http://new.music.yahoo.com/blogs/realityrocks/236323/will-adam-lamberts-rolling-stone-interview-hurt-or-help-his-career/ he is still talented. no one can get that away from him. he is a cool dude. during the idols season i am not much of a fan of adam, but i can not denythat he is a good singer. he has a good voice but not my type. maybe it was shocking to others that kris won, and some said the votes were affected because of his sexuality. but for me gay or straight he is talented. now he is the one who told everybody that he is gay and embracing it. he is not going to lead us all on trying to portray not when he is really a gay person. very honest. not like clay aiken who only admited he is gay last year. do you think it was a good move?

It really didn't surprise me that Adam Lambert revealed that he was gay. Honestly I could care less if he is or not. The main point is he is very talented, I enjoy his music, his singing, he's got a great swagger, he might be rude or hard to work with according to the press, but still guys got an awesome voice. I really liked how he recorded and performed the song live of "Mad World". I watched Season 8 American Idol from the beginning to end. It didn't matter to me if he won the American Idol or not because obviously he is beyond it and a lot more talented than Kris Allen. I'm looking forward in buying his debut album when it comes out.

i like his version of Play That Funky Music, i love how he puts its good groove in the song. the song is nice already and he gives it a touch of a good way to revive the song. he never fails to dress up like a star. he has a star quality from the start. thanks for the response

I thought it was pretty obvious. When I saw him for the first time, I thought he must be gay. And I was right...I don't think it will affect his career too much.

for me it was pretty obvious too but i dont like to jump to a conclusion for he said he is with theater. and guys at theater mostly acts that way. but i think it was good for him to say it out in the open than fooling his fans specially his female fans. thanks for the response

He is gay...finally he admitted it to the general public. At least he is not hiding in the closet anymore. Good for him. He can now live the life he wanted.

Wow,to be honest,i am a little surprised to hear the news.But i think it really doesn't matter if he indeed is gay,it is not a big deal,why did someone make it a fuss?He really is a talented guy,he has an amazming vocal style and great singing techniques,i like him. Actually ,i think he should have won American Idol,and now i think this maybe the reason why he lost.What a pity .Juat wish him a great success.

entertainment industry really always want to make a simple matter into a fuzz. they dont know if it will break or make a person. but i think adam lambert is very talented enough to prove that being gay is not going to stop him on making his way to stardom. well even kris himself knows that adam deserves to be the american idol lol. thanks for the response

Hi roniroxas, I agree, Adam has the most awesome singing voice, and I was so surprised that he didn't win American Idol. I sure hope he wasn't passed over just because of his preferences. As far as Clay Aiken coming out when he did, I've always been a bit curious, but whether it was a good move or not, I have no idea. I'm glad you posted this interesting info. By the way, "Ring of Fire," sung by Adam,is the most beautiful version I've ever heard. His octive range is like no other I've heard.

adam is a very talented person. during the idol season he manage to bring the house down. but i think the votes got affected when some of the fans sees that he has this gay thing. this can make or break him. but i just hope for him being honest is a good move. i never liked clay aiken, lol sorry for that. he changed a lot since the idol.

It might hurt his career a little bit. Only because now all the teen girls that were lusting after him will be disappointed lol. I think it is good he came out with it right away and is happy with who he is. I didn't watch the show but from what I understand most people thought he was gay the whole time.

this news ca make or break him. but as far as i am concern there are still fans out there who is very particular if their adored person is a gay or a straight. for me he is a godd singer he is talented. so for me it doen not really matter if he is gay. i hope he can prove the world that being gay does not affect a persons career. thanks for the response

I am with you, what does it really matter that this Lambert is gay? Doesn't keep him from singing any better, even though I have never heard him. I saw this story on yahoo news yesterday, and I was like so what? But then again, I agree with your latter statement too, at least he didn't wait forever to come out of an invisible closet like Clay Aiken did. I mean come on, we all knew Clay was gay when he was competing. I think he had just realized it himself last year, although we all knew it way before hand. This will definitely affect Lambert's career, but as far as whether that will be positive or negative remains to be seen. There will be opposition from people who hate gays/lesbians, but also there will be support from the gay/lesbian community. One will have to find out in tme which is stronger.

positive or negative publicity is still publicity. thats what show business always think. they like that people talk about that person not thinking whether it will make or break a person. adam is talented. i still remember when clay was the guest of tyra banks and she ask if clay was gay and clay refuse to asnwer that question. the only person that clay fooled was himself lol. thanks for the response

I am not really a fan of Adam Lambart... and during the second time that i saw him... i immediately thought that he is gay... but he is very talented... and can sing his heart out... i just don't like the glam rock type that he is... i am more of the subdued type like Kris Allen...

Hi roni, to me it doesn't matter if someone is of either gender, that is no the point in any of these talent contests, it is the talent as you say that counts and if someone is a worthy winner only of one type then they should win, it should never affect the judges decision in the matter. I do believe that many people who that way have won contests but once again it is down to the judges and people who vote as to who does win..I have neveer heard of Clay Aitkin but does it really matter about his personal life? I don't think so...LoLo

some of the fans specially the teen-agers really care for that. some of the reporters of adds and tv wants to break this people into pieces, so they just bring godd news or bad news. well adam on the other hand admitted it freely to the public. for me he is really talented it does not matter if he is gay or not. but about clay... i dont like him lol. thanks for the response little

This won't hurt his career. The kid is talented. People like him and him being gay will only turn away his fans that don't like that. But still. I think he made the right choice. There was a lot of speculation going around. so its not like people didn't know. He's fine. And ill listen to him even though he's gay. It really doesn't matter to me. Happy Mylotting!

admitting he is gay on the early part of his career is a wise move than admitting it later on when he is that big star already. a downfall of thise big stars happen when they admit something late to their fans. i agree when you said that some of his fans will turn away but the talent is still there and when tehy hear him singing again i know it will drive them back to adam. thanks for the response and the best response for you xom

Well, I thought that it was really obvious. I mean, it's been months after hos picture scandal (when he was making out with the guy.) Wow. Maybe it was just me ahead of my time? I don't know. Maybe it's because I used common sense. But I'm not going to say anything about the comments that mention him wearing eyeliner. Many guys do. And they are pretty straight. But yeah, glad it's out there that out there even thought most people already knew. Maybe he's just "coming out" again for the people in denial. I remember when I first saw him, I thought he was very pleasing to the eye. Well, until I found out that he was gay, but he's still really cute and talented. Just because he's gay doesn't mean I'm not going to support his music, if I like it.

actually i am not a fan of adam, but i thought he was the one who will win for he has the whole package. i good looking person, with his own style of presenting himself, a good way to sing songs he is a person who is an american idol quality. i saw photos of him making out with a guy but i really dont care about that for i think he is a good singer. yes with the eye liner and the nail polish a lot of guys do that. i am a singer myself and i see a lot of guy memebers of bands who do that. that is no longer shocking. thanks for the response cilly

Actualy, i dont know the person you are talking about but from the discussions i found he is a male singer who found to be gay. Public is always curious to know about the personal life of celebritiesg, and such news make them more popular. Well, we should see the real talent inspite of anybody's sexuality. As we are not having any physical relation with that person ,we are just bounded to his melodious voice, so let it be. We should be tensed if a news comes that he is having some problem in his throat. Happy mylotting!!!
