Curious about the bold part in above post, how did Adam make $5mil last year when he didn't do anything? did I miss something? Sorry, if this question sounds kinda...silly. It's not a silly question! I meant 2010! lol Thought maybe I'd missed some big one-off performances last year...lol With 2 little ones, it's hard to give Adam my 100%, undivided attention. So, anyway, did he perform and make money last year at all? |

Really lovely posts, Cassie and Adamrocks! (Patience is one of the hardest virtues.) A good note for me to go to sleep on, too!

Adam Lambert @adamlambert Big thanks to @brunomars and @thedoctorluke! Songs a JAM:) Always the gentleman, but Oh Adam, grammar baby, grammar. It's not about grammar. It's the way young people talk in real life.
"Songs is a JAM" has nothing to do with grammar. IMO he deliberately wrote it this way. If he wanted to write "This song is a jam" or "The song is a jam" he would have. He left "this" and the apostrophe out, on purpose. IMO. |

Love your deep thoughts NoAngel, however, when Adam did the LA interviews end of January, he was doubtful NCOE would even be on the album. I think it was the fact that CHR radio did not play BTIKM much that made RCA try to come up with a sure thing (if there is such a thing as a sure thing.) :-/ This is what I believe too. |

Good to hear  I want him to be able to finally buy his dream house when the next tour is over, so he and Sauli can live happily ever after in their own "castle"! |

It is my opinion --- okay, my guess--- that Trespassing is going to be an awesome album. Almost everyone who has heard tracks from it has raved about them. And raved about his incredible voice. Could it be that the response from radio personnel was, "This is great music. You are a great singer. I would buy this album in a heartbeat and crank it up loud in the car, in the gym, in the club. BUT, it is just not the kind of music that is being played on top 40 radio these days. Not what our demographic is asking for (tho' your fans avalanche our phones and emails with requests for anything you put out). Your album is a classic; but, we don't play classics on our station,"? So, Adam and RCA went back to the studio to make a couple of songs that would better fit what they think the radio peeps want. Throw two or three of those on the album and it will sell like hotcakes. We've seen this phenomenon in the arts many times. Movies that are incredible artistic works with masterful acting and directing, and with significant themes, but "Dumb and Dumber" or "Transformers" or "X Men" easily top them at the box office. The profound movies get critical acclaim, but make little impact at the ticket booth. Or as another example, there is artwork that is visionary, edgy, massively creative, and poignant, but what do people hang on their walls? Thomas Kincade (RIP), which is pretty and makes people feel good but is not masterful by any artistic measure (with my apologies to Kincade fans). Or, much worse, we see velvet Elvis, dogs playing poker, and singing fish. Face it. Great works of art often are not roundly embraced by the masses. (My favorite line in "Amadeus" is said to Mozart in criticism of one of his masterful compositions: "Too many notes.") Oh, lol, I love me some Kinkade.  Mozart is my favorite classical composer, so |

Mods, is it possible to put this on the front page so it's easy to find and do first thing in the morning? Thanks! Idk why it disappeared. I asked multiple times but no one answered. Don't want to be mean but in recent time I've got ignored too much. Either I did anything wrong or my English is so bad that nobody understands what I'm trying to say. Or my ideas are so empty, they're not interesting to read at all... |

You work hard on Adam's behalf and we vote every time you remind us. Fandom is just having a little meltdown right now, but tomorrow will be calmer and I'm sure one of the mods will see this message and respond. Don't be sad!! |
