Adam admits gay rumors hurt

May 25, 2009 Posted by Matthew Conaster in Celebrity Gossip

Adam Lambert told Rolling Stone he'd like to have his first album out by the end of the year. What that album will sound like is still anyone's guess, however. He says it'll be a solo album, and not a Broadway album.

When Rolling Stone asked him about whether the speculation surrounding his sexual orientation, including basically being outed by Entertainment Weekly the week before the finals might have made a difference in the final vote, Lambert laughed and said “Probably.”

Lambert has never said one way or the other what his sexual orientation might be, but you still have to wonder how much it might have affected the final vote. During the year, his talent overwhelmed the judges and voters, but during the final two weeks of American Idol you get a lot more casual viewers tuning in for the big announcement. The way I saw it based on the previous votes, Adam could have beaten Kris or Danny. However, when he went to the final three against both of them, his fate was sealed. Supporters of Kris or Danny had already spent the last month talking about how their Idol favorite was better than Adam. Once Danny was out, it was a natural progression for his voters to embrace Kris. I'm not sure that I could blame his loss solely on the question of "Is America ready for a gay Idol?"
