I missed all the “drama” back then and wasn’t even on social media or any fan sites during Adam’s Idol run, in fact I didn’t even think about his sexual orientation much. I just enjoyed watching him every week and voting for him occasionally. Once Idol had wrapped, I started googling Adam and down the rabbit hole I went for a bit haha

SophieB, his way of expressing himself is likely celebrated and encouraged in his circles (and probably by Adam himself), and I have a feeling that he is enjoying the freedom and affirmation he’s getting in WeHo and other queer friendly places. I can imagine that it was a bit different in Denmark. I just wish that he would read the room a bit more sometimes. That latest group picture made me cringe a little too, though it could be “worse” 😉

SophieB and phronni7, I wholeheartedly agree with both your comments on this page. I haven’t read through the whole thread yet and others may have expressed similar thoughts, however I haven’t even come close to the excitement level about the Xtina duet that Adam seems to feel. If the minute on stage with the diva was a lifetime goal achieved I am happy for him, however I can’t shake the feeling that too many straight “allies”, and most of them female “powerhouses”, use the adulation of the gay community to boost their own careers with very little effort in return to really promote someone who has more hurdles to climb to get there. That last minute schtick the other day was just not enough for me.

It seems like Adam SLAYED in all departments - looks, performance, personality No wonder we are on page 6 here on Atop! The aqua colored suit is a stunner!

Adam is looking mighty fine these days. I’m happy for him (and myself).
However, I just looked at the pics from the Orly event and I hope he does too. The platforms are getting really extreme and it looks to me like he is standing on massive cement blocks. It’s not a flattering look, plus isn’t it awkward to be towering over anybody next to him who is not super tall? I just hope he’ll wear more suitable footwear once he’ll be on the concert stage again, especially with Queen. 🤞

I am not a fan of the selfie culture, however I found it heartwarming to see the mom of Adam’s partner happy to be there.

Well, the ultimate (current) wgwg is englisch, Just to Point that Out and that "Genre" certainly has IT's legitimacy doesnt mean IT has to be everyones taste.I guess There' a myriad of reasons why they win so often. Very cool that Adam got to do two Performances on Idol! I'm looking Forward to that colab Song soon! Good point. "Storytellers" that can also sing seem to do well on Idol and in general. I have come to understand over the years that connecting with audiences goes beyond vocal capabilities, and it clearly rings true for a show like Idol lately. As for the overall music scene, Taylor S. is another prime example besides the "English wgwg". I am not a fan, but I can see why she is so successful. She is authentic in her artistry and she seems to be a very good song writer. That's one genre amongst many and I think we can agree that even the most popular artists can't be liked by everyone. Adam's "Believe" comes to mind right now. The viewing numbers just went up organically as people felt something. (ironically, the Muffin Man is still riding that wave. Quite the phenomenon haha)

The Idol performance was everything!!! In a way, it brought back the Adam that I fell in love with when it all started for him. I noticed the weight loss right away as his face looked slimmer, and I even thought that the eye make-up worked for that particular performance. I hope that he’ll take a few inches off his footwear for future performances especially with Queen, to reduce the risk of tripping. Plus I don’t think that the extreme platforms add anything visually. Oh Sizzling…so exactly what I was feeling. May sound silly but I was saying to myself ‘you’re back Adam!’. He has been strictly audio only for me for so long. I haven’t been able to enjoy watching him. Not just his looks but I felt the spark was missing, buried metaphorically under the layers he chose. But in those minutes on Idol you could see he’d got the essential Adam spark back again and it was stunning. Perfect vocals combined with great performance skills - and loved the look….head to…ankles SophieB, you said it perfectly and so much better than I did. I am still over the moon. For me, Adam delivered the goods on Monday, and then some!! He took one of my favorite songs on HD to another level by treating us to a stellar live vocal performance and a "vibe" and a sexy rock star look to match! ("head to...ankles" is good enough for me for now )
