Good version and nice job!
I was listening to Adam's "Believe" last night and it almost made me cry. The beauty of his voice is extraordinary. I had to remind myself that he may not get as much attention or top the charts or win awards like many others, but most sure as hell can't do what he does. His emotion and vocal superiority may not be rewarded as it should on a wider scale. But I hope he continues to be recognized more for his talent than for makeup or antics or gimmicks. And his contribution to his community with his FS Foundation and advocacy should be celebrated as well. He is a great spokesperson and role model and the invites like Stonewall and LGBT youth events are proof of his contributions and influence.

Well, I didn't know that Alex was on Glee, so I plead ignorance on that one. And Jason Manford sounds like he's a big deal in the UK so he should be fun. Yes, Adam can hold his own with just about anybody. He's quick and witty. The judges sound like they're very popular with UK audiences, so that means big viewership for the show and exposure for Adam. And that's a very good thing!

I hope it's on for more than just one season lol. |

I read somewhere a few years ago that Adam went out with a well known actor that's gay that hasn't come out. Can't remember what publication it was. I'll try to find something. Adam made a comment in an interview that he’s been with some “publicly straight” actors that you would be surprised are actually gay. I can’t remember where the interview was either. |

My better part of my nature tells me to be happy for Alex getting that TV role. Adam has helped give so many others praise and even a boost, like Alex. It shouldn't have been that hard for him to give Adam a bit of public thanks. But I guess it was. Adam has been very free with his praise for others from the get-go. I always admired him for that. Alex was on Glee, so he wasn't exactly a total unknown to television. Also Alex is a totally different talent than Adam. I think it’s great Adam is a judge on a new talent show. If successful he’ll get much more exposure than on a tv series which can be very hard to sell. Also Adam has Queen which if all goes well, will require a lot of his time in 2022. |

It's a little late, but Zoe's Extraordinary Playlist is an amazing show. So well done. Alex Newell's part on that show does a lot for queer acceptance. The part is not a gay part but a real queer character, much like Alex himself. Not at all like Adam and I don't really think Adam would fit, he is way too masculine. Could Alex be a little more appreciative of Adam's influence, sure. However that is true of the majority of the LGBTQ community. So, I agree with you and as you say, there is Queen — no small gig. |
