 ETA: This may seem a bit incongruous in light of the topic, but I found this shot to be campy. JMHO |

Whether Adam is being campy, or theatrical, being satirical, or ironical, or even parodying anything... his brand of entertainment catches you, wraps around you and envelopes you with such enjoyment ....I will have it no other way, than , Adam Lambert's brand of entertainment....  |

I think too 'theatrical' is a code for too 'Broadway'. There's a difference between being theatrical like Madonna in a concert and being theatrical using 'Broadway' singing style and mannerisms. I love it when Adam is theatrical and/or campy but I don't like it when he slips into 'Broadway' like he does in Soaked. I love Broadway - on Broadway but not in a pop-rock concert. For better or worse, musical theater is a bit stale from the perspective of the younger demographic. He can be as theatrical and campy as he wants, in fact I love it, but I want him to sound current at the same time. I get what you're saying but I LOVED "Soaked" at GNT. It was a chill-inducing moment at every show – and by the audience's reaction, I would say it was well received everywhere. And I think he proved you can integrate the elements of many styles and come up with his own amalgam of originality. To me, saying, "This style belongs here and this style belongs there," is putting everything back into boxes. I completely agree SusieFierce. Soaked was absolutley riviting and once again showed us why we love him so much. He can sing anything!!!! |

Bringing this post over from last night because when I read it, I remembered the perfect quote to go with it.
The quote I remembered is by Sarah Silverman. She said, "The good news is hopeful doesn't mean dumb. The bad news is cynical doesn't mean smart."

When I put my vids on YT, I put WWL Knoxville as the one that is showcased when someone goes to my channel. I thought it was my best vid but Soaked Knoxville is my most popular. Soaked has over 31,000 views and WWL has just now hit 20,000. That kinda surprised me although I too LOVED Soaked. |

Okay, back from yesterday's thread. If, like me, you were unable to come to Atop yesterday, please go read last night's thread. Run, don't walk. This place is..... just IS. [That probably makes no sense, but yeah.]Yeah, it is a wonderful read. With that in mind, I just started a thread in Inspired By Adam where we can place bookmarks to posts/conversations that are particularly thought provoking. Conversations like last night's are worth multiple readings. And for me, I'd rather have the bookmark here than on my computer. |

I have never seen one Adam live performance that I would not pay $100+ right now to see again. I do not care if he does a soft ballad, light opera, classic rock or decide to put on a theatrical review. I will be there. Maybe not in row 1 (because I am not tall and long-armed enough to block everyone's view). But I will be there. Someday, I would love to see Adam star in a modern pop-rock opera -- that would be a trip. (And I would use every $$$ and connection I have to be at that opening night in the first row.) But for the next tour, I expect to see a more personal show -- no lack of entertainment, and I am sure costumes and dancers will be involved -- but songs that mean more to Adam because he wrote them. In the GNT live performance, Soaked was a vocal highpoint, but Aftermath meant more to me and connected in a different way. I think that is because Adam wrote Aftermath and "owned" the lyrics. Similarly, I adore Strut. It has remained one of my fav FYE tracks since the beginning. And it is a wonderful, fun, glamaganza live. Even on a low budget. I would love to see this number done on a big stage with more dancers, and a huge stair case. |
