This isn't good!...now 'some people don't like Adam Lambert' is there for all. Don't blame Nile - he is obviously disappointed in the comments he's getting. Not a big deal - And yes, she probably had the right to express how she felt, etc etc - But this brings me to a pet peeve.... If someone wants/needs to use an Internet name that clearly identifies them with Adam, then they have to consider how their behaviour reflects on him, IMHO...this tweeter didn't mention Adam but Nile knew exactly what (he believes) she meant. It instantly connected to Adam by association. If this tweeter had used a neutral name, she could have presented the same thing without any hint of another agenda. I have always wondered how much good it does, outside the bubble, for fans to use Adam related usernames. A crazy good comment outside Atop and other fansites, from someone with an 'Adam' name, is always nice.....but does it also come 'with a grain of salt' because it's clearly from a devoted fan? I always look for comments that appear to be from new fans or more casual listeners. Don't mean to offend anyone.....I love anyone and everyone who loves Adam. Just something I've always wondered aboit. Whle I am in full agreement about havinga fan identifiable name being problematic, singling her out is not really fair. Nile did a long twitter exchange with quite a few folks, pro and con. Her comment was one of many through the course of 45 minutes or so of tweets. She is just a teen, was not disrespectful and later apologized to him in case he felt hurt by her comment. Agree - I know she is very upset about this and I feel sorry for her. Her comment was mild compared to others. Sadly, Nile was the one who singled her out and brought Adam's name into play. |

www.vh1.com/news/244342/2016-grammy-awards-worst-moments/?utm=share_twitterThe Grammys take a hit above IMHO,When the show ceases to be a popularity contest ,about how much money is being made,and becomes a real award show for Talent ,innovation and creativity maybe the Grammys will be worth watching.Kendrick Lamar was the shining example of what the Grammys should be about.. the rest fluff.

Isn't celebmix one of those sites like examiner.com where pretty much anyone can write an article? I saw the first few comments under the Sam Smith article yesterday and while they did all question why Sam and not Adam, they weren't horrible. I don't know what happened later or on Twitter. But it is embarrassing as a fan to see a lot of this stuff. I don't know if it hurts Adam in the long run. Every fandom has its extremes.

The truth is the truth.. delusion is not the truth.Whatever celebrix is or not, the article sure insulted Adam by not recognizing his great contribution to music and to LBGTQ charities . Celebrix gave credit for much of what Adam has done to somebody else who didn't deserve it.Kind of like rewriting history. |

She is just a teen, was not disrespectful and later apologized to him in case he felt hurt by her comment. Twitter is the devil! I embrace the fourth wall separating celebs from their "fans." Nile didn't really single her out, tho, IMO - it's not like he intruded on a conversation between her and her friends/"followers"(?) - she singled him out and, as if they were best buds or something, and tweeted "can I be honest? I didn't like your performance." Niles responded. Who really knows who anyone is on line - I see people questioning if she really even is a teen or not, but whoever, however old, if a person tweets out, anyone can tweet back if you don't block. Niles wasn't disrespectful to her, either. He made a point. |
