I know that Adam LOVES performing. He loves being a pop star.
But I think it must sometimes bug the shit outa him. It must sometimes be so intrusive, invasive, objectifying, and crazy-making.
Most of us love him madly and treat him with respect both in person and online. But there are those..... Can you imagine having strangers asking him about the red mark on his neck and having to say it is a zit? If that is true, it is rather rude to point it out. We knew that as teenagers, right? If it is a love mark, it sure as hell isn't a matter for public comment and speculation.
Then there are the constant rumors about him being sick, or shacking up with some guy, or being rude to someone's 12 year old stalker daughter. There's folks posting info about his home, his groceries, his family, his insurance policies, his license plate number, his address, his private facebook photos. There are others who tell him not to smoke, not to do drugs, not to cut his hair, to shave off his beard, what to wear, what not to wear, what to say, what not to say. Folks intruding on his private time, trying to ambush him at a gay male stip club for goodness sake.
I can imagine there are times when it is all way to much, even if he is earning $10 million a year.

So well said, cassie. I'm with you on this. I don't think that we can, in our wildest dreams, imagine how it feels to be so loved and so public. To us, he is one, to him, we are legion.
In addition, the M+G's are such a potential threat to his health, IMO. Of those 20 to 100 people, the chances are very great that one of them is infectious. Not even saying they are choosing to go to the M+G even if they are sick, but many times we are infectious before we are symptomatic.

I'm watching snl and whoa are they painting ariana grande in a favourable light. She is in nearly every skit. She did one where she sang impersonating Britney, Whitney, shakira and rhianna and knocked it out of the park. I don't really want to like her lol, but she's making it hard not to

Or maybe take some time off and do some American songbook albums. JK, kinda. I know the odds of that happening are very very low, probably minuscule at this point. But hey, a girl can dream.
I would like to see him take some time off and relax.
I haven't seen Ariana on SNL yet, but I was impressed by her impersonation skills on Jimmy Fallon a while back:

I can imagine there are times when it is all way to much, even if he is earning $10 million a year. Actually, I think for the most part Adam is treated very, very well by fans. A few people are just rude and some people are too intrusive. But I think wondering if he is sick when he in on tour is not too intrusive. I saw and heard him in Atlantic City -- he sounded like he was not well. He did not do an encore tonight. I think speculating why is not intrusive. If Adam did not want people to speculate about the lack of an encore tonight, he has total control over it -- 1. Do the encore, or 2. Explain why not. It only takes 3 words. Other artist in this position explain it or have there PR people explain it.
