One last thing, to make justkaren happy, plus we all like an undistorted Adam. To get the ratio of the picture just right you need to go into your profile and change the avatar width to 89 and the avatar height to 100, then Adam will not be distorted at all.  Done! So excited to have such a perfect avi! - Your avi is indeed perfect!! Can I ask how you got the rounded corners on your picture ? I don't recall seeing a pic like this before - they make the pic look really "finished", and I'd love to do the same to my avi! |

I think the original picture was like that. Sorry I can't help - neophite in the photo/tech arena! |

This season's AI: Finally watched an entire episode tonight, and my verdict is in. For me, Adam broke Idol. Plain and simple... 2. When Adam stands still and just sings the stillness runs deep. No nervous twitches, no deer in headlights stiffness. It is stillness with power, purpose and energy. When Adam moves he moves with purpose and grace. It fits the performance and adds to it. In stillness or in movement, Adam owns the stage. - always love your posts! One of the things I noticed from the beginning about Adam is how "still" he can be when he's singing. Totally relaxed, no shifting feet, or hand movements except where they're intentional - just that wonderful voice, with nothing to distract the listener. It's evident even in his earlier pre-idol videos for the telethons - I don't know where he learned to do this, but I notice it every time! |

This season's AI: Finally watched an entire episode tonight, and my verdict is in. For me, Adam broke Idol. Plain and simple. Having said that, I agree with others that JLo and Perry are interesting judges. Idol also seems to have harvested a larger group of good singers. The quality and quantity are the best of the seasons I have seen. Any other time before Adam I would have been very interested. Now, not so much. After watching tonight I had to go back and watch the footage of Adam's audition and Hollywood week performances. No comparison. Such a palpable difference. 1. As I keep saying (Randy and I are broken records?) Adam live doesn't sound like Adam live. It sounds too good. It sounds too perfect. It sounds too polished. It sounds produced in the studio. Most of the kids I saw tonight sounded good, but there would be no way to imagine they were not live. Really, folks, one of the miracles of Adam's voice is that it just rolls out of his mouth with such finesse, such beautiful tone, such a finished sound. A sound I never hear from pop/rock singers except from a studio recording. 2. When Adam stands still and just sings the stillness runs deep. No nervous twitches, no deer in headlights stiffness. It is stillness with power, purpose and energy. When Adam moves he moves with purpose and grace. It fits the performance and adds to it. In stillness or in movement, Adam owns the stage. 3. It is sometimes difficult to appreciate how good Adam's voice is --- especially when so many others are so bad. Of course he sounds better; in a different league. But, listening to all those GOOD singers tonight, Adam still sounds like he is from a different world. Tonight I think I finally understood the "theatrical" comment, too. All of those things I noted above result in a performance that is thoroughly professional, at the highest level. It is finished. It is complete. Perfectly crafted. Probably for some, too polished and professional to the point of being unreal or "theatrical." Not for me, tho. For me it is yummy, rich indulgence I can get lost in. Sorry to wax so flowery and OTT. What can I say? Adam broke Idol for me and listening to good, promising singers no longer holds my interest. Thank you for that recap, I really appreciate it, both in that I don't plan to watch AI (never did till Adam) so it's good to hear a summary from someone who has watched it PLUS you have so much knowledge about singing that it gives your opinion (in my eyes) added gravitas. |

JLo and Perry are interesting judges. Switching to CNN during commercial breaks, are we? ???  ;D ============================ German media coverage is starting to ramp up again: Why a country with such declining birth rates needs so many different teeny-magazines, I have no idea, but here is the newest AL spread in the German magazine Twist. And of course I am not complaining at all, its great coverage….just they are a chatty bunch and so it took a while to translate and watch idol with the other half of my own attention, so if you find any AI thrown in with the mix, yeap, I was not attentively sitting in front of Ford commercials either. For overall look, pictures and feel for the spread, go to the German fan site: www.adamnews.de/2011/02/23/adam-in-den-aktuellen-jugendzeitschriften/HE IS ONLY GETTING STARTED! Totally new Adam-Feeling: The singer is enjoying his life – but his fans benefit too….. Pictures starting from the top left (clock-wise) I’ll translate as much as I can read:Old pic: Totally styled, that was Adam until recently New pic: Easy going: The fitting hairstyle for a new way of life New Friend: Cool boys: Adam and his sweetheart Sauli in front of a restaurant in Beverly Hills, LA Great fun: The couple with the Californian show ensemble Cirque B… Full Power: Last year the Mega star was from June til December continuously on tour with GN – now he wants to write a lot of new songs. Article:Wow, look how the guy is beaming. Finally Adam Lambert (29) is happy again! Just a few months ago he told us at TWIST: “I am lonely”. But now that is over. As was now revealed, he is dating already since November a new guy named Sauli Koskinen (25). He met him in Helsinki / Finnland after a concert there. And since then the two are inseperable. Sauli, who btw won in 2007 the Finnish version of the reality show BB, does not leave Adam’s side even for a second (sic!). Whether it is amusement park in Florida (sic!), romantic dinner, shopping or circus visit (!) in LA. The two do everything together and show the world how happy they are. And the fans are happy to finally see their hero Adam with a big grin on his face again. In the end a new relationship is also good for his career. Because TV-moderator Sauli enourages Adam quite a bit to really step it up on the music side. Adam’s next album is supposed to be more intimate and romantic and even better than his debut album FYE from 2009. I’ll take my time, to write personal songs full of power, lets the singer know. The first single is to be released in the summer and the album should follow in the fall. And optically, the WWFM singer has changed too. In January he presented his new long fuzzy/cuddly mane which definitely removes him from any possible Bill Kaulitz look. Cool Hair-do, super boyfriend, great plans. We at TWIST are crossing our fingers and we are convinced: 2011 will be your year, Adam! I think the Flop / Top / Flop page is pretty self-explanatory: The text for Adam reads: So black, so cool, the relaxed suit-shirt combo, trendy shoes and jewelry accessories make the singer (29) the hot person to look at. The final page is one of the typical teen magazine quizzes, asking 7 questions and determining your “type” based on points for a,b,c.
The question they this time answer is: What music type are you?
I cannot read the questions and choices, even if I zoom in, but who cares anyways, the interesting part is. The three music types are the 7/24 party boy (not Adam), the man of variety (Adam) and then the romantic kind (Taylor S). The text for Adam says:No matter whether its pounding beats, rocking guitar solos or cool rap….you listen to everything you happen to like and do not settle for just one style. Exactly this is also the motto of AL (29). This way the singer does not get bored during song-writing…and you won’t get bored listening either. Finally, they printed an email that was sent to TWIST magazine and it says:Adam is totally happy with Sauli Thanks for the autograph card and the report on Adam in Bravo7. He and his boyfriend look so lovely together. I am so insanely delighted that he is finally happy again. It’s hard to miss that Sauli makes him feel good. One wish I would have: It would be great, if you could report on Adam’s birthday project for charity:water. In the end he has broken a donations record and we “Glamberts” have brought down the (web)page more than once in the process! |
