Ha! My son was on our only computer last night and I was actually pacing while waiting for him to get off! I was asking myself what I did in my spare time only a few months ago.

Of course, I'm caught up in the Adam Lambert Watch, so that's got me chained to my computer. I'm also a publisher and watching the blogs is crucial to our marketing and search for content.

I used to be about "reading in the sun" and taking time to "breathe." Those times seem like the good ol' days. I'm not sure I could go back. And I didn't realize that I should even try to go back until I read your article. :-)

Adam is AMAZING@! He is so talented and has entertained us all season. He has earned the Idol crown. Vote Adam@! I am also proud of Adam because I work for the VA and while Adam was home he went to Miramar to sing for the troops and their families. He also visited the kids at his high school drama and signing departments and went back to the performing arts center where he started performing. He is truly the most talented and should win American Idol Vote Adam!

There seems to be this assumption that Middle America will not vote for Adam because they might question his sexuality. I have more faith in America than that. I think Adam will win because is more talented and a better performer. His choices including what to do when he returned home have impressed me and I believe will impress people in Middle America. He is the BEST choice, in my opinion, to win American Idol.

If you are a Kris fan there is a reason you should not vote for him. Kris will forever have to live in the shadow of knowing that the best singer did not win. This is not a popularity contest it is a singing contest, the singer that preformed the best over the course of this contest should win. That man is not Kris it is Adam Lambert. The voices do not compare. The opera experts were asked in a San Diego News Network article by Valerie Scher to comment on Adams voice. “Adam has tenor-like qualities along with some of the darker shadings of a baritone. He can also soar into the stratosphere with a fearless falsetto. Lean, supple and attractive, his voice is versatile enough for a variety of styles. And his attentiveness to pitch, phrasing and breath control indicates he’s combining his musical instincts with a firmly grounded technique.” “Adam’s diction in this song (Track of My Tears) is impeccable, something that’s the hallmark of a great singer in any genre (Frank Sinatra and Ella Fitzgerald come to mind, but also Renee Fleming and Bryn Terfel). That ability helps him to bend syllables and color certain words, making the communication of the overall song a joy to experience.” No one can twist reality so much as to suggest that Kris out sang Adam. Kris is a sweet religious guy, the kind of guy that will be bothered by the nagging knowledge that his friend would have easily won had not other issues came into play. I have no doubt if by chance Kris does win he will tell the world that Adam was the better singer, because in his heart of hearts he knows that and so does everyone that has watched this show. If it were my son, friend, brother or as a fan, I would not want him to win that way.

I am from rural Middle America. One of those horrible dreaded country music conservatives and I am so excited! I abandoned my rock and roll roots years ago because of new artist Mediocrity. It's like classic rock just faded except with the aging artists that still have the ability to please. Adam is the real deal. He is a ledged in the making whose name will be mentioned in the same sentence as all of the great artists of our time. We should be honored to actually be witnessing his introduction to the world! Adam has already won…our ears and our hearts! He is truly a talented and kind individual by all accounts and would actually bring legitimacy to American Idol if he wins. If he does not win that is okay too because we will bring legitimacy to Adam when we buy his music and go to his concerts. The people will speak with their actions as they open their wallets all over the world! 

Wow. People can't even stay on the subject Michelle wrote about, instead they froth over 6 words from this article.

This weekend, take a day, take a deep breath and step away from everything electonic. Get out in the sunshine, you need some vitamin D.

Taking a breather might actually make you stay on subject when commenting about a thoughtful article.
