Where do I begin? I’m such a fan of Adam Lambert, I can’t stop watching his videos and performances on American Idol, OMG he really takes my breath away, I can’t help it! I’m so in awe! OMG, no words here, just speechless, can’t describe how much I look up to this guy.

Lambert has electrifying white-hot talent and star quality that wipes the stage with the other contestants. He sounds like Axl Rose and Robert Plant had a baby that was incubated in Patti LaBelle. Adding to the glamour, he's got a funky gay back-story complete with pictures of him dolled up like he just escaped from Velvet Goldmine, as well as photos of him kissing a guy like they're at a Ziggy Stardust concert.

Lambert is everything I wanted to be in my 20's and never was -- sexy, stylish and self-confident, not afraid to be who he is, with a voice that could force the pigeons from the rafters and a great face for eye shadow. I watch him and become a bobby-socker watching Sinatra. I want to be his best friend, have him take me to cool parties with his overly costumed friends, and show me how to do my nails. I want to be his gay big brother.
He has basically been on the scene for several weeks and it will take America some time to get used to a gay glam rocker with black nail polish. But we wouldn't even be having this discussion if he weren't an in-your-face major talent with the potential to go huge. This guy is Madonna, Tina Turner, and David Bowie. Even if he doesn't win the prize, he's the real thing. As Bette Davis said after seeing Barbra Streisand in Funny Girl: "The moment she came out onstage, we all knew."
