Just got my Metrosource magazine and they were nice and stuck a 2nd one in the envelope. I also received a couple more signed Album CD booklets from MyPlayDirect....because the two I already have just weren't enough. LOL. If you already ordered a bundle, they let you buy more individual items, one being the fan list autographed CD cover booklet. It's $5...then another $4.99 to ship it. LOL....that's per CD booklet. If it had been $4.99 total shipping, I would have bought more to give away with the CDs I've accumulated. MyPlayDirect is making a lot of money on shipping...and I don't imagine Adam gets $$ from that.

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 How do you know Adam wasn't offered?

They seem to have a long term strategy mapped out, with the priority right now being US radio (per SStone). They are keeping their eyes on the prize, and some things will have to wait if they don't fit the plan. Adam could be all over the globe, at this point, doing all sorts of different things. But since things are going so well right now I will be happy to give them the benefit of the doubt. And we keep getting hints of more things to come. And they keep coming. And Adam seems happy. Regarding the fashion thing - he may be too beautiful for his own good. As theosgma said, who wants to look at the suit when you can look at his eyes?!

True, something could have been offered. Let me rephrase. I am wondering how he can position himself, if he wishes to do so, so that he will be offered the kinds of opportunities that he would happily accept. Has he gotten past the "too polarizing" marketing profile that Q3 said he had previously? Do marketing people on Atop know if he has to get to the top of the charts in major markets to be in a good position to be offered the kinds of things he would probably accept, or are there other routes to take? I do not have angst about whether he does or does not get a spokesperson/collaboration situation. I suffer from a surplus of curiosity about pretty much everything. LOL peace&love

Oh this is so wonderful -- Adam is really so nice and natural! Sounded like he was ready to talk, and talk, and talk! What a nice way to start my morning. Yeah, this was so fun. Adam handled their call really well. He was great, but I actually don't know what to think of those radio DJs... I know it's all in good fun, but they just call up celebrities out of the blue like that? I mean, that could be really inconvenient, to say the least.... What if they call up somebody and they're pissed? Adam was in a mood to talk, and be funny, but what if somebody's in the middle of something and they pick up the phone and it's some radio station fooling around.... I don't know, I just wouldn't want a call like that, that's all. Anyway, Adam was great, carry on... Yes, or it could be (most likely is) all staged. Notice he seemed to know who they were, but they didn't say anything to identify themselves.....

Carpool Karaoke with Adam would be amazing. Can you imagine the two of them feeding off each other. They are both theater "brats." I've watch all the YT's as well. Here's the J. Hudson one: 7.5 million views. It would be so much fun. James's enthusiasm is one of the best parts of these episodes. You can see the celebrity loosening up because he gets so genuinely into it, and it's so true to how you behave singing along to music in a car in real life. Would love to see him and Adam being dorky together. I was wondering what he might play if they did this drive and your theater brats comment made me think they could sing snippets of Broadway tunes, and a Queen song as bamafan suggested, and then finish off with one or two of Adam's songs. But I'm not going to get my hopes up that they'll actually do Carpool Karaoke since they just did one this week. I still have my fingers crossed that they'll do some kind of comedy sketch or some other kind of singing skit. Here's more from Shoshanna: wendy hayward @xxmisswendyxx @wbr @shoshannastone @latelateshow @jkcorden @adamlambert Please say Adam will be doing #CarpoolKaraoke ???????????? Anyone? One of you must know;) shoshanna stone @shoshannastone @xxmisswendyxx of course we know, and you'll see what he's doing.... wendy hayward @xxmisswendyxx @shoshannastone That's got to be a Yes !!! )))) You wouldn't be that cruel..... shoshanna stone @shoshannastone @xxmisswendyxx it's not a yes. It's a wait and see what he's doing on the show.
