They often say that Adam Lambert is destined for greatness, which would, of course, translate into a successful career while also managing to breathe new life into the music industry. If one asks Barbara Walters, the famous television personality, she would probably agree to that as well, especially since she just named the American Idol runner-up as one of this year’s most fascinating people, as the Examiner can confirm.

Whatever Adam Lambert does these days is certain to grab headlines, and we’re not necessarily talking about causing a controversy with his performance at the American Music Awards 2009, which, for many, was more than what they could stomach. With an incredible voice, talent to spare and, most importantly, fearlessness and a certain ability that makes him very endearing with all kinds of audiences, Adam Lambert is undoubtedly the hottest pop / rock star of the moment.

Barbara Walters agrees. “Adam Lambert has made quite a splash over the course of the past several months, and Barbara Walters has taken host. The popular anchor, known for both ‘20/20’ and ‘The View,’ has identified the American Idol runner-up as one of her ‘10 Most Fascinating People of 2009.’ Lambert is certainly in good company, as some of the other subjects include NFL star Brett Favre, reality fixture Kate Gosselin, former Alaska Governor Sarah Palin, and Lady Gaga, who helped co-write a song for Lambert’s ‘For Your Entertainment’,” the Examiner writes.

As the e-zine also notes, Adam is in very good company, Lady Gaga also making the list of Walters’ fascinating people for the year that is about to end. The television personality has already interviewed both Adam and Gaga, with the special show, “Barbara Walters Presents: The 10 Most Fascinating People of 2009” being scheduled to air next Wednesday, December 9, on ABC. The first promo shots with Gaga and Lambert have already been released, and are included in this article.

Meanwhile, Adam Lambert is keeping his fans up to date with everything in his life via his Twitter page. Speaking of the AMAs controversy, one point that he’s trying to make is that it was a one-time event and that he’s heading in a different direction now. “AMA performance was a one time event. Goin in a new direction now. Focus back on the music. Don’t worry friends: I’m still gonna be me. Always. W/o appologies. Just gonna experiment differently w how I present myself. I’m learning. :)” Adam tweeted just hours ago.

I believe Adam will be one of the greats too. I thought that from the first time he opened his mouth to sing on American Idol. I never really paid much attention to that show but he certainly caught my attention. He has this really unusual combination of dangerousness and boy next door charm. He's a good bad boy. He has no filter and he's very articulate when speaking.

But that voice, that voice is what gets me. From low to high to rockstar wail in seconds. His voice is so effortless and controled. I picked up his CD there are songs are there that do showcase his range.

I love Barbara and she knows what she is doing. Adam Lambert IS FASCINATING. His personality is atracting and wonderful. Add to that an incredible voice and you got One heck of a STAR. The world of music was waiting for soneone like ADAM LAMBERT. Like ELLEN said: He is an amazingly talented artist. We are going on a great ride with Adam. He proved his talent with his 1st album. Every song IS A WINNER> go Adam, We love you. Can't wait to see you talking to Barbara.

Adam is definately one of the most fascinating people around in my opinon too. He is so charismatic and to see him perform live is like being utterly taken over. His voice is mesmerizing! He is always so well spoken, but you never know what he will say because he is starkly honest and unfiltered, but genuinely kind at the same time. He is also majorly sexy!! If you don't get that, watch his video for the song For Your Entertainment - WOW!! Love the man, love the album!!

He was voted as One Of The Sexiest Men of 2009 by People Magazine and Sexiest Man, 2009 by Straddlephere. Men's Health has him as One of the Most Influential Men of the Year, 2009 as well. Not bad for a kid few knew before American Idol. He could very well be this year's biggest Break Out Artist. I think he will revolutionize music the way we here it. He is all ready making a cultural change. I hope he does get to do Judas in Jesus Crist Superstar as a Broadway made for Movie Event. That would be nice.

Adam is interesting. He is so talented and really didn't need all the dust-up swirling around him because his Voice is all that should be important! His CD is amazing.

All of this controversy says more about us the public than it does about him. People love to feed off of the drama and negativity of these celebrities and junk rides in the side-car with their talent which is really distracting.

The emerging of that dumbo Perez Hilton and that kind of irresponsible reporting,etc. swarms as soon as anyone in show-biz emerges with talent and it just seem all so ugly!

Isn't real talent enough anymore? Or do talented people have to become controversial to be noticed? What has happened to Adam Lambert is showing us that ;here is a guy with a big talented voice which has no peer right now in pop music but critics would rather write paragraphs about his love life or some such garbage instead.

Hopefully, Lambert can put all of this behind him and just sing.

Of course Adam is EXTREMELY FASCINATING in every way from top to bottom... he has what it takes to be fascinating #1 he's genuine and so sincere not many people you can say that about. I have never been interested in anyone before but this is different A.L. sends out positive messages to all ages and again not many people can do that... I want to thank him for sharing his journey with us.. his music brings me peace of mind and for me this is the first time that someone can reach me with their music. No matter how down I'm feeling his music touches me and puts me on cloud nine and that is AMAZING....now if that's not FASCINATING I don't know what else is.. he is truly a God sent for so many people. Adam I take my hat off to you stay as sweet as you are and stay true to yourself for it's that person we all fell for... and in your beautiful eyes there lies sincerity. Lots of LOVE from one of you fans who will always stand by your side.
