I found this comment by a user called Carlton:

I have come to really respect the guy. I didn't at first. I thought him to be shallow but I now see he's anything but shallow. I do think a lot of PD's are purposely not playing him on the radio. Some have outright admitted it. Others have played coy. The ones who have outright admitted it (one from DC) has said it's because he thinks his listeners will get mad (though they seem not to care about Chris Brown). Another from Alabama said he'd never play his music because he is gay. They admit to it. They best we can do as a community is support our own. But I don't even see that happening. Instead I see people like Perez Hilton taking swipes at Lambert every chance he can because he holds a personal grudge. Frankly, I find the whole thing sad.

Okay, I'm new to the fandom, and I already knew he's not played on the radio for some reason, but... Is that really the reason why he isn't played?

Eh, I just think tit flashing at a concert is uncool, I kind of would lump it in with throwing panties on stage. However, in the context of "Naked Love," and Adam's banter I'll give it a pass

It's absurd that in today's society anyone could think its acceptable to tell others who to marry.

I don't usually share my Adam obsession on Facebook. I'm the only one of my friends and family who appreciates Adam. But I posted this video. It is too important not to. If any video deserves to go viral, it is this one.

Agree that this video should go viral. I can't believe it's so hard to fight for marriage equality. In my mind, it's so simple. I wish I could vote. I love Adam's speech, or banter if you want to call it, because he could make it sound as simple as it should be. He also wanted his fans to spread the words.

I think it is because he is off American Idol and they just don't take him seriously. And not just Adam---everyone not named Kelly or Carrie is having a problem with radio right now.

What a fantastic show last night. He's so much fun. Whenever he has a show or appearance I think it will be my fix but really it just makes me want to see him more, more, more. Thank you Vistadiva for the live stream!
I love the pics of him meeting the fans after the show. Oh and I think his hair looks different too. I love it. I'm really looking forward to the other stuff this week and hopefully there will be more tv appearances to come!

No.

Plenty of PDs selected WWFM and IIHY to be added to their playlists, and in some of the most conservative sections of the country. The problems with radio play are for multiple reasons and have been discussed a million times in the numbers thread!

I'm bummed ,Asheville doesn't get Fox 8, I was really looking forward to watching Adam On Rove La

this Sunday. I'm so hoping someone will download the entire program.

Maybe youtube will have it,but they don't put it up the same

day usually :-/

*my impressions of the concert

(it's a quickie, i've guests coming)


~ remember basing all kinds of conclusions on how happy Adam seemed in some of his previous concerts? Lol, he's totally messing with our logics here, he's still so goddamn happy... I'd go on a limb and say with no specific reason - with the two major ones being his love and his music, 'cause both are EPIC. Everything else is of lesser importance. It's a sum of his life's greatness.


~ from Kickin In to Cuckoo last night - his music is so f*cking good, he is literally reaching the state of karma performing it and me listening to it. His songs are Adam incarnate - his flair, his mojo, his thing... Mary, I can smell him on his songs...


~ the only other man I've ever seen wearing short pants like that was the great MJ - am I mistaken or it was a little winky-wink to the king? So, that fact made me #team ankles last night, and while we're on that line, #team wrists ( all his joints are irresistible to me...) . Though, I HAVE to say, if it was any more possible, his particularly slender frame and thin fabric of the pants accentuated the glambulge wonderfully. .



~ his funny, lascivious banter made the experience beyond pleasurable for me - he is presenting the whole package flawlessly: the wit, the charm, the humour wonderfully complement the songs' lyrics and music. He gives me the whole of him and it leaves nothing else for me to do but give the whole of me in return.

~ I need to repeat this - I cannot imagine ANY other music encapturing or presenting Adam in a better way... sorry all ye Queenberts or the ones thinking it's not happened yet.... my vision of Adam was on full display last night

ETA: Regarding radio in the US, yes, unfortunately some radio stations will still not play Adam's music because he is gay BUT it is rare outside of Christian stations.

Adam broke through with WWFM. That was the first song widely played on US radio by an opening gay American artist. But since the major labels would not sign gay artists, it was a Catch 22 because generally radio stations did not play indie artist.

The only real exception on US Pop Radio/Top 40 before 2009-2010 was Elton John.

This is not a problem for Adam now. His music has been played on almost every CHR/Top 40/Pop, Hot AC and AC station in the US.

I was truly worried in 2009 that Adam would not get airplay.

NOW what he needs is to have a Dance-Pop hit with Trespassing. That would be groundbreaking. A hit song about being gay by a gay artist getting massive airplay on US stations. And it is possible.

If Trespassing does not get airplay, it will not be because Adam is gay, it will be because the song does not breakthrough to mainstream radio listeners. THAT IS PROGRESS.
