Seeing that show live was one of my Adam highlights of 2012! We, in the audience, were sure that most of the show would never make TV! I forgot to ask if the US version had been the same as the Australian version or if there had censored it more. |

It was priceless. I tried to post the link for those who never saw it but failed. Perhaps a tech-savvy person could give it a try?

It was Adam's story about the topless dancers in Debbie Does Dallas! And a lot of what Rusell did was just cut out of both telecasts. They couldn't use it! |

ILHSFM.
He is willing to share so much of himself with us. He could just stick to singing songs. But he strives to deepen the connection, to exchange views and discuss the spaces between us. Even if it invites misinterpretation or frustration, he walks the talk. He keeps moving forward no matter what. I'm grateful to stan such a complex and caring man. And to learn so much from all of you here at Atop.
Did I mention ILHSFM?
This, this, and this again.Jeez.....I really do have many sisters by different misters here! For me personally..........I hope he never shuts up........on twitter or any other place. I look at ME in a whole new speak up and out confident way. If not for Adam.........I would not have this amazing community. |

Adam Lambert @adamlambert
I'm not quite sure of how any of what I'm tweeting would be disappointing to anyone.... Someone explain? We are having a twitter forum!
Rove McManus @rove

My son is an easy target for bullies, and he is bullied daily. He's 16, adopted, learning and language delayed. We talk a lot, and he has been so stressed for the past 3 years because of the bullying. But we devised a way for him to win. So he has formulated a technique which works quite well. If comments are slung, or he is pushed around, or harassed..he's says excuse me, would you repeat that...they do...he repeats it very loud so other students hear what they said, and then says oh thank you so much for your input, you made my day, smiles and walks away. Bullies are dumbfounded. Usually someone hears and smirks at the bullies..they skulk away. Actually in many cases kids have come to my son's aid, since.
My son is a charmer and really socializes with all students, complements them, asks how they are doing, so as a result he has developed allies and now how a great sense of self and well being. He has developed armor, with very few chinks. Trust me, it was not easy.
Adam is right, self worth is important, and standing up, developing a thick skin and developing a defense works. Having a supportive network is important, where ever it comes from.

The thing is, and I should zip it, but we are NOT teens right now. The violence has escalated exponentially. I so applaud that your son was able to overcome his adversity. I go to bed every night hoping my nephew will be alive tomorrow...despite MUCH intervention. For a teen, life now is all they have and hopefully tomorrow will be a better day. As a society, I totally believe we have condoned inexcusable behavior for so long that we don't even see it anymore..this is a general statement and in no way directed at you, Momtomany, or anyone else here. We watch violence 24/7 on forms of social media. I remember the first time I saw the photo of the man being shot in the head in Vietnam. I was repulsed and ill, literally. Now images of horror are everyday fodder and that is where the change must start, I believe. With adults saying NO, not watching the news every night, not feeding the machine. Without conscious adults, where do the children go? And I know you to be a very conscious adult..so please bear with the pain of this discussion for me. Thank you. Yes, this forum and the man we follow seems to ignite in us the questions and the questioning. I don't think we are here because we've been complacent and condoned. I know I haven't. But I live in a little world. I take care of myself and my family; and I worry over the world that doesn't. And, even if they do, the outcomes are not what the storyline wants us to believe. My son hasn't overcome his adversity. He lives with his difference every day. Success has not made him an equal to the bullies in this world. He has love and support. This is my point.
So many do not.
Point taken and agreed. My nephew has love and support as well. He has had two friends commit suicide. It has just been a long haul for him and for the family watching him struggle every day. Many kids as you say have no one to turn to. At least my nephew does, but his scars are already very deep. It's a sad topic.  |
