All this talk about Adam's finances already...  You could have asked and I would have given you this to refer to..  Don't give a rip personally how much $$ Adam makes..he lives a good life. Let Adam worry about money if he ever has the need to. My guess is that Queen is very generous to their lead singer. And to everyone else who works their tours. If Adam stops wearing Givenchy motif pants for Halloween, then take out the Tylenol. Oofta.  I figure he makes a couple of mil a year give or take, kind of like a college football coach. What interests me is what is he doing with that dough? Is it just invested in run of the mill tbills and mutual funds or does he have some targeted interests such as buying out a radio station, creating a talent agency, franchising a night club, etc etc. He's really studying new artists and new music trends beyond what is just beneficial to him. What's he planning on doing with that knowledge. And my fly on the wall self also wants to know if he's handing out some of that mulaah to those less fortunate, probably to a school of arts or a traveling musical theatre troup to play in schools. Yeah the things I want to know are probably even more intrusive than knowing his take home paycheck. It's more core to his being which is probably why we don't know a thing. But I've got a good imagination.  And don't forget he has side business as well, all those parties he hosted (Halloween parties, etc.). I think that's a business he and his buddy work together. |

I just saw a very funny Adam Lambert quiz which was created in Fuse website on this June. I am not sure if it has been posted before... www.fuse.tv/2015/06/adam-lambert-quiz-ultimate-glambert-the-original-high
 QUIZ ARE YOU THE ULTIMATE GLAMBERT? TAKE OUR ADAM LAMBERT QUIZ To celebrate the new album 'The Original High,' come brush up on your trivia and see how hardcore of a Glambert you really are Jeff BenjaminJeff BenjaminJune 12, 2015 SHARETWEETSHARE 11 / 13What were Adam's sleeping arrangements in the 'American Idol' mansion while he competed on the show? A. Kris Allen was his roommate, Adam slept on the bottom bunk B. Kris Allen was his roommate, Adam slept on the top bunk C. Allison Iraheta was his roommate, they shared a bed D. Was given his own room ........ I think the answer is D. The bunk bed was on the tour bus and yes, Adam and Kris were roommate at the beginning but then when people got voted off more rooms available and Adam got his own room. I'm pretty sure they said somewhere in an interview that they remained roommates even as the number of contestants dwindled down. But yes, the bunk beds were on the tour bus and before the tour started Adam made a joke about wanting the top. But we don't know if he actually got the top bunk on tour and if so, who was on the bottom bunk. |

I agree with everything you say here (including the "worse things could happen" part). I think Justin Beiber is talented, I know not everyone does. I like his last two songs - but I agree success at so young an age did not seem to serve him well, his dad seems very unlikeable to me, and I do not find Justin likeable personality-wise either right now. (Waaaay back I remember these tapes he made of himself "pranking" fast food workers, but really he was just being a jerk to them . . . ) But he is young and, I think, very, very immature for his age. I hope for him, though, to find himself, his better self. I remember that fist bump he and Adam shared at some Jingle fest long ago. That was cute. It must be remarkably weird to be Justin Beiber - all that fame, all that success, and yet . . . Everyone "hates" him, no one admits to liking him, yet he is always on the radio, always on the shows . . . it's hard to understand, to me.
Just a few thoughts about Bieber. I do think that becoming famous and extremely wealthy at such a young age must be very difficult. Other people have been "child stars" and handles it with varying degrees of success. Justin certainly has been coddled and pampered along the way. He's an immense cash cow for lots of people.
BUT, he is his own worst enemy, IMO. I thought by now he'd quit with the childish, petulant behavior, but he hasn't. He has an incredible entitlement complex, cancelling shows, throwing tantrums on and off stage, etc. YET, somehow he continues to sell millions and fill arenas despite all that. His fans are devoted and will forgive him of anything he does. He has a naturally prickly personality, short-tempered and completely un-self-aware, a bad combination.
I have a feeling, and it's JMO, that if Adam had been a child star like Bieber, his greatest asset would have been his naturally pleasant and easy-going personality. Adam does have an edge, but he knows how to behave when it's called for AND I BELIEVE HE WOULD HAVE INSTINCTIVELY KNOWN HOW TO BEHAVE IF HE HAD BECOME FAMOUS AS A SMALL CHILD. Justin has some talent, no doubt, and his fans apparently will never abandon him regardless of his behavior. Maybe he'll finally grow up and be a decent man. We'll see. I have sympathy, but only to a point. He should know better by now.
I don't think that it would have been so much INSTINCTUAL on Adam's part. I think it was more how he was raised by two parents who really saw the value in other people and instilled that in their sons. Plus, in an interview, Adam talked about how in the children's theater group everyone was expected to take their turn at both big and small parts and to contribute to all aspects of the production over the course of time. Both his parents and the children's theater group leaders taught him the value of everyone's contributions and it was a lesson that he apparently took to readily. It really shows in the way he thanked Micheal Orland for his help on Idol and in the way it pitched in on even the mundane jobs, such as ironing dancers costumes and cooking for the crew, during the Glam Nation Tour. |
