It’s Adam Lambert.
He’s got the looks, the personality, and the kid can sing.
This notwithstanding (and maybe because of) the minuscule coverage he has received so far on Season 8. You could tell when he walked into his first audition that the judges loved him already. He has a very timely pansexual quality- think Pete Wentz from Fall Out Boy.
The only potential snag: can he be the first (openly?) gay winner?
