3 stars. 4 stars. 5 stars. Everyone will have their own opinion about each track or the entire album. It might get a Grammy nod or it might not. I try to think of TOH as the best "dish" that Adam has created. He took a long time to get all the ingredients and then slowly prepared and cooked it. Along the way he added some surprise spices, which may not appease to all palates. However TOH is received, he is very proud and that makes me very happy for him. He didn't take any shortcuts.

Has anyone noticed if the Tove Lo and Brian May fandoms are aware of collaborations on TOH? Queen fans are aware of "Lucy". They have had decades to organize and create online forums/networks. My take is some Queen fans like TOH, most are not interested in it and do not like pop music and/or electronic instrumentation. Here is one quote from a Queen fan who has become an Adam fan, "It's a pretty good album I think....worth listening to it to hear the Red Special wailing away on "Lucy", at the very least :D" The Queen fans are mostly interested in the South American tour and if Adam is going to record with Queen. Tove Lo is so new there is not a lot of online fan activity -- at least not in English. And there are not a lot of comments on articles about her (yet). She really is not an established pop star, she is an artist with two hit pop songs. She had a big, sleeper US hit in 2013, "Habits" #3 BB Hot 100/#1 Top 40, but did not build a fan base here. Her album, "Queen of the Clouds" (2014) peaked at #14 in the US -- #6 in Sweden -- has not had the expected impact, around 26,000 total copies sold in the US. But now with "Talking Body" having an impact in the US and Canada, she is doing radio promo concerts here. But I am not seeing much in the way of a "fandom" forming. This collab is a win-win -- great for Adam, but also is getting her a lot of press and exposure. [She is doing a lot of festival concerts - Firefly and Lollapoolza, radio promos, and some one-off solo concerts -- and that should build her fanbase.] |

OK people going to NYC next week....start tweeting Mix 106.1 @mixphiladelphia It's TIME! #Glamberts! RT this tweet & tweet back at us #Mix106HeartsAdam to win a pair of passes to the @adamlambert party in NYC! I gave in and tweeted... I am now officially ashamed of my own lack of self control...I am terrified of the possibility of having the majority of that small audience to be older (and often much older) than Adam. so, in reality I hope I don't win but just contribute to the volume of retweets, so the response looks decent. The only thing that would embarrass me (actually make me angry) would be to have fans (of any age_ go to something and tell Adam they are fans and they don't like his new music. And tell him what he should do. He is, of course, a "grown ass man".  It is not about age, it is all about attitude. Fans should be fans, not career and life advisers. And there are some fans who happen to be older, who give older fans a bad name. |

Let me just say that this close-up video simply shows off his incredible stage presence, how comfortable he is performing for so many people, and of course, those dancers  Really nice video, nice and close...Our weather is like that now, with storms but really, REALLY hot and humid... Ummm, it's nice if you have 'really hot and humid' but it's not the case in Finland. That day it was 16 or 17 C with a strong wind form the cold sea and some rain. Today was the warmest day so far in the south of the country, I in the west had 22 C (in the east a little bit more) - and still the awful wind throughout the coast that makes the otherwise nice temperature feel chilly, many people feel they need a warm coat.  |

In my opinion if his team was worried about that they would not have made the give away for front row. They are well aware of what they will get from the fan club give aways so I don't think you should worry about it at this point. If you win go and enjoy yourself. Rihannsu is right once again! You can bet if I was going to NYC I'd be trying to win, especially the ALF giveaway. Good luck and fingers crossed for all Atop folks! |
