brian_mansfield brian_mansfield What does @adamlambert have in common w/Kelly Clarkson, Carrie Underwood, Clay Aiken & Scotty McCreery? A No. 1 album! content.usatoday.com/communities/idolchatter/index2012-05-23 Adam Lambert debuts at No. 1By Brian Mansfield Take that, doubters: Adam Lambert's Trespassing blew past the competition to debut at No. 1 on The Billboard 200 this week. The singer's second album sold 77,000 copies, according to Nielsen SoundScan, putting him 14,000 ahead of Adele's 21 for the week and 23,000 ahead of the No. 3 album, Carrie Underwood's Blown Away. That puts Adam in the top tier of Idols like Kelly Clarkson, Carrie Underwood, Daughtry, Ruben Studdard, Clay Aiken and Scotty McCreery, who have also topped the Billboard chart. Trespassing also topped the Billboard Digital Albums Chart and Canada's Digital Albums Chart. Adam's debut, For Your Entertainment, debuted at No. 3 in November 2009, selling 198,000 copies. Besides Adam and Carrie, three other Idol acts made The Billboard 200 this week: Kelly Clarkson (No. 52), Scotty McCreery (No. 97) and Daughtry (No. 171). Published on May 23, 2012 by AdamLambertVEVO

The one thing I know about the back up singers is that if Adam sees/hears a problem, he will do something about it. He is professional and a perfectionist. True enough. We have seen many changes in the band in this past year. And tommy joe and Ashley are sounding good at these shows. The fact that there are back up singers at all is just a beautiful development. This problem will get finessed out in time.

Kanadie: Thanks for responding. I wonder at Adam's choice not to bring his own sound engineers, knowing how exacting he is. Also knowing how unique his voice is, and what he can do with it that other sound engineers would not be accustomed to. But, maybe the people responsible for the equipment and sound at the venue are not too crazy about letting a "stranger" mess with their equipment, too. I would like to also support the ladies doing back up. I keep saying this, but, ladies and gentlemen, IF YOU CANNOT HEAR YOUR OWN VOICE YOU CANNOT STAY ON PITCH. It is like trying to hit the bulls eye of the target blindfolded. They sounded good in the AOL Sessions videos, where the sound was set so they could hear themselves. I don't think it is lack of technique, or lack of a good ear for pitch. I think it is all about the balance of the sound they are hearing or not hearing. While I agree the off-key singing is painful, I am not ready to throw the ladies to the wolves. I would imagine that it is Adam's and his managements choice not to carry a sound engineer with them due to budgetary issues. So it is a tradeoff, between getting what they need and what they want to spend. As for Adam bringing a sound engineer and that engineer not being able to touch someone's else gear....not an issue. The only time you run into not being able to touch the audio console, is when it is a television broadcast, and there are rules surrounding that scenario. In fact the sound engineer that Adam is dealing with that day would most likely be relieved if Adam showed up with his own guy, so he would not have to figure out and be responsible for trying to make Adam happy. They do the best they can with the limited amount of time available. TIME is the key on these multi act events, and usually there is very little of it to be had.

Unfortunately something dies emotionally in man when he is so called straight. ??? That wasn't written by me buderschnookie. I was responding to lili. My comment was that I wouldn't touch one hair on Adam's head. He was perfect just as he is.

GLAAD @glaad Congrats @adamlambert! Adam Lambert claims number one spot on @billboard Music Chart www.glaad.org/blog/adam-lambert-claims-number-one-spot-billboard-music-chart #trespassing #LGBT #gay t.co/Mb6nti8qADAM LAMBERT CLAIMS THE NUMBER ONE SPOT ON BILLBOARD 200 CHART Pop star Adam Lambert made history this week when he became the first openly gay singer to claim the number one spot on the Billboard 200 chart with his new album TRESPASSING. Artists like Elton John and Ricky Martin would certainly rank as some of the best selling artists of all-time, but neither managed to crack the number one position after publicly coming out as gay. Lambert himself came out following his appearance on the 8th season of American Idol, where he took runner-up. Despite that second place finish at the time, Lambert quickly amassed a hugely loyal fanbase, which helped propel the sales of his latest release. TRESPASSING, which was released on RCA Records/19 Recordings on May 15, was executive produced by Lambert and has been met with incredible critical reviews. Rolling Stone declares that Trespassing is “the great pop album everybody was hoping Adam Lambert would make” while New York Daily News exclaims, “it’s the sound of liberation achieved.” People Magazine raves that “Lambert stakes claim for the divos on his glamtastic second set” and USA Today proclaims that it is “the album that fans have been wanting from him.” In addition to making great music, Adam continues to be a strong voice for equality. He was nominated for Outstanding Music Artist at the 21st Annual GLAAD Media Awards. Huge congrats to Adam Lambert on his accomplishment! Check out the video for his latest single below.

It is a trade off of the money cost of personelle vs getting the sound experience he may want. Heh heh heh I had a sound job as an undergraduate, and dealt with a lot of local bands who didn't want to pay for rehearsal time. But their "band manager" would sit by my board during their section of show and then constantly berate me about the mix or effects. On couple occasions I'd get so pissed that things got drastic. Like when the cheapskates who refused to meet ahead of time, then disregarded all instructions, started moving taped microphones mid-show...which consequently caused caused earsplitting feedback as they walked in front of the bass speakers. Would flat-out turn off those mics and then took my sweet time turning them back on. Or the time one of those showed-up-5-minute-before-the-band-goes-on-stage "managers" sat at my board and whined about the fog machine (which wasn't set up for his band anyways, just didn't have time to take it offstage). "Needs more fog" "Needs more fog" "Needs MORE FOG". My partner and I looked at each other.....then grinned at turned it up to full. Lead singer disappeared behind the smoke and started coughing his head off. Turned to the agast "manager" and said. "Ya asked for more fog. Ya got it". That said, professionals don't (I hope) do that bullshit. Nonetheless, you gotta be at least considerate to the sound guy!
