Funny you should mention this. Susie & I were just talking about this earlier today. A country that is suppose to be close minded & controlling, is more accepting of this gay artist than the US. Why? My guess is that China has such a high regard for the artist, that Adam's talent & voice is more important to them than anything else about him. The US, especially radio, could learn from them! Controlling, yes! definitely still in certain areas but close-minded? I think that perception was caused by the long-standing closed door policy till the early 80s and impressions of the Old China; lack of communication and understanding will do that. And, your assessment about their general attitude towards Adam was spot on! When people talk about Adam Lambert, those adjectives & phrases are commonly used: music prodigy, heavenly voice, genuine talent, stage presence of a Rock God, handsome, gorgeous, sexy as hell...., oh, and another one of my favorites: "yeah, he's gay and your point is...?" (note: make no mistake there're homophobes in China as well, just like the rest of the world but haters to the right, right?!  ) |

Thanks also from me for the Sauli translations. I noticed that the video had English sub-titles. Do you think Sauli's show will also be sub-titled so all his international fans can enjoy it too? I am sure that Adam is really pleased that this is all falling into place for Sauli. I think it works better in a relationship if both partners are on more of a equal footing. They will both be busy, but I'm sure they will make time for each other. Today's video was done by the magazine - they want hits and know that foreign people are interested. No English subtitles for the TV show though - they will only benefit from people watching it on TV in Finland who see the ads and increase audience figures. What fans can do, I don't know - that's a question for next autumn. |

(note: make no mistake there're homophobes in China as well, just like the rest of the world but haters to the right, right?! ) I appreciate your perspective, Maddie. OT, but one thing I have noticed is how Chinese people treat my 85-year-old Dad (and before her death, my Mom) with enormous respect. That too is a very different attitude from how he may often be treated by our culture. Recently, Blake Shelton made headlines for calling older country music fans "old farts" and "jackasses." Somehow I can't imagine that happening in China. I might be all wet, but the attitude you describe about gays with the general attitude in China also reminds me of the older generation here (i.e. my parents and even more so my grandparents). My Dad says that the attitude he was raised with was that a gentleman simply never inquired into what another person did in the bedroom, ever. I would never trade away the gains that resulted from the sexual revolution but there was a cost there as well. |

I don't think they are rated 1 to 5, I think they are just listed in the order of the season they were on.  |

Still on page 1 but wanted to share that I rode into Nashville today along with my Queenbert disc from Kiev. WOW! It repeated itself over and over and I never lost interest. It's been awhile since I've listened and it sounded SO GOOD. I noticed at one point that I had a huge smile on my face and was singing loudly along while pounding on the steering wheel. FELT GOOD! Those concerts were such a gift to Adam's and Queen's fans. Do you guys remember when that Kiev stream came through and we all just died when we realized it was pro??! It was mesmerizing.
