This will likely quickly get buried but given last thread discussion about Gagas performance I wanted to post as a point for continuing discussion...
I'm currently reading the altogether sublime "The Art of Asking" by Amanda Palmer - this passage just jumped out at me:
"There's a difference between wanting to be looked at and wanting to be seen. When you are looked at, your eyes can stay blissfully closed. You suck energy, you steal the spotlight. When you are seen, your eyes must be open, as you are seeing and recognizing your witness. You accept energy and you generate energy. You create light. One is exhibitionism, the other is connection..."
Gaga has always struck me as someone who wants to be looked at. David Bowie wanted to be seen. And I think Adam also wants to be seen.

My dad who hates anyone fronting Queen. Loves Adam with Queen. Big bowie fan too haha. His career trajectory wont be the normal straight to megastardom. Big hits etc. But its one I believe well have longevity. He well make q cultural impact. On Lgbts, the same way Mj did with African American artist's.

Chic's Nile Rodgers on David Bowie and Disco's Greatest Band www.westword.com/music/chics-nile-rodgers-on-david-bowie-and-discos-greatest-band-7558825 via @westword_music Adam mentions..Chic, which headlines the Paramount Theatre on February 19, has been nominated to the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame ten times (a record), but has not yet been enshrined — a fact that leaves group leader Nile Rodgers perplexed, to say the least. But in many ways, that doesn't matter — since Rodgers, in a very real sense, is a hall of fame, as well as the most amazing name-dropper of all-time. Not that he seems to realize he's doing it. His mentions of friends, colleagues and acquaintances such as Paul McCartney, Pharrell, Prince, Elton John, Diana Ross, Adam Lambert and so many more are as casual as if he was discussing his plumber or the kid who sacks his groceries. ..........The only difference with "Get Lucky" was that it was such a big hit. The experience was the same. Playing with Pharrell and Guy-Manuel [de Homem-Christo] and Thomas [Bangalter] was exactly the same as when I played with Madonna or Avicii or Adam Lambert. I've had a lot of records in the last few years, well before "Get Lucky." But "Get Lucky" just happened to be a hit. ..........
Avicii is one of my favorite composers in the world. He and I can write six songs in a day without dropping a beat. It's not even difficult. As a matter of fact, I wrote a song with Avicii and Adam Lambert. Avicii had just come home from a show and he was really tired, and he was sick. So we worked on the song and got it to the point where it was grooving, and he said, "Okay, I'm really tired. I've got to go to bed." And he didn't know, behind his back, I called Prince and I called Adam Lambert. Prince sent me over some girls he was managing. Adam Lambert had a hangover and I told him to get on the treadmill and walk it off. He came over, I wrote the song, finished the song, and when Avicii woke up at 8:30 the next morning, I said, "Check your inbox." And it was ready. The record was finished — a record called "Lay Me Down" that did really well. www.youtube.com/watch?v=bIuWDdDOk9Q

Lady Gaga rattles through eight David Bowie songs in Grammys tribute dailym.ai/1TkqgRG via @dailymailceleb Adam mention.. And Adam Lambert marveled at the special effects that opened her set, tweeting: 'Wow! loved that facial mapping technology for the Space Oddity intro to your Bowie tribute.'
