Since joythemeparty played Purple Haze from Amsterdam and trend it on twitter just a reminder of what happened that night    I remember Chunkey's take at her site on that second gif (she had a view from the front) - it involved a dog getting hit by a car.  I laughed until I cried! Obviously, that puppy only has the use of 3 limbs. |

Perhaps he wanted to broadcast the recommendation on Twitter with an @adamlambert on it for promotional purposes. It got picked up on many Adam fans sites -- so it appears to have been noticed. Just a thought -- cause I am certain that Drake could at least get a message to Adam privately. did you really think i thought drake didn't have adam's number? lol. (edit: fixed tense) Had no idea what you thought but many fans are interpreting it as Drake doesn't have any direct access to Adam -- I just posted an alternate theory about why Drake did a public @al Tweet. |

I have a question for you all. Adam keeps saying the next album will be "more organic." I get that remark. But he also keeps saying it will be "less campy." This confuses me. The only thing campy, to me, on FYE was the cover. I can't think of a single song, I would consider "campy." If I were to think of some recent songs, in the Pop world, that are "campy" California Gurls and Tik Tok come to mind. But of the songs on FYE, nothing. What does he mean by that? I've been wondering the same thing. I'm not sure I'm happy about his comments. :-/ If FYE and GNT are considered "campy" then I'm going on record to say I will miss the camp. But then again he does give us what we didn't know we wanted, doesn't he? I didn't know I wanted camp & apparently I did. So maybe I'll wind up wanting "honest & organic" (whatever that means). I thought FYE was pretty damn honest. I fell in love with theatrical Adam and I'll miss him if he goes away. But I'm a pushover for anything he does so it's all good! I haven't worried for one minute over what Adam is going to do in the next album. On Idol, Adam was never repetitive with his performances. I think, or rather hope, that we will be getting the same thing with his CD's. I love me some camp but I'm excited at the prospect of getting a different flavor from Adam this time. He is so incredibly multidemensional that I think it's a smart move to show the world something different. I want Adam making music for us for a long time and I just see this as another piece of the entire body of work he will make. |

Bamafan I don't have any NEW stories to tell since September - It has been pretty quiet in Kentucky since Adam whirled through, though Gaga was here last weekend, if that counts. And the only man in my life is now ADAM, so it will be up to all the newbies to share! Though ljsmack can spin a good tale or two- She and I were both at the Indianapolis show, which was AWESOME. I am trying hard to be a DVD/CD virgin until Mayumis so it will be all new! It will be great to see everyone again and to enlarge our circle - Wouldn't it be great to have an Atop gathering with Adam present - I don't know who would be the last survivor - but I don't even think Adam can keep up with this bunch!! See you and the "gang" soon! |

My husband just called me from New Jersey where he is scouting the Ultimate Fighting Championship ( for his movie) to let me hear WWFM playing in the background, haha... in the middle of all of the metal. I am laughing with those of us who are female and married when I think of how many of our husbands call us with song reports and offer them to us like little gifts of chocolates... sweet... and no calories! |

I thought FYE was pretty damn honest. I fell in love with theatrical Adam and I'll miss him if he goes away. But I'm a pushover for anything he does so it's all good! He might see it as more honest if he's more involved in the writing process. It becomes less about interpreting and performing someone else's words, which he did for years in theater, and more about expressing himself by giving more of himself. Adam says he's going to be this or he's going to be that and then he claims that he hasn't started and doesn't know...then it's back to 'this' or 'that.' Look at what Adam has given us off of FYE: production, live, acoustic, remixes and multiple interpretations of the same song. Odds are that the camp will be there. It just won't be camp foot first. He won't let himself get boring. His toned down at the Grammys was still an insanely gorgeous visual. He may wear less makeup but his hairstyles when he goes out are still pretty outrageous. |

If I were to think of some recent songs, in the Pop world, that are "campy" California Gurls and Tik Tok come to mind. But of the songs on FYE, nothing. What does he mean by that? Oh, I think a lot of the songs are campy, personally, especially when you watch Adam perform them, and I mean this as a compliment--they're funny and charming and a little willfully bizarre. Just a couple of examples of the top of my head--Music Again, and Strut. Watch Adam perform either of those songs, with the strutting about and the elaborate eye roles and the put on accents and occasional (for lack of a better word) "broadway" intonation to the singing and I think they are wonderful camp at its finest! (Like a lot of moments in Freddy Mercury's performances). The GN Live Strut is a perfect example, for me, of a camp performance by Adam (and while I agree California Girls is a little campy, I don't find Tik Tok that campy at all, just more straightforward tongue in cheek, perhaps). To be honest, I've had to swallow my protests a few times lately when I've heard Adam talking about Album 2, and saying it will be more honest and less camp, because to me camp and honest aren't mutually exclusive, especially in Adam, who pulls off camp with such natural charm that it feels like he's simply being a wonderfully exaggerated version of his own free self. I love Adam's campiness and that he doesn't deny himself it, and I hope he continues not to. But I understand of course what he means when he says that, and just remind myself of my total faith in him, and in his ability and intention to produce something wonderful and surprising. You want campy? I think this performance gave me the most laughs of the whole tour! Music Again, to me, is the song that expresses "campy" the most and this performance exhibits and demonstrates it to the max! Watch him with the towel. At one point he drops it & picks it up AGAIN! I will LOL forever at this! |

There are so many of these around that I've lost count  . But just adding this one here anyway, as it is made to one of my very favourite songs by Jenni Vartiainen. |
