If anyone doubts the homophobia in the EW review, just try to imagine the same review if Adam were straight. How much of it would be left? A couple of sentences, maybe? The writer reviewed Adam's sexuality, not his music. Excellent point! Here's the review then: "[Adam Lambert is] . . . 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.'' B- Best Tracks: Scissor Sisters-inspired Kickin' In Industrial Pounder Shady" Read more: adamtopia.com/index.cgi?board=daily&action=display&thread=877&page=34#ixzz1uQ340ak3 |

Refresh my memory, please - is GMA the show that booted him or the show that welcomed him after AMAs?

I am super thrilled that he is going to be on GMA on Monday morning, but could someone that understands promotion better than me, explain to me why this would not already be made public? ???
Do we think he is performing?

Jordan. @jordanmeehan I blog about pop/electronica for EQ Music Blog and have a rock music fetish. Get at me: jordan@electroqueer.com London · www.eqmusicblog.com/Jordan. @jordanmeehan Just read the EW review of Trespassing. Give me a fucking break. Let me set things straight in the comments...some bullshit..... Adam follows him. If he doesn't know already, I think he does though, I am sure he will now. This is Jordan's comment JordanEQWed 5/9/12 07:05 PM As a pop blogger, I've reviewed tons of songs and many, many albums but NEVER have I once found it appropriate to stereotype an artist and make snide remarks about their sexuality. The things said in this "review" are so unprofessional it is unbelievable. Whether or not you like the songs on the album is one thing, but to make homophobic remarks like this? Unacceptable. And to make light of the struggle faced by LGBT people is disgusting. A simple makeover can't fix discrimination & inequality.
Love this well thought out professional response, instead of the FUCK YOU that we were all probably thinking! |
