2.13.11 THE 2011 GRAMMYs

I'd like to thank Adam not only for his incredible talent, style, and presence but for his dogged and consistent defense of his fanbase. During and right after idol the Glamberts were unfavorably compared to the Claymates ad nauseam. I don't think I ever heard anything positive about the Claymates from media. They were consider BSC and a severe detriment to Clay's career. Their reputation stunk to put it mildly. There were comparisons drawn between Claymates and Glamberts early on and interviewers in the beginning tried very hard to get Adam to denigrate his fans. Many celebrities tend to go along with the negative portrayal that the media likes to promote regarding BSC fans. Clay certainly didn't do anything of significance to defend his fanbase. Adam however never ever went along with this meme. He consistantly and determinedly defended his fans changing the interviewers characterization to passionate, loyal and loving and an important support of who he is as an artist. I noticed that it didn't take long at all for the most negative comments to subside and over time the fanbase portrayal in the media became more and more positive. I think the characterization of fans as older women took longer to subside than that of crazy people. In the last few months the media has more often than not used Adam's terms of passionate and loyal rather than crazy to describe the Glamberts but more importantly the tone of the comments have been that of awe and respect. We have become a big plus to Adam's career recognized as such by the media as well as being recognized as a force for good due to the charitable contributions that Adam has inspired. I truly don't think that shift would have happened had Adam not been so consistent in his defense of us.

If Idol can fly one shoe in from Europe for Adam, FedEx can get a suit from NYC to LA overnight 8-)
