Have popped in a couple of times today just to look at the picture again. Wasn't sure. But now I think it's rather beautiful....as a piece of artwork. It's almost irrelevant that it's Adam; if it's looked on as his portrait I think it's inevitable that we will all have preferences for other looks and images. But as a portrait if a young beautiful man it's fascinating and interesting and lovely....with enough 'oddities' to make us stop to look and revisit it, whether we like it or not....when I for one, haven't done that for a while..... And there is something so vulnerable about the freckles, real or not.

Completely agree. I think of it as art with Adam as the canvas and I think we will better understand the artist's vision when we see more compositions. The artist plays with gender in his work and it could be pretty outrageous where he goes with this. The question in my mind is did the artist chose Adam or Adam chose the artist? If Adam chose, is it for a purpose? For me, this is something more to look forward to from Adam creatively. I wondered myself if Adam chose the artist or vice versa. Sutan's IG artwork was posted on the artist's site at the end of April I think. Wonder if Adam followed Sutan's lead....or not. Sutan first posted photos of his shoot back in Nov 2014, and identifies Franz as a favorite friend. I suspect they have all known one another for years. Can you image how fun it would be to be a part of an adventure like these shoots. Amazing.

This was posted earlier - article from Denver. It's a worthwhile read. www.kktv.com/content/news/The-Written-Ward---They-Will-Rock-You-428768793.htmlAdam bit...... To sing those songs they need a talented man at the mic. That’s just what they have in Adam Lambert. Whether you like his own music or not, it’s hard to deny that the man can flat out sing. The Queen catalog requires a skilled a versatile vocalist. When you listen to this version of Queen live, and you know the music – you sometimes wonder if Lambert will be able to hit that huge high note that everyone knows is coming. The answer, over and over, is yes! He has the range and he has the charisma to pull off songs written by and written for the ultimate rock vocalist. He’s not Freddie Mercury, but he is brilliant in his own way. Plus, there is an intangible he brings to Queen. I saw the band several times with Paul Rodgers and the shows were amazing! Rodgers is an incredible singer. So is Lambert in a different way. Rodgers is a contemporary of May and Taylor. Lambert came later. I was able to sit in the front row at a concert in a smaller in Las Vegas in July 2014. You can see a lot from that close. You can see pure joy on the faces of mature and experienced rock stars, watching and listening to a young man give their songs new life. There’s an energy that Lambert brings to the music and even to the band. It is compelling to watch and it is spectacular to hear. May and Taylor smile a lot during these concerts, both at and with Lambert. They seem to be having as much fun as all of us in the audience. Isn’t that how it should be?

First, the new photo is jaw-dropping. Whether jaw-droppingly good or jaw-droppingly bad is kind of irrelevant to me because I can't take my eyes off it. First photo in a loooong while that I have shown to a family member. Second, based on the artist's portfolio, I suspect there are more photos from this session that will totally blow our minds. I am considering putting a safety belt on my sofa. At first glance,when I saw this photo last night, I didn't even know who this was. But then I saw those lips.... Adam has an amazing countenance-with remarkable features. It is a work of art-and quite incredible what he can do to display so many different looks. Goes way beyond hair color or style, makeup or jewelry. He is truly an enigma. And we are continually fascinated! {Just the way he wants it, I presume!!}

I find it intriguing that some of the most diehard love-everything-he-does fans both here and on the rest of SM are not liking the image very much. To me, while stylized and embellished, this coloring and with freckles showing is the closest to raw real Adam that we have seen in a long time, maybe ever. What does it mean when not real is more desired than real? graciejane....you took the words right out of my mind!! So many here go on and on about liking Adam more "natural" and real....well this is far closer to 'natural' than anything else we have seen perhaps ever...lol...it is shocking... I think generally, the dark or the blonde is more flattering but I love this picture...it is one of the few of him that I would actually hang on my wall or use as an avi, to be honest. It is art rather than fashion...and invites huge levels of scrutiny and analysis. You could write a first class, publishable, academic paper on the theoretical underpinnings of this look, in relation to all his past looks....love the depth...perhaps Adam's depths here but more likely the artists....perhaps a collaboration. Who knows... Think Simulacra especially, perhaps emotional labour, aesthetic labour...

I too found the picture of Adam jaw-dropping, stunning, but it did take me by surprise. It wasn't the hair, lol he changes that often enough, and it wasn't the freckles, we've had glimpses of those before. It took me a moment before I realized it's the eyebrows and lashes. I've never seen an adult picture of Adam without darkened eyebrows and lashes. What a difference it makes. ILHSM
