You make a really good point. There is no one that sounds like Adam. I guess if you like the soft rock sound, there are a lot of choices so no reason to run out and buy Cook. But if you like Adam's voice, he sounds like no one else. I guess I just to have confidence in Adam as he makes his second album. As was said earlier, he does seem to have an angel on his shoulder. Wouldn't John Mayer and Michael Buble be in the same category as Adam? I suppose some would say they're in the same category. But no one with any musical knowledge could claim they're in the same league. It's still fair to say that Adam sounds like no one else! |

Wouldn't John Mayer and Michael Buble be in the same category as Adam? Buble is sort of a throwback to the crooner era--not at all pop or rock. This is about as "current" as Buble gets. Very popular (over 40 million views), but different from where Adam wants to go. Isn't Mayer WGWG? |

Blige, Enrique Iglesias, and Miranda Lambert. What you’re about to read is a press release that’s just hitting the wires … NOW! .... Behind The Music: Adam Lambert Premieres Wednesday, August 10 at 10 PM ET/PTGlam-rock powerhouse, Adam Lambert has taken pop music by storm with his handsome looks, electrifying stage theatrics and jaw-dropping vocal acrobatics. In this episode of Behind the Music, Adam Lambert opens up to VH1 about the challenges he faced during his childhood including realizing he was gay in 6th grade. After finally coping with his identity, Adam freed himself at the age of 18, coming out to his family and moving to Hollywood, CA to pursue his dream of being an entertainer. Struggling to make ends meet, Lambert received his first big break when he landed a part in the European tour of Hair at age 19. The excitement of his first role brought out Adam’s wild side as he began to experiment with sex, drugs and rock n’roll. For the next eight years Adam was continually cast in various stage productions including Wicked. At age 27 and without a record deal, Adam had a realization during a psychedelic experience at the Burning Man festival that if he wanted fame he would have to take control and make it happen. In turn, Adam decided to audition for the iconic TV show, American Idol. Making the top 13, Adam was poised to go far in the competition until scandalous photos of him dressed in drag and kissing another man leaked on the Internet. Adam remained tight-lipped about the photos to the press, determined to keep the focus on his talent.

Placing second, Adam quickly landed a record deal with RCA and 19 Recordings, taking the opportunity to come out about his sexuality in an interview with Rolling Stone magazine. However, Adam wasn’t done shocking the world, and during his debut television performance at the “American Music Awards” he stunned audiences by kissing his male bassist onstage. Following a huge backlash from viewers, Adam released his debut album For Your Entertainment, which skyrocketed to #3 on the Billboard chart in its first week. Viewers of this episode of Behind the Music will see never-before-seen home video footage, interviews with family, friends, industry experts and musical luminaries including Barry Weiss and American Idol Season 8 winner Kris Allen. With constant criticism about being too bold, too offensive and too gay, Adam Lambert comes clean to VH1 about who he really is and the obstacles he has overcome to get where he is today.

Due to Canadian content laws we hear the same boring Canadian artists over and over and over again on radio. Especially Michael Buble, because he somehow has managed to gain fame outside of Canada. He is a crooner for sure, and there is a market for that, and he will sustain, at least in Canada. But he is a total snooze fest and does not belong in the same category as AFL. He relys on the big band behind him to enhance the performance, the opposite of our BB, who is always the star of the show.

www.mtv.com/news/articles/1666503/kara-dioguardi-hits.jhtmlJun 27 2011 6:42 PM EDT 1 Kara DioGuardi Opens Up About Lindsay Lohan, 'No Boundaries' We ask 'Platinum Hit' judge about the less-than-stellar credits in her catalog. By Jim Cantiello .... "No Boundaries" Sample Lyric: "You can go higher, you can go deeper/ There are no boundaries above or beneath ya." Backstory: Kara's two-season run on "American Idol" as "the fourth judge" wasn't as well-received as she'd hoped, but nothing stung more than the flak she got for co-writing the season-eight winner's song. In her recent book "A Helluva High Note," Kara compared Kris Allen and Adam Lambert's finale performances to a plane crash. Kara's Take: "The song that almost ruined my career! Let me tell you what really happened: I wrote that song for a girl, and when it went into the male register, it was a nightmare. Certain songs don't translate," DioGuardi admitted, adding that her finale half-naked sing-off with "Idol" reject Bikini Girl helped redeem her status with TV critics. "When your songwriting is really bad, just put a bikini on," Kara joked. ....
