Good God, all we are doing today is reinforcing the negative and by the end of it all Adam's having a break down. Unbelievable isn't it.

It's been really interesting following the different sentiments in reaction to his "absence". And the subject is a bit of a beaten horse at this point, but here's my 2 cents (probably not even worth that much). I've been a fan of Adam since Idol but that doesn't mean he owes me a damn thing. I buy his music and enjoy listening to him sing anything. If he's performing near me I go to a show. I have him as one of my IG followers and on Twitter and like and share stuff if it makes sense. If he stopped performing and sharing his voice I'd be sad for the waste of talent, but there's a world of music out there, so other things would step in. I think some of what's going on is the truly toxic side of social media - this sense of entitlement to information about other people's lives. I'm happy for whatever someone I follow wants to share, but don't expect it, and am under no illusion what I'm seeing is in any way representative of their true life (not matter what is presented). I enjoy what I get, don't miss what I don't and have plenty of my own shit to deal with in between. Off to stream Velvet Side A again. I agree 100% - Thanks for your post.

Why complaints that Adam promotes other people? It's not like folks have one vote and if Adam promotes someone else, he loses the one vote to them. It's not like Adam is putting himself down by praising or promoting others. He doesn't lose anything. But, he often wins goodwill from fans of the others, from the artists themselves and from the industry at large that recognizes what a nice and decent guy he is. An all around win.

I think Adam will probably continue to do some version of "the speech" - it has evolved over time and may continue to evolve. But I think Brian, Roger and Adam like to acknowledge Freddie and his contributions to the band, and will continue to do so. I do like the changes Adam has made, less "apologetic" and more "let's celebrate his legacy." I don't care much about what diehard Queen fans want or think, but I think the speech is appreciated by the casual fan, as my brother and a bunch of friends I brought to San Jose confirmed to me. I think the "speech" is appreciated by many and is a valuable bit of the concert.

I think Adam has always been a bit of an open book. Does he share and tell everything about his life and love? No. I don't think anyone does that or should. I really don't need to know everything he is feeling or thinking at all times. He should share what he is comfortable sharing and not what others are going on about or what others want him to share. Sometimes celebrities can tell too darn much and it only leads to more judgment or media intrusion or fans being nosier. It will never be enough to satisfy some. Adam is a beautiful person and man and he gives us a lot. I'll take Adam as he is and not worry about what I don't know about his every thought.

Dear Atoppers!
My DH and I are going on a short vacation to the North Sea in the coming days, so I won't be able to post my birthday-cakes for about a week!
Until next week many greetings from Northern Germany from Betty! Have a Wonderful Vacation!
