8.1.11 Adam News & Information

Was talking with another Atopian earlier today. We were remarking on how deeply emotional OoL was, and wondering how he could be that immersed in the emotions and still be able to sing at all. When I get emotional, my throat and chest seize up, and I CANNOT sing a note. Adam seems to have this knack for simultaneously digging into a deep emotional place, while part of him remains on the outside to monitor the performance, the technique, and the audience. As Kanadie pointed out, his many years in theater serve him well in so many aspects.

Then, this afternoon, I was watching a reality cooking show. One of the contestants got choked up while presenting her food and talking about her memories of her Dad. She got thru it, and left the sound stage. Then, the judges discussed her performance. They said that while it is important for a performer to be "real" and tap into emotions, if they start to cry, the audience suddenly feels like it is their fault. The audience feels responsible in some way for making the performer cry. One commented, "I don't want to feel the responsibility for her emotions."

I thought the point of view was insightful. A performer must find that very delicate balance of exposing themselves, evoking emotion in others, while maintaining the control to keep performing without "dumping" their feelings onto the shoulders of the audience. It's good to be able to make members of the audience cry with deep feelings. It's not necessarily good to break down in front of the audience. The first is cathartic in releasing the audience's feelings. The latter can make the audience feel tense and uncomfortable, wanting to console the performer. Does that make any sense?

Adam is adamazing!

I'm not an expert, but I think the bridge is the distinctive section between the last verse and the chorus; called the bridge cuz it connects.

OK, to try and clear up all the confusion over this conference room tweet message lets look at this more carefully. I don't know who brought the tweet over but it seems that there has been the usual confusion over who is sending the tweet and who is getting it, etc.

This was the tweet:
stylesd1 Dustin
Adam Lambert in our conference room @tdstew @samanthasloane


sender = stylesd1
sent to @tdstew and @samanthasloane

There isn't a bio on stylesd1 twitter but just perusing the past tweets I come to the conclusion that Adam was in a conference room wherever this person works. I couldn't really come to any conclusions about where that might be from the last 20-30 tweets.

The @tdstew person may be involved in the music industry in some way judging by some of that persons last tweets. But I think in this instance just happened to be a friend of stylesd1. Likewise with samanthasloane. So basically some random person of no consequence happens to work somewhere Adam happened to be today and tweeted it out to a couple of friends.

Even if you don't have a twitter account you can view these things yourself. Just type in twitter.com/ and then the name(without the @)such as stylesd1 and it will bring up that persons page and you can read all of the tweets they have sent out. If you type the name in the search box at the top of the twitter page it will give you all the tweets with that name in them so you will see theirs as well as the ones being sent to them.

While no of this tells us who stylesd1 is or where he works it will hopefully clarify things a bit as to who is saying what.

This has been my PSA for today, thank you for reading along. ;D ;D ;D ;D
