Just have to add to the comments about Eli's response.
At this point, IMO, it is a moot point as to whether Adam has an incredible voice. Also indisputable, IMO, that he is a exceptionally handsome sexy beast. Those things have a genetic component that can't be denied. Yes, Adam has worked and studied and practiced to develop them, no doubt about his work ethic.
But the quote above? Now that is pure Adam. Maybe an underpinning of what his parents gave or demonstrated for him. But this boy has come through obscurity, rejection, coming to terms with society and homosexuality on a very personal level, notoriety, and now pure unadulterated fame and adoration from a large fan base, and being chosen by Rock Legends to be their front man, AND slaying, absolutely killing, an arena tour with them AND being viewed as a sex object by both men and women.
All things that have caused people to careen of course in spectacular and self destructive ways, not to mention causing awful entitled vibes and being surrounded and sheltered by slavering hordes of hangers on.
But our Adam? Keeps the same loyal group of friends. Maintains seemingly normal relationships with his family. Remains the sunny boy his mom loved. Consistently (and we see almost all of what is available, I think) is kind and polite and self effacing and patient and humble and beloved to those who encounter him. Including the parasitic papparazzi.
Honestly, for a nano second I wondered at Eli not mentioning Adam's voice, since he spoke of working with him in the studio.
Now I think there could be no greater compliment or recognition in that crazy world of entertainment and stardom and artificiality than for him to laud Adam's character.
I am SO proud to be a fan of this boy. He doesn't just touch my soul with his voice, my sexuality with his moves, he amazes me over and over again with (IMO) who he is, and remains, as a person.
