No, no and no! I hate that everybody is willing to forget and forgive ABC their reaction and their caving-in to 1,500 complaints. Had the complaints been about, say, an interracial kiss, would they have been so quick to cave in? They should be held accountable for their cowardly and anti-gay actions, and not let loose so easily. They're minimizing it, sure, it's their interest not to put the spotlight on how wrong they were, but why should everybody else agree to minimize it as well? Speaking only for myself, I am definitely not forgiving, forgetting, or minimizing what happened. I think the whole thing was a ridiculous tempest in a teapot and exposed a lot of hypocrisy and homophobia in U.S. culture and society. However, I think Adam's presence at the AMAs (and the producer's statement) indicates that Adam's career is bigger than the ~scandal, and they have moved on. As they should. And therefore I take this as a hugely positive sign that TPTB see Adam as someone with both staying power and future potential as a star. Yay for that! Yes, yes and yes! Now I agree with every word  |

I thought that new interview clip with Brian, Roger and Adam would be on pg. one today, but it isn't. Does anyone have the link to that?

I am feeling so happy for Adam this morning. This AMA appearance and the positive PR spin from Klein and others is big and speaks volumes. Doors that some previously shut in his face are opening again, and that seems to be the trend going into Adam 2. I'm flailing for him, really. I am also feeling inspired and a bit choked up this morning thinking of all Adam has been through since the AMAs. His resiliency and determination are an example to me of courage and hope and the will to keep on " fighting to the end. " I feel so proud to be his fan; I am glad that I follow him to the extent that I do so that I am aware of this man and his story. There are so many life lessons to be learned from it. Through it all, Adam continues to be true to himself, his out and proud ,grace under fire, blinders up, eyes on the prize fiercely talented I'm in love glowing self, the self that makes me love him more than is probably ~reasonable. I'm feeling a shift in the Adam air... doors are opening, and I can't wait for him to step through them and into Adam 2. I have only one thing to say, lynne--  Emailing your post to a good friend and Adam fan now! |

Canadian lurker here. I am on the map but in the wrong spot. My flag is in the middle of Saskatchewan. I actually live in Guelph, Ontario, not too far from Toronto. Just wanted to say I love the title Trespassing. Can't wait to hear the album and I'm also excited to see Adam on the AMA's tomorrow. OK, back to lurking. Hi -- I've been to Guelph! There's a good vet school there, right? I've also been to a few dog shows up your way. I have friends in Cambridge whom I see quite often. Can't wait to get back up there -- Capt Bob's on the river for fish and chips. Yum. |

I think Adam has moved on from the AMAs, in fact I think he had moved on by the next week or so after that performance. He says he understood why they reacted the way they did, even if he didn't agree with their reactions. So to me, that says the fans should be able to move on too.
Why be outraged on adam's behalf when he's not outraged himself?
I'm glad to see the public support of Adam by the producer of the AMAs and if it's a bit of revisionist history so what? People have very short memories and the story can be re-written and turned into a positive for Adam going into the next album era.....unless people insist on "reminding" everyone that it was really ugly and unflattering to Adam and that's counter-productive IMO to helping Adam.
JMO.
