Adam Lambert On His Overzealous Fans: Sweaty, Smelly and Touchy-Feely
In a recent interview with Velocity Live Radio from the Long Island press hour, Adam Lambert talks about his album, the tour, and taking some downtime when it’s over.
A most interesting soundbite comes when the interviewer asks Adam, “What’s the craziest thing that’s ever happened to you?”
There’s a lot of very interesting fan encounters–very, very overzealous fans, and I love them all. They’re super supportive, and they obviously put me where I am. You know, if it weren’t for these fans, I wouldn’t have gotten as far as I did. Sometimes, they’re a little sweaty, A little smelly–very touchy-feely. And some of the gifts are interesting. You know, I got, like, an inflatable kangaroo at one point, four feet tall, and I kind of was like, ok, well, thank you, this is sweet, what the…am I going to do with this?
Adam hasn’t been meeting fans by the buses, and my spidey sense tells me that’s going to be the policy for the rest of the tour. I realize there are many respectful fans out there, but with crazies who scream in his face, try to touch him and invade his personal space, I can’t blame him for not wanting to deal.
But calling fans smelly? Lulz. That might be crossing the line…

LOL! IKR?
At least the Armchair critics I know change the topics once in a while. But in Idol bubble land, not so much……………..
Does it really matter? Does anyone have a strong opinion one way or the other? That in itself is OTT to me. Why even care? How does it effect your life?
But you care enough for all of us which is good, join us in taking it to 2,000
Wrong. You should first try and find out if you have somehow wronged the people who “don’t.” And should you discover that you have done so, you apologize and try to better yourself in the future. And if going forward these people still don’t like or accept you and you have nothing left to give them, you then move on.
Of course it goes without saying that you should always do the right thing—no matter who’s professing what.
Pure idealism, no place in reality. If these idols or any stars for that matter spent time trying to always please everyone and backpedalling every time they make have an oops moment, they’d never get off the internet.
It will roll over like the bit of fluff it is and rightly so!No apologies required
My take on Kris’s ADD statement versus Adam’s sweaty and smelly is everyone sweats and smells, while only some people have ADD. Adam’s statement and use of fan can offend more fans. Kris’s statement would be insulting to people who have ADD or a child with it. I think all the idols say things that can be dumb at times. Adam and Danny and Sarver get more attention for their statements.
