I don't know...I'm skeptical about that "Adam fired the sound guy" story. I would think each venue would have their own sound team. But what do I know? (Answer: virtually nothing.)

So, it's indoor then, that actually is a very good thing considering the weather in Japan in August; on the other hand, it might not be such a good thing for some of us preferring more skin  , cause ya know, nice & cool inside almost a guarantee that Adam is gonna layered up...yay! another cool jacket!(looking at the bright side :D )
Is Japan on the same seasonal thing as the States? For some reason I'm thinking their opposite (like Australia). I'm probably way off base with this....
Japan's on the same seasonal as the states.. |

I always love seeing and hearing articles, blogs and videos that show Adam in Russia and China.
If Adam can make it there, he can make it...New York, New York.
That Adam has so much appeal to music fans in Russia and China might seem strange. But I think that appeal comes from the fact that Adam is seen as a rebel, a revolutionary even, someone who is outside the mainstream and dares to trespass. In countries with totalitarian governments, Adam represents the freedom to "be me".

TALC girls "took the night off" last night after the show. So no videos have been uploaded from last nights concert. These girls have been working none stop for over a week now. Much needed break .. videos take a lot of work and time to process on their computers and to upload them.. I hope they don't show the IIHY part.. Adam doesn't need that kind of upset following him around.. Just saying. I'm sorry but, who cares? lol That comes with being a performer. It doesn't always go smooth. Besides, it's on YT |

www.huffingtonpost.com/mobileweb/jim-david/adam-lambert-plugged-in_b_1549606.htmlAdam Lambert Gets the Christian Music Critic Treatment
Plugged In Online is the movie reviewing arm of Focus On The Family, a Christian conservative organization. Plugged In's reviews can be entertaining, as if written by a committee of nuns criticizing the behavior of unruly eighth graders. The critics review the films not for their actual merit but for their moral worth, cataloging instances of sexual content ("Three scenes of passionate kissing, one scene of a man's hands inside a woman's blouse, one scene of cunnilingus leading to the woman's singing Gershwin"), profanities ("17 uses of the F-word, 38 terms for excrement), violence, and other "objectionable content." The reviews usually end with a summation of the debauchery of the films, actors and directors, and whether or not the work has any redeeming social value. Their reviews of Brokeback Mountain and The Kids Are All Right were especially fun, since the critics twisted themselves into pretzels saying, "This is a great movie, but... but... they're gay!" If audiences only chose entertainment based on Plugged In's reviews over the last couple of years, they would have gone to see The Blind Side and a couple of Pixar movies, with the advisory that cars don't actually talk, since that would be witchcraft. Plugged In also reviews music, TV and videos, functioning as a one stop shop for those seeking parental guidance, as in this review of Jennifer Lopez's Dance Again: "JLo's third collaboration with Pitbull offers an undulating pop ode to the joys of ... sex. Dancing may be this track's ostensible subject matter, but for Lopez and Pitbull, it's quite clear that music and dancing are the prelude and postlude to intimate encounters." This reminds me of the old joke, "Why don't Baptists have sex standing up? Because it could lead to dancing." Adam Lambert's sensational Trespassing, which debuted at #1 on the Billboard album charts, is the latest to get the Plugged In treatment. A number of the songs on Lambert's album deal with partying and hooking up, subjects of the vast majority of rock songs since Little Richard. Yet rather than review the great elements of Lambert's songs -- that they fuse various styles of pop, that you can dance to them, that Lambert's vocals are electrifying -- Plugged In focuses on the sex, or alleged innuendo thereof: Lambert is unapologetically shameless when it comes to singing about his voracious sexual appetites. Several songs hint at his willingness to engage in a risky sexual encounter with someone he's just met. And in this, Lambert perhaps unwittingly reinforces the stereotype historically held about gay men: Namely that they're promiscuous and sexually voracious, ready to indulge a carnal tryst at virtually any moment. Lambert doesn't brand himself as anything other than a great singer. It is Plugged In that brands itself as a nanny organization; a squad of moralists who can't stomach anything more risque than "Edelweiss." It's the same old story of church against artist that's been going on for thousands of years. Not only that, it fits perfectly with Focus On The Family's agenda to squelch any positive gay voices in the culture. An openly gay artist debuting at #1 is bound to make them squirm. Now that's entertainment.
I wonder what Plugged In's critics would have had to say about Peggy Lee's 1958 Fever, which is a song length come-on if there ever was one, or better yet Cole Porter's 1927 Let's Misbehave: "With lyrics like 'It's getting late and while I wait my poor heart aches on/why keep the brakes on/let's misbehave,' it's clear that the amoral Porter values random late night sexual hookups over committed monogamous relationships within the bonds of holy matrimony."

As for my comment on the sound guy...
Well, he is one of the two main DJs and he actually saw it happen and overhead it. He's a big supporter of Adam and DC glamberts so don't think he'd intentionally exagerate. He was drunk but not at the time it happened. I don't think he would have told me if he hadn't been drunk later though. lol.
I didn't think the had a sound guy traveling with him but a friend of mine @merrycello said he did after telling her about this. Whoever it was really pissed off Adam though! |

Queen @queenrockband ROGER TAYLOR TALKS ABOUT THE FREDDIE MERCURY HOLOGRAM, THE QUEEN EXTRAVAGANZA & ADAM LAMBERT: queenrockband.blogspot.com/2012/05/roger-taylor-talks-about-freddie.htmlROGER TAYLOR TALKS ABOUT THE FREDDIE MERCURY HOLOGRAM, THE QUEEN EXTRAVAGANZA & ADAM LAMBERTAUDIOTaylor also spoke briefly about the concerts in Europe that he and Brian May are doing as Queen with Adam Lambert, calling it “a sort of experiment.” Listen to Roger Taylor of Queen: I keep wondering what they mean by experiment. Hmmmm Maybe if this is going really well... or great, they want to have like a world tour with him .. which is quite impossible, since Adam wants to have his own tour next year .. or maybe they will try to have a couple of tour in US... LOL.. I really hope the second one. But Adam's open to record few songs with them. |
