Mark your calendar – ATop celebrates Adam’s birthday on January 29, 2013[/color][/size]

It’s been a long time since we’ve had a party thread – I mean a real party thread. Well get ready. Cause on January 29, 2013, we’re going to have the biggest and best one ever to celebrate Adam’s birthday! Stay tuned for details. Get your dancing shoes ready. Get your Adam music, GIFs, photos and well anything else you can imagine ready.

And if you are interested in helping with the festivities, send me a PM.


Give the Gift of Music to Celebrate Adam’s 31st Birthday[/size][/color]
Thanks to Momtomany who inspired me. I have chosen her ATop AVI to grace the DonorsChoose.org page.

I have set up a Giving Page at DonorsChoose.org to celebrate Adam's 31st birthday and to help support low-income classrooms on DonorsChoose.org. And I'm inviting you to help support it! Do not worry if you cannot afford to give money, because this will be a fan community gift.

DonorsChoose.org is an online charity connecting individuals, like you, to classrooms in need. The average public school teacher spends $500 - $700 on classroom supplies out of his/her own pocket, and students still go without critical supplies they need to learn. So this website is great, because teachers can post requests, like books, microscopes, art supplies, even field trips to the zoo, and you can help fund them.

You can visit this Giving Page, www.donorschoose.org/taf-gp/276504, to make a donation. Thanks in advance for your support!

Pass it on – Tweeter example --- Celebrate @adamlambert 31st birthday on @donorschoose www.donorschoose.org/donors/viewChallenge.html?id=276504

For more ways to join the celebration, read on.[/color][/size]



Let’s make his 31st Birthday ROCK!!

1.16.13 by Q3

Inspired by the post from Avari 1.15.13:


And it gave me an idea – when you put together all the things that Adam has inspired us to do, it is a glittery mosaic. I am going to create a digital mosaic for Adam’s birthday composed of the DonorsChoose.org projects members support plus other actions Members do to celebrate his 31st birthday. So check out the “Adam's 31st Birthday Digital Mosaic Project” here: adamtopia.com/index.cgi?board=daily&action=display&thread=1319

• If you choose to donate to DonorsChoose.org I will include every project that we contribute.

• If you donate or support a local cause, post about it and I will include. It would be very helpful to include a photo.

• Be creative. You can do anything that is for someone else. Someone in my office did a random act of kindness for all or our departments. He kicked off the New Year by cleaning out 9 refrigerators all across the college. (Can you imagine how bad the refrigerators might be in University departments?) It was simple, useful and a delightful surprise. If you do something that is time, figure out the value of your time and include that in your post. Time is also currency.

The whole idea is to take an action that will make a difference -- and then put them all together and make that our gift for his birthday!

My plan is to load this digital mosaic onto a CD and package it in a special way. If you have any ideal on how to package it, post it in the thread. We just need to keep it mailable so I can send it to him. I will set it up so we can also Tweet him a link.

TUE, 15 JANUARY 2013



Adam Lambert suits up while attending the grand opening of Step Up on Vine on Monday (January 14) in Los Angeles.

The 30-year-old entertainer joined former President Bill Clinton and basketball star Kobe Bryant for the event.

Step Up on Vine is a campaign to renovate the 1920’s Galaxy Inn, so it can be converted into 34 units of affordable housing for the chronically homeless and transitional youth with severe and recurring mental illness.

Supporting those in need with mental illnesses, Adam Lambert attended the opening of STEP UP ON VINE in Los Angeles on Monday (January 14).

Sporting a toned-down look, the glam rocker wore a black suit with a skinny brown tie as he joined other celebrity supporters like former President Bill Clinton and Kobe Bryant.

According to the organization, Step Up on Second (the original location) involves individuals with severe and persistent mental illness in developing opportunities to reintegrate into the community. Step Up on Second is dedicated to long-term support of people in recovery and their families, offering quality housing, educational, social and work experience. Step Up is committed to increasing public understanding of mental illness.

Recently, the 30-year-old former "American Idol" contestant has been speaking out against bullying on his Twitter account. On Friday he tweeted, "I just don't want to see this generation develop into a bunch of victims. I want them to be empowered and ignore petty bulls--t. How? I think we should encourage kids to make new friends. Reach out to that kid eating alone at lunch. Focus in the positive."

Is Adam Lambert the next Michael Jackson? [/color][/size]

“American Idol” Adam Lambert will bring his new album to Shanghai to hold his first Mainland China solo concert.

By Qien Lienxei of DongFang Daily News Morning Edition

On the stage of American Idol Season 8 in 2009 there were the inexplicable presence of Adam Lambert who stunned and thrilled everyone. If the untamed black hair, bewitching black eyeliners and black nail polish is the manifestation of his powerful personal style; then his core must having been the superb stage presence, the other worldly hypnotic voice and the pure and sincere charm. On March 3rd this year, the 53th Grammy nominated Best Pop Vocal superstar will be bringing his new album ‘Trespassing’ to Shanghai. He will be performing on the stage of the Mercedes-Benz Culture Center; bringing us the only concert of his world tour that will be held in Mainland China. Tickets went on sale yesterday.

America’s first openly gay pop singer
Adam Lambert was not a guitar strumming boy-next-door overnight sensation. Before he past the audition of American Idol he had been working his way up in Hollywood for many years. This Hollywood boy started doing music theatre at age 10. After graduating high school, he gave up attending Cal State Fullerton and dived head first into working to make it in Hollywood. He also toured the US with music theatre companies.
On the stage of American Idol Season 8, Lambert’s sexual orientation was thrown into the open. As an extremely conservative mainstream TV program, once the question of sexual orientation showed up, it’s nearly impossible to keep advancing. Yet he miraculously finished the competition to the very end. Even though the title crown was given to Allen, Allen said afterwards ‘Adam deserves it.’ After American Idol, Lambert became the first Idol singer to appear on the cover of Rolling Stone Magazine before debuting his first album. In the picture he lay on an open closet (note: naked mattress?) Time Magazine called him the first openly gay singer. And his attitude towards this issue was ‘I know who I am, I have nothing to hide, I don’t believe God hates gay. God hates hate.’

In pop music world, only Michael Jackson and Madonna can push Being Yourself to the limit. The passing of Michael Jackson and aging of Madonna made people eager to find their heirs. Then there is Lady GaGa and Adam Lambert. When Lambert first burst onto scene, people were predicting him to be the next Michael Jackson or the next David Bowie.

Adam Lambert is hard to categorize. He can sound dark and cold or burning with passion. He’s crooning touches people deeply. He probably didn’t want to become anybody else; but just go on as he feels like it. “I just want to dress up, be famous. When you were a child you liked to play the game of Dream Comes True. I know this sounds childish, but if as an adult you kept the heart of a child, you are a ‘rock star’. That’s the kind of music I want to make, to encourage people by telling them dreams can come true, you can escape and find the music that interest you.”

New Album is sharp as talon but also tender as quiet confession
After the finale of 2009 American Idol, Lambert debut his first album ‘For Your Entertainment’. This album contained all sorts of styles, but didn’t do much to enhance his stage performance; yet worked by giving him a very colorful beginning. For Your Entertainment grossed 200 thousand dollars on it’s first week. And made Billboard chart at third place then top the chart the next week.

Three years later his second album Trespassing launched. One critic said ‘this kid from American Idol used the heart pounding rhythm of Queen’s ‘Another One Bites the Dust’ and the essence of Michael Jackson’s ‘Beat It’ to announce to the world he is their heir apparent.’ (note: there are actual English original of these quotes, I don’t have time to find them.) Like For Your Entertainment, Trespassing is another substantial album. It sold almost 80 thousand copies first week and was number 1 on Billboard chart. Rolling Stone called it ‘an excellent pop album that everyone expected Adam Lambert to make.’ ITunes put it on their top ten list of the Best Pop Album of 2012. Lambert seemed to inject his body, heart, soul and sweat into this album. For him, being low key and reserved is not his style.

Compared to the vast varieties of his first album, this new one that he co-wrote 12 of the songs showed clearer intent. First half of it are passionate, fun loving dance tracks, such as Brother Mars (the planet. aka Bruno Mars) penned ‘Never Close Our Eyes’, a song with strong personality. And the 90’s best George Michael era sound-alike ‘Kickin’ In’ ‘Better Than I Know Myself’ in the middle begins the transition from light and fun to self examination. It demonstrated his para-natural soul grabbing high notes and the quiet moments of self analysis with claws retracted.

The soul of this album is ‘Underneath’, which lifted the heavy fog and unveiled Adam’s true love to his lover. He stood there in solitude and naked, quietly singing ‘look at me, now do you see?’ ‘I don’t want to hide anything from you’ It is very moving. And the marriage equality anthem ‘Outlaws of Love’, ‘they say we’ll rot in hell but I don’t think we will, they’ve branding us enough: outlaws of love’ shows listeners this usually beautiful man’s extremely brave heart.

Last July Lambert were invited by the band ‘Queen’ to replace Freddie Mercury as the temporary lead singer for a series of big concerts in London, Poland, Russia and Ukraine. The stages of Shanghai are no strangers to Lambert. He had performed serval times here already. Last September he was invited to appear on The Voice China and became the first foreign artist to perform on that show. Also, last December 2nd he sange six songs in the Hennessy Artistry concert.


All Adam and magazine quotes might have English originals. I didn’t have time to find them.

American Idol star wows music fest in HCMC [/size][/color]

Last Updated: Friday, January 11, 2013 12:00:00

American singer Adam Lambert’s performance in the fifth Hennessy Artistry music festival on January 4 bewitched the audience at Ho Chi Minh City’s Nguyen Du Sports Center.

The nine songs performed by 30-year old Lambert, who was runner-up in season eight of the TV talent quest American Idol, concluded the invitation-only concert. The other acts were Portuguese soul singer Aurea and Korea’s Yoon-G.

According to many who were there, Lambert ignited the audience like no act in Hennessy Artistry shows in previous years.

Interestingly, the American was the only one of the three artists who went down to talk to the audience. He even asked a girl her name and said she was pretty.

On many social networks, the hunt for free tickets was frantic and many fans were disappointed to miss out. Rumor has it that a VIP ticket was being offered for a thousand dollars.

Lambert’s thirty-minute performance included all the numbers his fans were expecting like If I Had You, Naked Love, Cuckoo and Fever.

While the comments about Yoon-G were decidedly muted compared to Lambert’s reception, and Aurea’s, the Korean captivated many in the audience with her eye-catching beauty and accomplished dancing.

There were two duets on stage that night, Umbrella by Yoon-G and Aurea, and Are You Gonna Go My Way? by Lambert and Aurea. Both went down well.

Khanh Hung, music reporter of Song Nhac newspaper, told Vietweek that it was the best Hennessy Artistry show he had seen.

Prior to the concert, Hung added, Lambert had won over the Vietnamese reporters with his smart answers and confident manner at the press conference on January 3.
