I can’t get that song out of my head!!!

Pretending to transgress in this way is certainly nothing new — look at gangsta rap. The problem is when impressionable kids go from playing with the archetype, to actually trying it out in real-life.

I hate candy-coated sentimentality and fake uplift also, on the other end. but artists can say and embody things that really matter and inspire kids also.

maybe in his own way Adam is doing it by virtue of coming out, and sending the message to kids that it’s OK to be who you really are — and it’s ok to play with different looks and flamboyant fun. but I guess it’s up to us other adults to say, as a real-life option, hooking and hustling are very bad career moves….

OMGGGG This is gonna be fantastic! the clothing of the dancers is VERY Zodiac show!! and with the cane Adam looks like a pimp!! hahah maybe he’s gonna be a pimp in the video, pimping the boys and the girls LMFAO CANNOT WAIT!!!

I think kids who talk this way don’t really know what a pimp is. If you hang out with some strung-out streetwalkers beat up by their pimps, maybe you might have a different notion about pimps. Yes I have seen that world, yes I have worked in drug programs, yes I’ve been around. I think kids these days watch rap videos and have a distorted idea of what a pimp is and what a thug is. Hit men are glamourized, mafia, and pimps. (And by the way I’m a lifelong liberal so don’t write me off as one of those “overly conservative” people you guys keep talking about. I’ve never heard that expression before, “overly conservative,” what does it mean? Anyone who has any criticism of Adam or the video is “overly conservative”? Sounds like a way to dismiss other people’s viewpoints.)

Pimps are leeches who live off of women and keep them beaten down. I think many young people have never met or known real pimps, just some glamourized version on MTV.

Uh, ok. But isn’t there something between Disney and chains, butts and leather? There’s plenty of great music for all ages — and I’m not talking the Jonas Brothers here, but U-2, Coldplay, David Cook, and many others…

But I guess I am sort of a fogey, because Madonna did change everything. I’m not sure for the better either — not for offending anyone’s morality (I don’t give a damn), but for toying with very sexualized images, nudity and reveling in trashy theatrics. It’s just for fun and not hurting a soul. It also does nothing for me.

But I stand corrected — here at least, digging Adam appears to be a mother-daughter thing. I can’t help but marvel at this….and find it sort of amusing and somewhat curious…I’m old enough to remember when such imagery was not in the mainstream, unless it was explicitly NOT gay.
Who can explain the rules of attraction anyway? If you and your kids get a kick out of it, enjoy….

I’m not so sure Moms are going to be buying this album (and this persona) for their pre-teens for the holidays’ ¦

I don’t think Adam is shooting for the pre-teen market. There’s already so many, Miley, Jonas bros., Justin barber, Emmy lovatto….list goes on.

Can’t speak for moms with pre-teens but as the mom of a 15 year old she’s been very clear that she wants Adam’s CD the minute it comes out. She thinks he’s gorgeous and loves his voice.

I’m hopeful that moms of pre-teens (meaning 12 and under) understand that Adam’s a 27 year old MAN and that he’s not supposed to be catering to their children with his music. Nor is he supposed to censor himself for their comfort. that’s what Disney music is for.

Nothing about ‘bondage’  that Adam’s stalkers/fans say ‘“ all about sexy is what was in the news article today. that’s good, cause sexy is sizzling and bondage is ick, yuk,puke.

Don’t knock being tied up until you’ve tried it LOL… there is bondage and then there is S&M.. and there is a difference and there are varying degrees within each kink.
