We've got the DVD coming. That should help, no? Speaking of the DVD - we were, weren't we?  How do these live concert DVD's usually sell? IOW-how many units sold would it take to make the project a success? Worry-wart me wants enough sold to make TPTB happy because evidently they listened when Adam's fans clamored and even petitioned for a concert DVD. I hope the demand is there - the only gauge I have is watching the Amazon listing and it isn't doing real great there at the moment. Perhaps it will sell more when the release date is closer. I'm like that little doggie on the TV commercial who worries about his bone. worry.worry.worry. that's me. I'll join you in that worry....been watching it drop like a rock on Amazon. Have no idea how well it's doing on AO - hopefully we fans won't have to eat humble pie. (I love that little dog....worry...worry...worry.....worry ) edit/ cuz shoot, I wanted to say that I don't think there's anything wrong with speculating where Adam and Sauli are vacationing....it's not like anybody here has the inclination to seek them out in the South Pacific....no doubt they are at an exclusive, hoity toity, resort being pampered and having the time of their lives. |

Imma so, so happy for Adam and Sauli. They are both radiating such joy in those LAX photos. I hope their holiday is filled with 'specialness'. For Sauli to be back in LA after what - 10/11 days? I find very telling 3> 3> 3> Anyways, to celebrate their romantic getaway, I felt this a coming on...lol Q3 don't shoot me - K!   And sadly like others here, I am also going to need to re-cloak and go into stealth/lurk mode as my RL begins to wind up into major lifestyle changes over the next few months. I have some MAJOR shit to deal with first, but at the end of it I will be, hopefully, in a very, very happy place. Judge for yourselves.... this hopefully will be the view I will wake up to every morning  and it's only 55 steps to the beach,,,,yesssss!!!!!  |

We do not know the cost structure on this but VEVO funding the filming and editing . So the cost to RCA/Adam is any extras plus packaging and manufacturing, and distribution. They will cover costs and make money with just the AO.com sales as far as I can tell. The fact that they are distributing this at Retail in the US and selling it in many country ensures that this will make money. Plus, it indicates that RCA believes in Adam and this project. Think this one is a slam dunk. |

Cassie, I see, thanks. All is well.
This whole range discussion is always so mindless anyways. During that cheesy movie there was somewhere a moment where I thought I heard a bit of the new evolving voice - but it was way too short to be certain. I thought, wow this sounds like he is headed for a warm baritone voice and then thought that this probably would be his best chance at a career, because given the wholesome image that he portraits now and his quest to continue along this path, he will need such a voice to be able to sing any authentic material. If he would develop a very raspy or a very soulful voice or whatever else, it would go against image.
Something like that matters so much more than range. He has good rhythm and natural performance instinct - that will stay with him. But his technique, at least what they showed in the movie was horrible. And I mean breathing, sound formation, projection, that kind of stuff.
Obviously, right now it is impossible to tell whether he will ever be on pitch. The fact that he is not right now means nothing. But I do think that the fact that they let him perform (incl. loud screaming) during his vocal transition means to me that these experts he has surrounded himself with are anyways dimwits.
Anybody I have ever met who was experienced in classically trained voices said that during transition from boy's voice to man's voice the vocal cords need to mostly rest and only be gently exercised.
True for women too. Charlotte Church ruined her voice because she did not listen. Fame and fortune at the time (age 14-16) was more important than a career later. And I recall many opera singers at the time stepping in and telling her so. She gave up a potential top level career for 15 minutes of fame.
And AI is on a quest to find the future Adam Lambert among 15 year olds. I wish them good luck, but really, I wonder whether the vocal coaches on the show tell the kids what they are doing to themselves, if they sing full force while they are in transition.
Somebody should tell them.

@adamaddict_RH: FOX just did a long segment about the Blonds, and ADAM was a huge part of it. They said 3 times that he was a celeb that is dressed by them (others only mentioned once), but at the end they said that the Blonds were working on something special for Adam that was very hush hush. I'm so excite! because that means something is coming up that he will be wearing this hush hush outfit to! www.twitvid.com/YQQAYwww.twitvid.com/E7KXAUpdated: Wednesday, 16 Feb 2011, 11:45 PM EST Published : Wednesday, 16 Feb 2011, 11:45 PM EST By ANNE CRAIG MYFOXNY.COM - Glitz, glamour, and a whole lot of fun: Pop stars go ga-ga for The Blonds.
