I just wanted to do a quick de-lurk to wish everyone a Happy New Year! I don't post very much, but I am here every day enjoying all the amazing conversations between people that I've never met, but feel I know. I have to share this, because no one here would understand the way my fellow Adamtopians/Glamberts will. After staying up until stupid o'clock watching the stream from Adam's NYE show and listening and watching our fantastic guy who sounded and looked better than ever, I looked forward to the videos and photographs yesterday. I though he looked amazing, loved the sparkly jacket, the shirt, the hair, the face - in fact everything. And then, dragging myself away from his face, my eyes focussed on the brooch in his lapel and there I think was the gift I gave to him outside our local radio station in Glasgow in March 2010! A traditional Scottish thistle kilt pin with an amethyst stone set in the thistle head. I am truly shocked if it is the same one, the last time I saw it it was wrapped in tissue in a gift bag and Lane looked after it whilst my friend took a photograph of me and Adam - hence the avi. I don't feel this way very much, but I feel very special right now - Adam can probably have anything he wants at this moment in time and he chose a wee gift given by a fan for such a special occasion. I'll away back into lurkdom again but I'll still be here every day. Love to you all!! ... omg omg, I love this story!! I really need to see the brooch up close! Does anyone have a pic where we can see it clearly? |

Okay, I need some tech help. Today I went to YouTube and downloaded all of the concert songs from TALC. However, when I tried to play them, I get a picture, but no sound. This has never happened when I've used YouTube before. My brother checked to make sure all my settings were correct and said it might had just been a glitch where the audio failed to download, but I've tried again with the same results. I use t RealPlayer download button from YouTube. Has anyone else had this problem? |

Seems to me that idea of success and celebrity has become mixed up somewhere along the way. Success isn't a photo in people magazine every week or a number of twitter followers. I've always thought of Success is an accumulation. Of actions, events and outcomes that is noted and appreciated by others over time. Adam is building success on his own terms using his own talent and smarts. His name sells. He as a strong devoted (growing) fan base who will pretty much buy anything he does. He has respect and admiration of peers and luminaries in his chosen field. And he can still for most part live a relatively "normal" life. Not bad at all... #carryon I don't think we should discount the value of those photos in People and the number of twitter followers. Success and celebrity ARE mixed together, IMO. I'm not sure there is one without the other - not sizable success anyway. Adam's success is being built on all of those mentioned things - a devoted, growing fanbase, appearances on TV shows, concerts, appearing with Queen, etc. His name sells because of his growing involvement in all avenues of the business - PR, talent,magazine photos and articles,television, twitter, awards, humanity endeavors and supports, etc. The accumulation of all of these are important parts of his success. |

I use t RealPlayer download button from YouTube. Has anyone else had this problem? Did you download the videos in 1080p resolution? Try downloading the 720p versions. I've noticed that the last couple of months there have been problems with getting 1080p downloads with sound. Others on twitter have noticed this also. Doesn't seem to matter which downloader you use. If anyone has been able to download 1080p Youtubes with sound, please let us know which download you are using. |
