I'd call that hysterical, not OT! Covers two of Adam's points of minority. And as a Christmas celebrator myself, I am pretty sick of those that think Christmas is so repressed. Good god, are they deaf, dumb and blind!!! Went to my kid's recorder club concert at (public) school last night--not a dreidel song to be heard....sad. Wow, Alison. That's just plain sick. I don't want to start a political conversation, but have Republicans always been so openly pro-Christian. I've only paid attention to the politics and how someone says they would run our country (even though few promises are kept). Anyone who has followed politics for a while - PM me please. I'm really curious and don't remember these types of adds being the norm. Regarding the Christmas is repressed issue. I'm an athiest, but love Christmas. It's more about Santa and Rudolph and the feel good idea of the whole thing for me. We happen to live in an Orthodox Jewish neighborhood. I decorate my house to the nines inside and out. As the Jews are walking by our house on Saturday mornings, a lot of them stop and tell me how they love our decorations. It doesn't offend them in the least. Our neighbor puts up a Sukkah every year. They invite us over. We go. Live and let live. There recently was a big to-do about a town where they decided to call their tree a Holiday Tree. It's a fucking Christmas tree people! Other religions don't put up trees. There was a town meeting to change the name back to Christmas tree and people of all religions showed up in support of that. A Jew was quoted in the paper as saying that they don't expect a menorah to be called Holiday Candles. IMO it's more about our society's ridiculous political correctness. They didn't change the name because anyone of other religions complained. It was done solely not to offend anyone. Ridiculous! Sorry for the OT rant. Back to not so patiently waiting for the single. Haha!! ITA, although as Murly said, I think a name is just a name. Christmas trees have nothing to do with Christianity, they originated with Paganism and were adopted, like so many things, from various other religions/traditions. I'm not religious, but also love the holidays. But I love everyone's holidays and understanding the proper greetings and how they're celebrated. I soooo don't get the divisiveness of "you're celebrations are different than my celebrations." Who cares?! Live and learn and take in a different culture. Look how many people who aren't Catholic flock to Mardi Gras and Carnivale every year? (Okay, there may be other reasons for that ;D) And truth be told, I don't see myself planning a vacation to visit a country during a holiday where fasting is involved  So sad that there was no dreidel song :-/ I remember it so fondly from my childhood. Rick Perry, STFU, you hateful, hateful man and if you think The Children aren't allowed to celebrate Christmas, you're out of your everlovin' mind. |

So I went googling for a mid-tempo dance song and came up with this.

They didn't change the name because anyone of other religions complained. It was done solely not to offend anyone. Ridiculous! I'm an atheist, too, and for awhile I wondered if I shouldn't train myself to call the holiday something other than "Christmas." Winterfest? Festivus? Saturnalia? (That's the ancient Roman holiday from which Christians took many of their Christmas traditions.) Then I realized--my Christian neighbors don't believe in Thor, but when the fifth day of the week rolls around, they still call it Thursday. A name is just a collection of letters and sounds. Christmas it is. Hey, are there any Husbands fans here?

Once a day for Must-Follow Musician on Social Media:
mashable.com/follow/contests/mashable-awards-2011/ re "suppressed Christmas": Like with any other subject I can't understand why people have a need to tell others what to celebrate and how to call it. IMO do what ever turns you on ;D In my Jewish-by-blood not religious home - the Xmas tree is called a "New Year tree". I love having it, the decorating and most of all the smell! ( I would never ever go for an artificial one...) Santa used to come too - that did happen on Xmas, and he did have milk and cookies and Rudolgh had some carrots....this lasted as long as the kids were ready to pretend that they believed in Santa;D ;D ;D (ya, between the Hannuka, the XMas and the New Year gifts they've made out really well...) The Japanese pictures are KILLER ones! |

www.ourstage.com/blog/2011/12/9/sound-vision-hard-times-for-tv-launched-pop-stars-can-adam-lambert-save-them-allSound & Vision: Hard Times for TV-Launched Pop Stars — Can Adam Lambert Save Them All? There's quite a bit before they get to Adam ... Perhaps it’s a matter of image or rather, a lack of it. In this age of Lady Gaga and LMFAO, it’s all about flashy personas and expensive beats. Unless your name is Adele, it’s harder to get by primarily on a great voice, which is what the bulk of these singers try to do and why Adam Lambert, who has a flamboyant stage presence to match his vocal power, might not have anything to worry about when he returns next spring with Trespassing, his second album.
Maybe a lack of mystique is also to blame. It’s easier for fans to look up to Rihanna and Katy Perry as rare deities when the early chapters of their rise happened offscreen. Watching a singer from a TV star search trying to make it after the finale is like watching a sitcom star trying to transition into movies. Often it’s easier to accept them in the medium in which we were first introduced to them. Why pay money for them when we used to get them for free?
With Idol entering its eleventh season in January, the novelty of watching a star being born may simply be wearing off. It still makes for great television, but after watching contestants singing other people’s songs for weeks, it’s harder to invest in them singing original music. It’s like when the Glee kids started performing non-covers that nobody had ever heard. In the eyes and ears of the downloading public, “Loser Like Me” will never be “Don’t Stop Believin’.”
Of course, all it takes is one complete package to turn everything around. For the most part, the stars of Idol and its offshoots arrive on the scene selling talent, not a highly marketable image, which, unfortunately, is 75 % of the pop-star formula. A performer as talented, dynamic and attention-grabbing as Adam Lambert could reverse the downward trend—at least for one album cycle.
