AMA is not a mistake by any measures! It's what got him first noticed internationally, especially in Europe and other western markets without it, he would have been just another preconceived boring whitebread American talent show runner-up! It's what ultimately led him to his int'l fame and his int'l career!! But If you wanted a David Cook, then yes! it was a huge mistake but we all know what happened to Cook...(no diss to David Cook here, he's doing his own thing and I think he's a rather good singer.)
AND, A POST WORTH REPEATING: [img src="![]() i770.photobucket.com/albums/xx348/Quu3/Adam%20Smilys/Other%20Smileys/clap.gif"] [/IMG] [img src=" ![]() i770.photobucket.com/albums/xx348/Quu3/Adam%20Smilys/Other%20Smileys/clap.gif"][/IMG] Wow, what a first post! I see your point, and don't know that I disagree with it. Certainly the majority of the American public who watch Idol are most comfortable with the cute guy next door who strums a guitar and sings love songs to his girlfriend. Extra points are awarded if he also is involved in his church music ministry and/or has a sob story. After all, that's the guy they voted for for the past five years straight. It is entirely possible that Adam would have become an even bigger star with number one singles on radio if he had taken that vanilla route.
Only one problem with that: it isn't who Adam is. As he said in an interview quoted recently, compared to his life prior to Idol, the things he did since Idol that were deemed "controversial" were nothin'. Warm up acts. He hasn't been that "apple-pie Adam" with red hair and a buzz cut since he was in high school. He's been a neo-hippie, a flower child, a sleazy Studio 54 club kid, a counter-culture standout in platform glitter boots, green body paint, and crazy make-up. Playing it straight and narrow during "The Ten Commandments" drove him crazy.
Adam is a wild child. Probably wilder than some of us even imagine. He played nice and conventional in musical theater for many years until that wild child, that creative alien just had to break free and express himself. It is not surprising that he has not been embraced by the masses. SHOULD he have been "safer" and more conventional coming off Idol? In terms of record sales and acceptability on radio etc, perhaps. In terms of being his outrageous self, not so much. I think he tried his best at the beginning of the TP era. He released two "safe", acceptable singles. He ditched most of the make-up and toned down the fashion claiming he was into a more organic look and feel. He played the game. Until he couldn't any more. Gradually, we saw the "crazy" OTT Adam re-emerge until we have him in wonderful make-up, edgy fashion, yellow and black TP costumes, fringe for days, and male dancers in Big Bird Yellow Afro wigs.
That's who we stan. Who we love. Aren't we lucky to be able to appreciate, celebrate, smile, laugh and drool over such an exceptional and unique artist? [/size][/font][/quote] :Clap: No way in hell did the AMAs damage Adam's career. The Idol viewers move on now. It's a new phenomenon that probably started with Cook's season, season 7. The AMAs were EVERYTHING for establishing his international fanbase. |

kamar, a gunman entered an elementary school in Connecticut and killed many children and adults as well. The story is just breaking now so the details are unclear. The gunman is dead.

The male crotch smooch did not disturb me and the finger was not shown on live TV, Adam got lucky there, that the camera was showing a different angle.
It all worked out in the end for him, America has moved on, and his career is on an upswing and new trust is put in him as a host and performer, and it is happening even this weekend.
He is and will be a successful artist, there is no question in my mind. His path may be a little more crooked since those days, but I am glad he
"dares to dance in the path of greatness"
