Hey people! If you're confused about the title of this journal, I shall enlighten you. It's a line from one of Adam Lambert's songs, Fever. It's probably THE best or second best song on his album, just to let you know. Anyway, I'm very happy cus the dvd of the play Wicked (with Adam as the oh so amazing Fiyero
) has finally made it to our house and I'm getting a giant poster of the Adam Rolling Stone cover. It's gonna be a great chanukah
As some of you know, I entered an "Adam Lambert's Top 10 Fans" contest recently....I found out that my entry never actually got sent it, which makes me pissed cus i would've won otherwise. stupid ass computer. but nothing i can do about it now. and i'll post my entry later in this journal. its kinda long, but not nearly as long as what i COULD'VE said. it could've been MUCH longer, so think of this as the 'abridged' version of my thoughts
also, some parts sound a little corny, i know, feel free to laugh if you want
Recently, i have learned the horrors of conditioning for lacrosse. It's one of the worst things i've ever done in my life. i can't run worth shit, but i need to get in shape so i'm doing it. only like 9 out of 30 people came to conditioning. i guess the coach will think we're the more committed players lol and i was the only goalie there, cus im just that awesome. i think so you think you can dance is on right now, but im too lazy to get up and go downstairs to watch it
oh well, i'll get down there sooner or later. i think i'm gonna name my kids Adam and Fiyero if i have two boys. that'd be pretty amazing
i dont know what i'd name girls. havent thought of that yet....whatever. i learned tonite that my dad will be buying a beach house in ocean city, and said that im free to invite friends to go stay there for a week or so during the summer if i'd like. would'nt that just be spiffy? i think so lol. i think now its about time you guys take in the awesomeness (?) that is my adam lambert fan entry.....i guess lol. well, here you go:
Ok, let’s turn on some Adam Lambert music before we start, and…..here we go!
Hey, my name’s Francesca Beller, I’m 14 years old, and I live in Ashburn, Virginia. So, why do I love Adam?
I love Adam, first off, because of his absolutely amazing voice. When I was watching the season 8 San Francisco auditions and saw Adam, I was immediately like, “Damn! He’s hot!” Then when he started singing I was like,”Holy. Shit.” I was shaking and totally freaking out. I turned to my dad and said, “He’s going to win.” My dad didn’t agree. When Hollywood Week began, my life was revolving around the Tuesday night American Idol. I would go around school wearing either my “Adam Is My Idol” or my “I Love Adam” shirts. Most people didn’t know who Adam was by then. I would get weird looks when I went through the halls. But I didn’t care. It was Adam for god’s sakes. As soon as I got home from school everyday, I would go onto the DVR on my TV and re-watch Adam’s performance from the last week. Time seemed to move extra slow Tuesdays and Wednesdays after school. At about 7:45 on those nights, it would be prep time. I would get in my PJs, go downstairs to the flat screen, and plant myself on the couch. Nothing was going to make me budge. My dad thought I was insane or something. Then, finally, the classic American Idol theme would come on. I could never stop myself from having the biggest grin on my face. Whenever Adam came on screen, I would usually squeal. One time I even waved at the TV. I probably looked like a complete idiot. His performances were absolutely flawless and original and the best things I’d ever seen. Ring of Fire was probably one of my favorites. He started with that damn sexy look towards the camera. Then when he got to the final chorus and hit that high note on the word “flames”, I was absolutely entranced. One of my other favorites was Mad World (didn’t everyone love it?). I was crying while watching him sing that. Adam just puts so much emotion into his performances. No singer ever made me feel the way Adam makes me feel. Every Tuesday night I would text vote at least a hundred times and I would force my mom to keep calling the phone lines. Then it was the finale. I can’t even describe how nervous and excited I was. I was shaking so much and sweating (nice image, I know) and I was just like, “There’s no way Adam could lose.”
Apparently I was wrong.
When Ryan said Kris’s name, I just froze. I couldn’t’ even react. I just sat there staring at the screen. My mom kept asking, “Are you alright?” I just kept nodding. Then, I burst out sobbing uncontrollably. I was crying because I was happy AND sad, though. Happy because since Adam didn’t win he wouldn’t create completely generic music like all the other winners of American Idol. Sad because, for one, he absolutely, 100% deserved the title over Kris. But I was REALLY sad because I realized that I didn’t have anything to look forward to on Tuesdays and Wednesdays anymore. So I went to school the next day wearing my Adam Is My Idol shirt and fairing pretty well. That didn’t last very long.
As soon as one of my teacher’s saw me she ran up to me and was like, “Are you okay?!” I just started crying. She took me into her room and shut the door. She just gave me a tissue box and let me cry. I sat there for fifteen minutes, crying, and she didn’t mind. When I finally stopped (somewhat), she just said, “If you need somewhere to hide today, just come here.” I smiled and nodded, tears still running down my face. “Well I know Adam has at least one life long fan.” That cheered me up a little. I hardly made it through the rest of the day. I was harassed by Kris fans and other kids and teachers (who knew me as the Adam girl) would always ask if I was okay. But luckily I had a hiding place. Thank you Ms. Cornett.
So now that that story is done, I’ll say why else I love Adam. Adam just seems like the nicest and most genuine person. I’ve seen and read pretty much every interview with him. Adam is so eloquent and he’s so sweet. One quote I’ve seen that I think is just the cutest thing:
Fan: “Thank you for making me feel young again.”
Adam: “It was my pleasure, but when were you ever old?”
Adam has also inspired me to get back into drawing and music. I’ve never been able to draw people before, and I think Adam is the inspiration I needed. I’m getting close to finishing it, and so far I think it’s pretty damn good considering I’m only 14 and have never had art training or have practiced. I also really began playing guitar again. I’ve been playing for four and a half years and I’m now in a band. It’s awesome.
I’ve also finally gotten my mom to watch American Idol after seven years. My mom would REFUSE to watch the show. She said no one on that show was ever interesting. When I showed her Adam, I guess she found was she was looking for all these years.
In the 14 years I’ve been alive, the two best days of my life have been the American Idols Live! tours in Washington DC and Philadelphia. I went to DC armed with my electric guitar, my Rolling Stone magazine, and a silver sharpie. The people at the Verizon Center said the outside meet-and-greet would be at noon, so my mom and I got to the barricades at 11. We waited until noon and the buses hadn’t showed up. Then it was around 100 degrees outside. I was wearing black snake-pattern pants (bought especially for the concert
) and a blue plaid shirt, and my mom and I were taking turns standing in the shade and holding my electric guitar. We ended up talking to these two girls who had a Blackberry with Twitter on it, so we’d ask every five minutes if any of the idols had tweeted. We waited for another hour and a half and finally Michael Sarver tweeted that they’d be there in like five minutes, I started freaking out. Then the buses got there. After waiting for three and a half more hours and the only people we met were Michael Sarver and Matt Giraud. We went back to the hotel and waited until 6. Then we went back to the Verizon Center. The concert was the most amazing thing in my life. Section 2, row 22, seat 1. Near the end of Danny Gokey’s set, I stood up on my chair (I’m 5’ 2”, it helped) and prepared myself for the single greatest moment of my life. Finally, the lights went down and Adam’s name flashed on the screen in an array of white, black, and red lights. I screamed at the top of my lungs and nearly fell off my chair. I took as many pictures as I could. My hands were shaking so much that only half of the pictures were clear. I also took a video of Mad World. I learned shortly afterward that screaming while taking a video is not the best idea…..it gets kind of loud on video. I waited after the show for two and a half hours at the barricades, chatting with other Adam fans. Maybe the employees should’ve told us that none of them could go out and sign stuff earlier than 2 in the morning….
I went home disappointed and happy. Then my mom called me and said she got tickets to the Philadelphia American Idol concert. So we went and when we got there we waited for the meet-and-greet- again. We waited for four hours in 95 degree weather. Adam didn’t come out again. But we had row 10 seats. Section 2, row 10 seat 17. It was amazing. The concert was even better than in DC. Adam even picked up a whip and hit his ass and said “Smack it!” which was the absolute cutest thing I’d ever seen. We waited after the show again and I met everyone except, guess who, Adam. I started crying when we were walking back to the car in the parking lot. The tour was going to Pittsburgh next. Our family has a famous friend named Tom Savini that lives in Pittsburgh, so we could’ve gotten backstage passes probably at the Melon Arena in Pittsburgh. But I had to go to my grandmother’s house for her birthday. I begged and begged my mom to let me go. I didn’t really care if it was her birthday; I had the chance to meet Adam for god’s sakes! In the end, my dad made me go to my grandmother’s.
Now, I promote Adam by: I always post dates and info on Facebook, trying to get other people into Adam. I’ll say like “OMG everyone go listen to Time For Miracles!” or “Everyone should go buy Adam’s CD, For Your Entertainment, on the 23rd”. I’m also a member of Adam’s Starlighters, which promote Adam around the internet. And I’m also part of the Adam Official website. I also force my friends to help me promote Adam. It’s a good thing I got them into Adam or else they’d probably hate me by now (haha).
I believe I deserve to be one of Adam’s top 10 fans because: I always get into fights on Facebook either about who loves Adam more or about his sexuality. I always win the “who loves Adam more” fights. With guys, I always have to defend Adam because guys are usually like, “But he’s a fag!” I’m just like, “Why the fuck does it matter?” I don’t’ see why that matters. His sexuality doesn’t affect his singing people, get over it.
I have around 300 pictures of Adam and own pretty much every magazine he’s been in. I even bought the DVD of the Ten Commandments musical just to see Adam as Joshua. I’m also going to see This Is It just to see the extended version of the Time For Miracles music video, even though it’s not the actual video with him in it, it’s just the song. I’ve already pre-ordered Adam’s CD, but I’m also going to pre-order the collector’s edition and probably go to the CD store at midnight to get it also. I also got the official 2012 poster just because it says “Featuring Time For Miracles performed by Adam Lambert” at the very bottom.
A typical routine for the day is get up, shower, watch Adam Lambert videos on my iPod until I get to school, listen to Adam on my iPod during class, watch more Adam videos on the bus ride home, check Twitter to see if he tweeted (even though I’ll know if he tweeted because I have his tweets coming to my phone), and check the Adam Official website. Then I listen to Adam on my iPod some more. My whole day pretty much revolves around Adam.
When I’m old enough, I plan on getting a tattoo that has something to do with Adam. I was thinking maybe getting his eyes tattooed somewhere. That would be fucking awesome.
I’ve also tried changing my handwriting to look more like Adam’s (and I know that sounds ridiculous). It still doesn’t really look like his, though. I also try doing my makeup exactly like his. Everyday, I read quotes from him that I wrote down, just because I love them. During my sports seasons, I would leave my baseball and lacrosse games early just so I could watch American Idol live and not recorded. I’ve learned how to play Whole Lotta Love on guitar just because Adam sang it.
When I first listened to Time For Miracles, I cried because it’s just so amazing. My friend and I even made a religion called Lambert-olocism. Stupid, I know, but we just love Adam that much. We worship all things Adam Lambert and practice our religion by watching videos of him every single day. I love it J.
My phone background is Adam, my computer background is Adam, the signature for text messages on my phone is “Adam Lambert <3
”, and I even want to get a wall size poster or mural of Adam for my room.
Pretty much everything reminds me of Adam. I was watching a commercial for 90 second rice or something and they said something like, “It’ll be the best 90 seconds your microwave will have.” Then I thought, “Well Adam’s performances on Idol were the best 90 seconds of my week.” Adam is just always on my mind.
Back during Idol, I would draw stuff on my hand having to do with Adam during school. One picture of that is attached. For this contest, it would be fucking AMAZING if I win, but even if I don’t it was pretty cool getting to write why I love Adam down. I know that sounds corny, but it’s true. I probably won’t win anyway, not to be pessimistic or anything. Out of probably the thousands of people that are entering this thing, only 10 get picked. And I damn well think that I deserve one of those 10 spots. This is the only entry I’ve submitted because it has taken me a month to get all this together. And as of writing this down I’m having an adamgasm because I’m looking at the official cover of For Your Entertainment and it’s freaking AWESOME.
I know this is getting kind of long, but I truly do hope that all this effort helps J. If I win I’ll freaking throw and Adam Lambert party or something. So, hopefully this was a good entry (even though it probably just sounds like ranting by now). I honestly believe that I deserve one of these spots.
Hopefully the #1 Glambert,
Francesca Beller
P.S. Enjoy the photos
I'm sorry there aren't more. My computer will only send a few
there would be like 20 if it would let me send them. I hope this is enough to help, though
P.P.S. As of yesterday when I wrote this I have gotten my Glambert number. Glamb #4472 <3
That’s added onto my phone text message signature now
