Can the lawyers jump on this as false advertising? In all seriousness, they are outright pretending that THEIR product is the endorsed one. (i.e. "The single for the Beg for Mercy Album has been announced as the title track of the album.") >:( I seem to recall there is a California law against impersonating a celebrity. Would this sort of thing come under a similar umbrella?? I hope its sue-able.. Maybe we should have some screen caps of the site just in case... This is just HORRIBLE! If I wasn't such a big fan of Adam following him daily, I would surely think that this is THE album we've been waiting for and I think that I'd pre'order it immediately.    |

We will never see his hair down again will we?  reihmer, I'm afraid you are right, I've pretty much given up hope of ever seeing it down again  I like his hair down too... I really want to see him someday with his hair the way it was during wicked. Would he ever dye it dark brown? Im still not letting go of all hope just yet coz Adam is unpredictable lol |

Adam can never plug this bastard album because. He is under contract to RCA and can't plug another company ,even for a friend?,because it takes away from his up coming single and album because he simply has moved on music wise Adam has been quite clear on twitter about this: It's a bastard album, don't buy it. Thinking that Adam refrains from plugging it to "help a friend" simply because his contracts forbids it is a complete turnover to what we know about Adam thinking about this all. Adam has told that he feels sick when fans ask him to sign a "take One" CD, and I see that his mind hasn't changed, no matter how much Monte is or isn't along with the Bastard Album. I'm not seeing the good edge of the sword in this. The possible minor buzz that comes from this won't help him in any way, it'll just confuse non-fan people. As for his catalog to generally getting larger, that's just the entitled fans going "new music! It's more important than the fact that it's screwing Adam over!!" In my opinion, of course. |

You took a couple of my sentences out of context.. I agree with you and was playing devil's advocate.. Of course Adam wouldn't think of plugging the bastard album even for a friend??. As far as the double edged sword remark....good or bad publicity is still publicity.. I did say in the end it doesn't help Adam,it will confuse the buyers and he might sell less of his new album,. I was thinking out loud and shared my thinking .. and so I went back and forth as people often do when they are thinking out loud. Just sayin.... :-/ |

Wow. That website is just...wow. Poor Adam.  IF Monte is in any way responsible for the release of that album, I hope to hell we've seen the last of him in Adam's Glamily. I don't care what his reasoning may have been - it is pure exploitation of Adam. As someone said, if Monte wanted the songs out there, I'm sure Adam would have had zero problem with him rerecording them with another vocalist...but that wouldn't have gotten them an audience. Monte knows it, and Adam knows it. I keep coming back to Neil's tweet. No, we don't know how much he knows about Adam's business. However, this situation goes beyond business, straight to the personal. If Monte enabled the release of that music, it's a personal betrayal, and certainly something Adam would have likely discussed with his brother, particularly since his brother also knows Monte well. This is not the same as Neil mouthing off about Michael Sarver. This situation is a lot more serious than a relative stranger who might have said something unkind to Adam. Neil is not stupid. He had to know how the tweet would be interpreted, and how much impact it would have within the fandom. He had to know it could impact Adam's relationship with Monte. He tweeted it anyway. I'm not dismissing the significance of that fact so easily. I'll be honest - I haven't felt the same about Monte since Lisa's Twitter rampage. I hurt on Adam's behalf when I read those tweets. If the situation is what it seems it might be, I'll feel the same for Adam this time around. |

Maybe the handwriting was on the wall for Monte.. and this with his wife's we have to feed the children...so go for broke you ain't never going to work with Adam again anyway.. Just total speculation on my part ,I know nothing.. Maybe I shouldn't think out loud and then get quoted!Hmm I never learn :-[ To continue...Neil and Adam seem to play good cop,bad cop .. so I don't think Neil would tweet something without Adam's opinion. What a mess. Poor Adam .. I think in the end if Monte betrayed Adam ,it was out of jealousy and hunger for fame and fortune. Unfortunately for Monte most of both of the above come from Adam's fans .. so he will be toast in my opinion. If people buy the album it will because of Adam not Monte .. and that will be Monte's swan call. OK I'm putting on my gag.. last of my guessing for now. |

Links keep disappearing. The LA Times link below no longer works. I tried googling for a new one, but no luck. I did save the article over in the bibliography section of the Idol era, though. Anyway, Adam did not seem to have fond memories of the CV music in Aug 2009. I don't think he's changed his mind. 06. Bronson, Fred. "Adam Lambert: The ultimate interview, Part Three." Los Angeles Times 10 August 2009. latimesblogs.latimes.com/american....part-three.htmlVery detailed interview about every aspect of Adam's life and career. Part three covers the period from 2005 to American Idol Season 8. In Part Three of this four-part interview, the "Idol" runner-up talks about his time performing in the cast of "Wicked" and his decision to audition for "American Idol." So you left “Wicked” to become a rock star? I came back [to Los Angeles] and took some promo shots and started rehearsing. We had a handful of songs. I don’t know if any of them were great, but it was a start. At the time, we believed in them. We did a couple gigs here and there. The band was called the Citizen Vein. We performed at the Knitting Factory one night, the Cat Club on Sunset, and a club in Hermosa Beach. We did three gigs and that was it and we recorded a couple things, like rough recordings, and I don’t know, it didn’t quite click. We kept writing and doing things, but then I got into my first relationship and I fell in love and I was going out a lot.

It looked like Adam and Monte reached a consensus after that episode. I can only imagine how hurt Adam is now if that's the case. :-/ |
