions, especially about their sexuality. Does the media want to put everyone on trial?Many talented people don’t enter the arena because they don’t want such intrusions. “What’s that supposed to be?” some ask when looking at a painting of mine. I reply: “it is whatever you want it to be.”

Comment by Aunt Bess on 5/31/09 at 9:17 am

Adam is an incredible singer/entertainer. 
That’s what counts as far as his career goes.  Personally, I’m Jewish as are my children, and I would love for my gay son to meet Adam Lambert, a “nice Jewish boy.”

Comment by nancysings on 5/31/09 at 9:18 am

I love Adam.  He is a terrific young man.  Nuff said.

Comment by phyl on 5/31/09 at 9:26 am

The writer failed to memtion that even though Kris wan the AI vote, Adam continues to be more popular in opinion polls and online surveys. I do not believe that who won the AI vote says anything more than that the AI voters did not represent American opinion. The vote system allowed 50,000 people at Arkansas watch parties generate literally millions of votes, and a handful of anti-gay computer nerds to block Adam’s phone lines. All this result tells us is who had a better grassroots voting organization.

Comment by Kay on 5/31/09 at 9:33 am

Watching Adam perform is a mega-treat for the senses!  And after downloading his Idol songs and listening to them over and over and over, I’ve discovered I love listening to him as much as watching him perform!  Adam’s voice is real and it’s spectacular!  And, as Mary Lou Henner once said of Sting’s voice, listening to Adam’s voice is not enough…I love it so much I wish I could eat it!  If loving Adam’s voice that much is wrong, I don’t wanna be right!

Comment by Smarty on 5/31/09 at 10:32 am

It appears as though the only ones who care about Adam’s sexuality and religion is the media. . .I would really like the focus to be turned to Adam’s talent.  Please.

Comment by sara on 5/31/09 at 10:52 am

It never was and still is not anyone’s business if a singer in a contest is straight, gay, or bisexual. It is not anyone’s business at all except for news voyeurs and bias bigoted reporters. Adam is more fascinating to me because of speculation. His answer when asked if the gay issure dangeling over his head bothered him was pure pleasure to me-is that where it is, dangeling over my head? I like it dangeling. When ia a press conference, a reported said-the big question everyone is asking is if you are gay or not. Adam answered-is that the big question? Well there are a lot of opinions.  I loved it. I love the mystery and speculation. I love the humor in showing people how to handle the rude, crass people who ask inappropiate questions to satisfy their noisy natures.
Adam is very appealing and intriguing and he has changed hearts and minds on the gay issue because people like him. It would be a grave error for him to stand on a soap box-leave that is others. There are many paths leading to the same place. Adam is taking people there without a lecture or sermon being spoken.One dosen’t change something that works so very well as it is. The interesting thing is the contest winner Kris Allen,is a christian church leader who totally supports Adam.And, as Mr. Allen, has said, they are very different, but they are great great friends and will be for life. Perhaps it is only the older generations who still have issues with religious affiliation and sexueal perferances.

Comment by IMartha on 5/31/09 at 11:37 am

I think that Adam being the outsider, by being Jewish and by being gay, has probably shaped his personallity and made him the person he is today, so I think him being Jewish and gay matters.
As for him talking about his religion and sexual preference, I would like to see him talking about those because I think he could use his publicity to raise awareness because people are still being judged nowadays based on their sexual and religious preference and maybe Adam could help make a change.

Comment by MIA on 5/31/09 at 12:11 pm

But Mia, Adam doesn’t want to be known as a Jewish or gay activist. He wants to be known as a singer and an artist.  Why not grant his wish??

Comment by Marianne on 5/31/09 at 12:48 pm

Love ADam, it does not matter to me if he is gay. I am a straight mom, and I understand that some people are born gay. Being minority is nothing wrong, people should be allowed to be who they are and proud of it, instead of hiding things. He is the best entertainer and singer, the only one that I am crazy about beside Freddie Mercury. Never vote for American Idol until Adam comes, from Day 1 I knew he had a gift, a stand out among other contestants. Would love to see more of him in the near future. I miss his weekly performance!

Comment by way on 5/31/09 at 1:10 pm

Is there anything else can you talk about Adam Lambert other than his orientation?  We don’t care about his sexuality.  This does not apply to what Adam wants to do in the music industry.  It’s irrelevant to tell you the truth.  Nobody cares, this is something that nobody else business but Adam himself. 
So what if his flamboyant, wear black polish, put eyeliner.  It’s 21st freaking century.  Adam wants to show he is passionate about fashion let him be.  There’s a lot celebrity are that way these days.  Nobody ask them about their sexuality.  They should ask Whoopie Goldberg is she is gay, she sure seems gay to me, she dreses like one, she act like one.  That is stereo type isn’t it?
At this point the United States MEDIA, especially the NOSEY one should remains mind your own business about the orientation of any person all over the world period.  This is something the media should not make a Big deal about. 
Is that the only news you guys can care about?  Why don’t you investigate how the HELL The Arkansas came out with 38 millions votes in 4 hours, the votes came there is bigger than the population itself.  Oh even shocking it’s larger than the population in California alone.. California population is 36 million.  The entire Arkansas State population is only 2.8 million, and Conway is approximately 50 thousand only.  So that is interesting isn’t it.  I know it’s old news but hell, this is something should investigate.
Why not go to American Idol Producer and pound them the question is the American Idol winner is fixed?  I bet it is, why do you think they don’t want to reveal the percentage of each contestants votes?  Don’t you think the AI producer did infact wants to add a little drama to the finale?  Why America never get the right winner every finale, it seems that most of the winner aren’t that good of a singer.
Also, on the side note, when did America votes for a contestants that forgot the lyrics singing the coronation song, and the judges kept silent about it?  Yeah Kris forgot the lyrics watch the video again and see it for yourself. http://vodpod.com/watch/1640131-kris-3rdset-coronation-song?pod=fansite
My point of this whole thing is .. you are so interested about Adam sexuality which is irrelevant to begin with, we could careless about that.
This is a questionable Kris messed up the song yet he get praise left and rigth.  Kris admit it himself during Larry King interview by Ryan Seacrest that he forgot the lyrics, and he felt that he should have voted off a few times. 
Why the good singer always get voted off most of the time?
Do you think the Producer had an eye on Kris all along to keep him going, since they have no idea who can compete with Adam’s talent?  So, ofcourse they have to come out with strategy like, let’s make Kris as the guy next door, Christian guy(which Kris made an indication that he won not cuz of the Christian votes, common if u are a true Christian you should say suchs a thing)and he is likable.  Better looking than Danny Gokey. No offense to Gokey’s fans, I’m afraid that Geeks looks doesn’t appeal to most of the fans and when it comes in selling the records.  Danny Gokey is a little irritating during the show.  So the schemes was, then we have a reason why Adam lost, cuz the Gokey’s votes went to Kris plust both of them are Christian, then there’s this issue with Adam orientation, and Adam is declare a winner since the beginning of the Season and the judges favorite, plus Adam has a lot of experienced already compare to Kris .  Why not give the title to Kris, since Adam doesn’t really need it, he is already a rising star.  It will be more realistic and appealing to the public eye if Kris won, instead of Gokey(lets’ eliminate Gokey).  I believe the producer reading all the blogs or his family what we say about all the contestants.  Besides Kris is making a momentum, and people are in for a Shock of the results.  Which it works perfectly.  So…. the question remains why Adam lost?  Is it really about his sexuality or was it truly rigged?
We are smart people we know talents and who works hard there during the entire season.  We know Adam’s performance are flawless the whole time.  Even Kris Allen knows it, that title should go to Adam.
Why aren’t the media press that issue to the American Idol producer.  Tell them that the public has the right to know about the votes.  We want them publicized the results and how many votes came in from Eash States.  Also, how many votes or even text came in exacly per minute in Arkansas. 
That is the story you should be reporting to us.  NOT Adam’s sexuality.  What he does behind closed door is his business, not mine, not you, Especially NOT the MEDIA.  It is unpolite, and ridiculous to ask that silly question to someone.  May I remind you that is harrassment!!

Comment by MadWorld on 5/31/09 at 1:37 pm

The elephant in the room,(what is his seuality?) might be a pink elephant. Meaning-everyone is projecting gay on an heterosexual with a lot of effeminate gestures and mannerisms. My cousin is considerably more effeminate than I am and he is the male, and I am the female.Nevertheless, Adam may be gay, yet he makes me feel sexy and I have a meltdown whenever I see him. I have never responded like this to any male singer on American Idol in 8 seasons of the show.I’m not going to analyze it, it just is what it is.

Comment by Iana Leahman on 5/31/09 at 2:39 pm

MadWorld and Iana….... WHOO HOO!!!!! You tell em girls!!!!

Comment by Marianne on 5/31/09 at 2:58 pm

Thanks for an unbiased article.  Yes, we’re all sick to death of the sexual orientation issue.  Not only is it harassment, it’s also discriminatory.  Who else on Idol was quizzed by the media about their sex life?

Comment by RoRo on 5/31/09 at 4:13 pm

““Who else on Idol was quizzed by the media about their sex life?”“
Clay Aiken was.

Comment by Marianne on 5/31/09 at 4:32 pm

I actually think the fact he is gay and Jewish explains a lot!  He is supertalented, supernice, superwonderful which begs the question:  Do you know how many incredibly talented genius people happened to either be gay or Jewish throughout history?  The list is incredible and endless.  Scientists, writers, historical figures, you name it. He has a double bonus!

Comment by AdamAddict on 5/31/09 at 4:53 pm

Thank you, AdamAddict, for your post. It was a nice one.

Comment by Bilko on 5/31/09 at 5:02 pm

Adam should make a music video each week so we can watch that rather than deal with the MEDIA who has nothing else better to do than bully Adam in disclosing private matters.

Comment by tij on 5/31/09 at 5:48 pm

It’s not about him being Jewish or gay. Of course that would have swayed some votes but Adam was head and miles ahead of the others on DialIdol from the start and still after the Bill O’Reilly segment. It’s about the majority of casual viewers who tuned in the night before the finale and voted for Kris (who also has a beautiful voice and the coronation song fitted his voice better live although the studio versions differ), it’s about Arkansas seriously getting behind their boy, it’s about Middle America voting for easy listening and someone with broader appeal, it’s about voting for the underdog who just slipped inbetween and good on him, it’s about Kris getting Gokey’s votes. Do I believe Adam deserved to win? 100% but as Adam said, I also believe everything happens for a reason.

Comment by Zebra on 5/31/09 at 7:00 pm

He shouldn’t have to ‘admit’ to anything. When you admit, you’re revealing something shameful. Homosexuality is in the majority hormonal as is Asexuality. Bisexuality is a lifestyle. Labelling people is so, so stupid and childish - I wish people would get that through their heads. It should be irrelevant just like one’s race, religion, gender.

Comment by oh dear lord on 5/31/09 at 7:02 pm

Adam’s always been open about who he is in the most charming way. FGS he turns everything into hilarious tongue-in-cheek innuendo! He openly discusses his colourful life, his friends, makeup, drag queens, the internet pictures, the meaning “A Change is Gonna Come” had for him personally.  His reaction to the Bill O’Reilly “embarrassing pictures” segment in his EW Idolatry interview was, “Embarassing for whom? They censored the pictures! They censored it LOL. Was that indecent? I wasn’t embarrassed, I guess Bill was.” His own brother confirmed that yes, Adam is GAY.

It’s just…wow. WHY do gay men have to release a printed bulletin? Why the creepy obsession? Should I release a press announcement revealing to the world I’m a straight female intro straight males??

AS LONG AS A GAY PERSON HAS TO MAKE AN ANNOUNCEMENT THAT THEY ARE GAY, THERE WILL NEVER BE EQUALITY.

Comment by Why the Rolling Stones article on 5/31/09 at 7:09 pm

Never been to this site; came here to read about Adam.

Both my husband and I agree that this wonderful young man such a captivating, enchanting voice that it sends chills up the backs of our legs!

And… what manners! What a positive demeanor! What a sparkle in his eyes and heart-warming smile!

We could care less about what he does in his spare time be it sex, religion, or anything else that is personal and none of our business, because:

This guy can SING!

Comment by Major Fan(s) on 5/31/09 at 8:27 pm

What is the big deal?  Like we haven’t seen a gay performer before?  Well, maybe one not so talented, but Elton John and Barry Manilow ain’t chopped liver.  Adam has been obvious and open from the very start, and I don’t think he should make an announcement about his sexuality.  It’s very obvious, and furthermore, I don’t think it’s any of our business.

Comment by Ria on 5/31/09 at 9:26 pm

If I thought there was a chance Adam would be showing up in my bed, I might be interested in his sexual orientation ... but since that won’t be happening in the next gazillion years, it is none of my business.

Comment by Karen on 5/31/09 at 10:58 pm

Why does someone have to “come out.”  No one cares what people do in their bedrooms.  This is ludicrous.  Adam is a great singer and a great entertainer; he will be with us for a long time.  I think Adam is a beautiful person, gay or straight.  Isn’t that what matters?  What he brings to our lives and how he makes us feel about ourselves is what is important.  Adam brings me joy, happiness, and love for the whole human race.  Isn’t that everyone’s objective?  If it isn’t, it should be.

Comment by irish1139 on 5/31/09 at 11:39 pm

Anyone who happened to miss Adam on Live w/ Regis and Kelly really missed out on seeing a very gorgeous and camera-ready guy putting on his very best appearance yet, in dress jacket with quilted velveteen or satin shoulder trim, skin tight jeans w/tucked in shirt and rhinestone belt.  He was positively devastating.  Don’t know if you can find the video on line or not, but it’s worth it.  Even Regis was impressed.  It’s the dialogue part before he awesomely performs Mad World, where he makes his stunning entrance.  Entrancing!

Comment by RoRo on 6/01/09 at 2:48 pm

I apologize in advance for this rant.  But you get to a point where you just can’t sit back and not say anything.  After all these months, why does the media still insist on asking the obvious question when they interview Adam?  I go online today and the headlines are….Adam to come out in Rolling Stones magazine next month.  Are you kidding me?  Is the media that stupid that after all the pictures plastered all over the internet, you still have to ask the question?  I commend Adam for not coming right out and giving the media what is so obvious.  All they want is for Adam to verbally answer the question himself…but why should he?  What he does behind closed doors is no one’s business but his own, however everyone, especially the media has this hard on about “is Adam gay or not”?  Again…are you that stupid that you have to ask the question in the first place.  If I was Adam…that is exactly what I would say the next time I was interviewed and asked…are you gay?  Are you that stupid to ask me that question…again?  And why does it matter?  Oh yah, I know why, because people have this sick demented attraction to force celebrities into saying things that are controversial.  I honestly hope Adam NEVER says if he is or isn’t.  I think I would have more respect for him if he never actually answers the question.  Let him walk around with his boyfriend and/or girlfriend openly and happy, yet never come right out and say either way.  If there were pictures plastered all over the internet of him kissing women, do you honestly think that the media would ask…are you a heterosexual male?  HELL NO.  It infuriates me to think that all “they” are concerned about is his sexual preference.  People, all you have to do is listen to what he says when asked the question.  He hasn’t said no…he makes references that are so obvious, yet all the media wants is a YES or NO answer and he’s not giving it to them.  Good for him, and again, I hope he never comes right out and answers it.  Just to make a point.  If you are that ignorant to ask the same question over and over…then screw them….don’t answer the question.  Why not focus on what he set out to do and that was to entertain and perform.  Focus on his talent and his vocal ability and not on who he kisses.  The media has made such a big deal out of nothing and it’s sad that every interview the same question is asked over and over.  Adam’s answer from the very beginning…“I am who I am and I have nothing to hide”.  Get over it.  I assure you that if the media wasn’t so pushy about his sexuality, he would have answered the question already…out of respect for himself, his family and his fans.  It saddens me that the perverse curiosity of so many has become the focus of his interviews lately.  Adam has such amazing talent…he has captured the world, mind, body and soul in such a short time.  Please allow him to focus on what he does best, and not what his private life is. 
Adam…if you read this, please continue to stay true to yourself and know that your fans love you for who you are.  Continue to ROCK OUR WORLD and we will continue to love and support you for years to come.

Comment by AngieBaby on 6/01/09 at 3:27 pm

In reading many of the earlier comments, there is this continuous chorus of ‘Adam’s sexuality and his Jewishness’ is nobody’s business.  This attitude of suppressing information is one that I cannot and do not agree with.  If Adam is gay, and apparently he is, this will bother some, be a good thing to some, and be of no concern to some.  Why should the media protect me and suppress what some see as uncomfortable information.  Give me the info and I will decide what to do with it.  The clear assumption by the many who want information suppressed is that most people will then view Adam and anyone else like Adam in a certain and negative way.  I, for one, rarely follow the crowd, and I believe I am not alone.

The same with Adam or anyone else’s Jewishness.  The Jewish culture has so much to offer that so many people are starving for.  There is real meaning in the Jewish culture and faith.  This is not something to be either ashamed nor proud of.  It is simply a fact (in my opinion).  Be that as it may, Adam or anyone elses Jewishness, be it religion, ethnicity, or both is part of who they are.  Don’t assume everyone will view this negatively.  We’re not all Nazi-Christian-pagans in this country, are we?  And if we are, all the more reason to take a stand!

Comment by The Levite Line on 6/02/09 at 7:31 pm

Enough already!  Adam Lambert is at ease with who he is because he had a family that loved him for what he was and embraced him.  He’s obviously proud to be a Jew because he turns up and performs at most Jewish events in town and does nothing to hide his religion.  More importantly it’s obvious his family never made an issue about his sexuality. He embraces who he is because the people that surrounded him while growning up embraced who he is.  He seems to be a pretty happy, sweet, lovable guy.  His talent surpasses everything and it’s there that he excells.  This young man is a gift of enjoyment to us.  Let’s stop judging him and start enjoying him.  Aside from his fantastic voice and stage presence he’s just plain fun and in these serious times he seems to be just what the doctor ordered.

Comment by Harlean Zimmerman on 6/03/09 at 11:24 am

Let’s not be totally naive! Women do have fantasies about favorite male stars. The girls who voted for Chris were not just voting for him because he was a good singer or a devout Christian, for that matter. They liked to imagine him as a boyfriend(despite the fact that he is happily married!) It would have lost votes for Adam if he would have openly proclaimed his sexuality. I imagine many girls who voted for him thought he was,perhaps, bisexual—and hoped that it would be possible to bring him over to the straight “team”!! Adam was not obligated to proclaim his sexual preference anymore than straight performers are required to do this. As for being Jewish, he certainly was not hiding this anymore than he was hiding being gay. But it had nothing to do with his performance on “American Idol” and he was not obligated to announce his religion either!

Comment by Suedora on 6/03/09 at 4:20 pm

Everyone I know knew Adam was Jewish and gay and loved him, his talent is overwelming and this will make him the only WINNER of this years American Idol.

Comment by Sue on 6/09/09 at 2:44 pm

Thank God this talented man is free to sing like the angel he is. If he is Jewish he will keep the class 1/2 full at all times.

Comment by Miss RED on 6/09/09 at 6:22 pm

I meant if he was jewish he will always see the glass 1/2 full.

Guess what, when the glass is half full, it is also half empty.  I’m sure that’s too complicated for a pollyannish moron living in fantasyland.  I deal in reality.  You go ahead and deal in fairytaleland, just don’t expect me to give you my stamp of approval.  I also don’t deal in ignorance, so I won’t ignore you.  I know, I’m soooo negative.

Adam is gay and Jewish and should know about the vultures out there and not have pollyannas guiding him, if he is to have any chance to survive or even thrive.

It is none of my business if Adam is Jewish or gay.  But, being Jewish myself, I take pride in what my fellow tribesmen accomplish. 

Adam has a sense of style not seen in a performer in I don’t know how long.  Madonna doesn’t have the style and panache Adam has.  She has to create it, Adam lives it.  Every song he sang wasn’t just a song. It was a total performance, including lighting, staging, arrangement, clothing, body language, charisma, performance, great looks, and incredible pipes.  I love his “flamboyance.”  It is energizing and invigorating. He is a breath of fresh air.  I just can’t take my eyes off of him.  In an industry filled with people who are “stars” who have no voice to speak of, where songs have no melody, where generic is the word, here comes this guy who knows who he is, who isn’t afraid to be himself, and who gave us such incredible gifts each week.

I thought Adam was elegant during AI.  He could have had a big ego and been a braggart.  He stayed very humble and praised his competition.  He supported them and helped them be better. The man is classy, from his head to his toes.  He is a mensch. Adam is grateful for the opportunity AI has given him. He has worked hard to get where he is.  Even with all of the success and fame he has achieved, he has kept it in perspective and not let it swell his head.  He has been raised well, with good values and morals.

I think one of the reasons his sexual preference is so interesting to people is that for the first time for them, his “gayness” is not that important.  That may not make sense, but it does.  Adam has so much going for him, people have so much to love about him, they don’t care that he is gay. On a list of what characteristics Adam has, gay is the last thing anyone cares about.  Adam excites people. There is so much to love about him there is no time for hate because he is gay.  It just doesn’t matter, and for some people, this may be the first time it doesn’t matter. Adam isn’t ashamed of being gay.  He has pride being gay.  He is a joyous person.  People feel the joy, and they are glad he is happy.

Adam has a lot of sex appeal, both to men and to women.  A lot of women look at their tee shirt and jeans husbands, and they wish they had a man with more style and flamboyance. Fashion style is sexy in men.

In all of the seasons of AI, they have never had and never will have another like Adam.  He is a phenomenon.  A King is born.  Long live the King!

IAM TOLERANT NOT IGNORANT. ADAM IS THE AMERICAN CHOICE.IT IS ONLY ABOUT THE TALENT. HIS HEART AND BEAUTY IS JUST A PLUS.
jEWISH BELIEVE IN SEEING THINGS POSITIVE IN A NEGATIVE WORLD. ADAM HAS MEET EVERY CHALLENGE SO FAR WITH CLASS. i THINK THE MEDIA NEEDS TO FOCUS ON THE MASS CHEATING AND FIXING THE AERICAN IDOL VOTING SYSTEM THAT ALLOWED IT TO TAKE PLACE. ALL THIS NEGITIVE SLANDER IS TO COVER UP THE CHEATING AND SHIFT THE FOCUS ON ADAM. HE DID NOTHING WRONG. HE WAS JUST TOOOO PERFECT.

Adam is a amazing performer and singer.I did vote for him before the finale.I was disappointed he didn’t win. I always was a big fan of his.I don’t care about his sexuality or religion.I am glad he is proud of who he is and not ashamed to be himself. He will always be my American Idol.I wish him great success and can’t wait to get his Rolling Stone issue.

What is Adam Lambert more? Jewish, emo or gay? I think he’s a true American Idol and a very talented singer. Frankly speaking, he does not look gay to me, just a unique individual who will go far in the entertainment field. But if he’s a gay, then I really hope that it will do some justice to same-sex marriage rights in USA and, probably, open people’s mind.

I don’t think women care that he is gay.  He is a sexy guy. Women like a stylish man, and with Adam there is no limit to that. He is humble and sincere. I think Adam has a lot of what women would like to see in their men.  We are tired of plaid shirts and button down shirts and slacks.

he is gay I’m sure

There are many, many more gay and Jewish people around. Unfortunately, they not only have bigoted jerks in our Jewish community come down on them but even other gays. Recently Spanish gays forbade Israeli gays from being in the gay pride event in Spain.
