Thanks Netizen. That was a very interesting article, and I think the author is absolutely right. Even though he's only 27, I think time has passed Adam by in terms of his becoming a pop star. I can see him fronting a rock band, but even then, he's starting kind of late to build up a real following. He probably could write his own ticket on Broadway if he could learn to keep his flamboyant queen-emo thing in check. I suspect he can't, and speculate that's why he never made it in the theatrical world even though he has all of the other tools necessary. Big voice, good looks (although he badly needs to see a dermatologist), tall, pretty good actor, etc.
To be honest, I don't really like any of the other contestants this year. I like Adam's talent, but not his queen stuff at all.
I think you’re right about his not having caught on already. He’s had enough (dare I say exposure) to have already been on Broadway if someone wanted him for that purpose.
