In case anyone needs a Gokey fix, it will be shown Monday at 10 pm Eastern/ 9 Central. ??? ??? It's funny how something will make me think about Anoop or Megan or Allison and Kris, but I never ever wonder what is going on with Gokey or Scott Mc. I think I've just blotted them out of my memory. Oddly enough I watched my AI8 Adam DVD today and came to the conclusion that I will always love Paula because of her love and support for Adam. I don't remember how she treated anyone else because I haven't watched anyone's videos except Adams...... plus I don't really care. |

They must think he will draw viewers, but I don't know... |

The lights are coming on! And the people in chat, at the BM stream, said the camera is showing a wedding right now. The close up pics are very pixelated. Is that intentional, for privacy, do you think? www.ustream.tv/burningman |

Hello everybody, I am a long time lurker even from PF. I lurk almost everyday but rarely post. I haven't read through all the comments but Q3 I just have to respond to your question "Why?" This is also the first time I have had such an intense reaction to an artist. I struggled with this feeling through AI S8 when I had overnight trips to internet shops so that I could go online and follow discussions and the AI concert. Let me share my part of my post in one of the forums I used to visit. Bear with me because the review is about his AI songs. On his voice - Whenever I listen to him, I am moved to thank God for this unique gift and for the opportunity to hear and appreciate this. What I admire the most is how he took hold of this gift, studied it, mastered it and uses it to bring beauty and meaning to life through his music.
On his song interpretation – In one of the reviews I read, it said that one of his strengths is that he commits to the lyrics of the song. To this I agree. Then, I heard him say in one of his interviews that his song choices were based on how the songs lyrically resonate to him. I have looked up the lyrics of the songs, and did try to listen to the original and other versions of some of the songs for comparison. As a result, I came to appreciate most of Adam’s versions even more because I found them to be very meaningful. He doesn’t change the songs simply to fit into a favored genre or style or competencies of the singer but to fit how he feels about the song. His performances, in all the nuances of his singing (including the movements, outfit and lighting) so aptly capture the message and meaning conveyed by the songs. He really gives a unique life to the songs. I think this is TRUE ARTISTRY; because art always conveys a potent message. Here is how some of his songs come across to me.
Ring of Fire- the Middle Eastern flair may be strange to some but it totally captures the mystery of finding oneself falling into a fiery desire. And to close it with a moan, what could be sexier than that? Goodness, it felt like a cat in heat.
Mad World – In the other version (Gary Jules) it seems that the person is so depressed that at the end of the song, he/she is fading into despair. I like Adam’s version because it feels like the depressed person has a fighting chance amidst the madness, with the interplay of the shadow & light and white costume. And then it became a song of a tormented madman, so dark and mysterious. (Yeah, I thought of Phantom too, and still the song fits!)
Tracks of My Tears – He did his live version in that stripped down, poignant, contemplative way that so captures what Smokey Robinson was telling him about the message of the song. This shows that he really is a sensitive artist who has great respect for the song and songwriter.
If I Can’t Have You – what a beautiful love song about broken heart, but that message was somehow lost in the disco tempo.
Upbeat songs – his full, strong, roller coaster (going up and down his vocal range) vocals are for the wild (BTBW), those who wants to let loose sometimes (PTFM, Satisfaction), and those whose views need to be challenged (BoW).
I could go on and on but the gist is – he has the amazing talent and sensibility of conveying his message while showcasing his vocal abilities. He is really a master class artist.  |
