In the Rolling Stone interview, Adam speaks frankly about sexuality, and well he has been always pretty open about the issue, and he knows that.

“I don’t think it should be a surprise for anyone to hear that I’m gay,”

“Right after the finale, I almost started talking about it to the reporters, but I thought, ‘I’m going to wait for Rolling Stone, that will be cooler, I didn’t want the Clay Aiken thing and the celebrity-magazine bullshit. I need to be able to explain myself in context.”

He also talks about the epiphany that led him to American Idol on “Wild Idol: The Psychedelic Transformation and Sexual Liberation of Adam Lambert.”

American Idol Voting Controversy

The New York Times has revived the flame of American Idol voting controversy, as now a report from them says that AT&T may have played a role in the final decision of the show - that means in Kris Allen’s victory.

It is known that AT&T (one of the sponsors of the show) gave phones for free text-messaging in Arkansas, at parties interested that Kris Allen wins. This was done just after the final performance show on Tuesday ended, giving Kris an advantage they didn’t give to Adam Lambert.

The Arkansas Democrat-Gazette, reports even more and talks about AT&T employees actually taking the time to teach Kris fans how to vote! AT&T said:

“In Arkansas, we were invited to attend the local watch parties organized by the community. A few local employees brought a small number of demo phones with them and provided texting tutorials to those who were interested.”

Fox on the other hand has not given details on votes that may clarify this American Idol voting controversy.

This was the video of Adam Lambert Bohemian Rhapsody.

Adam Lambert Queen

Adam Lambert Queen - Here is my favorite moment of the American Idol 2009 finale! When the top two contestants sang “We Are the Champions” with Queen- or at least with Brian May and Roger Taylor. Wow what an emotive moment.  This is a song that is ageless a true classic that always makes me miss Freddie Mercury.

Enjoy this amazing performance of Adam Lambert, Kris Allen and Queen. By the way, this song is perfect for Adam, hi sings pretty loud and rocks better than Kris.

Who Will Win American Idol?

Who will win American Idol - That’s the million dollar question isn’t it? We have on one side the highly popular and charismatic Adam Lambert, and on the other hand we have the “underdog” with the great voice, Kris Allen!

Now, Kris odds were bad.  Remember when we had 4 contestants and everybody expected him to be voted off! Well, he survived despite all that, and now he is in the final.

Adam Lambert has a great voice, but it seems that many people are tired of him doing the same screaming in every song.  It kinda tires you after a while… Yesterday, in a round of 3, judges said that Adam won 2 rounds, so well that gives you a pretty clear idea of the judges’ favorite.

Check out yesterday’s performances.

But now, the vote is up to you, you will determine who will win American Idol, and TPI News Daily Updates will bring you all the news for today’s show. What are your predictions?

Adam Lambert Streaker VIDEO!

Adam Lambert Streaker - Watch the video of Adam Lambert singing “Mad World” at his high school, when suddenly, a streaker decides to show him some love.

Wow! That girl is really hot! Too bad for her that Adam is gay…

By the way, this was perhaps THE song that made Adam stand out as one of the favorites; he must be signing it in his high school perhaps because everybody asks him to sing it! Even though Lambert is not my favorite I have to admit that was a pretty amazing performance.
