I'd say the % sold is close to accurate. But what i don't think is accurate is the average price. For instance, the Forum has very few low price tickets to balance out the higher prices. I would say the average price is closer to $172. That is the price of most of their tickets. I think she got average by getting an average of the tickets'price each venue is using, without considering how many of each ticket there is. The good news is, we will have accurate figures for sales and revenue after each concert from Pollstar and Billboard! The Atlantic City %age is wrong. It is about 67% sold assuming the number of tickets sold is correct. My hat is off to the peeps following each and every venue and recounting those blue dots! |

To me it is only tangentially about Adam. If I was focussed on Adam, I would have been upset by the Rolling Stone article, which some fans were. IMHO, the LGBTQ community is still having a good gay/bad gay image debate and some of Adam's image issues (e.g. OUT magazine the first time around and the Miami article last year) come from being on the wrong side of that equation.
We are only a couple of years away from marriage equality and heading towards a post-gay world. Mostly we see progress as strictly a matter for the straight community. This article is a reminder that the LGBTQ community still has some growing to do. Well, maybe it was poor editing. It could be... Anyway, I noticed one thing. If I'm not mistaken, the first article (about Glenn coming out) was published around March 23. Adam tweeted about Glenn's FB post on March 25 : twitter.com/adamlambert/status/448408263630282752Glenn saw his tweet and thanked him. Maybe he noticed his mistake (not talking about Adam in the RS article) and wanted to set it right in his interview for OUT. And either due to poor editing or anything else his sentence sounded just wrong to me, I can't help it. Thank-you for the respectful engagement. A few fans thought that Adam's tweet was a polite way of saying to Tyler "Hey I'm here, too." Perhaps, also a few fans were rude to Tyler after his RS interview. It has been known to happen. However it came about, he clearly felt he had to say something and it came out badly.
Some people think it was OUT's editing. Some think the magazine and Adam reconciled a long time ago. I'm in the latter group.
In the final analysis, I'm certainly a fan of anyone coming out and they can reference whoever they want. |

Adam's fame and his many new fans make me less worried about him...  Oh ya! Me too.  |

Q3, I don't understand why you are criticizing OUT Magazine for the comments they printed from Tyler Glenn. Can you explain. Thanks, Clueless It appears that Tyler planned to correct his RS interview omission when he did the OUT interview. And he may well have done that ineptly but he certainly did not write the OUT article and edit it that way. (Plus, he still has not mentioned Mary Lambert.) Here is the RS comment... So Tyler does an interview with OUT and tries to fix it. What does OUT do? The put Adam's name in the headline to get clicks (OUT editors right the headlines) but the writer actual put the Adam mention at the end of the article and clearly edited the quote. Tyler's quote about Adam doesn't even make sense... The OUT writer paraphrased it as "first issue he wants to address is Adam Lambert..." when I believe what Tyler actually said was something like the first issue he wanted to address was his omission of Adam Lambert in the Rolling Stone interview. Then the quote that follows does not really make sense. So while I think that Tyler needs PR help (or maybe should just go back to playing music.) I am convinced that OUT mangled that quote and the way it was presented. OUT has a history of butchering things in the way they present interviews. So I do not trust them. And the end of this article makes not sense to me. >> And frankly, he would have been better off saying that Adam is great and too bad he has not gotten the same support on radio and in the market that Macklemore has gotten. That would have been my advice to him. And Tyler should really, really have mentioned Mary Lambert! And why didn't OUT remember Mary Lambert? |

Sorry, but he makes a point of saying he will address forgetting to mention Adam in the RS article and then he say's he "ENJOYS" him! COME ON!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! What they printed is not necessarily exactly what he said. They print portions of statements out of context all the time. For all we know he spoke full paragraphs of Adam-praise and they chose only to print very little of it. I do not trust this magazine at all. Yes, that is what I was trying to say! Exactly. |

In the final analysis, I'm certainly a fan of anyone coming out and they can reference whoever they want. I will not try to guess why Adam tweeted but there were comments about Adam on that Rolling Stone article in 1, 2, 3 seconds...so Adam did not need to remind Tyler he (Adam) existed. ** I so not think OUT was dissing Adam. I think OUT.com is a poorly written and poorly edited publication. IMO it was not intentional, it was inept! ETA: I just checked to see if I was unclear on my post -- but I opened it with this, "I think that is another terrible edit by OUT Magazine – and I think it was not intentional – just poorly edited." I think that as clear as I can get. I do not think Tyler should be getting bashed by Adam fans because a writer did not do a great job on an online article. |

Is multiple voting allowed? I just tried twice and on the second one it said "We've already counted your vote". Maybe once per day, I'm not sure. |

And this is one of things I admire on Adam - he is so quick-witted and clever and manages to get things to work in the way he wants. I agree! Just... as Adam's fan I want the best for him, including people getting him the credit for everything he did especially for LGBT comunity. I think he deserves it. |
