After tonight's Idol performance i couldn't help but think of him doing more than justice to the role of Frank N. Furter. He cavorts around better than Tim Curry ever could. Possibly in the next revival. Idols on Broadway !

well, if he did it, it would def. be The Rocky Horror Show
and its a shame that the movie remake will probably begin filming before he is available to do it, but, I do agree

Okay, nobody call him gay, or Charlie will come in here and get REEEEAL defensive.

"He cavorts around better than Tim Curry ever could."

No way.

He'd be better as riff, with all that screaming he does.

why don't they just make the movie remake out of American Idol contestants? Because, now that I think about it, Allison would be a pretty kick-*** Magenta

Adam doesn't DO musicals.

I would agree that he would be a much better Riff-Raff. His voice doesn't seem right for Frank, I think.

[yeah]

Let us not forget, he won't ever do theatre; after all, it was just a day job, as he so ashamedly mentioned it in an earlier interview.

Boy, I'd give my left pinkie toe for that "day job."

His voice has NOTHING to do with casting him as Frank N. Furter.

You guys really piss me off.

you tired out old queens who know this man is ten times as talented as your washed up butts could ever be, and you make fun of him.

Grow up

I never said he was untalented.

[TimeSquare3]

Yeah, no one called him untalented. It's that he spat on people's dream, passing it off as just a job.

He should be the one to grow up and admit to his theatre roots.

But some of you just sit here and bash him.

It just like.. cant some of you be happy for him?

[Trish2]

Posted: 3/10/09 at 10:29pm

This post wasn't meant to bash. The boy is talented. I just happened to think of Frank N. Furter tonight. Hey, I love (d) Mick Jagger, and he cavorted like no one's business as well.

I only made fun of Charlie's creepy obsession with him.

Annas_Priest, I agree.

Btw, Adam did admit to his theatre roots. He said he did it ever since he was a kid and loved it. And he said that he believes that him being considered theatrical is not derogatory.

[TimeSquare3]

Show me anywhere where he said that he "loved" it.

Heeeere we go again.

THE ROCKY HORROR PICTURE SHOW = film-version

THE ROCK HORROR SHOW = stage version

He said it in the episode with the San Francisco auditions. There may be a video of it on youtube. He was talking about how he first got into musical theatre.

He's creepy. Sorry, anyone who spends that much time branding themselves is stupid.

Grow up

You precede "grow up" with calling those who aren't fond of Adam tired out washed up old queens? Sounds pretty hypocritical to me. Adam is talented, but not my cup of tea. He's got a great voice, but I don't care for his style of singing or performance and I think his look is horrendous. That certainly does not make me a tired out washed up old queen. It makes me a person who is secure in his tastes and opinions. So what?

Adam knows he's talented enough to earn a living in musical theatre, but it's not what he wants to do. That's pretty much what I got out of his statements. It's not a big deal. Not everybody in theatre has to share the same dreams. Funny how nobody bashes all those television and movie actors who do film just so they can afford to do theatre. Is it because we are all supposed to look down on film? Who is in charge of popular opinion around this place? Guess you can only have BWW-approved dreams around here. Pffft!

Ok, see, I take issue with that. Just because he's said that he doesn't wish for his popular music career to be related to musical theater, doesn't mean "doesn't do musicals"! Obviously he enjoys doing theater, seeing as he's been doing it since he was 10 years old. All he was saying is that in the grand scheme of things, his larger goal was always to do more mainstream music. It's not a crime to want to do things in the entertainment industry beyond just theater! haha


So, until the day when he has no other music-related job options to fall back on and he still passes up a great Broadway gig just because "he's too good for theater", I don't so much think that statement is merited

I'd like to think that, if he didn't have a ton of options available to him in terms of doing pop music, and he was approached about an awesome Broadway role like that of Frank N. Furter, he would take it in a heartbeat!

But it's just that the thing is, it's almost guaranteed at this point that he WON'T be running out of pop music options any time soon. And, if provided the option between doing music and doing theater he'd choose music, there's nothing wrong with that! Don't be an uppity theater snob about it- not EVERYONE has to think theater is the ultimate be all end all of the entertainment world :P There's nothing wrong with preferring to do music if given the choice! Doesn't mean he doesn't really enjoy theater, and it doesn't mean he wouldn't come back to it at some point in the future.

Creepy I'll readily accept. But how is it stupid to be savvy enough to go along with the branding of the mainstream media when you're trying to market yourself to the public? That's what this whole "oh I'm not just musical theatre!" thing is about. Considering a musical-ignorant public is harping on how musical theatre the dude is, he kind of has to do something to downplay that aspect of his performance.

I mean, regardless of what he said and how dismissive or ignorant it was? He'll be back to musical theatre. And Broadway isn't going to turn him down, especially if his American Idol exposure continues as steadily as it seems it might.
