I know little about product endorsement, but my instincts tell me that anyone accepting a sponsorship or endorsement has obligations to a product that might exceed what Adam is willing to do. I think he's had offers as has been stated before by Q3, but he's in this 'clean slate' period of independence. I figure if and when Adam takes an offer, it will be something he's passionate about. Just a thought. Good for SS if he has an endorsement that works for him. I have no opinion on his music or his rise in the industry. There is another way to look at this. SS may need the endorsement to keep his name out there. I don't know where he is at with his voice problems. Is he singing again?

I had a conversation with one of the owner's of an Aveda hair salon (upscale). He has always liked Adam and loves "Another Lonely Night". However, he streams the music in the salon and all the streams have the explicit versions of the songs. So he says he can't play the new songs which have "fuck" in them and most of the songs he likes has the special word. Somehow I am surprised that fuck is an offensive word. I don't use the word alot (only appropriately) so I didn't realize that a business has to cater to the most conservative of the patrons. It's not just businesses that have to cater to the most conservative patrons, but in many work places like mine there is a don't offend any other employee's culture, religion, or sensibilities. Saying "fuck" at work could cause someone to be written up by the Human Resources department and constant offenses could result in getting fired. I can't afford to pick up Adam's language habits!!!

Sam Smith will be the face of a menswear fashion campaign. He also will collaborate with them in some way. Note: I inserted an extra space in the http: ht tp://www.nydailynews.com/life-style/fashion/sam-smith-designing-menswear-balenciaga-article-1.2293231 Adam is such a natural for something like this, but it has not happened. In the past it seemed that spokesperson possibilities were not offered to him because he was too polarizing. Is that still the case? Q3, do you know? Is it just that Sam Smith shot to number one, or is this a British fashion company wanting a British spokesperson, or other considerations? Although Adam has not zoomed to the top of the charts at this point in time, he seems to be fairly well known and well liked. Is that still too far under the radar for these kinds of possibilities to be offered to him? Not whining or saying Sam does not deserve this opportunity. Just wondering whether there are ways to build up to some of these opportunities even if one does not wind up top of the charts. peace&love Balenciaga is a Spanish design company and the new designer and creative director is an American, Alexander Wang. So no connection to the UK. Sam Smith is one of the most successful and famous singers and pop stars in the world. He did not shoot up to #1 -- but climbed up there relatively slowly and has stayed there (Top 10) for almost a year. The only similarities between Adam and Sam Smith are that they are both men, gay and singers -- and successful. I am sure that when Adam gets the right offer, he will take it. I cannot see him being the face of a somewhat conservative design brand like Balenciaga. (Sorry but I think there bags and shoes are boring. Very "Barneys" to me.) I do know that Adam and his team have been approached about Adam being associated with at least two different designers lines and he declined. (according to the designers) There also was a very credible rumor that he declined to be the spokesmodel for a major makeup line. I also recall that Adam once said in an interview that he has declined free apparel from designers and buys all his clothes and costumes. I think the only exceptions were the two items from the Blonds -- Elmo jacket and the claw -- but I am just guessing. My impression -- and not based on any specific information just bits I heard a couple of years ago -- is that Adam wants to be completely free to wear whatever he wants whenever he wants to wear it.>> JMHO I hope Adam develops his own designer line -- I would love an Adam Lambert jacket and boots!! >> On Adam being polarizing -- his repositioning is well underway. This is not the Adam of 2010-2011. Marketers and Brand Managers use custom research and celebrity awareness and favorability ratings (like the Q scores www.qscores.com/web/default.aspx) as decision support. Adam has been in the Performer ratings since 2009 -- and the numbers are better now but (much as I love him), I would not hire Adam to represent most brands looking at these numbers. Not because he is polarizing, but because he is not influential enough right now.
I think that bold ones make sense. If we remembered, all the clothing he wore on the red carpets, they're not from one designers. The suits can be one designer and the shirt another one, etc... etc.

Shady was used in Kia commercials in Korea, do you remember? Yes, I love that spot!! But that was not a major ad campaign which a huge ad buy. Adam's songs have been used in over 2 dozen TV commercials that I know or -- and I am sure there are more. But he has never gotten a big campaign. The closest was the Lipton Ice Tea campaign with "Lay Me Down" but that excluded North America which is the majority of Lipton's ad buy for ice tea. We got something stupid here. I want a campaign like Maroon 5's "Animals" or Lady Gaga's "Applause" -- lead single on a TV commericial with massive global ad buys. Yes, I am greedy. Q3...is this where your username came from?
