Kelly and Ryan walked out to the stage to “SuperPower”! (Sounded great!) (Kelly sounds like she has a cold 😷.)

"Sam Smith showing that sexuality is no longer the barrier to success it used to be." Sam enjoys a lot of mainstream success because they have never made it all about his sexuality. His talent was allowed to take center stage and shine. Even lately when he tries to get more attention for his sexuality, hardly anyone seems to care of dwell on it. Adam can give long and great interviews, but once his sexuality is mentioned that will grab the headlines and will be almost the only interesting thing they seem to want anyone to take from it. He is a great and needed role model but he is also a fantastic artist. I really hope radio will give him some of the attention he deserves for his talent. Velvet is wonderful and hopefully it will get a chance to be heard by many. I don’t agree with that statement about Sam in that article. Sam didn’t come out until after the success of his first album. When the public recognized, that he was gay, he was already an established artist. And still one, who wasn’t displaying his queerness. So many casual listeners still didn’t know he was gay. Sam has become much more open and outspoken by now, but it’s by far not the same as Adam, who has been open and visibly queer from the start. Had Sam been like that, his career would have looked different today, IMO. Yep. And even when Sam became more open with his sexuality, that fact does not take over his interviews and everything else. Adam just gave that long and nice interview but look what the headline reads. And all the press is leading with that. So unless you decide to read the whole articles (which a lot of people won't) you will think it is just another article about being gay. And as happy as I am for the success of Lil Nas, I doubt it would have happened that way if he came out in the beginning.

OT sort of, but I recently saw an article about Sam now preferring to use the pronoun “they.”
On topic, glad Adam is feeling better today! Must have been the 24-hour bug. Never fun!
