I read this on Yahoo just before I logged on. Where does an article like this come from? I realize that Adam is a hit generator for articles but this seems so outdated and kind of random. It's not like he's got an album coming out in the next few weeks, so it doesn't seem very relevant (now the Sauli stuff, that seems relevant!) Maybe it because of the Grammy's but I thought it was kind of strange that they spun it in such a negative way. |

Q3, when I mentioned "backlash" in my previous post, I was not referring to any backlash from the record labels. I was talking about the fan-warring type of backlash.
I don't worry about Adam. Adam will take care of himself and as you stated he has a lot of options. Just as we saw last year when is was the Grammy fashion correspondent, he will put himself out there and make opportunities for himself.
For now chapter 2 is establishing himself as a relevant recording artist. I am looking forward to seeing where he takes us on his continuing musical journey.

I'm a few pages behind, but that is a really good article. Thank you! So I guess when we buy from Adam Official, we're doing good, or is that considered an RCA retail outlet? Or has this been answered and I'm behind. Nvm ... :-/ |

there were 6 comments..5 very positive and this negative one..so sad that there are people that feel this way
I loved Adam while on American Idol. And I don't care that he's gay or not. But I for one was turned off by the clown-like dress-up glitter and drag he seems to portray 24/7. I would have bought his album had it been from a clean cut young man with a great voice. But Rocky Horror is not something I care about as I live in the real world. He should save the outlandish flaming stuff for when he's singing in gay bars. Give us the good-looking gorgeous young man we fell in love with!
Tone it down, and maybe you'll get your audience back Adam!
Or I should say "tone it down, and maybe you'll get an audience of people OTHER than gay men".

The opening to this article is just like fingernails on a chalkboard to me.... Despite his being one of the most popular "American Idol" contestants in recent history, Adam Lambert's post "Idol" success hasn't been what the record company, critics, or fans expected. While "For Your Entertainment" has slowly climbed to 782,000 domestic sales and over a million worldwide, it's not the explosive multi-million sales success of "AI" alums Kelly Clarkson or Carrie Underwood. With all the controversy over Adam Lambert's outspokenness (on a variety of subjects) and bold displays of glam eroticism, does he need to take a step back? With a new album planned for 2011, should Adam make different choices than the ones he made with "For Your Entertainment?" Carrie is a country artist which is not comparable. And Kelly hasn't sold 1 million units of an album since 2004. Carrie has the last 7x platinum album in the US from her 2005 release, sold 3 million of her 2007 release and "only" 2 million of her 2009 release. The music business has changed and it is not just about album sales. Anyway -- I love Adam's "glam eroticism" and every other version of Adam except maybe the facial hair run wild Adam. (Pirate Adam OK with me!) I wish people would just let Adam be Adam. This post is Amen-alicious. And another one bites the dust: @adamlovessauli, who was spamming Adam's friends on Twitter to declare (literally every few seconds) that Adam belongs with Sauli and no one else, now comes up as "This user does not exist." I reported him/her for spam and I'm sure others must have done so too. Na na na na, na na na na, hey, he-ey, good-bye! |
