________________________________________________________________________________ Q3 the contest. I think it will be a simple demonstrate how big a fan you are type contest rather than a sales-based video for the cards. I really hope you don't have posters all over your bedroom wall and an Adam-pillow-case though . Unless Mr Q3 is tolerant beyond all reason! If it is this type of contest, I think you could do something creative around the fact that Adam loves that his music has inspired and created friendships and fellowships across the world. And what we get up to. I'd use this site as a theme - 'our not so secret glambert behaviour', the fact that you provide this place and find examples of posts, images, serious discussion, our stupidity, flailing and our love and kindness. I really hope you win. I second this motion; use this site as a theme. Brilliant idea (and I too really hope you win).

I can't believe I just came on to find a bunch of judging and criticizing other fan's preferred form of showing love. WTF is this? I am really sad to see this... Who gets to be the so special exceptions to the taste gods and who not is really disturbing. I hope this is a temporary aberration born from intense boredom..... AAAADDDDAAAAAMMMMM! HHHHEEELLLLP let's be honest some of the fan art, while well intentioned and meant with love, is creepy and/or crappy. Having honest discussions within the fandom should be expected by the artist if they put their art out there for public consideration. I see no need to be cruel or unkind in sharing an opinion but this political correctness where everyone gets a trophy for just showing up is part of the reason people feel so entitled to praise they haven't rightfully earned (imo).

The Lambrits @lambritsuk · 3h Queen and Adam Lambert in TV Times and Heat Magazine - pics via @sophreilly Now wait just a minute....this sounds eerily familiar. 1) Take a drink every time someone attempts to discredit Adam based on his background as a TV singing show contestant. (keywords: "karaoke"; "credibility"; "the struggle, or lack thereof") 2) Take a drink every time someone mentions that George Michael should be touring with Queen instead based on that one performance he gave at the FM tribute concert over 22 years ago. 3) Take a drink every time someone suggests Marc Martel should be touring with Queen instead. (keywords: "sounds just like Freddie"; "even looks like him") 4) Take a drink every time someone helpfully points out that Adam is not, in fact, Freddie Mercury. 5) Take a drink when somebody attempts to express dismay on Freddie's behalf. (keywords: "spinning"; "grave"; "Freddie would be [adj] if he saw this!") 6) Take a drink whenever somebody praises John Deacon for respectfully disappearing rather than wreaking havoc on the Queen legacy. (keywords: "integrity") 7) Take two drinks whenever someone asserts that Brian and Roger have no right to call themselves "Queen". (keywords: "nothing without Freddie!") 8) Take a drink whenever someone expresses concern over the state of Queen's legacy. 9) Take a drink whenever someone claims that Paul Rodgers is the better Queen frontman based on his past experience fronting rock bands.* (keywords: "credibility"; "legacy") 10) Drink the remainder of the bottle when someone says that Adam is just not a good singer.Aha! Drink up, people!

Plus, we're very charitable..Donor's Choose, Charity Water, etc. Givestars might appreciate that. I just noticed that we have 1877 members here at Adamtopia......It's a sign ...a truly magical number!

My ninja-ing has discovered yet another WWTLF with Helene! This one is an AMAZING view. Incomplete at the beginning, but it goes all the way to the end.

With all due respect, give me a freaking break. We are talking about photoshop funnies, handicrafts, and pictures of Christmas trees. Maybe we could designate a new art form for displays of grievance, entitlement, and pique masquerading as discussion, and then invite others to critique how well we do it.

I am a huge fan of Adam fans! Yes, fans have done some big things, but there have been thousands and thousands of quiet acts of kindness from one fan to another. I have never seen or experienced anything like it before.

I see no need to be cruel or unkind in sharing an opinion but this political correctness where everyone gets a trophy for just showing up is part of the reason people feel so entitled to praise they haven't rightfully earned (imo). sorry, nope, don't care if it's crappy. I think what started this was a member who shared what they thought was a funny picture. That picture and it's creator declared crappy and by extension the member who thought it was funny probably feels crappy now too. I don't want to declare that someone can only post artwork if you are "good enough". Really? Well I guess we should only post our thoughts if we are "eloquent enough". It's a good way to ensure that nobody is going to dip their toe in. This is not Glambert Idol. We are not competing for votes of the masses. This is FAMILY or GLAMILY if you prefer and if I post something it's because I want to share and perhaps because my real life family doesn't "get it" and I thought that, you know, my online friends actually might be friendly. I may not be asking anyone to "critique" it. In fact I'm probably not because um you know I might actually know I'm not very good but I want to participate. I want to celebrate. I want to belong. Don't kick me to the curb because I'm not capable of winning the trophy. Being an Adam fan is not a G**Damn competition.
