Adam Lambert has more courage and honesty than anyone and I just listened to his song “Master Plan” and almost had an out of body esperience-brillant genius talent.
Not read the whole thread yet, just catching up, but I really think this is what he meant:
Although I like the entertainment value of scrutinizing every detail of a reality show contestant, it was refreshing that in Adam’s case his trump card was not life struggle (those he’s had plenty I’m sure), it was not adversity (ditto) and it was not family tragedy (sad and real though that may be for other contestants). No for him, the money play was and always will be true talent and wow-factor performances. It’s grass roots talent show stuff that is actually very rare these days I think!
On the swearing thing-
The way we use language is something we subconsiously change according to our audiences. We have a whole variety of built in voices, and we use the one that will be effective and will connect with whoever we are speaking to. For example, think of a kindergarten teacher who uses a certain voice with young children, but then changes that voice outside of that environment. When we can adapt and change for audiences, then we are effective communicators. If that same teacher talked to everyone the way she talked to her students, she would be a poor communicator.
Adam is a strong communicator, and it shouldn’t be a surpise that he shifts languages for audiences as seamlessly as he shifts octaves. My son, a musician as well, never swears around me, but when he is interviewed for music blogs, his language changes and becomes the language that those type of listeners understand and get. When I read those interviews, I read the “f- word” here and there. Does it mean he is any less nice or any less respectful with me, or with with people who don’t use language that way? No.
Adam knows when swearing is inappropriate, and for the most part, keeps it back during those times. (What the “f” is this?) The times when it spills over, let’s dance bitches at an AI show, (when his music and performance language spilled into the family audience arena,) come when he is so excited about what he is doing that the filter is over-ridden for a moment, and end up contributing to the edgy with a smile image that seems to fascinate many.
The reality? Adam is both people- the nice guy and the edgy guy. Mainly, he knows when to be which side, and mostly merges the two, my favorite presentation. Still, when everyone is following his every move and spoken word, the audiences will be less seperated, and the language of those two worlds is bound to collide from time to time. If we think he is “soft and sweet,” and a part of him is, we should also know that sometimes he will be a bit “rough.” And it will all be for our entertainment.
