That is sad. Do you know..... were the awful comments towards Adam's fans or Adam himself? I regularly glance through the newest comments on ALN and probably was up to date as of yesterday. There were some that were offensive. But they had a much better tone than many video's comments. There were a lot of comments by Gigi fans, saying how much they love her, or had discovered this video because of her. There were some mean comments about her, but not that many. ALL videos have nasty comments--even ones with cute kitties and puppies. So I don't know what happened to make them disabled. Seems like a very unusual move for a music video. There were some, a few comments, that were very hateful comments on the video about Gigi -- and transgender hate -- no directed at Adam. Some of the comments were really trollish and I think there to bait people. I think that is why they shut off the comments. Just guessing.

There was one "fan" that persistently said, "I am only here for Gig. Hate Adam Lambert." Then was engaged by other posters. But I think it is a troll that has followed Adam around for 6 years. IMO, videos don't need a comment section at all! I read thru the comments often and they weren't that bad or that many bad ones, IMO. Most of them praised Adam and his music and most of the ones about Gigi were good as well. Many of them were from international fans. I enjoyed reading them. I am surprised and saddened that they are turned off. It's a loss, I think. My impression too was that the comment section wasn't that bad. Most comments were reasonable despite some mild opinions from various fan groups, of course. Last time I went there I noticed one or two posters who were plain rude and relentlessly and repeatedly insulting toward Gigi, but I didn't read extensively through everything either.

Hopefully, when you all are seeing homophobic and transphobic comments like those that littered the ALN video you are reporting them as hate speech. And these comments were beyond insulting, they were hate speech with a good number of bullying comments thrown in. In case you don't know how (firefox): hover your mouse over the right hand side of the offending comment, a circle with and arrow in it will appear, click, report spam or abuse appears, click, select the proper complaint and submit. Other browsers may vary but it is easy enough to google instructions for reporting. Maybe if they get reported promptly before the whole comment section is trashed it won't get to the point that comments are closed completely.

OMG!---was taking my son to basketball practice and ALN came on the radio. This was B96, CHR in Chicago. I am shocked! Adam has really broken through in Chicago this era--finally! Both Chicago Pop stations are playing it! Great news from Chicago!!! Thanks for letting us know. Makes me happy. Has anybody heard ALN in San Francisco yet? Star and Alice have already added it.
