If we are going to pick just one organization, then I think we should pick the shelter that Pharaoh came from and donate directly to that shelter. Otherwise, we could all pick a deserving shelter in our area to donate to. We could keep a list of shelters donated to and if possible send that to Adam with a Birthday Card. Besides the pets displaced by the wild fires in California, there are also many pets displaced by the hurricanes in Texas, Louisiana, Florida, Puerto Rico, etc. Sounds like a great idea. Adam sent out that post with a beautiful picture of Pharaoh saying he fell in love a year ago. My guess is he would appreciate those donating to Pharaoh' s shelter or one in their area in his name.

Yup for sure...

IMHO, his explanation makes perfect sense. Don't know why it would not. He is a middle age man. There were no such freedom for gay men to express themselves in mainstream music when he was young. Thank you. Sometimes I wish people could let it go. The guy admitted that he forgot about Adam in the moment. If he did not think of Adam, he can also not rephrase a statement in a way that it includes Adam to begin with. He just for a moment presumed that Troye was the first. He got told, and he reacted iwth recognition for Adam. What more can anyone want, in hindsight. Yes, I wish more people would remember to think of Adam right away, but it is what it is. Adam spoke to us at the time, but others were at that time not receptive or not paying attention, or somehow did not get what Adam was doing. It happens. There are probably many artist that do valuable work, but I don't get it, or it does not speak to me. It is that way for everybody. No need to put down Troy -, presumably because that somehow lifts Adam up, just makes my eyes roll, tbh Troy is cute, has a wonderful sense of humor, and makes some darn good videos, and has a really interesting online presence. Yes, I am also not looking at him in a sexual way, just like you don't, because he is about a third my age or something and younger in his thinking, so less for me. But I don't blame my daughter for being fond of him. There are many artists for many different people. It is all good. I am sorry but I disagree. This is not just a one off thing. Adam fans prob responded to this more then usual. Because its the BS Adam has had to deal with since is AMA Performance in 2009. Being Black listed, in many forms. It is not the first time Adam has been dismissed for his influence on LGBT artists since 2009. And unfortunately it won't be the last. Adams performance in 2009 AMAS stopped the potential for him getting commerical success But it opened the door for other LGBT artists to do so.

Jan - studio time Feb, March - QAL April, May, June - a new single maybe? end of June - israel/UK QAL rumors July, August - South America QAL rumors September - new album?
thoughts?

They do mention Adam, but in a sense that he chose to get back into the closet. As if he had a choice in the matter. twitter.com/billboard/status/951921803848552448billboard @billboard .@troyesivan & @hayleykiyoko are boldly normalizing same-sex erotic attraction blbrd.cm/U9u5Ot Adam parts: And yet with all that progress, there haven't been that many music videos from A- (or even B-) list queer artists that unabashedly celebrate queer sexuality. The exceptions prove the rule: Adam Lambert kissed a man onstage at the 2009 AMAs for one second and the pearl-clutching backlash (even from some progressives) ensured that we wouldn't be seeing libidinous imagery in his videos for some time. Sam Smith, while open about his orientation in interviews, steers clear of carnality in his videos. And that's fine -- not every queer artist is required to represent every single aspect of the LGBTQ experience (and for what it's worth, lusty videos would hardly gel with Smith's melancholy soul sound). ...... In one sense, there's nothing new about this. Female pop stars have been employing queer backup dancers for decades, and even when those stars are straight, it's still an invitation for the viewer to enjoy and celebrate queer libido. And yes, Lambert has certainly danced with men onscreen before. But we've never seen a mainstream queer pop star acting so comfortably erotic in tandem with same-sex people in a video before.

The South America tour is rumored for May. May 9th is mentioned and May 21. And you forget JCS April 1st. So I think it's more like this: Jan - studio time 1st half Feb - JCS practise 2nd half Feb - 1st half March - QAL down under 2nd half March - JCS practice (April 1st performanc) April - New single? May - QAL South America June - QAL UK / Europe / Israel July, August - new album

If all this QAL stuff is true, I doubt we would get a single in the middle of it (ie April); particularly if both JCS and the QAL dates in So America/Israel/UK all materialize, I bet single would get put off until fall......

He needs to use that JCS publicity. Putting a single out right after that would give him a chance to get a big one. If they wait until fall all the publicity of that is gone and he's forgotten again.

I really wish post March of course heh. He doesent do any Queen shows. I Really wish he would dedicate the rest of the year to hi solo career. I am worried he has been out of the public conciousness too long. And he well forever be known as Queen frontman. Not that is bad. But I signed up for his solo career. And I Feel he is prioritizing Queen over it.
If he is in JCS on April 1st. That would be a good time to release a single. Using all that publicity. He may even be on Fallon or something.
