As far as I know, the Grammy submissions list has not leaked in total so we do not know who was submitted. Based on what has leaked, we do know some of the submissions in this category. Here are a few: Adam Lambert #1 US 152K+ Justin Bieber #1 Platinum Kelly Clarkson #1 Platinum Coldplay #1 Platinum Lana Del Rey #2 US 408K, Platinum in many countries Florence + the Machine #6 US 717K, Platinum in many countries fun #3, US 658K Nora Jones #2 Madonna #1 US 518K Maroon 5 #2 US 700K [missed #1 by < 1,000 units] John Mayer #1 US 500K+ Jason Mraz #2 US 252K One Direction #1 US 1.4 million P!nk #1 US 700K+ Rihanna #3 US 850K Usher #1 US 373K Looks like a tough field to me -- not based on my personal taste but based on who is likely to get votes. ETA: I am not disagree that Adam could get nominated, just not agreeing that the field in not that competitive or that album sales are low. I really can not figure out WHY sales for TSP are so low???? They are not near what FYE sales were, are these numbers just for US? Surely intl sales are better? Of course, it is kinda hard to buy this album when it is no longer being stocked in the stores, when was the last time anyone saw the album on a rack at their local music store or one of the big retailers like Target? When I was in London in Oct, my friend bought the last 2 TSP at the HMV, it was on sale 2 for L15. I haven't seen it at my local Wal Mart since June. Wonder if RCA plans on restocking when Adam gets the Grammy nom? I hope so!!!!! I believe. I'm a believer. ;D Of course international sales are higher, but they are higher for everyone. To me, it looks like the high sales are either due to radio hits or "history/respect." Adore Adam, but he doesn't have much of either yet in the US. |

Shit, I just had a visual of that happening to me and brown matter exploding everywhere. Shit. Oh crap, another visual with odor. Let me rephrase. Beans, I just had a visual of that happening to me and brown matter exploding everywhere. Beans. LOL! And for the record my method of dealing with whether or not Adam will get a grammy is to not deal with whether or not Adam will get a grammy. Scroll is my friend, finger in my ears is my friend, and of course, mind numbing alcohol.  As if a burrito had a mind. [img src=" ![]() i770.photobucket.com/albums/xx348/Quu3/Adam%20Smilys/Other%20Smileys/OMGlam.gif"] [/IMG] [img src=" ![]() i770.photobucket.com/albums/xx348/Quu3/Adam%20Smilys/Other%20Smileys/OMGlam.gif"][/IMG] [img src=" ![]() i770.photobucket.com/albums/xx348/Quu3/Adam%20Smilys/Other%20Smileys/OMGlam.gif"][/IMG] You know, I've never tried a burrito. You could be a sport, take one for the international team, materialize over here, and let me have a bite. As a sport. And a true humanitarian ;D [/quote] Well, I have some good news and some bad news. The good news is I decided to be a sport and a true humanitarian and immediately surfed over to a ticket site to book my ticket. Bad news is I didn't like the available seats, held out for a better seat and now the flight is sold out. :( Early bird gets the golden egg or is it the late bird gets the worm?  ) Two things I learned from this: 1) burritos aren't good ticket buyers and 2) if you want a bite, you have to come to me. |

I've seen Trespassing, FYI and even GNT dvd in many stores here and thats because most of Finns likes Adam a lot. But you know what is stupid? We don't get many posters of Adam, since last summer there have been only two I think, and both of them are small :( Just checked december magazines for Adam posters, and there were only One Direction and Justin Bieber posters etc... and those are in ever magazines :-/ Some finnbert knows where i can get adam posters?! Yesterday I was wondering if I would make a 2013 calendar with only Adam photos. Any ideas where I can get good quality photos of him? That calendar would be awesome! PS. My English sucks lol. |

Well, Trespassing has been out of stock in the Targets near me all fall (but this is Chicago where he really isn't played). Just have to add---the music section of my Target is HORRIBLE to begin with. You would be lucky to find anything that isn't country or currently topping BB

Not deluxe, just regular and only one copy. |

Understood you just fine. No problem. I made my own Adam poster and calendar. There are online sites that have programs to assist you with this. You are right. You do need high quality photos, tho', especially for poster size. I found some here: adam-pictures.com/ They were marked HQ. I also googled images and specified "large" only, or even the actual size number range I was looking for. Here are a few I have in HQ that I could send you if you want. Just PM me.     |

The only available good seats were 161 to 211 euros (VIP without any real benefit). Normal ticket as good now available are 70 euros. that's about 300 dollars to 100 dollars. Those who have 70 euro bad seat and upgrade loose less money. This is not killing me, I have a good seat and I can afford it, but I am so mad for many, many young true fans. And Mods, feel free to delete my ramblings, I need to let steam out. This is criminal business. I try to stop now, but promise nothing. "New steam might come available without further notice" Leena, I asked today Lippupiste how come so many good seats came available today. They told me that sections 120, 119, 118, 117 are club seat sections, which means that if the share holders don't purchase their prebooked seats, then the tickets come available for others. The prebooking closed today. They also told me that usually this club seat prebooking closes before the regular ticket starts, but for some reason this didn't happen this time. Why they are now available seats also in sections 107 and 110 I really don't know. So I have two tickets now... Thank you! What are club seats? Any idea? Never heard of, must something fundamental, since they are great majority of the good seats. ETA: ALso 107 and 110 were released today. That leaves only one normal price section out from this game. |
