This quote caught my eye.
Way more support was given to Adam Lambert than Kris Allen, and we all see how much effort the "Idol" machine put into launching Lee DeWyze's career.Was this true in the beginning? Kris got a great song for a lead single. I remember MJ's criticizing Adam's decision to become a "celebrity". Kris was doing small gigs while Adam was "partying". Adam was networking. He did Red Carpets, Magazine photo shoots (which he said he didn't get paid for), he gave an interesting interview. Every AI tour interview Adam won the reporter over with his charm. Dozens of interviews and different information came out in each one. Kris stated how he hated all those things. He was a home body who preferred to stay home. I have nothing against Kris and am not trying to make a Kris VS. Adam war. I just feel like Adam isn't being given enough credit. Did he start with more label support or did he earn it? |

And all very necessary smilies, too. I stole the gif from an old myspace page. This place lets you resize & crop gifs, something that photobucket won't let me, at least, do. www.freeonlinephotoeditor.com/ |

Translation: 0:00 - 0:45 "There might be a conflict brewing at the Maxidrom Rock festival between the fans of the pop artist Adam Lambert and the fans of the cult rock group Korn." - this rumor was on the internet before the concert started. Yuri Dontzov, one of the festival organizers: " About two and a half weeks ago we received a letter from Adam Lambert's fan asking about how Adam's fans would be protected. Then, the funniest happened - about a week ago we got a letter from Korn fans asking how THEY would be protected from Lambert's fans. 00:45 - 1:08- Even Korn Front man Johnathan Davis was skeptical about Lambert's performance at the event that over the years earned a reputation of being a Rock festival: "his participation is surrealistic..." 1:08 - 1:27 There were even threatening remarks from the fans of other groups. [the green hair person]: " The Prodigy fans will just beat Lambert up. There is no sense beating Lambert's fans - they are mostly girls, so we will beat Lambert. YES." 1:27 - 2:02 But the confrontation did not happen. Possibly due to the presence of the 2000 strong law enforcement or because of the 3 hours gap between the "light" performers and the hard rock segment. Yuri: " We intentionally placed the "light" performances like Brainstorm, Adam Lambert, Zemphira at the beginning of the festival and the "hard" ones at the end". 2:03 - end As a result - everyone was happy with the festival. (the two cute guys said "everything is great", the girl was "all super great", the couple - "hard to get beer, but everything else is just great"). The organizers admitted that they did not have enough concession stands as they underestimated the attendance. Hot weather added to the problem. They promise to improve next year. The festival received a EU classification "A" for open air festivals which means that the festival will be able to host REAL MEGASTARS. Q3 comment: This is an example of a news item associated with the concert and appropriate for posting in the news thread. A video of Adam performing or signing autographs for fans belongs in the concert thread. These kind of concert-related news items are very rare. If in doubt, post it in the concert thread.
