BUT...I really am out of it now. One thing I don't do is tweet Adam with advice--ever. Well, maybe a suggestion or two--like ZeusInAThong should actually WEAR a thong on tour... JUST KIDDING! Never.tweet.him.advice. Too many other people to guide him, he doesn't need me. Hell, I'm not even sure that iTunes link I included at the end of above tweet is correct! ::)  omg, I just did that and when I read your post I deleted the tweet asap! This stanning job is HARD, lol But it's worth every second of it... just take a look at Gelly's Ode to Adam's legzzzzzzzzz:) Pure poetry! ZeusInAThong, actually wearing a thong, perched on the improvised Mount Olympus giving us a GOOD look:)[/quote] THEN I SAID THIS ===>oh, aleksandra, I didn't mean YOU couldn't tweet him...my sentence should have read I.never.tweet.him.advice. Didn't mean for it to sound like a directive. The longer I live, the less certain I am about advising others, as I find I know less and less for certain. Oops, getting philosophical lol. I truly do not judge what other fans do. If it feels right for you to tweet him about @itunesmusic, do it, I say! I know nothing. |

Are you ladies talking about Adam going to BM this year? It's sure not the reason we're going, BUT after his incredibly hectic schedule up to that point this year, I THINK HE'LL NEED A BREAK!  PLUS, if the EARTH HARP is back at the temple, maybe THAT will inspire his Trespassing Tour ideas? OMG. I have to do RL. And I'm sucked into the Atop vortex again!!! :-/ ;D No sweetie, we were talking about "magic" .... 8-) or something else. Hell yes to the Earth Harp. Although Stern might not approve of the method of currency. ::)  Ohhhhhhhhhhhhh...I get it...MAGIC! ;D |

I say this in NO disrespect to you, but....... FUCK 'EM!!!!!!!!  The Idol World =/= The Real World Let the FOOs sit over in a corner and spin their silly web of excuses to make themselves feel better! ITA! Who cares about the idol buble, they will just make any excuse to undermine Adam's achievement. This HDD & Billboard article were already has its thread in the other site and they already made some excuse... LOL. So I say.. number 1 is number one. Even if he doesn't make the #1, he is still in the top 3. I'm happy that they have to make excuses ;D |

Ha - my husband wondered why it took me two hours to run to the grocery for a couple of items. 'Cause I drove around for an hour or so listening to a new cd ::) And I discovered the base on my car stereo is really good - upped the level and the whole car vibrated. Nothing but net!

I often hear that bass beat coming from kids' cars and think, "Hope they aren't ruining their hearing, play that music (usually rap, hip hop)." Now I'm thinking *they* will be wondering what that old woman is playing in her car that they can hear the beat! ;D ;D I'm actually laughing out loud thinking about this! |

This is at the bottom of their review.. sounds pretty good. CHECK THIS TRACK OUT: “Underneath” is another one of those trademark Adam Lambert performance pieces, drenched in emotion and vocal gymnastics that would be perfectly suited to the Broadway stage. But Lambert has the talent to pull it off: Simply put, this guy probably has the best voice of any pop star working today Even on less-than-stellar material, his soaring voice that then swoops down to a whisper can take your breath away.. |

shirleyhalperin @shirleyhalperin '@adamlambert week on @thr! Q&A w/Adam on Music Biz Mistakes, Triumphs + One 'Ballsy' Request for Exec Producer Credit www.hollywoodreporter.com//idol-worship/adam-lambert-trespassing-music-business-exec-producer-325726Adam Lambert on Music Biz Mistakes, Triumphs and One 'Ballsy' Request for Exec Producer Credit (Q&A)As his second album "Trespassing" is released this week, the "American Idol" season 8 runner-up opens up to THR about music industry lessons he learned the hard way. The Hollywood Reporter: Your first album was hard to categorize in terms of genre, and since then, music has become very urban- and dance-heavy. Did that factor into your approach as you worked on Trespassing? Adam Lambert: I actually find it a little irritating how everyone has to classify everything. I don't really get why we do that so much because if you like a song, you like a song. I wanted to make something that was like pure pop. But pop is everything, so what does that mean? I think that on the last album and coming out of Idol, I had a little bit of pressure that I put on myself and maybe from some of my fanbase to have this classic rock fame. There's still a lot of that energy on that album and there's still a lot of that sensibility and spirit, but I think the genre is less exploited. THR: You also record for a company, RCA Records, that’s fixated on Top 40 success… Lambert: It's been an interesting experience. And I think going into it the first time, I didn't really understand the business of it much at all. Maybe as a consumer, I did, but not as much as I do now from the inside out. And it definitely does inform you and teach you things. First and foremost, I wanted to write music this time. I wanted to write from my perspective, figure out what I wanted to say and if it fit on the album and the executives liked it, then great, but it came more from me first this time. It's been really cool too, because, yes, it is a business, but I've been working with incredible A&R who's incredible who’s into the sonic sophistication that I think the album has, and my new management [Direct Management Group] has been really fantastic. So I think I have all the necessary tools to kind of be able to accomplish what I wanted to accomplish this time. more |

Don't forget to send some CD's off the week to the kids at 1n10 and the teens at Texas Youth. Both now have Amazon wish lists and both wish for many copies of Trespassing. They use them for grab bags, door prizes and incentatives for teens. Both have Glamberts who volunteer their time to help out. Thank you so much for the reminder, its karma. Here is the link (from Texas) that makes our heart sing (along with all of our Adam euphoria) . These are the CDs that arrived there today. twitter.com/#!/RadarEcho/status/202903332187148288/photo/1 I just spoke with the staff at 1n10 and they received about 20 CD's today - the person I spoke with had tears in their voice. You know, we could work on doing this for every youth in the world...just sayin'. |
