He's done drag, there pics on the net. I think he's queer, just not making an issue bout it on AI. Remember this is the USA.

No I doubt he denies it. I saw that video, I think there's no doubt. But thing is he doesn't preach it or flaunt it, he just is, you know? A lot of things are too much for certain people. Besides he know talking about it would bring unwanted attention. That's what got Clay Aiken in trouble. He and Danny Norieaga don't brag about being who they are.

I prefer it when gays appear in a straight manner (like George Michael). But I thought America is too homophobic to embrace a gay American Idol! This makes me wonder: are the AI viewers more open and less anti?

Well, Idol has produced a popular gay icon.



He didn't win, but he is pretty big. At least he's sold a million or so records and is on Broadway.

Now, Clay is not the only gay person that has come out of Idol. Jim Verraros, from season one, came out and has done a few albums and also been in a few gay movies.

IMO, I think we are becoming more accepting of gay media figures. Especially thanks to Ellen, Rosie (though some despise her for her views), George Michael, and others. Not to mention that some of our top television shows feature real-life gay people (Top Model, Pussycat Dolls show, Project Runway, and Oprah (with Nate Berkus).

I've only watched a couple of shows. And he was the best that I saw in terms of singing, stage presence, and having his own style. I hope he does win.

I was checking out the performance by Adam on A.I. last night. This has 2 be the most talented cat A.I. has EVER had.



please don't tell me that you're serious neutral I wondered who was voting for this screaming, idiot. I thought people were just voting for him for his looks, def not talent. He makes my ears bleed. I think girls and boys just want to f*#k him.

Well, after seeing that video that was posted earlier, I don't think I could take him. He is good because he has been performing in clubs, but he really annoys me. I'm pulling for Danny. He probably won't win, but he'll probably be the next Elliot Yamin.

I don't vote on the show but I really believe this kid has talent. I don't know if he will sell any records but 4 this particular format, he is the best. Matt probably has the most talent on the show but he has proven that he lacks the intelligence 2 pick the songs that highlight his skills. He will be voted off soon.

Don't know which one "Danny" is. Is he the pseudo-Justin Timberlake sounding guy?

Ah, ok. I think I remember one of his performances. He had a good voice but his stage presence was just so, so to me.

Well, he's used to singing in church. He's not a stage performer...yet. Adam has the best stage presence of the group. I just can't stand to look at his "queen" self. lol

He would have been the perfect lead singer for a hair metal band circa 1988.



oh my god. i have been saying the same ting about him. he has such a hair metal voice it's not even funny. i love me some hair metal though so if he wins and releases an album i would probaby get it. maybe he can finaly bring it back.

Probably because he's too pretty , Kris isnt getting the credit he deserves. The guy can belt. Id rank em like this. Danny is waaaay overrated in my opinion

Adam
Kris
Matt (when he picks the right song)
Allison
Lil
Danny
Anoop
Scott
[Edited 4/2/09 7:29am]

To me, they are all different in their own way and will all have different types of careers. Adam would be similar to the male Lady Gaga, Kris would be a young John Mayer, Matt would be like Justin meets The Fray, Lil is a Keyshia Cole/MJB knock-off, Danny could be a country/pop singer, Anoop would appeal to the Hannah Montanna crowd, and Scott is Josh Grobin meets contemporary Christian.



the Hannah Montana crowd eek thats not even funny it's an insult

It may be, but it's true. He will appeal to the tween market very well.

Anyway, how is that an insult?

maybe because hannah montana has no talent and her disney run is almost up antway equaling the end of her career, and also because anoop is 21 years old and doesn't even have a disney voice. Are you serious his voice is more along the lines of brian mcnight not corbin bleu

Adam was great again last night.
