it was never going to be a good idea

[lexzilla]

to stay up until half four in the morning, when you're already tired, to watch Adam at the AMAs. You end up slightly hysterical and sending odd pm's to moorspede along the lines of 'ahhhh I'm to emotionally invested which way is up who am I did that just happen'. And the going even further off the rails by deciding that as you have a meeting at 9.45am, it would be better to power through staying up all night then getting only a few hours sleep. *facepalm*

My thoughts are the performance are still all over the place. Maybe I'll be more coherent after sleep?

The bad - Adam can sing like no one else I've heard in a long long time. You would not know that from this performance :( But you know what makes him all the more awesome, he owned that on twitter.

The good - The performance. Adam still sounded okay and he is one balls-of-steel fierce mofo. Stage show was EPIC! AND GLORIOUS. AND THE MOST PERFECT ROCK'N'ROLL MOMENT of an otherwise bland and dreary show [with the exception of Gaga who is growing on me].

The genius - Love him or hate him, who is anyone talking about? And I think that's just how he likes it. And how he's using it to make smart points about gender, performance and equality. Here's your politics OUT magazine!

The hideous - Here's what I really find offensive. People are complaining about their kids seeing Adam's gay sexcapades rather then Eminem rapping about how many rapes he's got under his belt. REALLY PEOPLE?

The pretty - he brought it <3

In conclusion: I love this man!

LOL. And that's why I insist in not knowing a thing.

Oh man. I hate those moral majority panics that sweep countries from time to time. Why haven't we evolved past this yet? It seems so old.

That's true. I remember it only really being The Daily Show that questioned the politics and it was a sad time for the news when a comedy show was being less 'toe-the-line-talking-points' then them. There's some really interesting stuff about the Iraq news coverage in that 'Flat News Earth' book I read, talking about how stories like the ones about torture where ignored or buried by papers for a long time until there was deemed to be enough anti-war sentiment that it would help sales/not hurt advertising to print it.

Nope, unfortunately I can see us as little old ladies waving our walking sticks around at the state of things.

Ahh still saying that I could kiss Jon Stewart on the mouth... Without tongue... *s*

I'm still in early days of Idol "watch the whole thing". Ep 18! "Kris, you you may be too humble to become the Idol", Adam, some parts of that song were horrible." Blah blah blah.

I'd use tongue!

Hahaha. You really can't do too many in one go. And yet no 'Danny you are an egocentric douche! Desist with the shouting'.
