STEVEN @stevensswrites 41mYep, Adam came out with guns blazing and no apologies. I think it was just the style he liked at the time. He has since gotten, at least I thought he had gotten, less flamboyant (it flamboyance can indeed be defined by makeup and shiny clothes, in which case almost every 5 year old
child *changed to avoid gender specificity* loves to be flamboyant at times).
I admire his style arc, because he came to the public's attention as exactly who he was at the time, IMO. Side eye: Except I have always wondered why there was that charade of his parents giving the impression they were together, apparently at the behest of AI, according the Amy, the Dadbert's significant other:
articleAnyway, Adam's arc of less makeup, IMO, occurred pretty organically. Maybe it was because of pressure, or capitulation, I guess we will never know, but this fan doesn't think so. I think his style just evolved and changed. He says he is easily bored. My point is, I think he changed his style because he wanted to, not to make the road to success easier, not to quell the critics.
Although the boy is not stupid, and may have taken into consideration all those factors, I think he is remaining true to himself. I think the change is because he wants to, not because people say things. So he was true to himself at the beginning, and I think has stayed true to himself with recent changes.
He could have stayed in the closet, or presented himself less flamboyantly in the beginning, but he didn't. That for me indicates that he is making changes for himself, not to bow to any opinion. I think he is a brave boy. And I think it was a harder road for him because of that.
But, I have always thought his talent would out, It is just too big, too rare, too special (IMO) not to.
NOTE: Not comparing or even addressing Sam Smith here, don't know much about him.
ETA: Thanks,
shimoli710! I knew it would be something hot, followed, of course, by that laugh. He is in on the joke, for sure.
