Another great day for Adam fans. Love, love, LOVE the Advocate outtakes. He's so honest and candid and his self awareness blows my mind. Some people never reach that stage in their lives and he's not yet 30.
I too had never heard of Nile Rodgers, but am thrilled that Adam is getting to work with these highly regarded collaborators in one way or another. While fame may not have been his main goal, I think it definitely plays at least a small part in some of these opportunities he's been getting.
You can just feel the excitement being ratcheted (sp?) up another level. When we finally get that single announcement, it really IS going to explode, because we are SO ready!

Why did people vote for Adam on AI? Vocal ability? Rawk God? Elvis factor? Different and exciting? If we think many voters voted for Adam due to his voice, why wouldn't we think many voted for Scotty because of his voice? There are always several factors that go into why the public votes for someone. Scotty's single, EP and album sales numbers are backing up the assumption on my part that some of the voters actually liked Scotty's voice. Will he continue to improve and grow into a mature performer? No one knows at this point, because he is so young and inexperienced. He has the tools and the desire and seems to be unusual mature for his age. Time will tell.  This is so true!!! We will see these boots a hundred more times over the next couple of years! The man sure loves his boots and jackets! There's always more reasons then just the voice for people voting for a contestant on Idol. I think for Adam it was his voice, along with his "edgy" looks, his performance ability, him providing an endless sense of entertainment, his bad boy yet boy next door demeanor etc,. I can see that you really like Scotty, but sorry I can't really stand the kid. I mean he was one of the ones that I really wanted to be voted off at first, but came to quickly realize that he'll probably win, so just fast forward through all of his performances. Funny thing is, I thought that I liked country, as I was a big fan of Faith Hill, Garth Brooks, Rascal Flatts, Dixie Chicks, Shania Twain, Sheryl Crow, Martina McBride etc., but listening to Scotty made me kind of hate country. Scotty for me sounds and reminds me of the country back in the 50's or 60's or something, like old black and white western movies, where everything is over dramatized and just drawls on and oh so slow and boring. I don't know, listening to Scotty makes me slam my hands to my ears and just pray and hope for it to be over. Sorry but his voice really bores me to tears, almost literally. |

That all that I really had to say, I have no desire to continue this conversation on Scotty. Wasn't going to comment, but just responding to Tigerlily. And yay, at all of the Adam news today!! With TheAdvocate outtakes, his club pictures last night, and Nile Rogers pics in the studio. I'm almost alright with the non mention of his new single. Maybe it'll be here next week. #delusionallykeepinghopealive  |

I'm ecstatic for Adam! He's living his dream which means making the music he loves AND being famous. He is not a fame whore, but I recall an interview while he was still on Idol. The reporter asked why they were on Idol... Gokes and KA both answered with some bullshit about how they weren't in it to be famous... Adam chimed in and forthrightly declared HE wanted to be famous-- that was why he was on Idol! I don't think fame is everything to Adam. But fame is exactly what he needed and wanted in order to live his dream life and have the kinds of opportunities he has today. Adam is an entertainer. Of course he wanted--wants-- fame. Does anyone else remember this article? Absolutely! One of the best articles from that time, and it gave SO much insight into the mindset of Adam, Kris, and Danny, and how each of them approached the show. Adam comes across as unapologetic and 1000% laser-focused on his goals. I think this is the quote you refer to, but the rest of article is well worth a read if anyone hasn't already: Gokey admits that being home makes him want to win for the hometown folks. "I did wonder, 'Why do they want me?' But I just want to give love back. I'm not here for the attention."
"I am!" Lambert cuts in. The line cracks the others up, but he's not joking.
"Look," says Lambert, "I didn't really come here to win as much as I came to get exposure and build my career. It's about what the show gives us."
Gokey listens, then says, "I think it's about leaving a mark in people's hearts."
Lambert takes it in, but continues. "I have treated the whole show as a set list, really. To show all my angles. So if I do an album, it'll be a reflection of what I did on the show." Link: www.usatoday.com/life/television/news/2009-05-12-idol-peek_n.htmHis strategic approach and vision for his own future and balls-to-the-wall attitude never fails to make me UNF! |
