The idea to sing together was brought up by Robbie in this article from August 21, 2015.. www.express.co.uk/entertainment/music/599702/adam-lambert-robbie-williams-duetFans went into a frenzy when Robbie Williams revealed his man crush on Adam Lambert this week. The Take That star was being interviewed on New Zealand radio when he blurted out his feelings for the American idol. Speaking to the Polly and Grant radio show on Hits FM in New Zealand, Robbie praised the “beautiful” Ghost Town singer for his good looks and singing talent . ''On the TV he's really, really beautiful, he's stunning and he's got the most amazing voice," he gushed. "He's a bit Elvis'y, isn't he? He’s really handsome and strikes me as a nice person. "I should sing something with him. Will you tell him I said, ‘Hi’ and send my love and I said we should do something together?” .... And Adam replied with this tweet, but nothing came of it and I don't know if Robbie ever replied.. ADAM LAMBERT ✔ @adamlambert Hey @robbiewilliams !! Thanks for the shout out! I'm so flattered! Whatcha got!? 11:18 PM - Aug 22, 2015

I had no clue who these guys are, so thanks for the heads-up. Nice to see Adam mingling The picture with Tony looks pretty "cozy", doesn't it? Somehow I must have missed it in Adam's stories. Not that it matters much, but wasn't it Tyler Rowell who did Javi's birthday shoot? I am not a fan of Adam's current hair and the "evil magician" look. I prefer natural and soft tones around his face.

P ete Buttigieg won't be president in 2020, but his campaign changed the game for LGBTQ Americanswww.cnn.com/2020/03/07/politics/pete-buttigieg-lgbtq/index.htmlMore..... Former US Rep Barney Frank, the first member of Congress in a same-sex marriage, agrees with Buttigieg's view, but thinks history will view Buttigieg's unsuccessful bid for president as historic in its own right. " It's one of the most important moments in American history, not just of the LGBT issues," Frank told CNN in an interview after Buttigieg ended his campaign. "It is a sign that the prejudice against sexual minorities has diminished even more than we had thought. ... It further advances the fight against prejudice, because he was so good at it, being so articulate and doing as well as he did." "He not only benefited from the diminution of prejudice, he furthered it by his own very good performance," Frank, who's been on the forefront of LGBTQ equality since the Stonewall riots, continued. If Buttigieg's run meant America saw more widespread acceptance for the LGBTQ community, it carried even more weight for those Americans who saw themselves in the presidential hopeful. "I never thought we'd have a gay candidate for president in our lifetime, no," said Paul King, who attended Buttigieg's rally in Raleigh, North Carolina with his husband, J.D. Brickhouse, just one day before Buttigieg would drop out of the race. "But I never thought we'd have civil rights in our lifetime either. It means a lot. Nobody who hasn't experienced growing up gay in America would understand how much that means." "What does it mean? I'm having the chance to vote for a gay man for president," Brickhouse chimed in bluntly. For Annise Parker of the LGBTQ Victory Fund, which seeks to elect LGBTQ candidates up and down the ballot, Buttigieg's candidacy filled a more urgent need. "I believe that he literally saved lives," Parker, president and CEO of the group, told CNN Thursday. "We still have a horrible problem with internalized homophobia and suicide, leading to suicide within our community, and by seeing Pete there doing so well and speaking directly to disenfranchised young people, I know he had an outsized impact for them. I know what all of our candidates and elected officials do for younger LGBT people and how they provide hope, how they provide inspiration. He did that on steroids." ......more

Tony Devoney is the guy who did that swirlly blue and green artwork in Adam's house....didn't he? Yes, I noticed Adam's hand on Tony's knee...lol...but his facial expression wasn't too into it IDT. In the pic with Michael Yerger Adam looks kinda interested...lol...but I looked Michael up and doesn't appear that he's gay....has a gf it appears. He's really handsome and hunky and fit.....just turned 21 and from Knoxville, Tenn. wikiramp.com/michael-yerger/I don't see Adam's IGs of Tony anymore in his stories....musta deleted it.

The idea to sing together was brought up by Robbie in this article from August 21, 2015.. I know. I remember that interview that Robbie did back then in Oz. It came up again in 2016 or so, when they both had been in Australia again. Since then Adam had been busy recording and figuring out his label situation ect. Robbie recorded a Christmas Album, that features several well known artists, like Rod Stewart, Bryan Adams ect. A huge surprise was that the German super star Helene Fischer sings a duet with him. She is pretty much unknown in English speaking countries, because she sings German Schlager. Adam and some of you know her, because he (with Queen)has sung WWTLF in a duet with her for her Christmas show 2014. Now she’s featured on a Number 1 Album in the UK, thanks to Robbie. And Robbie’s Christmas album became again Number 1 in Germany, after his last album before had made it „only“ to number 2 (his 8 albums before that had all been number 1 in Germany, so no way to tell, if it was due to Helene.) From the comments I read here today, I think, some of you really are overthinking the collaborations. Singers are artists. They usually love to share their art. And most of them love to work with other artists. There have always been duets and collaborations. Making music isn’t a competition. Yes, they need to make money. But at least most artists aren’t about, who sings better, higher or whatever. Of course that‘s a plus. But you can have the best technique in the world - if the audience doesn’t like the tone of your voice you‘re lost. Others can write great songs, but aren’t the best singers. There are all kinds of singers and artists. And if they work together instead of against each other, the sum of their input can make great things happen. Look at Queen: Only the 4 of them together were able to create their extraordinary catalogue of hits. None of the members had been able to write and record a real hit all by themselves. However, in today’s music business there are more and more collaborations. I just looked at the German Top 100 charts. About 20-25% of it are features or duets of two artists. I see it more and more. The singers don’t make much money by selling their music. It seems they are trying to broaden their market by attracting other fandoms. And it works. In Germany we have a very successful TV Show that is called „Sing meinen Song“ (=Sing my Song). Every season about 7 well known singers do a trip to South Africa, where they sing and record each other’s songs. Every week the episode features one of them and their career so far. This is mainly done by the other artists, who each choose one of his/her songs and perform it in their own way. It’s stunning to watch, how another artists choose to re-arrange songs you‘ve heard so often on the radio. It’s often like with Adam’s complete change of Cher‘s Believe. And some react like Cher did. One of my favorite singers had participated in this show 3 years ago. He wasn’t really taken seriously as a solo artist until then. But he gained a lot of recognition by his fellow singers, their fans and the industry. Since then these artists do show up at each others concerts from time to time and are doing features on songs. Only occasionally of course and usually not more than one at a time. The result: the fandoms are growing. They really are. It’s for all a win-win situation. And that’s actually great to watch, because many of them are very different in their musical styles and what they bring to the table. And when I watch these artists interact, it makes them real and likable for me. That made me look closer into their music. Which I would have never done otherwise. Long story short: In my opinion you can only win with a collaboration. The artist wins at least experience, sometimes even a lifelong friend. Maybe the song is going to be commercially successful. Maybe not. But I cannot see real negative effects.
