Adam Lambert Tops 700,000 Followers on Twitter - Most for Any 'American Idol' Alumnus

Adam Lambert has reached a Twitter threshold, topping 700,000 followers on the social networking site. And he did it without screaming "Follow me!" on CNN, too. Slowly but surely, Lambert has amassed nearly three-quarters of a million followers based on his music, his public appearances and interviews, and sheer charisma.

As noted, Adam Lambert hasn't had the benefit of having Ashton Kutcher challenge him to a Twitter race to get more followers (as did Larry King on CNN). Nor has he had the strangely universal magnetic appeal of his friend and song collaborator Lady Gaga (nearly 6.7 million Twitter followers to date), but the glam rocker keeps accumulating followers steadily, climbing toward one million. The reason, even to the most casual observer, is fairly obvious and twofold: He is intensely forthright in his posts and his obvious excitability is contagious.

Well hells bells, I decided today to get on twitter, after fighting this thing a long time. But my cellphone always dead cause I forget to charge it and thought this would remind me to charge it. So what do I do, put the wrong phone number down and couldn't change it. It's just one number off, but one number is a lot all things considered. Spent a good hour trying to fix, and finally said screw it. So while I say I am on twitter, my tweets are going to some twit that doesn't give a twat. All very discouraging. I was much happier when my life was not controlled by computer chips, and the only chips I embraced were the kind you ate.

I love following Adam on Twitter. You get to meet his friends and family there to. I guess it's a form of "Voyerism", finding out what a person is saying, who he is saying it to, and what they are saying to him. I can't help myself, i want to know all I can about him.

DS: you are a riot! I, too joined the twitter invasion, but not thru my phone (does it add to my bill? I can't have that.). Still, it's nice to know that one of those 700,000 plus is ME! LOL!

Darkside give us a urination warning please.

Sitting down at a computer with an aged bladder is not the place to start laughing because you cannot stop once you start...peeing or laughing, you choose.

@ Darkside, Don't feel bad. I still don't know how to cut and paste or how to post photos or articles. I can twitter , but who knows where they really go. Doubt if Adam has ever seen any, with over 700,000 other twats. They're still fun to read and you can follow fans comments while awaiting M&Gs, concerts and glamily sightings on Adamfans unite. funbunn40
