A grandpa's assessment of Adam's emotional voyage
4 days ago :: Apr 10, 2009 - 06:07PM
There once was a thread (I kid you, it still exists) titled: "I wonder what Adam thinks about the phenomenon..." where a lovely gentleman posted an incredibly touching view of what Adam is going through. I encouraged said gentleman to start his own thread with his amazing post, but alas... to no avail! Along with my encouragement, came a threat/promise that I would do it for him if he had not... So here I am, but more importantly, here is his post:
I knew when I saw his emotional reaction to the very first comments he got (from Paula) after his first performance of the finals that the reason he almost lost it was because of having lived what Paula was so perplexed by. That being all the years he has poured his everything into trying to finally get beyond, as Paula put it, "not being established already, for several years, as a recording artist." I could literally feel that watershed moment for him, after I'm sure hearing so many "You're not what we're looking for"s for so many years, finally hearing on one of the grandest of scales that "You are the one we've been looking for."
You could so plainly see all the years, days, every-single-moments of yet-another-disappointments evaporate right before him like so many strands of fog as the early morning fades away into the oncoming day. Suddenly, instantly, almost mystically his very existence had been transformed, yea, even transported into a reality so unfamiliar that yes, I can completely understand why it would seem very surreal to him. It must be like an exceedingly prolonged and slow, very slow awakening from a dream that, with every passing moment, is so much further distant it may eventually even seem almost an imagination to him.
As a father (and grandfather) myself, I can fully imagine what this time must also be like for his parents/grandparents. It has truly been a joy to watch unfold, that is certain .
YOu are welcome! There're a lot of Adam discussion on the Idol thread, but when AI over, this thread would be good to keep up with whatever he'll be up to.

Believe me, I have been over there! LOL.....I have never been SO interested in an Idol before. And that says a lot, since I have been watching it since Season One.
I'm not saying the other top tens weren't good, it's just, Adam has something special. My DH was the lead singer in a band many years ago and he recognized Adam's talent immediately during the auditions.
I'm the OP of this thread, and I'm still and Adam worshipper, but I have come to really like Kris too. They have completely different styles, but they're both amazing!
What I like is that usually the judges ho-hum at theatrical voices such as Adam's. But this time they have been won over by a theater guy and the audience is going wild over him. How nice to see a success other than rock'n'roll or country singer. Not that there is anything wrong with those genres, it's just they have been done to death. And I love the theater.
