Maybe I'm curious  , but I have to ask: are the people in the photos, "Adam at the beach" Adam's friends, or random admirers? Does anyone know what beach is it? Why Adam is there? They are friends. It was a beach party that Alisan Porter had a week ago, last Sunday  And they are at a house in Malibu. One of the girls in the rocky beach photo (other than Alisan) is Ilsey, who was Alisan's guitarist in their group The Canyons (now defunct.) I looked to see if anyone had answered and no one had. My thinking and typing are obviously slower than yours. |

If you look, you can see sutan sitting on the rocks in the first picture. |

Juniemoon! Have a wonderful birthday -- I even found you the proper birthday card! Yee-haw! Lisa  Thanks, betty, butterfly, and revlisa and one and all for the good wishes and Adam blessings! In honour of your birthday, and may it be the happiest for you, dear, I'm going to repost the most beautiful essay anyone has ever written about Adam: "SEANACHIE" BY JUNIEMOON "The Irish have a word — Seanachie (shawn-a-key) that means storyteller. That means a person who entertains not only with words but by creating an experience, an entire alternate world that exists alongside of this one. Adam Lambert is a seanachie. We can run away from the stories he tells or the mirror he holds up in front of us ("I’ll be your mirror" — remember?). What do you see?
We can edit our narratives and make them tiny because of the passage of time, or the dreams that died in failure years ago, or even because inside we’re still just the same scared and lonely kid we always were, a kid who found escape in music even though even back then we weren’t the least bit cool, just fat and acne-scarred and in sad possession of offbeat tastes that we clung doggedly to for reasons unknown, so that no one in a position of authority would have given a damn about us or whether we ever got a happy ending.
OR, at long freaking last, we could turn to a fun, fascinating, loving, and inclusive pied piper who invited us to go on a magic carpet ride with him — yes! even us! - “no matter what other people think.” Someone with the power to bring back that long ago feeling that — because of his music, because of his unapologetic weirdness, because he’s “standing here with no apologies” — that even in this screwed up sad old world, we are never alone. That maybe tonight we’re taking over the town.
People like to talk a lot about Adam’s backup singers or lack there of. But the thing is, as a seanachie, Adam is the backup singer. He’s the backup singer for us. Because the only voice we can give to our narrative is ultimately our own. And because of this, we are free. He just puts the steel in our spines. Thanks, Adam.”
Thanks, Juniemoon! |

OT, but tonight is the final match of the Basketball World Cup in Madrid, the USA Vs Serbia. And although the USA has a very special place in my heart because it gave me Adam Lambert (and lots of other goodies), I'll be rooting for Serbia Напред наши!!! |

For Nikki, who totally ruined the peacefulness of my first morning coffee ritual by mentioning Justin Timberlake (but is still my favourite gal:))): Justin is one of the rare artists today who I think rightfully deserves all the success he has. I have huge respect for him, even though he doesn't have particularly impressive voice - which just shows that it is never only about the voice in this line of success Adam wants to achieve. On top of his many talents, he also strikes me as a nice human being. Adam and he are as different as they can be, but there is one thing I wish for Adam that Justin has: amazing band and phenomenal staging! They are so impressive that together with his confidence and charm, and great songs of course, you get a top notch performance even without great vocals. That's what it looks and sounds to me, at least; I hope Adam gets to have something like this one day, and just... struts and sings all over the place. No circus acts and aerial slings, please, it's just this (sorry, P!nk). And I know everyone thought QAL staging and lighting was great, and it was, but this is so much more to my taste (mind you, sans Timbaland and sexy ladies, just the band and the staging and light effects). I kept imagining Adam's voice gracing this stage and I couldn't stop myself from wishing it for him: Thanks for posting that, aleks. I was moved by the end, he seemed so taken by the crowd's reception, and I believed him when he said he was humbled by it. Also loved how he took the time to take in and appreciate and honor the moment. I do think that he is one who has successfully traveled the stardom road, even more impressive considering how young he was when fame came to him. Adam content? I just love that boy, could listen to him sing forever and ever, and think he is very very hot. |

Mys*&@^#r, savvy and glitter: thanks for the answer to my questions!  I don't know why I didn't recognize Alisan Porter, and I didn't see a man (sutan) sitting on a rock. ??? But I am glad that Adam is now able to spend his free time with friends!

And although the USA has a very special place in my heart because it gave me Adam Lambert (and lots of other goodies), I'll be rooting for Serbia Напред наши!!! OT If Serbia wins it will be a very big upset -- but is possible. Serbia has quite a good team -- and by far the best team the US has faced in this tournament. It is possible because it matters more for Serbia than the US. But I think the US players really want the bye into the Olympics -- and will win, even with the relatively weak team we sent to this competition. (The US team is composed of average NBA players vs. a star team, and 8 players are out with injuries or fear of injuries.) Even though basketball has become more and more international, the best US players can beat any country's team. The wildcard here is that the US national team is not the best US players. So while I can't root for Serbia, it might be a good thing for the US to lose this so that the US sends are really good team to the 2016 Olympics. |
