But neither Adam nor Sauli are truly family or even friends to
any of us, since we do not know them personally. We are fans who support Adam's career, but we are not family.
And not everyone is heavily invested in Adam's love life. I wish Adam all the happiness in the world, but I'm not really interested in who he dates. That is his private life (which should remain as private as he chooses it to be, IMO). My main interest is in his professional life -- his music, and his other accomplishments.
And I'm only interested in Adam's friends to the degree that what they do is of interest to me (for example, Adam's friend Ty Taylor, who is in a great band called Vintage Trouble).
Sauli seems like a nice person but until he actually does something of interest, I can't consider myself to be a fan.
Different strokes for different folks. YMMV.
Atop just ate another post...must I copy everything?
I feel I need to respond to your post,
Iridium..I don't think I would put a carte blanche on the fact that none of us
who enter the doors of Atop might not be Adam's family or friends. You never know who lurks here. That said, there
has been a type of family world-wide that has bonded around Adam. Even tho Adam isn't my biological brother, I
could say..he's my brother. I would hope we could look outside the box and offer everyone here their interpretation
of what type of relationship they have 'established' with Adam Lambert. He himself carried on the term Glamily.
Many people ARE invested in Adam's love life. I've never seen such a meltdown when Adam and Sauli split.
Does that mean that you have to be interested? Absolutely not. Watch the fandom go nuts when Adam
goes public with his next relationship..if he chooses to.
Your comment on Sauli, tho, is what got to me. To you he has done nothing of interest. Accepted. But your
wording to me was a tad below the belt. I happen to like Sauli..I don't stan him, but I admire him. He came to
this country with rudimentary English, learned his way around LA when Adam was off touring, made friends, kept
his Finnish job commitments and now will launch a TV program. Even if he hadn't done these things, he made
me smile and laugh. That's good enough for me. I never considered him Adam's appendage.
Different strokes for different folks..totally agreed. I could not remain in silence, however.
) or heartwarming to read/learn. So bring it on, bbs , "no hiding" as one of my kids would say.
