Just a few comments about the latest topics. First, I'm so glad that Adam's home SEEMS to be safe from the fires. I've been watching the news and hoping he wasn't close to it all. I don't know my way around the LA area so I didn't know exactly where he lives. Thanks for the map. I helps!
Glad to hear from Nile again! I hope his comments about getting back with Adam to do some kind of collab will really happen. Nile really likes and respects Adam. I hope his tweet isn't just a kind of vague nicety to make Adam's fans happy. I'd really LOVE to see them actually do something.

Agree... My post re perhaps --grey lemmings (ie fans) following Adam ...was meant to be kind...meaning not the mice story. I learned that I was wrong. Does not matter. She makes dolls, others collect images of Adam, others buy for articles in magazines...well it goes on and on. As for the other points--"Sometimes" when I do not post about topics, it is for a reason. Soeulmate taught me that one! ( cannot say I abide by the lesson all the time...but usually) Sometimes I think we get too much time on our hands, Adam-wise, and we start to dig around for things to talk about. Usually, I love every discussion, even the kind of controversial ones. I usually learn something. When he's touring or has new music out, there is LOTS to celebrate. During the hiatus, we branch off in many directions. BTW, I love the dolls! They are clever and creative and they are made SO FAST after the event that inspired them! I respect all the fan art. I like some better than others, but it's a talent I sure don't have. Keep it up! And thanks to all the mods for keeping this site so great. I ain't always easy.

After her first 20 dolls, it all started creeping me out. It has not gone unnoticed either, by me, that Adam has never once commented about these. What's the difference between dolls and other fan art? Unless they are subconsciously viewed as voodoo dolls? On the subject of this diorama I think that pandas or penguins would have looked better. Dolls of real people are just creepy to me. I wouldn't want a doll of myself either.

Adam is not in danger at all. But the Cherry's house could be. Also, Ashley lives somewhere in Burbank and I know she's had horses, so she could be in danger. Tommy is also somewhere in Burbank.

I love the dolls, and look forward to seeing them ... I know she does it from a place of love for Adam, and in such a creative way! I agree, Karen. I've always loved her dolls. I can't imagine how many hours of work go into them and am amazed at how fast she can create Adam's new looks.

Interesting perceptions. I thought we were just expressing opinions. I certainly was not telling Adam how to sing or what to sing. As far as I know, he does not read Adamtopia, and if he did, my comment still was not directed to him. Just saying what I enjoy. As for my request to encourage Angelina.... that was it. Encourage. Not "beg." And not in spite of her not wanting to talk about Adam's voice. We have had many wonderful discussions about it. She has an incredible depth of knowledge about the human voice and has generously shared that with fans in the past. She stopped because she felt fans were not interested or didn't think she had valid things to say. It was my perception that many fans ARE interested and value her knowledge. I wanted her to know that. As to criticizing fan art, it is my opinion that any artist who publishes their creations on a public forum is inviting reactions and feedback. Artists WANT their audience to have an emotional reaction, to be affected. It is inevitable that some will love it, some will hate it, and some will be neutral. Some will find deep meaning in it, and some will not understand it at all. It's fair game, IMO. As long as one is expressing it as THEIR opinion or reaction. Agree. We've spent 8+ years discussing what Adam should/shouldn't sing and/or what we WANT him to sing. Nothing new here. Nothing's changed. Dolls? We've had this discussion many times, too. Scroll is my friend. Very fast scrolling. Angelina? Well, it sure seems she has support here on ATOP! Maybe she could make some comments and post them HERE, even in the Adam's voice thread, and we could all go over there and discuss to our hearts' content!
