Adam Lambert Called a Diva Already

Nasty Rumors Abound Already About the Polite, Gracious Adam Lambert

Adam Lambert has now, already been labeled as a diva. Adam Lambert has been an extremely polite and humble young man throughout the entire time that he has been thrown into the spotlight through his journey on American Idol and now beyond.

Even on the evening of his loss he has been nothing but gracious and mature in his praising of the winner Kris Allen. Adam, much more so than his world-wide fans that have voiced their displeasure over the American Idol shocker decision.

So I read with both surprise and disbelief the report that American Idol runner up Adam Lambert, has become "a handful behind the scenes and while he is working and the label "diva" has emerged for the rising star".

Adam Lambert, a diva? I don't think so. Whatever anonymous source fed this piece of garbage news to the print media needs to be removed from even being near Adam Lambert. A word of warning to Adam, be careful who you keep near you from now on.

Let's look at the facts. From the moment we "met" Adam in San Francisco tryouts for American Idol tryouts, he was a perfect gentleman. He kissed Kara and Paula's hands as he left the audition room. He was polite and down-to-earth when he spoke with Ryan Seacrest.

As the show continued on, we came to realize that his humbleness was real. His politeness was real. Adam Lambert was real. He was the real deal, with manners to add to the top of his amazing talent.

Whether the panel of American Idol judges was praising his performance, such as for his rendition of "Mad World" or "Black and White", or they were criticizing what they believed to be his over-the-top theatrics such as with "Ring of Fire"; Adam always took their input with his classy smile and kind words.

The night that Kris Allen won American Idol over Adam Lambert, Adam had this to say backstage: "'Kris won because he's a great artist, and I was happy to be a runner-up to that." He was open and gracious and never said a single bad word about the outcome of the competition.

Adam Lambert never said what all his fans and the bloggers were saying. They were all saying that Adam should have won, my personal opinion to this day. They were all saying that Adam was the better performer and that America got it wrong. But Adam Lambert never joined in that chorus of voices. He remained supportive of the American Idol process and the outcome.

I do not believe the reports that Adam Lambert is acting like a 'diva'. He has been sensible and down to earth his whole time in the spotlight so far, never a negative report about his behavior. I do not believe it now. Adam Lambert has an incredible musical career in front of him and I am certain that he will traverse the music industry with the same courteous behavior that he showed throughout the American Idol competition.
