If Adam Lambert is a Korean Idol not American Idol, there isn't a huge DOUBLE STANDARD!

"Treat all as your own self. Do not have a double standard." -Sri Sathya Sai Baba-

Well, lets talk about Adam Lambert in the term of the double standard. Why I bring up this topic? And why Korean Idol? Well, I just thought that quite interesting to write here. Trust me, I'll relate it...

First, I'll speak about Adam Lambert. FYI if you don't know about Adam Lambert, he is a runner up from American Idol season 8. He's remarkable as a guyliner with a turquoise highlight hair and black nail polish. But most of all people will remember him as a singer with an amazing high pitch and powerful voice. During the competition he showed originality and creativity as an artist. He made the audience wondering and yet surprising us with his performance. He covered many songs and made it into totally different version. His version of "Ring of Fire" (although he gets the inspiration from Dilana Robichaux, contestant of Rock Star supernova) is really shocking, and Simon Cowell said "What the hell is that", because he sung the middle eastern with a sitar version of Johnny Cash's song in "Grand Ole Opry" (country) week, OMG! Then a week after Adam sung "Track of My Tears" in "Motown" week and he stripped down into an acoustic version. When he sung it, he dressed up quite differently, he changed his looks: no nail polish and emo style, he choosed a classy style, an Elvis style with clean look on his face. And he sung it so tender and sweet, no glam rock thing in this performance. Couple weeks after (I'm not write week by week of his performance here cause it'll took a time) he did a cover of "Mad World" and he got a biggest reward ever: he got a STANDING O from Simon Cowell!! (Simon never gave standing-O to other contestants since the beginning of American Idol) Simon on his feet, who can imagine that he would gave it to American Idol's contestant, but Adam got it, which mean he's awesome, outstanding, perfect etc etc. Then in the end of the show, Adam finished second, the winner is Kris Allen, public shocked with this result (I'm not comparing Adam and Kris here, because they're both great singer). People keep questioning why Adam didn't win, they thought it's because the rumors, that later, he clarify in Rolling Stone: he is gay.

And like what I wrote before, the competition is over so I'll talk about Adam Lambert career. His album came out, "For Your Entertainment", and it sold over 200.000 copies in a week and his song "Whataya Want from Me" is always on top chart. But a night before he launch his album, he made a debut performance of his single "For Your Entertainment" on American Music Awards (AMA). His performance, yet, made controversy and critics from 1.500 audience. The reason is because of his sexually charged performance and his make-out scene with his male band member. After received so many critics, he didn't regret it and he said it was discrimination "It’s a shame. Female entertainers have been risqué for years. Honestly, there's a huge DOUBLE STANDARD."

Here's Adam Lambert's AMA video:


And I will talk about the double standard here, but before we move on, I will talk about Korean thingy. I didn't mean Korean Idol for real, because I didn't know if they have it or not (I'm not so much into Korea). I use term Korean Idol only to make a comparison. Why Korea? I put Korea because of Korean performer (I dunno much, well OK, I just knew a few of them and it's because my roommate is a Korean holic, she loves everything about Korea and crazy about the singer and actor). From my roommate, I knew some of them and I watch their performance. Then I realize one thing, it's OK in Korea if they do male-on-male action (kissing and hugging) and it isn't a big deal at all if a guy dress up like a girl (drag) to entertain people. I know nothing about Korean-thingy so I put some video here to explain (I took hours to search them but I finally find some)

See this video (I found they have many kiss scene)




And this




How about this TV commercial?

OK, it just a few of them I guess. But from that video, I think, in Korea, man-on-man action is not a big deal, and they even put it on a show to make people laugh, they also do some TV commercials with man-on-man kissing. And Korean celebrities sometimes do a silly thing like dress on a drag or dress like female and act like them only to entertain their fans. My question: is it, male on male act, fine in Korea? Because I think Korean public isn't make a big issue about it.

So, back to Adam Lambert. I personally think that he'll totally fine if he was Korean not American because his sexuality isn't a big issue there and people will enjoy him. His man-on-man kissing will entertaining his Korean fans (maybe) because they not make a big deal with it and people will look him more on his talent not his sexuality. Adam once said on Oprah that he got upset because media usually write him as "Openly gay singer", the "gay" part is come first before the "singer" part, it means media often see him as a gay than a singer. Pathetic...

Well, but Adam is American after all. And because he's an American Idol, I knew him (I guess I'll never knew him if he's a Korean idol lol). Ia dore him as a singer so I will receive the fact that there are people who love and hate Adam Lambert. For me, I love him just the way he is, he's an incredible singer, I don't care he's gay or what, his voice is outstanding. Two singer I love the most are CELINE DION (she's the greatest and I'm a die hard fans of her) and ADAM LAMBERT!

Now, how about enjoy our day with a cup of tea and listen some of Adam Lambert's songs? Have a great day... xoxo
