I heart Adam Lambert

So, I wasnt following American idol cos they arent playing it on Oz TV yet, but I happened upon a news headline on the internet something like “down to earthness beats out showmanship” and a picture of Adam Lambert, the runner up, and Kris Allen, the winner.  And something didnt sit right with me about the headline - the runner up had an aura that was something deeper than just “showmanship” . And i could almost feel through the picture a connection between these two men - a loving connection.

So I checked it out - you can watch any clip you want on Fox online.

And i confirmed for myself, that something else was going on.  Adam Lambert…well I now have a girl crush on him (I'm 43). 

To me, I see in him a dark angel.  His androgyny is delicious.  His eyes are an old loving soul.  His voice is a mere huge gift with which to play on earth, the range is rare, the falsetto is full and ethereal, the baritone is sexy and firm.  He astonishes and I love that state.

At 27, he seems to have come to terms with himself to a stronger degree than most; and started to express who he is, from his thick shock of emo hair to his fancy tight pants. There's a comfortableness in his smile, in his resting back in himself.

At 43 I feel I am only starting to go into that world of outer manifestation and artictic self expression in a deeper way and I honour anyone who courageously inspires me on that journey.  He dazzles, and glimmers, and I love the radiance in him. I feel his big heart and deep sweetness. I like his playful sneer.

I love that he came up through the establishment of popular culture - American idol. i love that contrast of that and the coming together of opposites.  In that conseravtive context he shook up the way people were feeling, woke a deeper current in many. He highlighted the conventionality of the mainstream - other talented singers suddenly looked “good but somehow a bit same old same old” 

I love his potential “outcast” archetype and the odd juxtapsition of that with kindness and connectivity.  I like the complexity of that, the integrality of that.

I love that America almost made him number 1 - it had an obama-style oddness about it - you guys are gittin wierd and I love it.

Re: I heart Adam Lambert

I'm glad I read the post itself because you added some edits that were not in my Notification of the post.

Wow, I am so glad for you that you feel this way. I sometimes run across a public figure who inspires a similar “crush” in me, as I see in that person a spiritual depth and other wonderful qualities. What a marvelous job you did describing what catches you!!!!!!!!

And I can immediately see all you say about his effect on the world, and the sociological context for it all. Thank you thank you for your perceptiveness and the courage to share this personal response !!!!! I feel enriched and uplifted!!

I don't own a TV and am not inspired to find any video or pics of this guy online. I will take your word for it!!!!!

Blessings, OM Bastet
