[/IMG] ETA: Oh, I get it. You got the question about if you've heard of AL and how do you rate him. I rated the actual song. TRESPASSING is there to listen to and rate--not just Adam. I didn't get any of the rate-the-artist questions last night.[/quote] What category is Adam under ,I can't find trespassing anywhere [/quote] I don't believe that we "find" him at all. As you go through the rating process, various songs just pop up for you to listen to for about 1 1/2 minutes. Then you rate it. Q3 says to have your listening preferences set to HAC. Mine are set to HAC, Mainstream AC, and Top 40. I selected HAC as my favorite. Then the site plays music that is appropriate for my interests. If you need to change your preferences, click on your login name at the top of the Hit Predictor page. Then look for "My Listening Preferences" on the right side of the page and change them if you need to. Then on the Home page, click the link for "Rate Music" on the left of the screen. I'm not sure there is any guarantee that you will hear Trespassing. There are lots of songs that get played randomly for each person. Some of the songs you might hear are listed on the home page as teasers. |

His ad agency is huge! I don't care if it's just a rumor that Niles is involved in the branding or if he really is. The big news out of this is commercial potential for Adam. We've always wondered when he was going to sign up for corporate sponsorships or get music featured on commercials. This is the CEO of a worldwide ad agency that does exactly that. The agency has run into a bit of difficulty this year, losing some accounts and having to lay off people, but this is a great indication that Adam is becoming a brand himself. |

The blogger must be referring to the panel the Nile was on at an advertising convention (or something) that was posted here a few days ago. Nile did not say he was rebranding Adam. He was asked about his work with Adam and explained that they got connected through Twitter, etc. The previous discussion on the panel had been about his rebranding of Diana Ross. Maybe this blogger fell asleep and didn't really listen to what Nile said. Except that this guy is not just a blogger. He is CEO of one of the biggest international advertising firms! Google it!!  Laurence Boschetto.
CEO, DraftfcbTrue, but his writing is in "The Blogger" section of the Huff Post business section. CEO's can fall asleep during panel discussions too.  I'm pretty sure Nile did not say he is rebranding Adam. |

I'm not usually one that goes in for 'what ifs', but that remix of Never Close Our Eyes shows what that song could have been with a different producer. #notafanofDrLuke. Do we have the unmashed-up version of Benny Benassi's remix of Trespassing? I have to agree, and it's not easy for me to do publicly. But it shot the song into another stratosphere.... Thanks , Ngl, you rock [img src=" ![]() i770.photobucket.com/albums/xx348/Quu3/Adam%20Smilys/Other%20Smileys/clap.gif"] [/IMG] [/quote] I'm a big Dr. Luke fan but I don't think he a good job of bringing life to NCOE. Think I'm actually gonna put this remix on my TP playlist instead of the original eep don't hurt me |

There was an interview, sometime around the time of Idol or maybe even on Idol, where Adam actually said that he really studied Bo Rap to figure out how Freddie made the vocal sounds and how he could duplicate it. I think he said he did this for other rock artists also, or at least implied it. Anybody remember which interview this was? Sounds like you're talking about other idols who's during the competition always copying someone's style of singing... a copy cat. ;D And the world knows Adam Lambert is not a copycat, the rock clasic fans and world already admitted it that during & after Queen concerts Adam is his own entity and not trying to copying Freddie. Anyway, I've never heard about such interview or even if it's exist. Now I know there's one TV interview on his homecoming in San Diego. One TV reporter asked Adam about his phyton shoes and when he's going to sing Queen songs on Idol stage. Adam heard and knew about people comparing him to Freddie and he told the reporter that the reason why he hasn't sang Queen song yet was because he had to make the song his own coz he didn't want to sounds alike. So, IMO if Adam's studying someone's voice it's not to make it sounds alike or duplicate or copying them, he is studying it from the technical point of view .. how they created the voice and how he can do it with his own style. His own rock voice with classical touch ;D It's out there. Adam has talked about how when he was young he would listen to artists and try to copy their sounds---it was one of the ways he "learned" to hit those high notes. There is nothing wrong with this. He was young, having fun, and learning. Neil also talked about it once---long ago---on his blog. |

I think maybe they are referring to the work they did together on Trespassing. |

The CEO of the company that is or was the ad agency for Kraft Foods, CocoCola, Miller Beer, Kmart, KFC, Taco Bell, Coors, Discover Card, who has 9000 employees in 90 international offices did not have to explain who Adam Lambert was other than a singer. He put him in the same category as other major current and past stars and linked him with successful past campaigns. Other people will pay attention.
A recent example of one of their commercials
Can you imagine something like this set to WWFM?

What category is Adam under ,I can't find trespassing anywhere HAC, you gotta listen to a bunch and rate first before comes up. Gotta an hour?? It only takes that long if you are totally unfamiliar with most of the songs. It's been a while, but I swear I have done it in 10 or 15 minutes. But I have little kids, and we listen to a lot of pop music. |
