Hey PapSett - That makes two of us. Lambert does not appeal to me - not his looks nor his style of singing. Got nothin against him, seems like a fine guy. Wouldn’t go out of my way to hear or see him. ---

He seems like a nice kid but he seriously gives me the creeps. Not as creepy as David Cook but pretty creepy. ---

Wait a sec, there Cisco! I’m David Cook’s number one fan on these boards…yeah you have a right to your musical opinions, but, creepy? Pretty, yes; Creepy, no. JMHO ---

[This](http://blogs.pitch.com/wayward/david_cook.jpg) just screams “sex offender mugshot” to me. ---

I’m very excited about Allison’s deal! And all the hoopla around the RS cover has been very entertaining reading. Did you look at those pictures of Adam as a kid? [Here they are.](http://www.rollingstone.com/photos/gallery/28565412/adam_lambert_the_early_years/photo/1) So cute! ---

Wow, what a perfectly normal-looking kid. What happened? First thing he needs to do is lose the matte black hair and all the makeup (looks like he might be covering up some freckles?) ---

> [@Rachael\_Rage](#): > > NO, he did not. A “crush” indicates desire for a romantic or physical relationship, even if such a relationship is unlikely (or as Merriam-Webster sez: “an intense and usually passing infatuation”). Adam never said or implied any such infatuation in this article or anywhere else. Not necessarily. I have crushes on lots of celebrity types but it’s not like I’d necessarily really want to be with them as I know nothing about them. You can think, “Wow, I’d hit that” without literally meaning it. Also I really doubt Lambert would admit to wanting to jump Kris Whoever’s bones considering all of the “Oh noes, gay people want to seduce us straights!” nonsense out there. ---

> [@Walloon](#): > > 😕 Why? I have no idea. I’m sure certain faces just say criminal, creep, sex offender to you, don’t they? Probably somewhere between [this face](http://www.maxrambod.com/images/main/abraham-lincoln-picture.jpg) and [this one](http://mugshotdujour.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/04/dion-milam.jpg) there’s a blurry line at which your brain starts to say _do not want!_ Can you explain why? I can’t. David Cook is over that line to me. ---

Of course I’m only interested in the music (right). ---

Read the article in the local library, loved it. Sadly, no nude photos. ---
