SKYLAR! I love your post. You so eloquently stated my feelings for Adam exactly.
I do believe he is embracing his role for this time and I am so happy that he is! I am honored to be a fan.
Thankyou for posting your thoughts.

The news about cory is upsetting and so sad. I thought he was a standout on Glee as Finn. Such a sweet character.
It is weird how I sometimes forget the character that is being played is not the actor playing them.

How very sad about Cory Monteith......RIP
Skylar, I love your heartfelt write-up about Adam. While reading it, I felt like you opened up the window to my heart and poured out, in the most articulate way , the very reasons why I love and admire Adam so much. Throughout the years in my 5th grade classroom, I hung a huge,framed photograph of Jackie Robinson #42 for the Brooklyn Dodgers, baseball team. {He was the first African American baseball player in Major League Baseball and endured so much hate and ridicule
by those who were prejudiced and intolerant and against the integration of the players.} Underneath the photo is the simple word,in big, bold print COURAGE, followed by the dictionary definition. I wanted my students to know that they all had it within themselves, to demonstrate this virtue in their own lives.
Well, I was a young girl who grew up in Brooklyn, NY and although Jackie was before my time,I was and still am a Dodger fan and I've always been drawn to people who display courage and integrity. So,4 years ago, I saw another young person who just seemed to have a special spark, something different, something that out shined even his beautiful voice for me and slowly, little by little I could easily see that Adam Lambert was truly a truly a man of courage. So, now that I am in San Diego, I can still go to see my Dodgers play-and look forward to the times that Adam performs here on the west coast. How blessed am I?
Thank you again, Skylar.Your writing reflects such insight regarding our Adam.

From day 1 Adam Lambert chose to place his vulnerable, beating heart out there for the world to kiss and stab. He rose out of American Idol with a revolutionary artistic statement. Beyond openly expressing his sexuality, he and Tommy kissed their way across mainstream America and around the world. Yes, that IS a statement for the books. Maybe more fun than refusing to move to the back of the bus (Rosa) but not so different. (Huge kudos to Tommy) The way was prepared for someone like Adam and there have been other similar boundary pushing artists (def. not American Idols) . But how many have the spine to step up to the plate? Adam is already firmly in the book of social boundary pushing artist changemakers. He has chosen to be not a small, but rather a MASSIVE GLBT community changemaker. He has used his star power to help his people. Nothing in my book is bigger than this. No artistry, no statement, no visual or musical piece is more beautiful than Adam using his fame this way. I crave his voice and his entertainment, but his heart is what wins me every time. I have no doubt that who he is, his integrity and heart, has significantly helped increase the mobilization of changemakers for gay rights, equality, and fair and kind treatment of our neighbors across the U.S. Included in Adam's followers are a group of huge-hearted fans who want to change the world for Adam and for all those facing similar ridiculous injustices, inequality, and oppression. These particular followers batter down walls, and infiltrate bastions of ignorance out of love for Adam. Adam is a hero already. He has used his sex appeal, his sexuality, his talents and his skills to help rally massive change. He scared and likely still scares conservative members of both the gay and the straight community. Bravo!! Adam is a true artist and his greatest artistic statement is not his pop music. It is his loyalty to being fully himself and his courage and determination to fight oppression with and for all who have suffered it. His voice is the servant of his heart. What is more beautiful? Really? Proud fan. Integrity is a rare thing. Wow. Nice. |
