Adam was kinda cute even then. I'm rather keen on the without eye makeup look. I read yesterday that eyeliner and mascara worn on one's lower lashes, ages one and we can't have that, can we?! :-D

Lots of eye make-up tends to make eyes look smaller.

Adam's eyebrows were different back then. I guess he's had them plucked and shaped to the style they are now.

The popdust best reality star Adam 55% Fifth Harmony 45% The best site to let me vote win no glitches is the one on Adam's Facebook page. Getting help from China I read on Adamtopia and I'm sure all over the world. Keep voting. Soshana tweeted for us to win this.
Adam was always cute and sexy,he just grew up to be a beautiful man!

Adam isnt a "gay sex symbol". He is a sex symbol period! Or a sex symbol that just happens to be gay if they insist on using the word "gay". . . . Adamluv

You guys need to stop voting on that popdust poll with the girls from xfactor. Adam doesn't need to get nasty comments from the tweens that vote for that group and are upset that Adam is beating their group. Come on! Adam is beyond those stupid polls. Carrie Underwood, Kelly Clarkson, Jennifer Hudson and other established former idol stars did not advance on that poll. It doesn't preclude them from having great careers. Let's not have all these tweens tweet their anger towards Adam just because their group did not win over Adam. Not worth it for Adam.

@6:57 Of course all these polls breed hate comments which is so immature. These are tweens and teens. sorry I am voting because Adam is the best reality star and any recognition even in this poll is good. Plus Shoshana tweeted for us to vote,so there must be a good reason for that Let the immaturity show from 5th harmony fans and let's show them how we rise above it.So please keep voting.

Because these Tweens are bulling us and Adam is why we need to keep voting! There gonna tear him down to get there way! Do we buckle to the bullie's what good does that do Adam! It just America of course! They are always gonna do that, to try get their way! People in asia, they are helping shows their little pop stars not as great as they think! Their tear his career down and everything else he ein's it kind of proves they are wrong has a more loyal large fan base. They have as much time and power to vote as us! Adam career is quite strong many places abroad! He doing well here on many levels! He wins it proves he has a strong big fan base, you let them bullet you down with insults, they win what they want, because against world glamberts that all they can do us bulley, he wins we prove them wrong! Do no buckle down to these little monster's! Same type that make these great gay kids want to kill themselves, do not let them win, sometimes you have to suffer the bad to be victorious!
Sometimes you have to hold your head up, they get there way by cruelty, no one wins! If he wins they loose proves them wrong, these little brats. Cannot rule people's lives. Adam wins, proves them wrong and theirs type of cruel bulling does not work here! Sometime you have to suffer through the Hurt of these teen bullies, to win over them! Enough people, stand up to then they will wither into their holes!

I am so tired of reading or seeing the word gay constantly attached to Adam's name(I would probably guess that he is too). He is a sex symbol who happens to be gay. Do you read that Bradley Cooper(for example) is a straight sex symbol when they write or talk about him? He is one sexy man and when I see pictures of him looking so hot, I do not think gay at all. It is amazing how he has transformed himself over the last 10 years into the terrific individual we see today.

I went to the site and Ryan Seacrest sure is one of the most improved guy ever.

When Adam was younger and in high school, with his hair color, size and weight, I think he looked more like his father. Once he lost the weight and darkened his hair and eyebrows, he looks more like Leila. He certainly came from a great gene pool. Who would have thought that the kid in that high school picture would turn out to be the hot, sexy person so many of us love today.

Two things disturb me about this post. He was hot then and he is hot now. Gay sex symbol? WTH? Sex symbol - leave off gay. Very insulting article on so many levels.

5th who?? Never heard of them! Adam all the way!

Adam looked a spunk at whatever teenage years he was. I like a little avoidupois on male bones and he certainly doesn't look 250lb in that 1st photo of him. I definitely prefer him without Melvin.

choons said...

He was def. a cutie even in high school. He would still have had his big sunshine smile and his quick wit and his cute laugh. What's not to love?

I'm also tired of the gay label constantly being the focal point of Adam instead of his talent. What difference does it make? He's a sensuous extremely attractve man that can out sing anyone. Maybe we should politely call these bloggers out and ask them why it's so important to highlight something that's already known and relatively unimportant to his talents. I also think Adam was a cute kid and teens are all sizes while growing into adulthood and these comparisons just foster more negativity and place too much importance on superficial things.

Well, we have to remember that "After Elton" is a gay website..so their comment about "gay sex symbol" perhaps does have some relevance here in that context. Although I completely agree that he is just pretty much "a sex symbol" in my book :))) Gay or not......

Yes, you're so right, so what's the problem? Adam's battle , and our battle is not with the gay tag attached to his name by journalists "hunting" the sensationalism. Adam's colosal battle is with people's prejudices and they go go hand in hand with hate, intolerance. And this battle needs honesty and bravery, intelligence and talent. I was furious and disappointed when I found out that my adored one chose to come out, he could have had fake love affairs, marriages , what's the PR for? I/We knew the consequences of his coming out , they are the same everywhere no matter how good, talented, professional you are.
It will be a long and bloody battle, but Adam has the necessary equipment and he also has the best allies, his loyal fans.

I've never seen a photo of Adam where he actually looked 250lbs...

re the Popdust poll, Adam is losing ground, has dropped 3% this afternoon, down to 52%.

The main reason I don't want to see 5th Harmony win is because they haven't done anything, they had one fairly good cover on a tv show, they haven't done any concerts of put out an album, so they simple don't deserve to win.

@ Pan,

Do you still remember what Adam always saying, that you have to be true to yourself and to have a thick skin to battle all of these craziness in this world. He thought me that that's why I just ignore whatever is going on and focus on the PRIZE....... I'm not worried about this media frenzy about him because they know that he is a very important figure to follow that's they don't want to stop criticizing everything he does..... He is a global Superstar and not only 15 minutes of fame indeed!!:)

Adam will always rise above them all ...

GEEZ! You need a Valium. It's a stupid poll, get a grip, we are not mobilizing to storm the Bastille! Adam is not being dragged off by an angry mob to be tarred and feathered. I think I can support Adam without grabbing a pitchfork or machete and marching into battle. I assume you are not Joan of Arc. She was nuts you know. Heard voices in her head. You are at war with teens with too much time on their hands, does that seem reasonable?
Stop reading comments if you can't handle it and shrug it off. Please, I'm really tired of you foaming at the mouth.

Ooops! sorry! I was thinking this post was from After Elton. Got it mixed up with another one. First chance I've had to come back here... (Busy day at work...) So in that case..yes, Adam is a sex symbol. Period :)))))
