Still absolutely over the moon. Last few days were so wonderful.
Now, even if you use the download to save the documentary for your own keepsake, especially here in the US/CA, please also watch it and stream it on ABC:
Just had to enter my TV carrier, and I was able to start watching. Great resolution, and sound quality and all.
Thank you relaxingoceanfront for your esteemed input. Interesting world. So, they had all the pieces or most of the pieces for a documentary and Jim Beach was shopping for a way to turn the material into something valuable for the band, that either increases the awareness or marketability, that makes money, or otherwise offers something useful to everyone. Always thinking big, Queen style. No point making the documentary and selling it just to a few thousand super committed fans, right?
So ABC comes knocking with a problem they have, and they negotiate for a while and this is the outcome. Wow. And as you say, everybody wins in the process. Brilliant! And probably, easier to organize such a deal with Adam's present management than it would have been in the past, I would presume. Because, if you think in form of opportunities (for both Adam and Joe Jonas, in this case), things can actually happen. Not so sure this would have happened quite this way in the past. But I can see how this documentary required a few rounds of planning in the licensing department at ABC, lol, to pull it off. Adam is in a great place right now, in so many ways. Really happy for him, and eagerly awaiting that single now.
Finally, wanted a add a few words regarding Lyndsey Parker in response to MeggyMeg . Lyndsey is a music critic, author, and huge music fan. She has written books, and articles, and reported in print as well as online magazines on various music TV events and is in the business since the 90s. But the work that got her onto the radar screen of everyone here, is the fact that Lyndsey runs the vlog called 'The Day After' and covers American Idol both there as well as in shorted form for TV and print, Yahoo Music! being her main outlet.
As such, she obviously followed every season including season 8, and stood out for her very positive and musically knowledgeable reports on Adam. So that is where the connection started, because Adam obviously also saw what she had to offer, so she got some really lengthy sit down interviews, post idol, which helped her fame in the usually rather critical Glambert world. She has been a great communicator on behalf of Adam, as becomes apparent in this documentation.
Just thought I'd add that, as her focus is significantly wider than just Idol, or Adam, i.e. she published a book on Duran Duran, for example. So her story is a tad bigger than previously reported.

This is where Melliemom and I are watching Thank you so much for providing the link! Since SMGO is on "demand", I can see it as many times as i want. It does get better with each viewing. I hope the Idol contestants were watching this documentary to see how the songs should be sung.

Maybe because it framed it differently for you, and gave it a wider and legitimate context. I think many Americans thought, because of the backlash, that it was wrong of Adam to do that, when really it wasn't. The American media's reaction was wrong. That's exactly the right thing for an artist to do - be a rebel, be himself, and broaden the viewers concepts and horizons. Agree (finally). Adam has more then educated me and I am glad for it. The backlash was brutal. I didn't watch that network for over 2 years. And, as more and more of their own personnel came out, I got even more pissed. Where were they during the backlash? But, the deal is, they did come out. And, I can't help but think that Adam was instrumental in initiating that process. I was one of the ones pissed at Adam, not to the point of writing a letter. Probably wouldn't have been so much if I hadn't called my 10 year old son out to watch just Adam's performance. It was not a nice guy next door performance, nor was it naughty raunchy like he was starting to turn the Idol tour concerts into. It was straight up angry which I had never seen from him before or since. I bought the CD but didn't listen to it for at least a week. I did keep watching to see how he handled the backlash. It took him a couple of weeks to get off of the "but girls do it" lament which I guess in the long run became the big story and on to the "I didn't rehearse it that way and I hadn't been on TV since Idol so it was unexpected" which mollified me more. I do wonder if a few tweaks such as, less crotch faces and a smooch instead of a face swallow would have gotten a lot less push back. But then so did the other side of the album cover. All water under the bridge now. Talk about some publicity - that was a water cooler moment.

Oh yeah! Wouldn't it be great if the doc got an Emmy nom? That would be fantastic! Yes, fingers crossed.
