Hello all you wonderful Adam fans ( waves!!)
So very, very happy for him.......I have felt for some time that it would be best if some dynamic changed before A3, so as to ensure a different result - if all else stayed the same, what would be the point of another album that radio would not play? In my opinion this is the start of that shift -and I believe more is coming...then unleash A3 !!!
And btw, of course I would love radio success again, and I believe it will come,,,,,, but I have to say it is much more fun following all his varied and amazing accomplishments/antics ( Queen concerts,! Broadway Bares! Gay Activist Awards! lLes Miz critiques! International tours! boy friends! Divas! facial hair decisions!, fashion choices/new boots!! glee!!!!!!! ).......... than waking up every morning to good or bad spin counts and the outside chance of an AMA slot.
Anyway ILHSFM
And today is my anniversary of seeing him in London!

4Ms - The archives you have built are amazing, and a treasure. I hope they will be available forever (at least my lifetime) because I may be unable to go through them all now, but someday... ![]() I picked a random recap of London and struck gold. And though Glee is the subject today, the post sort of tells what all these Gleeks are in for... and seems appropriate to share here at this time. archiveofourown.org/works/460723BTW - I love this place! ![]()

Not sure if this has already been posted but in my search for "Adam Lambert Glee", this old article from 2009 came up. It is interesting to read what cast members thought of Adam way back then. www.today.com/id/30709902/ns/today-today_entertainment/t/glee-cast-sings-idol-lamberts-praises/The Fox network show makes its on-air debut 9 p.m. EDT May 19, following this season’s penultimate “American Idol,” and this “Glee” club definitely has a favorite among remaining contestants Adam Lambert, Kris Allen and Danny Gokey.“You know what? I love Adam,” said Michele. “I’ve known Adam for a while. I’ve known of Adam through the theater world. So, I’m a really big fan. I think Danny’s amazing. So, I’d say it’s going to be tight between the two of them.” “Adam,” said Colfer.
“Love Adam,” injected McHale, “because he’s ridiculous. Danny is an amazing singer. I think Chris is a great musician. But Adam is just — he’s loud, he’s everything. Just to go see his concert would be crazy. He’s an amazing, amazing singer.”
“Adam is like the new Freddie Mercury meets — I don’t know: genius,” said Ushkowitz. |

I'm verklempt - and I'm not even sure what the word means.
Just received a PM from adamrocks - - and saw that seoulmate noticed I haven't posted about this amazing news yet. Makes me feel wonderful! Really! I have this 'other' life - like all of us - and, frankly, it hasn't been a bowl of cherries lately. I've had sad. Not much else. Leave it to Adam to lead me back to joy!
I felt useless adding my particular twist of angst about an '80s cover album. Being that I'm approaching fossil status, I will admit now I thought it might be a good idea. Adam sings EVERY song better than the original; and as the years pile on, nostalgia becomes pretty enticing.
Thank goodness I didn't post.
GLEE is the perfect fit for Adam! He knows this! Yeah, he's a theatre kid - - - but he's born and bred and begat from the high school music department. So was I. He will bring true experience - the 'I have lived this' knowledge to GLEE.
The music room - the choir room - was my home in high school. My best friends were fellow altos, or tenors, or like-minded sopranos; trying to discover the music that hid within us. We needed to find our voices. We listened to ourselves too much - in doing so, we swallowed the freedom of a voice that had wings. My first teacher, Mr. Hansen, began the dialogue. "Music is an art; the medium of which is sound" - he told us - first day of 'choir'. Wanting to sing, needing to be excellent, most of us listened to ourselves with our ears; not our hearts. I know that sounds simplistic and silly. But it is true. Cassie, I am sure, will agree. You cannot find your voice if you listen with your ears. You find your voice when you allow your sound to be free.
I'm digressing; and I've barely come back from far away.
Basically, I think Adam will bring the heart of the child in the choir room to GLEE. I've never seen the show; haven't watched TV in a long time. That will change come Sept. 19. Adam knows the music room. He knows rehearsal; singing with your best friends; making the sound happen; shouldering the burden when it doesn't. He knows the pain of auditioning for the lead - and your competition is your best friend. How to tell someone who is trying, very hard, to excel; and their voice or interpretation doesn't match the desire . . . they are someone you love, too. He's learned how to love the friend, still, who gets the part; how to tell yourself you will survive.
Adam also knows theatre performance. It's a bigger stage, but feelings remain the same. You compete with roommates! You begin to understand where you shine. You begin to understand favors and favorites.
Honesty may become a theme. Honesty is always a goal - in theatre and in life.
I'm reminded of what Adam's Unca Dave told me - 2 1/2 years ago. "I was downstairs, and I heard something. I asked Leila 'What is that?' 'It's Adam'. I went up the stairs and opened the door a crack, and listened to the most beautiful sound I've ever heard. Adam singing."
This GLEE scenario can be HS or Broadway . . .
The players hear something. They are already there - in the rehearsal studio; or off stage; wherever - trying to find the 'office' of the new musical director, or music teacher. They follow the sound. They open the door a crack, see a silohuette, and listen to the most beautiful voice they've ever heard.
Adam is far too humble to cast this scenario. But I'm not!! It's my truth; not just Unca Dave's.
I want to find the adjectives, the flowery, symbolic, effervescent words that will plant my being squarely among you. In a meaningful, straightforward way.
I can't do it. I can only live it. I'm learning more about all this remarkable baggage of living that we carry. I've watched my mother's ashes dance away in the current of Hawaii; and watched my uncle's adorned casket descend below. Are they free at last?
Adam's voice unchains me. No matter what is happening; and, believe me, it has happened - Adam's voice brings me optimism, abandonment, an orgasmic understanding of my physical self - which leads to freedom, acceptance and universal love. "I am dancing!" I say! Joyful tears rain down. Sometimes it's hard to see through the window of this crazy train. I'm blinded by the light; and then, revealed by the light that shows I'm just me. Thankfully, that's enough.
