Intriguing... RT @ginnyblackmore: I never thought I could write a song that would raise eye brows......but I think I just did it......

ArohaAdam Jay
@ginnyblackmore do you mind me asking how you came to be working with Adam? We Kiwis would love to know.

@arohaadam I'm a writer, it's just my job! We were connected by labels. x





What does that mean??
6.4.11 by Q3

We now have migrated the Adamtopia Dictionary from old ATop to this site.

Thanks to miachihu (AKA Mia) for consolidating the old ATop and my original PF dictionaries into one reference set, then adding in many missing items. The consolidation incorporates the work of many fans and the original actually goes back to March 2009, long before anyone had conceived of Adamtopia.

There are three sections:

1. DICTIONARY (of Adamized words)

2. ADAM-RELATED ACRONYMS OR TERMS

3. STANDARD CHAT, E-MAIL, WEB, TWITTER AND COMMENT SLANG AND ACRONYMS

So check out this amazing piece of work and post if you have additions or an alternate definition. Here is the link to the thread: www.adamtopia.com/index.cgi?action=display&board=announcement&thread=350&page=1

Voting Opportunities

I have changed my recommendation on VH1 Do Something Awards to DO NOT VOTE
5.27.11 by Q3

On 5.25.11 I recommended voting in this competition. Since then I have done some additional research and testing.

1. Voting for the celebrity online awards is just a way to build awareness for the real awards show.

2, Adam is not nominated for any award. The only way to vote for Adam is as a write-in. It takes much longer to cast a write-in vs. voting for a nominee. There is no limit on voting. So 10 minutes of Adam fan voting time can be wiped out in about 1 minute by someone voting for a nominee.

Poll rating (0=lowest rating, 10=highest rating)

Adam benefit: 3 – a win could raise awareness of The Trevor Project.
Fairness: 3 - there is an attempt to limit voting for just one category but it is very easy to work around.
Potential to win: 9 – The voting structure makes a write-in vote very timeconsuming.
Fan value: 2
RECOMMENDATION – vote only if you are willing to work really hard.


About the awards: DoSomething.org and VH1 have partnered to present The Do Something Awards to honor young people's commitment to social change. VH1 is doing a series of online contests to promote this event – they have nominees but also accept write-ins. One of the celebrity categories could help Adam but, more importantly make a difference.

The category: Charity Song

The write-in: @adamlambert for "Aftermath Remix" and mention the Trevor Project.

You need to sign in on Twitter or Facebook to vote.

Below the SUBMIT button, it says:

“Did we miss your favorite?
NOMINATE YOUR OWN!”

Clink on “NOMINATE YOUR OWN!” and you will get a voting pop-up window.

Note: If you send a really clever tweet, VH1 may retweet it.
