Has anyone added the proboards app to their smartphone? It's only a few bucks but I've never paid for an app. Does anyone even view atop from a smartphone? I'm envisioning winding up with 40 pages of smileys instead of 20. I have it on my iphone. It's not perfect (it does line the smileys up vertically rather than horizontally) and I haven't figured out how to do more than respond to it, but I like it. There is a tab labeled "Recent" where I can just check to see what I've missed, or one labled "Forum" where I can go straight to the trhead I'm interested in. Can get and send PM's, respond to posts. I use it enough for it to have been a good investment. there's my answer! the smileys take up so much room to begin with that i'd go nuts to have them vertically. sometimes i feel that i am in disney while i am scrolling through the pages to find the news or links. |

Only one reader comment so far about Adam. Guy obviously doesn't do much research.
TV Highpoints and Lowpoints of 2010-2011... Number 10
PopMatters - Robert Moore -
Hudson has talent, but she is too heavily dependent on material penned by others. The same weakness is going to hamper Adam Lambert’s career.
sorry - tech fail here - can't get link to work :-[

I have the ProBoards app, but I prefer to just go to the regular Adamtopia page via Safari. It looks/works just like it does on the computer, but smaller. I have the main directory saved to my home screen and I just click on it and am always taken to the table of contents. It works great. |

But even with his talent, I’m doubtful that he will have a substantial career. Why? Because in today’s music scene careers are for the most part driven not by vocal talent but by the ability to produce one’s own material. This guy needs to wait for Album #2. He obviously doesn't know all of Adam's contributions. |

It works great. thx. i haven't figured out how to have a page stick to my homescreen without an app. I have bookmarks but by the time i get to them it's no longer a quick look. maybe i'll take a walk over to verizon to the tech guy. i suppose i could call but i'd rather see it done in front of me. |

OT, but I guess since Katy Perry and Adam are friends I can kind of tie in this blog from Russell Brand about Amy Winehouse. It's good! t.co/EKnQ2kbThank you. He really paid a tribute to her. Great. |

He obviously doesn't know all of Adam's contributions. Erm, A LOT of music stars have songs written for them and it doesn't stop them from being very, very successful. A hit song is a hit song. Does anyone think that Britney Spears is sitting with her journal, penning insightful lyrics that can turn into songs? Well, okay maybe she IS penning lyrics but if she is they are more along the lines of BABY BABY OH YEAH BABY BABY OH OH OH. And remember that NPR article about what is takes to produce a hit song? It bascially said how a CAMP OF SONG WRITERS got together and basically wrote all of Rihanna's songs off her last album. That's not to say that she didn't have a hand in some of the tracks, but it's not uncommom for pop stars to have their shit written for them by proven hit makers. All the big acts have stuff given to them--Beyonce, Katy, etc etc ad nauseum. Of course it goes without saying that I hope that Adam has a huge hand in the songs this go around (and it looks like he does) and we get more of his *vision* or whatever, but to act like having your material given to you from outside sources will somehow be detrimental to your career is bullshit. The only thing detrimental about it is if you are given BAD material. And no song writing royalties is detrimental to the pocketbook. |

Thank you. This was very powerful. One gets to learn a bit more about the "person" behind the persona of Russell Brandt. Lot more to that boy than I thought. Appreciate the read...thanks. Yes. I was impressed and although I already liked him from interviews I had seen, this brought a whole new "depth" to his persona. |

As I read this popmatters guy's whole opinion, I think he is trying to make Adam fit into his premise that reality tv is no good. He obviously thinks he's talented but to say Adam will continue to be successful will undermine the point he is trying to make. Cheap Journalism.

You expressed my sentiments exactly. He really described some unvarnished, realistic truths and I like that he didn't stick just to celebrities--used a broader brush. |
