OMG. Thank You! I'm skeerd and will duck and hide too but I'm so over QAL and all the baggage. I won't rehash all by feelings but from day 1 I thought it was not a good career move. The only really good thing was all the $$$ he made but for some artists $$$ isn't their main priority. Being recognized for your own art is sometimes more important. Coming from the Queen side of the discussion, I respectfully disagree and I truly believe it has been mutually beneficial for both parties, but I will leave it at that. Agree 100% and I will say something I have said on twitter probably 10 times. "Just because we don't know what is happening behind the scenes does not mean it isn't happening." Imagine as an example. That is Adam being tapped as Adam Lambert. I do not recall seeing Queen anywhere in that video. And, IMO, the secrecy of this next album is secret for a reason. I am not privvy to the plan! And really, who am I to tell Adam how he should be making his first 10 million? I think Adam fans need to get used to the fact that the man can do many things & he will continue to tap into new things. Whether it be Queen, TV, Hosting, & and I am sure movies are coming in the future. If we want to follow someone that just sings Pop & puts out a new album every 2 years, he might not be your man! I don't get why people want him to do just one thing? ???

Well I think it was the best career move he could make. Imagine if he was still solo. Do you think he would have the visibility and exposure he has now? Unlikely. I can understand not liking how far it has extended. But this collab has done wonders for the Adam Lambert brand imo.

I don't get why people want him to do just one thing? ??? I completely agree with this entire post. Personally, I couldn't care less about what Adam is doing as long as he is doing something. That something could be QAL, it could be acting on a TV show, it could be promoting a new album, heck, it could be judging American Idol. To me, the only time when being an Adam fan is boring is when there's seemingly nothing going on. It's weird to see so many people split over what they want him to do - on one hand, you have the "I loved him on Idol and with Queen, his pop music sucks and his voice is too good for it" crowd, and on the other hand, you have the "He needs to get back into pop music to make himself relevant, no pop album = no1curr" crowd. As for me, I'm in the "Yay, Adam's doing something awesome!" crowd. My stanning for the man himself is strong enough to make me care about all of his projects. Luckily, most of them have been awesome. To say that QAL is doing him no favors is plain ignorant - look at all the tweets that came in after X Factor from people who had never heard of him before but wanted to know more. Look at how his Wikipedia page exploded. QAL is something incredibly significant to add to his resume - probably moreso than "Idol contestant" and "singer of two moderately successful pop albums". I'd also like to point out that all of these seemingly insignificant "distractions" have gathered him quite an eclectic fanbase over the past 5 years - he has some classic rock fans from QAL, some teen fans from Glee and PLL, some reality TV fans from Idol, pop fans from the Trespassing era, etc. That certainly can't be a bad thing when A3 is finally released.

Here's the thing we need to remember about the current Pop world. Artists are not making money on their records. Albums are selling like crap & the artists $$ take from single sales is laughable! That's why we see artists touring forever now! Katy's will be a year, Riahanna was almost non stop & JT 2 years! Artists know they need to diversify, not only for $$ but also for longevity. This is what I believe Adam's plan is. It is a very smart plan, IMO! Nonchalance! I FUCKIN LOVE YOU!!

That eclectic fanbase is something to be proud of and is probably quite rare in many ways. Also, perhaps it's a bit of a reverse situation from the Queen purists? Maybe some just don't like Queen and don't want him performing with them? Maybe just a shot in the dark.

Well, Queen was my all time favorite band, and Adam is my favorite current singer, so I have gotten the best of both worlds. I have travelled more places than I ever thought I would, to see a performance. Adam is so versatile, that he will have so many pokers in the fire and will always remain busy. It is exactly the way he likes it, and on his own terms, otherwise he would be bored. He makes friends wherever he goes. He has perfected networking. It is not your traditional career, but in today's world you have to be versatile and have to possess the ability to assimilate into whatever environment is thrown at you, otherwise you fail.
Adam will never fail. I truly believe everybody stans him in their own way, and anything he does is not equated to failure in his career, or a failure on our part as stans to connect the dots. I truly believe everything he does has purpose, and is a learning experience to be incorporated into his future endeavors. It has lead us stans to new way of thinking.
I am actually beginning to feel more comfortable living out of the box, and can truly appreciate everything Adam does. I have gained an appreciation and expanded my horizons. I am forever grateful for all the people on this board and the myriad of intelligent opinions and ideas.
