who gives a damn about what annie duke thinks

Oh, wow, I learned more than I ever wanted to know about the problems with gay stuff - but she is so right on about this - what is the answer? I just don't know! But she has got a point - thank you, lady M.D. - wow, this is powerful!!!

Is there anything else can you talk about Adam Lambert other than his orientation? We don't care about his sexuality. This does not apply to what Adam wants to do in the music industry. It's irrelevant to tell you the truth. Nobody cares, this is something that nobody else business but Adam himself. So what if his flamboyant, wear black polish, put eyeliner. It's 21st freaking century. Adam wants to show he is passionate about fashion let him be. There's a lot celebrity are that way these days. Nobody ask them about their sexuality. They should ask Whoopie Goldberg is she is gay, she sure seems gay to me, she dreses like one, she act like one. That is stereo type isn't it? At this point the United States MEDIA, especially the NOSEY one should remains mind your own business about the orientation of any person all over the world period. This is something the media should not make a Big deal about. Is that the only news you guys can care about? Why don't you investigate how the HELL The Arkansas came out with 38 millions votes in 4 hours, the votes came there is bigger than the population itself. Oh even shocking it's larger than the population in California alone.. California population is 36 million. The entire Arkansas State population is only 2.8 million, and Conway is approximately 50 thousand only. So that is interesting isn't it. I know it's old news but hell, this is something should investigate. Why not go to American Idol Producer and pound them the question is the American Idol winner is fixed? I bet it is, why do you think they don't want to reveal the percentage of each contestants votes? Don't you think the AI producer did infact wants to add a little drama to the finale? Why America never get the right winner every finale, it seems that most of the winner aren't that good of a singer. Also, on the side note, when did America votes for a contestants that forgot the lyrics singing the coronation song, and the judges kept silent about it? Yeah Kris forgot the lyrics watch the video again and see it for yourself. http://vodpod.com/watch/1640131-kris-3rdset-coronation-song?pod=fansite My point of this whole thing is .. you are so interested about Adam sexuality which is irrelevant to begin with, we could careless about that. This is a questionable Kris messed up the song yet he get praise left and rigth. Kris admit it himself during Larry King interview by Ryan Seacrest that he forgot the lyrics, and he felt that he should have voted off a few times. Why the good singer always get voted off most of the time? Do you think the Producer had an eye on Kris all along to keep him going, since they have no idea who can compete with Adam's talent? So, ofcourse they have to come out with strategy like, let's make Kris as the guy next door, Christian guy(which Kris made an indication that he won not cuz of the Christian votes, common if u are a true Christian you should say suchs a thing)and he is likable. Better looking than Danny Gokey. No offense to Gokey's fans, I'm afraid that Geeks looks doesn't appeal to most of the fans and when it comes in selling the records. Danny Gokey is a little irritating during the show. So the schemes was, then we have a reason why Adam lost, cuz the Gokey's votes went to Kris plust both of them are Christian, then there's this issue with Adam orientation, and Adam is declare a winner since the beginning of the Season and the judges favorite, plus Adam has a lot of experienced already compare to Kris . Why not give the title to Kris, since Adam doesn't really need it, he is already a rising star. It will be more realistic and appealing to the public eye if Kris won, instead of Gokey(lets' eliminate Gokey). I believe the producer reading all the blogs or his family what we say about all the contestants. Besides Kris is making a momentum, and people are in for a Shock of the results. Which it works perfectly. So.... the question remains why Adam lost? Is it really about his sexuality or was it truly rigged? We are smart people we know talents and who works hard there during the entire season. We know Adam's performance are flawless the whole time. Even Kris Allen knows it, that title should go to Adam. Why aren't the media press that issue to the American Idol producer. Tell them that the public has the right to know about the votes. We want them publicized the results and how many votes came in from Eash States. Also, how many votes or even text came in exacly per minute in Arkansas. That is the story you should be reporting to us. NOT Adam's sexuality. What he does behind closed door is his business, not mine, not you, Especially NOT the MEDIA. It is unpolite, and ridiculous to ask that silly question to someone. May I remind you that is harrassment!!

The real reason Adam lost is.. so the best "real" man could win.. It is as easy as that!!

Should read that Adam Lambert's Mom is 'gagged' by American Idol - but it doesn't change the message - that this Drake-boy stuff needs some re-thinking, some guy maturity, some Mom advice, and some medical sense. American Idol should not put any parents under 'gag order' - parents are there to advise their kids, to help their kids with business opportunities and life decisions or choices - even Drake ones - even sexual gender ones. But the gender is XY = MALE here = you can't change that even with a sex change operation or 'drag' clothing. God doesn't make mistakes. And Adam Lambert's first job, to the fans that voted him second even with all the photos, rumors, and gender hopping & fence-hanging, is that ALBUM before he's Freddie Mercury 'toast' so-to-speak. And is Drake advising him on song choices - unless it's Keith Urban's 'Stupid Boy?' Stupid boy...you can't fence that in/Stupid boy...it's like holdin' back the wind? Obviously Adam Lambert is eye-candy, with charisma, singing talent, charm, 'nice person' etc., but is he going to live out even the next decade as healthy guy to even once really 'kiss a girl'? It's not a taste test. Simon Cowell doesn't care after that first platinum, less competition for the Hollywood divas. Every sexual flirtation, exchange of secretions, opportunity, attraction, etc., comes with the 'baggage' of epidemiological risks: infectious diseases, cancer risks, pregnancy for women, or tissue damage for same-sex couples - those genital/buttock mucosas (that look so good in designer jeans) were not designed histologically or secretion-wise, lubrication-wise, etc., for what they are being used for in gay/lesbian relationships. Again, to borrow 'stupid boy' lyrics:You stupid boy/Oh you always had to be right/And now you've lost the only thing that ever made you feel alive. Keith Urban was there for a reason on the American Idol finale, but he sang the wrong song - yes KISS A GIRL but you can't be a STUPID BOY.

Adam Lambert is going to lose poker game no. 2 if he continues ‘making it’ with Drake when he should be inking songs with Katy Perry who’s dreaming of a rocker wedding - not exchanging saliva or songs lyrics with outted Adam Lambert - even Madonna chooses to collaborate with young ‘innocents’ rather than over-used outted gay singers who can't keep their tongues from making out with the guys in the band (she's into health fads & foods, not infections). One gay-guy couple can pay a physician's office rent for years with their monthly medical complications: rectal herpes, rectal cancers, hemorrhoids, rectal incompetence (you leak stool which smells and stains those cool rocker pants), not to mention the bad H-word (HIV) - none of this 'glorious' stuff does anyone speak about - it's all the 'right' to be 'star-crossed lovers' (didn't anyone learn any Shakespeare in that Mt Carmel High?), and not to conform or ‘compromise’ that you have an urge that has to be gratified. We all have urges, tastes, and temptations - but most of them we are not supposed to act on - and that's being 'smart' - about drugs or bad sex. Being ‘cool,’ and being an ‘idol’ means being healthy, happy, and not doing what’s in that picture just to get ‘exposure’ - and supposedly that guy was drunk and someone else's 'lover' - what trash for a photo-op. And who pasted these on the web? Some say that Adam Lambert did. And some 'conforming is for heath reasons, ie vaccinations - and if you think that American Idol health insurance is going to cover Drake boy-toy -- think again, and will Allison Iraheto ever look at you in the same 17-year-old girl dreamy rapture way again with those eyes? There are some pictures of you and Allison on the web during your song, and huging afterwards, that are so beautiful (one with like a 'halo' around you and her) - and you are destroying that beauty & memory = the good Idol v the bad Idol. Eyeliner and black nails don't make a rocker, or a guy; being a guy makes a guy - that means having some 'guy sense,' taking some responsibility for that beautiful male body. And your 'gender' is male - attractive male as KISS pointed out - it's no compromise to be that to the fullest - and it's the healthy choice. Further, you live in LA and did you NOT learn anything from Farah Fawcett's anal cancer ‘mess’ and film? - that comes from anal intercourse with some guy (probably) who had asymptomatic, but infectious, HPV disease. HPV (human papillomavirus) disease = where the women are getting vaccinated against cervical cancer (and some anal) HPV types, but not the gay guys - and you won't get this from a girl, but you could get it from Drake boy. The women are not going to end up like Farah Fawcett - but the guys still will - and the anal surgeons are counting on this future 'bounty' in LA - they haven't stopped that training program - and all rectal cancer is HPV, and even a high percentage of oral cancers. Do you ever think of your cancer risk? It's difficult to ask any male partner about HPV disease – most are just asymptomatic carriers and there's no good reliable easy-to-use bathroom test for this so far - Drake or anyone else would have to be a 'virgin' to assure you on that point - Drake doesn't look like any first-timer – he’s well-oiled, greased, and testosterone-candy-coated = oozing gay male from every pore. Your parents, and especially your lovely mother with the black arm/wrist guards to show her rocker support - who is 'gaged' by American Idol - wants you healthy, happy, with a condo, a car that Drake isn't borrowing, and hired by Queen - a group that lived Freddie Mercury's HIV-related medical complications (and bills) for years and they aren't going to 'buy' or 'sign' that again; you just crossed yourself off that list with Rolling Stone. Ask Mary Austin how Freddie Mercury died - she's the person, not Freddie's gay lover, that 'Love of My Life' is about - the song that everyone wanted you to sing on American Idol (even Simon Cowell - you suggested the best songs for Kris Allen, but not the 'genius' songs for yourself for some reason?) - to make you see the parallels here in the storylines; to make you realize the obvious - that you shouldn't repeat the Freddie Mercury story in Guys & Dolls just because you have his rare high several octave tenor voice and personal charm. Freddie Mercury's story is there to warn you. Rectal mucosas are not designed for sexual intercourse (regular or even one-time use), or discharges or infections hetero- or homosexual, as they don't have the defensins that the other mucosas have, ie vaginal, even oral. Microbicides are not going to protect gay intercourse couples from herpes, HIV, HPV, etc when they can't salvage or protect heterosexual intercourse, and they were designed for vaginal mucosas, not rectal. So you are being a 'girl' without the protections – some rock hunk. The rectal mucosa is a different 'epithelium' and the male physicians are not going to tell you this to forgo their office rent. Could you not be so stupid please - you're making a woman MD very sad? Basically no gay-sex is really 'safe' sex, that's the irony of all this gay-marriage stuff. Heterosexuals fall for the wrong opposite sex person, gay/lesbian-challenged choose to out their fantasies - but the reality is that it's all anatomic, physiologic, and genetic - your gender is XY (you are into guys like others are into drugs or booze - we all have our 'demons' - even Mel): your challenge is to live the GUY in you without the COMPROMISES of illness, disease, and rocker stupidity - to keep the 'hot' stuff in the pants for someone like Katy Perry - or maybe she's too much of a challenge for a guy like you? Your hand, your call, your cards to play.

he didnt lose because hes gay he lost because the show wanted a suprise everyone thot that adam was gonna win so the show made kris the winner thats how it is every year

The reason that Adam Lambert should 'explain' is to put an end to these photos showing up on the Internet at any site - regardless of his 'sexuality' - which is probably attractive manly as KISS pointed out - or glamm rock preferences - that's not what American Idol is about. This is not a different form of music art - even for a record cover. These are photos that would/could be possibly used in a medical office setting sex education context - to tell kids, adolescents and twenty-somethings what NOT TO DO - unless they want to pay a disease price or place second on American Idol - instead of deservedly first. Cyber-stalking Adam Lambert with bad photos, even so- termed 'art forms,' with scarves, coats, and piles of theatrical make-up applied BADLY (not like Adam or American Idol does anything in real life) - is not ok or 'normal.' Adam Lambert, and Kris Allen, are now under contract to American Idol - and if AI wanted these photos, or some of Adam Lambert's less manly youtube moments out there - they would have put them out there on the American Idol site. You don't have Kris Allen's bachelor party photos on the web, or his college photos, although they were probably tame and wholesome Christian - and he has better quality friends most likely. It's not fair to Adam's friendship to Kris Allen, their respective families, or Adam Lambert's fellow Idols. These art photos, and the dredging up of indiscretions that they represent, need to stop - so that everyone can concentrate on the future for these talented individuals, and not this guy showing up at some show in drag to sit in the audience with his tongue out. Kids all want to be the next American Idol, and will try this for experience or 'exposure' as fearlessly as Adam Lambert did - not thinking about the consequences - career or disease. And in today's HIV-AIDS, Hepatitis C, and Herpes world of saliva secretion disease transmission - this is not a good thing to emulate. That kids would see these photos on the web is not ok, kids deserve innocence and to think the best of their Idols. American Idol should end the photos, and the poker chances for Adam Lambert will improve.

it's just an art form. i'm married w/kids and only see 2 very pretty non threatening faces in photo. Open mind folks. Adam has been a performer for years the photo is just a form of performance art,

This refers to the people who thought ADAM should have lost because he is gay make me sick. Get a grip and and accept things the way they are. I'm sure you got your hang up, it's just not known. Adam can blow and yes I said blow Kris away. I am not gay/lesbian but I know good talent when I hear it. We'll see where Adam is in a year and where Kris is.

Adam Lambert doesn't owe anyone an explanation of his behavior or his preference. He is a damn singer! An entertainer. His life is his and it belongs to no ones business other than his. Get a grip people! He is a winner!

Think that at some point Adam will have to explain the photos, not that people don't grow, do fearless things and later regret their misinterpretations and misuse = like any nude actor/actress photos or even Miss California's 'risque' modeling photos (Donald Trump's word). All the other photos of Adam are so different; his eyes are closed in these like he can't bear to see what he is doing and there's no hugs. Adam Lambert knows that 'probably' this cost him dearly in the final AI vote - with the Christian 'right.' However, these are glammed photos - nothing natural about this relationship (this isn't love like he mentions for Allison Iraheta - their photos are totally REAL and maybe he'll want to impress her more hopefully as she's worth it) - ? for money as the person who put them on the Internet most definitely got paid for them. These are not normal relationship photos, nor appropriate relationship anything for AI fans - Simon Cowell I'm sure didn't like them and he tried to work with Adam a lot. Adam Lambert had some jobs in LA, and associates, that I'm sure he is re-thinking - or his Mom is for him. Read in an interview that she is moving to LA to be 'around' for her son more - ? why she wasn't for the last 8 years? You don't send a child to LA to grow up in theatre or to get singing/entertainment experience in burlesque clubs. I don't think that Adam Lambert will return to the Zodiac Club, and I think that any future contract will have stipulations about such stuff not happening again. Lastly, getting AIDS, as Freddie Mercury found out, is no fun, and Adam has found new friends and more wholesome day-job opportunities with AI - people who don't want to see him this way. Adam wasn't singing like Kiss in his duet with Kiss - no tongue of his was out with paint. Whoever the guy is in these photos, he was totally taking advantage in publishing this rot - not a friend for keeping as any parent would say. In the book The Kite Runner, the Amir boy has a brotherly friendship with his servant's boy Hassan - who turns out to be his brother from his father's relationship with the servant's wife - and this Hassan teaches Amir about love - that it means that you don't hurt someone even if their indiscretions ask you to do so - even when you can take advantage, a true friend does not. Adam Lambert would do well to read the book - love needs testing in the crucible of life, love is kind, love is discreet, and love means letting someone go and have their chance - these photos took a bit of that chance away. Hopefully, as any parent would say, the lesson is learned - not that we all don't try to get experience in the wrong way and from the wrong people at times. LA is hard rock.

This picture makes me want to vomit, so glad he lost.

Heck yeah! Adam Lambert lost on American Idol because he is a fag/queer/fudge packer. I am glad to see that America is not allowing the very loud mouthed minority/actor/actress tell them how to think. A perverted sex act is a perverted sex act...PERIOD!!!

I think a contributing factor was the sound mix at the Nokia theater on the final performance night. It was almost impossible to hear Adam over the back up. That has been corrected on the videos on itunes. You should download and compare. The difference is obvious.

Actually, it may have been a calculated move for Chris to win the contest. Adam has been doing night clubs and theater for almost eleven years. If you watch his demo reel, he has performed just about every genre of music. Although some may assume he has this androgynous altered ego thing about him -- (which may prove favorable on many fronts), it seems to be a variation on his many themes to appeal to the few, proud, brave, and individuals who know good music when they hear it (regardless who is doing the singing). In short, it would have been a disadvantage to post Adam under contract for GAWD knows how long with Clive Owens. He has outlived product placement and deserves to have a bit more freedom when it comes to finding the right place for himself in a very cruel business. Without question, Adam will continue to move forward in his career and here is wishing him all the best! Well, that's my two cents which is likely not worth a plugged nickel.
