When I see Adam adorned with rhinestones and in full make-up as of his latest Instagram post - not sure the occasion, but I guess it was for a private event and he felt the need to share the look - I come to realize that he probably suppressed himself for a long time. The make up came back for Velvet and stayed on for High Drama, along with his love for platform boots (though I am aware that he adjusts a bit for various appearances). I keep asking myself if he ever gets tired of all this at age 42 haha, but I don’t think he ever will as I think it’s in his DNA. I got on board of this crazy train because of his voice but that for me is just a tiny and easily forgettable part of Adam’s “persona” at this point. I have always preferred the “less is more” aka “sanitized” Adam and that’s one of the reasons why the TOH era has been my favorite so far. Currently it’s definitely not about what I fell in love with and I have a hard time re-establishing for myself Adam’s musical identity. I respect his artistic needs and choices but I am confused and a bit disappointed at the same time, though in general I do enjoy electronic music. Lots of rambling.. sorry. I definitely get your rambling! Feeling a bit the same way. I think another reason that I've followed Adam all these years is that he has opened my world to lots of things that I would never known about. It has been a very interesting ride and kind of keeps me youngish. Also I have met some really nice people in the Glambert community thanks to Adam.  , thanks for hearing me out with my rambling and letting me know that I am not completely "off" lol. I realize that Adam is doing nothing wrong, he is just being himself. I also read your response on a previous thread and I wish this site would allow us to "like" or "heart" a comment. I appreciate you reminding me/us of all the goodies this fandom brings and I remember one particular educational experience now.. I had never heard of the term "drag queen" until Adam brought it up way back then on Idol. I think he was asked where he found his outfit for the Bowie/finale song and he said that he borrowed it from a local drag queen haha. |

I know some people aren't thrilled with Adam's new era. I have to say, I just love Adam. His voice is amazing, yes. And, IMO, unparalleled. He performs, he puts on a show, he loves his makeup and clothes. Again, IMO, he always loved the makeup but being the theatre kid and having to learn to apply his own probably is part of his whole preparation. Some artists meditate, Adam does makeup. And, he finds it fun. But, beyond all of that, look at the person he is. He is truly an icon. None of us know him personally, but, all that work with him sing is praises. I don't believe it is just PR because they don't have to comment at all. He puts his money where his mouth is. He stands up for what he believes in. He educates, I have learned many things I did not know. He is an intelligent, thoughtful conversationalist and brings much to the table. I don't need to love all of his music. As a matter of fact, I don't. But surprisingly, I am really liking the EDM stuff. But, I will always be a fan and a follower. Looks like he is bringing back Glamnation (LOL).
