Okay....here's my two cents on the very puzzling promo .... RCA is a business, so when they released BTIKM early, the fans did get a Christmas present, but that was not the underlying reason for the early release. If we don't see something big from Adam ASAP, then I'm going with the idea that RCA is testing the waters with fans and social media. Adam is recognized as being effective on social media stuff, so it makes sense to me that RCA would like to see what results they would get with his music....he's a good choice for this type of research. But it is very puzzling as so many have said here. When January - March comes, regular promo will ensue like all other artists. I do expect high-profile stuff, cos I believe RCA is behind Adam 100%. And, of course, I'm hoping for some other out-of-the-box promo for him as well....just cos he's AFL and it fits his MO. Have a taste of my naivete. I actually thought that BTIKM was released December because the lyrics go " Cold as ice And more bitter than a December Winter night..." :  : : |

i trained and worked as an artificial insemenator with the scottish milk marketing board ,ha many years ago ,i did this work for 5 years ,the semen was kept it tanks of liquid nitrogen ,in straws made of plastic ,we would take out the straw and put it in our teeth so it would thaw with our breath whilst we prepared the gun ,some of the older semen that had been stored a while ,usually for specialist breeders would be in a wider straw ,when held between the teeth they would sometimes split,giving us a rather nasty mouthfull The dad of a friend of my son's earned his Ph.D. in this field! So, for many years, we were treated to many lengthy discussions related to these "procedures" and the biology of it all - I think his area of focus was sheep :-) I forgot how we got on this topic, but fairly certain it is not the subject of one of Adam's new singles. |

Izla Zandz (@izla_zandz) Posted Tuesday 27th December 2011 from Twitlonger Message to the "I'm disappointed" or "Adams not god" brigade: Picture this: a beautiful, happy, bride walks down the aisle, feeling tremulous and excited, knowing all eyes are upon her, and some fucker in the third row from the front pipes up "I'm really disappointed in her frock. I didn't expect her to wear something like that. Looks awful. She looks like a sack of potatoes! " Or this: it is opening night for a young artist'ts exhibition. It's new work and he is nervous but excited about showing it to the public. He is prepared for criticism, and wouldn't be an artist if he wasn't, but it still comes as a bit of a shock when some disgruntled punter says loudly (ensuring the whole gallery can hear) "This work is so disappointing. I expected better from this artist. This is shit." The problem in those 2 scenarios isn't that people have opinions. We all have them and are entitled to express them ( as opinionated people are fond of pointing out). No, the problem is to do with context, with where and when you express them. Do the public gatherings in either of the situations I described above need to know your opinions? Are you hoping that the wedding will be stopped, or the gallery doors closed, so that your opinion can be examined, discussed, validated and most importantly - find like minded support? It's fine not to like something an artist makes. But do you need to tell him, or announce your dislike on his fan site? Why would you do that? Do you want an apology? Do you want him to admit that he was wrong and you were right and the song is shit and he should have released a different song? Do you want people to argue with you or agree with you? Why? If you want to seriously critique Adam's work go for it! Blog about it! Go to music sites where music is is discussed and critiqued and give it a blast! But shut the fuck up on his fan site. And don't tweet your disappointment directly to him. Or find someone who makes the music you prefer to listen to and listen to them! Lastly, if you don't believe Adam Lambert is god well I pity you. He clearly is. Look at his fucking hair! That's why he and Brian May got on real good. Those dudes have power, and it ain't the human variety. tl.gd/evo93j · Reply ***
Aleksandrakv, if this is something that is just being brought over from Twitter, I'd put a more definitive header / explanation at the top of the post, because it looks a bit too much like your opinion otherwise.
-HSMThis is a beautiful text from Izla_Zandz which she posted on Twitter a few minutes ago and I wanted to share it. I thought it was obvious, but... Should I delete it? And about putting more definitive headers: still haven't learnt to do that:) But I'm a fast learner, just you wait:) |

Thanks guys for the information on Sauli's sisters. I didn't realize he had three sisters! He has a pretty good size family.

I believe so, one is twin and the other is older. Sauli was born in Hyvinkää, Finland, and lives in Helsinki. Family includes a father Osmo, Virpi mother, twin sister, Sara, and two older sister, Salla, and Saana. Sauli cites the closest his feel his twin sister and tells his father as a role model, which admires. Thanks, aleksandra, for the explanation, I deleted my post, 'cause I was way off. :-/ |
