Q3 i love your article about BTIKM as a box of chocolates!
For me, the song itself is a
better than ordinary popsong (and i consider most of gaga and perry for example, ordinary, so Im being tough here)
at the same time not a naturally great song. Thats OK. When Adam Lambert sings it, it changes every thing
some of the reviews put it in terms of his emotion, and yes I agree. Im gonna put it in a different way. For me, he basically conveys a World, through his "energy".
When he sings I go where he goes and its fuqqin beautiful, this World that he creates. His voice conveys it, his internal experience, his mindset, his evolvedness, his beauty.
Thats probably why i can listen and listen and listen.
Adam Lambert is a world creator and I love love love the world he creates.
I love that he sings "I get kinda dark. Let it go too far. I can be obnoxious sometimes. But try and see my heart".
I feel thats him being honest. revealing.
Thats part of being in his world. Forgiving people for their foibles when they are amazing like him.
I love the drums - the stutter and the echoing quality.
It gives the song more gravitas.
He has such perfect judgement between technical artistry and conveying emotion.
He is just that cut above, every other popstar out there (tho i respect some of the others for their talent etc)
