I don't think so. Lots of UK play just makes it easier for UK artists to get noticed over there. Supposedly Gaga had trouble in the US at first with radio play and acceptance. However she had the gay population behind her in the US. She became famous in Europe, and with the help of the gay population in the US she got a foothold in the US after coming back to the US. I don't know if this article was posted yesterday, but it speaks to some of the topics on the thread today, about the clout of the LGBT community as consumers of music and their buying clout: www.billboard.biz/bbbiz/industry/touring/why-the-wanted-play-gay-clubs-marketing-1007300352.storyWhy The Wanted Play Gay Clubs: Marketing, Music And The LGBT Community's Mainstream Music Clout several Adam mentions, and article concludes with: "Regardless of genre, Epic's Seviour hopes the current cultural climate accelerates the change even faster. "Adam Lambert is the perfect example of someone who owns who he is, makes great pop music and is not defined by sexuality," he says. "He just makes great pop music."I believe the times they are a chaning. |

Thank you for making me feel so welcome. really should be doing some RL stuff!! glampooee ..........hope you got some sleep before your exams and that they went OK. Not sure what sort of micro-climate you have in your part of the UK - IT'S BEEN BLOODY COLD AND MISERABLE HERE IN THE SOUTH-EAST !!!. Ever since poor Adam landed in the UK, we've had about one and a half hour's of sunshine !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I'm sure even Finland has been sunnier and warmer! Our bizarre country had had a hose - pipe ban due to lack of rain in the spring - since then we've never seen the sun!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Oh well, at least Adam is loving the shopping. Our fashion is cutting edge.  (still finding my way around) , hello and welcome  . I'm from the South-East too and it's been a lovely warm sunny day for the most part. However, I've been made aware (by my drippy gutter) that it's raining now. The way this is going on we might even get some sunshine for part of the school holidays  |

I don't have a way with words, that's why I spend most of my time lurking  And I will do my best to make this short and sweet. I've been pondering the sense of unease that can be felt throughout fandom... whether it's fear, worry, or just plain battle fatigue. We've chosen to support a man who's path is difficult on many levels. Change doesn't come easily, Adam knows this and we know it intellectually, but I think emotionally we wish that wasn't so. I think we need to savor our victories, Grammy nomination and a critically acclaimed 2nd album to name just two, but accept that it's going to be a long process. I'm stubborn and Adam deserves success and I'm not going let the difficulties he faces wear me down or take the joy out of supporting such a deserving individual. THIS ^^^^^ and one thing for sure, THINGS THAT EASILY COMES WILL EASILY GO TOO. All the LEGENDS in the music industry, their success didn't come over night or within a year or 3 years. It took them longer than that. We know Adam will break one wall at a time and he will get to be where he supposed to be, on top. |

Scanning pic for anything Adam related Got nothin! Maybe his water bottle. Yes but did you find out where the other hand came from. I have to know the answer before I go to bed or I won't sleep. If you look closely it's absolutely identical. It's just been 'shopped in 8-) |
