12.1.14 Q+AL BBC1 NYE Concert, Blue Adam, Q+AL XFactor

First of all, thanks to members who are welcoming me. I have a confession to make......I was posting earlier from my iphone and accidentally made a new account when I thought I was signing into my old one. I am really Andi4sure and not a new member. It is a sign of a wonderful group here that you take the time to welcome new ones. This is a warm and congenial forum! I am embarrassed about the mistake but will have to figure out how to delete one of my accounts.In my earlier post, I wrote what I remembered about the difficulty of artists like Adam getting any kind of radio play on the BBC stations, 1 and 2; I mentioned that they don't allot lots of space for non-British artists, and that also the new single the artist drops there MUST sell a large amount the first week to warrant consideration to be added to the playlist. It just doesn't work like it does here in the states.  How was an artist supposed to sell lots of singles the first week if  no one knows who he is? I don't mean to imply that Adam must break out there to sell here in the states, either. But if his music were to become popular in the UK, his popularity would increase beyond what it is now in Europe, etc., which would be a huge advantage for him. I just don't want people to get all disappointed when after all of this Queen exposure, Adam may still have difficulty getting his music played on BBC radio. It could happen, though, just saying.... Adam being well known and liked definitely helps his cause. I agree with you both, Q3 and mys*&@^#r50, that this NYE gig is a great way for Adam to become more well known there. He needs that. The enormity of what Adam is doing can be easily overlooked by those who don't know him or who are not Queen fans. If the majority of the UK public(and Queen fans) were to warmly accept him as a suitable singer for Queen, that is HUGE. A really gigantic feat. As far as Adam having "broken" already here in the states, that is true. But how many people here know and or remember him from five years ago? He was back in the public spotlight for the Queen tour. But when I say "Adam Lambert" to many people, they still respond, "Oh, that guy from The Voice!" I'm sick of that!(Nothing against Adam Levine, whose voice to me resembles a cat in heat)However, with the new management, label, and Adam's hard work, I believe Adam's chances to be a bigger presence on the music scene is much higher now. Q3, you mentioned earlier about the clever label who signed him being very patient. Agreed....I have heard people say that in the music business, timing is everything! Even though I may sound cautious, I am really optimistic and excited for Adam's opportunities! I am so damned proud to be an Adam Lambert fan!
