Adam Lambert stirs up ‘Idol’ admiration with glam rock performances [video]

From VoteForTheWorst.com

”While we didn’t want to hurt his chances in the competition by scaring the fundie frauen away from him, Adam Lambert apparently has tons of photos of himself making out with some dude online that were posted on our message board.”


”Adam, look. To me, that was in a totally different league to everything else we’ve seen…. Whether it’s your stage experience that you had before, you looked comfortable. And to make Michael Jackson work, you’ve got to be over the top and you’ve got to be comfortable with it….”

From day one that I saw you, I loved you, because I think that you are one of the most current artists we’ve ever had on this show. It’s like a combination of Steven Tyler meets Fallout Boy meet Robert Pattinson from ‘Twilight’. It’s like My Chemical Romance — I’m sayin, dude, you got it goin’ on.
