Slightly OT, but I watched part of this C-SPAN panel discussion about distribution of videos, films, and music. The one thing that stayed with me is that they talked about how the era pride in owning media was important has passed and now access to it is more important--access from any device at any time. We are definitely a fandom that still has pride of ownership. :D www.c-spanvideo.org/program/VideoonAdam seems to understands the value of his fans desire to own his music and to be fan advocates. He essentially said it when he was on the 2011 Grammys social media panel. But attitudes and purchasing patterns are really changing. Its going to be interesting to see how it all ends up when the dust settles. |

RT @leannefabjoy Would love to see Queen feat Adam Lambert releast on DVD #GlambertsAdoreAdam I do not know about a DVD because they are expensive to produce -- and there is not word that any of these concerts are going to be professionally videoed/filmed. Without an associated project, usually a telecast, just can't see it happening. But I am ready to pre-order it!!! |

LOL to the google translation again and also to the DJ who wrote it - and got her metaphors in twist. Try my version: Finland's own son-in-law Adam Lambert switches to high gear and cruises with windows open and pop music turned way up. NCOE is a benign earworm and its beat gets even the dance addict to dance. She uses "parkettien partasuti" where the hardwood means the floor material to dance on and shaving brush which is not a common saying. She probably aims to "parkettien partaveitsi" again hardwood combined with a razor blade. That expression describes a good and eager dancer, well-shaven and well-dressed ready to charm the ladies with his talented moves (originally in waltz, fox-trot etc). Well, I guess she actually tried to say that it gets even a wall flower (the most reluctant) to dance... |

Adam Lambert Says He Can't Win On How He Portrays Being Gay
By On Top Magazine Staff
Published: June 03, 2012
Singer Adam Lambert has said he can't win on how he portrays his sexual orientation.
The openly gay Lambert appeared Wednesday on CBC Radio's Q with Jian Ghomeshi to pitch his sophomore album Trespassing.
Lambert, 30, said of the track Outlaws of Love: “This song is super important to me. I think this song probably has the most dignity on the album. It has a certain amount of restraint that I was really excited to create. It's about the sadness that I sometimes feel when I look at the struggle of the LGBT community. All of our challenges. You know there's the marriage equality thing going on right now, kids are being bullied in schools. Just the general ignorance surrounding the community. It saddens me sometimes. … This is the one song on the album that really kind of laments how depressing it can be sometimes.”
On his portrayal of his sexual orientation, Lambert said: “You can't really win, either way. On one hand to a certain audience you're too gay and it's, 'Why is he always talking about gay this, gay that. That's all he talks about.' And then to the gay community, 'Ok, he's not being gay enough. Or he's not being the right kind of gay,' which I don't even know what that means. … It's something that's not as under my control as people think it is. That's where it gets trippy.”
