@q3 ...fair point on Bieber... I also fully understand when people take personality and behavior into account with an artist...I don't stan for someone simply for talent alone...there's a reason I wear a Adam Lambert t-shirt and not a Justin Bieber one (at least not yet *lol*) I guess this is a spongy topic that could go into a very extensive discussion... ...to each their own light and love It takes a lot for me to be a fan -- I have only done it once for one artist Adam -- and I don't even wear Adam t-shirts. And ITA about Adam -- there is more there than just a gorgeous man with an extraordinary voice, charm, wit, and a bit of snark, he also seems to have an extraordinary heart. But I can also separate personal behavior from an evaluation of music as artwork. Justin Bieber's latest album is pretty good and he is talented. I just don't think he vocal performance on the nominated song was exceptional. I can think of several other recorded pop performances from 2016 that I think are stronger. This seems like a vote for popularity vs. a vote for what is best. This has been a problem of the Grammys for decades. Nothing new.

No, they did not. I paid with CC but called my CC company 1st so they would not block the foriegn transaction. OK, thanks. Good idea to call the CC company.

Nothing new. ...I've taken a liking of a couple people and personality and a good heart have always been a input... I think with all of us here there's more to us following Adam to this extend then just the looks and the voice...as you've said the personality and the good heart... ...fan is very hazy term, where do you start, where do you draw the line? And there there are many things you could take into account...environmental issues for instance... yes you're point on Biebers Grammy nom is very valid...although I might add that that performance of Kelly Clarkson isn't popular because of her vocals from a strictly technical point of view...but of the emotions of that performance...(which of course is a big part of vocals) ...also I just realized that if I were to pledge for understanding for Bieber because of how his life has been and is, one could bid for understanding for people doing worse because of their upbringing and then it would become VERY dangerous...

What is the possibility that the QAL Japan package will be made available here this summer? And if so would they change the format to make it compatible with systems here?
