Wow! What a treasure trove we have here today... When I first started following AL, it was his voice that drew me in. I stayed because of his fans. When I was in Jackson Hole, WY, a hotelier of a luxury chain told me that he had a very difficult time getting rid of the aspen trees that were blocking the best views from his property. They tried everything, including burning the trees, but nothing worked. In fact, the trees seemed to come back faster and stronger. As it turned out, he learnt that these trees have an inter-locking root system that nurtures and sustains them during adversities. It's a root community, so to speak, that links, supports and rebuilds the needy. I have often pondered upon the community that Adam is able to build via his voice; be it of music or spoken (and unspoken) words. What I now learn is that the voice that echoes the most in me, most often, is that from his fans. Thank you. I'm going to remember that story about the aspen trees. What a beautiful metaphor! |

As much as I enjoyed watching the LA Adam and Alisan duet on youtube, I.do.not.want a duet on Thursday.
After watching the video posted by wal, I'd love to see a screen in the background with visuals matching the song's mood and the song lyrics prominently displayed. My wish.

Just a thought, but I think the talent booking at AI is VERY specific. You can't just bring a friend along. Alisan, as a professional singer, would need to be booked in her own right. I don't know if her ties to Adam and Randy would impede or facilitate this, but my gut says that wouldn't be so easy. Also, if that were the case, I think Adam, Alisan, Ely, Randy or Ferras would have tweeted something by now. And the focus should be on Adam, the song, the voice, the message. IMO, it would lose it's power if it was a duet. The average Idol watcher does not know about the Alisan/Adam connection or what Alisan's Aftermath was about. And to be crass and commercial about the whole situation...this AI appearance is, IMO, mainly a promotional opportunity for Adam himself, at least from the show's perspective. 19 loves him, and wants to showcase him whenever possible. The charity single and the upcoming DVD release both give 19 the excuse and the opportunity to do just that. I don't mean to downplay the importance of the charitable component, both to Adam and to the Trevor Project, but certainly from AI's POV, it's all about Adam. I can't begin to imagine Nigel & Co. wanting Adam to bring Alisan along for this particular ride. |

Thanks Cassie!  A little late to the party this morning (still on Page 1) but wanted to say: Hi Kapsiz! I'm in NoCal too ... PM me if it would help to get together ... or how about joining us in Santa Rosa for the DVD watch party on the 26th? |

I have an idea -- I can integrate a Wordpress blog with the forum and post the best articles from ATop 1 and 2 -- and if anyone save some of the best from PF those too. If anyone is interested in being a publisher, let me know. I have one project ahead of it, but can do it next week. Thoughts? Volunteers? In the meantime, I will start a thread for people to post any old PF articles -- there were so many great ones there too. I'd be happy to help. It would be great if we could arrange by author and subject. For instance, I see many of yours and NoAngel's as a progression, so would love to read all of them in one place, like an anthology. Each of you with your own chronological thread. Then maybe we can have a general thread where – though you and NoAngel, Cassie and Skylar – are in an author thread, but can be linked to a "Read more on this subject," without interrupting the flow of your essays. Did Halfie email his to you? Or did he PM through PF? Any chance you still have those? Unfortunately, I do not have Halfie's old articles from PF -- or much else BUT hopefully someone was smarter than me! I have set up a section to collect info for two new projects: adamtopia.com/index.cgi?board=preadamtopia1. Adamtopia blog -- with articles from PF, ATop1 and ATop2 -- I have all of the ATop articles but almost nothing from Planet Fierce. If you saved anything, please post in that thread (link above). 2. Adam Wiki -- I am working of a comprehensive Adam wiki site. This is the best way to keep information about Adam as an online reference. Right now I am seeking biography info. Read more about it (and get a peak) here: adamtopia.com/index.cgi?board=preadamtopiaNote: It is a Beta Site --- meaning it is incomplete and rough around the edges.  |

I've no idea why, I'm just embracing it. That's why I love "behind the scenes" stuff. *am weird*  |

Adam is very lucky to have so many talented, professional friends in the business and to live in LA and have all these people at his disposal! |

Does anyone know if Adam completely resung the AFtermath song for the remix, or did they take his vocal from the original track and put different music to it? Still having a hard time imagining this song with a dance-mix beat/feel to it.
