Jesslala, I had not seen about half of those pics before. Fun! Thanks. Altho....I personally prefer aqua (my favorite color) to khaki (boring for me). I'm probably in the minority on that one, too, lol. Rihannsu, great post. LOL! jesslala I've always thought it was the tank that was the heinous part of this ensemble. If you're still feeling creative, could you try one with the aqua shorts and different colored tank - maybe black? There's no hope for that shirt. LOL      Sorry, couldn't resist that last one.  |

Yeah! Let's start thinking about difficult subjects, like "Adam looking over his shoulder pics"   LOL, reihmer, that took a whole 3 minutes! Wanna re-think the "Gelly would beat me" statement?... 8-) |

My favorite, that rises to the occasion is from Rock My Town, FYE. Someone screen capped this picture for me at the time. Still apprecaitive, I only posted it a time of two, it does not do it justice but the video does ... But the real action is around 13-16 second mark. You have to keep your eye on the prize...pretty quick. www.youtube.com/watch?v=4Wc5IsxFAg8C:\Documents and Settings\Stan\My Documents\My Pictures\Adam folder\Adam Folder\adam fye.jpg You have to click to enlarge the picture.

When I think of torch singers I think of a shadowy stage, one spotlight on an unbelievably sexy woman dressed in black, and accompanied only by one bass player and maybe drums with brushes, not sticks.
Like Peggy Lee and Fever.
That may not be what it is, but it's what comes to mind for me.
Adam would KILL in this genre.
Duh!

lol jesslala - you are GOOD! Great photoshopping skills  I had the same idea back in mid July, did this version and posted it here at the time on what was probably a near dead thread. I think I was trying to calm Q3 down after one of her rants comments about the aqua board shorts.    |

Lurking for awhile because I don't have more to add to the intelligent and sometimes really wacky or snarky but relevant responses and posts of late . . .
and. . . I'm not in LA having a hell of a time with Susie Fierce, S*&@^#r, and Company. I'm sitting out a rain delay for the Yankees/Detroit Tigers game. Please send the Universe to Detroit! My boy is part of the team! Go TIGERS!!!
Okay. I'm taking a deep breath.
I do know something about torch.
Someone we all know has already taken 'Someone to Watch Over Me'.
There are so, so many more songs Adam could cover - with or without another to 'solo' with him.
Cassie - check out my list, and see if you agree.
Anything, anything by Harold Arlen. He just happened to write "Somewhere Over the Rainbow".
He also wrote "Stormy Weather","Come Rain or Come Shine", "Last Night When We Were Young" and "The Man That Got Away". Glorious songs with lyrics that mean more than most of what I find these days.
Check out "You're Nearer". Judy Garland sang it at Carnegie Hall. But, she didn't sing the introduction to the song, by Larry Hart. It goes like this: "Time is a healer but it cannot heal my heart. My mind says I've forgotten you, but then, I feel my heart. Though miles lie between us still your fingers touch my own. You're never far away from me, for you're too much my own . . ."
Oh, there is so much 'torch' out there! So many songs. If you are young, you may have never heard them. They will steal your heart and make you cry. I haven't included Cole Porter. That's because it's easy to encapsulate his volume of work. Everything! Listen to "Love For Sale" or "Everytime We Say Goodbye" or a myriad of witty, often sarcastic melodies . . . "Let's Do It" . . . and "Too Darn Hot!" . . . a song meant for Adam Fucking Lambert. . . . written before his parents were born!
This reflection reminds me of the incredible expanse of the sound of music. It's reach encompasses generations. We all feel the rain; we all feel the same. If Adam covered any of these he would have us weeping and/or cheering. I wonder if he knows it.
"If Love Were All" by Noel Coward
"Alone Together"
"Do It Again" George Gershwin - - - please, check it out - - someone would say it says too much.
"My Funny Valentine" - another by Larry Hart; who was so tormented he left his collaboration with Richard Rodgers - who then partnered with Oscar Hammerstein - and the rest is more current history.
Okay. Thanks for getting this far. Music is really such exquisite pleasure and pain.
