and this comes as a shock to everyone because?

I love Adam Lambert! What the hell are you talking about?! I don't mean by homosexual means, but instead his singing! He's amazingly talented!

Oh, gee. It's amazing that in 2009 this is considered scandalous. I really hope A.I. doesn't felel pressured to disqualify him because of this. If they do, I won't be watching the program anymore.  Just let the guy sing!

Wondering why Nancy R. would use “NOT!” after 1993?

People still watch this show?

Ooooh, scandalous - a gay guy kisses another guy. Oh, and a theater guy in makeup kisses another guy. Terribly, terribly shocking. Not. I'm really looking forward to Adam this season on AI. It'll be like David Cook or Melinda Doolittle, I won't have to wait, just hoping that they don't screw something up. I can relax and know that they'll sound good and be professional. That's another reason I'm hoping that Jesse makes it through as a wildcard. She seems calm and confident, and I know that even I may not necessarily like the song, she won't be out of key or horribly pitchy.

I agree. He decimated the song.

I totally agree about this NOT being a scandal. Gee…he's gay? What a shock( please note the sarcasm). This is by no means scandalous. And he didn't “decimate” the Stones' song. It was a little weak in the beginning, but Adam is crazy talented, and I can't wait to hear what else he does on an otherwise pretty pathetic show (AI).

They said “American Idol” scandal, not Buzzfeed scandal. And yes, it's scandalous. :D

Scandal?! If you think gay guys kissing each other is scandalous, that says a lot more about you than him.
