One thing about Adam, he doesn't go backwards. Following the one-step back AMAs. he went forward six steps the next day. The puppetmaster and all the angels have kissed our boy over and over (that's what those freckles are--kisses from the angels). Adam never does the same thing. I am so excited for the next album. I know he will beat the whole industry up with his sparkle. Life is so much fun with Adam in it. I am so glad he came along for this elite group of Adam-lovers that follow him. He is like the Pied Piper. We are all going to end up in heaven. See if I am not absolutely correct on this psychic premonition for his next album. Irish, what a beautiful sentiment. This young man is much loved and deserves all those angel kisses. |

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 Can it be that WWFM is now considered mainstream? I heard it today in one of Adam's favorite shopping places....TJ Maxx. Had to pick up a baby gift for a co-worker and they have pretty cute cheap clothes....don't judge me.  |

Nothing better than digging through to find cute stuff on the super cheap. Ok well maybe Target shoe department is my mecca (cute cheap flats holla!) but it's a close second call And yeah I would think WWFM is very mainstream... |

Funny - I read this, and for a moment I thought you were talking about US! The magical time we had, experiencing the tour together. I, too, love how we care about each other and stay in touch . . . |

One of the Radio outlets that tweeted about being excited to play the Aftermath remix, 2 weeks ago, was Saturday Night On-line. Should we be requesting it tonight? I sent an e-mail and asked them if they could play it, if they have it. Romeo@saturdaynightonline Mys*&@^#r, if you get a reply PLEASE put the answer on the Radio Request Thread. Thanks!! |

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? 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. YES! Yes, yes, yes. and YES! But then, I like my serious message delivered with a smile and a wink. I like Godspell better than Jesus Christ Superstar even though the music in JCS is undeniably better. I like Byron better than Wordsworth because Byron knew how to laugh at himself, how to hold the truth of overblown romanticism in one hand and the irony in the other. And it's something that chimes with me about Adam, too. There's no question that his talent runs very deep. But when he wrote, after his album cover release, "Hey, folks, it's SUPPOSED to be ridiculous," it was over for me. I was hooked. And my immediate response to mys*&@^#r's question about what was camp on FYE, too, was "Strut and Music Again". Not that there isn't good stuff in there, but watch him perform them -- as MWP points out, the very obvious eye rolls and winks, the self-parody. As someone who fears, sometimes, being seen as ridiculous, one of the things I love best about Adam is his ability to OWN it, wear it proudly. I learn something worthwhile from the boy (or from Adamtopia) almost every day. That's just one reason why both are so damn addictive! |
