1.11.15 The Ultimate Adam Lambert Playlist, more news

Me too. I really turned over a new leaf and scroll much more these days.

I agree 100%!

Many a day I'll leave when 'discussions' become territorial disputes.  Today what I have appreciated is the honesty
of feeling and thought about Adam, his talent, the songs he sings.  Sometimes I find there is only a one-way
street tolerated in the fandom in general and it tends toward adorational.  Reading people express not loving
everything Adam Lambert does or sings or creates to me is such a breath of fresh air.  It makes Adam real.
Not demeaning him or trying to make Adam into someone else.  This is one thread I think Adam might
appreciate reading.  I certainly have. 

Oh thank you for saying this. I think this is so important.

Adam is a pioneer in so many ways, vocally, personally, he is an artist who is trying to find his own path, and does so, so honestly and with so much artistic integrity. Like all pioneers, Adam will imo advance a bit slower at times, and he might zig-zag more, as he needs to do along the way to figure things out. Comparing the pioneer to the ordinary travelers on well-established paths, is absurd and pointless, but that comparison will continue to be made, until the unique and defining element is properly understood by those that do the critiquing, including at times, his own fans, even though they do it with best intentions, trying to figure  it out for him. He will just have to ignore it, and move on, just as he is doing.

Adam's special, rich sound is already quite apparent in pieces, but not all pieces have come together yet. Who knows in what form it will happen, pop song or otherwise. For example: I love when Adam sings his own background vocals, as he often does, wish sometimes he would widen that background vocal to be a full voice, kind of like a duet with himself, allowing him to represent the different sides of himself in different vocal tracks, blending them to be the whole song. It would be one way to create or allow for a simpler chorus and hook, that allows people to sing along, and yet present some more complex vocals or harmonics at the same time. And I think it would fit Adam's rich and fluid sound. Just an idea, that bounced around in my head a lot, not sure why. Adam's sound is always so rich, and I love that, I guess.

But Adam was also drawn in other directions during Trespassing, was much more dance and rhythm inspired than I thought he would be, and surely enough, he created music that was ahead of its time, rather than behind. He will need to work it out, over time, what represents himself the best. And the only thing I as a fan need to do, is be patient and give him the space. Adam's fan base is rock solid, it's growing, and I have yet to hear somebody say, they are done waiting. Whatever people may be doing meanwhile, whenever Adam is doing something important, they are all back, which means they are always paying attention.

It is all his unique path, and he is working with the best. And as Roger said. He has superb musicality. And coming from an organic and instinctual place. Kissed by a muse, is another way of saying it. It will come together, he will figure it out, and he will continue to surround himself with others who will assist him and help him work it out. Whatever 'it' may be.
