I think that's a great list of amazing performances, except for one. Not so sure if that one brought the house down. Sorry, I think I'm still not over the AMAs. Part of his journey though, and a testament how much of a trailblazer Adam has been.

This is so funny. I thought I was the only one that the drums on the Live Video bothered. At parts they sound like somebody banging on a table. I hated to mention it since nobody else mentioned it...lol He looks gorgeous and sang beautifully....but the darn drums.....

The drums bothered me, but everything else was so good that I decided to ignore them. Not a specialist, but I think using drum brushes instead of sticks would have helped. Or whatever percussion instrument Isaac Carpenter used to bang on. OTOH, it helps underscore the live aspect of it - look ma, no computers!

OT: But this made me laugh so hard. They were just interviewing former Obama official Julian Castro on tv as he is running for President. They asked who he would want as a running mate and he said his identical twin brother Congressman Joaquin Castro tho he knows that is not possible. Then the guy asked who would head the ticket and Julian said he would cause my twin has that ugly beard. HA!! Even identical twin politicians are fighting over a beard.

“Can’t stress this enough — if more people listened to and supported LGBT+ artists — they’d get more slots.” Artists like Ariana get massive exposure and radio play. They get put on all the huge Spotify playlists. They perform at all the award shows. So naturally they can pull off arena size concerts. More people might listen to more LgBT artists if they got that kind of exposure that Ariana, Mendes, Sheran and some others receive but I guess we will never know. They have even pulled back some on supporting Sam (unless he is a feature) and he probably got more radio exposure than any other LGBT artists with Adam coming in a distant second I guess. Sam is gaining on top ITunes.. Last time I looked #9,Adam down to 55.. work it people There is only so much that Adam's established fandom can do, but in addition to streaming and buying it also helps to "share" what we are doing. SS has a bigger fan base, so a lot of things come easier for him. Not fair to make comparisons at this point, plus "vanilla" (how SS established his following) might always be preferred over the chili spiced chocolate that Adam is in every fiber of his being. I don't think there is a need to get down on ourselves just because a song that was not even released as a single dropped on iTunes. Adam is re-introducing himself and picking up new fans on the way, and I believe in the power of streaming. I am also sensing very positive vibes from social media outlets, which is really awesome. I don't think it would help to rub Adam in everybody's face - even the gay community itself is mainly celebrating their pop divas. Adam won't move to the next level overnight, but I think it helps to reflect upon the big picture and appreciate the amount of exposure and praise that he has gotten lately.
