I just couldn't help myself and had to devote a thread to the most amazing performance of American Idol's eight seasons. Of all Adam's performances, this is the one that stands out to me as legendary. The first time I saw it, I was shocked. I really didn't know what to think. I just stared at the television screen when it was over, thinking to myself that I did not just see someone do that on American Idol, the cheesiest and most white-bread family show there is. I literally had chills. Then of course I did what many others did...I replayed it....over and over and over again. I couldn't stop watching, becoming more mesmerized with every viewing. It was official. My Adam obsession had begun. The vocals were insanely perfect, haunting even. The outfit was, in one word, sexy. The body language was perfectly and seductive. The arrangement was daring. There was no one else in my mind who could have pulled this off in the exact way Adam did. This performance completely set him apart from the rest of the pack. The best part of all was how divided the country was on this performance. There were those like me who thought it was the most miraculous 90 seconds they'd ever witnessed. Then there were those who thought it was pitiful, insulting, 'ear piercing', disastrous, and about 1000 more negative descriptors you can think of. To get such strong emotions on complete opposite ends of the spectrum is something only true artists in this day-of-age can do. I think about that now. The reaction. The controversy. The speculation. The adoration. Adam will be iconic indeed.

Certainly my favorite. Too bad he had to rein it in after that.

For me it was Whole Lotta Love. I still can't believe they slipped those adult lyrics past the PG-13 censors! The performance was way past what I ever expected to see on cheesy AI.

Yes, Ring of Fire was unbelievable. It was so freakishly daring (the judges were too old/narrow-minded to give it its due), so innovative. Really took AI to a new level, helping it be a show about pushing music FORWARD, not being stuck in the freakin' 50s. Whole Lotta Love was similarly passionate and I love that performance, too. Definitely my two favorite ones. The guy is just so charged, so passionate and so unapologetic about it! He really brought a whole new level of much-needed energy to the show with these two songs. No one else comes close to his genuis, not even the much-hyped Heartless. |
