craazy, I meant no disrespect for what Adam was doing. When I asked what was he doing, I meant stuff that pays. And I suppose TV gigs like Project Runway do pay, and maybe even handsomely. Do magazines pay though?

www.forbes.com/sites/zackomalleygreenburg/2013/01/30/top-earning-american-idols-2012/For a handful of artists, a higher position on next year’s list is all but guaranteed. Adam Lambert toured his way to $6 million in earnings in 2011 and this year falls to No. 7 with $1.5 million after taking time off to record Trespassing. The new album was released after the end of our scoring period, but debuted at No. 1 on the Billboard charts with 78,000 copies sold its first week.
...So this time frame doesn't include the album sales, doesn't include Queen, doesn't include anything actually. What was Adam doing May 2011 - May 2012 beside being in the studio writing and recording? How the hell did he earn 1.5 mill lol? exactly. So, great, great news overall!!! (sorry, mys*&@^#r):  another statement from the FORBES article that grabbed my attention is this:
"Now six years removed from her Idol victory, Sparks doesn’t have to worry about handing a chunk of her earnings back to the show that launched her. More recent winners must turn over somewhere in the neighborhood of half of their income to Idol—before paying any remaining agents, managers and attorneys, not to mention Uncle Sam.For McCreery, that probably means pocketing only about one-fifth of his $4 million payday."
So, am I correct in my assumption that "parting ways" with 19R actually means that Adam ALSO doesn’t have to worry about handing a chunk of his earnings back to AI? YES!!! You are absolutely correct!! "LiberationDay" indeeed!!$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$ |

Re the Forbes figures I might suggest some smaller performances in addition to what is mentioned.
TV shows etc might pay just a little but he performed in Leno, Ellen and NewNowNext. Also Kimmel with several songs. When he is a guest and just talking he might get only costs + a nominal fee. He also had a gig at a conference (ski resort in USA) and Jezebel which I think were 'bigger' than Austria, Sweden and London (the last two, and maybe Austria too, sound like a radio promo to me). Certainly Moscow, Montreal and Shanghai account for the most part of the earnings. Oh, and then there is his advance for making TP which might not be in the figure. And of course, he possibly sees only about 20% of that income. But he is still doing ok - and much better after May 2012.

What was Adam doing May 2011 - May 2012 beside being in the studio writing and recording? How the hell did he earn 1.5 mill lol? The Idols have said this estimate is not very accurate. Carrie and Kelly has said that for years. This period includes the second half of the advance for Trespassing. It includes royalties for FYE albums, tracks and other items sold in May 2011-May 2012 and it includes just a few concerts. Since international sales royalties take a long time to process, I think a lot of this is estimated royalties. Am I missing any concerts during this people that were not radio promos? 2011 May 28: Concert. Moscow, Russia. Maxidrom Festival, Toshino AirfieldJuly 29: Concert. Sainte-Agathe-des-Monts, Quebec. St. Agathe en Feux Festival.
2012
March 02: Benefit Concert. Vail, Colorado.
There are a lot of radio promotions where expenses and band would be paid, but mostly not Adam. But he got paid for some of these concerts.

In addition to IFPI's 2011 reports which quoted by Q3 already, here are a few things about Chinese music industry and Trespassing release in China that I'd like to share:
a) China is not a market for music sales due to piracy, but a lucrative one for concerts. Only the most popular Chinese Pop stars can manage a feat of a few tens of thousands of CD sales nationally, so the reality is IF Trespassing could sell over 10k that would be a big success as far as CD sales go.
b) The Chinese singers do not make their fortune on CD sales or touring, but mostly on corporate gigs, commercials, endorsements and appearances, which Adam has benefited some already in the same system from his China fame: The Hennessy Artistry and The Mercedes-Benz event, etc.
c) There're currently many self-produced versions of Adam's music from Idol days to Trespassing on the Chinese market and they're selling, and people think they're getting the real deal ('cuz despite the rampant piracy in China, many folks still would like to buy the authentic products).
d) The official release won't be the US import but the domestic version with approved contents by the Chinese Cultural Bureau. "For Your Entertainment" was released in China on Jan 14, 2011 and "Fever" didn't make it up there. All foreign music needs to be "sanitized" and blessed by the Cultural Bureau before their official release in Mainland China. It would be interesting to see what song(s) will be cut or slightly modified.
e) The Chinese Glamberts will undoubtedly support Adam with their wallets like they've always, although lots of them already own his albums (thru Adamofficial or US amazon,etc.). I know a few of my Chinese twitter(weibo) followers are traveling to see Adam in all the Asia tour cities, lucky girls!
f) And, Q3, Celine Dion just snatched possibly the biggest promo spot on Chinese national TV --- The 2013 Annual Chinese New Year Gala! This is THE SHOW that will truly be watched by billions of Chinese where some of the highest central government officials will be attending. The current First Lady, who in fact still is a very popular folk singer in China, used to perform on that show for many years. Celine was as huge as the movie Titanic in China way back and is still a very well-known name, and reportedly, she'll be singing "My Heart Will Go On" and also duet with another hugely popular Chinese folk singer in Chinese!
