bit.ly/hFYcCx For those paying attention- looks like Sauli and Katri's next video blog will be on Saturday. Oh I am paying attention. I like what I have seen of Sauli so far and I love the idea of him with Adam, they just seem to fit together but what do I know. I just love seeing more gorgeous pics of them together, lol. However the picture on this article with his cohost is adorable.

I have an unpopular opinion and hope you guys can help. I want you to point out flaws in my thought process because I don't want to feel this way. I am feeling unappreciated as A fan. One of the things that has endeared me to Adam is his realness. He is losing that IMO. It started with the creation of ALF. It offered us nothing new outside paid M&G, just quick money. The latest is Charity:Water. Adam's acknowledgement felt like A kid who's mother made him write A thank you note. Lane's follow up on ALF was "Mom" making A better thank you. He went on "The Talk" and seemed to not even know how much was raised or much about the charity. He was briefed (probably by "Mom") for the later interviews. It would have been nice if Adam had made A gesture to donate. Putting the last $10,000 in when the fans had it to $280,000 on his birthday. I was already feeling this when Adam felt the need to scold his fanbase once again. He then tried to make nice after the temper tantrum, felt like "Mom" again. Then yesterday offering A shirt about Charity:Water that is overpriced with only A small portion going to the charity. It felt like taking advantage of the generous nature of the fans. It would have been nice to say we designed this shirt as A memento, all proceeds go to Charity:Water. Look at the the comments - I am not alone on this one. Adam tweeting pictures with celebrities just made that feeling worse. I feel this is happening because the people in Adam's life that have kept him grounded are all benefiting from Adam's success. Can Monte, Allison, Lee and Scarlett hold the diva behavior in place when they are reaping the rewards of being in Adam's circle? Neil can always bring Adam back to reality, but is halfway around the world. This is my first time around as A fangirl and maybe this is natural. I still feel Adam has the most phenomenal voice I have heard in my lifetime, but unless something changes I won't feel the fan investment I once did. I will buy the album, but not actively request on radio,buy CD's to randomly leave where they can be found or barter with my teens to place Adam's music on facebook. I know I am not alone. I feel the core fanbase eroding. I want to have the passion back. I stepped away from fandom for A few days after the spanking this week. I had a travel day yesterday and spent the whole day driving with Adam's music. Still feeling hurt. The vast majority of us have done nothing but support Adam in every way possible. To lump all fans in with the few "Cray" is as bad as others lumping all "gays" together. Adam was no less talented in 2005 than in 2011. The difference is us! Wow, I don't even know what to say here. I very rarely get into these discussions and mostly just read posters opinions and decide whether I agree or not and move on. But somehow I just have to respond to this post. This is one of the most entitled comments I have ever read. I love Adam forever but all I ever expect from him is good music and awesome performances. And even then I am sure there will be some music and performances I am not going to like but I don't expect to love every thing he does. He does not owe me one thing after that. It seems that you take personally every thing he does or doesn't do, says or doesn't say and I just don't get that. Adam is a singer and entertainer, I don't know him and he doesn't know me and that is all there is to it. There is so much assumption of Adam's thought processes and his friends motivations going on here that I find it mind boggling. As far as Charity Water is concerned, I gave on Adam's behalf because it is a worthy cause not to get some kind of of acknowledgment from Adam. There are many points to address about this post but I better stop here because I am just getting in a bad mood.

Re Sleepwalker: I wonder what footage they'll use for the video...Hm...Very probably from the GNT DVD...So that'll hopefully get an extra boost in sales. I am very anxious about Sleepwalker being release all over the place. I don't quite understand why they are doing it if it wasn't a huge hit in Canada. Q3, any insights on this? Also, anyone know how SFW is doing in NZ? It started off well but haven't heard anything much since.

Oh God, I miss him already. RL is so uninteresting right now so I guess I better do something about that. Did I say I miss him?

Woah! Just watched that Spanish Fever! Is this from Spanish Idol? Maybe they should release Fever in Spain? I didn't know Adam was even known in Spain. WTF?

I'm afraid I will never appreciate rap. To me, it's not music--it's just an annoying form of talking. I agree with Eber, who tweeted awhile back that his goal was to live long enough to see the demise of rap. I agree, I just don't get rap or hip hop. It does not feel like music. Eminem might write great poetry but I can rarely understand what he is saying even when he is not getting bleeped. Plus it all sounds the same, same beat, same rhythm. I can't wait for it to go away too.
