I will admit I have not read the thread (after p. 14).
I left work and found out that there was a massacre at a salon in a very small town near me (I thought it was one where I used to be a regular patron) and for almost an hour I didn't know if the shooting (eight people killed, one in critical condition – worst mass killing in Orange County, CA's history) was the salon where I know almost everyone who works there. Turns out it was another a few miles away. So a relief that I don't know the people, but just as real that I easily could have. I've been thinking about every one of them and wondering, What if it had been them?
I'm sorry, I'm not in the mood to mince words or pussy foot around an issue. I'm sick of being diplomatic about something I consider deplorable so Monte apologists, scroll if you want because here it is:
• I don't believe a line of Monte's bullshit.
• I do NOT feel sorry for him one bit.
• Adam has made it clear how he feels about this.
• The entire launch of this project is the definition of exploitative whoring.
USING ADAM'S NAME AND MAKING THAT PIECE OF SHIT ALBUM COVER PEOPLE? Seriously. For all the analysis we do of Adam, what he likes dislikes – we analyze things down to a strand of hair or piece of jewelry and they put up this 8th grade beginning graphics 1A artwork with
ADAM'S FUCKING NAME ON IT and ADAMLAMBERTALBUM.COM as the URL at the time that Adam is ready to launch the biggest project of his life and PEOPLE ARE FORGIVING THIS???????• Rationalize and spin all you want that Monte is a "Victim," I call bullshit on that too. If he made a buck off of Adam's fucking house being vandalized would we forgive him that? Hey, someone is mugging Adam and Monte didn't really know about it but the guy slipped him a few bucks to not call the cops for an hour or so, would we forgive that too? Worse yet, rationalize it?
• Monte is endorsing a project that is raping his friend's brand – a friend who has practically killed himself trying to establish that brand. He worked his ass off to create a superior product and here opportunists resurface
(FROM A SHADY DEAL MONTE GOT ADAM INTO IN THE FIRST PLACE, I MIGHT ADD) and it continues to haunt him six years later.
• Apologize, rationalize and forgive all you want, but in my opinion, the whole thing is beneath contempt and anyone who endorses it and claims to love Adam mystifies me. Adam could tweet right now about how much he loves Monte and give a thumbs up to the project and I will NOT see it as anything but sleazy, opportunistic bullshit.
Sorry, to get totally raw, but I have fucking had it.
