Hey if they can do a Young Frankenstein and Shrek -- a Spiderman might not be awful... It might be a bunch of men in tight suits!
If you have ever gone to Universal and "met" Spiderman, there isn't much left up to the imagination.
You're my type of gal, Cindy. Nothing wrong with showing appreciation for a hawt male body.
I'd love to hear Adam sing Black Dog.
Are we just too old?
I think the 60s was a high point for rock music - though of course, I was just a little kid at the time. But when you look back at all the great bands - heck , even the Woodstock movie, those were amazing times for music.
For me this season just seems like a battle for second place. None of the other contestants are good enough to even hold Adam's guyliner!
Luckily, Adam is so amazing that he's worth waiting thru the rest of the snoozefest for his performance.
I haven't gone to a concert in decades, but I'd go to his show.
A lot of people, including online music critics share this opinion.
I don't know about of you, but I get a very stuck up and "diva" attitude from him. Maybe it's from his previous theater work and he is using it, but I don't like it.
Now to what I thought was funny. Adam has a musical theater background and has already performed in shows, but according to an interview it was just something to make money. I am not sure where his motives are with this competition, but being on Broadway is a dream for many people, but to him it was merely "a way to pay the bills". He has mentioned that he doesn't want to have that 'Broadway sound' so I wouldn't get your hopes up about seeing him in a theater production anytime soon- unless he doesn't win and needs "a way to pay the bills b/c everyone needs a job, right?" I want someone that is going to live and breathe their music from the beginning and become that artist. I just don't see it from him for some reason.
After I read that interview I was kind of curious about what his motives are in this competition and what he would like to gain from it? Right now the only thing I see him wanting to gain is attention- I probably would never buy his album. I like to compare him to David Cook, but have found it's not possible. David Cook get use that rockstar voice- win over America and not have to scream in every song like a banshee.
These are my opinions for now.. well maybe a rant? I am open to any thoughts on what you all think. I will check back after work.
As I've mentioned in a previous post, I'm a professional musician (violin/viola) and I can speak for most musician - we rarely turn down any jobs. We actually joke among ourselves that we're "hookers" - just in a different line of work. Before I won a job in a major symphony orchestra, I did everything from working in the pit with touring musicals, playing shows at theme parks, wedding gigs, conventions where no one can hear know you, cruise ships (like Jennifer Hudson), etc. I love music but I certainly didn't love every gig I was playing. Hoever, if you're going to make a living in this profession, you get realistic very quickly, ditch the stars in your eyes, and gratefully take whatever work comes your way. I completely understand Adam and I admire him for actually being able to make a living in music - unlike other contestants who work on oil rigs, as waiters, etc.
What he's doing now is trying to take the next step and become that 1 in a million who can make a living as a solo performer. He's being very smart about it and he hasn't made a misstep yet, because he, more than anyone, knows what's at stake here.
That's it!!! That's who he is.... a glorious voice in a rock star package.
Sigh...now if he just gets his hands on some good original music he'll be set. That seems the toughest obstacle for an Idol winner. They always seem to rush out a CD and, great musician or not, the songs are crap.
That's the key to becoming a "star". All the talent, and publicity in the world is not going to help you if nobody wants to hear your music or buy your albums. You just have to look at all the one-hit wonders out there to see how hard it is to keep turning out good product.
I've read that contestants aren't allowed to be under any other professional contracts while they are competing. Adam may have been under various contracts with various theaters before, and the timing was right this time. I don't know, I'm just guessing.
What Adam said in a previous interview was that he didn't think he was good enough - didn't have a shot of winning AI.
He did it this year because all his friends insisted that he had to audition and he was ready to take the chance.
Maybe you're seeing confidence and getting that confused???? I find confidence a major turn on and cockiness a major turn off....
It's not much fun, but at least we have hope.
