People unveiled a sampling of its Top Sexiest Men Alive today (led by Johnny Depp, sooo boring a choice—what, were Brad Pitt and George Clooney busy?) and a few pop stars made the list. But they aren’t exactly who we would’ve selected:
John Legend (should have been Robin Thicke)
No offense to Mr. Legend, who is as cute as a cuddly button, but we’re still drooling over Robin’s “Sex Therapy” video. When Legend makes a music video that incorporates chocolate with groping models and using their legs as a frame, we’ll reconsider.
Chris Daughtry (should have been John Mayer)
It’s not that we don’t think Chris is pulling off the bald thing, we just think there are tons more relevant guitarists/singers out there who don’t resemble Popeye. Let’s pick a guy with too much hair—John Mayer, whose best asset is making his antics known , whether its releasing new music, like Battle Studies, Tweeting his brain off, or stepping out with every last Hollywood starlet. Even when he makes an ass of himself, he looks good while doing it.
Adam Lambert (should have been Kris Allen)
Adam’s on every frigging list this year, so People isn’t really thinking out of the box by including his eyeshadow-adoring face. Fierce as he is, we’re going with Kris Allen, mostly because he still manages to be super-adorable without relying on outrageous outfits or snake accessories.
Nick Cannon (should have been Drake)
He’s sexy in theory, but Nick’s married to Mariah Carey and the host of America’s Got Talent. Those two things alone subtract the allure. Let’s exchange him for Drake, who’s one of the biggest breakout stars this year, is hot enough to warrant rumors that he’s dating Rihanna and have people actually believe it, and hasn’t hosted any reality show competitions that could possibly sully his near-perfect image.
The Men of Glee (should have been The Men of Cobra Starship)
What, no wheelchair guy or token gay kid? Only the straight dudes with the ability to walk can get called sexy? Not cool, People. We’re trading out this trio with a group just as campy—the dudes of cheese-pop band Cobra Starship (Gabe Saporta, Ryland Blackinton, Alex Suarez and Nate Novarro). They’re as silly as the Glee guys, plus we wouldn’t be surprised if any one of them was a proud member of a show choir in high school.
Are we way off track, folks, or should we contact People and demand they revise their list? Leave your own sexy suggestions in the comments.
Seriously Becky Bain? This is tragic.
Becky I’m rooting for you really I am but, but really? What is this…. Your making it hard for me, I expect an apology immediately.
Mr.Middletown
LOL at wanting to replace Adam with Kwis.
Have you seen Adam in interviews? He’s so much more adorbale and precious than Kris. If he got any sweeter, I’d have cavities. He’s hilarious, charming and well spoken too. Kris is a cutie but personality wise, he is so, so awkward in interviews. Like the time he said “ew” on Seacrest’s show when the women caller called his voice “sexy”. And he talks about sweat, peeing, farting and eating kangaroo 24/7. That’s NOT sexy. At all.
Directly from People mag’s Twitter: “This list of #sexiestmenalive isn’t in order, save for our cover star – just a preview of who is in the issue”
Other than Johnny Depp, this isn’t the “top 15.”
MMMM Kris Allen. He’s hot!
@CH: Fixed. We, like many sites out there, took the photo gallery of their 15 men to be their Top 15. Thanks to you (and People’s Twitter) for clarifying.
Ok this is People’s Sexciest Men. Adam is sexy. Kris is cute. Adam deserves to #1 in my opinion. Idc what anyone says.
totally agree about Robin Thicke – he is pretty much sex on a stick :) But come on, Kris Allen? What exactly is sexy about him? He didn’t do anything sexual with piano on tour, did he? He’s more of a kitten, while Adam is a tiger, LOL…
Sorry. “Super-adorable” does not equal “sexy.” If Adam’s on every magazine cover it’s only because EVERYONE thinks he’s sexy!
I disagree with every one of your choices. Glad you weren’t the one choosing. ;)
Adam Lambert projects self-confidence. Kris Allen projects lost puppy dog.
Oh man. Gabe Saporta all the way…
Ew, Kris is about as sexy as Lysol.
Adam Lambert is #1 in my book!
Kris Allen is cute, but when it comes to sexy, Adam Lambert is the definition of hot and sexy. You got a lot of these wrong. I agree, glad you weren’t picking them.
Ya know what makes a guy sexy-it’s not a little boy cutie. It’s a gutsy individualistic honest articulate intelligent personable poised confident creative innovative motivated positive thinking guy (georgeous looking and great physique, oh yeah) who is interesting, thinks for himself, has a free spirit, honors his own emotions and is true to himself, whether you like it or not. Adam Lambert is perfect, Kris is adorable, but actually,Lambert is just as good-hearted as well. Perfect balance of dynamic/magnetic energy-and it’s all good energy that comes from Adam. That is why, with twitter and his fans word of mouth, we all stay in touch with what Adam is creating in his world. He is livin’ his life and is fascinating, intriguing, interesting.
ADAM IS NO. 1. NO ONE ELSE COMES CLOSE TO HIM!
IMO, Sexy = intelligent, articulate, confident, versatile & with balls made of steel. :) Adam rocks!
Kris being super adorable certainly doesn’t equate “sexy”. Look at the pictures of Adam & Kris side by side. Are you kidding me? Kris sexier than Adam? Not even on Kris’ best day and Adam’s worst day is that possible. I am very happy to see that Kris does own at least one shirt that isn’t a variation of plaid. Adam is the SEXIEST man alive!!!! And Adam does not rely on outrageous outfits or snake accessories to look sexy, apparently you didn’t see him perform “Tracks of My Tears”, “Feeling Good” or “A Change is Gonna Come” on American Idol, the acoustic version of “Starlight” on GMA or his numerous appearances while being interviewed.
Anyone who can’t tell that Adam is sexy must be living in a sensory deprivation tank!
ADAMMMMMMMMMM <33333333333 & COBRAAAA <33333333333 :)))))
Kris Allen Sexy? HaaahAAAAAAAHAAAAA… nope… not even close
Kris instead of Adam? It’s a list of the SEXIEST, not “the most ideal to meet your mother”!
Kris sexy?? omg….what a laugh, he is so boring, what is sexy about plaid and jeans and never anything else and the old puppydog ,underdog thing,, no spine….. give me sexy fierce intelligent, compassionate, sweet, humble, gorgeous Adam Lambert any time. Adam is one of the most courageous people on the planet, Kris is so laid back he has no energy, he’s comatose.
YES YES YES!!!
TO COBRA STARSHIP! WHAT OTHER BAND HAS ALL HOT MEMBERS?
ITS VERY RARE SO THEY SHOULD’VE TOTALLY BEEN ON THE LIST :D
FANGS UP!
OH && I THINK BOTH ADAM AND KRIS ARE HOT :D
I guess its guyliner ftw.
Kris Allen is way more sexier than Adam.
Adam dyes his hair. His real hair is red. He is a ginger. Kris is a natural. He doesn’t have to wear make-up to cover his freckles like Adam does or dye his hair.
LOL…all the same pro-Adam posts are interestingly RIGHT AFTER EACH OTHER…meaning most are FAKE. Someone with multiple accounts.
Kris Allen IS sexy, sexy as hell to those who like their men to be men and you can take that anyway you like. Sure Adam is good looking (when he is not hidden behind a thick layer of makeup) but for me nice and natural is the way to go. To Becky who made the comment that Kris didn’t do anything sexual with a piano during the tour, well you need to go back and look at the videos because most of the time Kris was humping that bench into kingdom come. And boring, I don’t think so, just because he doesn’t strut round and constantly seek attention doesn’t make him boring, people who don’t like Kris and constantly make that comment are the boring ones.
Kris instead of Adam? is this for”cutest puppy” list?
Kris is cute nice and laid back , but he’s boring, has no personality.
Adam is charming and well spoken, free spirit, intelligent, compassionate, sweet, humble and gorgeous.
I couldn’t agree with you more regarding Adam Lambert vs. Kris Allen in the sexy business. To me, sexy is not having to put all this dreck on you in an attempt to cover up. Therefore, I think Kris Allen has it hands down over Lambert. As a matter of fact, paunchy was never sexy to me, so I don’t get how Lambert squeezed his way on the list. Wonder how much they got paid.
Now…where is Jon Bon Jovi and Jason Castro on that list?
CABRA STARSHIP! <3
Kris Allen is adorable one way… Adam Lambert is adorable another.
But Lambert has got such a charisma and sexual energy to him,
sorry i have to go with Lambert.
I saw both of them perform live this summer. Kris Allen is cute and cuddly, but Adam Lambert is SEXY!!!
Becky, It’s 100 sexiest men, not 100 cute adorable little boys. Have you even seen any of Adam’s tour performances on youtube? If not, I suggest you check out Whole Lotta Love–Rosemont and David Bowie Medley–Philly and tell me Adam’s not sexy. I dare you to.
@Monster….You’re the one with the multiple accounts. Get over it already, Adam has more fans than your small, petty mind can even begin to comprehend.
I’d have made Adam Lambert # 1-not only because he is TALENTED & BEAUTIFUL & HOT as Hell, but because he is soooo unique and refreshing. He is charming beyond belief while still being completely genuine & true to himself. His good nature, intelligence, honesty, self-depreciating humor, love & loyality to his friends and family, confidence and humility(amazingly equally balanced) are characteristics that I find VERY APPEALING. Adam loves the world & accepts everyone (even those who don’t accept him). He is filled with enourmous appreciation for all the great artists that have gone before him and shows compassion for countless others around the world who struggle like he did to find their own peace and self acceptance. Inspite of all that I have just mentioned he still longs to find that one special “PERSON” to be his true love (which could either be either a guy or a girl). One last thing I forgot to mention before…Adam is also filled with tremendous generousity. (Don’t forget he asked his fans to stop sending him gifts and instead help others in need. He then directed them to a place where they could donate to needy school projects & raised a ton of money. He donated personal items to raise even more money & also personally went to deliver some of the gifts) That’s why Adam would be my # 1 GUY and I think even Kris would agree!
Kris Allen sexier than Adam Lambert?? Sure,he’s handsome,cute,cuddly,and safe,but he does nothing for my libido. Adam Lambert is also handsome….,and tall,charismatic,dreamy,funny…..let me tell you what he does to me!! Oops,sorry,can’t do it! There are decorum rules on these sites. You get the gist,though!
@Monster,the hair thing intrigues me. Looks like Kris will be losing his soon. Just making an observation. I like Kris!
odd, I thought Kris was on People’s list? I saw the kris fans crowing about it a few days ago that Kris made it and Adam didn’t? what happened?
I don’t think Kris is sexy. When I look at Kris I don’t think “damn I’d do him” that is what sexy is.
Adam. Way sexier. With or without eyeliner and snake accessories.
Kris = down home good looking boy next door = not SEXY = attractive ……………. ADAM = gorgeous fascinating mesmerizing (who is that hunk) boy next door most women would like for their neighbor = SEXXXXY! The person who wrote this article that says otherwise = IDIOT!!!!!!
If you want sexy! check out Olly on X Factor (Britains equivalent to American Idol)> He has the whole package! Yummy
Kris is a cutie and Adam is gorgeous freshfaced without makeup. They’re both hilarious and charming.
The correct answer is BOTH.
I don’t agree with you. I don’t find boring sexy in the least. Adam Lambert is not boring.
Adam Lambert should have been on the cover!! He is the sexiest man. Your suggestion to replace him with Kris is so funny I can’t stop laughing. When puppies become sexy I’ll read something you write again!!
Wow all you gals are really barking up the wrong tree in regard to Adam Lambert!
No MhS,not the wrong tree? It’s the ‘fantasy tree’ and anyone can bark up it (or climb it) if they choose. Yeah,yeah,yeah… we know Adam’s gay,unattainable,not our type….So what??
He’s sexy,exciting and palpitation-worthy. And he’s a really,really great singer!!
Your point??
If I have to explain why presunably heterosexual women are wasting their time finding Adam Lambert sexy than I really give up.
or presumabely as he case may be
the I have to stop now
