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? ...who his manager is (assuming he has one, and I can't believe he would not) remains a mystery Thanks. I forgot he had signed with them but good to know they on it and are posting about him. |

That was my first thought...that's a long ass list... That is true...but it also means they have BIG clout!! Agreed...there are huge names on that list. |

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. Good points! I remember when Barbara Walters interviewed both Adam and Gaga on one special. Of course Adam was very open about his sexuality. She pushed Gaga about her ever being in a same sex relationship and got nothing other than some vague thing about attraction, lol. And when they did the Show Must Go On Documentary they talked about Adam being the first gay artist to top the Billboard album chart and Lyndsey Parker claimed that Freddie opened the door for Adam to do that. No, Adam accomplished that on his own in the US so give him his credit. Adam was not fronting Queen when he got that #1 and Freddie was never out. So Freddie was no more responsible for his #1 US/Canada album than Elton or George Michael or any other non-American gay artists. |

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. Lol, that happened with Clay and Ruben in their season. After the show, every talk show wanted Clay because he was so funny and personable and Ruben had the personality of a brick. RCA apparently wrote it into the contract that the shows had to have Ruben on at the same time just to give him airtime. This was immediately after their season ended, the way I understand it. Even at this point, I suppose Kris's team could try and get him more gigs and maybe try to promote him overseas (although maybe he does have shows there and I'm just not aware), but I just don't see him have the kind of talent and drive as Adam has. Plus he has a family, so he might not want to be on the go all the time like Adam. |

Relieved to know that Adam is in good hands PR-wise and management-wise. Hope they continue to give him their best efforts. Nice to see that You Make Me Feel... if moving up on iTunes. The US is usually late to the party on these things, but I hope the US listeners wake up ASAP and give the song a big boost here at home.
Great to see him do all those interviews. And performing on GMA on June 23.
