Yay onward to 3,000,000 Morning musings.. I tried to take a nap inorder to catch Adam in Las Vegas.. oh well,plans didn't work out.. just kept sleeping I think Rob Thomas is a wonderful songwriter/singer.. He's been around way longer than Adam and has had major success with Matchbox 20 and then as a solo artist. I believe that he took a break to care for his sick wife. My favorite song by Rob is Smooth with Santana,another favorite of mine..I danced my tush off to that song. I so love that Rob is one of the secure and humble artists in the business ,who gives kudos to a new star,Adam.So many pop stars, IMHO, would rather die than give a fellow artist their due. Adam is one of the caring,praiseful singers who shows appreciation for other singers..One of the things I love about Adam and now love about Rob. Opening for Rob is not a bad thing in my book.Sometimes it just works out that way. Adam is paying his dues to radio on this tour ,It's not his own tour. IMO,It's all good. www.youtube.com/watch?v=28E8WKZ614wFrom Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia "Smooth" Single by Santana featuring Rob Thomas from the album Supernatural Released June 29, 1999 Format CD single Recorded 1999 Genre Latin rock pop rock Length 4:58 (album version) 4:00 (radio edit) Writer(s) Rob Thomas Itaal Shur Producer(s) Matt Serletic Certification Platinum (US) Santana singles chronology "Say It Again" (1985) "Smooth" (1999) "Maria Maria" (2000) Rob Thomas singles chronology "Smooth" (1999) "A New York Christmas" (2003) "Smooth" Sample from "Smooth" by Santana featuring Rob Thomas Problems playing this file?

That's how I know Rob Thomas, from that single. Love it! Great to dance to... Though I have learnt more about him in the last 24hrs than I ever knew.. Adam and the top 13 AI contestants sang this song, and Carlos Santana made it a point to shake Adam's hand during the performance. Adam Lambert and Carlos Santana - Smooth - Finale - 20/05/09 - Latinglamberts Arg www.youtube.com/watch?v=Y07lnFrGatwI've never seen that before, cheers. What's the story behind the handshake there, why only Adam's hand, is there some history there? I've not seen AI, only clips since getting into Adam. It was only yesterday I saw Adam's take on A Change Is Gonna Come, love the original, love Adam's version.

It was only yesterday I saw Adam's take on A Change Is Gonna Come, love the original, love Adam's version. There was no question by people in the industry who the star of that season was. Halfway thru the season everybody wanted to be there to see the new rock star. It really did feel on finale night like crowning a new king of rock and roll. (of course I may be biased) eta: also adding hear that I luv Kris and although I was shocked at the time I understand how he won. Even Adam's brother was encouraging voting for Kris up till the last day. So winner and star are two different things.

Looks like the ALN YouTube video counter is working again. I think opening for Rob Thomas was a great gig for Adam. Being exposed to another respected artist's fanbase is a great way to build his own fanbase. This was a total win-win for Adam.

He did a lovely rendition of Wicked Game too. Now why would Adam's brother encourage voting for Kris? I did see both Adam and Kris perform with Queen on AI and was in no doubt who had the stronger vocals from that performance. www.youtube.com/watch?v=GYjtf0jW33gQ3 reminder: WE ARE NOT REHASHING AI SEASON 8 -- OR RE-RE-RE-RE-DISCUSSING THE VOTE.
