Considering Eber's knowledgeable tweet in response, me thinks there will be no more Lambert brothers to flail over. What a shame !!!! Did anyone else have several minutes of confusion ??? followed by a light bulb moment?  Yep...HAHA. ( I was about to go check out Eber's tweets, when the light came on) |

Aspergers has such a range. One father and son who have it are way high end, one Dean of Liberal Arts at major college, son is graduate of Annapolis. Knew the son from time he was 7 and he never left a room without mayhem or breakage. Mom and dad kept strict regimen with him and by the time he was 13 or 14, 90% of time was okay, 10% usually brought about by stress or turmoil. One of their major factors is they are very literal. Both IQs over 150, but if you tell a subtle joke, play on words, they will take a minute or never to get it.
On the other hand, good friend's son who is 11 and is brilliant but totally disruptive in school if anything throws him off his "schedule." They had one snow day this year and it totally freaked him out that the bus was coming 2 hours later and classes were shorter. If he is put in charge of a committee, no one else is allowed to come up with ideas because it is HIS committee. He controls it at his dad's because he is afraid of his dad (normal fear, not abusive dad) but at mom's he is a terror because he can be.
Anyway, I don't know the scientific principles, just what I have witnessed and know nothing at all about Tourette except what I've seen on 20/20 or something.
After thinking a lot about Durbin today, I'm as aggravated with Randy for perpetuating the comparison just as he did with Siobhan until Simon shut it down. Randy has said a few things that have displeased me this year, and he says them as if they are fact as opposed to opinion, which also makes me unhappy. It's as if he is trying to make this the best year simply by saying it is so.

Atop was well represented at the Indy concert. We were so thrilled to be the concert Vevo recorded. Let's see: cookie, 4msrmyn, babs12, and I'm sure I'm leaving someone out...my daughter and 4ms daughter, glamtraveler, anymore? Kittykay was there in spirit as I gave a co- worker her ticket as RL got in her way (giant bummer) We didn't want to leave when it ended cuz we knew we had just seen/heard something so special. If I recall, there was a little grumbling among the masses cuz Adam was especially late arriving at the top of those stairs! However, once he took our breath away there was nary a grumble, just the rumble of applause. And he and the glamily did it straight thru, no stopping for Vevo cameras. Ah, I'm stoked about the DVD!!! I was there, too, with my 2 converts in tow. We weren't sad when the concert was over since we were heading off to Evansville the next morning...with the promise of Peoria in a few more days. I was extremely fortunate to see 4 shows last summer. Prior Lake was my first, and each show was wonderful in a different way. I wish I could have gone to more, but it didn't work out. |

The Sleepwalker GNT Video -- is awesome. This is the arrangement that they should have released as a single -- but a studio version, mixed for radio. It is so much more powerful without the long instrumental lead-in. And JMHO Monte's more rock-centric guitar break is better for me. (And I think Orianthi is great, just think Monte and Adam are perfect together.)

I am trying not to watch any of the GNT DVD videos because I want to see it fresh when my DVD arrives, but you guys are making it very tough!

Boy! Here is another way Durbin is different from our Adam! Help out James and his girlfriend. They’ve set up a PO Box for donations to help with their son and them: bit.ly/eIA6Um

It's as if he is trying to make this the best year simply by saying it is so. You are so right about Asperger's and Randy! I just am so sick of all these Idol sob stories -- everyone has obstacles in their lives -- but whatever. They need to do whatever they can to stay #1 and the producers will use everyone and every trick in the book. If talking about Adam is what they think they need to do -- well keep talking about him. Because in the end, it just proves who the breakout star from Idol is from AI5 - AI9 -- because I do not here them invoking Daughtry, Cook, Archie, Jordin, Kris or Lee -- just Adam. In fact, haven't heard mention of even Carrie or Kelly by the judges -- just Adam. Just like last year. Well Adam is unforgettable -- love him, hate him, doesn't matter, people still remember him. And maybe it does prove that he broke Idol. |

Is there another link to this SW? |

WELCOME lindam88888 and algalhiGlad you delurked and have joined us.. Well.. I haven't really seen Durbin compare himself to Adam acutally.. he has mentioned Adams name.. but, I haven't heard him say.. "I sing like Adam Lambert"... he said.. I put in high notes LIKE Adam Lambert.. and my favorite moment from S8 was Adam Lambert w/KISS.. because he loves KISS .. didn't say he loved Adam.. Well I am trying so hard to not watch but, I really love Fever and I finally watched that one and SW.. man I can't wait for the whole thing. If they only put up a clip at the rate of 1 a wk you won't have the whole show.. so this seems to be just a taste of the show.  |
