FELLOW FINNS, do not forget this ylex.yle.fi/radio/ohjelmat/uuden-musiikin-iltavuoro/perjantaitoiveboxi (on air at 17.00-20.00). Please PM me if you can listen to NRJ (top10 at 18-)or YleX. I cannot have them both on at the same time together with 'a thing' I have to do on a website. I am very interested in hearing how we do succeed with our wishes (many of these programmes do not even post their playlists). Thank you! |

Thanks ladies, Sauli seems to be having such a great time in LA. It's nice to see he made his own life and does not depend on Adam all the time. He is very independent.

There were reportedly 1500 complaints to ABC regarding Adam's performance on the AMAs in 2009. Well, at this time, the little "review" in EW online has garnered 1229 comments, almost all of them protesting the insulting "gay" comments. That is only the online comments, not the emails or letters to the editor. Yet, I have seen no reporting of this article and the furor it has caused. And no response from EW. I don't necessarily want this to get huge press coverage. Best to just express our opinions and let it go. But, part of me is irked by this double standard. If you know what I mean. MTE. Especially considering the ratio: 1500 complaints to ABC out of millions who watched the show, as opposed to 1229 comments ( complaints) out of how many exactly who read the review? I think that can't be much larger number than the number of comments. I'm sorry for going back there again. Her repulsive gay 'jokes' upset me. I sent EW a complaint , and that's it. On a more personal level, I was sickened by her ridicule of those beautiful, confessional songs. I felt like she poured a bucket of cold water on my head. She took something very precious to me and threw it into the mud. I haven't complained about that, though. It's her taste, her opinion. But, I truly think she was being mean. Her opinion aside, she had to realize how personal, frank and confessional those songs are, and being such, they leave the artist very vulnerable and open. And she took advantage of that and treaded all over them. I'm still hung up on that stupid review. But these very songs are helping me overcome it. I've been so under their spell these days. Aleksandra, Ive come to the view that despite our fundamental unity, there are many different creatures among human beings. Often we hang with our own crowd who are similar to us and forget that. But being a supporter of Adam on occasion brings me face to face with haters who are coming from a very different place from me. The reason why I tell you this is because this premise it helps me not be affected by their view point. I try to keep a strong enough energy boundary between me and them (unless they are my boss - that was hard!) and don't let their toxic views in. (Yesterday, though I really got personal with that reviewer so i lost the boundary.) Those confessional songs are so amazing that her ridicule of them told me we were poles apart right there. No need to even give her the benefit of the doubt on this one. It doesnt mean we wouldnt find our common humanity if we were both caught in the deathstar garbage compactor, but in the meantime, I'm keeping my gaze as much as possible on the people who I resonate with! That said, it sucks that she has the semi-influential vehicle of EW compared to just being a nasty person on twitter. |

I thought last nights interview was great! You are right he did get set up to cover important issues, including talking about his album/videos. It was a big contrast to his previous interview with her. Just compare the introductions. First one: the gayest thing from American Idol...this one: he has sold 2 million albums and his next one is.... He was far more mature and in control this time. Last time he got a few words in between her gay jokes and this time she got a few gay jokes (and others!) in between his talking. His responses and control of the conversation were perfect. Guess he's got A LOT of experience steering the conversations back on course. A sound bite in the middle, relative to our recent conversations was: Yes I was the gay guy from American Idol but I am also the the human guy that sings,. And for the record: Only AFL can make an outfit like that work. I thought he looked perfect. I agree with everything you said here, kay. I loved this interview! The first interview was awkward and uncomfortable but this was perfect. Adam was so relaxed and happy. He oozes charm. And yes, he even made that hideous shirt look great. He truly is magical ;D! Re: EW yesterday, someone mentioned they got a response to their email along the lines that they would forward it and look into it. Did anyone else get a response? I sent a polite email detailing the reasons why I could no longer support them and cancelled my subscription but I've heard nothing. Their continuing silence is making it hard for me to let this go. Maybe next week's issue will address it. I agree with both you lovely gals  Even in that first interview , I thought he handled it great, considering the questions and the gay staff member attrocity. And now, he's more gorgeous, more skillful , more everything... He's upping his game, getting better and better on a daily basis... Is it because of love or success or family...? Those have contributed for sure, but I think it's all him. He's made of so high-quality, upgradable material that I'm , apart from enjoying every minute of stanning him, also looking forward to his future transformations. Adam is the finest specimen of the 'human guy'. |

You're not mean lol, it was the first thought that I posted here when I first heard Runnin and I actually screamed!! BUT after thinking about it, Runnin leans towards to a very rockish Adam and I think it would not be a good transition from FYE to a more pop album that Adam clearly wanted to present . These are my poor thoughts anyway. Idk, probably it will take me some time to deal with the fact that such a wonderful song won't be a single :-/ I'm not saying that BTIKM and NCOE are bad, just think that Runnin overcomes them at various levels - the rhytm and his vocal range there are totally outstanding and it's completely different from what I heard from Adam until now, that's why all that sorrow  You know Adam doesn't choose the single. But even if he did, I think he would have chosen something very Pop & dancey, like Cuckoo! |

I do strive to be, though. I couldn't even think straight yesterday. Somehow I managed to squeeze out a couple of stupid questions for that Billboard thing, only because he asked us. But that's it. I did watch the Making of Trespassing Video and that felt good. Comforting. |
