I don't really think it has anything to do with the singer/songwriter/original performer thing....I think it has everything to do with rabid fanbases and jealousy that someone else is performing their cupcake's music...especially should that particular performer be talented, as in Adam's case. IMO. 100% agree! But let me also respond to some others' comments about Adam getting criticzed for covers. That only comes from the original artist's stans. Adam gets plenty of great recognition for his covers! My advice, just ignore the comments. No one has to validate Adam to me. I know how incredible he is!

An TBF, Adam came from a cover show. And since 2009 he has been compared to them all. GM, Elvis, MJ, Prince, Freddie, Madonna. Heck imo he is basically them all combined. A Perfect Storm. HE is polarizing. SO I agree it is just the original artist stans. Go onto YT, mostly positive. I well say Majority loved the cover, and the minority are like a very faint squeek haha.

Fabulous game changing artists he is compared to! Icons! This OTT rabid fan loyalty has been emphasized with social media in recent years. Sure, singers have always had devoted fans, but fans couldn't unite and communicate like they can now. Before the time when we could all communicate globally and instantly, a simple performance of a cover song on a TV show wouldn't make much of a wave. But now, fan bases are cohesive and united and have names and cherish each breath their favorite performer takes. Good grief, this was one song sung as an homage to GM. It was sung very well, though not in its original way. LORDY! You'd think Adam had denigrated GM to the depths of all eternity simply by singing his song. And yes, we Glamberts are fiercely loyal to Adam. Anyone singing one of HIS songs is liable to get a little sniff and a "yeah, it was ok, but it sure wasn't Adam" sort of response from many of us. The GM fan comments are typical of what most loyal fans do now: DEFEND the "original" as if no one else even has the right to sing the song, and DENIGRATE the singer who dares to do so. Sad to say, it's what fandoms are like now. Adam did just fine. He didn't over-do it or under-do it. He just did it.

Judging by Terrance's snapchat & Adam's haircut, i think that vacation, we've speculated about, might be starting tomorrow!

Terrance and Johnny just did a snapchat saying that they are going on vacation tomorrow, but can't say where yet. Gay week in Mykonos Greece starts this week. Remember back when we discussed this possibility a few weeks ago and Adam was tagged in that Greek Villas Instagram. He got a haircut today, so he's good to go..lol We should know shortly..hopefully....if Adam will be going as well. ETA: I see Patti already posted. LOL.

Singing popular covers is just one way of getting people to notice you, because they are familiar with those songs. The fact that GM website posted about it, seems like a compliment to me. Why do some glamberts need to stir the pot even further by replying to fans who are just very loyal to their idol. There is room for everyone.
