How about an album of covers with contribution from the original artists? i.e. Lenny Kravitz on guitar; a duet with Bowie; anything with Queen
This could be a huge success, increase his fanbase and raise his visibility so they can't ignore him anymore.
Just trying to put a positive spin on this.

It would just depend. I don't have much faith in RCA. As melliemom says -- an cover album held together by an imaginative concept is not certain death in and of itself. Some of these songs are part of the folk music of the world and Adam could certainly show himself to be the finest singer around -- blending pop, rock, and jazz in a way that could showcase his considerable artistry. Well done, such an album could be thrilling and beautiful.
But given the tone of this story, it's hard to feel that way right now. I really want to hear something from Adam or Shosh at this point.

E! Live Events @redcarpetteam Just announced Adam Lambert's next album will be ALL 80's covers. Praying for some Papa Don't Preach & Toy Soldiers!

What makes you guys think that if RCA cut him loose he would be picked up by another label immediately? i would be shocked if that happened. I am not hand wringing Sorry but I have to disagree . I don't think a smart label would pass the chance on someone so popular world wide . Well that would be most excellent  i do wish these label execs would have the balls to have their names published with their comments. It would give it more context. And with that i am outta here. Dont lose too much sleep over this or you will never make it to #3 |

Gee, it's been a while....
I have confidence it will all be ok. Shoshanna has said some things that indicate big things are coming. Adam is happy. Let's enjoy the ride.

Please don't shoot me, but I don't see what is so terrible about Adam doing an album of covers. I see fans all the time talking about how they wish he would do this song and that song cover during his concerts. On this forum we've had lists of songs we want to hear him sing. Adam did an amazing job of covers while on Idol, and before that in the Upright Cabaret. He is a marvelous song arranger and interpreter. And let's not forget how he "covered" a bunch of Queen songs a year ago. Pretty damned perfect, IMO. Also, every time Adam covered a "new" old song on tour, he got lots of positive press (i.e. Stay, Shout, and AYGGMW).
Many people really enjoy hearing the old songs they adored when they were younger given new life with a new arrangement, a new singer, a new interpretation. And for the younger generation, these songs are "new". On my "wish list" yesterday I talked about wanting Adam to do a TV special where he covered great songs from a number of different genres to show off his great voice and versatility. We have all commented about hearing the originals of songs Adam has covered and thinking that Adam did it so much better that no one else should ever sing that song again but Adam.
Given that top 40 radio seemed vastly uninterested in Adam's new music on TP for whatever reason, perhaps, just perhaps, a cover album might be a way to bring Adam recognition with a whole new group of fans. Heck, radio hasn't worked. Maybe approaching things from a different angle will be the ticket.
It's all just rumor at this point. Probably just B.S. Still, Adam has a way of giving us what we didn't know we wanted. And he IS THE BEST song interpreter I have ever heard. So, shoot me, but I would love to hear Adam put his own stamp on some classic songs from whatever genre. Maybe other fans will discover they like it, too. Hey, it could happen.

ARGH SO NOW IT WILL SPREAD AROUND LIKE CANCER . He'll have to address it now, dont ya think? A cover album BEFORE your own music is established is a death sentence to me. Goddammit....again. |
