He's creative and talented AND self indulgent and smirky - but I think he'd be marketable

I doubt think he's as good as ppl think he is. Most of the time it just sounds like he is shreiking and screaming.

He's a mack truck when he needs to be a mini-van. If I want a "screech" I'll watch Saved By the Bell re-runs.

Well, if 'American Idol' should ever do the right thing and have it so that the most talented person win the competition, then Adam's it.

Idol has had some huge success stories but Lambert will be the biggest commercial success of them all. And that is what it's all about.

He isnt THAT creative. He is just different. Plus he is SO not mainstream...

It's really to bad this "talent" show has turned into a popularity contest, hence, David Archaletta. Adam is pure talent. He should win!

He's the only one in the group who would have a concert I would care to sit through.

apart from his ear-splitting screechiness, i just don't think he's radio-friendly. he should stick to the theater.

Compared to the rest of the competition, he is a pro. He continually is head and shoulders better than the rest.

Absolutely not! I believe that the program has been manipulated so much to ensure Mr. Lambert wins. This program is now such a disgrace.

No! I can't stand his high-pitch YELLING every time he sings!!! Who would want to see him in concert? Every song would sound the same..

Sure he's self-indulgent -- but he's the one I watch for. Last week he was mesmerizing. What will he do tonight?

      I will not be buying his CDs. Not a fan. Please just try to sing a song not scream it.

      I don't think he's self-indulgent and uninteresting, but I do think he kind of comes off as a poser. He seems to be trying too hard.

        He is amazing. A very talented young man and actually seems to take the judges comments to heart and listen.

        I actually like Allison more, but Adam show great creativity and talent. Not sure how he'll do post-idol.

          Could we have anymore stories about Adam Lambert today, MSNBC? I'm sure the other contestants are excited about being written off already.

          He is a mix of Steven Tyler, Robert Plant, and Mick Jagger, yet somehow his own artist too. Those are some very successful "screamers".

          Adam is the absolutely thebest to appear on AI ever! Besides his amazing voice, he is so entertaining you can't wait to watch him each week

          It's between Adam and Danny. I think Adam's personality and his lack of religion in everything he does has made him my top choice.
