4.19.13 More Chinese Music Chart Awards

Just catching up with yesterday's thread and I see that my help was requested in translating this:



Guys, I really don't think this is needed, it is cute at times what they do here, but there is not enough meat on this bone to spend the time on my part or yours. Here is the gist of the video. The two clearly think highly of Adam's music and performances and are mocking JB both for his lack of singing talent as well as for being a baby and mama-boy. The whole thing goes down with tons of crude language that it typical of German teenagers, but does not translate well into either English or print.

The only interesting thing perhaps is, how Adam is portrayed, because it shows how these two German kids see him. The Adam in the video is macho and strong and aggressive, he disses and laughs at JBs singing, something that of course we know the real Adam never does. In fact this 'Adam' finds JB so repulsive that he wants to punch his lights out and beat him to pulp and that is then talked out with 15 year old trash talking, etc.

But just like if I write a sentence: 'Two men are strangling each other' sounds aggressive until you see the picture of Adam and Sauli playing with the media and us, same here: They are just horse playing around, but writing it down would sound rather terrible.

I thought the Adam impersonator looks the part and even imitates Adam quite well, except for character representation, that is off, but in looks he gets him quite well. It's all in good fun.

If anyone is interested beyond that, let me know which section specifically you are interested to get an exact representation of.

Final thought from myself:

It is one of the amazing features of Adam that to these boys he comes across as macho and aggressive, when at the same time, others perceive him as totally female, a queen or belittle him by calling him a boy, i.e. see this Norm Kent guy. Normally that should not go together, but with Adam, it clearly does.
Tbh, I also see both sides in Adam, just they are not tied to all these negative connotations. I see masculine, sexy, assertive, self-confident, dominant Adam, at times even a mocking/teasing and certainly superior side in Adam and then I see the very vulnerable, artsy, elegant, emotive, perceptive, intuitive, creative, spiritual, zen-like Adam who either endures what he feels or at other times laughs and exuberantly enjoys what he feels, but rarely finds himself emotionally in the middle.
It is really quite paradox. How is somebody up and down emotionally and yet also calm and zen-like? How does that go together? But clearly with Adam it does.

Ok, I now have a quick question, based on what I see and read: Is Adam now representing both The Voice as well as Idol in China?

We need to ask maddie, but I think they don't have ratings wars there. There might even be just one main channel. So it probably doesn't matter if he promotes 2 singing shows, like it would here! IDK!
