I used Safari, Firefox, Google chrome and all set to private browsing and each vote I sent had a message "Thank you, we have already counted your vote."  Has the message to vote been on twitter yet? Maybe someone could go there and remind people to vote.  Tweeted but don't have heaps of followers but hopefully one of the ones with lots Retweets it. |

It is a total waste of time to vote in the Popcrush poll unless you change your IP address. You can clear your cookies and it looks like you have voted again, but you have not. You can vote once from home, once from your phone, once from a Starbucks or the public library, once from work, etc. but you have to change your location. Three computers voting from the same network = 1 vote. ---- There are other spammable polls. This is just not one of them. So better use of time is spread the word about the poll :-) |

Probably best to just stay away there. I imagine it can be pretty nasty. Maybe they will just stay away!!  Most Queen fans are great. I happen to be a long-term current member of the "official" Queen fan club and I adore Adam. So at least one Queen fan is not a hater! A few Adam fans have foolishly posted things about Adam being > Freddy on Queen forums and disrupted them. I do not think any of these moron fans ever saw Freddy live. IMO they are both amazing and both incomparable. Just like the "Adam is the greatest vocalist ever" fans do not represent all Adam fans, the "Freddy was the greatest vocalist ever" fans do not represent all Freddy fans or all Queen fans. JMHO YMMV. |

I'm not worried about the haters on the Queen site. It just leaves more tickets for those who WANT to hear the new sound from Queen. I bet if you counted the number of different posters slamming Brian, Roger, and Adam, they would number less than 200. Maybe less than 100. Roger and Brian certainly anticipated this reaction from the fringe, and they're not going to let the very vocal, very small minority dictate the music they can play and with whom.
I expect that most people who love classic rock are eager to see the iconic band in concert once again. There are probably also folks who read Adam's name and wonder if this "new kid from a realty show" can possibly do justice to the music. They will attend, equally interested to see either a great rock concert or a train wreck. In their minds both would be entertaining. And there will also be a large contingent of Adam fans in attendance.
It's gonna be sooooooooo good!

I do understand what you are saying but who do they think they are, God! All we are doing is trying to support Adam just the way other fan bases do. If they have a problem it's because they already do. People listen to stations from all over the world. I myself last night listened to The Flea just to see what they played other than Liams program and I have to say it was fantastic! What a mix of music from 20, 30 years ago to today. I will listen again. I have the same problem here in Madison. My top 40 station WZEE hasn't played BTIKM or NCOE yet. I'ts like pulling teeth. I will keep trying anyway, once a day. I truly believe it would go over if they gave it a chance. I always hear, well we haven't had many requests for it. Ya I'm not surprised no ones heard it yet. I also hear some very obscure music played from artists I've never heard of. As soon as they release it's on the radio! Total BS! Sorry for the rant, it just bugs me so much!   lol, like any pagan god PDs/owners should be treated with respect, caution, deference, and possibly offered garlands of flowers, i dunno.  Also anything we can do to correct some of the more negative preconceptions about idol fanbases and radio play would be great too: preconception: idol fanbases are only interested in their idol, they don't listen to current top 40 music -- show that you are interested and appreciative of the other artists and songs the station is playing. preconception: idol fanbases aren't in the demographic that radio station advertisers are targeting. This is tricky, my frankly honest opinion is that it's one of the times when I'd probably choose to be a little discreet about age if you aren't in the demographic when requesting. If you are in the demographic, be vocal (in a friendly, polite way), and visible! BTW I think both these preconceptions are why the active and vocal fanbases of 1Direction, Beiber, Disney Stars, K Perry, Gaga, you name it can possibly sometimes get away with more with regard to radio requesting than Adam fans can. Also the fact that these artists obviously have a stronger airplay and sales record than Adam has at this point. Patience and persistence. Things are the way the are, just work with them, don't rail against them is what I tell myself. |

John Mayer group is voting..or at least some are. Adam dropped and so I kept on voting, brought it up .02 (along with whomever else is voting) and now Mayer is coming up agin. So JM's tweet worked. But I can't be here all day voting ...need some help here. edit: But Adam makes us all happy and that gives us such a great feeling. OUR SITE is where we need to ROAM. Too bad people have to voice negativity to "feel"???? Not even sure what it provides for the haters??? A forum?? Now back to voting for Adam. Now come on...we have fallen into the negativity trap ourselves many a time as well...think Biebers, Gaga, NAL, JD just to name a few.  :-/  eta...just keeping it real... Your right. I agree the site has many many times. No site is perfect. In my "mind", which did not translate well by my words.... I was leaning to those who Personally...scroll and do not post for days here to avoid the trap or talk of others..but the Adam talk is usually on the positive tone. |

This probably was already posted, but do anyone have the full translation of the Polish press conference?

The way I look at it, we are NOT going to change the system. Sorry, we're just not. It's a dirty business and it is what it is. If we're frustrated, that's understandable. Come here and rant and gripe to your hearts' content. But don't rant AT or TO the PDs/DJs/stations, omg please please don't. I've seen this happen and it gives me chills of horror. It does NOT help Adam and risks hurting him. We talk all the time about how Adam is above and beyond Idol, but as fans we have to also be above and beyond typical Idol fan behavior. Radio stations especially have seen this stuff for 10 years and they can pick it out pretty easily. Play the game and do it smartly, so we can truly help Adam take it to the next level this era! |
