Ok, so how to get more requests to radio stations. What if...... College grassy knoll, glamberts with poster near sidewalk, poster says "Request Trespassing at #####". Those who stop, get out their phones and text, then show sent message to glambert get a prize/coupon. Itunes song, cupcake, lolly..... Would it work? Most definitely. The best requesting startegy so far. When I first read this idea it seemed a tad nutty to me. On reflection, it is a good idea for generating the needed unique non fan request that he needs. I think many students would be more than happy to do this for a yummy treat. Genius! |

Well, the point about the AMA's is well taken but it can be argued that it also cost him and closed some doors that he's still trying to open today. I really don't think another performance like AMA's would have the same effect because it would not be "shocking" like it was coming right off Idol but rather eyeroll inducing as in "is that all he can do?" Sorry, not a believer in publicity at all costs and all publicity is good publicity. Adam is an amazing talent but he may not reach superstardom in the US. Sad but definitely a possibility. He can still have a stellar and amazing career without turning into a joke, IMO. Both his singles post amas did well, and the album sold well. amas created a discussion worth having, and got him exposure for all the right reasons. A "gate" that forces us to confront real discrimination would be constructive for us and for him. Changing topic: Adam can't have an amazing career without sales. Sales in the US affect sales elsewhere; see Shoshanna's tweets if you doubt that. He will be relegated to jokedom if he is relegated to Vegas. Again, point taken. But what exactly are you proposing for this era?? He already had the big, controversial performance. The impact a second time would not have any of those positive effects. I'm really confused about what you want to happen here. Maybe you can explain what you're envisioning because a redo of the AMA's would not be in his best interests at this point. IMO. |

They're so old. Ancient. I think all Glamberts suffer from the curious case of Benjamin Button. |

I'm really confused about what you want to happen here.. I'm not proposing anything for the era but organized requesting after pll. There's such discrimination against gay citizens in the US that a "gate" is not necessarily a bad thing if it forces us to have a dialogue about our prejudices. A gate about forcefeeding cupcakes to Gaga or getting arrested in Finland is not what I had in mind, as neither leads to such a conversation. No one here knows how Adam thinks. |

Omg, Jean, I was joking! Omg... But, hey, why not, right? Yummy treats all around ;D |

Otherwise occupied, lol, with an old interview that Gelly pointed out - Adam wears the same jacket than today in NZ. On the porch with Lindsey Parker, part1 1 and 2, part2 1 and 2, this is the first of them:

Any news on if he'll be singing anything while in NZ. Doubt it since the band isn't with him. Maybe something on that morning show? I want to know this, too. (I haven't read the whole thread, though. Has anyone answered?) |

Thankfully Adam doesn't think along those lines Agreed. Even the AMA performance was not intended to generate as much controversy as it did. That's why I love him [img src=" ![]() i770.photobucket.com/albums/xx348/Quu3/Adam%20Smilys/Other%20Smileys/wub.gif"][/IMG] ETA: and we do know that because he talked about it on Behind the Music where he said he never thought it would get the reaction it did. He thought people would just tsk tsk a little and say "oh, that Lambert" |
