So happy to see the locations back, thank you. I must post more as I want a second star !! Can't compete with Burrito though!! I really don't get all the hoopla about the stars .... just post your opinions and whats on your mind! I considered myself a lurker ... well, I posted more than I thought I would, And as much as burrito thinks she has to work to be noticed, she stuck in my mind "from day one"! hmmmm .... what was I talking about again? ... oh right ... QUALITY over QUANTITY .... might seem like a diss to some, so I'd rather adapt it: quality / quantity = there is no competition when the deciding factor is LOVE AFLAnd I loooooooove all posters (little white lie here). I'm only quality  |

I have mixed feelings about it but I hope Adam stays out of Russian politics. And when he performs, he brings people together and seems to open some minds. I saw that even when I went to see the Idols Live in the deep South. I hope Adam stays out of it too. It could get ugly. But I don't want him to cancel. His fans over there would be crushed.

It's an interesting discussion, whether Adam should perform in Russia, or in whatever country that discriminates against and outlaws gays, or shouldn't.
I personally feel that the impact of him performing in a certain country is bigger than if he boycotted that country. And he makes a statement by just being there and performing, which is something that wouldn't work for others. If Madonna, for instance, wanted to make her stance known, as a straight woman she'd either have to say it, or to cancel her show in protest. (BTW, a cancellation would make an impact in Madonna's case, but had it been a less known artist, no one would care).
I talked about it a couple of weeks ago with a gay friend of mine, and his opinion was the opposite of mine - he thought Adam shouldn boycott countries that outlaw gays, so...

Actually, Madonna took a stand last time she was over there. There was a lawsuit against her and everything. |

I would love him to sing Outlaws of love there but it is very likely that that would be the last song he sang in Russia.  Oh, I do think he'll sing Outlaws of Love.  Hopefully the "Militsiya" don't even understand what the song is about. :D |

Adam said we should focus more on how similar we are than how different we are. I think if Adam choses to cancel the concerts, he seems to focus on the discrimination. It will be more dangerous for him to have concerts there in Russia, but this is not his first time doing so. |
