I can honestly say that my (right-handed) parents never held a fork in their right hand their whole lives; never held a fork without a knife and always ate off the back of the fork. Even peas! They put their knife and fork on the plate between every mouthful - crossed to show they weren’t finished. My mother loved Adam; wished all men wore a little makeup and was intrigued by his ‘laced up trousers’ - did they really unlace? And my father knew for sure I was the only person in the world mad enough to see a concert twice. (Little did he know about the other 50 or so.... ) (Just made myself miss them.... ) Aww, it's the little things that remind us...

I don't believe that Adam was ever in the bottom 2. I remember following a site called Zaba search who did Idol predictions at the time. If I recall correctly, they were pretty accurate. Anyway, I remember them putting out a statement that according to their stats, they didn't believe Adam was in the bottom 2. I remember reading comments on there and 99% of them were flailing over Adam. It's like he was a rock star. I also do believe in "text gate" despite AI coming back and saying everything was fair. I don't think a state of less than 3 million in 2009 could generate 38 million votes unless there was power texting. I remember thinking it was very odd at the time; there seemed to be no forewarning. Have to say though that Feeling Good was my least favourite Adam performance so I put it down to enough others feeling the same. Don’t know - but perhaps it was tactical when results were becoming a little predictable - to bring some suspense and tension back into the results show. I think there were enough voting questions raised in the final to allow some thought about Adam’s ‘bottom 2’ night in retrospect. Feeling Good is my favorite Idol performance lol!

marionm Yep! That strut is everything. Then Simon tells Ryan he can no longer use the stairs. 💞💞💜💜 And on another note I see the Billboard list of top 10 LGBTQ albums of the year- Adam at the top! I know it's alphabetical by first name still nice to see him first! I'm sure someone will bring it over. I don't seem to do that right other than basic Instagram !

Chiming in to say how much I appreciate the positive, chatty, heartfelt posts from you, Deb5anne. I don't know you, but I hope to meet you one day, at an Adam concert! Just like I've met so many Adamtopia members over the past ten years.
I remember watching Adam's performance of 'Feeling Good' - I was swept away. So, when our Idol found himself near elimination, I was gobsmacked! The rest is history, of course.
I think back ten years. I met a new 'soulmate' at the July 27th concert in Costa Mesa. My entire family attended the Las Vegas concert at Mandalay Bay. My first meet & greet! My son, who arranged this gift for me, was part of my first one-on-one with Adam. Later, he gifted me a coffee mug with one of the photos on it. I will always remember my 4-year-old granddaughter looking at my mug, pointing to the photo, and saying "Grandma! There's you! There's Uncle Eli! There's Uncle Adam!"
One more thing . . . I have always cut my meat, and then transferred my fork from my left to my right hand. I had no idea there was a better way!!

Really interesting how tastes differ. Amongst all the knock out Idol performances "Feeling Good" was my least favorite, and thus I was not too surprised that others must have felt similarly, though I was majorly relieved that Adam stayed on. I just wasn't "feeling it" as much as the other performances, and I think I know now what it was - the white suit in combination with the pink stairs. The strut itself was sexy of course, and the vocals were immaculate, but the whole performance gave me Vegas revue vibes. NO I am not knocking Vegas, but I would have probably preferred something more "rock star", similarly to the purple coat he wore with Queen lol I actually really dislike white suites.
