Glad to see Adam getting some attention for the song and hope it does well. But I'm guessing this disco song was chosen and recorded specifically for London Pride and he could not have used one of his better songs to get the exposure.
Exciting about the PR Agency representing Adam in the UK and headlining London Pride. But do we know who represents him in the US and other countries? If I'm remembering correctly Shosh represented him worldwide?

Yes, a legend and and icon. He is a music icon, always in his own lane with phenomenal music. I wish his name was mentioned more when they speak about LGBTG+ icons. Please don't take this wrong, but I don't understand how Freddie Mercury is always mentioned (and I am definitely a Queen fan, so no shade), Lady GaGa, which I don't understand at all (but, yes, I am a fan, so again no shade) and others but Adam is not. They are mentioned so much more than Adam. Freddie was not out. I know, he couldn't be, he would be arrested. I get it. But Adam was out from the beginning and put everything on the line. He really puts his money where is mouth is, as they say. As I read someone else tweet, he not only kicked down the door for all of thos queer artists now, he broke the door-frame. So, imo, Adam is an icon and more so than Freddie Mercury, Lady GaGa, etc. and should be names more often. Please don't throw stones. |

Love that short sassy haircut. Love that Scottish accent. Love that he will be SO busy in June doing so many interesting things. And then of course, we have Fairyland, MOTB, and on and on. I have to say that You Make Me Feel....has become an earworm or me. Which is guess is its whole purpose. love the hair myself. I think it is the same "do" just a little more relaxed and combed down instead of up. I love it this way. |

From Metro article:
"This last season, Lambert returned to Idol to mentor the top twelve on a Rock and Roll Hall of Fame-themed night. Just to think how far he has come from his first moments on the show is mind-boggling. It launched my recording career and put me on a massive public stage. I owe a lot to the show and getting to go back and give back is a real full-circle experience. I love being able to help people reach their full potential.
As a mentor, what is the main thing he would want to impart to a singer new to the industry?
Your team is essential. The people you surround yourself with who are helping you reach your goals are something that you cannot take for granted. It can make or break your career. You have to be sure that you have the right collaborators on board with you."
Some important advice from Adam in this Metro article. After he left Idol, I remember Kris Allen fans in a meltdown because Adam was getting more opportunities. They believed that because Kris won, these opportunities belonged to him and not Adam. What they did not seem to get was that Kris had a team responsible for his career and Adam had a different team. Adam's team was paid to advance Adam's career. If they secured some great gigs for Adam or someone just wanted him, they were not going to turn them down and say you should book Kris instead cause he won. HA. That is not how it works. If you don't think your team is doing enough to promote you, fire them and get another team. Or sit back and do nothing and keep thinking you won so many doors will automatically open for you without much effort. And we know Adam was working his behind off while ducking and dodging and going over and under the many obstacles put in front of him because of his sexuality (something Kris Allen, Kelly Clarkson and Carrie Underwood did not have to deal with). So his work ethic, determination and his talent is why he is where he is today.
