I am not shy about admitting that I lust (or lusted) after Adam. He is sexy and good-looking as hell! And I doubt that the reason I can never have him is because lusts after guys. LOL.
Rock chic,
That is a very good question. It's like asking if Elvis would have gained such popularity if his looks weren't taken into consideration. I suppose the answer is no but I'm not sure. I think the reason I love Adam so much is a compilation, a triple threat: the voice, the stage presence and the looks. Do you think Freddie would have been so beloved had been an ugly, fat man? I think not.
Iron Butterfly,
If Adam were the sexiest, most gorgeous man on earth but was a mediocre singer or lacked charisma and a fabulous stage persona, I would not give him a second glance. When I am being entertained, I like it on all levels, acoustically as well as visually. I think you are a woman. I think you are not being completely honest with yourself. If Freddie were fat and ugly, I really don't think you would be the fan that you are. He is a complete package. He had a sexy charisma like Adam does. And like Mick Jagger. Freddie and Mick weren't the best looking guys but they both had a great deal of sex appeal.
You mean like Susan Boyle?
Looks are important. As mentioned before, Elvis is a great example. As are many singers in today’s pop business. You can be very successful without being able to sing better than my neighbour. ;-). But if you don’t have the right look, you will probably never get your foot into any music label’s door.
I still remember, when Paul Potts or Susan Boyle came on stage on“Britain got talent“. The jury was mocking them and didn’t take them seriously, before they started singing. They got through by sheer talent. But if they didn’t have that huge stage, where the judges had to listen to the audience‘s cheers, would they have gotten a chance in the music business? Probably not.
It’s different in rock music. I don’t think looks are as important here. I certainly never became a Queen-fan, because I found the band members“cute“. Although I know, that women were especially attracted by Roger back in the days. So maybe I‘m wrong.
It also depends on your first experience with the singer. If you listened to him/her on the radio/record, before you ever saw him/her, their looks might be unimportant. If you see him/her first (or at the same time as he/she is singing), the look is very important.
It’s our human nature:
The sense of sight is our most important sensory organ. We decide, if someone is likable in less than a second. And we can’t control that.
Why are you saying looks are THE most important thing to me? You just want it to be to make your point. You completely ignored my post. And you never answered my question. Would you love Freddie as much if he were fat and ugly? You don't know the answer. And the crawling on the floor is Adam's theatricality, not his sexiness. Obviously you don't know the difference. And part of his sexiness is his intelligence, his wit and his kindness. And his large penis. Threw that last one in to see if you were paying attention.
I actually love Adam doing GDML but I don't find it sexy it just makes me laugh, it's done so tongue in cheek, but then most of what he does is.
