No matter what you think of our National Anthem as a song, it's something that I hold dear. The ONLY thing that bothered me about Adam's performance was the hooting (and some sign waving) from the audience while he was singing. Even more so, since it was at a military base. Adam did a beautiful job on it. There are many interpretations, some work, some don't. Forgot to mention … No matter what you think of our National Anthem as a song, it’s something that I hold dear.

GB is Mac software that comes with all new Macs (part of the iLife bundle). Setting up the computer consists of finding (very little) desk space and plugging it in. The monitor and computer are all the same unit. It's pretty awesome. I'm a Mac junkie :) Heart wrote …

All three do and I think they are so deserving of this to make it so far in the competition. They all seem to be touched by it and I am glad they all feel so much love. At first I was worried coz Southern Cali wouldn't be so excited about this but it turned out to be a great event as well, more intimate, and great messages to the kids. I think people will see Adam in a new light after watching his homecoming package and he may gain some new fans. The military base thing I thought is awesome! And can we say what a nice job to San Diego? I read somewhere that they didn't know until a few days before that Adam's homecoming would be in SD not LA. So really they only had a short time to pull it together and they have done a nice job! The reporters are well spoken. Weather girl/fangirl is hilarious. And I think radio interviews are great.

I was making a joke and making fun of the SSB-- the song itself-- and the fact that it is my country's national anthem. I wasn't dissing anyone's particular rendition of the anthem. Many people think a different song would be more appropriate for the anthem because the SSB is in fact set to the tune of an old English drinking song.

Nice to let others know he has a strong, lower range. And as many have said up thread, nice not having to cringe as he hit the higher note(s) spot on. He is a sweetheart, and it seems he enjoyed his "Adam Lambert Day" back in San Diego, which is really what matters to me. I liked Adam’s version of the SSB.
