I keep looking at the topic for today - "I couldn't be happier". It challenges me to look at the glass as half full. It is so easy to adjust to the "new awesome" as the new normal. Just a few days ago the concern was for a release towards the top of the chart and presto - #1. Then the angst that UK was so hard to crack and kazaaaam - Royal Albert Hall and a major radio station. Though it is tough with crazy US radio, seems like the worst case scenario is major major star status abroad and and big bucks coming in from touring until the inevitable US Jericho radio walls come tumbling down. I think this train has no brakes. Go Adam!!!!!!!!!!! Go Atop!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Thank you ! |

Rjacks - -
The articles that dismiss Adam have become part of the cage liner for my parrot.
I try to think about this in a way that isn't being from Adamtopia. Or being a fan of Adam.
This gorgeous man, who, sans airbrush, has bone structure and body structure that speaks 'eloquent' for anyone who studies the human form, can sing like no other. Perform like no other. Owns the stage like no other. He is pure bred talent like no other.
For this reason alone, he will not fade away. He cannot fade away. He is too splendid. He will be present for the rest of my life. That is a fact!
I see the situation this way. Adam is sophisticated. He has released a spectacular, unique album that Trespasses into depths of feeling and performance unlike what radio finds comfortable, niche, and readily accepted. I'm not sure of the demographics discussed today, but I think Pop is looking for acceptance somewhere in the 14-29yr age range. Adam will appeal to the 'tweens' but his market, his fans, in my opinion, are older. We buy CDs; we download now and then; but we do not incessantly add singles to the iPod we listen to in our spare time. I don't see many people my age - or even 15 years my junior - walking around on their lunch hour or waiting for a bus with an iPod in their ear. Most of us are headed to the grocery store or the soccer field or just towards home, kids, and family.
Sometimes I wonder if media can figure how to handle this hot potato. It's just like the game I used to play as a kid. The 'hot potato' went from grasp to grasp; and there was only a moment to think about how to handle it. I always wanted to be the one left with it; but, if it were me, I always lost - because I never knew what to do with the gift I cradled in my hands.
When people worry about 'What happened to Clay' or ' look at OLFIP' or the numbers for former Idols I just throw up my hands. Adam is ADAM. He is is a league of his own. He has no comparison. His measurement of success cannot be on the same scale as any other performer, ever. Don't we see this? Compare Adam; measure Adam . . . to who??
Adam's success in the media will thrill me. However, I'm not thinking about today. I know how fleeting today is. Part of what excites me about this journey is my certainty that this obsession will, one day, still bring smiles to the faces of my legacy (who, right now, wonder if I'm Cuckoo).
"Yes, she really listened to music again. And showed us the importance of love, in every way, for everyone".
More to come.

Had to popped back in to post this, lol. I am hopeless. Video and pro pics.hollywoodpq.com/2012/05/31/adam-lambert-a-montreal/Adam Lambert à Montréal Adam Lambert est à MONTRÉAL! On n’a définitivement plus d’oreille. Lui non plus! Il était ce soir dans les studios de MusiquePlus et a donné une entrevue d’une HEURE et jasé promo de son nouvel album Trespassing! Il a flashé à souhait son vernis à ongle argent, ses bottes en imitation de crocro et sa coupe à la Hairspray (il a avoué que pour faire tenir ses cheveux, il n’avait d’autre choix que d’utiliser du hairspray). Adam Lambert est gentil à la puissance 100 et sourit tout le temps! Ps: Vidéo prise pendant une pause, la foule chantant sa chanson. |

Trying so hard not to be down about all of this (this article, other similar comments, the drop, slow adds). I myself am so very proud of him but feel like he/we are fighting an uphill battle. Just don't get it. The album is so fucking awesome. I need to feel hopeful but am struggling tonight. 
One idiot's words are not going to put me in a funk. I'd rather pay attention to what one magnificently talented, beautiful, warm, and charming man said: “I think it was a real accomplishment that the album was able to chart that high without a big single.”
Adam is absolutely right. For an album to debut at #1 without a hit single behind it is amazing. And I firmly believe that the hit singles are going to happen, and that they will keep the album selling steadily. No, I can't see into the future, but neither can this critic. His statements don't even make much sense, so who cares what he says?
I'm siding with Murly, and remaining calm. Why is one negative article cause for panic? Yes, TPS week 2 sales are down - but an earlier post on this thread documented similar week 2 drops for "established" artists such as Taylor Swift, J Lo and others. And there was another post noting that the album is rising again on the sales charts. Have faith, guys. It's happening for Adam - tho9ugh maybe not as quickly as some would like. |
