From one mom to another...thank you for posting this.  I have been a fan of Adam's since day one.  I'm a mom, a grandmom and have been even called a 'cool' mom a time or two.  LOL  For the most part, I have fairly conservative views on most things but one thing I know for sure.  I would be proud to have Adam as a son or a friend.  In fact, in some ways, he reminds me of my own 19 year old son.  Confident, comfortable with himself, polite-polite-polite and a beautiful soul with a beautiful smile.  As for talent, Adam not only has it, he has 'IT' and much more.  Many of my peers poke fun of the outfits, the hair and the black nail polish.  But they have a small view when it comes to music, talent, genius and showmanship.  Adam has blown me away with his talent and his outfits and the way he reinvents himself for every number.  Someone else said it on the boards...even if Adam isn't the American 'Idol', he will be an American 'icon' and appreciated around the world for his talent.  As for myself, I cannot wait to see him in concert, on broadway, in Vegas, rockin' it out on stage anywhere, anytime.  I just want them to get through this tour so he can break out and get going on his career!!!  He is a true class act. 

Love, Kindness, acceptance, honesty & compassion.  These are the qualities of a winner.

You are OUR winner ADAM. 

Congratulations !!!!

I am a mom of 3 boys (7,6 and 5). They are big fans to. I am so glad that they have such a wonderful person to look up to. Adam is everything I hope my boys will be. Caring, kind, humble, appreciative, well I could go on and on, but we all know Adam's good qualities.

Bumping up the positive!

I'm a grandmother of five and I too have to thank Adam for entering AI.  You have made this season so exciting and something to look forward to each week.  During this rough economic time you have been beyond a shadow of doubt the most uplifting artist who gave us something to think about besides the bad times.  You have been a BRIGHT LIGHT during one of the darkest times of this century.  Thank you from the bottom of our hearts to give us a smile and to hear the voice of a true performer.  Also thank you for choosing to sing "It's A Mad World".  Without a doubt it was what shot you to the top and got everyone talking both young and old.  One of my all time favorite groups was Tears For Fears so the choice of that song was ultimate in my book.  I might be just a little prejudiced as our family met Tears For Fears several years before they even had their first hit when they first came to our country and we spent allot of time together just learning about each other's country.  Never would have dreamed they would become as popular as they did.  I hope in the future you sing another one of their songs because your voice is so perfect for their style and I really hate to admit it but Adam you made their song even more beautiful.  Very good choices last night, I really have to hand it to you because I think you drew in more of a variety of people young and old into your fold because of the choices you made and your artistic touch on the songs.  Oh and I know some people didn't like Kara's song but I think the way YOU sang it really made the song and I loved it.  Win or lose you are a winner no matter what and I can't wait to see you in Phoenix for the tour.  Thank God I have great seats.  I may be disabled and my family was trying to discourage me from going because they know it will be a true trial of pain for me to go but just seeing you in person and listening to you sing and most of the other's in the group will be my medicine for the pain.  We love you and thank you for your talent.

This was a beautiful letter and I do hope he gets to see this, esperially about being a bright light, hopefully someone he knows will  copy all these messages for him
