The media makes the world too small

I just noticed yesterday AGAIN that there always is a circle that leads back to something I like in something I like. (I hope that sentence makes sense
)Well. Let me explain it. There is this guy, some (or many) will know him from 'American Idol'. His name
is 'Adam Lambert' and I fell in love with his incredibly unique voice a bit more than a week ago. I can't imagine any person out there who has a talent like him. But that's not that important for this post. Important is that another singer, 'Fady Maalouf' (I've posted maaaaaany posts about him on DSDS - the german version of American Idol - here on my blog =) ) had an interview a few days or weeks ago with letmeentertainyou.de. I didn't know that when I 'found' Adam.
And then yesterday I thought, I could search for news about Fady, because I thought he might have a new album out soon... Then I found the interview. I read it really interested and it was quite cute - as always - but then the last question caught my attention. His answer was sooooo unexpected to me. I really thought "WTF?!".
letmeentertainyou.de: When did you get goose bumbs the last time?
Fady: Recently, I've watched 'American Idol' and found this incredible singer: His name is Adam Lambert and was the runner-up as well. [Fady also was the runner-up of the german show] But that wasn't what made me take to him, but his magical voice did, that fascinates me every time. I get goose bumbs and sometimes tears fill my eyes. [...]
I mean, well, to everyone out there, there's nothing special about this statement. But I like Fady Maalouf and then he says he likes Adam Lambert's voice, which I loooveee, too. That's so crazy. The world is too small.
And I think, today it is that small because of the media. TV, the internet, radio... everything that transports information as fast as possible to any part of the world.
Without TV I wouldn't know Fady or his voice. Without the internet I wouldn't be listening to music the whole day, because I wouldn't know all my favourite artists. So, without the internet I wouldn't know Adam Lambert exists. Without the internet I wouldn't even be writing this. I could say, the internet makes my day. Always

But... sometimes I just think, it's so crazy, that everything is what it is. That humans did all this. That we can communicate this way so fast and easy. I won't philosophize about the masterminds of our society. But I think it's admirable how all this could 'arise' out of nothing. Well, nothing is the wrong word. I meant, how all this could arise out of what the nature gave us.
Just wanted to give you this thought

That was way too much for one post. It made me tired

I'll go to bed now...
Good night =)
M.Q.
P.S.: Here is one of Fady's songs, that he wrote for his first album. It's so sweet.
And here Adam Lambert's version of "Mad World" (It isn't as good as it was on AI, but who cares? It still is beautiful. Adam looks like an aged version of Donnie Darko
He could have played that role if he had have black hair back then
)

Adam Lambert has a great voice indeed.

But to me it still is strange
I'm glad that you like it =)
