Happy birthday Chunkey and JJ! As a newbie, can I ask, is it OK to post essays here? I have written two blog posts over on ALFC that I think some of you might enjoy. I'm working on a series of thoughts about Adam as an artist. I'd welcome any comments either here or on ALFC. I am going to post a teaser and links here ... please let me know if I'm violating a protocol. I want to be a good citizen of Adamtopia and will gladly take this away if not OK. Adam the Artist: Freedom of ExpressionOne of the first things I ever noticed about Adam was that he described himself in a way that really surprised me. And no, it wasn�t �weird fuckin� fag.� It was �artist.� When I was growing up, it was unheard of for a pop musician to be described as an artist, and frankly anyone who had gone around proclaiming himself to be an artist would have been derided as insufferably pretentious. Back then, the idea was still popular that great entertainers were Tarzan-like savants who simply wandered in off the streets with a song in their hearts. Shows like American Idol, which omit to mention years of hard work and musical education in the young people�s biographies, still promote this idea. Back in the day, even sophisticated pop performers like Elton John and Michael Jackson would demur if �accused� of being an artist; the only proper response was �Aw shucks, ma�am, I�m just an entertainer.� Read the whole post adamlambertfans.com/users/juniemoon/blogs/1420701Adam the Artist: Living the Lifestyle When I first heard about this idea of living an artist�s lifestyle, the first thing I thought of was Moulin Rouge. Artists sit around drinking absinthe, hanging out with transvestites, and partying all night, right? Substitute tequila for absinthe and chalk up another one for Adam as a great artist! Well, no. Living an artist�s lifestyle actually means something quite different (though it certainly allows for more partying than the average 9-5er can endure). What it means is embracing art not as an activity that one does for money or in one�s spare time, but as part of one�s everyday life and purpose. Read the whole post adamlambertfans.com/users/juniemoon/blogs/1426331Thank you! We love thoughtful, insightful, challenging and/or humorous essays here at ATop. The way you introduced your blogs is perfect: a short selection to intrigue, and then a link to the entire thing. May I also suggest that we have a special area for these extended thoughts about Adam. In the Salon there is a board under Inspired by Adam, called "Adam Musing." Be sure to post the blog, or at least a link to it there, too. (You can let us know in the daily thread that you have posted something new there.) Things go by so fast in the daily thread, that they are hard to find later when you want to re-read, quote or comment. In Adam Musing, it is preserved and much easier to find. adamtopia.com/index.cgi?board=inspired&action=display&thread=61Thanks for joining us and sharing with us! |

Artistic. And no more marriage proposals shouted out to ruin the mood. Downloading this audio to keep. I will delete the earlier versions. This is by far the best. Don't miss it! |

Adam will be Adam.. IMHO I think that he will never sell himself out. He has basically said this to all who listen and hear him. I'm Not wearing a t shirt that says gay but that says ADAM.He said it to the OUT editor,he said it to the gay community ,he said it to his father and he says it to his fans.I am who I am. I think the artist will always win out over the money for Adam.. Because his essence is himself,the ARTIST.Just saying

I so hope that A&S go to the BM! Even for a couple of days! and I also hope that momtomany and the other Glambert that I know is going  (and used to post on PF) would bump into him and have a laugh together Bringing from the yesterday's thread: I think Adam interestingly enough has come to acknowledge this too. I've said for a long time that the AMAs was Adam's version of stage fright which of course drove people crazy because "Adam has said he doesn't get nervous anymore." Well Adam has changed his tune and in hindsight even used nervous to describe his feelings at the AMAs. I'm not real fond of any event for a single premier unless it's another fan concert or maybe an outside morning show when the crowd shows up just because he's there. That infinity symbol and the crowd feedback loop is so important. It's not that he doesn't sell it well, it's that as an observer, a neutral audience just doesn't give him anything to work with. No wall of sound, no crazy arms at the edge of the stage. People need to be up against a barrier, jammed packed together, and not sitting politely in their seats. AI appearances are always the exception to this rule. Last night my TV got turned while America Got Talent was on...someone was singing...EVERY note was off key, the voice was screeching and utterly unpleasant, at the end there was a scream that made the Gokey scream into a glorious singing.... my only thought was - "wow, that's all they got to show?".... and then I hear the judges saying these words" - it was AMAZING!", "THAT was a PERFORMANCE"! ...it turns out this was a results show and the singer was Demi Lovato (sp?) ...I am still in shock at to HOW ON EARTH CAN SHE BE A SINGING STAR? WTF?????? My point is that Adam at his VERY WORST cannot possibly do that bad...if the public eats that garbage up - how can Adam fail? As far as I am concerned he can go on any show and kill it. If the DJs do not play him - it will not be caused by a "bad performance". (and I am still convinced that AMAs turned out to be the BEST thing for the world wide publicity that happened to him ;D)... Yes that is true, I mean even the AMA's when I first heard it I thought it was bad, but when I got the courage to listen/watch again, it wasn't that bad, well certain parts were but still some was passing. But my thing is, the public eats this stuff up no matter how bad it is, but for Adam it seems, that he's facing so much it seems that he must needs to keep proving himself. It reminds me of a quote from Tyra on America's Next Top Model, when she was talking about the plus size models, and other minorities. She said something about it not being enough simply to be as good as or a little better then other models, that the others will get picked over you cause they're easier and cheaper to market, that you have to be so much better to give them a reason and make them have to look at you. |
