No worries about Wal Mart. The album shuffling brigade has been alerted and we have decided that the unauthorized albums will be moved to the Country/Christian or yodeling section depending on the country! What do you think?  |

"I believe that more can be learned about ourselves from our own reactions to something Adam does than about Adam. He is what he is. We know only what he reveals to us. But we ourselves—that is open to analysis. If I don't like something Adam does, it has less to do with Adam than it has to do with me—my values, my opinions, my priorities. Adam will do what he will and I have no control over that. But I can look at myself and maybe, just maybe… learn a little. An artist forces us to look within and challenges our assumptions and pushes us out of our comfort zones. An artist makes us think and makes us feel. An artist asks difficult questions. We may not always like the answers, but it is important to seek them all the same." Read more: atop.proboards.com/index.cgi?board=daily&action=display&thread=524#ixzz1ay0MOFgsI absolutely LOVED your post today NoAngel but especially the above part - perhaps that's why so many fans have said how much personal growth they have experienced in the last 2 years of following Adam.  Q3 ,thank you so much for the chart on the bastard albums,  it's very reassuring !  I loved that part too, Maria!! NoAngel, yer amazing!! How you can come up with such brilliance every week is astounding. ILU!! I think the above passage really gets to some of why people who love Adam get so incensed by the arbitrary hate thrown at him. Because it's so obvious "to us" that whatever the person has decided to hate on him about is all about them, not him. But of course, they don't see that. And of course, just because we know that intellectually, it doesn't make it any less rage-inducing when it happens. This is evidenced by the issue happening on Twitter right now. (Some guy tweeted about BFM, calling it Adam's official release and then said essentially: whatever, it's a gay album anyway and only gays will care.) Most people are trying to ignore, but some have responded to the patent ignorance of that statement. It never ends ... |

because it sums it all up: he reconciles me with the universe.Wow,I LOVE this statement and must say that it is probably the best description of the influence of stanning Adam I have ever read/heard and I think it sums up what he has meant to me also. Thank you youarebetterer As Paula once said I never question my visceral response, it just IS! |

That showed up Friday night and was reported to AO I'm not sure if it's a fake page because this is the link that I had bookmarked as Adam's Myspace page and it is the one that if you google that shows up. Unless I'm missing something, BFM isn't on Adam's Official MySpace Page but that above link it shows up. It's weird. www.myspace.com/adamlambert |

OT, but beautiful and relevant. Zachary Quinto's personal blog from today about why he chose to come out publicly. It's poignant and powerful and is indicative of all that we've seen Adam navigate these past years: www.zacharyquinto.com/news/2011/10/post.html 10.16.11. nyc...
when i found out that jamey rodemeyer killed himself - i felt deeply troubled. but when i found out that jamey rodemeyer had made an it gets better video only months before taking his own life - i felt indescribable despair. i also made an it gets better video last year - in the wake of the senseless and tragic gay teen suicides that were sweeping the nation at the time. but in light of jamey's death - it became clear to me in an instant that living a gay life without publicly acknowledging it - is simply not enough to make any significant contribution to the immense work that lies ahead on the road to complete equality. our society needs to recognize the unstoppable momentum toward unequivocal civil equality for every gay lesbian bisexual and transgendered citizen of this country. gay kids need to stop killing themselves because they are made to feel worthless by cruel and relentless bullying. parents need to teach their children principles of respect and acceptance. we are witnessing an enormous shift of collective consciousness throughout the world. we are at the precipice of great transformation within our culture and government. i believe in the power of intention to change the landscape of our society - and it is my intention to live an authentic life of compassion and integrity and action. jamey rodemeyer's life changed mine. and while his death only makes me wish that i had done this sooner - i am eternally grateful to him for being the catalyst for change within me. now i can only hope to serve as the same catalyst for even one other person in this world. that - i believe - is all that we can ask of ourselves and of each other.
