Well it is late here, 1 am, but i'm not feeling tired at all, it is a slow day and i really want to share something with you. I think it all started with me asking myself if my parents would be a fan of Adam if he would do their favorite kind of music. Well, i was born in Germany but my roots are in Turkey, my parents immigrated to Germany in the 70s and they love classical turkish music and don't like pop music that much. I am sure they will love his voice. But i wasn't sure about Adams androgynous look. Till a few weeks ago. It was the 15th anniversary of the death of Zeki Müren, a very famous turkish singer and as far as know/remember he had a great voice (if it would not have been that late here, i would have searched Youtube for videos of him). They showed pictures of him in turkish television and my parents talked a little bit about him and that they have not missed a concert and when they were in Bodrum (where he lived and it is a beautiful bathing resort btw) they used to go to his house and hoped they could meet him. In a time without internet it was stanning  . Well, i knew very little about him since I'm not a fan of the music and I was a little bit to young (I'm in my twenties now). I was not aware that he had a very effiminate look.  This album album cover reminds me a little bit of the FYE cover ;D. A little quote from his Wiki page Müren dressed effeminately, wearing large, ornate rings and heavy make up, especially in the later years of his life. In many ways, he had a pioneering role in rendering the Turkish society more accepting about homosexuality. He, with his distinct style, remained a highly respected artist throughout his career, and in a sense, paved the way for many later, more openly gay or transsexual Turkish artists. This makes me think of Adam even more and on the German wiki page they say that when young homosexuals have difficulties with there coming out to their parents they say "I'm like Zeki Müren". Well, after seeing/reading this, I have no doubt, that if Adam would start making classical Turkish music, they would love him. But well, I'm very happy this will not happen, cause then I would have to listen to that kind of music and had to listen to it in my childhood way too often. I'm really not a fan of classical turkish music. I'm going to bed now, it's really late here and I'm starting to feel tired now WoW! in Turkey! amazing! thank you for the story! |

I'm really not a fan of classical turkish music. [grin] You know, aralid, that since Adam really like Middle Eastern sounds (ex. Ring of Fire) you COULD be stuck some day listening to Adam singing some Turkish-like music!!! Just say'n!   |

The tweet is very misleading. If you click on the link, they are actually VERY clear about it being the bastard album and have Adam's tweets about it verbatim. They are lobbying against BFM and have already tweeted that the response was 100 percent against. I think Frankie at Flecking believes he is promoting the fact that Adam does not want fans to buy this record. He is tweeting fans back explaining his intentions. FleckingRecords Flecking Records @ @pickupwatch I tried to make clear fans don't like it. Can't wait for his new album! 4 minutes ago @lissaluvsmusic I'd you had actually read it you'd see that it's NOT an endorsement, but a reiteration of Adam's OWN words! 2 minutes ago @camillecarelli We all know the poll will be in Adam's favour and that's a good point to reiterate! 10 minutes ago CamilleCarelli Camille Carelli @fleckingrecords I think fans are afraid that ANY info re scumbug ripping off @adamlambert is giving BFM free publicity, which hurts Adam. 14 minutes ago |

Edited because I have decided I, personally, don't want to talk about Monte anymore.  Hey guys if anyone quoted my post from back a few pages, could I ask you to delete my part? I have decided that personally, I am going to put myself in a happy place (single in a month!! Woo-Hoo!) and am not going to post about Monte and BFM. I am going to do the only thing I can do 1) Buy and support Adam's authorized projects and ignore the rest! Thanks in advance! |

. Well, i knew very little about him since I'm not a fan of the music and I was a little bit to young (I'm in my twenties now). I was not aware that he had a very effiminate look. 
Let's celebrate the music together!
