The way we use language is something we subconsiously change according to our audiences. We have a whole variety of built in voices, and we use the one that will be effective and will connect with whoever we are speaking to. For example, think of a kindergarten teacher who uses a certain voice with young children, but then changes that voice outside of that environment. When we can adapt and change for audiences, then we are effective communicators. If that same teacher talked to everyone the way she talked to her students, she would be a poor communicator.

Adam is a strong communicator, and it shouldn’t be a surpise that he shifts languages for audiences as seamlessly as he shifts octaves. My son, a musician as well, never swears around me, but when he is interviewed for music blogs, his language changes and becomes the language that those type of listeners understand and get. When I read those interviews, I read the “f- word” here and there. Does it mean he is any less nice or any less respectful with me, or with with people who don’t use language that way? No.

Adam knows when swearing is inappropriate, and for the most part, keeps it back during those times. (What the “f” is this?) The times when it spills over, let’s dance bitches at an AI show, (when his music and performance language spilled into the family audience arena,) come when he is so excited about what he is doing that the filter is over-ridden for a moment, and end up contributing to the edgy with a smile image that seems to fascinate many.

The reality? Adam is both people- the nice guy and the edgy guy. Mainly, he knows when to be which side, and mostly merges the two, my favorite presentation. Still, when everyone is following his every move and spoken word, the audiences will be less seperated, and the language of those two worlds is bound to collide from time to time. If we think he is “soft and sweet,” and a part of him is, we should also know that sometimes he will be a bit “rough.” And it will all be for our entertainment.

True enough, but does he feel like he’s better than his fans?

Hmm, I don’t see this being about the fans at all. I think it’s about what cards you wanna play. We all got really sick of the dead-wife card the production played with Danny for example. I think Adam wanted to play his performance card, his musical vision card.

Although I like the entertainment value of scrutinizing every detail of a reality show contestant, it was refreshing that in Adam’s case his trump card was not life struggle (those he’s had plenty I’m sure), it was not adversity (ditto) and it was not family tragedy (sad and real though that may be for other contestants). No for him, the money play was and always will be true talent and wow-factor performances. It’s grass roots talent show stuff that is actually very rare these days I think!

More than anything, ‘For Your Entertainment’  bares the stamp of a born entertainer. So sit back, relax and enjoy the show.

Man, I wish these people would learn proper word usage before they publish ‘“ it’s ‘bears’ , not ‘bares’ . I don’t see any nudity (sadly).

I also fucking hate it when they use “reign” instead of “rein”!

I did and whataya want from me is fantastic.

sidewalkstory, you have to blast it really loud!

will do!

Question of the day:

His response is so precious. In my heart I want all good things for this boy!

By the way, is this a way to train fans to go to AO? Does Sony make more money by selling it directly and getting rid of the middle man (ITUNES, AMAZON)?

By the way, I’m going to cut and paste this and move it to the other thead because according to WILL, no one may be here anymore.

Also the itunes deluxe album has 2 bonus downloads’ ¦i believe it’ll be the same to as on AO.

Is that true? I thought MP was on AO only? I got that impression from earlier comments.

ETA: NVM, peeps in the other thread answered the question. (Not that anyone is still reading this thread.)
