katycake Thanks for bringing the Billboard list over! And I'm voting in the Little Caesars Arena poll. That's where I saw QAL last summer! I think they'll win!

That was a brilliant speech...and a great refresher to view it again. Thanks for posting pi. So many youtubes, speeches, performances...my golly it does take a village to bring up the past youtubes, pictures or memories. He has grown and matured, but, just like looking at the family albums...man, was he ever, youthfully handsome that night!

I enjoy hearing Adam’s wonderful laughter during that podcast. What a joy he is. My fave Idol song was definitely “Ring of Fire.”

That strut down the stairs 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥 AND that white silky suit with the black shirt was gorgeous!!!!!!!! His suits were beautiful on Idol! He was stunning in that one in particular! I really liked it too. Was it my favorite Adam performance? No. Rock night, Ring of Fire and a few others did it more for me. But this was a specific theme night and he nailed it. He looked gorgeous and the performance was great.

I don’t know when I’ll have a chance to check out the podcast, but I look forward to it! As for eating, I’m a lefty and have always kept the fork in my left hand and used the knife with my right. I never could understand why people would do the switcheroo thing. Are they afraid they’ll lose control of the knife if it isn’t in their dominant hand? Lol. But I don’t get the business of smushing the food onto the back of the fork.

I don't believe that Adam was ever in the bottom 2. I remember following a site called Zaba search who did Idol predictions at the time. If I recall correctly, they were pretty accurate. Anyway, I remember them putting out a statement that according to their stats, they didn't believe Adam was in the bottom 2. I remember reading comments on there and 99% of them were flailing over Adam. It's like he was a rock star. I also do believe in "text gate" despite AI coming back and saying everything was fair. I don't think a state of less than 3 million in 2009 could generate 38 million votes unless there was power texting. Adam was in the bottom 2 along with Matt Giraud. Yes, I know but I don't believe votes wise he was. I think it was manufactured. Remember at the time, Adam was water cooler talk. People were talking about it at work. People were talking about him on TV. He was on a magazine cover. Eber said it was like he was a Beatle. During the Idol concerts, people were screaming any time his picture showed up. People waited at the barricades for hours and were screaming when he came out to sign autographs. They were chanting his name and ignored everyone else. I know because I was one of those people and I attended 4-5 of those concerts. And after Idol, during his first tour, people were sleeping on the streets to get into his shows. Has there been ANY idol who got this much attention, ever? So no, I don't believe after one performance, which was actually very good, that all of a sudden people were disappointed and stopped voting for him. Also, he wasn't in a season where there was a lot of exceptional talent.

Enjoyed the podcast and the table manners talk! Adam is so naturally funny and relaxed and friendly. He can make any conversation fun. I love his little stories from his childhood. He always throws in little tidbits and details that we haven't heard before. He's a natural-storyteller. I can see him as a talk show host someday. Sure wish those late night guys would have him on for a sit-down. He's a great guest!
Love that snip of Don't Stop Me Now. Sure would make me feel better if I was in the hospital. Lovely voice, lovely face, lovely song.
