I have a question for you all. Adam keeps saying the next album will be "more organic." I get that remark. But he also keeps saying it will be "less campy." This confuses me. The only thing campy, to me, on FYE was the cover. I can't think of a single song, I would consider "campy." If I were to think of some recent songs, in the Pop world, that are "campy" California Gurls and Tik Tok come to mind. But of the songs on FYE, nothing. What does he mean by that?

Yeah, who knows, but more importantly, after a while, Adam was thinking, "WTF am I doing in the back and in the chorus???" And then he took his fabulous fierce self and made things HAPPEN!!!!  So true, such a valuable lesson to learn. Let's hit the desert people! YESSSSS!!!!!! BRB stocking up on ice cream and cake! ;D Oh, wait. You said desert, not dessert...  |

Since joythemeparty played Purple Haze from Amsterdam and trend it on twitter just a reminder of what happened that night   I remember Chunkey's take at her site on that second gif (she had a view from the front) - it involved a dog getting hit by a car.  I laughed until I cried! |

What i understand from Adam's words is that he's going more to Pink's side. Campy to me has more to do with the lyrics of his songs like Fever, SFW "i was born with glitter on my face etc" or Strut or Music Again or IIHY, you know joy, la la la, ha ha ha , I THINK what he's saying is maybe his new songs would have a more deep message. I THINK and I HOPE. Warning :Not saying that i dont love his FYE cd. I DO. His cd gave me more happiness that i could dream of. |

If I were to think of some recent songs, in the Pop world, that are "campy" California Gurls and Tik Tok come to mind. But of the songs on FYE, nothing. What does he mean by that? Oh, I think a lot of the songs are campy, personally, especially when you watch Adam perform them, and I mean this as a compliment--they're funny and charming and a little willfully bizarre. Just a couple of examples of the top of my head--Music Again, and Strut. Watch Adam perform either of those songs, with the strutting about and the elaborate eye roles and the put on accents and occasional (for lack of a better word) "broadway" intonation to the singing and I think they are wonderful camp at its finest! (Like a lot of moments in Freddy Mercury's performances). The GN Live Strut is a perfect example, for me, of a camp performance by Adam (and while I agree California Girls is a little campy, I don't find Tik Tok that campy at all, just more straightforward tongue in cheek, perhaps). To be honest, I've had to swallow my protests a few times lately when I've heard Adam talking about Album 2, and saying it will be more honest and less camp, because to me camp and honest aren't mutually exclusive, especially in Adam, who pulls off camp with such natural charm that it feels like he's simply being a wonderfully exaggerated version of his own free self. I love Adam's campiness and that he doesn't deny himself it, and I hope he continues not to. But I understand of course what he means when he says that, and just remind myself of my total faith in him, and in his ability and intention to produce something wonderful and surprising. |

I've been wondering the same thing. I'm not sure I'm happy about his comments. :-/ If FYE and GNT are considered "campy" then I'm going on record to say I will miss the camp. But then again he does give us what we didn't know we wanted, doesn't he? I didn't know I wanted camp & apparently I did. So maybe I'll wind up wanting "honest & organic" (whatever that means). I thought FYE was pretty damn honest. I fell in love with theatrical Adam and I'll miss him if he goes away. But I'm a pushover for anything he does so it's all good! |

Vivlite....I was in the first batch of Charity:Water e-mails and I have not rec'd mine yet. Like you, I thought maybe I messed up the mailing info, so I re-checked my sent one and it looked OK...so who knows.
Needacoke....You're a hoot !!! We're going to have such a good time @ Mayumi's...I can't wait. Ljsmack is coming with Babs...you'll love them !!! I think the current tally is like 14 or 15 and growing.
Sandy. at least the poster is a standard size, so easy to frame. I have a hall going up to the second floor too so guess I'll start filling that up next.
I just got back from Lowe's Garden Shop and as I entered WWFM was playing loud and proud thru the outside speakers on this gorgeous spring day in Alabama.........what a thrill !! ILHSFM
