I have never been much of an idol watcher. Watched season 5 and then ignored it until S8. No idea why I started watching that season. I missed the audition rounds and first I saw of Adam was Satisfaction. Thought - hmmm he's interesting. Then. Then. Ring of Fire completely won me over. The absolute audacious balls of steel it took to do a performance like that on a show like Idol still makes me shake my head.
Loved the ride ever since.

It is hard to believe that it has been four years since I heard "Mama." What a diffierence those two notes have made in my life. I will be forever grateful to AI for casting Adam on that season. So many good looking, talented, trained, professional singers from musical theater try out each year, and almost none make it through the audition process. How was it that the producers recognized that Adam was so much more than a theater guy with a great voice and an edgy haircut? How was it that someone "got" Adam when directors, producers, and record executives didn't? When even many of the critics writing about Idol didn't at the beginning? We've discussed many times how Adam is a black swan, an outlier, an alien, who makes people vaguely uncomfortable with his fabulousness that they don't know how to process. Whatever posessed the producers of such a mainstream, middle of the road, "middle-America" reality TV program to choose the alien from the planet Fierce? However it happened, the universe, fate, faith, positive projection, or an undeveloped Glambert in the production staff, I truly believe the world is better for it. Idol served its function. It gave us Adam Fucking Lambert. Its purpose has been fulfilled. Now, it can continue to limp along as another reality TV popularity contest, or it can close up shop. Don't care any more. When you have given the world the best singer of a generation what's left to accomplish? Thank you, Idol, and good night. Wonderfully said! I think that's SO true! Thank you Q3 and Cassie for your Idol thoughts.  Alas, I didn't watch Adam on Idol (actually it took me even a few years past seson 8 AI to find out how fabulous singer and amazing person Adam is and become his fan). But since then I already watched all his Idol performances and most of other videos with Adam singing, talking, hosting, not to mention those two QueenBerts shows I attended last summer. And I have to say, I will forever grateful to Idol for recognizing Adam's talent and bringing him into our lives! |
