Adam Lambert - Come Home.

I cannot begin to express how much I loveloveloveloveLOVE Adam Lambert.
His voice (which I think is at least 3 octaves or more?) and his stage presence is so amazing that it blows me away every time I listen to the man.
His onstage demeanor is so unlike what he comes off as during interviews. He's so damn flamboyant onstage it's like he's channeling both David Bowie and Freddie Mercury. What's more, there's always so much passion and emotion whenever he performs especially during more subtle performances, like Motown week's "Tracks of My Tears", "Come Home" during a gig at Upright Cabaret and his cover of Five For Fighting's "I Just Love You". I could just close my eyes and listen to his voice, drowning in the emotions. It's like he delivers everything impeccably without flailing and manages to somehow maintain those insanely long and high notes that drives me insane because I can never figure out how he does that. His interpretations of popular songs today are so fresh and innovative to the point where he makes it sound nothing like the original, giving them a whole different sound and edge.

I guess I could say, as cheesy as it sounds, that he "had me at hello". The minute he stepped into that audition room singing "Bohemian Rhapsody", which is an epic song that hardly anyone can ever pull off nor should ever attempt, I just fell for his voice. The rest is just history, as they say. I've found some of his demos and stuff he did professionally in theater and there is such a big contrast. His demos are like a mesh of dance, electro-rock and glam rock whereas his theater stuff is so traditional and shows off his vocal ability to such a great extent. This only proves how diverse he really is as a performer. It's nuts. I don't understand it myself.

Then, there's his other side. The one that's only seen after he's slipped out of his flamboyant alter-ego. It's absolutely charming and adorable that he speaks so much about his background and stuff during the Idol Confessionals and how he Googled himself... GAH HE'S JUST ADORABLE IN GENERAL.

He could turn a straight man gay, gay women straight and make straight women confused.

Srsly. I'm perfectly aware that he's got a preference for men (PROVEN) and yet I'm totally attracted to him. Like, I'd-do-him-in-a-heart-beat or I-want-you-coz-you're-so-charming kind of attracted.
SOMETHING SEEMS WRONG HERE.
BUT HOW CAN I NOT WITH THOSE DELICIOUS SEX EYES?! AND SEX STARES. AND WHATEVER THE HELL ELSE THAT MAKES HIM SO DAMN CHARMING.

Hay QT. Adam FTW.

This man can seriously do no wrong in my eyes. Not even those scandalous photos of him (secretly found it delicious). I can only hope that he'll keep raising the bar every week.
Who am I kidding, he's perfect. Except for the whole preference for men thing.... BUT I HONESTLY COULDN'T CARE LESS. REALLY.
(I am actually devastated but let's not let such a minor problem get in the way of his talent.)

The taste of love is sweet when hearts like ours meet.
I fell for you like a child and the fire went wild.

extract from "Dance of Life", a prose from the book "Dancing the Dream"

It is my earliest memory.

Swaying and singing along to words that surpassed my simple 3-year-old vocabulary. A thrill running throughout my body as I grasped that old cassette tape in my chubby hands. The exhilaration I felt when I placed that tape into the gaping mouth of that old radio, glimmering like silver on a pitch black night. It was all I ever listened to. It was my greatest possession at the time other than my Disney and Sesame Street videos. That plastic-like tape encased within another shell of plastic, a wonderful item that played the sounds that shook my very soul. And then there were the video tapes filled with music videos, one with a full-fledged concert, another with a short movie. Oh, how it evoked such a deep joy within me! I never tired of it. It never got old watching the same things or listening to the same things over and over again because I was just in such awe that it just slipped by me. It wasn't just his songs that intrigued me. His dance moves astounded me just the same. The dexterity in which he moved his body was so new to me. I had never known how fluid the human body could be, how smoothly it could transition from one move to the next, how his choreography meshed so well with his music. The bottom line is I was hooked. Line and sinker.

It has been 16 years, but I still feel that old, familiar rush whenever I pop in one of his CD's. I still revel in the genius those records portray. Unlike then, when I didn't understand the lyrics, I now see it as wondrous play on words, filled with such deep thought and significance, becoming all the more powerful once intertwined with their respective melodies. Having said that, his prose and poetry are some of the most touching, imaginative and poignant that I have ever laid eyes upon. The imagery he uses, the themes he touches on. It's something that everyone's able to relate to: Nature. Love. Children. Life. Music. Dance. Human emotions. Things that we are all so familiar with yet never thought about in the manner in which he wrote it.

I couldn't care less about what others say about his actions and appearance.
All I can remember is the influence he had on that 3 year-old.
And how much influence his music still has on me today.

You will always be my King of Pop.

PS: Shut up, haters. Yes, Jia Huey, that includes you.

This season's American Idol is extremely disappointing.

Except for him.
Where have you been all this while, Adam?!

Who cares if he's gay(still hot.)? Who cares if he wears too much makeup for his own good(not everyone can pull off the guyliner look)? Who cares if he's got horrible skin(photoshop baby!)?

Who cares about all of that when his voice is so effing A M A Z I N G and when he's got mind blowing stage presence.

Damn straight I'm only watching AI for him. If he goes, I stop watching.

Yay Adam ilyilyily.

The Academy Is... - The Phrase That Pays.

I just did the unthinkable.
Something that I never thought I would ever get around to doing.

I'm giddy with joy just thinking about it.

On repeat atm; TAI, Cobra, AAR, Fightstar, McFly, FOB, Mraz, Busted, JM and Mayer. There seems to be a pattern emerging. Hmmm.....

I also murdered the Fall Out Boys. Although it wasn't intentional.

They died of sadness because I was broke and couldn't feed them McNuggets. D:

And I really like these lyrics. Go Beckett! ♥

"My eyes can't believe what they have seen.
In the corner of your room you've stockpiled millions of my memories.
Oh Doctor, Doctor, I must have gotten this sick somehow.
I'm going to ask you a series of questions,
And I want them answered on the spot, right now.

Is it serious?
I'm afraid it is.
Am I gonna die?
Well son, death is gonna catch up to all one day,
But yours is coming quicker than ours, than ours.

Some things I may have taken for granted again and again,
well here's what was said then

Hold your head high heavy heart.
So take a chance and make it big,
Cause it's the last you'll ever get.
If we don't take it, when will we make it?
I make plans to break plans,
And I've been planning something big, planning something big, planning.

I never tried to make the best of my time,
When I thought that I had plenty of it.
Is this serious?
I don't know what to think.
Is it all a lie?
Well one thing's for sure
I'm taken back to the glory days when..
When we were kids without a brash or bitter thing to say.

Now my life is one big make it, or break it.

Hold your head high heavy heart
Save your strength for the morning after.
So take a chance and make it big,
Cause it's the last you'll ever get.
If we don't take it, when will we make it?
I make plans to break plans,
And I've been planning something big, planning something big

So take a chance and make it big,
Cause it's the last you'll ever get.
If we don't take it, when will we make it?
I make plans to break plans,
And I've been planning something big, planning something big, planning."
