Adam Lambert has been named one of PEOPLE Magazine's Hottest Bachelors of 2009. In the article, Adam says, "The biggest risk I've ever taken is going on American Idol and trying to be myself. I wasn't going to try too hard to conform, and I knew that it could possibly not work out."

It worked for Adam, as America voted him into second place.

The Hottest Bachelors issue of PEOPLE will be out this Friday.

Congrats, Adam!
