Susie, the GMA flail was on yesterday's thread. It may have gotten a little over shadowed by the EW thing. Historic indeed! I called it "completing the ABC banning Trifecta!" AMAs, Kimmel, GMA!!!!!!!  |

Justwishin, bamafan and I are all set for the concert on the 14th. Well, if you consider being all set when you don't have a ticket to the concert yet.

I would not expect an apology or any response from EW. I am choosing to believe that this was a failed attempt at humor written by someone who is squarely stuck in the 20th century.
Perhaps she should realize it is not 1970's.
Music should not be classified as gay or straight.
Artists should not be classified as gay or straight.
And people should not be classified as gay or straight.
What is also novel about this review is that it is the first review of Trespassing that has not mentioned the vocals in any way. Is the another one?
I can live with a B-. But I cannot live with "So it's hard to understand why it took him so long to make his big gay dance-club album. 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'')."
This makes the deficiency of the album that he is too gay. Sorry, that kind of review just does not cut it will me.
ETA: I just posted my opinion on this review on Page 1. I really tried to pass on this one but I could not do it. Perhaps I need to become a better person but this one really bothers me.

planetgrady.tumblr.com/post/22752111745/altrespassingreviewMy Review of Adam Lambert’s ‘Trespassing’ I loved Adam Lambert’s last album. In a world of dance music full of hip hop, synthesizers, and autotune it is nice to hear a male vocal artist who can sing lyrics better than Christina Aguilera while being able to blend pop and rock tones. Now, after hearing the full album, here’s what I think… The album is seething with juicy musical nostalgia. It opens up with the title track, “Trespassing,” which feels very much like a Queen song. The lyrics seem to describe a drug trip, but you wonder if maybe the song is the story of Adam somehow tripping out so much he psychically came across Freddie Mercury’s plane of creativity. Seriously, listen to the song, think about Queen and drugs and tell me you don’t jokingly feel the same. Another standout track is “Shady,” which I swear to God Michael Jackson had to have produced from beyond the grave. The way Adam controls his pitch on this song even sounds like the way Michael probably would have sang it. My personal favorite is “Cuckoo.” The instrumentals and lyrics are very similar to the songs on Madonna’s new ‘MDNA’ album. It’s almost like he robbed the song from her and said: “Bitch, let me show you how a track like this should really sound.”
Virtually all of the songs are great on this album. Though some seem a tad forgettable, the fact that Adam lets loose his vocals completely on 95 percent of the entire album makes up for that. I dare to say that this is the best album I have heard so far all year. You’ll definitely want to check this out. Bravo, Adam!

Not sure if this has made it over here: RainOnMe83: We're going over my favorite song right now in rehearsal "If I had u"...this song makes me feel some kind of wayWonder why IIHY (although I still love it). Maybe for the radio concerts so non fans recognize a song? Maybe WWFM too? Not happy about that. He should be doing his new music. But I do understand the reason for it. Why would you not expect IIHY? IIHY and WWFM will be in any concert that is more than 5 songs such as the Wilkes Barre one, Six Flags, and DC. We will be hearing those 2 forever. Non stans would be very upset if he didn't do his singles. I went to a Springsteen concert a few years ago and he didn't do Dancing in the Dark or Born in the USA! I was so pissed!! |

Drive by post re the EW review. I am going to go one step further than saying this woman's review of the music is fine, just not her homophobic remarks. I believe her homophobia (and NO, I don't believe it was just humor) influenced her review significantly. I get that everyone has their own opinions and that I am a TAD biased about Adam's music, but...Underneath? She picks Underneath to attack, really? "Laughably over the top" she says (read: laughably flamboyantly gay). This song is not OTT. Only the chorus has over-stated lyrics while the rest is very simple and straight foward, and stripped down. This is hardly a song I ever imagined someone would be able to not see the simple honest in. It is clear that she is UNABLE to (--watch me use the correct verb here, unlike her) STRIP away the flesh and bone and see beyond his purple eyeliner (freak) to the human within. She proves the point perfectly. And I don't think that the part of her review that actually reviews should be seen as unbiased in any way. Has adam ever actually worn PURPLE eyeliner? not to make light of the situation but jfc she can't even get the color of his liner right : Not that I've ever noticed; I think it's a clear example of her using ridiculous exaggeration to make her lame point or spur her WEAK attempt at humor. Spinning the exaggeration, then attacking him on that, was her first major fail. By now, we're so far off in left field of the task at hand – which is the current music. Same thing with her fact-checking fails, she gets everything wrong, then laments about her off-the-wall interpretation. The whole thing is just lazy, ugly and childish. She really came off looking like a fool here, in so many ways. I don't know what that even is about reviewing right now. Pop dust did the same thing (before I got tired of reading their tedious one-page-per-song reviews with different reviewers doing different songs. (No continuity.) Some of the reviews pulled incorrect lyrics (friend Daddy?) and then complained they didn't understand what they meant. ("Red river of screams."??) Seriously? You expect to understand the meaning of every lyric of every song you hear on first listen? When the hell did that start? If so, I've got questions about every song I've ever heard since I was five that I need to ask you about. : : |
