No big deal... sorry to be kind of a downer on this thread. I'm rather out of it now. Long day.
Hopefully this performance will make its way online. I would like to see it.
But Chris, your screen name is looooooooooooooooooooooooong!!!
And not easily abbreviated! What am I supposed to call you on here, "can't"?
It's cool.
"Hopefully this performance will make its way online. I would like to see it."
I hope so to. I'd like to see it again cuz I forgot to record it.

I hope it gets online, too. I missed it.
Good question Lael. Hmm, I don't know. I wish there was a way to put my name in there. I don't know. But I know you can come up with something good. You're good at that.
You could make an avatar that has your name on it...
Wow, I missed out on so much while I was at work!! I just have to say what a great idea I think it was to write the View, I am so going to do that tonight!! And I totally agree with most of the comments about the actual show, like about how short it was, Adam's suit, how wonderful is was to see him on National TV singing his own stuff, and the list goes on and on!
Also, I just had to share how funny it was that at 11 o'clock I literally had every person I know that was watching the View, call me on my cell phone and my work phone at the same time to make sure I knew about Adam on TV. I guess I have done a sufficent amount of gushing about him, to make everyone in MI aware that if he is on TV, for any reason to call me.
I am going to be in trouble once the Rent promo's get going, my phone will not stop ringing, well I guess that is not a bad thing if it means Adam on TV.
Ooh, I could. That's a great idea. But then I'd have to change my pic, and it's got my beautiful Jess on there.
You could, uh, make one of Jess that has both of your names on it...I guess.
That could work. See I knew you'd come up with something. You're good at that. I heart you.
I heart you too! I'm SO glad I started that expression over on ffnet...
I sent an email! Everyone do the same!
Okay, I just watched it again. Three times. My mother is going to confiscate that tape soon...
anyway, am I losing it, or is a verse missing from that song? I'm going to have to watch it and follow along with the lyrics in a minute.
Me too Lael. Very much so.
"I sent an email! Everyone do the same!"
I did already. One to each of them. And I agree. Everyone do the same.
As did I! I actually copied and pasted the same email to each of them...not like they'll compare, or anything.
Gah. I'm so proud. Can't get over itttttt!
Funny. I have a friend that I don't see much because she lives far away, but she called me at 11. "Hey, I know you probably know about this since you're like... his biggest fan ever, but ARE YOU WATCHING THE VIEW?!?!!" I was honored!

I sent emails, even though I didn't see the show!
But the more emails we send, the better the chance he'll be back on there and then you can see him Allie. :)
We're all such good fans.... everyone should be so lucky.
Indeed emcee, indeed.
I was just watching my tape and besides the very opening, did they talk about him in the beginning? there was some security check on my tape!
At the VERY beginning of the show there were clips from Bway.com's video from Joe's Pub, 11/13. They said something about how he blew Broadway audiences away in Rent, AIDA and Cabaret, and now he's stepping out on his own, etc.
Do all stars have the same kind of rabid following that Adam does? Because I've been crazy about people before, but...it's different!
That's a good question. I mean, I've always been a huge fan of Bryan Adams, but it's definitely not the same.
Emcee, I don't have a tape, but I'm pretty sure the whole second verse and chorus were left out. The fact that no one's commented about it before now tells me that it didn't matter much. It seemed the right length for this kind of performance.
