This is TOTALLY off topic, but we had $160 left over from the 83 attendees at the Queen/Adam pre-concerts party in London on July 10th. JustGill and I decided to donate the money to 1in10 for the kids to attend Adam’s concert at the Arizona State Fair on Oct. 17th. I think this is a win-win for the kids and for Adam
Back to enjoying tweets and Idol discussion...

Yes I should have said also about People that he follows that show up on his feed, , I agree, but not his fans . His fans are not on his feed. When I'm talking about my feed I see only my tweets and the people I follow I don't see the people that are replying at me that I don't follow. I have to go elsewhere to see who is talking to me. Anyway that's how I interpete it. |

Regarding Idol -- what "teases" is Adam responsible for? Am I forgetting some? So far, Adam has said it's a beautiful rumor, it is possible, he would like to do it, and he does not know the decision. Most/all of the "teases" have come from fans -- not from Adam. For example, a few fans decided that Idol would announce early this week -- Monday or Tuesday. Turned out to be not true. Fans found that TMZ comeback quote and connected it to Idol judges and Adam. It was not related to either. Adam made a comment in Oklahoma during the WinStar concert about being back in the area soon. He never said anything that linked that to Idol. Fans connected that to Idol. It could be another concert for all we know or something else. Adam did not do side-by-side photos of Adam looking down to prove he was not telling the truth in an interview. Fans did it. ETC. --- I think it is really important to separate between the fan posts/tweets and what has actually been said/tweeted by Adam. If you are on the "Adam knows he has this and got it in July and is just lying to us cause he can't tell us" team, fine. But IF HE DOES NOT GET IDOL, don't blame Adam for teasing us about it --- because he really hasn't been teasing anyone. --- I am on team possible and I think the odds for Adam getting an Idol judge slot have gone up in the past week.
I used to think he was a long-shot. Now I think the odds are about even he could get it.
They have Mariah, Nicki and Keith Urban. They almost certainly want 2 men. (Scratch Miley, Fergie, etc.) Nick Jonas is off to X-Factor. Hip-Hop is covered with Mariah. (So scratch Kanye, Diddy, etc.) That leaves Enrique (Latin audience appeal) and Adam in the mix -- or someone who is not being talked about. (maybe a rocker Slash, Bret Michaels, or a Brit). And yes, I think Adam would be great! But this is not the only path for him.
This is probably going to be 2 more weeks -- since they are likely to announce only after they have all the deals done and on top of The Voice premiere.At no point did I say Adam was responsible for the teases or endless conjectures fans make. He is responsible for his answers to questions about Idol, however. Now, admittedly, I don't keep a spreadsheet of his interviews and I've been out of the country for two weeks, but at no point do I recall him saying, "No comment" or "Not going to happen." But in any case, all I said was that I'm tired of the teases. And it's not just about Idol, it's about how I feel that this era has been one big tease (the endless attempts to request the singles that went nowhere, etc). So yeah, I feel frustrated, then add to that the "I'm bullshitting you all" tweet that was from him, that I loathe people "bullshitting" me, and the fact that my carbon monoxide detector went crazy last night and was beeping for hours and yeah, I get irritated this morning. But I've gotten the message from y'all, thanks. Have fun. What are you talking about, did I miss something? Where did Adam say he is BStin' his fans? I understand form his tweets that people on his tweet feed are BStin' And why does he have to say "no comment" or "not gonna happen" when it is not true? The fact is it may happen and he is waiting. He is just very honest when asked. Why do you take it as a tease from him and now you feel let down. I hope you can calm down and feel better now. I don't think Adam has done any wrong here. it's just fans speculation that may mislead you. |

This is a question he answered today after his first tweet. To me this answer is telling everyone that he is talking about what HE says and that sometimes he's being sarcastic or talking BS. Having said that I believe he has every right to do so. It's not his problem that some fans are taking everything seriously Makayla @xiihy4lyfx @adamlambert Awww, you're cute. Tell me, how do we know when you ARE serious?Adam Lambert @adamlambert @xiihy4lyfx yeah I suppose it doesn't always translate over twitter. Guess I guess ?  |

I am a passionate Adam fan and will be for the rest of my life. I think he is amazing on so many levels. His examples of being true to himself and trying to stay positive in negative situations carry over to how I try to live my own life. I want this Idol judge for him. But if he doesn't get it I will move on and not dwell on the negative. That is something he taught me too. Adam is love and joy and laughter. That is how I want to be. This could end in so many ways. But it has to end in September. There is a real possibility that Adam wants more money to do Idol than they want to pay him. They are already spending a ton of money on judges -- around $30+ million for 3 judges. Can't imagine they will spend $4-$5 million on the 4th judge. And I would HATE to see Adam do this for less than $5 million. Plus, they have to pay Randy and $35 million for Ryan. (Judges get more than the salary -- they get a lot of expensive +++'s) There is no way Adam is demanding or going to get more than Keith Urban. He's not at the point yet of asking for what Keith is getting and close to what Nicki is getting. Demi Lovato is getting around one million to do X-Factor. She now has the number three song on the Pop charts and it is headed to number one. (unless Flo Rida cathes up to it) Doing X Factor for one million is the smartest gamble Demi ever made! She is a smart girl for her age. There are rumblings that she is going to be the break out star of the judging circuit for all the shows this year, like Levine was for The Voice a couple of years ago. Two of the Top 10 Pop songs are from judges on the X Factor and The Voice. IF Adam is lucky enough to land this Idol job, I expect him to do it for around 1-2 million. Also, I expect that he will be like Demi and Levine and turn that "lower" salary into 10x what they are paying him. Adam is a smart man- if they ask, he is saying yes! |

The opportunity value is off the charts for Adam. |

This is what I was trying to say. IF Adam gets this, the payoff could potentially be worth more than the salary he is paid. |

He needs this. The whole launch of his third single is waiting on this. The exposure itself is worth a million. I agree that the value of the promo from having the huge exposure Idol brings makes the gig far more valuable than the dollar amount in the salary. I think being an alum is a plus because it is different and thus will garner the show some press |
