I like the sound of "The Great Adam Lambert". Adam's relationship with Monte goes back years and actually it was Monte who invited Adam to be lead singer in his band (Madonna's touring band) and put together the indie record deal with Marcus Welsford. After Idol, the table were turned. Adam clearly respects Monte but treats him like an employee, not a friend. Even though Adam works with a lot of friends, he seems to know when to move on. And there are a ton of musicians just waiting for a tour. Was it ever figured out what Monte's and his wife's twitter blowup was about that one night? I still think it was over Monte NOT working on Adam's new album in one way or the other-not over live performances! Nope, never figured out, and that is the best theory, imo. I must say that I found the whole ugly exchange oddly reassuring, lol. Not that I ever really doubted, but if it was indeed about Monte (and his wife's) unmet expectations about Monte's contributions to the album, then it proved to me that Adam would never sacrifice his vision for sentiment. We all know Adam is a good friend, but I like that he is also a savvy businessperson and won't compromise on quality. If Monte submitted material, I'm sure Adam assessed it just as he would any other potential material, and I'm glad he feels secure enough in himself to know what works and what doesn't, without being afraid to hurt feelings. Anyone in the music biz should understand that.

I took Matt G's tweet to convey that something is getting on his nerves – could be fans, family, people in the music industry, who knows. I don't perceive it as sarcastic at all towards Adam. He was quoting him and he used "The Great Adam Lambert." He didn't need to do that. I took that as genuine respect. That's the way I took it SusieFierce. Not sarcastic at all. Respect to Adam. But I was just wondering who- what made him say this since I don't follow him. Probably too much pressure from fans, just like in Adam's case sometimes. IDK.

Matt was complimenting Adam.....and using the quote in a similar way to how Adam used it in the first place. But I never recall any Adam fans being this "entitled" to Adam. A bit OT, this is what originated the Matt tweet --- On Monday 4th July 2011, @muddster88 said:
@immattgiraud Ya know Matt I'm not going to apoligize and/or feel guilty for posting what I did to you for SEVERAL reasons.. First of all, I and all of your other DIEHARD fans HAVE supported AND encouraged you faithfully and dilgently for TWO yrs and you don't even freakin care enough to put out a damn "EP" or CD FOR YOUR FANS in return after 2 YEARS since being on idol!! Matt that is what musicians and artists do to promote themselves! You haven't tweeted anything to ALL your fans over the US what your near future plans are for your career or where your at with anything in your head?? You only tweet ur personal daily activites which IS great but you have put NO music out! Why even go on Idol if u wanted to only STILL just be a MI performer but on a lil higher scale? There are tons of idols (even ones AFTER your season) that have already put out CDs or even lil EPs. Being on Annas record was nice but its NOT YOURS..being on Brickmans was great but NOT yours! Its time for YOUR OWN. How can your fans help support you Matt when your happy & content to do only MI shows/private shows nor put out your music on a CD!? You have written beauifullll and amazing songs but do NOTHING with them ??!! Oh wait you perform them at concerts in MI only! You have fans that ask you constantly on twitter (which you also constantly ignore & never respond to) when and if you are ever, ever going to leave MI and play other shows so they can also see you!? All your fans and even long time IDOL bloggers (like Slezak) had very very high hopes for you post idol but Matt you have done nothing to advance or promote yourself outside of entertaining michigan ppl! Obviously I'm going to be blocked AND hated by u now but I'm just brave enough to speak the truth to you Matt (its time) You need to start creepin your fans twitter pages and see that everyone is SAYING the SAME THINGS I am..Most recently I saw someone say ur just "lost" Are u lost?? Or iS this exactly where you want to be??? (A MI act only) it sure seems that way..Matt alot ur fans are just sad, confused, hurt and frustrated because we want SO much for you but we can't do it alone! Lastly it was NOT cool that once again we hear about another upcoming concert of yours from someone other then YOU first! Tre announced it this time. :( I'm sorry Matt I love ur singing and ALL ur original songs are amazing but like I said in my FIRST tweet I'm honestly seriously heartbroken over what seems like "what could have/should have been" for you at this point. I truly DO wish u the best Matt and believe it or not will STILL buy your music if and when u puut it out and I know I will LOVE it!

Just popping in to wish those that celebrate a happy 4th. Thought I do some catching up here but it doesn't look like its gonna happen.
I'm on my way out the door to actually leave Manhattan! A friend wants to go to Coney Island to walk the boardwalk and get a hotdog so we are taking the subway to Bklyn. It's a long ride, Coney Is is at the end of the line. I'm sure we'll chat on the way out but the ride back. Not gonna be fun. Jersey is closer.

I truly DO wish u the best Matt and believe it or not will STILL buy your music if and when u puut it out and I know I will LOVE it! Well, solves THAT mystery! Wow, I can imagine why Adam's quote would be one of the first things that comes to mind. ETA: On second read, I have to say that was rather gutsy of her. I have NO idea how much of it is true or just one fan's interpretation. I don't follow Matt, but always thought he was a likeable, determined guy and a talented musician. I can't imagine he's not busting his ass to do what he can to further his career. And if he's been hitting brick walls, to have a fan stomp on your Achilles heel has to hurt for Matt. Then again, if fans have invested two years supporting him and truly believe he is not making any real attempt to break though, I can understand their frustration. Probably not the best way to go about it though.

Anyone in the music biz should understand that. I think that the best theory is that it had to do with material for Adam's album -- and getting a track on Adam's album would mean a bit of money to Monte and Lisa. But there is no evidence what happened and it really is between Monte and Adam. And IMO Lisa should have left it off Twitter.

I'm wasting some time this morning uploading some of the GNT vids I took. Since Q3 is being a bit flexible with what is in the thread today, I am going to post the link. Besides I enjoy Adam's vocal fireworks

I like Matt but he does not have the drive or talent to be a big star. JMHO. But he really has some nasty, angry fans.
I feel lucky that I ended up falling for Adam -- never rarely gets boring and he keeps putting out new stuff.
My heart really goes out to the core Cook fans who have been waiting for 3 years for a new album, and who have watched every collaboration, know the smallest detail of the instrumentation, have speadsheets of ever chart position and sale....
It has taught me NOT to let me fandom overcome my good sense. Adam will do fine and he does not need to rule the universe.
And I really do not want him to be Lord Gaga!!
ETA: Opppps -- gotta check the pig!!
