I LOVE THIS!!! “I had the ’N Sync album, but I wasn’t into the Backstreet Boys,” says Adam Lambert, 30, the American Idol runner-up whose second album, Trespassing, was the No. 1 record in North America earlier this spring. Here, the pop star gives the Post’s Ben Kaplan his autobiography through singles — a jukebox of how a child of the ’90s finally arrived at his own sound.Truckin’, Grateful Dead, 1970 “My dad was a Deadhead and my mom was into the Stones. Things like Bob Marley, Zeppelin and Credence Clearwater Revival were always playing. I guess I thought it was cool. I didn’t know any better.” Hold On, Wilson Phillips, 1990 “The cornerstone of my first collection of CDs. There was four of them — Emotions by Mariah Carey, Michael Jackson and Madonna. I appreciated the dance stuff and the drama of Mariah Carey’s vocal. I don’t know where the Wilson Phillips love came from, usually I was more on the urban kick.” Opposites Attract, Paula Abdul, 1991 “I was into ’90s dance stuff, and at this point I was watching MTV, seeing music videos and getting my head wrapped around tying the visual with the music. Paula had that Opposites Attract video with the cartoon cat and us kids we’re all like, ‘What is that?’ She got a lot of kids with that.” You’re a Good Man, Charlie Brown, written 1967; performed by Lambert, 1991 “When I started dressing up in a hat and suit jacket and listening to Thriller, my parents got me into theatre. We did You’re a Good Man, Charlie Brown and I played Linus. It was stressful. There were a handful of kids all in the same role and you had to compete because at the end of rehearsal, they ranked you: If you had the best performance, you got Friday night. Saturday night went to the second best. In a way, it was f–ked up, but it planted a seed. I wanted it badly — that fight stuck with me ever since.” Black Hole Sun, Soundgarden, 1994 “I liked alternative. I had Nirvana, I had Pearl Jam and my brother and I would borrow that black album by Metallica back and forth. Prodigy, though, that was really cool, the really hard-edged techno, but there was something about Soundgarden and Chris Cornell, the attitude. I loved trying to sing that way.” Angels, Robbie Williams, 1997 “I started gravitating more to European and British stuff and when I heard Robbie, I dug the sensibility. He didn’t give a f–k. At that point, I liked a lot of female artists, but it was nice to see a male artist go there. I always thought Robbie was cool.” Immigrant Song, Led Zeppelin, released, 1970; an influence on Lambert in 2001 “I was smoking weed for the first time and you know how weed is with music. It correlates with this kind of music quite nicely.” more |

People, please remember that when bringing articles over here that you should not bring the whole article. Only bring 2 or 3 paragraphs and provide a link to the article. This is what caused PF problems and eventually caused it to close.

Good morning! Drive by- post I MET ADAM!!!! YIPEEE!!!!! I was at my hotel and I was waiting for the first webchat to happen and when I saw it was not going to happen I left and I went to the tube with my daughter to go outside the Capital offices and wait for him although it was still a bit early. We got outside the tube at 6.45 and we were not in a rush, but then as we were approaching Capital offices we saw a lot of people from a distance and I saw his head above all the people lol and I said to my daughter "RUN IT'S HIM" !!! For the first time he was early lol!! And we got there and he was taking pictures with everyone and signing autographs and I kept staring like a fool lol and then my daughter pushed me and told me "go for it" because Dana kept saying "let's go inside' but he didn't leave he wanted to please everybody and he signed my booklet and I got a picture with him!!!!!! Awww he was so beautiful and not skinny, the impression I got in general is "powerful presence" . And then we waited until he came out after the chat and my daughter got a picture with him too and he signed her my Rolling Stone mag!!! I AM SO HAPPY, IT IS SURREAL THAT I MET HIM!!! I NEVER THOUGHT IT WOULD HAPPEN!!   Here are the autographs i1125.photobucket.com/albums/l597/gelly414/AT/P7100024.jpgi1125.photobucket.com/albums/l597/gelly414/AT/P7100026.jpgAnd the picture with my daughter i1125.photobucket.com/albums/l597/gelly414/AT/AxZMPiVCIAMSR3_.jpgGOING SHOPPING NOW!!!

I guess I've always wondered why everyone thinks Shoshana has done such a great job -- cuz she's on twitter? She's always been a tease and, frankly, her tweet yesterday about Glamberts "doing their job" pissed me off. No, Shoshana, do your job and find NEW fans for Adam -- his Glamberts are already on board. Isn't she the one that gets him so many interviews, etc. in the UK? Yep, she's the one.....it's her job  |

This. I often take a peek out of curiosity and then vow never to read comments again. It's so disheartening. I have to keep reminding myself that the poison inside these people is eating away at them and doesn't have to eat away at me unless I let it.A few months ago, I was interested enough in this topic to start researching it -- hate comments and what motivates them. I wrote a blog on ALFC and have posted it just now in "Adam Musings" in case anyone is interested in the topic. www.adamtopia.com/index.cgi?action=display&board=inspired&thread=61&page=3Actually, I found enough interesting stuff for about three blogs, but I never wrote the next two because it was so depressing to think about it. I'm always sorry when I read comments on ANY article, not just ones about Adam.
Very good analysis of the situation, juniemoon! I wish everyone on the internet would ask themselves the questions you posed. We're all entitled to our opinions, but anonymity shouldn't make us toss aside our civility. |
