Adam Lambert: American singer-songwriter and stage actor (Wikipedia). Gravitas: high seriousness, as in a person's bearing or in the treatment of a subject (Merriam Webster). Examples of GRAVITAS The new leader has an air of gravitas that commands respect. An actor who lacks the gravitas for dramatic roles. Sheep: a person who is too easily influenced or led. The "I love Adam" brigade that's invaded recently is cracking me up. Using Purple Haze as an example of his "talent" is priceless." If Jimi Hendrix were alive, he'd be on death row as he'd murder AL for murdering Purple Haze. He's a lightweight at absolute best, a lovely voice but a horrible interpreter. He can memorize the notes, and sing the notes, but he can't make them sing. There may be less than a handful of people in the rock world who have a better voice/technique (questionable as his trill is uncoached and annoying) than Adam Lambert. There are thousands of better singers than him. How his fans don't see that is baffling/concerning to me. |

Adam is still a far more talented singer than Justin Bieber or some of the top 40 acts whose idea of "epic" is a cliched overuse of whoa-whoa choruses. |

But if you are talking about me, sometimes I post the videos ie. Purple Haze, to show how over the top Adam is. And I LOVE that about him. He has a great voice. But more than that, he is REALLY fun to watch live. For me anyway. |

Now the thing that should have had Jimi really rolling over in his grave was The Cure covering Purple Haze and just about turning it into a rap song.......... I think The Cure have some decent songs, from what little I have heard of them (Pictures of You and Just Like Heaven...).......but that was atrocious.......... I am kinda suprised by the sheer vehemence of the Adam haters here......... |

The thing that gets me is that Brian and Roger are utterly convinced that they are honouring Freddie and the band's work by doing all of this. I dug the Paul Rodgers thing because there was a combined history of greatness there but when the ALBUM failed it told me that there was absolutely no way that Brian and Roger can collaborate successfully under the Queen banner without resorting to cliche and cheese. |
FreddieCat 25.03.2014 11:22 |
I think all opinions here are quite frankly right. To some, Adam does sound like a goat, or as my brother would say, a sick hog in a hailstorm. To others, he sounds just as powerful as in rocker ever could. Brian, Roger and Adam are a team which felt good to them in Las Vegas. They will then take that "synergy" on the road for what will probably be this last tour for B&R. I am cheering for their success. Here's to good health and strength for Brian AND Roger and Adam before, during and after this tour! |

I wonder what Adam thinks of it all. He comes across as a very decent guy in his interviews and such. I do not think he comes even close to Freddie as a frontman for Queen, but again, that is just my opinion about their music. Brian, Roger and AL put on a fairly decent and entertaining show, but that is about it. Nothing at all like Queen with Freddie. But again, as I said, it is just music.

Many well-known artists (actors and singers) have appeared throughout the years on Glee. I recently saw an old episode of the show with Idina Menzel playing Lea Michele's mother. Gwyneth Paltrow and Kristin Chenoweth have been guests as well as Neil Patrick Harris and many others, all singing cover songs. I think Adam is in good company with the caliber of guests who have appeared on that show. The untimely and sad death of Cory Monteith has been an unexpected blow to the show, but they have carried on very bravely and Adam has provided some exciting and enjoyable moments for them and is highly regarded by the other members of the cast. Lea has had her wish to sing with him fulfilled, just recently, and it will be interesting to see how the show is transformed in its sixth and last season as it leaves its high school location behind. Adam has also appeared on "Pretty Little Liars" singing his own music--"Cuckoo" and as a host of the VH-1 Divas show. He has proven to be quite versatile in what he has pursued. A movie role in a musical would be fantastic. Okay, PR over for the moment. I get very positive feedback from people when I wear my Adam t-shirts to the grocery store! They all say, "oh I love him, too!" I love that old song, "You've got to accentuate the positive, Eliminate the negative, Latch on to the affirmative, Don't mess with Mister In-Between!" Adam is an amazingly positive person despite some of the criticism he gets, and has been a positive role model for many. That's why his fans are always hopeful and happy for him when something positive happens for him! If that is PR or being a spokesperson, so what? It's all good and happy fun! Here's the promo for the last Glee show that Adam will be in this season on Tuesday, April 1st: link From a recent article about Glee: "It's been reported that this week will see American Idol star Adam finishing with the hit Fox musical drama, which we're pretty gutted about we have to admit. He's been a brilliant addition to the cast this year." |

Adam has gotten rave reviews from the media for his role on this show, regardless of the declining state of the show itself. I'll bet you he shows up on another of RM's shows or elsewhere in the not too distant future (probably after his 3rd album drops). 2. Glee is a television show about people singing covers, so yeah, of course I feel fantastic about it. I don't have the obsession you have with actors covering songs on a tv show, nor with artists covering songs in their own concerts. It's about as normal as it can be for everyone. 3. I hope Queen puts out new material with Freddie, too. Until then, I'm thrilled that Brian and Roger have chosen Adam as their frontman for this tour. It's a real honor that such legendary artists hold him and his talent in such high regard.1. Can you picture Sting and the rest of the people in your post on Glee? I can't. 2. I've watched most shows of Glee recently, it used to be good, but not so much anymore without Finn IMO. 3. I'm not obsessed, surely you can tell the difference between discussing and obsession on any topic. 4. There you go speaking like a spokesperson again. 5. I know Queen is legendary. Brian and Roger sing AL's praises, does not mean I have to think he is a good fit for them. 2. I don't care what you think of Glee and Finn. I don't care that Glee is going downhill. All I care about is that Adam has been lauded by RM and the media for his role, has gotten a good paycheck out of it, and plenty of exposure to both a great demographic of viewers and a whole bunch of other producers of movies and tv. His mgmt. says he now has a lot of offers on the table - and yup, that's what I care about. I hope he takes whichever ones he wants, and discards what he doesn't want - as I'm sure he'll do, since he appears to be a business savvy and self-aware human being. 3. I do recognize the difference between obsession and simple discussion. Clearly you're obsessed, because anyone tuned into the entertainment industry would know that virtually all artists do covers - including Queen. You seem to think it's an extremely strange thing and can't seem to get past it. To me that's obsession. 4. I'm a fan of Adam and his talent, so again, while you seem to think saying positive things about an artist you like is unusual, I see it as completely logical. On the other hand to obsess about someone you don't like seems completely irrational to me. Different strokes for different folks, I guess. 5. I don't care what you think of Adam and his role as frontman for Queen. Why should I? You don't go to the concerts, so from an economic stand-point you are irrelevant to the success of this tour. I only care that Brian and Roger want him in this role, that Adam's on-board with the plan, and that the arenas are selling out and adding on. That spells success to me. |

SweetCaroline wrote: Many well-known artists (actors and singers) have appeared throughout the years on Glee. I recently saw an old episode of the show with Idina Menzel playing Lea Michele's mother. Gwyneth Paltrow and Kristin Chenoweth have been guests as well as Neil Patrick Harris and many others, all singing cover songs. I think Adam is in good company with the caliber of guests who have appeared on that show. The untimely and sad death of Cory Monteith has been an unexpected blow to the show, but they have carried on very bravely and Adam has provided some exciting and enjoyable moments for them and is highly regarded by the other members of the cast. Lea has had her wish to sing with him fulfilled, just recently, and it will be interesting to see how the show is transformed in its sixth and last season as it leaves its high school location behind. Adam has also appeared on "Pretty Little Liars" singing his own music--"Cuckoo" and as a host of the VH-1 Divas show. He has proven to be quite versatile in what he has pursued. A movie role in a musical would be fantastic. Okay, PR over for the moment. I get very positive feedback from people when I wear my Adam t-shirts to the grocery store! They all say, "oh I love him, too!" I love that old song, "You've got to accentuate the positive, Eliminate the negative, Latch on to the affirmative, Don't mess with Mister In-Between!" Adam is an amazingly positive person despite some of the criticism he gets, and has been a positive role model for many. That's why his fans are always hopeful and happy for him when something positive happens for him! If that is PR or being a spokesperson, so what? It's all good and happy fun! Here's the promo for the last Glee show that Adam will be in this season on Tuesday, April 1st: link From a recent article about Glee: "It's been reported that this week will see American Idol star Adam finishing with the hit Fox musical drama, which we're pretty gutted about we have to admit. He's been a brilliant addition to the cast this year."Given the heading for this thread, which is pretty broad and a bit crazy, I assume just about any topic is okay as long as it touches on Adam, so here's one for you. Are you familiar with the BlindGossip site? They've got a 3-part clue about Glee. Go here to see it (you need to arrow from part 1 to 2 to 3 at the top of the page): link In part 1 they talk about a scandal involving three of the major actors of Glee, two of whom are trying (supposedly) to oust the third. The clues get more specific in parts 2 and 3. Two other players of Glee have gotten caught in the cross-fire. If you look at the comments below the pieces, you'll see people trying to guess the show and players. Here's the run-down based on conventional wisdom (if you can call online comments wise): 1. Show is Glee. 2. Actor 1 is Chris Colfer - he wants Darren Criss gone. Apparently he hates him, and thinks his character (Kurt) deserves a more handsome, better love interest than Blaine. 3. Actress 1 is Lea Michelle - she's his wingman in trying to get DC ousted. 4. Co-star is Darren Criss - the one they want gone. 5. Actress 2 is Naya Revera, who was going to phase out her role on Glee slowly. The show decided that they didn't want to lose two main characters at once (NY and DC) so instead they gave her the bum's rush to get out early, hence the reason she's phasing out now. She's pissed. 6. Actor 2 is Adam Lambert. Apparently CC wanted Eliot to be Kurt's new love interest, but Adam is a no drama obama and wants nothing to do with this mess. Apparently they wanted to offer him a regular role in Season 6 but he's declined because of the big behind the scenes mess and drama. I have no idea if these blind gossip things are accurate or just a pile of speculative shit, but I'm highly entertained by all the fans of Glee going apeshit over it. Many of them are huge Kurt/Blaine shippers. They think DC is in the closet although he's clearly stated he's straight and has a girlfriend (who the shippers think is a beard of course, being cray as shippers generally are). Anyway, these shippers, along with the DC fans are seriously pressed and going bonkers over their favorite characters and actors. Also, to make things more interesting, Adam and Lea have known each other for a long time and are old friends (or acquaintences, at least) which explains why she wanted him in and DC out. But Adam and DC are also friends, so that explains Adam's reluctance to have anything to do with these shenanigans. It's a hot mess and hilarious to boot. Now that's entertainment! My guess is that we'll see Adam in a guest role on American Horror Story next season. |

@ taptap - Yes, I've seen Dune. I didn't like it at all. I think many AL fans want to see the guy everywhere possible, in the hopes he will hit the big time and get more fans, that's basically it with Q+AL. I realise Queen has done covers. I've never stated they didn't. And believe it or not, I like AL. I don't like everything to do with him, so sue me. I don't like everything about Queen, so by your way of thinking I don't like Queen as well. Yup, I've pretended to be a Queen fan for over 2 decades now. You had thousands of posts over at QOL, rarely a mention of Queen with Freddie. Rarely a mention of Brian and Roger, unless it included AL as the singer. obsession, trolls, hate and homophobia, the only 4 cards many Glamberts have to play, and time and time again. I cant attend a show, but I still have the right to express my thoughts on it. I hope the tour goes smoothly for the band/fans/everyone involved with it. I hope things have improved since the other Q+AL shows. |

If my own word to you isn't good enough, nothing will be. If you don't think I'm a fan, no biggie. I honestly wouldn't lower myself to branding people as trolls, haters, and homophobes as so many as his fans do at the drop of a hat. Yes, again I cannot attend a show.

I read the series when I was in college and re-read them a few years ago. 2. I don't care about the money, although I'm sure Adam is glad to have it. I'm just happy when he gets to do the things that interest him. He seems very happy with all these projects and also appears to have a lot of new opportunities arising from his recent activities. That means success to me. The money is definitely icing on the cake, though. 3. I've never heard any fan say they thought Adam would boost the ratings on Glee. In fact you're the only one I've ever heard say that. The fans I've heard were just thrilled he was getting an acting opportunity in front of that particular demographic. Regardless of how Glee does in the end (and obviously it's going down fast, since they're already planned the end and are only going through the motions in season 6 in order to get it into syndication), Adam did what he needed to do - gained exposure, future opportunities, and a good paycheck. 4. Exactly - it's no biggie if I don't think you're a fan, it's just my opinion. Carry on with your stanning of him as you define it. 5. Good for you! It's odd that, like covers, this whole thing about trolls, haters and homophobes seems to be an obsession with you. Shakespeare had a great line for that in Hamlet - The lady doth protest too much. 6. I'm quite sure there will be people who attend a QAL concert and don't like something about it. I couldn't care less. The money will be in QAL's pockets, the media circus is assured, and both Queen and AL will no doubt gain new fans from among those who enjoy the show. Again, you as one person are irrelevant (even more so since you're not attending). 7. Of course Caroline and SOWLA and I like Adam. Duh - we're fans. That's sort of the definition of the word. 8. I don't take offense. I don't care that you don't like him. I don't care that rocknrollover doesn't like him. But we'll have to disagree that having fans doesn't help an artist, as it clearly does. QAL couldn't fill all those arenas without excited fans. Quid Quo Pro - they bring the talent, we open our wallets, everybody's happy. 9. I think that's already been covered above. The reason so few people converse with you is that you keep bringing up the same things over and over and that stalls out any real conversation. There's only so many times you can give the same answer to the same question without becoming bored. Sorry but it's true. |

"I hope the tour goes smoothly for the band/fans/everyone involved with it. I hope things have improved since the other Q+AL shows." There's always room for improvement in anything, icy, but I will be THRILLED if the shows in this tour are as amazing and well accepted as the six 2012 shows in Europe and London were! link |

I've got tickets on both the east coast and to the west, but believe me, I was torn wondering which venue and timeframe would perhaps be a zenith in their performance. Would it be the last one? Some middle one? A completely unexpected venue, like Houston or Winnipeg? There's some speculation that the reason they chose two back-to-back nights at The Joint in Vegas is that it's a good venue for shooting a DVD. If they wear the same clothes both nights, it's probably quite likely, as the videographers could then splice and edit material from both events for the best shots. I sort of agree about the small venue - it makes for easier, close-up camera shots, etc. On the other hand, a huge arena like MSG can be a very good choice, too, as you'll get a lot of energy from a crowd of that size. I don't know which one it will be, if any, but if there's an official DVD I'll be buying it. If these concerts are anything like Adam's, there will be fan-shot, full concert videos up within hours of each event. Some of those fans have gotten very good and being in the right place for good audio and visual, so we'll be able to see and hear them all long before an official DVD hits the market. |

1. I think Jimi would actually be in awe of much of Prince Rogers Nelson's work. He'd take the tongue in cheek purple house as a tribute 2. I don't like Adam Lambert either. "His music" (or the music written to be performed by Adam Lambert) is girlish top 40 Disney channel style pop. It is artifice and ordinary and crap 3. He DOES however have an incredible *note range. This doesn't mean he can deliver the goods in a ROCK show. 4. Brian and Roger seem to think it's a fitting end to grab a popular entertainer THAT IS GAY to promote the band AND promote the mercury Phoenix trust as well. It would also achieve another 5 years of recognition for all the teeny boppers who seem to like Lambert 5. I'm going to a gig on this tour because it'll likely be the last time they perform in the states 6. He is a lucky s.o.b. .... that is THE "dream gig" Fronting Queen. Even if he doesn't have anything near the power command of Freddie. 7. John Deacon: please give me one of your basses. I've said it before 8 times.

I want a DVD, too--and I don't care where it will be shot. I'm going to Chicago (the first night) and thought maybe that would not be a good choice because they haven't worked out any glitches, but in my experience sometimes the first night is very exciting because the adrenaline is really flowing for the performers. Then I'm going a month later to the Detroit show. I would love to have included a vacation trip either to NYC or Vegas but it isn't in the cards for me this year. I am overdue for a trip to Vegas (only trip there was in 2003) and I've never been to The Big Apple! |

I prefer rock music to pop, so it's unfortunate that we live in a time when pop music is so, um, popular. Still, the fact remains that Adam loves it. ¯\_(''/)_/¯ 3. I love his voice, but tend to prefer his more rock versions during his live sets (they're by necessity different than the studio recordings). From when I first heard him to now, it seems to me he's worked at 'dirtying' up his voice for some of the more rock songs, and I like them a lot, but I also like the purer aspects of his voice. Some day I hope he'll cover something by Roy Orbison, as I think they share some similarities in vocal purity. 4. I agree. 5. Me too. 6. Adam is SO lucky fronting for a band like Queen! Dream gig indeed! There are fans who see this collaboration as a side project, and prefer he focus on his own pop music, but I love it, because I love Queen's particular and unique style of rock. I'm glad Adam sees his upcoming 3rd era project, and the QAL collaboration as side-by-side things instead. Not only do I not have a problem with him doing both (and Glee and Avicii etc. etc.) I love that he's showing so much diversity and versatility. 7. That would be cool. |

Since this thread is upside down and hijacked I have no idea why I'm going on with it, but what the hell, no one ever accused me of being an intellect. I'm not very good at business. I thought the object of business was to make money with a product that people wanted. Apparently I have no idea what I am talking about because 19 Records and Adam Lambert "parted ways" over "creative differences" after two albums of original material. Why in God's name (answer to follow) would a money making entity allow a multi platform (Broadway, TV, rock and roll star) talent, with a ridiculously dedicated fan base (the Glamdaddies), a package so monstrous that it has its own handle (the Spambulge), and opening week sales records in North-South-North Bolivia (south north state only) and 17 districts in Lapland be allowed to walk away? Because you, corporate soul suckers 19 Records or Entertainment, want the artist called Adam McMultiplaformBulgebuster Lambert to be a robot who has to do an alum of 80s covers? Why? Whyyyyyyyy????????? Why? Because once the Adambabies download his album in week 1 (apparently 184,000 of them bought Trespassing in week 1 according to Wikipedia, then he sold 1,000 copies to the rest of the fan club who have dial-up), you realize, this guy has no traction as an artist with the public. 185,000 albums of a second album, tons of hype, the American Idol machine around him and that's all he sells in the US? If I were the record label I'd be pushing for a cover version to help recoup my investment. Adam Lambert is a guy with a nice voice who couldn't write a decent (forget good) song to save his life. He made his name as a karaoke contestant, he can hit the notes, doesn't understand what they mean but hey, he can get up there. If he's all that and a bag of fucking chips, why would anyone want to part ways with him??? Why? Because he's an artistic lightweight with no gravitas, that's why!!! :) :) :) PS, I think it's great that Brian and Roger are touring and hope that everyone who goes has a smashing time. My opinion on who sings is meaningless, and they're sure as hell not listening to me. Or the people who love Adam Lambert and his ManSack ;) |

It's not all about the money with me that AL earns. I'm sure he has enough money not to worry for a while yet 3. It was a guest role on Glee, even though some thought he would be the one and only to save the show, boost the ratings. Hasn't happened. 4.Why do you feel the need/want in saying I'm not an AL fan? Quite simply you were wrong then as you are now. I don't look at any celeb the same way I did when I first became a fan. I'm no step ford of AL, but I'm a fan. If my own word to you isn't good enough, nothing will be. If you don't think I'm a fan, no biggie 5. I honestly wouldn't lower myself to branding people as trolls, haters, and homophobes as so many as his fans do at the drop of a hat. 6. Yes, again I cannot attend a show. If I went and I didn't like it, what would be said about that? 7. It's clear to me here you, sweetcaroline, someonewholikesadam want people here and elsewhere to love the guy. Posting video upon video, articles upon articles in the hopes of him getting more fans. 8. Why take offense on his behalf, why post like a wannabe spokesperson? It's not helping him. 9. I've never said you weren't entitled to give your take on things. Ever. I'm here giving mine, if it's ok with you, not that you have to give your permission.1. I read the series when I was in college and re-read them a few years ago. 2. I don't care about the money, although I'm sure Adam is glad to have it. I'm just happy when he gets to do the things that interest him. He seems very happy with all these projects and also appears to have a lot of new opportunities arising from his recent activities. That means success to me. The money is definitely icing on the cake, though. 3. I've never heard any fan say they thought Adam would boost the ratings on Glee. In fact you're the only one I've ever heard say that. The fans I've heard were just thrilled he was getting an acting opportunity in front of that particular demographic. Regardless of how Glee does in the end (and obviously it's going down fast, since they're already planned the end and are only going through the motions in season 6 in order to get it into syndication), Adam did what he needed to do - gained exposure, future opportunities, and a good paycheck. 4. Exactly - it's no biggie if I don't think you're a fan, it's just my opinion. Carry on with your stanning of him as you define it. 5. Good for you! It's odd that, like covers, this whole thing about trolls, haters and homophobes seems to be an obsession with you. Shakespeare had a great line for that in Hamlet - The lady doth protest too much. 6. I'm quite sure there will be people who attend a QAL concert and don't like something about it. I couldn't care less. The money will be in QAL's pockets, the media circus is assured, and both Queen and AL will no doubt gain new fans from among those who enjoy the show. Again, you as one person are irrelevant (even more so since you're not attending). 7. Of course Caroline and SOWLA and I like Adam. Duh - we're fans. That's sort of the definition of the word. 8. I don't take offense. I don't care that you don't like him. I don't care that rocknrollover doesn't like him. But we'll have to disagree that having fans doesn't help an artist, as it clearly does. QAL couldn't fill all those arenas without excited fans. Quid Quo Pro - they bring the talent, we open our wallets, everybody's happy. 9. I think that's already been covered above. The reason so few people converse with you is that you keep bringing up the same things over and over and that stalls out any real conversation. There's only so many times you can give the same answer to the same question without becoming bored. Sorry but it's true. Yep, I've read some of his fans say they hoped/wanted AL to save Glee and boost ratings. No, you take great delight in trying to prove that I'm not a fan. I don't know why but that is your m.o with me. The latest from you is obsession, take a long, hard look at yourself before you throw that around. I'm a Queen fan first and foremost in case you did not know, so to call me irrelevant is pretty shitty. I think even if I attended a show, that would not be good enough. Yea? You 3 like him and spam the crap about the guy. Oh yes, you take offense. You sink lower in the ways you try to defend him. Fans like you, sweetcaroline, someoneonewholikesadam does not help his career. Don't even bring up why you think so few people converse with me. You aren't the spokesperson for Queen fans, AL fans or even Q+AL fans. |

I mean isn't a title like that chosen for the sole purpose of a free-for-all? As to this new post, I'm a little confused by it. The only thing that seems patently clear at the end of the day (as you scream out various versions of it several times in your post), is that you're pretty obsessed with his 'ManSack'. Ew. P.S. I do believe the point of business is to make money selling a product, hence Queen's collaboration with AL and the subsequent filling of 24 arenas in North America. I think that counts as 'making money on a product' and hence fits the definition of good business. |

It's full of old, butthurt people. If they didn't have the Adam fans to argue with they'd eat their own young. That's been happening a lot since little by little Adam fans have gone into lurk mode there. I think they only flooded the site to get the presale codes and venue info. They'll probably be gone once they've got what they need. It seems like there's a lot more actual Queen discussion on the Adam boards these days anyway, because so many younger people want to know about Queen and don't like the nursing home. Imagine not knowing about Queen! Some people's kids lolol! I don't even think of that place as a Queen site any more, since even the so-called Queen fans do nothing but slag Queen off - and that was happening before the QAL collaboration was born. I think it's been going on ever since the QPR collab, and is probably part of the whole eating your young thing. It's equal parts disturbing and entertaining to be honest. There's a whole lot of GET OFF MY LAWN YOU DANG KIDS! going on over there. |

It's full of old, butthurt people. If they didn't have the Adam fans to argue with they'd eat their own young. That's been happening a lot since little by little Adam fans have gone into lurk mode there. I think they only flooded the site to get the presale codes and venue info. They'll probably be gone once they've got what they need. It seems like there's a lot more actual Queen discussion on the Adam boards these days anyway, because so many younger people want to know about Queen and don't like the nursing home. Imagine not knowing about Queen! Some people's kids lolol! I don't even think of that place as a Queen site any more, since even the so-called Queen fans do nothing but slag Queen off - and that was happening before the QAL collaboration was born. I think it's been going on ever since the QPR collab, and is probably part of the whole eating your young thing. It's equal parts disturbing and entertaining to be honest. There's a whole lot of GET OFF MY LAWN YOU DANG KIDS! going on over there. So, how's your lawn doing? Ever get your ball back? |

I'm not very good at business. I thought the object of business was to make money with a product that people wanted. Apparently I have no idea what I am talking about because 19 Records and Adam Lambert "parted ways" over "creative differences" after two albums of original material. Why in God's name (answer to follow) would a money making entity allow a multi platform (Broadway, TV, rock and roll star) talent, with a ridiculously dedicated fan base (the Glamdaddies), a package so monstrous that it has its own handle (the Spambulge), and opening week sales records in North-South-North Bolivia (south north state only) and 17 districts in Lapland be allowed to walk away? Because you, corporate soul suckers 19 Records or Entertainment, want the artist called Adam McMultiplaformBulgebuster Lambert to be a robot who has to do an alum of 80s covers? Why? Whyyyyyyyy????????? Why? Because once the Adambabies download his album in week 1 (apparently 184,000 of them bought Trespassing in week 1 according to Wikipedia, then he sold 1,000 copies to the rest of the fan club who have dial-up), you realize, this guy has no traction as an artist with the public. 185,000 albums of a second album, tons of hype, the American Idol machine around him and that's all he sells in the US? If I were the record label I'd be pushing for a cover version to help recoup my investment. Adam Lambert is a guy with a nice voice who couldn't write a decent (forget good) song to save his life. He made his name as a karaoke contestant, he can hit the notes, doesn't understand what they mean but hey, he can get up there. If he's all that and a bag of fucking chips, why would anyone want to part ways with him??? Why? Because he's an artistic lightweight with no gravitas, that's why!!! :) :) :) PS, I think it's great that Brian and Roger are touring and hope that everyone who goes has a smashing time. My opinion on who sings is meaningless, and they're sure as hell not listening to me. Or the people who love Adam Lambert and his ManSack ;)Ha!

I know a Nile thread would never have been started or posted in by many Glamberts if not for the fact Nile was working with Adam. Going as far as to try to turn an Elton John thread into a Glee thread just because of a pic taken at an EJ party with AL and his soon to be co stars.

Photoshops are covered under fair use laws per the provision(s) to do with satire. There is not much QOL can do about those pictires unless it either crosses the line (eg. falls into hate speech territory) OR somehow causes a mass decrying by QOL users against said images. By the way, we've had our own fair share of Queen specific photoshops even well before Lambert was in the picture, so your argument doesn't hold much water. |
