I remember the sense of relief once the church ceremony ended at my wedding.
Now the fun begins.

Happy Birthday aspen! Tutka is still delayed, they have technical difficulties. I'm off to home now from work via some stops to stores. Have a nice Friday, everybody!

The commentator said that her gown reminded them of Grace Kelly's wedding dress. I can see the resemblance.   |

Katri just wrote in her blog about the wedding. I wonder if Adam has been watching with Katri and Sauli. I really liked the ceremony it was beautiful. Now waiting for the kiss.  |

Exactly!!! The reason IMO that they're so upset is that Adam has a million followers and everyone listens to what he has to say while not everyone pays so MUCH attention to what the other idols have to say. Adam interviews are all over the media. They know that he influences people's mind. Every one who thinks Adam cannot speak honestly fuck them. OK. I understand what you two are saying and I understand your point of view. Of course Adam has every right to express his opinion. I also know these kids will survive the critique and it will help them develop a thicker skin. I am not judging Adam for having an opinion. (Well, maybe I am judging a little. I think his opinion has a lot of power.) I was wondering if there was something I didn't know about past contestants being asked to give their opinion. Looks like they are urged to do so. So, my lion eating the vulnerable comment was less about Adam and more about the system near the end with all the past contestants adding their opinions to the lot and choosing their favorites. That is part of what makes Idol Idol. It is brilliant in a kind of brutal way. But those kids come out super strong. And, I will openly admit that I am projecting my feelings, remembering what it is like when someone you really look up to and admire says something critical. I remember how much that could crush. Because I adore Adam insanely and see him as THE BAR I assume that these kids must as well. Developing a thick skin is important in life. Try as I might my skin is not very thick. I know I would have been crushed by harsh words from Adam if I was in Durbin's position with Adam as my role model/singing hero. So, yes, this is me projecting. Please accept it as nothing more or less : ) I assure you there is no need to defend Adam against my words. I need to toughen up a little. So if anything I need to take some pointers. Must say I'm loving these great responses though! Well, except in no way has Durbin ever indicated that Adam was his role model/singing hero. His comments about Adam in the past from his youtube channel before he was ever on Idol, to his frustrated and slightly resentful namechecking of Adam during Hollywood week when he actually got some criticism to his twitter comments about him and Adam being nothing alike musically since he's legit metal not pop have made it clear that he is not. In fact I truly think he believes he is better than Adam, and of course he's welcome to that view, that's great that he's got that kind of self confidence. But I think there's a possibility you may be right about projecting your own feelings rather than accurately reading how James would feel. And while Adam's words might get a bit more coverage than some of the other former Idols, remember that the only people seeing this stuff are those that are bothering to go on the internet and look at stuff relating to Idol. This is all still very much in the Idol bubble, and only a fraction of Idol's actual audience will ever see those comments. Even the majority of Adam's twitter followers will probably have no idea, it's not like he tweeted the article. I think both Adam's fans and detractors attribute much more power to him than he actually has. At the end of the day, it's just one more opinion. And frankly, I think if that article had come out before James' last performance, there would have been much less flak about it. It was partly the unfortunate juxtaposition of Adam's opinion that was given without him seeing this performance right after James had a night where he did really well. I do wish Shirley would have made that clear in a blurb at the top of the article or something, but clearly from the headline choice etc. what Hollywood Reporter wanted most was the clicks that would result from a fanwar in the comments. Modern journalism at it's finest. *sigh* |

I really think Adam's take on Idol doesn't amount to much in the long run. If James doesn't win part of the reason ,IMO,will because of a vote against the judges declaring him the winner before the final vote. I have such respect for Adam because of his honesty and straight forwardness. The judges haven't been fair to Haley and Adam seemed to come to this damsel in distress,by pointing out how good a singer she is. I'm so glad Haley gave Adam kudos. So few singers do.
