Thank you for all the birthday wishes. I am a daily lurker and I really enjoy all of your posts. It is so nice to be part of a fandom where everyone is so nice. Thank you reihmer for the Reese's peanut butter cup cake. Peanuts and chocolate are 2 of my favorite things.

I think the vast majority of Adam fans enjoy listening to him talk as much as sing. That's a rare thing, which means his ability to evoke an emotion is not just about music and his voice, but about his magnetism, thought processes and charisma. Then of course, the fact that his voice is stunningly gorgeous and so is he, just adds layer on top of layer. ITA. The video below is a perfect example of what is mesmerizing about Adam in addition to his voice. I meant to include it in my BFTP post the other day. ( I'm kind of glad it's still a slow news day!) It's one of my favorite interviews, from the Idol tour days. I'm not sure what's most appealing -- the gorgeous just-rolled-out-of-bed look, or the stories he tells (including the messenger bag story). Actually, it's everything. Adam is so thoughtful (almost introspective), articulate, and engaging in this interview. Adam Lambert - Barnaby interview www.youtube.com/watch?v=aNPhft3l7eQAnd continuing with the BFTP idea, shortly after the 'best songs' poll closed, I posted a link to a video of Sonny and Cher singing I Got You Babe. But then later...I found this. And it's really kind of funny and cute, for anyone who's interested. This must have been one of their earliest performances because Cher actually seems both excited and a little nervous (she can't stand still!), and their CLOTHES, omg. Cher is wearing almost no makeup, and an outfit like she probably never wore again! And I love Sonny's furry vest -- I kind of remember that he and Cher both wore them, with their striped bellbottoms, lol. I wonder how Adam would feel about THIS Cher, haha.

Yes!!! She is hard at work on that right now. She has plans to talk about the lyrics with Philippa, the English lit professor who did a great job talking about Adam's lyrics on an earlier program. She plans to talk about the musical structure with Elizabeth, her long time accompanist and solo piano performer. She has asked juniemoon to share he impressions and/or her blog. Junie, did you agree??? Angelina and I have already Skyped about the song.... me just kinda fangirling, I guess, can't remember all we chatted about. She may include some of my comments, if they fit the structure. Since she was at the performance, herself, I think she will also talk about the impact of the voice and the song. Hey Cassie, yes, with your encouragement I agreed, though I confess the idea of it made me feel like hiding under the bed. That seemed "un-Adam," though, so I did it! I had written a blog about Outlaws of Love on ALFC that Angelina thought worthy of inclusion. I actually just got off of Skype with her a few minutes ago. First time to ever Skype ... another Adam first for me. I read the blog and then said some stuff that is already a total blur. Hopefully something there that sounds reasonably intelligent.  It was a lot of fun and the program should be really interesting. |

Quoting myself to add this: Whether or not you choose to listen to the program for 2 hours (which includes comments by Juneau and Xena as well, sometimes interrupting what Angelina is saying), DO read the script that Angelina wrote (not a literal transcript like I first thought). While reading it you do not hear the sweet lilt of Angelina's voice or her enthusiastic fangirling, but you have time to think about what she is saying, process it, and then listen to the samples of what she is talking about. Wonderful article to feed us with substance while we wait out the doldrums. Listening to the program now at the point where they play the first verse of "The Song for Peace" which is in Hebrew and Angelina is complimenting his phrasing and I'm thinking how emotionally connected that felt to me even though I have no idea what he is singing. Then I remember that when asked about it he said that he doesn't speak a word of Hebrew and he learned that phonetically. I also remember seeing comments online from Hebrew speakers who were amazed that he didn't speak the language after having heard that song. Put that together with him asking Smokey about what was behind him writing TOMT and I believe that as he learned the song he MUST have also been asking about the meaning of what he was singing and I'm not just talking about literal translation but the more the sense of the song. Compare that to that clip of the Ukranian guy singing Soaked which he more than likely doesn't understand a word of and you see the incredible difference. |

I am on flight delay -- the joys of flying in the 21st century!! I thought by now we would all have those Jetson flying cars. On the other hand when I watch the stupid shit people do in their cars every day as I drive I thank GOD that we don't all have flying cars.  |

The kid from s10 Idol that everyone kept comparing to Rod Stewart because he sang "Maggie May". But he totally sounds more like Sony. ;D ;D ;D ;D |
