I found it interesting where he talks about Adam Era 3, hoping for a better reception in this "Sam Smith loving" America.
Why does it seem to be so much easier for the US to embrace people like Sam Smith, make a big deal out of him coming out, promote him everywhere, and yet Adam has had to fight for every inch in the last 5 years, living out and proud? I will never get that. no.gif
But awesome review; the guy writes like he's definitely a fan.

Just got this link in my Google alert on Adam and I wanted to respond to your question about why it is easier for Sam Smith than it has been for Adam. I think Adam's very handsome face and his sex appeal is threatening to many people. Adam is a very sexy gay man and he can't help but be sexy and gorgeous. I think a lot of women are attracted to him and they resist it by rebuffing him. Being attracted to a gay man doesn't compute in their brains. I see this happening with my sister. She never liked stylish men. She is happy with a guy who wears nice clothes but is not sexy-just your average guy. The clothes, the make-up, the costumes-too much for her. Sam Smith is not threatening in that way. He is more your average guy.
Adam was the first out of the gate and he came out full force. Loaded with personality, glam and talent. He made you notice him. He was in everyone's living room week you couldn't ignore him. People watched, but when it came to supporting his music, they shied away. I think the things we love about Adam was too much for some to handle. Adam is a hurricane, and some can only handle a drizzle.
I am bringing this in here because I love what daisydoggie had to say...
"Adam is a hurricane, and some can only handle a drizzle."
Perfect explanation in so few words!!!!
