Can someone copy and paste a pic of the site? I wanna know what they're saying, but I don't want to give them any extra hits! >:(  Adam Lambert (born January 29, 1982) is an American singer, songwriter, and actor from San Diego, California. In May 2009, he finished as the runner-up on the eighth season of American Idol. He is the first openly gay mainstream pop artist to launch a career on a major label in America. Before becoming a front-runner in the eighth season of American Idol, vocalist Adam Lambert made his name in the theater world, where he performed alongside Val Kilmer in the debut production of Ten Commandments: The Musical and landed an understudy role in a touring production of Wicked. The California native subsequently parlayed that theater background into a successful multi-month run on American Idol in 2009. Lambert’s flair for neo-goth attire and eclectic arrangements made him a critical favorite, as did his dramatic tenor vocals. Following performances of Led Zeppelin’s “Whole Lotta Love,” Tears for Fears’ “Mad World,” and Johnny Cash’s “Ring of Fire,” Lambert found himself pitted against contender Kris Allen in the grand finale, which he ultimately lost by a slim margin. Lambert was unanimously praised by the American Idol judges, however, who all but guaranteed him a successful recording career following the show’s conclusion. Although Lambert didn’t win the Idol competition, he received far more attention than his castmates during the subsequent months, appearing on the cover of Rolling Stone in June (“I don’t think it should be a surprise for anyone to hear that I’m gay,” he stated in the accompanying article, thus putting an end to the public’s speculation) and eliciting standing ovations during the summer-long American Idol tour. Vocals: Adam Lambert Guitars: Monte Pittman Bass & Keys: Marcus Brown Drums: Steve Sidelnyk Produced by Malcolm Welsford & Michael Burtscher Assisted by John Armstrong Recorded & Mixed at Paramount Studios Mastered by Bernie Grundman Mastering, Hollywood CA |

A song written by another artist is different than recording a cover. Dreamer would be a cover because it has already been recorded and released. As opposed to say, Soaked, which was written by Muse never recorded or released by them. I'm sure you already know that but I think the people who are objecting are objecting on the grounds that it has already been recorded and is on Uh Huh Her's album. Me? I love the song and am dying to hear Adam sing it! Interesting. So, it has to be "new." No one else can have recorded it. That means no one should release a new version of any of the extraordinary music written 10, 20, 50, 200 years ago. No new versions of "Yesterday," or "Feeling Good" or "Hallelujah" or "Beethoven's 9th" or "Nessun Dorma" or ..... Instead we get "Whip my Hair" and "Born this Way" and "Lazy Song." Sigh. I do not mean to disrespect anyone here on the board. We all have our opinions and choices about music. I, personally, have no talent or interest in writing songs. But, I sure enjoy interpreting the great songs from the last century. To each their own. Not sure what you are saying here, but my point was that a "cover" is a song that has been recorded and released. I was just trying to explain the difference between the two things. Some people think WWFM was a cover and it wasn't. It was never released by P!NK and was only done by her as a demo. But your original post made it sound like you thought peple objected to songs written by other people and that wasn't their objection at all. I personally wouldn't care if down the road, Adam did a whole album of covers! |

But, I sure enjoy interpreting the great songs from the last century. To each their own. ITA, Cassie and ITA with how Tigerlily defined it. There are some amazing songs out there and for Adam to not even give artists who he respects credence enough to hear their potentially good material would come across as extremely egotistical, IMO. He can go in saying, "It's my plan to write most of it myself, but I'm open to hearing what you've got." He obviously has tremendous respect for Cam and I imagine he would be very open about seeing where the song went, organically. Remember, we will have a deluxe edition, possible EPs, etc. Lots of places for these songs to creep in other than the primary album – not to mention in concert, even if they aren't released. Adele has a cover of "Lovesong," by The Cure. It was a major song back in the day and has been covered quite a bit in various styles – the mark of an excellent song. |

Lol, well I'm glad to have made you able to get that off your chest. Well the thing is, for me, Adam has added to the joy and happiness in my life, BUT that was when there was a lot of things actively going on in the Adam fandom, not just behind the scenes. I was happy when I knew that things were going well, and sad when it wasn't, now I'm just down a little cause i don't know anything, heh. Well, I hope you're mood is better for the last 10 minutes :D - we got some info about a photoshoot yesterday! And all because Adam thought he can't tell his fans not to buy these bogus albums, without giving us something, anything. Yeah, I'm feeling much better!! Seems like things are moving along nicely! WE might just get this single out soon (ish)!! |

Does anyone remember how far in advance of the single his FYE album photoshoot was? He was doing the Idols tour. I don't think we can go by that timeline at all. For Kelly, her photo shoot was a few weeks before the single premiered! Not long at all, less than a month. |

And all because Adam thought he can't tell his fans not to buy these bogus albums, without giving us something, anything. I have to smile. Most celebrities are afraid of things from their past being brought to light. But, it is usually nude photos, sex videos, unflattering high school pictures or criminal records. Not Adam. He is upset that these early recordings are appearing. This is not a criticism of Adam. It is a measure of his seriousness as an artist. To him, his work is a reflection of his self, and HE wants to be in control of what work is released. Pics of him at his most awkward in junior high school? No big deal. Of him in drag or kissing an ex boyfriend? Private, but, it is what it is. Of him singing as a child, or young adult in performance? Fair game. But, of his work as a singer when he was not in control of the recording session, when the work was not completed to his satisfaction, when he was puppeted to sing like someone else? When it doesn't reflect who he has become as an artist? THAT is distasteful and pisses him off. I support him in that. |
