His music isn't genius, but it's listenable and enjoyable. He's a thoroughly decent guy IRL, unlike Justin Bieber. Adams' first album was released when he was about 20; not too much older than Bieber, so the Bieb's douchey behavior has less to do with youth, and more to do with being a douchebag. Adams has campaigned all over the world for human rights.

Favorite songs: Not the radio hits, oddly. I like "Do I Have To Say The Words?" from Waking Up The Neighbors, and "Another Day" from Into The Fire.
