 found on IDF made this!!! Well ... without the writing, but still, I admired it this morning, when I first saw it. ETA: checked back, ame posted itdifferently today, more of a classic triptychon, with the sides in b/w and the middle in colour. Seems much more artistic to me, not so loud (much like the avi of maria222pf) o/c I do not know the origin LOL, theyr'e all mine. Triptychon, Jinx and this was the original pic. Hovewer, I just realized I wanted to add a title to triptychon not to that one. I had a moment of pimping myself on two forums simultaneously. |

I realize Billboard is an industry magazine and just being factual in reporting Adam's numbers. The number of records sold these days is so low in general compared to the old days. Some other outlets have picked it up and yes in the case of some I think they have a motive for wanting to diminish Adam's achievement, to take something special and make it seem small and ordinary. I love that Adam got #1, but Adam's story is not found in statistics. Adam is not only a great singer and performer, he is a great person, willing to endure personal sacrifices and face extraordinary scrutiny in the face of homophobia and judgment. Every time his name and face appear he faces all kinds of name-calling. He faces a climate where some listeners consider a gay person singing a song to be a political statement and some radio stations are cowardly about facing their ire. This #1 is very important because Adam is building his career and life with his voice, his brain, and his reputation, all while fighting injustice and the fact that some in the industry hold his sexuality against him and do not want him to succeed. YES !!!! |

I have just now managed to get through the whole thread! HAPPY BIRTHDAY COUNSELOR, SWALLOW, and ANASTASIAJO!! Virg77 thanks for the great pics from the concert. Jesslala thanks for taking the videos. It was great to see how enthusiastic the crowd was for Adam.
Animated and Ame really enjoyed your art and creative talent. And I vote for Kanadie to be Adam's sound man and our AFL inside reporter! ;D |

you should def tweet this to Adam! How effin' true.I think we should not underestimate the importance of radio play for continued and growing sales/success. WWFM helped make tremendous strides for Adam because of radio play which, IMO, led to his Grammy nom. Pop stars need radio play. I didn't tweet anything to Adam.. Adam is a lot smarter than I am and knows what to do.. but what if radio won't play his music?? |

You must sign in thru either facebook or twitter. I signed in thru twitter. This is not an easy one to vote for becasue the way they set it up. He is in 2 categories, so each category must be voted on separately 1. MUST FOLLOW ARTIST ON TWITTER 2. FAN ARMY I signed in with twitter and facebook and tried to vote, but it let me only vote two times in the category "Fan Army", after that I always got an error message. And in the other category I got this error message from the beginning! :-/ Anyone else having those problems? Or did I make a mistake? ??? Gotta do Fan Army first and then go down and vote for Must follow Artist on twitter. Vote only once for each one. I didn't refresh since I didn't have time. |
