i could not agree more adam is a great influence and has taught people a lot. he has taught people not to judge a book by its cover because if i just saw that guy walking down the street i would be like "ohhh hes cute" but never look back at him, but now i no that even if you do not think a ton about someones appearance it is what is on the inside that counts. he seems like such a nice, charming, graceful, talented, humble, happy, wonderful, cute, great singer, sweet and a great influence to everyone around him.  i think it would be great to know him and i wish i could but i guess i will have to settle with just watching him from my couch and listening to him on my ipod.

adam rocks!!!!!!!! i voted like crazy last night.if adam  dont wi n idol tonight that just means america is  deaf. he is so much better. i want to watch adam. kris i want to do the dishes.he sounds like everyone else and adam is diffrent adam will be around for a long long time.this is the best reason ever because of adam.love you always adam......

yes thank u for saying that. i get so mad when people say hes a bad role modle because hes gay and wears makeup and crap, being himself is better then being fake

Great post OP!

Thank you Adam for kicking down the door and showing everyone what this show could and should be about.

Your being true to yourself is an inspiration to everyone, who, for different reasons in their lives, have been knocked down countless number of times and gotten right back up. You have overcome huge obstacles in your life, and where many would have given up, you have persevered and excelled.

Thank you for auditioning for idol and giving us just a little insight into your life. Just know that you have given your fans so much fun, so many laughs, tears, upset stomachs, and the occasional spiking fever, but more importantly a chance to look inward and find their own "Little Glambert".

I'll bet your family are so proud of you, not for the show, but for who you are.

I know if I had a son, I would wish him to be a carbon copy of you.

His parents did an amazing job in raising ADAM.   He is a decent person and gifted.  He is true to himself and it shows.   I agree with all.  He is definitely a role model.
