Oh! So they buy the tickets and and then resell them asking for more money than what they paid in the first place? Isn't that illegal?  |

I am not sure how this happened. I tried to down play my interest in Adam as just a casual fan to my children. We don't listen indiscriminately to pop radio as I feel so much of the lyrics are inappropriate and unrelatable (some would call me over protective). Adam's cds are the only adult cd in my car but I resist the urge to play it much.
Seems my 9year old has become a glambert anyway. She has taken the cd and plays it all the time.
Pluses:
I get to listen to Adam way more.
Listening to him with my family makes me feel more honest.
While previously my dh only gave the music the attention of background music, there is no way he can miss it now.
Minuses:
My other children now groan "not again" when he is played "again!!".
I feel less honest because I am using her to cover my obsession.
My overprotected daughter is now singing along "the best seeds, make the best treats", "come on pull it out I dare ya", and I am not sure how she handles the cursing.
BUT the interesting part to me is how someone who couldn't possibly understand the true meanings of the words values the songs. Her first favorite was Runnin, especially the begining--the beat and power I guess. Now it's OLL. Today while listening to Naked Love she said, "I like this one because it's like he is smiling", then she rewound it to the first few lines and said "right there". That's exactly why I like that song too, although I've never said that to her!

Gosh, if I as a fan can't hope and expect it to get a Nom, then why would I expect anyone else (like voters) to think it deserves one. :-/ I have to say I disagree with this.  It's one thing to think TSP deserves a nom, but it's a very different thing to expect a nom. Just my opinion. I, as a fan, think that TSP deserves a nom for all the reasons you said. I also can't help but hope it will get a nom, I want TSP nominated. But I don't expect a nom, because I know chances are it's not going to get it. Is there a chance? Yes, of course. It was a #1 album, it made history, it was critically acclaimed, the music is great, the voice is flawless, Adam is respected among the people who vote at the Grammys... BUT the competition is crazy and the album didn't sell as it should have sold, as it deserved to sell. So I'm not expecting a nomination. I'm rooting for one, and I'm crossing my fingers. But I'm not expecting it. If TSP gets a nom I'll be the first one celebrating all over the place, of course. ;D Well, first I think I would burst into tears of joy. And then I would celebrate. ;D ;D ;D ITA! EVERY WORD! |

If you look at the major submissions in this category this year, the competition isn't that
Great. If you look at album sales this year, they are not that great.
Like tinafea said, I am not a toddler that is going to throw a tantrum. I just can't spend my days expecting the least in situations so I won't get disappointed. I can't!

shoshanna stone @shoshannastone @ann_Glam_ festivals for next summer aren't even booked, nevermind announced....... Okay, so I just keep waiting for better info... :  The organisers of Sonisphere say the rock festival will be back in 2013. The event, which was due to take place at Knebworth Park, Stevenage in July, was called off in March. Stuart Galbraith, CEO of Kilimanjaro Live, said: "We're working on a bill now, hopefully to announce before Christmas. Cancelling it last year was a hiccup." Speaking at the UK Festival Conference, Galbraith admitted that they spent too long working on the bill for 2012. Announcing their line-up in February was "too late", he added. A statement from organisers released in March said they'd fought hard to keep the festival on but that "a very challenging year" meant the event wouldn't have satisfied fans and the artists. Adam Lambert was due to headline on Saturday with members of Queen. Evanescence, Marilyn Manson, Cypress Hill, The Blackout and Faith No More were also on the line-up. Ticket holders were given a refund. Sonisphere also tours throughout Europe. The festival has already confirmed it will visit Italy and France in 2013. Follow @bbcnewsbeat on Twitter  Queen were to perform at Sonisphere 2012 with American Idol's Adam Lambert |

I just can't spend my days expecting the least in situations so I won't get disappointed. I can't! I do not think this way so I won't get disappointed. I just think this way. It's not something I do on purpose. I'm being honest here, not trying to cheat my mind into believing something to protect myself from disappointment. Different people think differently about things, that's all. I respect that you (and others) prefer to dream big. I dream too. I sometimes stop doing whatever I'm doing and start thinking: "Wow, imagine if TSP gets a nom! OMG, it would be amazing. I would do this, and then do this, and I would say this and this and this... And Adam would be so happy! If it happens I'll have to remember to send e-mails to this and this and this person... Wow, I really hope it happens!" But afterwards I smile and think: "I know it's very difficult. It would be so cool... but well, chances are it won't happen. It won't matter to me, of course, I know how great the album is and Adam's doing amazingly great right now. Life is good." That's just how MY mind works. I can't change it, same as I can't change my eye color. I'm sorry if you don't like it. As I said, if TSP gets a nom I'll be the first one to celebrate (after bursting into tears). But I can't help thinking this way, it's just how I am. By the way, I don't believe people here will throw a tantrum if TSP isn't nominated at all. But I'm staying away from Twitter, because judging from some comments, that's exactly what's going to happen over there if things don't go our way today. |

Well, this ticket mess in really something else. First I had no other choice than to buy VIP ticket or sit somewhere far away. That cost me 159 euros. Even with the vip-tix, seats were not the best possible.
Now I went and bought another ticket. Very close and almost perfect seat.
Well, we'll see if anybody wants to buy VIP ticket from me ;D
Almost feel like making a complaint somewhere.

But I'm staying away from Twitter, because judging from some comments, that's exactly what's going to happen over there if things don't go our way today. You make an excellent point. I think different brains are wired differently, or bathed in different chemicals, enzymes, or whatever. As a result, they have a tendency toward more positive, optimistic, sometimes grandiose ideas and thoughts, or a tendency to be "realistic" or see the down side, the negative, the caveats, the what-ifs. We can modify our thinking to a degree, but, the natural tendency may be beyond our control. You saying that you can't help how your brain works reminds me of the complaints I have received for making comments about Adam being off pitch occasionally. People think I am being critical, trashing Adam, or being overly nit-picky. They just don't HEAR what I hear, and think I am either imagining it, or looking for fault. The fact is, I cannot NOT hear pitch problems. I think it may be the same for how some people think more "positively" or "negatively/realistically." Just one more example of diversity to be embraced. Thanks for sharing. |
