<p>Haters, please, I beg of you - just walk on by.</p>
<p>Ok, until now I never understood why females cried/screamed/fainted when they watched Elvis, The Beatles, etc. Thanks to Adam Lambert, now I TOTALLY get it. I’m WAY too old for this, but he seriously makes my heart hammer in my chest just watching YouTube videos. That face, those incredible eyes (with OR without the guyliner - I’ll take either), that shiny black hair (in any style), THAT VOICE. Sigh <em>and</em> swoon.</p>
<p>Oh my ra, yes! I even went to the AI concert to see him, how sad is that? I wasn’t going to go, but after seeing youtubes of the Portland concert, I gave in. Resistance is futile, no? I’m having fun with my obsession.</p>
<p>I totally understand the gay crush, having been around the theatre community, in one way or another, for my entire life. If you love Adam Lambert, you’d adore Cheyenne Jackson.</p>
<p>I have been watching some of the videos from the concerns on YouTube. Even though the quality varies, I still love to watch Adam. I think he is the best Idol ever. I doubt anyone will ever be a better Idol.</p>
<p>lol. I mean tears streaming lol. Y’all have to realize that in a rancher’s world AI means something completely different. Oh, Gosh. I think I may have damaged some innards. <em>Prepare for cheap joke.</em> I DO wonder what those “stud” fees would be. ;)</p>
<p>You are not alone! I never really watched American Idol before, but happened to catch Adam’s audition in January and was hooked! I was wowed by his voice and fascinated by his look. Couldn’t wait each week to see what he was going to sing. Since the end of the season, I’ve been keeping busy watching his Youtube concert and pre-Idol performances. I’ll be going to the concert in Chicago on September 2nd. My family? They think I’m nuts. I figure it’s a pretty tame obsession. I think Adam will end up being the most successful Idol.</p>
<p>I have never had any desire to see an AI concert, but I’d go in a minute to see Adam. I think I heard his version of Mad World in an ad for a new fall show. I’m sure he doesn’t get a dime but it’s nice to hear.</p>
<p>Both my DH and I were in awe of Adam this year. For DH’s birthday we got tickets to the AI concert in San Diego. We had so much fun and Adam was Amazing! The kids said we were “losers” for being so into it but we had such a great time. Adam is truly a star in my book.</p>
<p>PrimetimeMom, I successfully converted my 19 yr old d to being an Adam fan. I think it was Starlight that won her over (she loves Muse). We went to the concert together and had sooooo much fun. DH just shakes his head in amusement at our fangurly ways.</p>
<p>I hadn’t followed American Idol in years, but Adam Lambert definitely sucked me in this year. </p>
<p>I couldn’t tell the difference between Kris and the two other guys who were just like him until they got kicked off. Then at least I knew which one Kris was, but I still couldn’t tell the difference between him and, basically, anyone at open-mike night at the coffee house.</p>
<p>Unfortunately, my powertexting skills are not up to the standard set by 12-year-old girls.</p>
<p>This was just the second year I watched American Idol and the first time I felt totally vested in who would win…voted for Adam lots of times. Also learned how to download itunes so I could get his studio version album. I am obsessed…his music, utube videos, and fan discussion groups make me happy. Yes I’m way to old for this…but he makes me feel young again. He’s not only an amazing talent but a beautiful person, too.</p>
