For myself I can say that I do like Adam, but I am not an uber fan. I’m not “under the spell” of him, and I can have less-than-positive opinions about some aspects of him without disliking him.
It’s funny to me because people make derogatory comments here about all the other Idols, David Cook’s hair and beard, Danny’s smile and religion, Kris being boring, Daughtry being dull and boring, etc., but if someone says something slightly unflattering about Adam, all heck breaks loose. As fans we all have to suck it up sometimes when we are reminded that this is not a fan board for any of them, and there will be criticisms.
Again, I like Adam, it’s just the hyperbole that turns me off. And tends to backfire, usually.
Great example, KLI.
Of course artists wear makeup when they’re onstage or doing a photo or cover shoot. But I like that David Cook, for instance, dresses casual most of the time and his makeup doesn’t seem overdone. Some of us like the casual vibe, that’s all. I will love Adam’s magic on a stage, on a screen, but not necessarily offstage. That’s all I was saying.
I don’t see how pointing out that David Cook wears eyeliner proves anything or makes any particular point. Adam does a lot more than wear eyeliner. They are two different types of people, with two very different images. David gets plenty of commentary on his eyeliner, his hair, and everything else about him. It’s the nature of a message board to dissect everyone.
Yes and David designed the cover too (or at least helped). He has a BA in graphic arts (his major was theater and then he changed it). A multi-talented guy, like so many of the idols. He did musical theater in high school and college, and he’s not above wearing costumes too. His recent role as “Terry the light technician” on his website is pretty amazingly funny, you’d never know it was him. He has real acting and comedic chops.
Yes of course they all have an image and they all do what feels most comfortable for them. I hope this wasn’t intended to be a lashing out in retaliation for opinions being expressed about Adam. All artists wear makeup but it’s undeniable that Adam wears more makeup and outlandish costumes than most, he’s a flamboyant and theatrical type of artist. I really don’t think the fact that David Cook wears some eyeliner for cover shoots or onstage (or even offstage, who cares?) is relevant to Adam’s OTT theatrical appearance. Adam is lady gaga, David Cook is more grunge/hippie. Apples and oranges.
To me I wonder sometimes if Adam feels a bit imprisoned by his image. Or it’s probably just fun and exciting for him now.
Speaking of David Cook’s image, he comes out onstage wearing a green spandex bodysuit and dances around like a joker. He’s not really tied too heavily to his image I don’t think. I could see him being a good character actor, he seems to enjoy becoming different characters. I also think that he doesn’t care that much what he wears, that he wants to be comfortable onstage and believe me, some of his fans even complain that they want him to dress differently or get rid of the hats or whatver, but he does what feels right for him, as does Adam of course.
I don’t know Sanpaku, but check out his blue eyes on this page. It is #7859

I see this in David too. I think moving over to acting would be easy for him.
It looks like the discussion on these photos is still raging.
I still have no idea what these photos are for. Since they are released to public this early ,these might not be for the album cover . Must be for some publicity or ad use.
But the headlined photo reminds me of of diCaprio in the movie Man in the Iron Mask.
Adam is just a beautiful man. Just as diCaprio is such a beautiful man.
This two – their eyes – very striking.

Interestingly, when asked who would play him in a movie about his life story, Adam said DiCaprio.
Not that it matters, but I don’t really think that Adam has Sanpaku. It’s more a camera angle thing for him. That dude from Twilight definitely has it. And according to wiki, so does Jesus. LOL. Gotta love wiki.
Oceana: The information on David is interesting. I knew some of it. I’ve liked DC during S8, but have started to follow and appreciate him more over the summer.(See, you can come on MJs for season 9, but still enjoy keeping up with other seasons…or even gain a new appreciation.) My husband loves him-has “light on” as his ring tone. I think his theatre background helped him sell his performances on AI. He comes across as intelligent, witty, and sincere. He definately gives a great interview. BTW, what college did he go to? I like David and Adam because they have depth-they’re interesting. I want to know more. I don’t know if it’s due to theatre experience or not, but they both have a certain something on stage. The presentations are different, but there is something similar also.
I am interested in the eye thing. I raise Arabian horses, and white around the eye in any form is looked down on, they call it human eye and shouldnt be used for breeding. Anyhow, horses with such eyes are known to be a little wild or even kind of crazy, just different so to speak. Most of those people with the white around there eyes seem to be different or unique. Sorry if OT. As far as the photos go, I was watching a Bowie video from Philly, and Adam is singing, Put on your red shoes and dance, the reason for the red shoes in photos?????? :ponder_tb:
Showed the photo to my husband who IMMEDIATELY said “Hand on the crotch – classic Adam!”…how did we miss that? In hundreds and hundreds of comments?
Late to the party – on vacation – so a very delayed response – loved all the comments!
Well I would hope that they at least use an original concept if some of these photos are potential record covers. The one in the box is clearly a rip off from the Madonna video, where she is in black vinyl with her little dog and a whip. The photos of Adam in the red shoes and purple tie? remind me of some Duran Duran photos, very Simon Le Bon circa 1980s and a few other artists of that era. Not digging the Tudor thing myself, not when one has been watching Jonathan Rhys Meyers, hubba hubba, doing it for two years on TV, sorry Adam. Did like the photos with the black shiny leather jacket and gloves, because it didn’t seem to be trying so hard to be anything per se.
The best pictures usually come about either by accident or not trying to hard.
I posted the item you quoted and it had nothing to do with your previous post or “making a point”. I was saying it because I remembered he wore it and I liked it when he did. He doesn’t wear it that often anymore, and I liked seeing it again.
More like always.
Well I guess he saw they have kindred eyes.
They both clean up nicely also.
They know how to work the camera.
Feast for the eyes.
