Your right Noreaster just to let it go. Guess I was thinking out loud. I got lots of RL stuff to do today. BBL. Geez, sweetie, I hope you didn't think I was criticizing you? I am working very hard to get zen about this issue. I usually fail. :  I think Melliemom needs to give us lessons. Hope you have a good RL day... ETA: Okay, just one more little bitter pissy mutter...."Southern Gentleman" my ASS. Now putting myself in time out corner...bad, bad noreaster...bad. I'm with you on this. Manners, oh manners where are you? - apparently not in that generation. Karma....none to be had !!!!!!!!!!! |

Another interesting Tidbit fro Brian May's Soapbox: CONCERT IN MOSCOW [AND SUN CITY] [Responding to a mail - see LETTERS] Well, emphatically YES, Dagmar - we would still have played Sun City if Freddie had been black (he was actually Persian, as I'm sure you know !) Because contrary to the popular spin at the time, Sun City was in Boputhatswana, not South Africa, and it was totally non-segrated … or we would not have gone there. We played to mixed audiences, and I visited Soweto to open a black music festival. The friends we made on that visit in the black community were part of the reason we were able to make such a success of organising Nelson Mandela's 46664 concert some years later in Green Point Stadium, Cape Town. There is a lot of misconception about that whole period. Queen never played in any situation which signified endorsement of segregation … and we never will. But if we decided never to play in any country where there is ignorance and prejudice, I fear we would never play anywhere - including the UK. We will, of course be looking carefully at current developments in Russia as regards gay rights. Thanks for writing. love Bri Thanks for sharing that. I am so falling in love with Brian! What an amazing, intelligent, thoughtful man. I'm so glad Adam is getting to know and work with him. |

I like Kris, but if I was in his position I wouldn't like to constantly remind the world that the guy who lost to me on American Idol is constantly out-doing me in every single way. Agreed but unfortunately I think he does himself a disservice....I know I go out of my way to support anyone who supports Adam. Kriss could have easily tapped into a whole lot of goodwill.......major fail.

@adamlambert i love you <3 thank you so much!
^^ Good girl *pats on head* Brian May speaking about getting a VISA. What are the requirements? British citizens need a visa to come to the US for a certain period of time? - or is it because work is involved?? Anybody? anyhoo...
HAPPY BIRTHDAY glitterglambert98 and crazy4you!! |

butterfly I am still scorned but I am hoping some tickets will show up at the normal fee as I can not afford the prices on getmein. If its meant to be I will get tickets. There needs to be a law against these scalpers. Glamtealady, there are tickets available from other ATOP'ers and also on twitter. Maybe, you may want to take a look. No harm in trying.[/quote Thanks I did put myself on the list and I am checking ticketmaster to see if some come up. |

Some really cute pictures on his blog. |

I've always assumed that most of the communication between Adam & his friends is private.
Adam is in a position to actually help friends in the business by promoting their work.
It doesn't generally work the other way around.
Public tweets from Kris to Adam only seem to generate bitching from Adam fans.
No matter what he says, he should have said more or he should have said it better or he should have tweeted about something else, too.
After Adam's tweet last night, Kris had to say thanks.
It's best that he doesn't say any more.

I kind of agree 4Msrmyn.
I also think that while Adam and Kris are certainly friends, they have completely separate lives, running in totally different circles. It wouldn't surprise me if Kris has never heard NCOE and has no idea it's been released. He is probably unaware of 90 percent of the stuff Adam has going on right now.

Obviously, Kris is so insecure, maybe he feels, that if he tweets support to Adam, that his fans will back away from him or not support him. Honestly Kris needs all the support he can get. A southern gentleman, he is not. |

Awww. butterfly Bless your heart. It has indeed been very stressful for me, needacoke and justwishin as well. Our only silver lining is we haven't made plane reservations yet. I was in tears yesterday morning on the phone with justwishin. This morning needacoke sent me her CC statement to decipher...charge/credit, charge/credit, on and on. Hopefully, when the dust settles and all the tics are truly confirmed and all the hotels and flights are settled, we'll get back to feeling all the joy and excitement. I'm so looking forward to meeting you and many other Atopers in London! Thank you bamafan!  It feels already better when I read your compassionate words. Words have a healing power (and the emotion behind the words). Also looking forward to meeting you and other Atopers in London! |

Radio NRJ Finland poll has been mentioned here before. The poll will be resolved tonight in about three hours. They ask name, age, phone number (if it shows in the link I used an imaginary one starting with 040, other possibilites 050, 0400, 044). www.nrj.fi/hittivaihuti I expect all Finns, at least, to take part - NOW GO!!! |

I think Melliemom needs to give us lessons.
