You're right. I probably wouldn't like Adam as much if he were "fat and ugly." But as I said before, I also wouldn't like him if he were drop-dead gorgeous and talentless. He's the complete package to me. And probably to Sweet Caroline too. And to most of his "older" fans. Nothing wrong with it and certainly nothing pathetic about it (as one poster put it). Human nature.

Of course (most) human beings are sensible enough to revise the first impression we had of a person. But the first sight can never be wiped out completely.
Another aspect are of course our explanations: When we go to a concert, we‘re usually much more open to like someone, because of his musical talent, stage presence or whatever. When we’re dating, looks are much more important (usually) ;-)
in the end, humans are just shallow. It’s our animalic side: Good looking, strong people are attractive, because they are good breeders. Thankfully tastes differ. But looking at worldwide stars in the music and show business I can’t remember completely unattractive ones. [/QUOTE]
I would say looks do have some importance in dating etc, at least you have to find the person attractive, good looking isn't the same thing IMO, I can find people attractive for lots of reasons.
It is different with entertainers, after their obvious talent, stage presence and personality matter but looks don't really factor in for me.
Well, Adam certainly isn't good looking in this old fuzzy video. He looks like a young Richard Simmons. But I LOVE this performance. So, if I were to analyze what's attractive to me, it's not so much looks as performance style. Seems my favorite artists have the same theatrical style of performance. James Brown, Madonna, Prince, Adam Lambert, etc.

That's too bad that you say you probably wouldn't like AL if he was fat and ugly.
It's just staggering to me that so much emphasis is put on his looks by you. What if he God forbid he was seriously injured? His voice had issues? Would you still like him as much then?

Yeah, I can't say I was a fan of his Glam Nation look either, the shaved up one side hair and ten ton of glitter etc but I did love his performance style, and vocally he did some insane stuff on that tour. Adam does have stage presence, no matter what look he's going for.

I think it's too bad you put so emphasis on how he looks. And I asked if he God forbid ended up injured or having vocal issues if you would still feel the same way about him.
Thought it was simple enough. Yay, another Glambert with the snide remarks towards me.
This is for nasty icy since she has convinced herself it is the one and only song Adam sings well:

I don't usually resort to Queen-fan-level insults but you are an idiot. I told you it's mostly about his performance style and the looks are just an added bonus. Are you talking about liking him as a performer or as a person? I'd find it hard to go to his concerts and have the same level of enjoyment if he were maimed or had polyps on his voicebox. But I'd still like him for the person he is. You aren't making any sense.
