Come on guys! Don't be shy! We're all in this together! For the love of Adam!

hey madamimadam

well I searched new music for my iPod and looked on youtube .. a few weeks ago I already saw "For your Entertainment", found it real catchy but did not showed more intrest into it .. but 5 weeks ago I put it onto my iPod, listened to it on my way to work and loved it even more .. from then on my intrest for him growed and I began to do my research about him on the internet .. I began to learn more from him, found him so talented and I simply love him .. here's what I wrote to a fanpage, which asked fans to write down, what us fans love the most on him ~>

80. @Melainii - 1st I love Adam for his straight way to say things the way they are! He never whitewashes anything and his honesty is not for anybody but on this way he knows, which Fans stand by him ANY DAY! Then I love how open he is with his sexuality and that he admitted it and feels so comfortable with it! I am really glad, that he gives a freak on press or critic and just is doing his thing! He leads by example! I love his strong heart for Charity and the way he stands in for his Family and Glamily! Of course I love his Talent, his Voice, his sense for his Clothes and his Make-Up .. He is just a very pretty Man and he is sexy, sweet and his radiation knocks you out! I simply love him for the way he is and I am so glad for being a Fan of Adam!

I saw him with wwfm on our national music thing (TMF) and well, I was like: omg, I like him! and..I think I know him '' Then I read his name and I was like OOHYEAAH, cause a friend of mine send a picture of him while before that and for some reason I thought he was ugly en scary _O_ But since I saw wwfm I think; damn, the guy is hot.. I saw those same pictures again and I was like: .. Tamara, you're an idiot for finding him scary first!

So there, a fan was born and since then I listen to him..most of the time

@ this page and the previous. HOLY MOTHERFRIGGIN SIHTE HOLY MOMMA FREAKING CROW!!!!!!!!!

and chill out, dudes. i iz an new fan too. new-ish. *shrug*
first song I heard of his was Sure Fire Winners on an online custom radio website called Jango. and I was like WTF? whos singing that ???
and then saw 2012 ... was left mouth open over the song on the ending credits... and then FINALLY saw the FYE video and was like hooooooollllyyyyy

btw- is it wrong to get all kinds of awkward feelings from the knees up when I see adam with glitter/vampire fangs/ rhinestones on his face/ spikes/ leather pants/ huge belt buckles/ basically anything he does?? question asked strictly for educational purposes only

[Tammo]

Yeah, so, that was my story. (yeah, you can say I'm stupid for finding him scary at first, I will shame myself in a little corner)

But now..I love him so much...in every aspect..and I want to see him sooo freaking much live...but yeah, he said it was only the beginning in Holland, till half August in America and then hopefully here..so I heard that the tour was international.. Can I hope now ?

[Silvia]

Scary???

I never thought the nailpolish or makeup were outrageous in any way I never understood why they made such a big deal out of it.

Out of curiosity, Tammo - do you remember the first pic you saw of Adam that frightened you?

[carriefan06]

[LovelyWolf]

Scary???

I never understood why they made such a big deal out of it.

yea, me neither. it's like saying 'gaga is alright to do it, she's a woman' and then coming and saying 'dude, that's gayfreaky' when a male does it. =\

Out of curiosity, Tammo - do you remember the first pic you saw of Adam that frightened you?

Thing is, had there NOT been any male stars that have done it in the past in rock and pop, I could understand the "OMG" but there have been so many. It's not like it's never been done before.

Ooookay as I said in the other thread, I got into this only 2 days ago
I don't watch AI so the first thing I saw of him was his AMA performance. It was so funny to me that this would make such a scandal. Musically I found it rather messy and so I just didn't get the whole thing. Of course I know WWFM from radio and stuff but the sound is just too smooth for me, it's too flawless, polished, whatever you wanna call it. I guess that's just the way everything is produced these days but I don't like it.
Now for a reason unknown to me I youtubed him + "unplugged" 2 days ago, I like unplugged performances a lot. I think I saw the VH1 videos first. Yeah well and that was that. I even love his screeching and mumbling, which I absolutely despise in other performers (e.g. Christina Aguilera). All the sexual energy he shows as a stage person doesn't seem to be fake, it's just his natural way of performing, you have to love that.
His facial expressions are priceless. My favourite one is when the corners of his mouth turn slightly downwards while he's singing. Are there some good pics of this? I'd appreciate any relevant information

Not really, I do know which one, but I don't know of I can find it _O_ (and call me Tamara! ) and it didn't frighten me, but I was like: o_o'' ew normally I like these kind of guys, but him (but it was a 2 second look_O_ probably if I had looked longer I wasn't like that) I can't really explain it in English, but I wasn't scared to death or something.. but more like ; Okaay..right... whatev *doesn't look further*

But opinions can change, right? now I like him, to me the guy is perfect

I sure do! And I slap myself for my head too, for not looking at him the first time and search for him :'D But yeah, since February I ..almost listen to him alone :') Some other, but I go to bed with his cd and stand up (he is my wake up call ) Cool, I can say I'm going to sleep with Adam Lambert (sorry)

[MeLainii]

Kind of a long story. . . .

My mom loves watching TMZ at 6:30 every night and I always needed something to do before the Phillies games on at 7 so I got wrapped up into it too. Before the Idol finale, I heard some buzz about Adam Lambert but thought it was just the usual Idol person that gets hype who you forget about the next week (i.e. Blake Lewis). I hate American Idol and never watched it though knew enough from middle school and high school to know who was who.

I was incredibly bored during the summer before my freshman year of college. I run track and cross country for my college so besides training I had nothing to do. I am from an incredibly liberal household (and I am proud to say I am just the same way) and always had the mindset to give everything a fair shot. I decided to randomly YouTube search it and the first thing that came up was Whole Lotta Love on Idol and Cryin'. I was shocked to see those two songs performed on a show like Idol and was instantly blown away and my mother, father, girlfriend and later on sister (she moved out so it took a little later to show her the performances) were sold he was great. I ended up watching each performance and being shocked. The guy was good.

I always usually like everything music (except the Nickelback/Theory of a Deadman type fake rock and The Fray/Train/The Script/OneRepublic types) so it didn't really matter if it was different. Bought the CD, liked almost everything on it (only one I didn't like is Sure Fire Winners).

Regardless if he never sells a triple platinum CD or a diamond single, I will be a fan. I'm a bit different as I'm a straight, college-aged male but I even got my teammates to admit he's talented and even some to become fans of him.

Welcome Sarah! I believe the AMA performance made me an even BIGGER fan.
