As an outsider to this world who knew of Adam but truly discovered him because of Queen, the sky is the limit for him. His potential and growth knows no bounds. With that being said and maybe because I'm still learning it all, I am a little more patient. Maybe that's the Queen fan in me because with their own trajectory, I have learned to wait. A very long time, LOL. In the meantime, we have a ton to look forward to, right? That's how I live my life; I try to live in the moment for the most part but having something to look forward to really keeps me going, whether it's a concert, a party, a vacation, etc. Adam is all three rolled into one, at least for me in the coming months.

lelemaple -
You are so right. We have so much to look forward to. Adam is going to gift us with excellence for the rest of our lives. He cannot do less. He has understood and appreciated his gift - his talent - for most of his life, I believe. His biggest concern - his life question - was whether he could withstand the cascade of fame that would inevitably come should he showcase this talent on a world stage - Idol. Granted, he did not leap to the top as we all expected, early on. Someone said that the AMAs showed Adam so unique and apart from Idol - the more I think about this, the more I agree. He broke free, in a way that left me hiding under the covers the morning after.
I'm waiting for an album - A3 - but I'm not waiting for Adam to 'become'. He is who he is; and who he is, is the most amazing performer I will ever know . . . and on and on and on and on . . .

Apart from Adam inferring he is going to keep things to his chest this time around, hence the secrecy. But I don't think the lack of information has anything to do with piracy. I get as fans we want instant gratification, as he has not had any new music out in a while now. But if we remain a little bit selfless, and see the big picture and think about last time. He talked about it all the time, their was so much feedback from fans. That when it was released, the promo cycle and rollout was not up to scratch, and Trespassing clearly did not live up to its potential clearly. So as much as I am anxious for his new music, I also understand its all about the big picture, and its all about timing. And theirs a process that needs to be undertaken. Yes it is frustrating when you see artists similar to Adam or even dissimilar to Adam, who get recognition. Be it Award Show's, Chart Success e.t.c. But Adam ain't some easily digestible Top 40 artist, he is complex. It's like the rest of the music industry is fine, soft sugar. And Adam is castor Sugar, if that made any sense at all haha. Like some said the public like safe, when it comes to Top 40 partic, they don't like to think, consumers want something immediate and now. Partic in this time of stress with the industry, since the MP3 age, the industry is loosing money. So Top 40 artists who can sell huge in a week are a priority. Hence why Carley Rae Jepsen, did very well with that Call me Maybe song a few years ago, that suddenlly no one cares about lol. It takes alot of patience, but I think ever since the Ama's. Although parts of the industry felt Adam showed alot of arrogance for a newbie. On the other side of the coin, your damn right he showed alot of arrogance. He showed on that night, he wasen't going to be the safe, gay kid from Idol who sits on a stool and belts out ballads, like some in the industry wanted him to be. He broke out of the idol bubble that night, and became Adam Lambert. So the past 5 years have been an interesting journey. In the short run he has struggled for Airplay, and Chart Success (Other then that WWFM song). But in the long run, it gave him an international fanbase. He got exposure and recogniton from legends like Brian May and Queen. Sometimes we put too much emphasis on award shows, and air play, and chart numbers e.t.c. We as fans lose sight of the purpose, and the big picture. Adam is a big picture artist, he is not going to sell records in millions like he is some kinda male Taylor Swift, yet  . I remember Rob Wells was it? Of RCA. Said he always felt like a multi platnum, selling arena artist. It's how you bottle that into an album. Currently no one has figured out to bottle this incredible talent and potential into an album, but I have a feeling A3 is Third times the charm.  |
