ETA: I am hearing album push was to get all of the big markets in EU on board -- all except France. May be a bogus rumor because there are many rumors but it fits what we know and the bits Adam has mentioned about "logistics". One thing I have wondered about is if a second single will get released overseas in markets where BTIKM has peaked or not taken, while it's still slowly climbing in the US. I'm not sure why the rest of the world would need to cool their heels waiting on the US HAC chart, but I know nothing admittedly. |

During Season 8 Kris Allen had huge support within the Gay Community because looks wise he is basically Gay Catnip. Some of the most horrendous nasty comment I read about Adam's appearance were on Gay websites. They didn't want a "flamboyant queen" representing them. They were pissed that he didn't scream "I'm Gay" to the press during Idol. Pissed that he didn't want to be a role model even though they didn't seem to WANT him as a role model. I think he actually needed to keep his distance from Gay Media in the FYE era so that mainstream media could work their was past the gay thing which the honestly have for the most part. Most of the openly gay comments are now only in Gay media which is as it should be because they should be because he needs to show visibility in his own community. This time around though he really does need to mend fences with Gay media and get them on board. If anything Gay Media exalts straight artist who support the Gay Community so it's only fitting that they should support an actual Gay Artist who supports the Community as well. Oops, forgot Gaga is supposed to be Bi. I agree with you about Kris being "gay catnip" : and that's why I wanted to hear some thoughts from a gay male perspective. Is Adam just too aggressive for the gay males to embrace? Too strong a personality (translate that to "too toppy")? He has said several times that guys don't hit on him. Why is that? Any guys on line who would care to comment? |

You'll see everything being tweeted to him....you can save this search and easily pull it up when you want to see it again. thanks sweetie I will tried this. Hi, BB!! Hopefully this will help. I'll try to walk you through it ... Here is Adam's feed. These are his tweets: twitter.com/#!/adamlambert This is a "search" list – all the tweets that come in mentioning @adamlambert, meaning these are people who are talking about him, but want him to know they are talking about him. Or they are talking TO him: twitter.com/#!/search/%40adamlambert Here are tweets that mention him by name, but not his twitter name (so are likely talking ABOUT him, but not talking TO him – people confuse that a lot): twitter.com/#!/search/Adam%20Lambert Hope that helps!!  ETA: Grrr, hold on, the second link doesn't work for some reason ... but it appears the third link shows both @replies and name mentions. |

Just a comment on the Listening Party Major station PDs do not go to listening parties -- and the important NY PDs have already heard the album tracks. Major print media do not go to listening parties -- they get interviews. Listening parties like this are rare so we can only guess what they are up to. Artists sometimes have private listening parties before an album drops -- and often include some fans -- so I have one thought. My guess -- this entire promo tour and tonight's listening party was scheduled by RCA to support the album release on 3/20/12. And the plan was in place before they pushed the release date to Maypril. That said -- one surprising thing [well maybe not that surprising, but so good] is how Adam has made this whole thing into a big win. Katy did listening parties although I don't know the details. There was an article about it somewhere. But I know for a fact that U2 did listening parties all over the world for their last album and major print media, television and radio people DID attend and basically they couldn't agree on a single because there were about six tracks that were cited as single worthy but no one track had significantly more support. Pretty much everybody ranked the songs differently. Album debuted at number #1 in 39 countries even with a flop lead single but of course that's U2. But the point is some artist do listening parties and mainstream press and radio peeps do attend. There were Katy Perry listening parties -- a few days prior to release for fans -- here is video www.youtube.com/watch?v=58-_oSG84d0Gaga did a listening party (and attended) in France in 2011 -- also for her monsters. --- I am not sure I get the U2 connection but "No Line on the Horizon" did not debut at #1 in 30 countries because they did listening parties. It was their first album in 5 years, they promoted it prerelease on every possible TV venue from the Grammys and the Brit Awards to late night TV. And in U2 terms the sales for the album were disappointing (although I would be thrilled if Adam it 50% of their 5+ million worldwide units). --- Adam has already previewed the album for Z100. WPLJ and other major NY stations/PDs. There was a Clear Channel hub meeting in NY for the region in December and they previewed the music. Why would they come to a listening party to hear the music they have already heard? Major print media in NY who want an interview with Adam, can get an interview with Adam -- he is accessible. He is not an artist who is rarely in public. I do not know the purpose of Adam's listening party, I do not know who was there, so I do not know why anyone can be disappointed. ==== All that said -- I do not recall a major label artist doing a preview party for an album that does not have a release date before. And I cannot remember anyone previewing an album like this so far in advance of the probably release date. ==== There are a few Sirus/XM execs at this event -- is it possible that this is some kind of a Sirus/XM promo event? -- they have been huge supporters of BTIKM and they are HW in New York. It could be RCA had a promo contract with Sirus/XM and had to fulfill it. Just a thought. ETA: Sirus/XM has been playing BTIKM 65 times a week for weeks. That is 65 of the around 300 Top 40 monitored spins BTIKM is getting. Looks like a promo deal to me. |

Heathcliff, I find it very interesting that Adam doesn't have gay men as fans. I used to live in LA & we were always following Idol & everyone knew who Adam was. Of course all the females loved him. When FYE came out, I asked several of my gay male friends what they thought about Adam's new record, and every one of them gave me the "eye roll". EXACTLY like what Adam has talked about. They admitted that Adam was "ok" but didn't seem to support his music AT ALL. I know they were all huge fans of the female divas (Christina & Gaga & Katy) but they sure didn't show any interest in Adam. I would have expected some kind of support, especially since he was an LA "home boy". I wondered if Adam just wasn't their "type" or if they were just being jealous bitches. I would love to hear your thoughts about this. During Season 8 Kris Allen had huge support within the Gay Community because looks wise he is basically Gay Catnip. Some of the most horrendous nasty comment I read about Adam's appearance were on Gay websites. They didn't want a "flamboyant queen" representing them. They were pissed that he didn't scream "I'm Gay" to the press during Idol. Pissed that he didn't want to be a role model even though they didn't seem to WANT him as a role model.

If anything Gay Media exalts straight artist who support the Gay Community so it's only fitting that they should support an actual Gay Artist who supports the Community as well. Oops, forgot Gaga is supposed to be Bi. The gay community includes lesbians, also. Have we forgot about them? They seem to fully support Adam. Also, the gay media and publications have been very supportive of Adam in the past year or so. Who cares what a few jerks say on anonymous sites? |
