The Most Famous Stars From American Idol
American Idol got quite a surprise from crowned hopeful and season eight contestant, Adam Lambert. Although he was a runner-up, he made music history being the first openly gay artist to reach musical success. His debut album, For Your Entertainment debuted at number three on the U.S. Billboard 200 chart. He also had chart success with lead singles such as; For Your Entertainment, Whataya Want From Me, and If I Had You. It made him an international hit. He has since released a second album and has appeared on numerous shows, including a recurring role on Glee.

When the FLD is in the headline not even bothering with the rest. Even if what follows is positive tough you have just negated my interest in anything else you might say. What would have been wrong with headline saying "...Lambert is a gifted showman and vocalist". #lesigh Mods feel free to delete if you've had enough of this discussion - understand, but spend a fair amount of time on public transportation today and was giving this some thought so here goes."He's no Freddie / There will only be one Freddie" At a purely literal level - no shit. Unless Freddie had an identical twin we don't know about, yes among 7 odd billion people on the planet there was only one. But then there's only one of me too, so your point... I'd take a guess that clearly stating the obvious is not their intent with those statements. A layer further down is seeming requisite acknowledgement and cultural cannonization of dead popular entities. Elevated far more in death than ever in life. All past sins forgiven and future foibles avoided. And yes agree that the structure and presentation of the show plays to this and perpetuates it (I am probably one of the only ones who would love to see them ditch the Freddie video bits, bring on a men's choir and take on the whole of Bo Rhap live - but then I've always found live people performing with video of dead people a bit creepy). And yes, Adam is a grown up and certainly knew what he was getting into. But then I get to what I read in the subtext of those comments - my own filter my own sensitivities which I happily own. The dirty underbelly. We call it tall poppy syndrome here in Oz (cutting them down is something we have down to a fine art). Don't dare get above your station because you're not worthy and we won't let you forget it at any point. The compliments and accolades all couched with the coda to ensure that place is never mistaken (as if "replacing" was the intent). How dare a mere not quite winner of a reality singing show (hence to constant refrain of AI runner up) think they could ever measure up. Oh yes you might be good and hell even better than we thought you might be, but hey you're no Freddie and don't you dare forget it. So for reviews scroll will be my friend and as Cassie said - what do I care what others think and say as long as I know he's amazing... Except I do. #carryon #bringitonLA |

But, (tongue in cheek - sarcasm) sometimes they're right, Adam's no Freddie.
