    My husband is watching the football game, I assume its on FOX. Anyhow he tells me, look theres Adam, he looks regular, but he has a beard, and rewinds it, lololol

    `

    My son has just been home for 3 weeks Miss Chaos, and caught a glimpse of Adam on tv when I was watching the NYE concert (he’s not a fan), and witha surprised look, said ís that Adam Lambert…since when has he looked normal?? roughly translated, meant wow, he looks good!!!

  14. riskylady says:

    You know, I always have a nit to pick (as an Honors Grad with a Print Journalism degree – sorry, just have to brag) and I HATE when people don’t pay attention to detail. Soooooo…..
    I really like the Telegraph article, the overall impression is very good and I think Adam comes across well.
    BUT.
    1) In 2012, they did Russia, KIEV AND POLAND, and the UK.
    2) True, ABC did receive SO MANY complaints (but 1,500 in the context of overall viewership is not really MANY truthfully). Just that they must not be used to receiving hardly any complaints normally. And they cancelled his NYE appearance too. It was a BIG deal.
    3) But I did not like this paragraph, and I have to believe that the UK just still doesn’t understand Adam’s popularity outside the UK (like, how could that be???? If WE didn’t know him, how could anyone else? – UK being the center of the known universe.)
    Yet if Lambert has not quite become the superstar many predicted, it may also be because his contrived brand of glam-infected pop is not individual or characterful enough to really warrant world domination.”
    I don’t think Adam’s music is “contrived” or not individual or characterful! Just the opposite. I think it IS very individual and characterful, and doesn’t meet the standards of mindlessness and sameness to warrant “world domination” of the sort Psy enjoyed, for example. I call it brainy pop. True, it’s not JLo’s “On The Floor.” But, Adam is VERY popular and well known in many countries, as we know, where his contrived music is appreciated.
    Someday, some journalist will do a really good, accurate article – like the early ones, the LA Times one or the RS cover story. Then I will STFU.

  15. riskylady says:

    On another note, after that tweet about the theme for fan outfits for the European tour, I’m wondering why hubby and I are bothering to take our slightly larger than carryon luggage????? Go figure!!!! LOLOL.

  16. ultimathule says:

    I heartily, completely, absolutely agree with all you said, riskylady – and, particularly, #3 – has the author listened to the “Trespassing” album? – it was prescient in what would be coming down the pike. As BillBoard said – “in a fairer pop universe,” it would have been a hit. Yes – guy’s a little bit insular there. Hope some will remind him in the comments column, if there is one.

  17. ultimathule says:
  18. rs says:

    Luval and nkd, I think that the article was referring to this definition of the word “pretender”, commonly used in the UK: an aspirant or claimant (often followed by to ): a pretender to the throne.
    They are looking at Adam as a young pretender to Freddie’s throne.
    And risky, I read that sentence a bunch of times, thinking that Adam’s problem in the States has been that his brand of pop is TOO individual and characterful for today’s cookie-cutter rubbish that calls itself pop music, not the opposite,that they are saying. As usual I agree with what you wrote. (I noticed those other mistakes, too.)

    1) Queen + Adam Lambert

    They’re the ultimate rock legends and, with the addition of the acclaimed Adam Lambert, it’s a tour not to be missed. They wowed everyone during their New Year’s Eve concert in London, which saw 12 million people tune in to watch. Meanwhile, the sceptics were silenced as Adam Lambert became the most searched term on Google.

    (That last sentence just makes my heart sing.)

  24. AL says:

    Some news about the upcoming threads for the Q+AL 2015 tour.

    We all love the mlg posters that she has done for almost every concert so far. Unfortunately, her design schedule is busy right now and that means that she can only do a few posters. However, knowing how much these posters mean to us ALL and now even other blogs, she has gathered together four top designers (US, Canada and Germany) to make sure that there is a poster for each concert thread. It will interesting to see how each talented artist is inspired by the talented Adam Lambert. Thanks mlg for putting that together and thanks to the other designers for stepping forward to help out! Rose Rose Rose Rose Rose

  25. AL says:

    And speaking of helping out…I, too, will be busy during this latest tour so will need some assistance maintaining the threads. I will set up each thread and just need 2 or 3 people who can spare a few hours or so and can do some simple cutting/pasting/posting in WordPress.

    The work will involve updating the thread with Youtube videos, links to photos and articles, etc. It’s relatively simple and I will be available to help out. So if you have no problem editing your posts here, you should have no problem updating the thread.

    Once I have a few volunteers, I’ll assign the threads and you can review to see if it works for you. I’ll run the first few and then we will go from there. Anyone up to the challenge?!

    Under your tutelage, AL, would be more than happy to do anything I can –

    Thank you, ulti and rs!

    He also seemed a little incredulous at whatever effect Adam’s orientation may have had on his career in the US. Different country from the UK, pal!
