I put Adam in Johnny Weir in the same category. Successful, proud, forthright men who aren't afraid to be exactly who they are (ok Johnny was technically in the closet for awhile, but that's a personal call). slightly OT scroll warning.... For me the term 'alpha male' sets my teeth completely on edge, but that may be because the only time I've heard it in contemporary usage (IA past 70's TV or journalism) has to with 'The Game' and pickup artists, and the whole foundation of the theory is very misogynist IMHO and attempts to define personal power and charisma in an extremely simplistic and misleading way. /rant ITA rabbit HATE the term and all it implies  |

Adam on Entertainment Tonight Broadcast 4.25.12 Entertainment Tonight did a segment about Queen to promote their appearance on tonight on American Idol. They showed a clip of Adam singing with Queen at the EM’s and identified him as “Queen’s new singer" Read more: atop.proboards.com/index.cgi?board=daily&action=display&thread=841&page=1#ixzz1t9aOc86qI was really surprised that EW did this little promo on their show last night. They used to really have an "in" with Adam, and vice versa. They did the "Exclusive" on his IIHY photo shoot. Now, they run this little gem of "Queen's new singer, Adam Lambert". Do they not know what is going on with him these days? Did they report on Adam doing the EMA's last November? Have they had a segment on the new album? Just wondering WTF? And surprised that there hasn't been some media mention of that little statement. Guess everyone thinks this is old news? I just have to wonder if this was a good thing, you would think for those not keeping up with Adam, it would be very confusing. We live in the Adam bubble, but I think a lot of people don't know anything about what Adam has been doing since Idol. And now, "Queen's new singer, Adam Lambert" comes out on national TV entertainment coverage. My brain may not be fully engaged yet........................... I was wondering the same thing, and thought their piece was confusing when they didn't clarify that Adam was joining Queen for 4 gigs only, and that he had his own new album to promote. : Adam is Queen's new singer. I loved the ET piece! I don't think they talked about a tour at all. |

I didn't read that article as saying that Adam and Johnny are just alike, or that either are necessarily "screaming queens." I felt it was just saying that some in the gay community are uncomfortable with anyone who falls into any stereotype that the straight community might have--Johnny being delicate and graceful and wearing chiffon and ruffles, Adam wearing makeup and glittery fashions, screaming queens being, well, screaming queens. Adam is not effeminate, but he's certainly doesn't try to blend into the straight community with the hope that his gayness will be overlooked. I thought that was all the writer was trying to say.

Amen, sistah! You can see from my earlier post that I took the article in much the same way you did. |

Just depends on the situation and his feelings at the moment. Or the song he happens to be singing. Another reason we love him so much. |
