Adam might not have won AI but he won none the less by getting a recording deal and a fan base that should buy what ever crap he puts out. And as Hollyweird is run by the GAY MAFIA, he’ll have allies that should help him navigate the bath houses and glory holes that can help him succeed in the slimy music biz. I am sure Ryan Seacrest will be the first one in line to “help” Adam.
And let us not forget that Adam’s image was CRAFTED by the producers at AI. If they didn’t want Adam to look queer, they wouldn’t have let him use the eyeliner etc. If you forgot, the show is heavily scripted and nothing is left for chance.
But should do fine on Broadway.
Personally, I'm glad the amateur won.
