Adam-iHeartMay2014

Alas, Adam’s time on Glee is over (for this year) but he did find other things to keep himself (and his band) busy in April: a few well-paying private gigs. May (the month not the guitarist) won’t be a month for that though since it is getting to be crunch time and rehearsals begin for the Queen and Adam Lambert Summer Tour 2014. Only a few weeks away now!

Photo above is from the iHeartRadio Music Awards Red Carpet on May 1.

    I don’t like reading all the comments on articles whining about why isn’t Adam in the video, its not fair etc etc…makes Adams fans look bad.

    Totally agree with this HK fan. Complimenting the vocals or pointing out Adam is the vocalist is great but whining is counter-productive.

    Also, okay (even expected Laugh ) to express disappointment on Adam-only sites, but posting complaints on general entertainment sites like VEVO adds an undercurrent of negativity to the song and the collaboration.

    Interesting article about how much money an artist makes on their music. It’s from the BBC so all monies are in pounds.

    Gorgeous is right –

    Looking at this pic reminds me of Audrey Hepburn’s saying to Cary Grant (in Charade?) – “You know what’s wrong with you? — Nothing!”

    Oh ulti, that’s one of my favourite movie lines of all time. It has certainly come to mind a few times when watching Adam perform or interview.

    Adam/Nile have 3 more songs they recorded/cowrote with Avicii after that AFTEE benefit, so I hope Avicii ignores the whiners cause up to now Adam’s cowrite credit on LMD (on True et al) could be some nice change! And Avicii’s next album should sell ok too. I’m sure Adam doesn’t give a hoot about not being in the video. Or Nile.

  10. ultimathule says:
  11. luval says:

    Now if only those on-line blog sites would stop saying “someone is missing” from the LMD video. But maybe nobody reads them anyway.

  12. ultimathule says:

    From that BBC article, luval

    And what about those Russian birthday parties?

    “It can be a way to make a lot of money,” Miss Johnson says. “Quite a lot of our artists are doing things like Bar-Mitzvahs, private parties and opening events.

    “You can turn up with a minimal production, rock up and do your set. For my client base it’s very lucrative.”

    Same for Adam, it would appear –

    Have seen this before, I believe – but can’t remember where it took place.

  14. TLKC says:

    That’s true riskylady. With any luck one of those songs will be on Avicii’s next cd and Adam will enjoy some royalties there. To quote Eber, “money would be nice.”

    It’s not a bad idea to have collaborations between cd’s, with or without title credits. Word has a way of getting out. Most LMD articles mention Adam and Nile. Aloe Blaac wasn’t credited in the Titles for WYU and he’s gotten a lot of mileage out of that song anyway.

    Remember how Kesha got her break? She had buzz going into her first single, Tik Tok, because of her vocals in Florida’s “Right Round”. She just sang in the chorus. (And she wasn’t in Florida’s video either Wink

    Very hopeful that LMD hangs around in most countries throughout the summer. And if ATY tanked in the US by end of June, that would be okay, too. (That’s not whining Grin ).

    Thanks for bringing that BBC article over luval. I wonder if anyone makes money through recordings nowadays. Katy Perry, Beyonce and Gaga probably earn more $$$ through endorsements than music – girls have a real edge in that department.

    Has it been one year ago today? One of my top favorite songs of Adam. Love Wins Over Glamour.

    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pO9d3ydXZrY

    The studio version is amazing

    And the rehearsal

  21. ultimathule says:

    Love that rehearsal vid, luval, where the guy in the tech booth (about 1:18) raises his eyebrows to the other tech (yes, know what you’re thinking – lol).

    And, the studio version – “set you free, baby” at 4:16 – oh, yes, darlin’ – VERY nice, indeed.

    Found this obit about the Rolling Stone’s “money man” very interesting. (never played a RS track by choice)

  23. luval says:

    That is a hugely interesting obit, ultimathule. What a smart and insightful man.

    He also saw the importance of merchandising and brand recognition and, among other things, obtained a copyright for the Rolling Stones’ logo of a tongue extended from bright red lips. He sought out lucrative sponsorships from major corporations and licensed the band’s music for commercial use.

    Does Adam have a logo or have I just drawn a blank?

  24. ultimathule says:

    Don’t think he has a logo, luval – but it’d be fun thinking up appropriate ones –

    He reminds me of Neil in that picture of Julia & her grandmother.

    With so many many pictures we see every day I have to admit I love and miss him clean shaven.

  31. luval says:

    Something is weird with twitter. I follow lilybop2010 and I haven’t received a tweet in several weeks. Not even on tweet deck. I even unfollowed, then followed again but it’s not working. I checked her followers and I am still there. Odd. Will have to depend on you, ultimathule!

  32. ultimathule says:

    Went back to Lilybop’s post (54m ago then) – realized I actually wasn’t following her – tweet came in the @adamlambert thread.

    So then – checked “follow” – now probably won’t get them – lol.

  33. ultimathule says:

    For those interested, Caleb will be singing the NA on PBS tonight – Memorial Day program starts at 8:00.

  34. ultimathule says:

    The past three days here in Maryland have been incredibly beautiful – almost unreal.

    Back to the porch now to enjoy it all –

  35. luval says:

    Thanks for the reminder about Caleb. I may have mentioned this here (but I think it was on mj’s Idol thread), that my brother thought this was the best Idol ever!! I reminded him about S8 and he agreed. lol. Anyway, he loved Caleb, didn’t care about the”R” controversy, thought for sure he’d win. He felt there was such a diversity of talent in the final four. Didn’t care that they weren’t attractive hahaha. In fact this girl he’s dating got him tickets to see the Idol tour in late June here.

  36. luval says:

    ultimathule, it was a perfect couple of days here in Central New York too! Finally. Maybe I can start thinking about yard work since I haven’t in 5 years. Wink Laugh

    Oh good – a game! We need to start looking at all of the artwork attached to his cd’s and tours. Too bad the tongue’s been done (KISS probably felt that way, too, but their band name became their logo.)

  38. TLKC says:

    Gardening is a great stress reducer. We finally got a bit of Spring in southern Ontario this week and I’ve been tackling my garden on and off all day, as well. Looking forward to enjoying it all summer (not enough warm weather here.)

    Remember the online tour of that house Adam had looked at? I knew Adam wouldn’t buy it! The garden would have been a b*tch to look after and Adam is decades away from puttering around the yard (if he ever gets to that point). His mother would have told him to forget it. And NVM hiring someone to do it for him. Taking care of that would have cost him 3 jackets a week.

  39. HK fan says:

    Ah the joys of having a miniscule ‘back yard’…just big enough for a table and chairs and a barbie, thats concreted!! It does get covered in leaves every day, but my helper sweeps them for me…Mossies are bad this year, probably because its been so wet, I daren’t even open the door.

    Don’t get all the Caleb love….he does nothing for me. Maybe back in about 1980 when I thought Meatloaf was kind of cute….but not now.

  40. ultimathule says:

    Adam gardening – such a funny thought – guy is interested in only one thing – well, maybe two – and they’re big enough to take up all his time, I’m sure.

    Has anyone seen this FREE Android app? I was looking in Amazon.com because I was thinking about buying that new CD and saw the link for Adam Lambert Top 10 Songs, and that it was free. It doesn’t have much for reviews right now, but maybe it’s because no one’s heard about it.

    Caleb did a decent job with the Star spangled Banner although he was a little ahead of the band.

  47. ultimathule says:

    Caleb did himself proud – great job.

  48. Tothebeat says:

    Beautiful day here in Northern California as well! Also did some gardening, which included some careful watering because of the drought (watching the lawn slowly turn brown).

    So, what are “mossies”, HK fan, is this a term for something in the fauna category? Or just a fun way of talking about moss? I was worried that said mossies could somehow get in the house if you opened your door, lol. Grin

    Can’t wait for San Jose in July! Heart

    I did a search of all departments for Adam Lambert. Was surprised to see so much stuff listed. One autographed picture was $125.00. If I lived alone I think I’d indulge in a couple of the pillowcases–but I don’t think my husband would appreciate me sleeping with Adam. Smile

    The watches and phone cases looked good too. I didn’t realize there were posters out there too. I hope he gets something out of the merchandise bearing his name and likeness.
