While we're talking about ROF; if you listen to the three versions (Johnny Cash, Dilana and Adam), you see that, while Adam clearly versioned Dilana's version, Dilana's vocals sound closer to the original vocals by Johnny Cash. Adam incorporated a lot of eastern sounds into his vocals too, and that's not that easy to sing, IMO. A lot of people around the internet are quick to point out that his version of ROF was done by Dilana, and sometimes it's said in a way that downplay Adam's contribution to the song, and I find it unfair.
By the way, I happen to think that Johnny Cash would have loved Adam's ROF. lol

What do you mean by more notice? I don't think it ends on the 29th? Does it? I wasn't planning on donating until the end of the week. :-/ Sorry for the late reply..gone most of the day..no, I meant people have been asking for awhile if there might be an organized effort for contributing this year but Adam didn't announce until now. I expect some may have wanted a 'unified' donating approach but now have donated to other charities. Personally, it's all good, no matter who supports what charity for Adam's BD. I would expect WAFF being very appreciative of donations at any time. I know of no 'cut-off'...apologies for posting on the fly...(or the bee..?)  Was just thinking that if a million people gave just $1... that would be $1,000,000! The power of numbers...  |

I haven't been posting much lately, so, not sure if this was just me or a new norm since the upgrade....
When I was trying to quote a few lines from an article, I had to copy it to a notepad then copy on to my post here; if I had just copied directly from the article, it would've looked just like HTML codes. Has anyone else experienced something like this? Yes! And it happened earlier with this article that you posted. I asked Q3 about this and this is what she told me: "This is formatting from the original site. It will probably work only pasted on the BBCode tab."
Hope this helps.
Thanks, pi! I'll try next time to paste it in the BBCode, actually that would make better sense... btw, I like the old smilies a lot better but the new Atop is pretty nifty. |

Has anyone else experienced something like this? Strangely, we have all been experiencing different kinds of problems and just working our way through them. You have so much to look forward to ..... or ..... maybe nothing else will go wrong.  Which article were you referencing? In my post from page 13 , the China Daily article... |

Thank you maddie, I am not sure how I missed it. I use a dark background and the text is a little grey, that's my only excuse.  It is a nice write-up. |

. I think what makes it so sexy when Adam does it but not others is that he is not doing it because of choreography ala MJ nor is it a power display as in rap.. huh... I always thought MJ did it to see if was still there  OMG  |
