I'm a fan (and you should be too) because...

1. He's one of the most gifted singers I've ever heard. That POWER, that RANGE, that TONE...just perfection.

2. He's one of the most talented performers I've ever seen. The way he works that stage, from the way he styles himself to the way he moves his body and shows expression on his face - he's got me captivated from the first second to the last.

3. He's intelligent, eloquent, and well-spoken.

4. He's confident, but not c***y. He's got enough self-assuredness that it gives him a "swagger" but not too much that it's a turn-off.

5. He knows exactly who he is, and isn't ashamed about a thing. That's the most inspirational thing about him - he's showing people across the world that it's okay to be a little "weird" and that it's important to be yourself no matter what.

6. He's a hard worker, and doesn't give up. Another very inspirational thing about Adam - his journey shows that if you work hard to accomplish something and stay focused, eventually you will get there.

This confident, hard-working, well-spoken, and BRILLIANT artist is MY American Idol, and always will be.
