A gentle reminder:
"4. Never question anyone's right to post, the appropriateness of a topic or define the proper what for an Adam fan or Adamtopia Member to behave. Let the moderators do their job."
What seems like over-the-top obsession to one is loyal devotion to another. There are some very passionate Adam fans who
* buy dozens of copies of any song/album Adam releases and give them to total strangers * constantly have playlists of Adam videos playing in the background on their computer 24 hours a day * vote hundreds of times in any poll where Adam is listed * scour the internet to find who designed every piece of clothing Adam wears * follow on twitter, facebook, instagram, snapchat anyone whose name has ever been connected to Adam * have Adam's autograph, picture or tattoo also tattooed on themselves * travel to the other side of the globe for an Adam concert, spending thousands of dollars for one show * travel across the country/continent to attend dozens of Adam concerts * buy VIP packages at every venue to have meet & greets with him multiple times * have websites devoted to Adam * write fanfics, poems and songs about Adam * draw multiple pictures of Adam and post all over the internet * track and discuss all the possible hook-ups Adam has had in the past 15 years * have Adam artwork on their walls, rooms dedicated to Adam, sheets and pillowcases with his picture * have Adam's picture painted on their car and an Adam-themed license plate * have a hundred homemade DVDs with Adam performances * Can name Adam's vocal range to the note and cite examples of each note * can name the key and time signature of every song Adam every sang * analyze every performance in meticulous detail, noting every difference and every glitch
etc. etc. etc. There are also fans who are just as devoted who have never been to a concert, never vote online, have only a single copy of any song released, rely on ATop only for Adam news, couldn't name one Adam boyfriend, hide their obsession from husbands, friends co-workers and family, and have no idea the difference between chest voice, head voice and falsetto (and don't give a sh?t.)
What you might think is a casual comment about an anonymous fan's OTT behavior might be addressing the passionate behavior of any member of this forum. I am not advocating censorship, but I AM suggesting that there is no reason to share your opinion about other fans' ways of enjoying Adam.
Thanks!

Guys' obsessions often manifest in other ways, like a sport or a team. My son in law has a whole Star Wars room! It is pretty crazy! It is all fantasies! ❤️ I suppose I have to correct myself a little. I do remember when my sons had their bedroom walls covered with photos and posters and albums of their favorite bands. Heavy metal for one kid, a little lighter stuff for the other. They were never big into sports but they DID display lots of music stuff. But I think that's a little different from this woman's OTT devotion. JMO. I love Adam in so many ways, and he has enriched my life! But my walls are my own, thank you. LOL. My walls are my own and I choose to have Adam all over them..... :D I can't think of anything prettier to look at! I agree Adam can handle touchy fans. I probably should have just ignored that gif...not a positive for the subject or the poster.

Folks, including me, have tweeted RHPSFox about teasing an Adam transformation.

This is a shame. I bet Adam would have visited it when QAL went to Tel Aviv. Logo @logotv 40m40 minutes ago Tel Aviv said goodbye to the gay bar "Evita": Yes, I was thinking that QAL would arrange their schedule so they arrived with some time for sightseeing. I think Adam definitely would have checked out Evita.

I gotta hand it to her husband. He is more tolerant than most guys would be with her level of "devotion." My husband likes Adam just fine and he "gets" him. But I think he'd object to decorating whole rooms in our home with an Adam theme. Girls are given a lot more leeway when it comes to swooning over celebrities. I can't imagine a wife being so accepting of her husband's adoration of a star to the same extent. But HEY! If it all works for them in their marriage, then I say, good for them! They seem happy. As guys often say: Happy wife, happy life. LOL And yes, he did not like her trying to touch his face. Boundaries!!!!!! I found it very moving how Adam tried to stop her from touching his face in such a gentle way.

FAITH Lyrics
Well I guess it would be nice
If I could touch your body
I know not everybody
Has got a body like you
But I've got to think twice
Before I give my heart away
And I know all the games you play
Because I play them too
Oh but I
Need some time off from that emotion
Time to pick my heart up off the floor
And when that love comes down
Without devotion
Well it takes a strong man baby
But I'm showing you the door
'Cause I gotta have faith...
Baby
I know you're asking me to stay
Say please, please, please, don't go away
You say I'm giving you the blues
Maybe
You mean every word you say
Can't help but think of yesterday
And another who tied me down to lover boy rules
Before this river
Becomes an ocean
Before you throw my heart back on the floor
Oh baby I reconsider
My foolish notion
Well I need someone to hold me
But I'll wait for something more
Yes I've gotta have faith...

I can only make quick little visits here in recent weeks so sorry if this has been discussed and I should know.....
But is there a live stream or whatever for the Thursday show? Any chance of seeing it live in the UK? (...at whatever ungodly hour).
Thanks in advance...
