After a while off the blog, I make my comeback to Adam news. Found this interesting comment about Adam, AMAs, Lady Gaga and more that make a lot of sense to me. Please skip it if you’ve read it already. by rhombusmag.com

Adam Lambert performed at the American Music Awards (AMAs) and managed to accomplish everything that Lady Gaga wanted to but couldn’t. More specifically, while performing his song “For Your Entertainment” Lambert kissed another man and pushed a male dancer’s face into his crotch, simulating oral sex. The moment instantly became headline news and, not surprisingly, groups like the conservative Parents’ Television Council were outraged.
As is usually the case, this controversy has only benefited Lambert. Though ABC canceled his gig on Good Morning America in response, Lambert immediately booked a performance on CBS’s The Early Show instead. More importantly, newspapers and magazines across the country have made Lambert the centerpiece of their entertainment coverage. Whether you love or loathe Lambert, his profile is higher than ever and he’ll undoubtedly sell more records.
However, Lambert’s other, somewhat more abstract reward for his AMA controversy is his new status as a fledgling gender-bending icon. It’s the kind of thing Lady Gaga wanted to be, but which her VMA performance didn’t quite deliver. In the wake of the AMAs people aren’t just talking about Lambert, they’re talking about what he represents, which is something edgier and more appealingly dangerous than most female pop stars can manage. If he isn’t exactly starting a movement, then he is definitely beginning to be remembered.

Amidst talk of the inappropriateness of his performance at the 2009 American Music Awards, Adam Lambert has quietly released the video for his first single off the debut album, the title song “For Your Entertainment.” With a very goth / punk / 80s vibe to it, the video is the product of a one-day shoot with Ray Kay at the helm, which shows Lambert as the ringmaster of an underground party.
Adam Lambert has repeatedly been described as this generation’s glam rock idol and, for many, his performance over the weekend only comes to reinforce that. With this in mind, the same does this recently released video, as it shows the singer as a true entertainer, of which we have only a handful these days on the music scene. As music critics also point out, the entire video – the party – takes place underground, quite a powerful symbol for the musical revolution the American Idol runner-up has in store for the world.

Yahoo.com’s Shawn Amos made an approach to name some of the gay icons in the pop music.
Adam is listed together with Freddie Mercury, Madonna, Rufus Wainwright, Barbara Streisand and Elton John….
Personally, I am still not sure what was the idea the author would like to communicate and the whole article makes me slightly uncomfortable.
But at least, the author comes also closer to Adam’s debut album:

The album is an exercise in production overload and musical ADD. Lambert (and his handlers) want to make sure no part of the Lambert army is left unsatisfied. “For Your Entertainment” bounces between Euro-disco, rock bombast, power ballads, and ’80s synth attacks. It’s an album seemingly made by a focus group instead of musicians.

And back to the point:

Despite the musical hopscotch, one thing is consistent: Lambert’s gayness. For Your Entertainment” is unmistakably an album meant for gay greatness. The Glambert has joined the ranks of the great gay icons. In fact, with this album (and what is certain to be an insanely overblown tour), Lambert is staking his claim as THE gay musical icon. The cover alone should secure his spot. It’s a pretty gay cover.
It’s also a bold move. Clearly, Lambert senses a changing of the guard is imminent, as the top tier of iconic gay performers — Liza Minnelli, Bette Midler, Cher anyone? — has gone unchallenged for years. He even brought in fellow contemporary gay icon Lady Gaga (on her song “Fever”) to help him claim his throne.
