I just listened to some of Cook's new songs, although I never followed him duirng AI, I'm just not a hugh fan but I did like the song "Take Me as I am" I really would like to hear Adam sing this song. I do wish him success as he helped Adam in some way. DIdn't Adam say he followed Cook's "game plan' during his run for AI. Q3..I like you how positive you are regarding Album #2 for Adam. I'm just so nervouse as I want it to be a hugh success and I know I will like the album no matter what. He can sing "Baa Baa Black Sheep" and I will hail it as the second coming of Beethoven. As are as Adam's next tour, I can't imagine how much I'll have to pay just to get up close. t I'm actually hoping for less GA venues with Adam's 2nd tour so I can pay big bucks for front row! I am not a stand in line kind of person. I like sitting at a bar and/or restuarant nearby and showing up just in time to buy some merchandise then sit down! It's actually not even the line I mind as much as it is the rude, pushy people that are sometimes up front at GA. And that you have to be glued to your spot, once you get there. I hear you. I don't want to stand and I don't want to do GA. Last night's venue was one of the old theaters that had been restored. It was gorgeous, the seats were comfy, and it was all quite civilized! Definitely my preference. |

Typical "No news" Adam day: But how about more news? In the order of my preference: 1. a song snippet leak 2. a new deep interview 3. Add date for the single 4. An announcement for a cool big endorsement deal 5. Release date for the album 6. a major twitter fail :D 7. New Adam+ Sauli pics See? I'm not asking much am I?  I like your list! I'd move "a major twitter fail to the top and add to the list a twitter party.  Who is going to let Adam know the new daily schedule! 1. a major twitter fail 2. a song snippet leak 3. Add date for the single 4. a new deep interview 5. Release date for the album 6. New Adam+ Sauli pics 7. Twitter party / bubble tweet 7. An announcement for a cool big endorsement deal |

www.ontopmag.com/article.aspx?id=8714&MediaType=1&Category=22Adam Lambert, Lady Gaga Tweet Support For Gay MarriageBY ON TOP MAGAZINE STAFF PUBLISHED: JUNE 20, 2011  As New York inches closer to possibly legalizing gay marriage, singers Adam Lambert and Lady Gaga tweet their support. Lambert, the 29-year-old openly gay runner-up of American Idol season 8, messaged on Sunday to his more than 1 million followers a link to his website featuring a quote from comedian-actress Liz Feldman: “It's very dear to me, the issue of gay marriage. Or, as I like to call it: 'marriage.' You know, because I had lunch this afternoon, not gay lunch. I parked my car, I didn't gay park it.” “Exactly,” Lambert said. “If we want to progress as a society we have to begin to focus on how we are the same and now how we're different.” ....

I like sitting at a bar and/or restuarant nearby and showing up just in time to buy some merchandise then sit down! It's actually not even the line I mind as much as it is the rude, pushy people that are sometimes up front at GA. And that you have to be glued to your spot, once you get there. I hear you. I don't want to stand and I don't want to do GA. Last night's venue was one of the old theaters that had been restored. It was gorgeous, the seats were comfy, and it was all quite civilized! Definitely my preference. ITA. I want to be in a seated venue (even though I stand up the whole time) so that I have control over where my seat (standing spot!) is located. My first show was at Mystic Lake on the 12th row. Great seats, but after I lost my virginity, I decided that (1) Seeing Adam Lambert just once was not nearly enough and (2) I HAD to be closer. I saw him at the Ryman on the 5th row. At that awesome venue, 5th row was really close. Then I saw him in New Orleans, on the first row behind the pit seats (actual 3rd row) and in Atlanta on the first row behind pit seats (actual 4th row). The closer you get, the better it gets! I love watching his facial expressions and his sexy moves and even the sweat drip fly off him!  I also saw him at the Tabernacle and could have been on the floor, but wasn't sure I could handle standing that long in the oppressive heat so we sat in the balcony. Amazing concert! My last show was after the Rays game and actually was the least enjoyable because I had to stand in line forever, then listen to teenaged girls try to scream sing along with Adam, and also deal with the rude people who tried to push their way in front of us. My only regret through the six concerts was that I didn't take the plunge and buy front row seats for at least one concert so that I could have been covered in "spit and glitter"! I WILL do that for Tour 2 as many times as I can afford. (Have to save money, have to save money) With so many of us vowing to be on that front row, it may get a little crowded and a lot competitive!  |

I can definitely see that Cook put a lot of musical effort into this album. It's well put together. There are several songs that I really like. By the middle of the album, I wanted to say " Dude, lighten up". There are some HAC friendly singles on this album. Cook is going to need a big single to get people to take the time to listen to the entire album. Not really commenting on Cook's album here because although he seems like a very likeable guy, I don't really know anything about him or his music, but after a quick listen of this stream, Readon, I know what you mean by "lighten up" and it's becoming a little too familiar a tune, I think. Please correct me if I'm wrong, because I'm building a theory out of random snippets that I've absorbed, but I feel like there's been a mini-trend of sorts lately in pop music towards songs that are a little heavier, or more messagey, or achingly sincere. And I'm not knocking it--I think it's great that artists are trying to do something with their music, are writing about things they really care about, etc. But the biggest, and I think fairest, knock on Gaga's new album is that it seems to entirely lack a sense of humor (this extends past her music and into her presentation, as well) and I feel like that humor, that wink, had been part of her earlier charm. Pop music can indeed change the world (or it and the world change in harmony--it's hard to tease out cause and effect), but it is also wonderful when it provides an escape from the world. The thing that sets POP apart from other forms for me (because it is indeed hard to define "pop") is that it can be a lot more fun at times. It doesn't have to be, and it certainly shouldn't always be, but it can be, and that's important. I think part of the explanation behind the run-away success of Cee Lo's "Fuck/Forget You" is that it hit a FUN note just when the rest of music--even perennially fun Katy Perry--was trending towards taking itself much more seriously. Cee Lo's song felt like a relief in that climate. What does this mean for Adam? I am truly happy, like the rest of you, that Adam is embracing honesty, and #realness, and all the rest of it with this album. I find that exciting. But one thing that I always loved about Adam from the very start was that he didn't take himself nearly as seriously as so many artists do--that is he took his art and his talent seriously, but not himself or his genre. He welcomed the poppiness of pop. He welcomed that it was supposed to be silly and fun sometimes. I think that is part of his #realness, actually. So I hope Adam has a lot of songs on this coming album that he feels deeply, and that communicate truths that he wishes to communicate, but I also deeply, sincerely, honestly hope the album has a great sense of humor, and doesn't fall into the heaviness that Gaga's and perhaps Cook's albums have gotten stuck in. I hope some wacky, dancy silliness remains. Because I love that side of Adam. #doesthismakemeentitled? |

Catz - I was really disappointed when your post ended. I want more, please. I had a few tears at the beginning. Felt your pain.
I am sitting here listening to Cook's album. My husband has a desk next to me and just said "I hope you are going to download that. It's great." I kinda like it myself. I am only an Adam fan, having never been a fan of anyone before, but I did like Cook's album. I am going to buy it, and put it in our car for our trips. I may even get one for the kitchen when I am cooking. I like it that much.
My husband and I are retired and have been trying to make a bucket list for our final days. Fortunately or unfortunately, since we went to three Adam concerts, it seems the only events on the bucket list are concerts. When we were younger, we spent all our time and money on our kids and paying for a house. Now that everyone is gone, we can afford to go to all the concerts we want. The first one was last year's Idol tour, then three Adam concerts, Rickey Martin, Earth, Wind & Fire, and Keith Urban. We have three more coming up: the Idol tour, Sugarland, and Enrique Iglesis (sp). I am really loving our excursions. Sometimes we spend the night in a hotel, eat at great restaurants, and just have fun. It is really nice. I am sorry we waited so long to do this. When people tell you not to wait to do something until you are older. listen to them. It is the truth. If something comes up you want to see or do, do it then. Don't wait until you retire.

I love soft, vulnerable Broken Open Adam, and angsty Soaked Adam, and I love fierce Sleepwalker Adam and sexy Fever Adam, and just about any incantation of Adam out there, but it is the silly, campy, OTT Strut Adam who can laugh at himself which reminds me that this journey is about the the joy that is Adam. I seriously hope he never stops sharing that side of himself with us. |

I know what you mean. I loved DC on Idol but this album seems so one-note and not in a good way. I listened to the whole album in the correct order but the problem for me is that it seemed like one long, long song, sung the same way, with the same sound. Maybe the problem is that I just don't care for this kind of rock and hopefully it will find an audience that appreciates it. Please, Adam! I loved the variety on FYE!!! Please don't get too serious!! |
