Wow! Just finally caught up after reading the old thread, now yesterday's thread. Bottom line for me- I LOVE Adam! Ironically, with all Adam's light/dark speak, when I'm feeling dark-ish, he is a great light switch. His music, his performances, his interviews all endlessly entertain and sustain me. Numbers, spins, sales make my head spin. Just give me that music he talks about in the Lindsay Parker interview! Did you hear him talk about it?????!!!!!!!! And about performing it live????!!!!! I can't wait. I love the explanation of Adam as trespasser in that interview, crashing the scene. I love the "watch me go there" and his f**k you attitude to those who don't want to invite him in. I love his crazy and the way he owns it. Remember when Simon was patronizingly dismissive of Adam when he said he went on AI because he wanted to take songs and change them up and surprise people? Remember how he looked Simon right in they eye and asserted, "I can." And he did. He can again. And he will. I will be listening. And I won't be the least bit surprised when he surprises me.  |

Gabby - I loved that bit of the interview too! Found myself hitting the repeat button more than once. He was so enthusiastic and went into super fan mode talking about Sauli. :-)
It's so cool seeing him full of excitement as he talks about Trespassing and all the songs on it! He's so proud of the album. Can't wait till March!

Zinnia and mia... thank you so much for the latest Tutka! (coming out of the closet! LOL) I was so disappointed that the battery ran out at the end, because it was getting interesting when Sauli started talking about language difficulties, " Because here you can say things in such a different way from how you can say them in Finland. And let’s say, like, that every time you translate something even directly from someone’s English to Finnish, it doesn’t… it means something else and not, not… I don’t know. I was just thinking that here in the States the spoken language is different from…adamtopia.com/index.cgi?board=sauli&action=display&thread=630It reminded of the Broken English song that Adam talked about!

IMHO,Adam is the Jackie Robinson of the music industry at this point. As Adam said there aren't many gay folks in music right now. He is alone ,during a huge push back against LGBT civil rights. Adam explained that movies and TV are a bit better now for gay performers but music, not so much.He doesn't even have great support from his own team. His fans are his supporters and whether we want to admit it or not, when he said if it were't for us he wouldn't be making this second album, He meant it. He is telling us what is happening,are we listening? Is it too painful for us to see the up hill battle Adam has to be an artist in this country?I know ,I thought it would be easier to get Adam on air this time,but I believe it may even be harder. Is it no wonder that Adam feels so thankful to AI and to RCA. They have backed him ,when others ignored his unimaginable talent. Look at the candidates running for president,listen to how Rick Santorum wants to reverse all gay rights,reverse all rights women have won, and take the vote away from the blacks.Our country is in a war of ideals.I see it here in North Carolina. A vote this May to have a state constitutional amendment outlawing gay marriage and equal rights.A local mayor who fights against equality for her LGBT government employees,because her church forbids it. Adam sings of love for all he sings of the universal feelings we all share ,unfortunately,half the nation isn't buying it.
Someday when there is actual equality in America ,I hope Adam receives all the recognition he deserves. He only wanted to be a singer,but he is 'Trespassing' and some may want to stop his music.
