Does anyone know how this works? Is this some kind of voting? There is definitely voting involved, but as far as I've been able to figure out, Adam's division or whatever isn't up for votes just yet. There's a link to the article that explains the whole thing on page 1 in the headlines. |

I'M BAAAAAACK! I cannot tell you how much I missed all of you and this special place. And Adam, of course. There is no way I can catch up with five days of posts, but, according to tinafea yesterday, there was not much Adam news. Don't know if I am happy that I didn't miss it or sad that there is not a bunch of wonderfulness to come back to. So, is there anything I NEED to check out? A good starting place? Or just start at the end and work back? Hi -- Welcome back! Just start at the end and work back - that way you'll always find the things you want to look more closely at - I'm thinking I'm gonna join your music class here - I love your assessment of Adam's skills - but haven't always gone there! (thanks for always doing that, though!)  |

he put this collection together in less than two weeks? Wow...that's amazing... "...after you die you can be anything you want to be"... - NO COMMENT (to use RCA Ed's latest communique : ;D ) The article didn't say he put the collection together in two weeks, just that his grandmother died two weeks before. For all we know his family could have been preparing for her death for awhile. I'm not sure I understand what you're saying? That his quote was "shallow," in your opinion? I think I'd give him the benefit of the doubt. There are many who believe the soul is "liberated" after death. That could have been what he meant. no...not shallow...it is that I just have a hard time relating to stuff like this... to me it sounds pretentious at best and potentially harmful at worst... liberation through death? no way! If he wanted to devote this collection to his grandmother - that's wonderful and touching and inspiring... but not that stuff... as usually YMMV  I'd rather go with " after you die you can be anything you want to be". = Adam's message |

Please start with telling us your impression of BB's AI performance I am dying to hear your pro opinion! |

I'm sure as soon as it is, the link will be all over Twitter! |

LOVE THIS! Catching up and commenting on the great post by GeezLouise from yesterday: My take on the ‘fans’…. new or renewed, or whatever… that have stepped on the rollercoaster because of Adam’s understated look and performance on Idol.
ARE YOU SURE YOU ARE TALL ENOUGH TO RIDE THIS RIDE?
There is a chance you are going to get hurt, or fall off, or hurt someone else. You are going to shit your pants and want off. You are going to puke up your vanilla cone and your hot dog. It will be messy.
This isn’t a kiddie ride. [/size] Adam isn’t a Club Sandwich.
He is the newest creation on the menu.
He is the fusion dish that a Club Sandwich eater would never try.
He is a Korean BBQ Pulled Pork Taco with Wasabi Aioli.
And next week he may be something very different.
He is spicy… and you’re going to need a big ass bib and a huge glass of cold water to get it all down.
He is an ever changing menu and the biggest and fasted ride you’ve ever been on.
All in one man.Are you ready?"
GeezLouise, I'm really hoping some of these fans ARE.
Adam sings A Change is Gonna Come and perhaps for "on the fence" fans, the process has begun. They witnessed wild, sexy, openly gay Adam at the AMA's, in magazines and TV shows, yet still professed love and admiration for his Aftermath performance last week. Remember Kris Allen's non-judgemental comment about the AMA's, said with nonchalence "It was Just Adam being Adam". Maybe that's happening here and pearls are being clutched less tightly as understanding sinks in that GNAFL is a hugely talented diamond with so many brilliant facets. They don't have to like them all and are free to pick and choose. So while these fans may avert their eyes the next time lusty Adam dons his spiked codpiece for multiple pelvic thrusts, the shock may have diminished in the expectation that "their" boy (be in sweet Adam or wild rocker) will return at some point. A friend called after Idol to say how thrilled she was with AFL's performance and "toned down" look. She genuinely loves Adam's talent and is slowly but surely coming to terms with his diversity. She's not a bigot, just never been exposed to anything but vanilla before. So for my friend and others like her, may Adam's soul searing voice and megawatt smile open your eyes and heart fully to the beautiful, generous persona and magnificent rainbow of talent he brings to the world. The reward will be to feel like we do! [/quote] I love all of this! ;D |

Well, the bad news about that poll is that he has to beat Green Day, and then he comes up against U2 (they will surely beat Kesha). Doubt he can beat U2 (don't throw rocks)! :-/
