Oh, man! That cut off precisely where I would have loved for him to continue. He says that to be really helpful in your feedback to a singer you have to understand technically what they are doing. That's the meat of what Adam could contribute better than most any singer in pop music today. His understanding of the techniques of singing. I would kill to have heard him elaborate on that. Rats! I know we, as fans, are kind of biased when it comes to Adam... But I honestly think that he would have been the greatest judge ever. I really think that's an objective observation. He was a great mentor, and he would have been a great judge. Idol fucked up by not hiring him.

It never ceases to amaze me how articulate Adam is in interviews or live chats. Many things he says are so profound and quotable, like what he said in the NZ radio interview yesterday when answering the question on what advice would he give on breaking into the music business. He might not have finished college like the rest of his family, or be the best speller, but I really believe he is extremely intelligent. Brilliant even. I really believe it, too. Actually, I know he is. And it's got nothing to do with having or not having a college degree. You have no idea how many educated, but unwise people I've met, PhDs, Mensa members, who can come across as very shallow, who are unable to handle life's challenges; choleric characters, obsessed with not so relevant facts; who can tell you, for example, when the certain book was published, the title, the author, every fact, and every review, but the essence, the point of the book eludes them... And vice versa - I've met illiterate peasants ( the school I work in is in a rural area) who have more wisdom of life in their pinky nail than all those doctors; who communicate with nature, elements, animals, and they draw their conclusions spontaneously, unpretentiously, silently, but you can tell from their demenour, their relation towards others, or life in general, and their behaviour how enlightened they are... I value intuition over information, contents over package, wisdom over education, quality over quantity;and I feel Adam does as well. In the beginning I thought that there must be many Adams in this world and that I just haven't had the chance to meet them, but I can see that he is a rarity even in the developed countries... in his own country as well... A free spirit, a believer in love, in art... who seeks his happiness in communicating with other people; a sweet character, but not naive or gullible; a great and quick learner, but who never lets his knowledge taint his sweetness with presumptuousness; an iron hand in a silk glove... His socio-emotional intelligence is extremely high, you can tell it from his interviews, from the ways he handles certain situations... He is so positive, agreeable, pleasant... I don't like dark, moody people, who are always bitter and cynical, despicable towards others; Adam's disposition which he works seriously on, his introspectiveness, self-awareness, are so appealing to me. He chooses to be nice and not play some cool dude and he keeps saying he is not cool, but he so is in my book, if not for anything else then for not trying to play one... He is a thinker, focused on matters which he finds relevant and you can tell his priorities from that, his likes and dislikes, dos and donts... And all that combined tells about his moral code and the first and foremost reason why I admire him that much is exactly that - his moral code. In a recent interview he talked about silencing the outside noise; I think he meant the stuff like radio play, adds, dates, data, numbers, info, etc... He has to tune them out in order to create music, and it's not easy and it's a process for him, to focus himself; and I love him for saying that and for doing that... Not many people do that. I can tell how intelligent he is from the sheer way he is able to focus: on music when he works, on an interviewer during the interview, on his audience when he sings, I presume on his lover when he makes love... He wants to do everything he does the best possible way he can... to feel and experience everything to the fullest degree. I've never known anyone like him and my husband always tells me that I'm seeking the impossible, a non-existant man who lives only in my mind and English literature, lol. But that's not true - Adam comes as close as no one else to my definition of a perfect man, in spite of all his imperfections. And he is very much alive and kicking. Adam is the evidence that I am not crazy. I have to go now. Kudos to all who managed to read my bs, can't you tell that I could go on and on and on... lol . Broken record.

Adam has a lot of time between The Voice of China and the concert in Australia. Bet he goes to New Zealand!! ETA: Barry Squire find musicians for many artists including Adam. Looks like a new drummer could be needed. But he works for a lot of people: www.barrysquire.com/

Darik Kristofer @darikkristoferI asked @adamlambert what kind of a judge he would be IF he did get selected to be a judge on #idol. His answer in 1 minute on @947freshfm Darik Kristofer @darikkristofer@adamlambert chat edited for time. Going to see if we can get permission to post all of it. Lots of legal stuff with artists sometimes.
@darikkristofer Neurotic|Cynical|Quirky|Occasionally interesting| 94.7 Fresh FM, Washington, D.C. | Now 100.5, Sacramento, CA | I draw things on wheels. Sorry, Darik..not one of your more 'occasionally interesting' moments. Yes, I'm sure Adam will tell you all about Idol.

I know he plays keys for other artists as well, but he's Adam's musical director...I'm just so fond of Isaac, ya know?
