31 years ago today, the Gods in Glitter Heaven had a drunken orgy and immediately conceived and birthed an heir to the throne ... whom they dubbed Adam Lambert. Before he can take his rightful place as ruler, he must prove himself worthy by walking amidst the mortals and guiding them toward the path to salvation ... a path paved with studded bracelets, guyliner, and sheer fabulousness.

As we continue on this journey with him, let's stop to pay tribute to some of the reasons why he's made such an indelible impression. 31 Reasons, actually ... why we love birthday boy Adam Lambert

(In no particular order)

1. "Mad World"

 

2. He Caused Cover Boy Controversy

Adam appeared on the cover of Entertainment Weekly during his Season Eight run, becoming the first (and only) Idol contestant to achieve that recognition before the season's winner was announced.

 

3. He Gives Good Interview, Part One

As if anyone needed any more proof that Adam had made it, he sat down with the Queen herself.

 

4. He Gave Bill O'Reilly The Vapors

During the insanity of Season Eight of American Idol, old photos surfaced showing the not-officially-out Adam kissing another guy, which sent the Idol-verse into a tailspin. Always on the pop culture cutting-edge, Bill O'Reilly convened a panel to discuss whether America was ready for a same-sex snogging winner, but in order to not offend the delicate senses of his audience, he cropped the picture, which had the hilarious effect of making it more provocative (were they using ... tongues?).

5. He Officially Came Out In A Very Rock And Roll Way

 

6. "A Time For Miracles"

 

7.He made The American Music Awards watchable

Adam caused tongues to wag (and possibly gave Bill O'Reilly palpitations) during his American Music Awards performance, which was memorably and hilariously raunchy. He took the predictable aftermath in stride.

 

8. "For Your Entertainment"

9. He Gives Good Interview, Part Two

In this chat with Australian host Byron Cooke, Adam has to explain that Byron just isn't his type ... he likes guys a bit more delicate.

 

10. "Trespassing"

 

11. He Gives Back

 

12. He's Instructive

 

13. He Gives Good Interview, Part Three
