Gene Simmons: I Don't Think Adam Lambert is a "Rock Singer"

Please direct your hate mail to Gene Simmons and not me. I know a lot of the Glamberts get confused with the stuff that get posted on Rickey.org, so just to make things very clear again: These are the opinions of Gene Simmons, the bassist and vocalist of KISS -- the band that Adam Lambert sang with during the American Idol finale. You know, where he wore the boots and the Thunderdome shoulder gear. So if you do not agree with Gene Simmons, please write him directly. Again, please direct your hate comments to Gene Simmons. Thank you.

Gene..

You rocked tonight on American Idol. Like always. U R a rock god!!!!!

If you cant can you hook Adam Lambert up with someone to get him started on the way to be another rock god like you.

My opinion is: Adam should of won American idol hands down. He is amazing. I have bought everything there is to buy of him on I tunes and I voted hundreds of times for him on Tuesday nights. actually sat here and voted and voted for hours for him.

Hope you actually get this and can send Adam somewhere he can start his rock n roll career .

Take care and big ass hugs to you,

Jodie

Response from Gene:

Respectfully, I don't think Adam is a rock singer. He sounds much more convincing singing ballads, and Broadway shows. His voice doesn't seem to have a "rock quality." But, I'm sure he's going to do just fine.
