Sorry, this is a very long post (don't believe I've ever posted anything this long before ;D ). Scroll away if you're not interested.
Thanks to my gurl, bluenile, who forwarded this wonderful piece to me! It was posted on weibo blog (like our TwitLonger) by one of the production directors, Wangtong, of 80s Talk Show. It tells the story how Adam came to be the guest on the show and some of the behind-the-scenes touching moments. It’s quite long and the first 4 paragraphs has no mention of Adam, but a prelude.
The blog is entitled “Time For Miracles”. Before I get to the “miracles”, the back story:
Wangtong has been a fervent fan of Adam since AI8, and so is her colleague, Xiaomie, another director of the show. The news of Adam performing on the Voice China got confirmed on Sept. 23, the next day, out of the blue, Xiaomie asked, “what if we get Adam on the show??” the taping was 25th to 28th, Adam was scheduled to arrive on the 28th, time wise doable but, it normally takes a few months to schedule and confirm an int’l guest, and they only had a few days, a miracle was needed! Wangtong and her team’s motto is “nothing is impossible if you try!” So, they started to put together all the necessary documents to send to Adam’s management and use all the network connections. The girl helped with English translation was in the middle of her wedding planning, but she worked till mid-night for a few nights to get everything done in time; Xiaomie, was constantly on the phone every day, even asked some leaders of Chinese Fan Club for help. Finally, it was confirmed but it’s already the 27th! and there’s no way they could tape the next day it had to be the 29th, but the studio space was booked out to another show most of the time on the 29th! Phoned the studio, OMG! it’s available!! immediately extended the booking till the 29th.
Now, here are the “miracles”!
Miracle No.1: got Adam confirmed for the show! [img src="![]() i770.photobucket.com/albums/xx348/Quu3/Adam%20Smilys/Other%20Smileys/clap.gif"] [/IMG] Miracle No.2: only took a day and half to plan out the whole production (by the time it’s all done at mid-night, Wangtong had finished a full glass of whisky and almost a whole bottle of red wine! ;D) Miracle No.3: took another colleague all night to “glamfied” the Chinese traditional jacket which was the gift to Adam, and the colleague got a stamp of approval on weibo from his idol --- a very well-known and respected fashion critic! 8-) Miracle No.4: a few new employees got up & close working side by side with Adam --- what an unforgettable experience for them! (one of the girls took home a towel used by Adam! :D) Miracle No.5: all the lucky Chinese Glamberts to finally get to meet him in person!  Now, some behind-the-scenes memories: --- walking into his dressing room, Adam saw the fruit tray and went, “yay!”, immediately put one in his mouth, then, ran to see the stage (he was so giddy and pleased with the stage). --- sound check took a long time...he wanted it to be perfect! --- told the band members to take off their fancy jackets, said their T-shirts looked more rock & roll! (says the Man of Jackets --- okay, this is my own commentary  ) --- sang Tsp twice, getting off the stage sweating like a pig, took off his jacket and got a bottle of water from the vending machine. (unlike most of big stars, he didn’t ask for specific brand of water or drinks) --- even though he was supposed to be the star of the show, Adam was very considerate to everyone, from the host to that 80-year-old lady. --- the host chatted with him a little bit, couldn’t help himself yelling out loud: “you are so nice! I like you!” --- after the taping, Adam shook everyone’s hand then happily got in the car dressed in now his favorite jacket. --- Wangtong and Xiamie thanked the fans on their way out, then they hugged each other and cried! (happiest tears!  ) The original piece is very moving and touching and I can only hope my summary would do a shred of justice.

I think mys*&@^#r's wondering if Nile and Adam is doing another work together again beside Shady. I wish Nile could hook Adam up with Bowie and all three of them work on a song together. I know Bowie's been sick and hasn't performed in a very long time...but...I dream. Adam is influenced by David Bowie and is awesome to watch this. |

Thank you very much for posting this link butterfly (surprisingly it worked for me here in the CR  . Adam's performance on EMA is very special to me - it was the very first time I've ever seen him (and was totally thrilled and amazed hearing his outstanding voice and became his fan immediately). And my big thanks to maddie509 for posting the translation of the blog. It was great to read about Adam's appearance on the show and those behind-the-scenes moments. I really appreciate it. |

Adam's hair going from silver to gold. His hair color in this pic is quite amazing!!! It's kind of between silver and gold. The whole picture has a yellow overcast, probably taken under incandescent lighting ... it's possible the hair is still quite silver but is affected by the lighting. It is very difficult to judge true color in random photographs. |
