10 Gay Male Artists Who Shined in 2010

3. Adam Lambert
2010 was certainly a remarkable year for American Idol runner-up Adam Lambert. His 2009-released debut album For Your Entertainment continued its reign in the pop music arena with hits “If I Had You” and “Whataya Want From Me” ruling the radio airwave; the latter garnering the new artist a Grammy nomination for Best Male Pop Vocal Performance. 2010 sparked the first official solo concert for Lambert titled Glam Nation. In the fall Lambert took his tour international and sparked controversy in Malaysia, due to their anti-homosexuality stance. Lambert continued his fight for equality as one of only a few openly gay male artists to launch their career on a major music label. In December Lambert released an acoustic EP titled Acoustic Live!, recorded during the artist’s international travels.

Sorry never heard of the first two people on this list. Why does Adam, who is a world wide, mega star have to always take a back seat to obscure people nobody knows. Yes, I am sure they all have a following, but not like Adam's. I keep feeling there is some type of conspiracy to keep Adam from becoming too big in the "gay culture." Why this would be true, I can't even imagine. Could there be discrimination in the LBGT Community?

@Dark Side You absolutely right. All of these people #1,#2,etc nobody even know who are they, where they are from suddenly appear in the winners lists. Also, did anybody hear about this Logo best top 10 videos 2010? Or somebody like Lady GaGa, Justin B, etc. got these top 10?

It is fear, something that we don't know about and people panic. I think they are scare of what he is doing "outside" and he is gaining momentum. It is a new power on the rise either in the LBGT or the music industry. It is the change that Adam bring them uncertainties and he is way too smart to be under control. This is just my opinion.

This is the number one Jónsi from Island.

Never heard of him but in a way I think Adam would like this sound.

I just found it kind of funny that they gave him props for being the 3rd best artist but didn't include any of his songs or his album on the other "top" lists. Guess we'll take what we can get. After Elton has been warming up to him a little more, so that's good. IMHO

@Eva Are you sure Adam would like this sound? May he will like just sound or music, which he can change and get fantastic song. But this boy deff is not shine at all:)He sounds very boring

Thanks Delilah, Eva, Ebbtide, etal. Validation makes me feel less a rabble rouser. But I have seen this discrimination/prove yourself attitude at his concerts, so know there is an elitist thing going on. One would think that Adam's exposure is not a good thing, when he has brought more legitimacy to the gay community than anyone in years. Look at how many gay artists have come out since he declared himself in RS. I am looking toward a New Year where Adam is on top of the heap!!!

I remember on the Donor chose live chat, smeone asked if he knew any Icelandic artist. I think that person perhaps meant this guy. Adam just knew Björk.

I also checked the No1 spot on youtube. Adam is 100x more appeal to me. Adam is so confident, happy and shine everywhere. He is like a glitter explosion type while the No1 sound very self contained and "soft" . They are totally different.

Do you guys remember an interview months ago where the interviewer, a gay guy, was almost in tears, very touching moment. He said he wished Adam had been around when he was 18, in the closet and very afraid. But then there was no one so brave for him to look up to. That interviewer was a true Adam Lambert fan.

Also, I want to say about #2 gay on the Google! I think a lot of people Google Perez Hilton, to find what else he wrote about Adam! I did it few times! I didn't know even who is Perez Hilton, until I found his review about Adam. How about you? Deff I will never do it again!LOL

I keep away from Perez Hilton as far as possible. I have been to his site a couple of times and it is the comment board that makes me angry and depressed. There are so mush trash visiting that site, stupid ignorant people that spew out hatred and homophobia, mostly at Perez himself but also Adam has had his share. No Perez for me, thank you.

@Eva These pictures are fantastic! Thank you for the link.
I made a comment about Perez Hilton just because some of us wanted to make a comment asking to leave Adam alone and Google his name! I read his reviews twice, because guys from Examiner mentioned the name of this idiot!

No, he looks like a toddler in that pic.

Imagine he is looking like that right in front of you, I am not sure what I will do. Probably knock him down and wrestle with him. He!He!

The past tense of shine is "shone" not "shined"
Sheesh! Who writes these articles?
Shined is only used for the act of cleaning something, not this meaning of being bright

@Eva 3:55pm I just need to change the subject. Did you find the way how to subscribe on myyotube? I read that you had some problem with it. Seems like some of Adam's fan can't do it

Sigur Rós is very popular in the indie world, just saying. And I love the choice of pic for this! And he calls Tommy Kitteh!

To 8:41 this is the PAST tense!
Example: He shined the shoes. The shoes SHONE.
These artists didn't shine anything. They shone.

Hello ZZ@ 8:56
It doesn't matter if all of our posts are perfect but these are writers for an established group (AfterElton)who should understand basic grammar in order to get that job.
ps. I actually am a teacher and you can go to the bathroom whenever you darn well feel like it honey haha

Not to change the thread but for a second,,,,has anyone seen this photo of Tommy sitting in an airport lounge? He is so tired he slid right out of his pants!! Dayam!! Funny! Frame :50

To 7:38. Indie=indie music.As opposed to major label. However, Sigur Ros is signed to EMI but is popular with folks in this country that listen to indie music and less main stream top 40 stuff.

I thought that pic of Tommy in the airport with the pants down was photoshopped!

@delilah5

Well, I don´t know what´s wrong. I have subscribed to Adams Official YouTube channel, but when I want to subscribe to the MyYouTube to get points and vote, it fails. It is processing but nothing happens. It says something about "allowing access to my account" and I "allow access" but then nothing happens. Is this perhaps just for americans? If you can win prizes, perhaps it´s just for american fans. I don´t know.

I didn't think about the photoshopping. You just could be right. Funny looking anyway. Don't seem to be something the whole group would let slip by and not help him.... :)
