it appears to be significantly ahead with 42%
A couple of days ago it was around 60%. It is losing ground to Toto.

Ok, so I put the effort in to make a reasonable translation of the WDR report, given that the google one is marginal, and at times quite unclear. I posted that in the Cologne thread and made a cross-reference in today's daily thread and concert thread about it.
I come back in the evening, my cross-reference in here is gone, and instead people are copying into this thread, multiple times over, that lousy google translate, probably because they don't know of any other translation.
Well thanks guys, I feel really appreciated, and yes I can take a hint. And to that somebody, whoever is is, that deleted my work, please find yourself something more constructive to do with your time. I see that the reference in the Amsterdam thread is still there. Probably you have not found that one yet.
It is not fun doing translations, I don't need to do them, I can certainly find myself better things to do with my time. But when they come in from other countries where I do not speak the language, I surely appreciate them. So, I thought people might like the German ones, too. But you prefer google-goble instead. Great, good to know.
Have a good night.
For those who are interested, you find my still remaining Cologne work in the end of that thread. =================================
Oh, and btw. 'androgyn' means having both male (andropos) and female (gynaika) characteristics. It does not mean 'fem' male, at all, neither in Greek nor in German.
Adam is very quintessential 'androgynous', in the classic sense of that word. I realize from past discussions, that in American English the meaning must have shifted quite a bit, and many people now don't understand why Adam would be called that, but it is completely normal, appropriate and not at all negative to use that term in German for Adam. Now, a few other terms in other reviews I read today, were used and I did not like to read them, but not in that WDR article, and not the word androgynous. That article is totally fine.

Couple excerpts: . . . But before that happens, we would be remiss (and the "we" I'm using here refers to society at large) not to point out how utterly original Trespassing is, and why, despite its lack of hits, Lambert's second album compels its listeners to invest in the 33-year-old's musical future. . . . Trespassing represents a swinging night out with a spectacularly charismatic voice. The majority of the album is pure kinetic energy, with Lambert delivering its choruses rapidly and squeezing over-the-top sexuality into every tawdry syllable. . . . The word "trespassing" denotes the entrance of an off-limits area, and throughout Trespassing, Lambert invites the listener to follow his devilish grin into a candy-colored club scene where "the freaks like us can meet," as he puts it on "Shady." Obviously Lambert's sexuality has him casting himself as an outsider at times (or as a guide to hidden desire, on songs like "Pop That Lock" and "Naked Love"), but more often, he casts himself as gleefully trespassing in the world of popular music. "No trespassers? Yeah, my ass!/ Wait till ya get a load of me!" he sneers on the title track, an elastic synth-pop pageant that sounds like a smash hit from another planet, or from an alternate history of this one. But, really, Trespassing DID have a radio hit, produced and co-written by Pharrell Williams one year before "Get Lucky" and "Blurred Lines" brought the N.E.R.D. whiz back to the pop-culture forefront. "Kickin' In" is a crazy under-appreciated club banger, complete with cowbell, a crackling vocal take from Lambert and Pharrell onboard as a willing sidekick in a liquored-up adventure. "Kickin' In" zooms, stacking its synthesizers in the chorus but leaving gaps of air for a winding intro and a bass lick before the third refrain. Maybe the BPM was simply too high for "Kickin' In" to land as a single, but in hindsight, the Great Pharrell Comeback of 2012 certainly could have started one year earlier.

TP is a brilliant album... perhaps there is some hope for retroactive revival...may be if TOH is successful!
