I just called, Adam will be appearing on July 18th It's through IHeart So, guess no tics thru the FanClub at this late notice. Wonder if this is say 6 songs or maybe he'll do more from TOH. Shoot......it's so soon and so far away and so expensive....LOL The casino told me they don't know yet if there will be tickets sold or if it will just be through radio give aways. Said they just found out today about it and they should know more soon. |

Thinking if this is just a radio thing....not a more lengthy show....it might not be worthwhile to me to spend all that $$ to try and attend. Guess we shall see. |

Me too. They did spin GT recently so I think they are a good station to request from. We need spins. Let's do what we can This is a really good one |

Damn these are the times I wish I livd in southern California...or had relatives. I have air miles will often get you places but the cost of 'being somewhere' is just to high...grrrr.... Vancouver is pretty close and touted yearly as one of the top places in the world to live...with a strong and vibrant gay community...wonder if Adam could be persuaded to live at least part of the year up here...I could help facilitate things...offer to 'sponsor' him or something...haha

I liked Taylor's letter to Apple, and was pleased that Apple responded so quickly and positively. But then I read the letter from the photographer who says Taylor doesn't pay for their work, expects to use their photos for free in perpetuity! So she doesn't practice what she preaches? Perhaps a little....but the difference is that I am assuming those pictures are of her. She is claiming their use as partial owner because she is the subject. When apple is using an artists music and not paying, they cannot claim the same connection at all. I think the situations are quite different...the photographers still have the 'use value' for them self...the 'royalty' as it were. Apple was not giving that to the artists and therein lies the difference. As far as I can tell..... eta...exactly 4ms...I wrote this before seeing your post. And think about it...Taylor is the only reason these pics have any monetary value!! wtf...I do not see what leg these photographers think they have to stand on... But didn't the photographer say it was in her contracts, therefore these are photographers hired to take her pictures, but they won't receive compensation if she uses them? I don't think he is Paparazzi, who take pics on pure speculation. But what do I know? I'm not sure exactly how Apple's music service will work, but my understanding was that they agreed to pay the artists something like 70% of the profits, not a certain amount per spin (which I understand for Spotify, etc., is much less than 70% of the profits) ... that's why Taylor said Apple was going to be doing it right ... but for the first 3 months there won't be any profit if everything is free to the users, which is why Apple wouldn't have paid ... but kudos to Apple for agreeing to pay above and beyond what their contracts with the music providers (labels?) were ... |

Yep, if it's a real full length concert I'm definitely Interested but not for 4 songs. Also, it's not listed on Ticketmaster. |

Official youtube from AOL Build. Taped June 17, 2015. Adam Lambert on His New Album 'The Original High' AOL BUILD www.youtube.com/watch?v=9lt8CV-ONpE&feature=youtu.bePublished on Jun 24, 2015 With his incredible vocal range, Adam Lambert stepped into the spotlight in 2009 on American Idol and hasn’t left it since. His first two albums were Billboard chart-toppers and he was a Grammy Award-nominee for his mega-hit “Whataya Want From Me.” He’s just released a new album, The Original High, and the first single, “Ghost Town” is already a summer hit. Interview at AOL HQ in NYC for AOL BUILD. |

I was thinking perhaps we can get 4Ms to remind us about giving the video hits since I believe that counts for Billboard. But I think it is just for Ghost Town and not the album. Is that right. Still, if GT gets on hot 100, (and even if it doesn't) it is another way to push it along I think Q3 finally pounded it into my head... Streaming is the most efficient play now that the album is out. Ghost Town streams count for the single and for the album. The Ghost Town music video plays count for the single. Whether the music video plays also count for the album is at best questionable. We're all multi-tasking ourselves to death, why use up our precious fan-time for a questionable return? |

If the photographers are hired, they are being paid. However, they don't retain ownership of the photographs and can't get another payment for selling them to someone else. |
