I did actually think they could've been a pair of tights at first! Hey, Hells Angels wear tights under their jeans in the cold months, as wearing long johns is considered pussy... Well, if I may add to the palaver about Adam's hosiery I do believe the long black socks are similar in fabric to tights/pantyhose, just the knee length variety. I'll keep schtum after this. (Did I do well, freaky?) Haha, yes you did! You must be familiar with those words, Ann? And I have to go now, but what does Adam smell of, as people are always commenting on how nice he smells? Does he have a regular scent he wears?

happy wrote: Yes, I agree. I think it is very important to Adam's artistic soul that his lyrics have meaning and reflect the world around him and his internal world. I have nothing but respect for that purity of purpose. I also think that he is a very intelligent person, with a quick mind, and a father who possibly exposed him to the intricacies and vastness of words (guessing, but I do think this). So I think he approaches song writing wanting his songs to have depth and reflection and meaning. Even his fun songs, like These Boys, to me show a certain wit and intelligence. lyrics
And I have come to agree with those here who feel that These Boys has a real chance, with promotion and exposure, to go up the charts. For me just the way he sings the word radio is fun.
But I must disclose that I am the teensiest bit prejudiced.

I don't think Adam had anything to apologize for after the AMAs except for what he apologized for -- his vocals which were not his best. I also think that the net effect of the AMAs was positive for Adam -- it generate an enormous amount of press coverage and brought him a level of fame and blew away the American Idol stigma he had -- together that changed his trajectory for the better. It was net positive because he did not apologize. The people who should apologize are 1. Dr. Luke for the awful production of FYE and leaving it in Britney Spears' key. 2. the "brain trust" at 19 Entertainment and RCA who selected FYE as Adam's first single sort of (muddied up with TFM). 3. The production design team who came up with that impossible set for Adam to more through. 4. The AMA/Dick Clark Productions who promised an outrageous/shocking performance by Adam Lambert at ever commercial break. 5. The Disney/ABC execs who overreacted. And although millions watched the AMA and more watched the video of the performance, there were only 1,500 complaints -- all from one group with a political agenda. "No one" was really "shocked" by Adam's performance or the kiss. This sooooooooooo needed to be said!!! Thankyou! To drag Adam down while discussing SS makes me sick. Adam's performance on the AMA's was brilliant except for the dodgy vocals. NOTHING to apologize for. They may both be gay but that's where the similarities end, thank God! Regarding the fur, Adam's choice, like it or not, your choice! It's his life as we've been reminded of a million times. I didn't find Adam's AMA performance "brilliant." I was horrified when he pushed the guys face into his crotch, fingered the woman and did the Tommy kiss. And then seeing the finger to the audience later just sunk my stomach to the floor. He said he cried over it and that he was so hyped up by the previous performances that he way over did it, or something to that effect. I WAS "shocked" and I was not alone. I had to find my way past that, and I'm sorry, but it wasn't easy for me. Those who found it wonderful, good for you. It wasn't brilliant for everyone and I can't pretend that it was. It turned off some who really liked Adam and some have never come back. And these were not pearl clutchers, and neither am I. I'm glad I stayed.

On.the idol tour he took it all.the way haha. Women throwing underwear and bras.at him..Adam even said ok this is what the audience now want. Not knowing most of the tv audience still remember the nice gay kid from idol. But what he did was no different to what female performers had been doing for years. Fye is a sexually suggestive song. So he acted it out. Not Adams fault some never came bk, that's their problem for judging him on a one off performance. It have Adam world wide Attention. And allowed him to step out of the idol bubble and become Adam Lambert. But thats just me.

But I must disclose that I am the teensiest bit prejudiced. Adam had no hand in the writing of These Boys. He also doesn't have a writing credit on Shame, Underground and Evil in the Night. And given These Boys is a bonus track, it's unlikely to be a single. For me, both These Boys and Shame are kind of an awkward fit on TOH. They're so different in tone and mood from the rest of the songs. I also think they are the least interesting songs on the album -- kind of generic-sounding pop stuff. But YMMV, of course.

The mighty must fall? Makes me think how people must have been salivating at the chance to teach Adam he wasn't invincible after the AMAs, after all that was a whole performance, he knew he'd be there, much more than a modicum of preparation, it wasn't a surprise win. It did take him a month to come up with an explanation and and semi-apology that I found acceptable. Now if we say that Adam has learned from that and so Sam will too then that's fine but I'm quite sure there will be other opportunities for foot in mouth from Adam. Just this week it was fur so I guess he deserved the flak he got. Love ya but I think you want it both ways. Hell no...you are putting thoughts in my mouth that aren't there. Yes he brought on the flak for both events...and he has had to learn his lesson... I am not an animal activist nor a vegetarian, but I also would not flaunt a fur coat...but it is his right. And yes, he deserved the flak he got...he is a big boy... Just because I adore him does not mean I think everything he does is perfect....perfection is not interesting, for starters. Ok, I'll give you points for consistency if Sam can make mistakes then so too can our special snowflake. I think Adam has really grown over the years that we've "known" him, hopefully Sam will be able to do the same.
