Crap. I was going to tweet them to suggest Adam, but apparently they've already decided.
That was a quick contest. Maybe I'd be happy for Matt Kemp if I knew who he was. LMAO I was thinking the same thing. Must have a lot of fans on twitter to win a contest that lasted about 20 minutes ;D |

From Gawker: gawker.com/5910970/adam-lambert-as-faggy-as-he-wants-to-beAdam Lambert: As Faggy As He Wants To Be by Rich JuzwiakAs tied up as we are in waiting for legislation to catch up with our humanity, being a gay man can be supremely liberating. This is especially so on a behavioral level. (I assume this is similar for queer people of all and/or no genders, but I'm just speaking from experience here.) To be at peace with your queerness is to allow yourself to do whatever the fuck. We're not really expected to adhere to the heteronormative confines of masculinity, so why should we? Getting over the fear of being called a faggot really opens up the possibilities of how you represent yourself – you can be as masculine and/or as feminine as you are and/or see fit at a moment's notice. We still have to mind our environment (so, like, ease up on the lip liner in Uganda), but given the right place, we are freer than most.
Adam Lambert's consistently electrifying second album, Tresspassing (out this week), is that freedom set to music. It's freer than anything I've heard since the drag queen Sylvester disguised himself all over again in baritone at the conclusion of his "Dance (Disco Heat)." Though pummeling with house beats that by now have had their historical gayness ironed out of them by mainstream acceptance, Trespassing's tracks are largely more slinky than your typically buzzing and blaring Euro-radio fare. They often are stripped down, effete. "Kickin' In" recalls the unfairly ignored cowbell disco invocations by Pharrell Williams on Madonna's Hard Candy. The title track references the entire phenomenon of non-disco groups going disco — it overtly signifies Queen's "Another One Bites the Dust" in limber, pronounced bass line and pre-chorus steam-whooshing. It's smitten with musically ambiguous sexuality.MORE ... Really not crazy about the angle and spin though it is favorable. It's such a narrow narrow interpretation. I wish the reviewer had linked to some of the tracks. It's a very positive write-up and basically a stamp of approval on the album. Naturally, they are looking at Adam through their perspective and talking to their readership. In this case, gay is very much part of the story and sometimes even the focus. This is pretty awesome, imo  |

I loved it. They have wholeheartedly embraced Adam as one of their own and acknowledged him as a crazy talented artist to boot. A far cry from the skepticism and scorn heaped upon him in the past.
I think it's a breakthrough. |
