I too can't wait for "Believe". During Hollywood week on Idol, I remember so well Ryan's reaction when Adam told him he was singing "Believe" by Cher, and then Adam said "no, no, not the disco version!". I was totally blown away by that performance, as were the judges and the other contestants. What we've heard of Adam's Kennedy Honors version with the orchestra is just stunning. So proud of our guy!!
On another note, this is a very belated "thank you" to DancyGeorgia for posting that wonderful cat video about Mason a few days ago. As a cat lover, it just melted my heart.

When I see old pictures of Adam during his "underground" years, it makes me so much more appreciative that he found a way to elevate and change his status. He became a worldwide star with a lucrative and financially secure future. I'm not sure he expected any of that as he performed in those clubs or whatever venues, while hoping to make enough to make ends meet and living in a crummy apartment. Gold/platinum albums/singles in the US and other countries. Headlining solo world tours. Playing arenas and some stadiums worldwide as the Queen frontman. Making the Forbes list of highest earning Idols, while it existed, and even at the top once (only two winners, Carrie and Kelly had ever topped it). Performing at the Kennedy Center. Performing on CMT and impressing everyone. Grammy nomination and winning awards in several countries. Two #3 albums and one #1. Some acting gigs. Covers of too many magazines to even keep up with. Going on Idol opened so many doors for him. Has it been more of a challenge for him, than some others, because of his sexuality? I would say yes. But boy did he take advantage of the opportunities and challenges and fight his way thru any attacks and attempts to deny him. His talent and charisma are so big that he was able to keep standing while taking on hits. And he opened doors for some others who have not had to fight as hard for a seat at the table. Tho, he may not always get the deserved credit from those with changed memories of how difficult it was for him. He has come such a long way from those "underground" years and his fans are fortunate to have been with him every step of the way.
