Gay, lesbian and transgender performers have won Grammys, Oscars and topped the charts, but they will never win American Idol. Here's why.

Why LGBT Performers Never Won 'American Idol'

Series was built on being mean. But a special sort of meanness was reserved for auditioners that fell into the queer end of the spectrum


By Rae Votta April 4, 2016

Squarely in the middle of Idol's tenure, Adam Lambert showed up with a powerhouse voice that Cowell called "theatrical" in his first audition, clearly coded language for "you're probably too gay for America." Still, he was undeniably talented, and sailed through the competition with genre-bending performances that became water cooler fodder. Lambert's run was one of the last must-watch live TV moments in a media landscape that was shifting to streaming and DVR and on-demand. It's almost incorrect to call Lambert closeted, since he wasn't in his private life, and when pictures of him kissing an ex-boyfriend surfaced during the season he didn't deny them or diminish them, but he still never said, "I'm gay," in a public forum until after the show ended. The show never seemed to ask him, either, all the while parading newlywed Kris Allen and recently widowed Danny Gokey's private lives throughout their packages. Idol let Lambert stand on showmanship and talent alone, but in that passed up the opportunity to change what American Idol could be.

25 minutes to show time... The Beginning of the End....

Lol, I'm giggling to myself because I'm feeling a little schmoopy and I never even watched the show, except for part of Adam's season. My ears can't take all the horrible singing

I would have missed my sweetie altogether if it hadn't been for the Clay fans discussing him and me getting curious about this person they were talking about all the time (not always favorably lol).

The rest is history...so for that, AI, thank you

You're not alone... I'm feeling schmoopy too....

The show DID bring us Adam but it's also the end of an era for many of us...

I think idol is a big loss to the industry. As it tends to resonatewith the maases more then the industrt does. That and xf and the voice cant discover legit stars like idol has. Adam, Carrie, Kelly etc. The big three.

I don't watch the Voice either, but HAS that show produced any stars like AI? I tried to discuss that with a coworker the other day, but she loves the Voice and got so defensive when I brought up that point, I just let it drop. She claims that a lot of the people on the Voice have gone on to tour, etc.

It doesn't seem like you ever hear about any of them, though
