    Tokio Hotel Fans don’t suggest, we affirm Adam Lambert COPIES Bill Kaulitz’s style!
    Adam Lambert is a COPYCAT!

  2. Sarah

    Adam Lambet COPYING Bill Kaulitz from head to toe

    Bill Kaulitz at the MTV EMA in november 2009, and Adam Lambert at the vevo’s party in december 2009.

    ADAM COPYCAT!

  3. Sarah

    Bill Kaulitz ‘s lion mane was last seen in 2008, where was Adam in 2008? lol

  4. terie

    Tokio Hotel fans should calm down. ADAM isn’t trying to copy Bill or anyone else. TH fans are just being petty in accusing ADAM of imitating Bill. Why don’t they just support THEIR artist and lay this BS to rest. ADAM has had nothing but NICE things to say about Bill. Why don’t they try doing the same for ADAM? GOOD GRIEF!!

  5. Sarah

    This is Adam in his High School years:


    Does it look like he was sporting this look back then?

    And here is Bill Kaulitz 10 years ago:

    Piercing, makeup, black hair, painted nails. He was only 10 years old, and still sporting this look.

    Adam was rocking his style long before he (or anyone else outside of Germany) knew who Bill Kaulitz was. Here’s Adam in full makeup, feathered costume, etc, since “A Change Is Gonna Come” at the Zodiac club in 2004, when Adam was 22 and Bill was not yet 14: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5t0V1YqbRA8

    Here’s Adam in 2008, sporting the same hair he has now minus the blond streaks, also performing at the Zodiac club: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wXvSA6QL7Ac&feature=fvw

    Bill never wore his hair in the slicked back style he’s wearing now until late 2009.

    Let’s face it – both men are performer who like a similar style. Bill may have been developing his own sense of style from an earlier age, whereas Adam took longer to discover his artist persona (which, like Bills, morphs and changes periodically) but there’s no evidence that Adam “copied” him based upon the links posted above.

    Saying Adam copies Bill is like asying Bill copied David Bowie with the “Edgy” hair and eyeliner. Neither is true.

  17. Hey Idolator, whassup with the psycho fan/hater invasion lately? First Kelly Clarkson and now this. Can’t you put a leash on some of these peeps? Thanks!

  18. Anita

    To SARAH: Adam is sexually attracted to Bill. He doesn’t want to LOOK like him. You have a problem. Please quit!!!!

  19. Sarah

    Adam COPIES a LOT of things from Bill, That’s why it looks like Adam’s trying to morph into bill kaulitz.
    Adam is not only sexually attracted to Bill, he said Bill is his hair idol and he says he likes Bill styles and that he wants to go shopping with him (i guess so he could buy the exact same things Bill buys) hahaha

    Adam wants to LOOK like Bill! Just look at the pics and all the stuff adam copies from Bill!

  20. Mimi

    Sarah – please look at the links to the youtube videos I posted above, once from 2004 and the other from September 2008. Then please tell me how a man who wore feathers, black “leather”, makeup and spiky hair when Bill Kaulitz was an UNKNOWN OUTSIDE OF GERMANY kid of 13 (who might have had spiky hair and eyeliner but wasn’t yet into the feathers etc) could be copying. It doesn’t make sense.

    You have blinders on. BOTH men are stylish. Why does one have to be copying the other?? Bill’s hair slicked back is a brand-new look for him late in 2009. Adam’s been wearing that look on and off for YEARS. Yet I wouldn’t think to say Bill is copying Adam. They’re both trying out different styles and both seem to have similar tastes. End of story.

  21. Sarah

    LoL st Mimi, the hair slicked back is like the most common hairstyle in men! ahahahahahahahahahahahaha

  22. ianaleah

    Get a grip, Adam wore that hairstyle before, and hundreds of guys bought those pants-so the same taste in the current jeans available is nothing-just like all the photos of ladies in the same dress for ‘who wears it better’- the current stuff is going to be worn by many people-it’s so darn asinine tomake something of nothiing. Stupid,stupid,stupid.. Adam and Bill don’t give a hoot, so only fools will freak out.

  23. Sarah

    I don’t see adam with spiky hair there and adam had a trash look, something similar to a drag queen, not Bill Kaulitz’s style, which adam has been copying at least since 2009.

  24. tothemoon

    This is why Bill Kaulitz was voted “Most Annoying German.”

    His fans are an embarrasment, scary and stalkerish

  25. Mimi

    The most common hairstyle in men? Really? It might have been popular for “regular guys” in the 50′s and 60′s (i.e. Elvis’s era) but I don’t know too man men who wear it today, unless they’re 1. a performer like Adam, or 2. Are trying out to play Danny Zuko in GREASE. I’d like to see a picture of any famous men other than Adam and Bill, who adopted the hair style after Adam, wearing their hair this way for anything other than a particular role/performance. Besides, if it’s so common, why did Bill never wear his hair like that before late 2009? Adam’s gone on record to say that hairstyle was inspired for him by Elvis.

    I also noticed you ignored all the other parts of my post and did not comment on the 2004 video of Adam wearing feathers long BEFORE Bill ever had the desire (or perhaps courage?) to wear similar clothing on stage or in public.

    Get a grip and stop the hate.

  26. ianaleah

    I abhor the idolator staff for tying to tear Adam down, when they know better, they know better, they know better, so it is intentional-the idolator staff disgusts, repulses me for trying to generate hatred and ill will between fans of both singers-deliverately creating problems instead of unifying and harmonizing fans of these aritists-sure they wrote ‘staff’ because unlike Adam these scuz bags don’t have the courage to be honest and stand by what they print. Disgusting low life people.Deliberately generating hatred between fan groups, deliberately trying to make a mountain of a mole hiill. I hope they are all fired, see how it feels to have someone mess with their careers.

    • I’m sorry you’re unhappy. But how are we trying to tear Adam down by reporting a news story that originated on other sites? The beef between Adam fans and Bill fans in regards to both artists’ fashion choices was already there – it wasn’t us who started it. It is, however, a big enough debate for us to report and comment on (as everyone here is doing).

  27. Faith

    It’s always been obvious to me that Adam’s look is much more modern day Elvis. The exaggerated hair and moves are a dead give-away. In the fifties Elvis was outrageous in his hairstyle and music and dancing. Why would Adam want to copy a kid like Bill? Admire him..sure, but copy…NO
    Too bad Bill wouldn’t tell his fans to stop this nonsense and grow up like Adam did.

  28. Mimi

    Sorry, Sarah – you did comment in a later post, calling Adam’s look trash. I concur with tothemoon…you’re an embarrassment to Bill and Tokio Hotel in general.

    I happen to be a fan of BOTH Adam and Tokio Hotel (which I had never heard of before Adam tweeted about Bill being “pretty”). I went on to buy their cds, but I think after this exchange I would hesitate to identify myself as a Tokio Hotel fan. You’re too filled with hate and judgement.

  29. You stupid idiot

    Look at this video of Adam in 2008. You are stupid!

    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wXvSA6QL7Ac&feature=fvw

  30. You stupid idiot

    @Sarah, who knew Bill when he was 10 though?

  31. Faith

    Wow, it looks to me like maybe Bill saw that youtube of Adam at the Zodiac in 2008 and decided he liked that ‘do’ and decided to wear his hair like Adams’!

  32. Tj

    LOL…omg…. BK fans are ridiculous, what a stupid thing to get upset about, but good publicity for both guys, stupid fans do have their uses.

  33. BKM

    HEY BK FANS, GUESS WHAT JUSTIN BEIBER STOLE HIS LOOK FROM ZAC EFROM… BETTER GO AFTER HIM NOW TOO!! what a bunch of mindless superficial idiots you all are.

  34. Rita

    i don´t like it >>>> BK copy
    Bill is better XD
    Important is the heart but the image is completly the same but Adam IS horrible :S

    ADAM WHAT ARE YOU DOING?

    ADAM WHAT ARE YOU DOING?

  36. Sarah

    @Faith You win the award for the dumbest and most delusional person in the universe. Your comment is so dumb it’s even funny

  37. Faith

    Not as funny or delusional as yours are. Just the very idea that Adam would copy any young punk is hilarious! He’s too masculine looking to look anything like Bill.

  38. Phyton

    Sarah, I want to point out about the photos u posted of ‘Bill Kaulitz at the MTV EMA in november 2009, and Adam Lambert at the vevo’s party in december 2009′. U claimed
    ‘Adam Lambert COPYING Bill Kaulitz from head to toe’. Seriously, there’s already a difference with the hairstyles – Bill has fringe coming down n Adam doesn’t duh?! Their makeup is also different etc. I’m not trying to be nitpicky about their looks because knowing u, that could go on the whole day.

    My point is, why are you so fixed on defending Bill n bashing Adam? You hold on to the ‘Adam is a copycat’ words so much and look what it did to you? You waste your energy on fighting for a statement that cannot be proven right or wrong. You waste your time posting so many links to Adam crushing on Bill but that doesn’t prove the copycat issue. It only showed that Adam has an eye for Bill’s beauty and that to me is a beautiful thing! Bill should be flattered and, as a Bill’s fan, so should you!

    Being a Bill’s fan, u clearly do not know Adam so what basis do you have to judge him and call him trash? It hurt me n it hurts him n it hurts those who know him. It looks like your love for Bill has blinded you n your narrow-mindedness has made u close your doors to others. Adam is highly creative n talented n intelligent, n he has strong n distinct tastes. He is gay n has lived his life being alienated and taunted by ppl who r prejudice (like you), yet he is able to live such a self-assured n positive life! He brushes off hate n embraces u with love. Being ‘famously’ honest n true to himself n loving, he has taught n inspired so many n that in turn has won him millions of fans worldwide! The important things in life is not just about appearances n looks (which is clearly the only thing u see). Adam is one rare human being who is truly beautiful inside n out n if u open your heart n eyes n learn more about him, u will see that too.

    It is because of Adam that I noticed Bill but seriously, it is ppl like you who r turning me off so please stop already before it backfires on your idol! Relax, n find reasons not to hate but to love instead!

  39. Annie

    Perfectly said!!!!

  40. Jurnee

    @Sarah You need to seek some professional help because you’ve clearly gone right around the bend. That any fan would get that invested over who had a “look” first – when male pop stars have been wearing eye shadow, black nail polish and crazy hairdo’s since the 70s is scary.

  41. Ventfoil

    Sarah, you need a life.

  42. over_it

    and no one knew who the fuck he was when he was 10….hence no one could copy him back then. you idiots need to get a fucking life…

  43. Why?

    wtf does it matter is he copied him or not? like really come on people.

  44. To @Phyton

    Beautiful post. Great insight and rational comments.

    Unfortunately your wisdom,and the wise words of many here,will not get through to someone like @Sarah. She’s uber-bent on propelling her silly,irrational litlle snit-fit onto the universe and she does not rely on intelligent reasoning for she appears to be void in that category!! Adam likes and admires Bill K. Obvously,she can’t get that through her hate-filled brain (?). And speaking of copying.She has copying down to a science — copy,paste,copy,paste,copy,copy,copy………….!!

    She’s in need of some serious hobbies or her internet-bullying will ‘get ‘her (and I thinks it’s starting to show)!

    @Jurnee . You said it. All this over a ‘look’?

  45. mintea

    You know, I’m looking at those pictures that Sarah posted … and ‘m seeing something that Adam has, and Bill doesn’t… But I won’t say what :P I’m sure you can figure it out on your own ;)

  46. Faith

    Talent? LOL

  47. BB

    @mintea,

    I was going to say freckles…..but I think you’re referring to the eyebrow piercing! Adam doesn’t have one YET,but call the style police if he should ever decide to get one! (I’m sure Ms. Sarah will be first in line to point that out!) Afterall,no one on the entire planet,except Bill K.,has an eyebrow pierce. If they do,they collectively must be copying Mr. Kaulitz!!

    Scandalous!!!

  48. BB

    @mintea,

    After re-reading your post,I guess I should rephrase and say unadorned eyebrows. Yes…..Adam HAS unadorned eyebrow(s)(no piercing),Bill Kaulitz DOESN’T (he has a piercing).

    Whew!!

    I felt I should clarify because I don’t want to be accused, by a certain someone, of not answering your comment in the context by which it was worded.

    That would be an entirely new scandal,I’m sure!!

  49. jl

    Coping from an unknown 10 year old from nowhere?! FUNNY!!!
