That's depressing. And annoying. But I guess that's (part of) (AI?) 'fandom'. UGH! As Adam said in that interview where he talked about proudly going to school with a messenger bag and being ridiculed for carrying a purse -- "that's high school". #whyamistillhere?goodnight! IKR? Aw I still have sympathy pangs for Adam whenever I think of him telling his messenger bag story in that intervew. He was so cute about it, but oh man that must have just sucked when it happened in high school. Especially after watching his BTM and hearing him talking about trying so hard to fit in. I love that he has gained so much confidence over the years that he no longer gives a shit about fitting in, he happily does his own thing and owns every minute of it. I should not have come back to this page...it just depresses me. I don't go to any other forum and it is really distressing to think that one line..which I qualified immediately...may have been twitted or copied out of shape. I am not going to even go there as I don't need to get more stressed than I am from rl anyway. Not worth it. We have been down this road before.... No i did not ever say or even hint that his performances were shaped by drink or drugs!! To make it look like that is what I said is comparable to what we get so frustrated at meda for...taking a tentative line and blowing it up to look like we said something else. I did not post the original vid and that really was just a jumping off point for what I was posting on. I said at the time that this vid was not really a good example of what I was talking about....and apologies if that was assumed....I watched it once, briefly, and did not even recognize that it was a rehearsal...my bad as I have seen the performance that came out of that rehearsal. That was not my point. I was just saying that I see Adam getting more comfortable with sounding/being less scripted and more natural on stage. To me he mad a giant, positive step towards this, at Montreal. Yes I feel badly re the messenger bag....don't most of us have memories of making fashion/verbal 'mistakes' in school....maybe it is just me but I sure had my share of them. But then, I also was the smallest, youngest-in-class, nerdy outsider so I still squirm when I think of high school. OK...dead thread and I am not defending myself any more. Off to more simple flailing and rl. |

Off to more simple flailing and rl. Mszue, just want to say that I share your feelings about lines being taken out of context and used elsewhere. Also, I am sorry if my comments added to any perceived confusion about what you were saying in your post. It seems to be a common occurrence for people to read a comment quickly and react without really understanding what the other poster is trying to say (and I guess Adam deals with this kind of thing all the time in the media). I know I've been guilty of it myself, and I certainly know it's happened to me as well. It's both tricky and time-consuming to avoid that, and presumably we're all dealing with enough in RL. I thought your post was basically a really positive post envisioning good things for Adam as he continues to develop as a performer. And I agree with the banter not being as strong as his singing skills, but evolving. As for his SINGING performance skills, it's always hard to even imagine how he can continue to get better when he's off the charts already, but he always does continue, amazingly, to top his previous performances because he continues to work hard to excel and grow. High school was the pits for a lot of people, for a lot of different reasons. I know it was for me too. |
