EXCLUSIVE Photo Of The Moment: Adam Lambert & Lenny Kravitz
15 Nov 2013

Lenny Kravitz was the surprise host for the "Who Do You Worship" event at Church Boutique in West Hollywood last night. Adam Lambert also attended the event and he was able to meet Lenny Kravitz for the first time.

This event took place on November 14th, 2013 in West Hollywood, California.

They were very happy to meet each other. When Lenny was leaving he called Adam over and they exchanged goodbyes, how each one was honored to meet the other and they embraced and they hoped to see each other soon. There was video camera's around.....except for the one in my pocket. It remained there. Too much in this town a moment like that is sold. It is their memories.

Earlier, I talked with Adam about his fans and new music. For that story, click HERE. (below)

I want to thank Mathieu Bitton for providing this photo he took of Adam and Lenny together. Mathieu was one of 4 artists whose work was displayed at the event.

Please support Mathieu on Twitter, Instagram, and Facebook.

A special shout out to Church Boutique for hosting the event and keeping it private.-DocFB

Glam! Adam Lambert “I Seriously Have The Best Fans!” New Music On Way!
15 Nov 2013

Note: This was not a formal interview with Adam -- just a conversation while some pictures were being taken. Since it was based on the Doctor's recall, I think this may not be Adam's exact words. Q3

DrFunkenberry & Adam Lambert

Adam Lambert attended the "Who Do You Worship" art and photo event at Church Boutique last night that was being guest hosted by Lenny Kravitz. Our art friend Mathieu Bitton invited us.

This was my 3rd time meeting Adam and each time I introduce myself, not sure he knows who I am yet. I asked if for us to take a photo with him so I could post on my site for his fans because how dedicated they are to Adam when I post about him.

"I seriously have the best fans. They are so wonderful and amazing. They are just amazing. They are so loyal."-Adam Lambert 11/14/2013

I couldn't agree more. In the first photo, we had some weird light shining across us so another was needed to be taken.

Doc: I hear you are recording a new album?

Adam: Yes. I have been back in the studio and things are sounding great.

D: I am very upset that "Trespassing" did not get the support and recognition it deserved from your label.

A: (Leans In) That is why I am no longer with them!

D: There were so many good songs. The stuff with Nile Rodgers.

Adam shakes his head in disdain.

D: I am so happy things are going great for you on Glee.

A: Yes. It has been an amazing experience.

D: When will you guest DJ on Ellen again?

A: When? (Laughs) I wasn't actually DJing. Just pretending to spin.

D: I don't care! I am just glad Ellen and others are giving you shine!

I thanked Adam for his time and say I will be in touch with his people. All of this is within 2 minutes. We didn't sit back and talk. It was just during the photos. A brief but cool conversation.

Hopefully in the future, when needed, there will be a longer one.-DocFB

Glee Season 5 Spoilers: Who Are The “Frenemies” in Episode 9?
November 15, 2013 at 08:00AM EST by Beth Douglass

After December 8’s Christmas episode, Glee is going on an extended mid-season break and won’t be back until spring 2014. But when the show finally does return, we’re in for a ton of drama. And scandal. And, more likely than not, hookups.

Season 5, Episode 9 is called “Frenemies,” and while we’re not sure of all the potential freemy pairings, we’re pretty confident about the top three. Based on the rumored song list, it looks like Rachel (Lea Michele) and Santana (Naya Rivera) will be going head to head.

There’s no doubt that Rachel and Santana have the perfect frenemy vibe. But why is Santana singing Rachel’s signature Funny Girl song? It’s possible that she’s just trying to prove she’s a better singer. After all, nobody does “Don’t Rain on My Parade” better than Rachel. (Or Barbra Streisand but we digress.)

We’re also wondering if Santana might be stepping in for Rachel as an understudy. Every Broadway star needs one, right? But doesn’t that sound like the potential for even more frenemy fights? Yikes.

Another frenemy couple appears to be Kurt (Chris Colfer) and Starchild (Adam Lambert). We knew they were going to be rivals, but if you ask us, this looks to be more the sort of situation where two people yell and fight and then suddenly start making out.

Chemistry. Sexual tension. And they’re singing the lyrics “I wanna kiss you every minute, every hour, every day.” So there’s that.

The final pairing also appears to be the potential romantic sort of enemy type. It’s former lovebirds Artie (Kevin McHale) and Tina (Jenna Ushkowitz), who are more or less singing two songs about being in love...or not wanting to try because the other person missed their chance the first time.

This is great, but we never realized the term “frenemies” could have such a romantic connotation. That’s news to us. So, excuse us while we go back and watch Mean Girls in a whole new light. Also, Ryan Murphy? Pezberry. Lopez + Berry. Just think about it.

Rolling Stone reviewed the November 14th episode of Glee
(5x05 “"The End of Twerk”)
and I agree with them 110%.

"The End of Twerk." If only the title of this week's Glee episode were true.
…

So Glee jumped on the bandwagon and centered a show around the dance. (Sadly, Adam Lambert's Starchild was nowhere to be found in this episode.)

Dreaming for A3

Note: When I saw this article in Billboard, all I could think is …. “Hmmm, won’t it be nice if Adam…..” So to New Label, this is my shopping list for you to consider for promotion of your new artist, Adam F. Lambert. I will be completely happy with any three items from this list -- 4, 6, and 8. Thanks in advance, Q3.

The Top 10 Platforms That Move Music Now
By Billboard Staff | November 15, 2013 8:00 AM EST

Whether they're performing at an awards show, rocking the stage at a huge festival, or licensing your tune for a commercial spot, there are numerous ways for artists to expose their music to the masses. But which methods are really the most successful? Billboard surveyed industry experts, asking them to rank a series of media, marketing and promotional vehicles on a scale of one to 10 for their ability to drive sales and their value in generating buzz and exposure in today's marketplace. Read the top 10 below, and buy this week's issue of Billboard Magazine to see the full list of the top 120+ platforms for maximizing exposure. (Get the full list here: shop.billboard.com/collections/back-issues/products/billboard-back-issue-volume-125-issue-45 or buy an e-copy on iTunes.)

DATA SOURCES: Nielsen (TV), Nielsen SoundScan (music sales), Billboard Boxscore (concert attendance), comScore (Internet), Audit Bureau of Circulations (print), Broadcasters Audience Reserarch (U.K.), Radio Joint Audience (U.K.), Video Research Japan, SoundScan Japan and company estimates.

2. Performance During the Grammy Awards
Rank Last Year: 2, Audience: 28.4M
More than 28.4 million viewers tuned in this year to the second-most-watched Grammys of the past 20 years (per Nielsen Media Research). Overall album sales were up 17% for the week ending Feb. 17, and digital track sales increased by 8%.

3. Performance on 'Saturday Night Live'
Rank Last Year: 5, Audience 6.5M
After Of Monsters and Men performed on "SNL" on May 4, their album sales jumped an immediate 78% (for the week ending May 5), and then rose 23% the following week (ending May 12). Macklemore & Ryan Lewis' March 3 appearance drove sales gains of 83%—the second-best sales week ever for The Heist, which moved 42,000 units. Only its debut week topped that.

4. Song in a TV commercial That Runs During a Special Event with Significant Viewership (Super Bowl, Oscars, Grammys, etc.)
Rank Last Year: 4, Audience (For 2013 Oscars): 40.3M
During the Super Bowl, acts like the Flaming Lips, PSY and Stevie Wonder got major looks. But the master was Justin Timberlake, who generated major buzz for "Suit & Tie," the lead single for "The 20/20 Experience," in spots for Target and Bud Light Platinum during the Grammys.

5. Home-page placement on iTunes
Rank Last Year: 3, Audience: N/A
Billboard estimates Apple's iTunes Store had a -market-leading 41% share of all music retail U.S. accounts in 2012. Despite concerns that iTunes is more focused on apps, leading iTunes analyst Horace Deidu estimates music revenue is growing by 15% every year.

6. Performance on NBC's "The Voice"
Rank Last Year: 37, Audience: 14 million
Robin Thicke's "Blurred Lines" exploded into public consciousness after a May performance nearly two months after the single's release. The song rose 42 slots to No. 12 on the Billboard Hot 100, selling 206,000 downloads the week of the appearance, triple the previous week's tally. All genres do well with the show: Hunter Hayes' "I Want Crazy" sold 110,000 copies in June, nearly double the previous week; Maroon 5's "Love Somebody" moved 72,000 in a week after selling only 11,000; and season-three winner Cassadee Pope used the platform to debut her "Wasting All These Tears," selling 125,000 downloads.

7. First arena-level headlining tour
Rank Last Year: 6, Audience: 20,000 per show
Acts like Ed Sheeran, who had a recent run at Madison Square Garden, are using arena shows as a key next-level step to becoming a global superstar.

8. Performance on MTV Video Music Awards
Rank Last Year: 12, Audience: 10.1m
The 21 songs that were performed during the 2013 VMAs—including the 11 sung during the Justin Timberlake/'N Sync medley—sold 1.8 million downloads for the week ending Sept. 1. Katy Perry's "Roar" benefited the most, selling 392,000 downloads for the week that ended the day the VMAs were held, Aug. 25, before jumping to 448,000 in the ensuing week to hit No. 1 on the Billboard Hot 100.

9. Performance on Coachella Main Stage
Rank Last Year: 10, Daily Audience (6 days): 30K
Phoenix used its April 15 Coachella performance to help launch its album "Bankrupt!," released a week later. The French group made headlines by unexpectedly bringing out R. Kelly during the set.

10. High-Rotation TV Ad for a Leading Car Company
Rank Last Year: 7, Audience: N/A
Country singer Will Hoge got to fill Bob Seger's shoes when Chevrolet tapped him to pen a new jingle for its Silverado Trucks. The song, "Strong," helped set up the singer's latest album, "Never Give In" — which debuted at No. 23 on Top Country Albums the week ending Nov. 2—and is currently climbing the Hot Country Songs chart.
