Career move or career suicide?

Rumors have been going around online and offline regarding Adam Lambert's sexuality. Pictures and videos were all over the place even during the American Idol Season 9.

However, just this month, Adam Lambert officially announced to the public, via an interview in Rolling Stone, the truth regarding his sexuality - that he is gay, homosexual, a member of the third sex, or what-have-yous.

This entry aims to answer the question posted by an article in Yahoo! (Click here to read the article).

Will Adam Lambert's Rolling Stone interview hurt or help his career?

Personally, I think this is a very bold move for Lambert whose plan is not to advocate gay rights, but to entertain people through his vocal powers, according to him.

However, this move can be both good and detrimental to his singing career.

Good. Why?

People might see the confession as a very honest thing for Lambert to do. And if they bite the hotdog, Lambert might continue to become the next Elton John.

The next best thing that his confession might bring him is the fact that it liberalized him, though he didn't really hid his sexuality from the public - he just didn't say anything about it.

Detrimental. Why?

We have to face the fact that homosexuality is still a stigma in our society, gays are still marginalized. This same fact might be the underlying reason Lambert didn't win the Idol.

Where would this leave Lambert?

We are yet to find out.

But two thumbs up, Adam.

There's no braver thing to do, but to free yourself from those chains .

Who will be the next?

Adam Lambert

Kris Allen

Just the same time a year ago, everybody were shouting for their bet on who will be Season 8's American Idol - a choice between two Davids, David Cook and David Archuleta.

The slightly older David won.

Now, here were are again, torn between two of the best - Adam Lambert and Kris Allen - who will be this season's American Idol (said in a Ryan Seacrest intonation).

Let's try to dive a little deeper on these Idol hopefuls.

Adam Lambert whose hope in becoming the next Idol was preceded with rumors which were actually true. But nothing stopped Lambert to beat everyone out and win the race.

His background in theater aided his quest. Although, some are not into his style, but you can't simply deny the power that his theater skills bring. A true performer, I should say.

Kris Allen, on the other hand, is a Cinderella story in the making. Nobody expected him to be one of the top two, everybody was expecting Danny Gokey. But American has voted, and it's Kris Allen.

What I like about Kris is his style - a very light yet good-to-hear vocal style. And you can't deny it, he has the looks. Thus, looks + powerful singing = undeniable chance to be the next idol.

But if you ask me, who between the two should win?

It would probably be Kris Allen. Adam Lambert may be great, but Kris Allen has the looks that you can easily market and of course, everyone will buy.

What do you think?
