Lambert: 'Own Who You Are'

adam lambert is comfortable being himself

Some of the public has wondered about Adam Lambert's sexuality since the "American Idol" runner-up rocked the stage wearing guyliner, nail polish and tight pants -- and Adam loves to keep peeps guessing about him.

"It's a really, really cool thing to be able to show people that you can be yourself, and you should be proud of yourself, and you should own who you are and what you're about, and never make apologies for it," Lambert tells People magazine.

The glam singer has kept the focus on his music when people have tried to question him about his personal life, proving that he could be himself without divulging anything about his sex life. His message for the people who still ask about his sexuality is simple -- "calm down and keep speculating."

Adam, 27, says his comfort in his own skin can serve as an example to fans. "It feels really amazing to be able to try and pass that on to kids and young adults who don't have a role model like that," he admitted. "It feels great because I never had a role model like that."

The San Diego native added, "Conforming is not cool. Embracing who you are and what makes you different is actually what's really cool... The kids that are different and out there and expressive and are bold with those choices, those are the people that grow up to be people we all want to hang out with."

It’s pretty cool how you see more of Adam than you do Kris. Who cares about his sexuality? It’s his business not our business. It’s going to be like Clay Aiken when he announced it. Ooooh big shocker along with Lance Bass ooohh big shocker.

What an awesome musical talent this man is! We are so lucky to have been introduced to him through American Idol. What a gift he has given to the world with his incredible voice, artful showmanship, charismatic personality, and his graciousness. I can not wait to see where his career will take him and that is the only news I want to read about Adam!

Wow that Adam Lambert is the sexiest American Idol they have had in 8 years. Does the guy model too? I know he sings, dances and acts. I know he writes his own music. I am hoping to see him in movies soon.

Kris Allen who??? THE MEDIA IS BUIDLING UP THE HYPE JUST SO ADAM CAN STAY IN THE SPOTLIGHT SINCE THE LIBERAL MEDIA IS MAD THAT KRIS ALLEN, WON, NOT A GAY MAN WON.

THE LIBERAL MEDIA IS NOT BEING FAIR TO KRIS. WE SHOULD BE READING MORE ABOUT KRIS.

THIS IS A TRAVESTY.


- KEEP KRIS IN THE NEWS TOO

Look at the guy!!?? He’s freakin’ liza manelli from 40 years ago!!!

He’s too pretty to be “all man”.

The less we (joe public) know about what he does behind the bedroom door the better off everyone including adam lambert will be!! Enjoy his music, recognize his talent.. and leave the rest of his personal business, his own personal business!!!

And like another person posted, what about the coverage of the actual WINNER of the program? Guess since there is no question about his sexual orientation, it simply just isn’t newsworthy enough for extra to cover. I think that’s a form of “sexual descrimination” isn’t it?

Good grief, it’s so obvious that Adam’s gay that “coming out” would just be redundant. Does the media have no gaydar? All of Adam’s fans knew from day one, so buy a clue Extra and People!

To me there were two American Idols this year. Everyone knew that Adam had a wonderful career ahead of him no matter what, so I guess they gave the title to someone who was not already a superstar. Remember the year of Chris Daughtry/Taylor Hicks? Who had the number 1 hit first?

So, why keep digging about Adam’s orientation? Is it relevant to the World that we know about it? You know what we don’t really CARE… it’s really annoying that the MEDIA is buzzing about the freaking Orientation. Would it matter when it times for selling Adam’s CD? Would it infact a great deal to the people that would like to listen to his music? There are other things that is interesting about Adam than keep asking the same question all the time. Leave it alone!!!
All Adam’s want is to make music and hopefully to have hit, that is Adam goal. But media keeps talking about Adam, that means the media just LOVE Adam, but why want to know ONLY ONE thing. If you are male, we all know you and Adam have the same thing in common. You both have a wood pecker, Is that answer your question?

The only thing any of us should be interested in is Adam’s talent, which happens to be outstanding. He should have won American Idol, his chamelon ability to change his style and songs were unbelievable. Kris is a very nice young man, but even he said it should have been Adam. No matter, Adam will have a career that will take him to the top of the charts, look forward to seeing him on the Grammy’s in the future.

I am confused by just looking at this guy! I think perhaps God was tired when he created this guy so he….messed up. Ooops, mixed up, I meant.

Adam Lambert! Cool guy. And so talented. I like how he’s so open-minded and articulate esp. during interviews. He’s a good speaker too, lots of quotable quotes right there… :D
