Madamimadam Treasure Trove

Well I first saw him sing on Idol.  Singing Mad World. For a very straight male who had never been compelled enough to follow an artist. Let alone an openly gay one haha. It was obvious on Idol. It was very odd. I actually thought it was an old Elvis concert when he sang MW haha. Oh its idol.  Went home one weekend told my parents you have too see this singer on American Idol (up till Adam I had never thought much of singing show contestents) . He sang Born to be wild,  my Dad a Neil Diamond fan and not a fan of current mainstream,  contemporary voice was impressed.  Best voice ever on idol he said.  I then started buying his idol music. Funny thing is I stopped watching after that. It wasent until 2010, I started watching his idol run. Couldent beleive it when I saw WLL for the first time,  is this guy allowed to do that on primetime tv haha. Was sold. Then when Fye came out (released later in NZ). It was actually the first album I
had ever bought. I also remember showing my elderly grandparents MW, they thought it was rare for a contemporary artist today to have such good nuancement of lyrics.  Watched all of his performances.  Good too because NZ have had 7 radio singles from Fye and TP. Wwfm, Iihy, Fye,  Fever,  Sfw,  Trespassing,  Ncoe.  But yeah that's how I became a fan. Oh I then saw him live for the first time ever with Queen in Auckland.  My parents long time Queen fans were blown away by Adam, everyone was raving after the show how it was pure classic rock.

I discovered Adam on NYE when the lovely BBC in the UK very kindly put him on TV with Queen, my favourite band ever.

I was so gobsmacked by it all that I started to blog about it a couple of months ago.  You might have come across me, but if not you can find me at badassalterego.wordpress.com if you scroll down to the bottom of it, I've written about the NYE performance (and my poor husband's reactions)

I am not one of the Idol watchers or any of the other shows of that type. Not that I don't like them but the TV is always taken over by the others in the house who play video games and watch a lot of sci-fi movies and programs. So, I didn't follow Adam on Idol because I didn't even know about him.

I am a Queen fan and a fan of many, many different bands spanning a long period of time. I can't say that I have a favorite genre but I love guitars and blues, rock, but I like pop and pop rock, too. It just depends on the song, the singer and how it grabs me.

I first became aware of Adam on one of the Queen sites and thought he had a very good voice but I didn't know the intent of what was going on or that he had already performed with Queen, previously. When they kicked off the tour, I was watching and listening live, on ustream, I believe, and was blown away! Not only was I hearing some of my favorite songs but live to boot and it was wonderful. With the eve of all of the new devises out there to watch or listen or both, my love for Adam has grown, immensely. He is so dang talented!! He is always positive, humble, outrageous, energetic, outstanding, handsome, hot and everything else that could possibly be that is positive about a human being. Adam is IT!!!

I've started some recording, myself, of some live shows, namely Rock In Rio and also went wild when I heard the In Session videos. I recorded them just because the sound was so fantastic and I was afraid they'd be pulled down. As it turns out, the only one that was ever uploaded to youtube was The Original High and the sound isn't as good as the one I recorded off their website. I don't know why they didn't upload Ghost Town as well but they didn't. And whomever did the upload forgot or doesn't know that there's a stretch code for wide screen videos for youtube and they didn't use it so the video is distorted. I may message them on youtube, eventually, but who knows if they will listen to me, anyway.

Anyway, I am so glad to be on this board and can't wait for whatever happens with Adam, next. It's sure to be exciting!

ETA: Edited to change the website I first watched Adam singing, live.
