Ok, just for the record:
This whole notion that Adam himself thinks he's "too good for Broadway" is just simply not true at all. He's made
numerous references to the ways in which his theater training has helped him as a performer, and has mentioned that he really enjoys it. I've never gotten the impression that he in any way looks down on musical theater. It's just simply not what he'd ultimately
prefer to do in the long run, that's all. I don't see anything wrong with the fact that his ultimate dream of a perfect career isn't to be a huge Broadway star :) Just because it's not doesn't mean he doesn't fully
appreciate the talent that can be found in musical theater. And again, it doesn't even mean that he didn't enjoy it. It just means that his personal preference, if given the chance, would be to be a recording artist instead. And now he's getting the chance to do that! So yeah, I doubt he'll be doing much theater for a while at least, but not because he's some arrogant snob who doesn't appreciate theater. It's just that now he's going to have tons of options open to him, and theater may not be one of his personal top preferences :)
ALSO:
If Adam Lambert is done with musical theater, then good riddance. I personally don't find him to have much talent (there are much better people on Idol -um Lil Rounds?! Yes please-) and he (from what I've heard) already has a huge ego. I don't know... Good luck to him in the recording industry but I am not a fan. I'll take Danny Goeke and the fantastic Lil Rounds over him any day of the week. ... I'm going to hold my tongue about Lil because obviously you're totally entitled to your opinion haha. I'll just leave it at I completely disagree on that front :P As for the ego, to ME at least (but I think also to most people who watch the show), Adam comes across as remarkably
humble and sweet. No ego that I can see at all. He's consistently polite, seems to get along really really well with all the other contestants, and just in general seems remarkably modest when taking critiques and stuff. His
performance style may be a bit self indulgent (something he's completely recognized himself), but he seems to leave that persona behind the minute the performance ends :) If you want to talk ego, see Danny (or Lil..sorry, but come on now. She's
constantly talking back to the judges haha)
Oh and just for the record... I thought Ring of Fire was awesome *hides* haha. Totally weird? yes. But awesomely weird! :P
I don't need a life that's normal. That's way too far away. But something next to normal would be okay. Something next to normal is what I'd like to try. Close enough to normal to get by.
