Artist Supporter (ALA Dr. Sherrie Richey) made the same mistake a few other people have made -- they confused their fan or working relationship with Adam as friendship. Adam has made it clear he values his fan, he appreciates the people who work with him, but that appreciate is not friendship. There have been several people who pushed things too far and then Adam drew the line. Thankfully, the vast majority of Adam's fans and associates understand the relationship. Finally, and I am not justifying what happened on Twitter to Sherrie, but she brought most of it on herself when she complained about Adam on Twitter -- and would not drop it. JMHO YMMV. Q3, I agree. Not only did she complain about Adam on Twitter, she stirred some fires that should have been left alone. She also accused Adam's fanbase of things that she had no proof of. When other fans asked for the proof, she couldn't produce it. :  SR may throw money at Adam and any artist that has ever come in contact with Adam, but that doesn't elevate her to some higher level in my book. I don't care how much money she has, at the end of the day she is still like the rest of us, just a fan.  |

Wow.. did not know what she was complaining about Adam on Twitter... when did this happened? did anybody have it somewhere? how very professional our doctor is. Anyway.. talking about some people in the working relationship with Adam that pushed things to far... well Adam definitely draw the line and he's not in working with him anymore is he? |

I have a question since we were discussing Megaupload. I need a place to safely store about 150 Gigs of files - mainly all my PowerPoint lectures because if they ever got destroyed or lost, it would be decades of my life down the tubes. I was 1 day away from signing up with Megaupload because they had the best rates for storage and wondered if there's a place with similar good prices. I can't afford fees like $40 a month which seems to be a standard rate. What happened to all the folks who had purchased lifetime storage with Megaupload? I'd be furious if I had a paid membership and no access to my files. There are other sites, like MediaFire, etc., but to be on the safe side, I'd back them up on thumb drives and put in a safe deposit box. Here's a 128 GB flash drive for $149, which would be almost what you need. www.amazon.com/dp/B004TPPWUA/ref=asc_df_B004TPPWUA1869617?smid=ATVPDKIKX0DER&tag=hyprod-20&linkCode=asn&creative=395093&creativeASIN=B004TPPWUAYou can get lower-capacity ones for much less if you can break your files up. It might be the cheaper, safer way to go in case servers crash or there is some kind of takeover or shut down like we saw this week. That is still more than you have to pay....I just bought a 500 G for $99....that is here in Canada, Mellisende.  |

Yeah, I wonder why Adam keeps saying if it wasn't for his fans he may not have been making this 2nd album. That doesn't compute for me. He's said it at least 3 times now... I think he is just giving us love and keeping the media questions about his fans in-line. With an album over 1.2 million worldwide, and over 4 million in single DLs worldwide, there is no way RCA would have not allowed this album. Maybe we helped to get him the Ex Producer title, but they would have let him have album #2 for sure. But Kris' sales are even smaller than what Adam had on album or single and RCA/Sony still let him make his 2nd album. But I agree with you that he just wants to show his appreciation to his fans. |

How do you make a gif into an avatar? I tried to make my avi a gif & it had no animation.  Not sure why. So I "settled" for this one. Hope no one else has it. ETA - Haha Marie - I just saw your avi - and it MOVES!!! Mine is from the same performance of course but sadly not a gif. Congrats! If you'll post the large gif you want, I'll try to reduce it to avi size. |
