Adam was No. 4 WWFM and and No. 33 IIHY in 2010, so still being in the top 100 for 2011 is pretty good I think. That's right! These are old songs! I forgot. I love that FYE is in the top 100. FYE is my favorite out of all of Adam's Music Video!

Can I say that I am having more fun voting in the VH1 Do Something awards than any voting op before this. I get to vote for Adam (over and over) and intersperse it with all kinds of feel good votes for people and places making a difference. I've been trying to vote in this poll since yesterday and could never log in to the VH1 site. I'd submit my info and would still get the "You're Not Logged In" message. It finally occurred to me tonight to change my browser. Now that I'm finally able to vote, it actually is kind of fun. WTF??? "Days of Our Lives" hasn't had a gay character this entire time? And we've been kicking ABC's ass for two full years? ABC soaps have had gay/bi/transgendered characters and storylines dating back YEARS. Bianca (Eric Kane's daughter) came out probably eight years ago. (Correction: looked it up; 11 years ago.) That later segued into a storyline about a transgendered rock star (he was already famous, but could no longer endure living as a man and he began to transition – it was handled very well, actually), then there was Fish and Kyle ("One Life to Live") had the first daytime M/M love scene, including kiss, two years ago, but there have been minor storylines with gay characters on soaps for years on "As the World Turns" (CBS) and I'm sure "General Hospital," but I'm drawing a blank. As The World Turns had a gay character in 1988--it was the first soap to do so. There was no relationship shown, only alluded to. The character, Hank, mentioned his partner Charles several times. Then in June 2007, Luke, the teenaged son of one of the show's longtime leading ladies, met and fell in love with Noah, another teen boy. They had soap's first ever gay male kiss in August 2007, which was viewed on YouTube over two million times. Luke and Noah (or "Nuke" as they were nicknamed) were named by viewers as Soap Opera Digest's favorite couple for many weeks. They were never shown in bed together but they did kiss numerous times throughout the rest of their relationship until they broke up and Luke became involved with Dr. Reid Oliver, with whom he also shared kisses. Like you, I can't believe that Days of Our Lives is just now introducing a gay character. Get with the program, DOOL! Nuke fan here. As murly indicated, they didn't have a minor storyline on ATWT. They were a pretty big deal, I'm proud to say! Featured in the national media first for their groundbreaking kiss and then later (in EW, USA Today, the New York Times--all the other major U.S. newspapers and magazines--CNN, even FOX News!) as a result of fan protest over discriminatory treatment during a seven-month onscreen kissing ban (fans prevailed in that battle). They were the first gay male couple to have sex on daytime TV, even though only the afterglow (not in bed) was shown. They reached "supercouple" status in soap history. So far, the Days story seems to be following the Nuke template. Will be interesting to see how they differ and if they're able to avoid some of the pitfalls. There's a small Adam tie-in since his good friend Alisan Porter is good friends with the boyfriend of one of the actors in the Nuke storyline.

Gelly I am very late tonight - but I send you a big "Happy Birthday" !!!! You and your "gift" of memory just adds so much to our daily Adam story line. Makes us go nuts when we can't remember where it was or what was he wearing, etc. and each time you come through with the exact information and pic. Thank you for keeping our sanity. We wish you nothing but joy in the coming year.
