Question from TommyT: Adam, what was the strangest that that happened to you while participating in American Idol?

Question from EllenF: Is your eyeliner permanent? If not, what brand of eyeliner is your favorite?

Question from JacksonBliss: Adam, considering how versatile your voice is, will it be tough picking one genre for a future album? Or will you do a little of everything?

Question from T23: Were the boots that you wore while performing with kiss comfortable? Lol cuz they didn't look like it.

Question from kryskay: Adam! You are extremely talented, my favorite this season!!!! You will be iconic, who would you say helped you the most in becoming who you are?

Question from bano: I absolutely adore you and think you are incredible! How did it feel when Katy Perry came out wearing your name on her cape? Did you know she was gonna do that?

Adam Answers: No, I did not know. I was shocked and so flattered, my mouth dropped open and I thought “No Way”! I thought to myself that if I went home that night, it would have been just fine. I am a huge fan of Katy.

Question from laurenwink: With all the seasons of American Idol that have transpired, why did u choose to audition this year and not before?

Question from Kevnosity: How do you feel about the tabloids exploiting your personal life?

Question from MeggLizz: Adam, I love you sooo much!! You are amazing!! What singer/band do you get the most inspiration from, or is it all just plain Adam?

Adam Answers: It is a little bit of both. A lot of what I do is just go with my gut. But I love music and take things in through osmosis. I was lucky to be able to perform music by some of my favorite on the show. Robert Plant, Jeff Buckley, Muse, Michael Jackson are some of my inspirations.

Question from piney: Hey, Adam. You always dressed to impress. What was your favorite outfit that you wore?

Adam Answers: I really liked my outfit for “Whole lotta love” by Led Zeppelin. There is a company skingraft and the designers are friends of mine, they did that jacket and several other that I have been wearing. Including the black leather jacket I wore in the photo shoots. I love clothing so much and it is really rewarding to be able to feature the work of my friends.

Question: What did Kris say to you at the end of “We are the champions”?h
