So lovely to read all the Ten Year memories. It’s been a wonderful ten years....following a life which has expanded my horizons, my understanding, my friendships...and my courage. But mostly I am grateful that Adam has seen such success; that he wasn’t a rose destined to bloom unseen. We see you Adam. Ah, Sophieb . . . you are one amazing discovery I've experienced in the past ten years. My 'anniversary' with Adam began when he sang "Satisfaction" as I was flipping through television channels. He burst open a door in my heart; I felt as if my DNA changed when I heard his voice. Planet Fierce was my daily, hourly, 'go to' place until the day it disappeared. Oh, so thankfully, Adamtopia appeared, and I've been here ever since. In the past year I have posted very little. I always think the day will come, soon, when I'll return with my thoughts about Adam, his glorious vocal gift, his beautiful mind, his determined, purely unapologetic, honest heart. These are reasons he has mine. Sophie - your quote reminded me of a poem, which says "Full many a flower is born to blush unseen, and waste its sweetness on the desert air." This quote spoke to me many years ago, at a very sad time. Through this past decade of wonder, discovery, and my own personal journey to authenticity, I've learned so much from the friends at Adamtopia. I cherish every moment I've been with you . . . the concerts, the pre and post parties, the notes and letters, photos, mementoes. I've walked the streets of London, lost, at 3AM with Q3; discovered the only bar open in Chicago at 2AM with Adamrocks; curled up on the front seat floorboard of a rental car with Grandduchess; taken the train along the North Sea with SophieB; and, for a time, loved and cared for the splendid, restored 'Marry the Night' chandelier that was JustKaren's. So many memories, shared with Mszue, Grandduchess, Didilynn (we just saw BoRhap in San Francisco last weekend!), Theosgma, Lorraine, and so, so many others here. My passion for Adam and his journey includes the joy I've discovered with each of you. My DH and I continue to rebuild our future. Just now, in the rain, we walked, 'soaked to the bone', through the fledgling structure of our new home. It never occurred to me that anything could overshadow the joy I've felt since 2009. But the fire happened; and my life has changed; the flames altered me and my outlook; just like Adam's voice did, in a different way. The experience of Adam opened my heart; the experience of the fire closed a part of my life. I'm seeing the future again; and it's wonderful and full of hope. I never thought the roller coaster of AFL would be a constant, steadying force, but, believe me, it is. Adamtopia - and all its ups and downs; the analyzing and the angst; still remains as a place of news and wonder. Thank you all for this gift.

Gelly doesn't miss a thing...lol My question now: Why was Adam’s name deleted? And only Adam’s? Is he some kind of surprise guest? Part of a game? Questions over questions.... 😁

De-lurking on this special day to say I’m still here. I’ve had so much fun over the past 10 years with Atop-related adventures & friendships! Thanks Adamtopia and all who contribute!

Funny story about that, the Idol show with Mad World went overtime (I don't think it was because of football but I can't remember) and many people did not get to see Adam sing. It just so happened that I watched and recorded the show after Idol, so I got to see the whole thing immediately. That performance sealed the deal for me - the staging, the lighting, the costume, the dramatic arc, and of course the voice - incredible The show after American Idol was "Fringe". I did the same.

Questions over questions.... 😁 Kinda sounds like part of a game doesn't it because of keeping his name secret. I don't watch Corden's show...I know about the Carpool Karoke segments...but don't know if he has "surprise" guests or plays games. Shosh said no performance. Wonder if he's gonna appear as "Bud" Madrid with the audience guessing who it is. Guess we'll see in about 4 hours.

Gelly doesn't miss a thing...lol Ok, I'm thinking that the theme is "moves" either sports or dance .... so Adam teaches James to body-roll. That would be cute, right!?! Whatever it is, Adam will make it fun. Gonna DVR it in case I get interrupted. But I know his part will be posted here, too.

Johnny posted another IG story from outside...can't tell where he is...maybe a roof? There's an orange parking cone. The Hollywood sign is in the background.

#10YearsOfAdamLambert I knew nothing about the LGBT community until I fell in love with Adam. I feel like I had life lessons that were lacking in me before he walked out on Idol and changed this country and me.
