Some YT translation of the Queen+Adam in Wroclaw, Poland (Moria posted it on the other site): Some translations:
"There's been many arguments as to which acts should be chosen [to kick off the the festival which is being organized for the first time]. The choice of Queen is the result of consultations with music journalists, it's not some whim of the management. I'm a great fan of Queen but that's not why they're going to play here. It's going to be a mega great concert and we're hoping to successfully repeat the formula in the future."
"It's kinda a cool thing because when we read posts on internet forums, aside from the traditional Polish buzzkills who would criticize any initiative, there are great voices from people from my own, a bit older generation who are happy to be able to hear their favorite songs from years past, but there are also lots of kids who will get a chance to listen to Adam Lambert, who is thought by the music experts to be one of the few in the today's music industry having range like Freddie Mercury, he's even compared to artists like Whitney Houston and Aretha Franklin. Top vocal quality."
"We don't know exactly what it's going to look like, but the person in charge is Wob Roberts, who worked with Robbie Williams and Codplay on their latest tours, so we can probably expect a highly visual-focused show. The band is currently working out the creative details."

I still follow Michael Sarver on Twitter just because he's been nice to Adam, but today he sent a handful of tweets criticizing a science special and saying he thinks scientists make stuff up because they couldn't possibly know everything. Well, I couldn't resist--I sent him a tweet saying, "Yeah, because religion is soooooo well researched. And makes soooooo much sense. /sarcasm." It just irritated me that someone who believes that a woman was made out of a man's rib and later talked to a snake in a garden would suggest that science is made up.
NOW HE'S FOLLOWING ME ON TWITTER!!! How weird is that?

guys im oretty sure adam's from "somewhere else" i mean why else would he say "in communication with the human race"?  Well, Neil did say long ago that Adam was a "glittery alien from Planet Fierce," so..... Also I remember Eber tweeting a while back that Adam was left at their doorstep by gypsies, tramps, and thieves, LOL. Maybe Adam is a changeling from a far better world, sent here to entertain us and teach us their far-more-evolved ways  !/milestougeaux/statuses/11452981246  ETAI don't know the exact context, but it was April Fool's Day (2010). |

murly -- totally weird. But glad you responded to him.
Megan Joy and Michael Sarver are both on my good list because they were nice to Adam on Idol. I particularly was pleased that Michael Sarver publicly supported him after the AMAs -- when it would have been easier for him to just lay low.

Nice art animated. I tell you girls, polish Queen fans are nightmare  I will never again touch their forums and websites with ten foot pole. What a traumatic experience. God! I need an antidote for them. Give me some Adam, please! Photos, videos, whatever! I know I'm super late but sorry about your experience with the prudish Queen fans. I added a few more pics to the pic thread hope they help. |

WOW!!! That was fast! HAC NCOE #50! 50 ADAM LAMBERT Never Close Our Eyes 118 27 91 0.933  I'm really glade to see this, as I was MAJORLY bummed at how fast BTIKM plummeted 15 positions on HAC this week. I mean very few songs on that chart drop that quickly. It was almost like all the stations called each other and said stop spinning it. ??? I know! :( My station KLLC 97.3 in SF totally stopped spinning BTIKM and they were the first to add the song.. confusing when they spin multiple songs of other artists on their playlist, although someone here mentioned it was typical.. ??? |

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. Thank you thank you thank you for this post and for your calm and sensible perspective. 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!
AMEN SISTAHS!!!!!!! |
