5.1.12 Music Video shoot today

Yup, you hit the nail on the head IMO.

and maybe it's just the way I'm reading it, and time to drop it, but seriously i see lots of wild misinterpretations of Tigerlily's posts. I don't think she is saying or implying half of what people think she is and are are getting 'strong feelings' about.

And because I can't speak for Tigerlily of course, I was thinking that Cassie's original post yesterday hit me as a little over the top in wording as well, because it seemed to be glossing over the music director's contribution, but proboards locked me out so...

Also I appreciate gracefulforadam's post.

Back to Mahailia's comment's about posting. I'm fairly new here, so don't jump in very often, but I did post a few comments about my reactions and feelings about the Kimmel event last week. At the time the only person who acknowledged my post was Reihmer - thank you, I appreciated that.

I felt my reactions were a little different than others that were posting. For example, I was really taken with "Broken English" - I thought it was sublime. Also I gave a shout-out to the two back-up singers and felt they added greatly to the whole performance.

Now several threads later, I'm finding that a few others have singled out "Broken English" as well - and even more importantly, I've been following the discussion on his backup singers. I found that in the Kimmel live performance, they added such richness, fullness and depth. I'm very glad they're with Adam's ensemble.

ame. Please don't leave. The last time someone on Atop bit my head off for no good reason, I went outside with my lunch bag and broke down in tears. Being misunderstood is seriously painful for an introverted person. I considered just quietly deleting my account and walking away, closing the door behind me and never looking back.

Then I thought about all the fun, great people I would miss -- people I would name except I don't want to miss one -- and decided not to let my fun be ruined, and I came back on and posted as much or more than ever.

As JFK said, Fuck 'em if they can't take a joke.

My two cents about the backup singers and the inexplicable debate about it. Leadership is critical to the success of any organization. I work in a research library. We had extremely successful projects for years considering our size and funding. I was proud to work here because we had such great, dedicated, talented and amazing people who cared passionately about the cause here. Once for reasons too tedious to explain the bosses were all gone for a month. Things ran as well or better than ever and we got tons done. We were so motivated!

Then our old boss retired and we got a new boss. Now we can't do anything right. Our projects are poorly conceived failures, the staff is demotivated and at each other's throats, and it's hell to work here. Even our small wins feel like defeats.

The staff members have not changed. The leadership is what has changed.

It denigrates no one's talent to point out that having a driven leader who appreciates talent, empowers his talent to suggest ideas, and is intuitive about people will get great results. Adam is growing into that man and good for him, and good for us. My 2 cents.

I TA and furthermore...I would love to hear from someone re a comment I have made at least twice...maybe three times...so there! Am I the only one that compares the 'wailing' [not the best word but the one used] in BE to FS WLL rather than ROF?
