Many fans who have met Adam say that they are surprised at how tall he is. In fact, Adam says that people say that to him a lot. He's over 6 ft. tall, which is pretty tall. I wouldn't be surprised if Brian is about 6'3". He is noticeably taller than Adam is most photos where Adam is wearing regular shoes. You have to take in account that sizzling is from Germany. There is quite a difference in average height in countries and especially in the northern European countries average height is pretty high. As I already mentioned 185 cm (as Adam is) is just above average height here for men in the Netherlands. But we are the tallest in the whole world according to some sources. The average height of a man in the US is 1.77 cm so that's quite some lower. So if you compare height with your perception you have to take into account where you live and how that relates to the average height. To me Adam is not very tall, but that is also because a lot of my family are very tall (more around 1.90 m). I'm just around average height for Woman in the Netherlands, but sometimes feel very tall when traveling to other countries like in Southern Europe but also in Canada. Thanks for your perspective on height from a Northern European's eye, skaschep

No one would call him average here because they are taller in the Netherlands.

I've also wondered why Adam is considered tall...like THAT tall...he's not for sure...
My dad is 1,80-1,81, my brother is 1,85, one of my neighbours is 1,97 another neighbor 1,74-1,76 a friend of my brother is 1,93, another is below 1,70 a third like 1,80, my unkle is also like 1,90...other male neighbours are all at least between 1,80 and 1,85...so in average...yeah...rather tall...

I think it is sort of like because there are basketball players that are over 7' it does not mean that guys who are 6' plus are now considered short or average. It is what the standards (and there are standards) are and not about individuals who are taller. No one has said that Adam is taller than every man out there but he is considered tall by American standards and he is American and lives here. Tall, dark and handsome. And sexy, lol. If some view him as average height because they have taller relatives or they are taller in other countries that is fine but most people here are not going to view it by those standards.

I just wanted to give an example. Adam is of course not short, but he would be rather "average" here than tall...I would consider a guy tall starting 1,88-1,90

I've also wondered why Adam is considered tall...like THAT tall...he's not for sure.... I think it all comes from an interview. The reporter was surprised, that Adam is tall. For some unknown reasons, people, who haven’t met him, seem to think, that Adam is rather short. That’s what Adam said: People are often surprised, that he isn’t short. He himself said he isn’t THAT tall. Just over average.

He and Adam were standing side by side when they addressed the contestants. And Daughtry was pretty funny and surprised that Adam was towering over him. He made some snide comment about how tall Adam was and Adam just laughed.
