I have stopped reading them. Even the translations make absolutely no sense to me! ??? I stopped "cleaning up" those translations...mostly because the tone is so horrible that I can't stand repeating those words in English... the hell with them.. Adam will dominate the world in the end anyway :D It is difficult to read or hear disparaging statements about Adam, especially since he doesn't deserve them. However, I think it is a good reminder that even though some of those things may not be said here in America, there is a segment of the population that would like to say those things. Progress is being made, but political correctness oftentimes gives a false illusion about the amount of progress that has been made. It's ugly, but one must just soldier on. People can change. One thing that helps people to change is seeing a positive example like Adam. Continuos exposure to postive examples and role models eventually overcome previous prejudice. At least that has been my experience. |

Some very good pro photos of Adam at this site (although Nica probably wants to not read the text) dpolevoy.livejournal.com/324874.htmlReadon, I agree, although I completely respect Nica and anyone else who chooses not to read negative stuff. As Adam would say #forcefieldsup! I also think that maybe there is a fair amount of rock snobs' pushback against pop musicians factoring in. |

I love the reflection of the crowd in the sun glasses - this is what Adam saw in front of him... |

Nica --- thanks for the service you provide. As an interpreter by profession I empathize with how difficult it can be interpreting distressing, disturbing content. It is called "vicarious trauma", and it is a very real problem. You've done enuf, girl. Relax and pour yourself a glass of you favorite beverage, and look at the pretty.
For me, I'm gonna look at the glass half full.
1. Adam's Russian and Eastern European fans fianlly got their concert! Got to see and hear him in person.
2. Two years out from American Idol, the cheesiest music reality show, Adam is playing at a major rock festival in Russia. Tho' we all believed Adam could be an international star, I, for one, never anticipated he would reach that far that fast, and in that kind of venue.
3. Even if Adam was a rampant heterosexual, people going to a hard rock festival, especially guys, are gonna freak out at all the girls going crazy with balloons and paper hearts. Girls screaming and standing in line for autographs. Just so NOT COOL to the rockers. So, okay, they don't get it. But, ADAM WAS THERE. And most were surprised at his singing. It is a start. It's not his demographic, but he more than held his own.
4. If the climate in Russia is so homophobic it is remarkable that Adam got a positive reception. No protests. No heckling. No insults at the concert. No fights. No arrests. He stood loud and proud on that stage and killed it. Baby steps, folks, baby steps. We have seen over the past two years what a cumulative effect they can have. I believe it was important for Adam to be there, especially on that day.
5. Fans around the world got another live Adam performance! Our addiction has been fed. And the photos are stunning!
Russia was a WIN for Adam and his fans. I am proud of him and proud of them.

I gather they are discussing how Adam fits in the the fest and what the fans think? rabbitrabbit, some of those pics...  Calling Gelly! ;D gallery.ru/watch?ph=WaH-db0ES#feature=topclickDoes anyone know which song/video this picture comes from? It's the moment he smears his eye liner. Reminds me of RMT moment. And can I just say I bow down to this photographer Irena Volkova. Such a goldmine. |
