Adam Lambert Just Lightly Trashed Madonna’s Music– And I’m Like, How Dare He?! Best known for a television talent show, and for singing Queen covers to geriatrics at the Oscars, Adam Lambert has now lightly insulted the Queen of Pop. In an interview with The Independent, Lambert says Madonna is one of his idols, but questions if the flack she gets these days has anything to do with her being a sexualized 60-year-old, or her larger-than-life personality: ‘’I’m a long-time Madonna fan for sure – but here’s my question: does she? Or is she getting a pushback because of the music she’s making?’‘ ”I love that she reinvents herself. I love her, and I think she’s brilliant. And I do think she’s pissed upon a bit, but I don’t think it’s because she’s a strong sexual woman.” ‘‘I think it’s because she’s making the music of 2019 that doesn’t fall quite in line with her legacy, perhaps.”
Look, Madame X is far from a perfect record, but it’s definitely a good one, sometimes downright brilliant. Songs like “Medellín” and “Crazy” are probably as good or better than anything Lambert has done or ever will do. He’s a singer with a few albums under his belt, and he didn’t write or co-write a big chunk of the songs on his records. This criticism of Madonna, even softened with qualifiers like “I love her,” “She’s an icon OMG” and stuff like that, is misjudged, disproportionate, and tacky. Right now, his most popular gig is with Queen: for all intents and purposes, a cover band. Madonna’s pop-music legacy, on the other hand, is all but unmatched. Her new record is experimental, risky, critically flawed in short measures, and mostly quite good. She has a writing credit on every song, as has been the case for most of her career. And of course some of the criticism she gets is because she’s a sexualized 60-year-old woman. It isn’t fair for a younger man to comment on that. instinctmagazine.com/adam-lambert-just-lightly-trashed-madonnas-music-and-im-like-how-dare-he/?utm_source=dlvr.it&utm_medium=twitterWhen I read through this interview a few days ago, I could see the next headline coming...

Top Young Talent Vying For Elvis In Baz Luhrmann Film; Ansel Elgort, Miles Teller, Austin Butler, Harry Styles EXCLUSIVE: Baz Luhrmann is testing a top group of young actors for the role of Elvis Presley in his Warner Bros film about the legendary singer and his manager Colonel Tom Parker. Luhrmann filmed a group of actors last weekend, and will make a decision by next week. Tom Hanks is already set to play Presley’s manager, Parker. The top names we hear, and all of them can sing and showed their hip swivel and sneer to Luhrmann, who has a tough choice. The top contenders: Ansel Elgort, The Fault in Our Stars and Baby Driver star; Miles Teller, who’s about to be seen in Top Gun: Maverick, and who nearly got the lead role in La La Land after starring in such films as Whiplash; Austin Butler, who is about to be seen in a breakout turn in Quentin Tarantino’s Once Upon A Time…In Hollywood after playing in the cast of Jim Jarmusch’s The Dead Don’t Die. Last but not least and just as intriguing: Harry Styles, the former One Direction leader singer who broke into movie acting with Dunkirk and Love, Simon. www.msn.com/en-us/movies/news/top-young-talent-vying-for-elvis-in-baz-luhrmann-film-ansel-elgort-miles-teller-austin-butler-harry-styles/ar-AADIPgd?li=BBnbfcL

Beginning in September and throughout the fall, we should be getting some great new songs from Velvet. Adam says that some of the songs to come are very high-energy and a lot for "big-voicey." (my words, not his). I can't WAIT for those songs to come out! He has been teasing us with the foreplay songs. I've been loving it. Now I'm ready to for the BIG DEAL songs to hit.

(my words, not his). I can't WAIT for those songs to come out! He has been teasing us with the foreplay songs. I've been loving it. Now I'm ready to for the BIG DEAL songs to hit. Yep. Kinda sounds like Side A will drop in Sept with at least a couple more songs according to this article in addition to FS NE and CIH www.wrmf.com/adam-lambert-says-his-sexy-new-songs-are-an-appetizer-for-new-album-velvet/"But...the songs that are coming in September [are]...lot more up-tempo, a bit bigger, a bit more bombastic -- the energy that maybe my fans are used to hearing from me. Velvet Side A is due in September; so far, there's no release date for Side B. Adam says both sides will make sense together, but they won't be 100% the same. "The two sides will have slightly different vibes," he explains. "It's a cohesive album but...there's a slight noticeable difference."
