“Vampy, skanky, faggy” — say that three times fast! LOL! :)
I have to say that Adam does not offend me in the same way he obviously does you. When I majored in theatre in college (about a zillion years ago!) I knew a lot of gay students who were a lot like him. I think a lot of gay people calm down and chill out as they get older, but when they are young and often have recently come out of the closet, they seem to have a need to prove something. Hence the ridiculous and icky drag outfits, smooching in public and full makeup, etc. I guess what I’m saying is that I’ve *seen* this behavior before, from people I knew personally, who were not bad people at all (although they certainly had issues with their sexuality). I haven’t watched Adam’s “tribute” to the flag, though, so maybe I just haven’t seen all there is to see.
I do think that Adam is not a standalone artist. I see him on Broadway, or maybe frontman with the right band (yes, I saw all those jokes yesterday! :). I see no chance of him winning Idol.
Thanks for the birthday wishes for my boys! I can’t believe it either! Glad it’s true, though. :)
Oh, heck no. Keep the little Peter Pan far, far away from the GWW. (Local theater production in your town seems more appropriate.)
As someone who is also trained, I do agree with your educated opinion of his range and control. He simply blows everyone else out of the water this year in those categories.
Bottom line, IMO, is that Adam would not be a good American Idol. If he applied his gift to arrangements that were a bit more mainstream, and he quit acting like a cheap male escort singing to his old, fat John at some sleazy club on karaoke night, then he might have a chance at being a decent Idol.
Oh, and the flag thing is him singing the anthem in front of people dressed up as sheep. Gotta love how artsy wannabees think such obvious messages are deep and thought-provoking.
Hi, I don’t know you.. just happened upon your post at the end of the thread, or at least, what is the end tonight.
Adam offends me. To me, it’s clear he’s posing. No authenticity whatsoever.
They didn’t save Alexis and let inferior singer/entertainers move forward.
