My Original High for today is hiking Paradise at Mt. Rainier National Park - will be taking Adam along for listening enjoyment !   Ooh, lovely!... Looks similar to my hiking paradise, but here is a bit more arid, although we do have the snow capped Alps in the background... |

CASSIE, don't know if you got this vocab word from this NZ interview (if you don't already have it). I'm catching up on weeks worth of Atop. mythosat 4:50 Thanks! The DJ also says something about hedonistic, which Adam then uses very appropriately, so we know it is part of his vocabulary. Adam never dumbs himself down. He has a good vocabulary and he uses it. It's one of my favorite things about him. I like a guy who isn't afraid to be smart. I also kind of admired him to shooting down doing the "gay-dar" game. It is a tired game and doesn't really prove anything. I know Adam has done it before on some shows. Like what he said about "straight-dar." I know he ruined their "game" plan but he also made a good point. They seemed ok with it. This was a good interview. Not a lot about the new music, but I did like how the guy made a point of noticing how much Adam's fans connect with him has a person and not just as a singer. He has really touched the hearts and souls of millions world-wide. I love watching how Adam has evolved as a guest on TV and radio. He really has much more control over how the interviews go. He has a lot more to say and more experiences to share. He's a class act. |

I really love that presentation. Eber is just so funny. He must have a really interesting record collection. All the stuff I got into later, he was into first time round... |

He has really touched the hearts and souls of millions world-wide. I love watching how Adam has evolved as a guest on TV and radio. He really has much more control over how the interviews go. He has a lot more to say and more experiences to share. He's a class act. This round of interviews has been, as usual, interesting. By now, we fans know the answers to just about every possible question, but I have to keep in mind, that for most of the listeners, this is their first exposure to AFL. What fascinates me this time around is how Adam handles himself and the interview. He's always been a good subject of the interview, but now he is a master. Particularly telling was his answer about charm being important. From all accounts, Adam is naturally charming, down-to-earth, and a nice guy. This answer tells me that, while it is natural, it is also carefully cultivated; he knows it is as important an asset as his remarkable singing voice, perhaps more. Before people can hear him sing, they first have to know about him via publicity and media, and WANT to listen. By being consistently charming, approachable and nice, he insures the good will of the interviewers and the media people behind the scenes. Which leads to more interviews, more exposure, and positive comments. He charms not only the folks on set, but the people listening, who are more likely to click on a video of a performance, or even google him.
Adam has grown into an entertaining storyteller, taking after his father and brother. He has amassed stories for many of the frequently asked questions, and can respond quickly and confidently. He has observed what works and incorporates that in future interviews. It is impressive, but, when I think about it, it is just an extension of his performance experience and ability. We have seen him doing the same thing onstage: trying a new riff, a new segue, a new patter with the audience, a new move, a new interaction with the band. If it goes over well, we see it repeated.
Adam has impressive verbal skills. I think of his parents saying he was very talkative from a very early age. Plus, they provided him with a rich language environment to enhance his vocabulary and conversation style.
Adam also has impressive social intelligence. Ironically, this is probably in part due to his childhood experiences being an outcast, being a "weird kid." He wanted to be accepted, he wanted to have friends, so he needed to observe, study and practice people skills to overcome his status as an "undesirable." He needed to learn how to identify ways to charm others and make himself an asset; how to get along with everyone. He has cultivated an impressive patience with the process, including all the stoooopid games the media thinks will entertain their audience. More recently, Adam has learned how to control interviews and avoid the worst of the inappropriate questions and comments thrown his way. He can shut them down with a word or two, a smile and a chuckle that has just that hint of steel "don't even think about going there" behind it.
As much as I have thrilled to hear him mature as a vocalist over the last six years, I have also thoroughly enjoyed seeing him mature as a celebrity and a media personality. |
