The other judges didn't comment after Mad World, at least on the air. Adam's whole performance ran overtime and only Simon spoke. Millions of people that were recording the show missed Adam's performance and Simon's standing ovation. I checked the results night episode on Megavideo, too. The other judges didn't comment then, either. Yes, Mad World ran way over time and at the end of the song Simon said that he would be the only one talking, but that words were unnecessary and that he wanted to give Adam a standing ovation. He stood and clapped and was followed by all three of the other judges. The next night on results night - BEFORE the results were announced and just after the Ford commercial I think, Ryan asked the other three judges (not Simon) their thoughts and take on Adam's performance of the night before. The comments weren't long, but they were there and positive. Ryan also asked Adam how he felt about being given a standing O by Simon. Adam, as always was humble and honoured ;D Thanks Catzmadam - that's what I'm thinking of for sure! ![:)](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/smiley.png)

Well - not voting on Idol tonight - not a Country fan :-/ will leave that to those fans! Loved David Cook's song choice though - one of my fav Simple Minds songs! ![:)](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/smiley.png) Saw them perform it at UC Berkeley Greek Theater more than several years ago! (I'm old!) Great concert! ![;)](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/wink.png) ;D

Adam SAYS he is unfiltered. Such is not the case. While it is true that he doesn't throw BS at us in interviews or blindly speak the party line, he is a master at answering the questions he wants to answer in the way he wants to answer them, while ignoring or diverting the questions he doesn't. He is adept at finding and focusing on the positive in any situation, while keeping the negative and any conflicts or disagreements far from the press. In his interviews he is generous, personable, articulate, and comfortable, but, make no mistake, he is in control of what he says and how he says it. Same with his tweets. One smart, savvy man. This, 1,000,000% Cassie. There is NO, NONE, ZERO comparison between James' social ineptitude and Adam's PR brilliance. Adam could teach top-tier politicians about interviewing. He says exactly as much as he wants and never makes a person feel stupid, even when they ask a stupid question that's been answered 500 times before. Adam TOTALLY has a filter. He may be extremely honest, but he knows how to couch his honesty to always charm and come out a the class-act in the equation. I also agree about the Durbin quotes going through the summer. Today, I just laughed. It seems to me that the interviewers know it's an Achilles heel with him and they give him just enough rope to hang himself. He bit again today (though, from what I heard, they didn't even ask the question), but of course, they're smart enough to put Adam's name in the title and the URL. All summer, we can just laugh and say, "Whatever, dude!" I think most of the Gaga discussion has been about the business aspects of the release, not the album itself, so therefore it is a commentary on the industry and totally relevant. It just happens to be the yardstick we are measuring with right now. And it's also an examination of sales strategies, etc. I agree 1M% too about Adam and his always gracious ways of handling things! ;D Plus agree with the Durbin comments! ;D Don't know enough about your Gaga comments - to comment on that ![:-X](http://i770.photobucket.com/albums/xx348/Quu3/Adam%20Smilys/Other%20Smileys/OMGlam.gif)

Just got through watching ALL of Adam's Season 8 video's! Getting ready to watch tonight's AI. (You can find all of AI8 Adam videos here on my YouTube channel ~ www.youtube.com/user/9876kp?feature=mhee - click on the link on the right - that says "Adam Idol". I'm missing one thing - the other judges remarks after "Mad World"! I saw their reviews once, somewhere - but can't find them now! HELP! If you know, please post the link so I can add it! Thanks! ![:)](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/smiley.png)

Ok, you convinced me too. The funny thing is I'm really not that far from the North Pacific so it won't make a lot of difference on the map. Ha! But you have now dry feet ![:-*](http://i770.photobucket.com/albums/xx348/Quu3/Adam%20Smilys/Other%20Smileys/kiss.gif) Jamie too - Zinnia! Yeah! ;D

I agree. JustKaren's map is fabulosity squared and is a LOT of hard work. I understand that for many anonominity is important in this cyberspace world of ours, but, come on Atopians - even if it's a general area, or just a state in the US. I know that personally, it helps enormously to know where and WHEN most importantly time zone wise peeps are from when I'm posting. Ok ok....you guys twisted my arm. ;D I changed it in my profile. Do I need to do something else for the map? Thanks Catzmadam for saying so also & Thanks Jamie for participating too! Yeah! We still need more to do so! ![:)](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/smiley.png)
