Another random thought about Adam at the rock festival. Imagine you are a hard core rock fan. You hear that this "pretty boy" pop star from a reality TV show is going to appear. What do you think? 1. Not a real performer. Created by TV, with no cred, never paid his dues. 2. The guy wears make-up, is gay, girls fawn over him. Oh, lord it's gonna be another teeny-bopper fan fest. :
:
3. What an insult to REAL rock fans. Sell-out by the promoters to get attention. This guy is everything I hate about pop music. Not gonna even listen.
Then, Adam and band walk on stage. First impression? These guys look ... well, they look like rocker dudes. Huh? Then, they start to play and Adam starts to sing. Kinda sounds like rock. The guitarist does some decent shredding, and .. damn, this guy can SING. The fan girls screaming is still :
but, this guy isn't half bad! Wait, what was that high, wailing note????
They are doing T-Rex? Really??? And they are rocking it! This guy has some pipes! He is from a reality TV show? No way!
Don't know a lot of English, but this guy just said "fuck" onstage! And chugged a cup of vodka. Then did a wicked high improv wail. Dude!!
They are playing Whole Lotta Love? That takes balls! Great guitar! This guy can FUCKIN' SING HIS FACE OFF.
I'm still too cool to maybe buy this guy's pop record, but, props to him. He can rock. Legit. Now, let's get a beer.

If that is the reception he got at a rock festival, I think that is nothing short of fantastic.
