Two mature women are so smitten with Adam Lambert that they wrote a book professing their amore. "Juneau" and "Xena" are professional, highly educated, married women who never saw their crush on the "American Idol" rocker coming. So, what is it about Adam Lambert? Watch me  below on FOX News to find out:

Having seen only part of Adam Lamberts performance on the Music Awards show several weeks back it’s my belief there is NOTHING to be seen in him. I could only bear watching 15 seconds of it by the way and that was a stretch.

I’m with you Mary U.  I know a few older women who absolutely love Adam.  I don’t see it at all. I find him annoying to say the least.  In a few years I believe he will be a has been due totally by Adam’s lack of maturity and burning his own bridges.

@Mary Miller 6 —-> What you think is a sign of "aging". Lots of people your age are still young at heart and that is the sign of knowing how to live , a sign of longevity.  Aren’t you all taugh at the church to be humble, tolerant, love, peace, forgive and esp. forgive yourself first? Have you ever think what the effect of your negative attitude toward people around you.

Bernadette,  I am all for being young at heart, heck I love it.  I am not tough at the church and I do believe in forgivness, etc. Just because I don’t like Adam Lambert doesn’t mean what you have assumed.  I am very tolerant.  My negative attitude? Just because I don’t care for Adam?  Give me a break!  If people like him, great!  I do not.  I have read many interviews given by him, and find them rather sad.  I don’t like his music, just me, I don’t care for him, that’s just the way it is.

Read your post to Bernadette and I hope it will be of some comfort for you to know: You are not alone.

You couldn’t be more correct. No one who throws him/herself out there as fodder for everyone ever makes a real contribution to their own lives or anybody else’s. There is RIP written all over Adam Lambert’s career unless he finds a way to be a genuine role model and not everybody’s plaything

Well, logically if "there is rip all over his career", then you wouldn’t be able to read and backlash him here. The truth is, a plain twitter of him could make headlines. However much you dread him, I’m pretty sure Adam would be all over the media for long, whether you live in US, Canada, New Zealand, Singapore, Japan or China or Mars : )So glad you’re not on his management team.

I always feel a bit frustrated when the first few comments on a piece of Adam Lambert news is almost always negative. As a fan, I didn’t even have the time to google all his news. How the heck do all of those who feel him "desperate, ungenuine" care about him so much? :)

One thing I’d love to clear:Adam is to be appreciated by people of all kinds. I’m only 17 and his music is like Voodoo to me. Morever, I’m obssessed with his attitudes and personality. So glad that a few peers of mine could also exchange something more than Miley Cyrus or Jonas Brothers (no offense).

I didn’t want to waste time typing. But looking at you people making a fuss over here is too hilarious. I always thought mature people would have mature thoughts. Well, just when can we stop talking about AMA? What’s the big deal? I’ve been growing up healthily but gosh! I’ve seen far more raunchy performances than that! I didn’t learn oral sex from watching Adam’s performance.. And it was late night and younger kids were supposed to be sleeping…So mothers, just step out of the fairyland. There is much more to worry about your kids than Mr Adam Lambert. And personally, I think chasing stupid fashion, pretending to be someone else, losing the ability to think and care -  these are more important issues. We need responsible individuals who can think on their own, not Disneyland copies.

As for role model: first of all, Mr. Lambert has every right not to be your type of role model and he can’t satisfy every one’s needs. He already said in numerous interviews that his performances were to be entertained, not to be inmitated. If artists are the same as us, what is artistery for? If even I could tell the differences between TV shows and reality, why can’t you guys? Why not just let loose and enjoy the moment? Or if you don’t, turn off the TV~~

Nobody could be God. To teach Adam to do this or that is simply rude. He is not for every one and surely he’s already tried to appeal to as many as possible. America can’t always be the Commandar. Every artist has a right to express his own artistery. If the world really follows your rules, we wouldn’t even have Led Zepplin, David Bowie, Prince or Michael Jackson. Adam’s acoustic Whole Lotta Love or For Your Entertainment on Japanese live were just a blast. Listening to those music pieces were pure pleausure to me. If Adam did tone down and shaped himself for the mediocore, I would cry for losing a true artist.

Actually, Adam is role model. Not only has he broadened my music tastes, he also taught me how to be a real person. I could imagine how many years of struggle he endured to pursue his artist dream. And no need to complain, no need to play your suffer card, just hang on and do your favorite thing. Also, he taught me to be grateful for life, to treat people nice and to embrace the differences.

Music has no boundaries. Music has no color, age, or orientation… Jus like love, just like sexy. 

I’m so thrilled that people would share this kind of experience. I made a whole bunch of friends from many countries through this kind of communication. However much we differ, we could all appreciate his music and shared the excitement the moment we discovered Adam or how he altered us in various slight ways.

BumperTopper, Thanks God and Thank to You: you speak ALL for me and for the rest of the world who are indiscriminant, tolerant, peace-loving, respects for otheother’s living style, unprejudiced. Even the haters or those who promote hatred by taking advantage of "freedom of speech" are only minority compare to the rest of the world, wars still exist in this world as long as they are around. One Bin-Laden can turn the world upside down and destroy it.

@BumperTopper, Ditto all that, sistah! Besides making me LOVE MUSIC AGAIN, I have met so many beautiful and loving friends bc of ADAM. I now have friends all over the world bc of our mutual love of ADAM. If you dont get it, it’s ok. I dont bash what I dont get. I dont bash what I dont like. I simply dont listen to it. ADAM does not intend to be a role model. He is an artist. Why is it his job to be a role model? Guess what? ADAM IS my role model. ADAM broadened my horizons with people of all ages, races, sexual orientations, etc. I am more outspoken against things I can’t stand, such as homophobia and racism, bc ADAM gave me the voice to stand up for what is right. ADAM is such an incredible human being. It’s a shame everyone doesn’t see him the way his fans do. It’s ok. It’s also ok for us fans to love ADAM unconditionally. It’s ok for us to love everything he sings and wears. He’s not a god. He’s just a man trying to live his dream. What’s wrong with that? Nothing is wrong with that. ADAM harms no one. ADAM hasn’t a hateful bone about him. I wish I could say the same about his critics.

hello bumpertopper, well done kid you already mentioned most of the points i wanted to write.  hopefully the two negative ladies above will realized what they are missing and surely taught them a lesson.

If your name isn’t Liz Smith then I wasn’t talking to you (about your comment, yes - but sparing you the embarrasment).  If you check, you will see the authors name (Liz Smith).  That’s who I was writing to. and thank you for proving my point.  Closed minds don’t let anything in and are proud of it.  Yes they stay closed.  So, I’m not talking with you. No point to it.

I have no idea why your post came to my e mail address. All I know is that Adam Lambert is a disgrace to himself andto anyone who has a sense of common decency.

amen, may you go to heaven. because you are righteous and sinless!

Lou I am NEITHER righteous or sinless….I just know what appeals to me and what does not and having seen Adam Lamber’s performance on the awards show he does not fall into that category. If you find him entertaining I have no problem with that.
