Having read the comments that is exactly what they meant. On a publication with large gay readership is actually DOES matter because it is RELEVANT to the gay community. I do not understand why you find that so hard to understand. It is not that this is so hard to understand, it is the mixed messages we get regarding what is wanted, in this respect. I lived in an area close to the largest first nations reserve in North America. There was...and still is...a massive amount of passive racism towards this community and it impacts their lives at every point. To build community with their youth, and bridges to the non-aboriginal community, the First Nations [predominantly Blackfoot] used to hold open public-invited pow-wow's. They invited us all to dance with them. In a private conversation with a friend of that group, I was informed that in fact, many of the native dancers ridiculed our awkward participation and really only took part in them for the laughs later. Needless to say, I never participated in another pow-wow! I see this criticism as an indicator of some of that same sentiment...just different details. When we try so hard to do what is the best for Adam and his friends...and then get criticized [dare I suspect ridiculed] for it, we are left hurt and unsure what we should do at all. Should we just 'mind our own business' and never comment if we suspect the readership may be predominantly gay? Should we stop complaining when journalists keep on defining Adam as 'the gay' singer? I don't think the commentators are saying 'it doesn't matter' so much as 'it shouldn't matter' and the only way we know to show this is to not let 'it matter' to us. To focus on the music. ..which this particular writer completely dissed as froth. Trust me....any other writer of any other blog or paper would have been drowned in defensive commentary for that uninformed music commentary. seriously.... I think this is a great discussion to have, and here is a great place to have it. I think many of us feel like we are 'damned if we do and damned if we don't'. As Adam said: Whataya want from me?

I'm going to cry my eyes out when Adam performs Underneath live. What an incredibly vulnerable song, he's very brave to include it.

I need some super bionic ninja ears. On Runnin, at about 1:20, when he sings "The higher, the lower, the down, down, down." I THINK I hear an echo of the melody line an octave lower. Do you hear it? And if it is really there, is it Adam? Is it Adam's voice manipulated down the octave? Or, WTF, does he really sing a Frickin' D2???
Kanadie? Holst? nationalglampoon? Anybody?
(For non-music geeks, that would be one of the lowest notes a BASS voice sings! And make his recorded range something just two tones short of four octaves. WTF?)

I heard that too, Cassie, and my first thought was "I'll be damned, I think Adam just allowed autotune to line that up"....
