Did they interview Adam in Montreal? I saw part of the ustream with the BTS guy speaking french & I saw the video of the crowd signing NCOE, but did they actually talk to him? Anybody got a link to an interview? Or maybe it doesn't exist? ??? I pulled this from the thread. Have you seen this? Ustream recorded interview of Adam on Musique Plus www.ustream.tv/recorded/22963175 ! Starts at about 28 minutes |

Been so busy lately, but I just want to say that I think the MV for NCOE, and watching Adam on it, is making NCOE grow on me. My husband is away on a short job in a different state and went to dinner at the home of his best high school/college buddy who lives where he is shooting. Guess what was playing? Trespassing! Apparently, his friend's wife is a big fan and bought the album the first week. The dinner guests all agreed it was a really great album, men and women. My husband says he can't get the songs from Trespassing out of his head, and he has only listened to the album a few times. I just keep feeling so proud of Adam! This album he has made is really that good.  |

I am so touched by theogma and momtomany's posts. It is so nice to have others so eloquently write what is in my heart.
Wanting so badly for Adam to get his just desserts is frustrating and we all have our dark hours, I imagine. In the attempt to hold off the darkness some like to forget that it exists whenever possible. But don't feel bad for the way you feel, or for expressing it. This is a great site to help us, not just celebrate the wins, but also the injustices.
Tonight, I am loving this community and all that Adam gives us!

This seems as good a time as any to post a fun little picture: This is my "haul" so far for Trespassing. Getting ready to send out gifts now so many will go bye bye. Fly little CDs, be free!!  The photo does not include 2 CDs I gifted to the out youth and an Amazon gift copy of the download. ;D |

Thanks for the responses. I find it hard to express my feelings at those times when they are not as positive as usual as it seems, unless I'm misunderstanding, that some don't really like those kinds of comments. Some days are just hard and the media crap or numbers get to me. I'm just looking for support. I do love and appreciate the positive feedback, attempts to cheer me up, and reminders of what's important. I love Adam so much and my belief in him does not waver. But, I'm human and get scared sometimes. I also feel some push back on expressing these feelings, which is a little hard when I'm feeling bad. I don't do this often and will have to think before I post next time.
Again, thanks for the dialogue. Oh. You think. So do I. All of us. Look at the conversation, the communication you began. I cannot begin to explain how I dream, live, worry, expect, foresee, angst, exclaim, cry, cringe . . . and then he takes the stage . . . and I go fucking nuts and dance till I'm left only to gasp. Here I am - at the computer - instead of in front of the TV or sewing machine - the way it used to be. Things are very different since I heard his voice. I worry about many things, just like you. But, the ONE thing I don't worry about is Adam's success. It may not be coming in the way I might imagine, but it will come, because excellence will not be denied. And Adam is not just 'excellent'. Back when I used to sing, I performed and if I was really 'excellent' I was elevated to 'command performance' status. I learned that there is always a 'bar' for beyond. Adam is creating a new 'bar'; I really feel his excellence is restructuring not only our societal barriers but our long-standing musical barriers and judgements, as well. Boy - isn't it about time? momtomany: I totally agree with this post and your earlier one. It is getting late in the thread and so soon a new one will start but wanted to say - well written. One other thing standing out in my mind: I think it was in an interview yesterday? (can't keep up), anyway he said something like when I'm not peacocking........ then about being more real.... It HIT ME: This is why (IMHO) Adam has so many females flocking around him and would be so whether he was gay or straight if he looked the same as he has been since many of us starting noticing him. He IS a peacock! As in male birds are generally much more beautiful then the female, many animals the same (lions for example) and then tribes where the male adorns jewelery and displays dance... In that kingdom the male is on display and the female reacts to this. So next time some dude asks why does Adam have so many females that flock to him or are fans I will just say because he is the Peacock, LOL! OT, BTW I actually had a male Peacock as a pet for awhile. Got him at a farmers action. Built a house for him and started to let him loose after a while thinking he would stay in the area since he knew where the food was. Well, one evening he left never to return. Last comment: they are LOUD, so unless you have a really large acreage the neighbors won't be happy:-) |

Yes, my life changed too when I heard his voice. Not sure I was even aware at the time and didn't know what was to come. I'm invested in his welfare as if he's a part of me. So, sometimes I feel too much (my barriers are down). I often think "what would Adam do?" or "what would Adam think?" and it gives me strength. Don't know why some days I'm weaker than others. Work, life, sleep...I actually teared up earlier today when I read some negative shit about Adam and was angry at myself for reacting that way. I'll snap back. Always do. |

[wanders in yawning, wearing a grass skirt, and carrying the lolly bucket] [starts handing out karmic cream lollies] [shakes bucket until a batch of lemoncello-n-kalula swirl lollies appear as well] It totally ok to have angst and doubts. [grins] Tho' most numbers angsting should really go on the Numbers thread. There's a much higher level of venting there then what's usually encouraged on the main theads. The main News thread generally aims to be a bit more "glittery and golden", particularly when there truly is so much wonderful stuff happening. Baby steps. [laughs] Although this baby is definitely starting to run ;D. With some work, the rest of the barriers will fall away too.  [wistles as wanders back to other thread, carrying sharpened lolly] |
