I have a question on the Michael Orland tweets if someone knows. Has Adam mentioned him recently or were the tweets in ref to an old mention?

I guess I'm physically incapable of NOT commenting on the Beth performance whenever it comes up, lol. For me, it was iconic and utterly perfect. And more so in hindsight, imo. Given that it was Adam's last solo on the finale, I feel like his choice of Beth was a statement he wanted to make. Based on what Adam said in the RS interview, the perf with KISS was a giant WTF for him. Not sure what the producers were thinking, but as Q3 said, Adam took it and made sparkling champagne out of lemons. I can only imagine Adam doing his research, listening to the KISS catalog, trying to find something to which he could connect. And brilliantly, he decided upon Beth, a pretty enough little song. When sung by KISS, it speaks to the struggle of a musician torn between the pull of his art and his fellow artists, and the woman waiting at home alone. When sung by Adam, well, there is that meaning also, but the sparkle in his eye when he looks into the camera, and the little brow lift at the end... It was pretty much a wink at the audience, imo, and an "inside" joke for those viewers who wouldn't be surprised by his big announcement in RS a few weeks later, lol. Beautiful! Just for kicks, I found a YT of a KISS live perf of the song, and it's actually quite good, but Adam's vocals leave this in the dust. I do love the orchestral arrangement tho:[cringe] I'm sorry NoAngel, but I couldn't listen to more than about 20 seconds of the singing. It totally sounded like (Peter?) was trying to cough up a hairball while straining out the notes. Literally was getting a pain reaction in my own throat with those first few bars. Maybe it improved later on, but I just couldn't get there.  ETA: That said, the staging I saw was really cute. Oh. Um. Well. Not good. More than "a little pitchy, dawg." And lots of strain on the higher notes, which aren't even high. Adam sure knows how to "ruin" a song so that no one else's version, even the original, sounds good. |

I have a question on the Michael Orland tweets if someone knows. Has Adam mentioned him recently or were the tweets in ref to an old mention? No, Michael just randomly tweeted the IIHY video last night and said how great it was that Adam was so appreciative. Then fans were asking him about it and he was responding. Some people were joking around on Twitter saying, "Hmm, does Michael Orland get sucked into watching Adam vids like us or what?" Maybe he was reflecting on the concepts of appreciation and thought he'd toss out an example? IDK. |

Wouldn't surprise me if it is owned by a friend of Adam. He knows everyone. How is the money made? I heard Adam got paid by click. Is this true? Is he also paid to endorse? I can see it being a status symbol, therefore worth more, to be invited. It keeps people who are wannabe celebrities from watering down and clustering the site. |
