9.15.12 Trespassing Videos, Adam on Fashion Police

I am here thinking about 'The Announcement' tomorrow..I'd like to put something out. I don't do twitter but some of you have mad skilz here.

No matter WHAT happens..wouldn't it be wonderful to trend #ibelieveinAdam after the announcement? We talk here about our commitment to him. Maybe he's been having a tough time and needs our support, not our worries and bitching about Idol on Twitter. I know, cannae tell people what to do. Not trying to.

But if I did do Twitter I'd sure try to trend something totally positive. Following up with maybe twits about the exciting vid contest? Or excitement about TP being released as a single. Anything than filling his feed with trash talk.

I'd love to see Adam's face when his fandom rallies in support of him unconditionally. Anyway, I won't be around for the announcement. If anyone likes my ideas, please have at it for Adam's sake. If not, disregard.

Thanks, all!

ETA: And yes, I know Atop doesn't control twitter, but we have input.

I think when he was in Australia, he was still in the running. That's why in the interview he said he was still in the list. But when he's back in the US, he has no interview and no press or anything asked about Idol, so he didn't say that he's not in their short list anymore. Or like other celebrities that in considerations, none of the say anything.
Anyway, it's water under the bridge now. I think it's useless to keep beating a dead horse. I want to know if they really sold 18K SA tickets in 1 hr and a half. Not sold out.. off course no.. it's just amazing that he can do it.

I suppose anything in possible. They have not announced it yet -- and Nigel's tweet made it seem like it was not a done deal.

I believe there is an official release tomorrow regarding the #IdolJudges? I do hope so as the auditions begin in the morning.

But that could just be Nigel trying to make tomorrow a surprise!! ??? : :

I have decided to move on. I am sure some fans will hold out hope until the live shows start in February.

And I will be pleasantly surprised if they unveil the new judges as Mariah, Keith, Nicki and Adam Lambert. I also would like to win the lottery.

Even Nick Jonas has not talked about Idol not picking him -- and he is over on X-Factor. Why would Adam be the one to talk?

ETA: Love the idea Viv --- it might be better if it was focused Trespassing. Cause right now Adam wants a hit single. JMHO.

Kelly's first album, released April 15th 2003, 7 months after her Idol win and went to #1 on BB200, besting 50cent....her first single Miss Independent spent 6 or 7 weeks at #1 on the Pop charts and hit #9 on the Hot 100.

In July 2004 Kelly recorded for Disney the song Breakaway for a Princess Diaries...that song set up her sophomore album for release in December 2004. Breakway is her biggest selling album to date with over 6 million in the U.S. and 13 million world wide. In november 2004 she released Since U Been Gone which was the "call me maybe" of 2005. The song went on to become one of the biggest songs of the year. It was covered by people from all genres. She was all over the radio 2005/2006 as the most played artist across ALL genres. She won both her grammy's in 2006 as well.

The thing about Kelly is she's been a consistent hit maker since the onset of her career...It wasn't easy and a lot of people doubted she'd be around this long but she worked her ass off for it and so will Adam.



Adam has done incredibly well since leaving Idol so IMO his success doesn't need to be "qualified" by how long he's been off Idol. He and Kelly are the ONLY TWO global stars to come from idol in 11 seasons. Adam has scored platinum/gold all over the world and his success is undeniable IMO.

Is he as big in the U.S. as some hoped he would be by now? no, but the beauty of Adam is that he's not just confined to the U.S. like 99.99% of the other idols are so his success in the U.S. isn't nearly as important as theirs' might be. Adam has the benefit of having a global fanbase and because of that he has more opportunities and door opening for him every single day.

I don't know if Adam will ever be a massive superstar in the U.S. but I do know that at the end of the day it won't matter because he'll have a career and success for as long as he wants because his audience is so diverse and wide spread.
