Cancelations by ABC

I am so shocked that ABC has continued to cancel Adam's performances. They will come to regret it! In this day and age when any child can watch some pretty nasty stuff on prime TV (just watch the soaps) and more so, the vh channels that have very specific lyrics that most kids just laugh at now, not become shocked. I wish Adam had chosen one of his amazingly beautiful songs like "Come Home" or "I Can't make you love me". He actually has too MUCH talent to be on ABC anyway. Some of the s*** I see on there by other artists, like Michael Jackson (who has been given angel status now, in spite of this fascination with children and his obcessive crotch grabbing.) ABC cannot affort to cancel Jackson performances. They would lose too much money! In the end, it is about money with them. That is why I say, they will regret these cancelations, because most of the video that I have seen (to include prior AI video.) has become classic already, and most Adam Fans know exactly where to find them ... Citizen Vein, Upright Cabaret, and a number of other amazingly beautiful songs. Adam, if you really do read this, please know that you have already arrived. People are already hating you for your success. I wonder who is performing in Adam's spot... could it be Kris (ah shucks) Allen?
Adam has an amazing gift! I've been around awhile (I'm a grandma) and the last time I witnessed this much talent, this much carisma, this much excitment from one human being, it was elvis. I can remember when my friends and I could not get enough of elvis. We would walk come from school and stop by the local drugstore to look at all the latest photos of elvis .... remember guys? Adam can "create" the elvis look if he wants to, but his own look is absolutely unique. It has been years since I have heard a voice like adams. We have had ten to 15 years of hiphop, filled with nothing more than filth. This is not music - it is noise! Adam's song "Music Again" really hit home for me. I can't believe all the grief he was subjected when this OPENLY GAY kissed a boy!
I am taking in all the Adam excitment from a much different perspective. Take away the grinding sex, take away the snakes, take away the leather clothing and the big hair and you still have a voice like pure gold. If you turned on your radio one night back in 1955 and heard Adam's voice, you would have experienced the same connection with an iconic up-and-coming star as we all saw on american idol. There was no question in my mind who had the best voice. Adam has much more than talent ... he has star quality beyond anything I have seen Elvis, and maybe the Beatles, although the Beatles were famous on a different level. They were together, and it's easier to deal with fame when you share it with someone. Adam will have more bumps in the road, I am sure. Once someone claws their way to the top (i.e. Michael Jackson) there seems to be so many who cannot wait until he is back on the bottom, being ground to death under foot. It apears that Adam has a good family (?) and he seems pretty intelligent and stable.
His voice ... no matter what he sings ... is a gift beyond measure, so enjoy guys. ENJOY!
Adam, I love you
