(Cheeks, aka Brad Bell, is "the ex" that Adam is always talking about in interviews, and the one with whom the infamous kissing photos - whee! - were taken. It's so obvious how in sync these two were and how dramatically they affected the other's worldview. Precious and heartbreaking. End of sad story.)
Listening to Adam talking about meeting Madonna (by the way, would it KILL Oprah's team to actually write questions that haven't been asked in 800 other interviews?) and how inspiring she was to him as a performer and as someone who has learned to express herself no matter what others say... THAT'S what Adam & Co mean to me. Cheeks talks a lot about spreading the glitter - in fact, that's almost all he ever tweets about - and being as sparkly and fabulous as possible, and all three of them are daring and take huge risks. Between the three of them and Lady Gaga... I'd call them my ultimate inspiration in life. They are what inspired me to take the plunge from "Living in New York would be totally cool!" into "I AM MOVING TO NEW YORK." I guess I'm just sick of being told how to behave, where to live and work and what my potential is. Maybe I am "only me," but maybe I'm a sparkly little flower just waiting to bloom.
Finally, an excerpt from
Lady Gaga: The whole point of what I do... I want to create a space for my fans where they can feel free and they can celebrate, because I didn't fit in in high school, and I felt like a freak. So I like to create this atmosphere for my fans where they can feel like they have a "freak in me" to hang out with, and they don't feel alone.
Ellen: So, that's why. So it isn't really for someone to talk about you, it's not for that - it really is to create a space for people.
Lady Gaga: Yeah, well, this is who I really am and it took a long time to be okay with that.
