TWEET BY mitla96 Guys, you should write letters to Entertainment Weekly also, always taken more seriously than tweets. www.ew.com/ew/contact_us/I'm doing this as we speak. *fuming* |

Here is the EW article of Trespassing www.ew.com/ew/article/0,,20594232,00.html MUSIC REVIEW Trespassing (2012) Adam Lambert B - Adam Lambert might be the only American Idol alum who considers purple eyeliner a daytime look. So it's hard to understand why it took him so long to make his big gay dance-club album. ( :  WTF? ) Even after he came out in 2009, the eighth-season runner-up didn't stop flirting with the straight crowd, indulging in classic-rock guitars and gender-neutral pronouns on his debut, For Your Entertainment. But on Trespassing, he's left the closet far behind — defending gay marriage (''Outlaws of Love'') and celebrating what happens when two consenting adults love each other enough to share their safe words (''Chokehold''). He's also officially coming out as a superfan of funk, '80s-night house, and Studio 54 grooves, tapping Chic's Nile Rodgers to produce, along with Pharrell Williams and Dr. Luke. Thanks to these pop vets, Trespassing's first half is a study in fabulosity: ''Kickin' In'' is stripper-heel disco at its finest, and the rousing ''Shady'' plants its freak flag in the uncharted territory between Nine Inch Nails and Michael Jackson. Too bad the ballad-heavy second half is so laughably over-the-top By the end, our hero is wailing about fallen Towers of Babel and ripping away his flesh and bone to a ''red river of screams.'' Cheer up, Glammy. It's nothing a little makeup remover can't fix. B- Best Tracks: Scissor Sisters-inspired Kickin' In : Industrial Pounder Shady : She is loving the dance part, she's mocking the dark part. WUT? OK then ETA I brought it all over if you don't want to give them hits. Apparently besides being the idiot I first believed her to be, she also has no heart. Glad to read this because now that I have, it is easy to write this reviewer off in my mind. |

There is a EW attack on twitter going on right now and I'm lovin it. I didn't exactly like the tone of the review, but when they hit that last line, I got pissed. I guess she removes all her bad experiences, pain, and bad relationships with "makeup remover"? WTF??? |

skylar - the reviewer is a she, Melissa Maerz. She's been a writer and senior editor for Spin and Rolling Stone (according to a quick google search).
gelly - please, do not let your blood pressure rise! people are pointing out very well what is wrong with the review in those tweets you brought over and, really, the article points it out all by itself anyway. And, in the midst of it all, the reviewer does like the first half: a "study in fabulosity." (I predict she will soon tweet to report that while some fans have misunderstood her sense of humor, her many, many gay friends think she's hysterical and totally "get her.")

Hmmm the EW reviewer seems to resent Adam for "flirting with the straight crowd", "indulging in classic-rock guitars", "using gender-neutral pronouns", and "wearing purple eyeliner" . Almost sounds as though he thinks Adam hasn't been loyal enough to the gay community. Sounds a little angry, resentful, and mean. Sounds like someone who is very afraid of how Adam is perceived rather than someone who is objectively reviewing Adam's music. This is a very sad thing. DID THEY EVER LOOK AT THE FYE COVER? DID THEY? FUCKIN MORONS. Looks to me like this person wants, or is close to someone who wants Adam in the box. Seems like they think Adam is too gay and shouldn't be flirting with a straight crowd. Maybe someone writes reviews for her? Maybe she is friends with someone who feels this way. |

I know what you mean. In a twisted kind of way, I'm kinda glad the review is so ridiculous and even homophobic. It takes the sting out of the grade (which I realize isn't that low, but it should definitely be higher!), because you have to conclude that if the reviewer is this biased and stupid, she can't be taken seriously in her opinion of the music. |
