Since it is kind of slow here tonight, I am posting something I have been thinking about. I think part of Adam's new cleaner look may be strategy on his part. I think this may have been touched upon a few days ago, but only as it related to music. I believe he glammed down a little to draw in new fans (and that gorgeous grammy look will certainly do that), but I think he is also trying to show advertisers and hollywood that he can go against the stereotype that they have hung on him. As always, he is doing the unexpected and I think it just may win him that acting role he has been wanting. Just something else for us to ponder over in the long hours til we have new music. THIS !! Sad to say, some still have not let go of the AMAs ! :(

Above the Reply box in which you type your post, there is an icon second from the right on the bottom row that looks like a piece of paper with a yellow arrow at the side of it. When you click on it, you'll get [ quote] [ /quote] (without the spaces) in the Reply box. You can either click on the icon first and then paste the text you've copied from the other post between them (be sure your cursor is between them before you paste the text), or paste the copied material first and then highlight it and click on the icon. ETA: Oh, geez, I'm dumb for not pointing out that the easiest way is just to click the word QUOTE at the top righthand corner of the person's post! The way I described above is more for when you just want to quote a line or two from someone's longer post. Thanks Murly, now all I have to do is figure out how to get an avi : :

"I also like that Adam isn't clinging to the glam look. Don't get me wrong--I love me some glam. But I don't want to see him turn into Michael Jackson, who, once he glommed on to the Sequined Soldier look with the epaulets and the sashes, never let go of it. I used to have a beautiful poster of Michael in a yellow sweater and white pants, and I always thought a Great Gatsby look would be amazing on him. Instead he just stayed with those stupid faux-military costumes. I think Adam is already realizing that he doesn't want to be pigeonholed into a persona that will get tiresome and look increasingly ridiculous as he gets older."
Murly - I so agree with this !

Arcade Fire is one of my favs -- amazing live show. Very, very loud, almost bone vibrating experience. Kind of like a modern version of Pink Floyd. ETA: BMX bikes >>>> Bieber's Taiko Drummers. I love Arcade Fire! Me too !

Stating what we all know. Adam's voice is in a class of its own. No one else can compare. That's all we need to know!

MUSE -- album = "The Resistance" single = "Uprising" -- biggest song so far in the US, peaked at #37. I am a super massive MUSE fan. They deserve to be bigger in the US. Me too Q3. Saw their concert at the Rose Quarter in Portland, to a full house. The most amazing show I have ever seen. All of their albums are incredible. Absolution my fave. Anyone who gets a chance to see them - RUN.

Thank god he didn't loose to Buble or Mayer, that would have been tragic. MJ and Bruno are the only understandable winners other than Adam. Absolutely! And it's not the same as Idol - he will not miss a beat now, and will sweep the board for everything this year!!!!!
