You know, everyone here is a little crazy. EVERYONE. Try to tell me you are not, ye who have a gazillion more photos of Adam saved than you do your own family, or ye who have clicked to enlarge in order to study seams and pours and roots and fabrics. Ye who have lost sleep to watch blurry streams instead of waiting for the clearer youtubes hours later. Who here doesn't know far more than resonable about Adam's personal life, perhaps following his family, chronicaling his childhood photos, reading his boyfriend's blog hoping to see another photo with a glimps of Adam's china or dining chair, and hoping above all to catch them in a kiss? Maybe we each have our own way of being crazy but if you are reading these pages everyday you probably have A LOT invested in this man. What I don't understand is how centering a good part of your life around him is considered OK but concern about him, and what is truly important to him, is not. Yesterday people expressing simple, respectful concern for his heart rather than his wardrobe were told not to. Today people who expressed concern are being told not to go down with the ship. Really? Because I was worried about him being hurt I am too invested? But it's not too invested to be looking up his possible flight times? Admission: I care about Adam Lambert as more than an artist. His music takes me places, but I've become equally enthralled with him as a person. I don't care much about his fashion, but I do care about his heart. Doesn't mean I am crying in my pillow for him, doesn't mean I can be lumped with Neil's tweeter and doesn't mean I am angsting and scaring away members or giving PH fodder. Just means i'd like to be able to say I am worried about him without being presumed over the top or to be given advice on taking a step back from you (not so invested?) people. Thank you! Thanks from me too. ITA |

To clear myself a little - I'm not against being concerned about Adam, this is a natural feeling and I feel this way to, I want him to be happy. But I'm strongly against speculation and rumours witout any foundation - this kind of thing can hurt Adam IMHO, especially if fandom is speculating about his love life or his family. Maybe I'm just old-fashioned or something. I don't find it old-fashioned at all. Speculation and rumours without any foundation have the potential to be so damaging. I couldn't, and don't understand why fans went so public with their sadness and angst and opened Adam and Sauli up to such widespread negative speculation about their very personal matters. As someone said upthread, thankfully PH didn't get wind of this nonsense and run with it. And thankfully, too, that Adam took the mature approach, held back any comment, and posted his message on Valentine's Day, as he normally would. I cannot understand how any fans could be more engrossed and concerned with Adam's relationship than their own family's issues. Sorry, just doesn't compute for me. Guess I am the old-fashioned one. |

well it may not be the best fashion... But have always loved this pic.  I'm with Grandduchess for this type of fashion as my favourite Adam's outfits. This pic can be a symbol for all the others where Adam wore soft material pants, well fitted, and shirts, with emphasis on soft again. I loved his KFest outfit, and more recently, the Vineyard one. ( Seoulmate posted that one) . It has to be soft, not too tight, and of neutral colours. Classy, but not too formal. Accentuated by a fierce jacket. Perfection. Like this:  PS/ Thanks to all Adamtopians for their kind words  |

When he woke me up this morning with this tweet, my not-working-on-all-cylinders brain thought that 'homies' meant homosexuals. I was  for a while, why can't he wish a happy Valentine to me, a straight person...  I kept pondering about that , on and off, for the unbelievable next 4 hours ( I know!) until , in the middle of work, I realized it might mean something slightly different, lol. I googled it eventually:) ETA// The morals of the story would be that my brain never works on all cylinders, duh:) ETA2// I can't find that poem Juniemoon wrote! I wanted to quote it, it's brilliant:)

I am proud to be an overinvested fan, warts and all. Kay and Aleks, kudos.

Just to be fair, Q3 did not say you couldn't discuss this issue. She did not want it on the News thread because it wasn't news, it was unsubstantiated gossip. That is why she directed the discussion to the dark thread.

ETA2// I can't find that poem Juniemoon wrote! I wanted to quote it, it's brilliant:) You are so nice. It is on page 7. ETA: I tried to slip in the same message that you and kay did, but by trying to be funny and silly.  |

I cannot understand how any fans could be more engrossed and concerned with Adam's relationship than their own family's issues. Sorry, just doesn't compute for me. Guess I am the old-fashioned one. Concern or angst about real problems is understandable. But concern about perceived problems just feeds the rumor mill. The concern I feel for Adam is similar to that I have for my young adult children(although, certainly not as intense!) I used to really focus on their relationships and often became attached to the 'significant other' - never wanted to see anyone hurt (including myself). But romantic relationships either become long lasting or, in most cases, they end. I think that's more common now with young people than it was 30-40 years ago. As Lynn said in an earlier post- you learn from the experience and move on. At this point my sons are better at that than I am.( I'm still hoping for daughter-in-laws and grandchildren-Ha!) But, I am working on it. Glad Adamtopia was here as a sounding board for those who were experiencing concern. Love this site and the caring people that make it so enjoyable to visit here. |
