Yes, a legend and and icon. He is a music icon, always in his own lane with phenomenal music. I wish his name was mentioned more when they speak about LGBTG+ icons. Please don't take this wrong, but I don't understand how Freddie Mercury is always mentioned (and I am definitely a Queen fan, so no shade), Lady GaGa, which I don't understand at all (but, yes, I am a fan, so again no shade) and others but Adam is not. They are mentioned so much more than Adam. Freddie was not out. I know, he couldn't be, he would be arrested. I get it. But Adam was out from the beginning and put everything on the line. He really puts his money where is mouth is, as they say. As I read someone else tweet, he not only kicked down the door for all of thos queer artists now, he broke the door-frame. So, imo, Adam is an icon and more so than Freddie Mercury, Lady GaGa, etc. and should be names more often. Please don't throw stones. Good points! I remember when Barbara Walters interviewed both Adam and Gaga on one special. Of course Adam was very open about his sexuality. She pushed Gaga about her ever being in a same sex relationship and got nothing other than some vague thing about attraction, lol. And when they did the Show Must Go On Documentary they talked about Adam being the first gay artist to top the Billboard album chart and Lyndsey Parker claimed that Freddie opened the door for Adam to do that. No, Adam accomplished that on his own in the US so give him his credit. Adam was not fronting Queen when he got that #1 and Freddie was never out. So Freddie was no more responsible for his #1 US/Canada album than Elton or George Michael or any other non-American gay artists. So interesting, that statement by Lyndsey Parker has always bothered me. I am glad to find someone who feels the same way! Exactly what doors did Freddie open for anyone? Nevermind Adam. I am not saying he wasn't talented, but opening doors is something completely different. It is sometimes infuriating. He is so humble he says he was part of a wave. Well, no, he was the tsunami. There might have been some small waves around before him. But it took Adam to move it along. It is getting old hearing how much Adam owes to everyone, when in reality, they owe it to him. Seriously, I was thinking some day there should be a statue of Adam Lambert at Stonewall.....Or, maybe someplace in LA that is similar. |
