Reposting. No one else cares? Or did I miss the flailing? You don't have to be French to be excited about this. French
lawmakers on Tuesday extended marriage and adoption rights to same-sex
couples, making France the 14th country in the world to legalise gay
marriage.
The US is far behind so many other countries in human rights. Makes me feel kind of ashamed.

Ummm I think Sony is like the parent company and like RCA is like under it's umbrella or whatnot? Something like that....I could be wrong....someone will better explain it I'm sure this is very confusing...I also thought he was signed to RCA and RCA was under/part of SONY ... I suppose Shosh would guess who Duckbert's "favorite artist" is by the "...bert" ... So, assuming he was "signed", will we hear him talk about the "next album" instead of " new music" now? Q3? anyone else has any insight? Shosh's answer simply means that tweet about 'Universal' has nothing to do with Adam..... Duckbert's favourite artist (Adam) is signed to Sony(RCA) not Universal.... so the tweet is about someone else. |

I think Shoshana meant that since Adam is signed with Sony, her meeting with Universal has got nothing to do with him. ![]() ETA what geezlouise said...  |

NoAngel @noangelpf 12m Diva By Diva: Eight Songs Adam Lambert Must Cover - thebacklot.com logo.to/ZGMLES via @thebacklot  If there’s one thing we’ve learned about Adam Lambert over the years, it’s that as a recording artist as he is, that flash and fire is multiplied once he hits the stage. This wasn’t lost on Brian May, who hand-picked Adam to perform with Queen, bringing his own interpretation to such classics as “We Will Rock You.” Is there anyone else of his generation that can step into Freddie Mercury‘s Adidas Samba, and not look ridiculous? No. In fact, Adam makes it a habit to pay tribute to divas and icons in his shows, from an acoustic version of Rihanna’s “Stay” to a spirited go at Donna Summer’s classic “Hot Stuff”, to many more. more. . . . . Great article!!! Love the choices!!! :D :D :D |

China Idol! Wow!! Performance on their opening Gala! An interview to air on show! And he is even in an audition episode! I LOVE CHINA!!!! I SO AGREE BUT......................................... I am so disappointed w USA mgt for not "tooting' Adam's success in China. Granted it's not a Grammy award BUT it is a hugh honor (the CMA) and like someone said earlier, a hugh music market. I'd be 'f n' tweeting every friggin station about this award then maybe radio would give air time to his next single. I click on People.com and you will see various artists getting awards and making fashion statements,etc OK then RCA tweet a msg to various news sight and boost about their artist achievement. IDK but a contractor came into my office and saw my signed auto from AL and made a comment that she didn't even know he was still around. damn... yes he is not the TOP 10 artists that radio loves but he still successful more so than 90% of other recording artists. OK I'm just venting. but if I didn't read atops, then I would have no idea what success he is having overseas. Just disappointed w his mgt I agree that I wish RCA would make a bigger deal out of the TV exposure Adam is getting in China -- but I am a realist, RCA is responsible for US sales and being big in China (or most other countries) means very little to US music buyers and radio PDs. China will someday be an important music market, but currently and for the near term, it is very difficult for record labels to make money in China. Adam and his management can make money from sponsorships, but it is the #20 (or so) market for sales of recorded music (all formats) and it is the #1 source of online pirated music (+ stolen software, movies, books and other intellectual property) for the entire world. The Chinese government has made a couple very modest efforts to fix the IP protection issues but without some real, significant improvement in legal protection, the labels will continue to be lukewarm on China (and several other countries in the world -- like most of the Mediterranean countries.) Regarding the CMAs -- As a TV program that is widely seen (125 million views), this appearance is important. I am not sure how important this award is as an award. There is no academy, it is not something that is placed on product packaging, and I believe the nominees and winners are selected by the producers. |
