Thank you belle for your insight and honesty-and company. If nothing else comes from Adam and Sauli's relationship it did foster a great appreciation of the Finnish people with me, and I am sure, countless fans around the world.  |

I totally agree - on both counts. Always enjoy your posts, belle. Yours, too, Kay!  |

Nothing to do with the current conversation, but I just got lost down the Adam AI performances rabbit hole. At the finale with Queen, has anyone ever figured out what Brian says to Adam at the very end of the song? www.youtube.com/watch?v=BwrmqRw0d48 |

A couple of tidbits from the Nordic countries that I've learned lately regarding new pop music and the young singers like Julie Bergan that are getting radio play and interest here. If you're interested in new music you might want to check them out. Tove Lo (worked with Adam) gets a lot of attention, praise and radio play. Ace Wilder (performed at a club in Stockholm when Adam was there too) is now the most listened artist in Spotify in Sweden, she is now working in Finland with Finnish writers and producers. Lykke Li is also played on the radio. All these girls are from Sweden. A little less played is Mö (who appeared on a track on Avicii's True) from Denmark. A Finn, Jannika B (who was the first act in WAG Helsinki) has her sophomore record out friday and is on the radio. What else? Avicii is everywhere.  ETA I continued to read what Julie writes in her blog about Finland. She did promo interviews and some studio work here - and went to Jannika B's concert, LOL. All that yesterday, busy schedule! Also Janna (who took a pic with Sauli at Runyon) has her music out with the video that was shot in LA.  |

I don't think this is a real 'lego-Trespassing Adam', but it's cute, isn't it? 'lukemindless #adam #adamlambert'  |

Just wanted to say that the whole time when Kris Allen was on AI he was complimentary, gracious and kind towards Adam, and always recognized Adam's incredible talent. I am not a fan of Kris Allen and I was as devastated as so many others were when the winner was announced on the finale that night. Still basking in the performances of BETH and THE QUEEN songs, it was heartbreaking to hear the results of the voting. But I never blamed Kris for the upset. He looked more shocked than I was and he had nothing to do with whatever went on behind the scenes. And I will always remember that, at least from what was portrayed in interviews and various footage from the show, Kris always stood by Adam when personal questions were inferred about "lifestyle", especially when the AI tour was on its way across the country. The 2 men seemed to have a mutual friendship and respect for each other during the time when they were thrust into the post American Idol frenzy. I wish him well and imagine that Adam has only good thoughts for him and his family, as well. I am just reading the comments -- and wanted to respond to this. I assume it was inspired by the comments at the end of yesterday's thread -- including one made by me. Back in 2009 and 2010, in the heyday of Kradam, Kris was given the nickname OLFIP (our little friend in plaid) on the predecessor forum to Adamtopia -- Planet Fierce. It is a bit of an inside, snarky joke to many of the ATop members from that era -- including me. But is mostly used affectionately. ** I have never blamed Kris for beating Adam. I blame Adam fans for being too complacent and for not organizing properly. And Adam for not telling fans he needed their votes. ** Adam seems to usually look at the positive. But Kris' comments (11/2009) about Adam after the AMA performance were horrible IMO. And even Adam had to be hurt by them. Friends do not do stuff like that. If they were ever friends, and that comment makes me doubt it, then they certainly were not after that. [Note: It is not a one-off comment, it was just the grandest expression of things Kris had said in other places.] ** I think Adam deserves more credit for being so supportive of Kris' win -- from the beginning. He never once said anything negative about Kris or questioned the win. Not once. And think about what would have happened if Adam played the "gay card". It would have helped his career in the short term but hurt Idol -- a lot. As it is, I am an Adam fan because of his personal character, and because he is true to himself vs. only interested in maximizing success. That fact that he is gorgeous and the best singer I have ever heard live and love fashion and is constantly entertaining...also count. Finally, Idol was 5 years ago. It connect me and millions of fans to Adam. And I really only care about 1 Idol. Adam F. Lambert. |
