cher … my DH is a Pisces too, Feb. 25th.
Hey Cher…..
Loved that part, too!!
I’m sooo happy and excited about the news of the first single that Adam tweet.
The tweet brings out many friends here tonight.
Imagine when the single comes out …EXPLODE!!!
OMG…SO excited. I really really hope his new song just explodes on the scene.
Is anyone else’s x-factor pre-empted by baseball?
eta: mj has reported this…
Mine, too, luval…… Not happy!
It seems that there was a rain delay.
I’m sooo conflicted.
I am not a sports fan, but the game pre-empting X Factor is my home team, the Brewer’s.
I like oatmeal, but not Grits. I do however find My Cousin Vinnny to be not only one of the funniest movies of all time, but the grits dialogue is a stand out amongst the funny lines. ( “what’s a yout?” ” My stomp stomp biological clock is ticking” “screens” “bushes” “leaves”)
I love Adam and Monte. I don’t love this new side of Monte, or the new CD. His blog post sounds like it was written based on legal advice. With an attorney standing by. I do think everybody has a right to make money in an honest fashion. And Monte does have 4 kids to support. I’ll buy Adam’s CD. Not any old stuff labeled as new.
I also have a feeling that someday these old/new CD’s will come to haunt Adam in terms of lawsuits of people trying to make even more money off of him.
So sad, because all he did was write and record and try to make it in the biz.
Know what? I blame the stupid idiots who didn’t recognize his talent earlier and just fragging sign him.
Well mils, let’s hope the Brewers win, so missing X Factor will have been worth it.
By the way, it seems that tonight’s X Factor episode will be aired tomorrow evening and tomorrow’s episode will be aired on Sunday!?!? This is what I am hearing, but it all sounds a bit strange. Peeps in other parts of the country are watching tonight’s show right now.
And yes, I do agree with your comments regarding both Adam and Monte.
I think the areas with the game are the areas for the division of the games. Milwaukee vs St Loius.
My DVR will burn out on Sunday. Boardwalk Empire. Hung. And now X Factor.
BTW. Hung is fantastic. And Bored to Death started up too. So funny. Ted Danson should have been nominated for the Emmy. Rolling Stone agreed. They just called his character the funniest/most standout side-kick on TV. Pot smoking, sex crazed older executive in Manhattan. Best ever Danson.
Too bad about tonight. I was really looking forward to some Cowell bad boy snark. Really. I was.
So we just had a laughing Adam video. Is there a smirking Adam video out there?
Love the smirk. I got a personal one just as our meet and greet got started in Rockford. I was first in line….he appeared…and came forward with that little smirk, on the side of his mouth…it’s frozen in my mind’s eye…
mils – so agree – they didn’t know what they had and weren’t willing to put money behind him. What’s rebarbative is that, after Adam’s incredible balls in soldiering on and going on AI in the face of knowing what probably lay ahead and then – almost reaching the golden ring, these people saw a way to make a quick buck. Yeah – it’s legal, but that doesn’t make it ethical. And I’ll say, if BFM damages Adam’s new album in any way, I hope these people roast in a very hot place. That goes for everyone involved.
Grits with shrimp have been a big fav in the D.C. area for quite a while. Have actually had it. It’s good, but I don’t have to have it again.
Hahha ultimahule. That’s exactly how I feel about grits too! And, for that matter, polenta. Maybe it’s a texture thing, but, yuck!
Guess I’m a midwestern gal, I’ll take rice, potatoes, heck, tortillas are great, but you can keep yer grits and polenta off my plate please!
Have just been reading that statement from Monte and the replies. And totally agree with many of them, especially the person who said that if only they had packaged it as a Citizen Vein record and stated it was old music people would be happy to buy it. So many people have been wanting decent recordings of the CV stuff.The producer would have sold a lot more that way. But the whole website where they are just using Adams name (including his lyric tweets) and trying to pass it off as his latest album, and will no doubt confuse many casual fans is just morally wrong.
Yes, HK fan – morally wrong. And that’s why certain people should let that be known.
Lots of talk about the “old music marketed as new” albums on twitter. Adams Dad appears not to be taking sides as he tweeted that Monte explained his feelings very well. I agree with a tweeter who wrote “people get way too invested in something makes everything have to be black or white.” I’m old enough to make up my own mind and if I decide to buy some of it, I will, not saying I will however. I do own Take One but I didn’t buy it, it was a gift from a family member who knew how much I liked Adam. I put it in my car today and really there are only about 3 songs on it I’d even play. I do like “Want” and think it could with the right production be a really good song. The release time is probably what bothers me, cause Adam was paid for his work, and at the time it probably was a lifesaver for a struggling singer. I invented a saying when I worked for the Dept of Human Service. “If your poor and greedy,your a bad person-If your rich and greedy your successful”. Greed is everywhere.
IMO Monte has an obligation to speak out about the timing of this release and how it is being presented. Up to now he has not.
Adam’s tweet says it all for me.
Been looking tonight at his most recent concerts (Moscow and Quebec). Prefer the Moscow – his Sleepwalker is brilliant and his WWFM (the ending – my god!) is thrilling. He knew it, too – the sly smile as he walked away – lol.
Mils, there’s an upscale Italian restaurant at the Fountainbleau Hilton on Miami Beach called Scarpetta that totally blew me away with their mushroom polenta. To… Die….For.. I kid you not. You would not believe that polenta could taste that good. I would just have two helpings of that and forget the main course. Just amazing. And most of you know my life is all about food and Adam, but not necessarily in that order.
However, the grits can stay away. 
eta: There’s a branch of Scarpetta in New York too.
Enjoy your concert HKfan. Went to see Duran Duran last night. Talk about reminiscing.
Polenta’s not bad – especially if you fry it in butter.
Well its starting, thats all I am gonna say.
I agree Adam has a problem on his hands, I fear that people will think its his new album. Sucks. Its hard to inform the public with the correct info, not everyone goes on Websites and Twitter, and not much Adam can do about it. Do other singers have old songs or albums put out like this?
Hi, Miss Chaos – by “starting” do you mean people are starting to get the albums confused?
No, the crap about Adam somewhere else, about his single coming out, I am sorry, it just pisses me off!
Important stuff alert! Adam and babies, and a good picture of the hair! It’s not that bad, it’s ok! This is so adorable!
http://twitpic.com/6zj3gg
Don’t know who’s cuter – Adam or the baby.
Here’s a good laugh for you. These little girls did a youtube vid of Nicky Minaj’s Super Bass which is a hard to do rap song and the brown haired one is Sophia Grace, the star. Has over 7 million hits and Ellen brought them over from Britain to her show today. They are so cute. Sophia Grace is a budding superstar!! The first vid is the Ellen interview and in the second one Ellen brings Nicky Minaj on to surprise them. So much fun here. Then Nicky sings with them.

So Hello to everyone again. No, you don’t know me, this is only my second post since this site was started. But I have lurked daily here since it began, and at mj’s since I found it shortly after the Ring of Fire performance on AI8. So come Feb 2012 it will be about three amazing years of lurking. Yes, super adam fan, never fanned anyone before, blah, blah, blah, all things you’ve read and heard before. I also often lurk at Atop and very sporadically at Idolforums, which is a little extreme for me.
Anyhow since posters here are into talking about their zodiac signs I will say that I am a Libra and it is the lack of balanced perspective I see going on with this whole Beg for Mercy, Take Two, Adam/Monte issue that has brought me out of lurkdom to post. I will apologize now for the entirely ridiculous length I know this post is going to be. But I feel the need to delve deeper into the situation to truly understand Monte’s point of view, as so many Adam fans on all the blogs I’ve looked at today and yesterday are only really looking at Adams side and how things effect Adam. Very few seem to really care how this is effecting Monte. Certainly some, but not nearly enough.
While I LOVE LOVE LOVE Adam, I also know the entire world does not revolve around him, and I also know he would not be where he is today if his friends, like Monte and Lee and Scarlet Cherry, etc, had not supported him through his pre-idol (growing pains, finding himself) years.
As we all know, Adam is a really smart, savvy guy, however he sometimes reacts from his emotions and gut rather than truly thinking things through, AMA’s anyone? Camera/pap grabbing? He is human and therefor not perfect.
Adam’s tweet was very heartfelt and seemed to me directed only at the producer who put the album out, certainly not towards Monte. Yet there has been an absolute pile on directed at Monte and the other musicians involved. Very few peeps seem to want to recognize that Adam participated in the making of this album every bit as much as any of them did, he also signed away his rights to the songs just like the rest of them. So he had as much a part in creating this situation as any of the other artists had. He also has as much control over it as Monte or the others, which is to say absolutely none. None whatsoever. So the only real difference between them is how they FEEL about the album’s release and the music itself.
Well, we know exactly how Adam feels, it does not represent him where he is now artistically. He feels they are taking advantage of his Idol launched fame to make a buck. Are they? Well yes, yes they are, absolutely 100% yes. The producers are that is. Do I like it? Not really, but mostly because of the piggy backing on the release of Adam’s current albums, that is pretty scummy.
Will there be a few fans out there who mistakenly buy the album thinking it is his current one? Yep, you can bet on it.
Is this going to have any negative effect on his long term career? Nope, not one iota. Take One certainly didn’t, just a blip on the radar. How about his short term career? I just can’t believe it, might be a few who buy the album and dont like it and therefor don’t buy the current album, but they will be few and far between.
Educated Adam fans will make up the majority of the purchases those who feel they have to have everything he’s ever done. And they will certainly buy the new album. Some casual or even non fans might pick it up and love it, then buy the new album and maybe even be a bit disappointed because it is so different. But none of these minor happenings are going to have any long term effect. This stuff happens all the time to singers and actors. How many crappy commercials or b-horror flicks or other old embarassing things get dragged out on those late night talk shows to torture their celebrity guests. Do any of these things effect those people’s careers? Nope! We have a good laugh over them, then move on.
So how does Monte feel about the album. Well lets see, he worked hard to make it happen, he was proud of the band he put together and proud of Adam and the music they made as a band. Adam was too at the time and I’m sure they both hoped for a release back then. Monte remains proud. Adam has moved on. Is Monte wrong to still be proud of work that he had an artistic stake in, just because one of the other artists doesn’t feel the same way? No f””in way. He has every right in the world to still feel proud of his past work.
For those who think he should be supporting Adam’s feelings because Adam has a new album coming out, well why shouldn’t Adam support Monte’s feelings on something they created together? After all, Monte doesn’t have a recording contract to count on.
While Adam has supported Monte in hiring him as a musician and music director for the tour and one-offs, Monte has had no artistic participation in the making of any of Adams new music, nothing that made the previous album, and no sign of him being on the current one either, he’s a hired gun. He is making his own music by literally begging for assistance on the internet to complete his album.
Yet here is a source of income for Monte, who has a wife and four children to support,and no steady job. The touring pays very well, however it’s not at all sufficient to support all the down times in between. This album could be greatly beneficial for him and his family, and here he is having to take all this garbage from Adam’s fans. Adam was totally on board with making the album to begin with, and now that he, and he alone has achieved fame and fortune, everyone else involved in his former projects should what? Eat sh?t and die? I mean seriously? WTF kind of attitude is that?
Adam was a chorus boy when Monte brought him in on that project. Of the two of them Monte definitly had more clout and did everything in his power to help Adam along, including being totally supportive of Adams dreams and putting all the Citizen Vein stuff on the shelf so Adam could pursue them.
And now that something Monte put his heart and soul into is finally seeing the light of day, he is supposed to denounce it because it doesn’t fit into Adams plans? I just don’t understand this perspective at all. There are two sides to every relationship and there must be some balance in order to have a lasting and satisfying relationship.
If Adam wants to maintain his balance and perspective and keep his feet firmly planted in reality going forward, he needs to maintain the closest relationships he had before idol. I simply cannot imagine them trashing their friendship over such a ridiculous issue that neither of them even had any control over. Both will lose major points with me if this comes to pass. However I do not believe it will.
One last rant, I have read several comments today espousing resentment towards the company that originally recorded the album because they failed to recognize Adams talent and sign him to a contract. Well I for one say thank the stars, sun and moon. Had that happened, we likely wouldn’t of even heard of him. This record company clearly has no promotional dollars or much clout of any kind. Do they even have anyone famous under contract? It is highly unlikely they could have given Adam the career he has now. If they had signed him to a contract he could not have done Idol. So why on earth all that resentment? Yes Adam struggled for several years. But it is these things that give him experience to draw from for his art. It is the journey that makes us all who we are. He wouldn’t be nearly as interesting if it had all come too easily for him.
Last paragraph I promise. This is not directed at anyone in particular here on this site. Just a general discourse on my perspective of the current state of Adam’s fandom. This site seems to actually be fairly calm about the whole matter, which I do appreciate. Well this is probably my only post for the rest of this year, which ya’ll are probably thankful for.
Thanks for reading this to whoever makes it through! Hope I didn’t step on too many toes. Feel free to rant back at me. I won’t argue. I’m off to bed now.
wyked_whyspers, glad to see you posting. Why don’t you post more often? This is a good, thoughtful perspective. I for one felt bad for Adam when the first Take One cd came out. Now he’s doing very well, I don’t feel as bad because it’s not like he’s struggling financially. Everyone has to make a living. As long as there’s no crime committed, it’s every man for himself. Adam was paid for his singing at that time and was happy to get the money then. He has his fantastic voice and his future is bright. If Monte benefits from their previous work, so be it. On tour, when Adam didn’t come out to the barricades, many times Monte did. I remember after the Las Vegas show when Adam skipped the barricades to go out on the town (which was fine with me, but not others
), Tommy came out for a short time and later on, Monte came out and stayed out for a quite a long time talking to the fans at length and signing autographs. He was very nice and extremely personable. After Hard Rock Hollywood, he did the same thing. He’s a good guy and I wish him and his family all the best.
wyked_whyspers…I enjoyed your post immensely. You so eloquently put many of the things I had been thinking but backed away from expressing here. And I know that in no way could I have written it as well as you. I do appreciate the thought put into your post.
Welcome back and please don’t stay away too long!
Thanks wyked whyspers – appreciate your thoughtful post even though I may not agree with all of it. It’s always good to get another perspective. Look forward to your posting more often.
P.S. I might also say that, knowing how loyal Adam is to his friends, it would not be surprising if Adam were to speak out to protect Monte.

Yo Glam Jury … relax. NO ONE has been an unwavering Adam fan longer than I have.
Thanks nkd for the heartwarming photo of Adam, Carmit and the baby girl. Adam looks so young. Carmit looks so proud and the baby is precious.
I guess, she reminds you of your granddaughter.
asifclueless, you don’t have to tweet to be on twitter. You go to twitter.com, and register with your email, a twitter name and a password. Then you need to follow the people whose tweets you want to read. For example, to follow Adam, go to twitter.com/adamlambert and where it says follow, just click on that and so on. Dadbert’s twitter is milestougeaux. You can ask people here what their twitter names are. Once you follow a good amount of people or the interesting ones that tweet a lot and the twitter people here can tell you who, then you can just log on and read tweets. You don’t ever have to tweet yourself if you don’t want to. Just lurk…
After you “follow” someone, go back to Home.
rs from Israel can help you by email or she’ll tell you how to find me.
I suppose dadbert is trying to tell the Glamberts that are making Monte’s life miserable to ease up.
Thanks …cher.
I’ve learnt new things everyday in this fandom.
I’ll follow your instructions and see how it goes. Back to the time when the fandom tried to get Adam’s followers to reach 1 million, I almost tried, but felt too complicated. And then I had a feeling that Adam would reach 1 million followers easily.
wyked_whyspers,
Thank you for your long and informative post.
I really admire your resistance to flail and squee and join in the banter of this BSC fan forum for over 2 years. You said you’re a super fan and LOVE, LOVE, LOVE Adam. Why waited that long? Please come and squee, flail and banter with us more often.
We love our Adam and his Glamily. We support Adam’s friends’ projects. We voted for Sasha till our fingers bled. Ms. cher just stated above how we appreciated and loved Monte and Tommy. After all Monte is Uncle Soysauce to us.
About the bastard albums, I don’t think we’ve questioned Monte at all, at least not me.
The thing that bothers poeple the most is the company or that Wilsford guy. The way he conducts his business, the deceptive marketing, the time of releasing them – riding on the coattails and stealing of the promotion work from other people.
There are many questions in my mind. And none of them is about Monte, only for Mr. Wilsford.
Why only Adam’s name on the album? Why not Citizen Vien, featuring Adam, Monte and the band?
Are there going to be more and more of this kind of album every time Adam release his new one?
Are there going to be more of the albums using these old materials remix them, acoustic them, rap them and repackage them to get some bucks?
How often are you going to suck the blood out of Adam?
(Milws, can you help me here of making lists? I’m not good at it.)
I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE my Adam. And I LOVE him not only for his voice but for his GREAT character. He doesn’t need all this crap just before his crucial album #2.
wyked_whyspers … I like your post.
I like the package that you presented to us. It sounds good and looks good. I’m a slow reader so I’ll read more and look closely what is inside the package.
But so far, reading between lines from your posts, there are a few things I don’t agree with you and they disturb me.
This is just my humble opinion. Just glad I get it out of my chest.
So now I can go back to flail about the new FIRST SINGLE.
wyked_whyspers I appreciate your thoughtful post and hope that you continue to join us in two way communication. Your “voice” is most welcome.
I agree with your sentiments wholeheartedly. I am glad that Monte took the initiative to share his thoughts regarding the BFM release and am not sure that anything he would have said would put to rest 100% of the bad feelings. I hope people can let it go. Anger about timing, riding coat tales, etc should be channeled towards lots of extra buying of Adam’s own releases. I know I have bought way more copies and versions of Adam’s music than anyother artist and probably will continue to do so.
wyked whispers, come join us more often I also appreciate your thoughtful post, and also don’t agree with a lot of it. but we do have very differing opinions on here about a lot of things.
My problem with Monte telling people to buy it “because it is good music” is it seems he is on board with the marketing of a group from long ago as an Adam Lambert album. If it was put out as what it truly is then it would not be such an issue. he has to know that the people putting it out are capitalizing on Adam’s fame. so call it Citizen Vein, or The Lost Recordings or whatever just don’t hang it all on Adam’s name.
I truly think Monte is a great person but in this instance he is totally wrong. and I do think this will hurt Adam’s sales as it will be very confusing to many people. I truly hope he is able to get the word out that this is not his album and wish there was a legal way to keep these slime balls from using his name and picture on the cover.
On to grits, LOVE them, my southern girl coming out. Never sweet but with cheese is ok, my favorite is a hot bowl of buttered grits with an over easy egg on top. YUM
X-factor was also postponed here, my beloved Tigers were the ones in the rain delay.
wyked_whyspers welcome!
Thanks for your interesting post,I hope that this whole mess with BFM will cause Adam to have his first single out rather sooner than later.
If his first single is successful, people not familiar with this whole mess might wonder why his song is not on this album and may not buy it. How is it going to be distributed? On line only, or to the stores?
No matter how you cut it, the timing of getting this album out sucks big time. Like the previous one. Is Adam or Monte going to see any money, or did they sign away their rights, it’s not very clear to me. If it’s ONLY Monte who will get something out of this, then it begins to look ugly. JMO.
Very thoughtful post above from wyked_whyspers, we would love to hear from you more often! I’m a Libra too and appreciate your balanced perspective.
Just went and read Monte’s take on the album, and of course saw Adam’s earlier tweets. Gotta say I find myself agreeing more with Monte on this one. Given the background of how this music came to be, I would imagine that Monte is hurt quite deeply by Adam’s reactions to it now. This in addition to Monte, who is in my opinion a world-class musician (he is Madonna’s guitarist after all!) being excluded from any involvement in the making of FYE or the new album. Yes, he was hired on as musical director for the last tour, but I’m sure he would have liked to have more involvement earlier in the creative process. This is pure speculation, but I wonder if Adam and Monte had significant creative differences even during the Citizen Vein days, since clearly Adam has moved in a very different direction musically since Idol.
We all know that Adam can get pissed off sometimes, and we’ve seen him tweet before he thinks on a few occasions. Hopefully he will tweet something supportive of Monte soon, since this has apparently become an issue.
IMO the chances of Monte being a part of the next tour are not looking very good at the moment. I think that would be a big loss for the tour, as Monte’s talents will not be easily replaced.
All just my opinion of course, and I’m glad we can have calm discussions and disagreements here on such issues.
I have not posted my thoughts yet on the albums/Monte/Adam situation. Love reading everyone’s posts. I agree with parts of some and disagree with parts of others. I may still take a wait and see attitude.
I want to ask your opinion. I know we shouldn’t discuss other posters on MJ, but there is something that piqued my curiosity. The person using nickname “tuti” either writes in would say “third language” or her post are using perfect english. Is this a real person, or someone is playing games with us?
eywflyer, sorry if I bended this chat rules, but where else I could ask?
I don’t believe for a minute that the “Idol” machine did not know about this music when Adam auditioned. He very probably had to say goodbye to certain “rights” to promote/benefit from this “old” music going forward in order to obtain his recording contract. I don’t feel that I have heard enough from Adam himself to indicate that there is a problem between he and Monte on this. I feel that the earth would have to move to separate those two. Plus Adam is so live and let live that I just don’t see the drama unfolding here. Monte is right though, if it’s good music, enjoy it. Adam could have worse problems to me; like still being a no name artist.
There will be an end to this old music at some point and we will move on. As Monte said, they got paid very well for the work and with money sometimes comes a price. Adam will be fine….he has us!!!!
This producer of BFM really missed an opportunity to sell to the entire glam nation. If this had been marketed for what it is, Citizen Vein with Adam Lambert lost recordings, we would have all been anticipating buying it. He really missed the mark with the current sleazy promotion.
nekkid,producer of BFM thinks in a terms of prior bastard album sales. Yes, if he did what you suggested I might be tempted to buy it. He might be in for rude awakening.
I blame Welsford for the timing and the album name.
I think Monte should have addressed these two items.
I am concerned about BFM affecting sales.
I dislike Adam’s having to put up with this crap just as his very important second album is being released.
That’s it.
wykd_whyspers, loved your post. Hope to see more of them. Articulate and balanced, IMHO.
nekkid and adamized, looks like our virgo sisterhood is on the same page.
For what it is worth, I am a lawyer. Many things are legal that may or may not be ethical. And “ethical” means different things to different people.
I think that the important thing is to look at the very different relationship between Adam and the producer and the relationship between Adam and his fans.
If, as Monte says (and we have no reason not to believe him), they were paid well for the music way back when (or even if they were not paid well, but just “paid”), then that is the end of the story for me. They don’t own it any longer. Period. Whomever bought it has the right to do with it what they will. Period. Presumably that was known to Adam and Monte at the time and they were likely more than happy to accept the payment and not too concerned about the future.
Now, to Adam, it seems like a bad deal. That is no reason to take from the producer what we call in the law “the benefit of his bargain”. Adam and Monte were a long shot. Producer took a chance. So now he shouldn’t benefit from his early appreciation of Adam? Should somehow be required to be altruistic and magnanimous and hand the originals back to Adam, tear up the contract, and say “wow, Adam, you are wonderful and I love you and I am going to make a huge financial sacrifice for you even though we have absolutely no present relationship, business or otherwise.” WTF?
Do I love the timing? No, of course not. But I respect the right of this man to make the business decision to reap the benefit of what he had the good sense to appreciate years ago and to pay for. Some peeps seem to be working on the assumption that the producer somehow has it in for Adam and wants to hurt Adam or his future album sales. This isn’t about Adam, to the producer. As a businessman, Adam doesn’t enter into the picture at all.
And for all we know, the release in November and December could have been planned to be AFTER the release of Adam’s new music. Remember that original plans were to have a single out already. But bottom line, timing is irrelevant to my point.
Are the producers noble and worthy of praise? Of course not. But neither are they the devil incarnate. They are making business decisions that are best for themselves, just like every other business entity in the world.
On the other hand, I think that we fans do have an obligation to take Adam’s feelings into account. But that is a totally different analysis and a totally different relationship.
Re Monte: same deal. He is Adam’s friend, not his spouse or brother or alter ego. He made a deal, too. He has a future to think about, and it may or may not be linked to Adam’s. And in his own professional career, it would be unwise (IMO) to be known as a guy who made a deal and then wouldn’t play by the rules when it didn’t suit him.
In the end, the marketplace will decide. My guess is that the producer will make some money, and some fans will be confused, but ultimately it won’t mean any more than Take One did (as several others have posted above).
Oksana2000, I think tuti is a troll. She can write perfect English if she wants to. I know that because English is MY second language, which is part of the reason I don’t post often. If I did post, I’d do my best to make sure the grammar and spelling are correct(I still make tons of mistakes though, sorry about that). That’s how a non-native speaker would do, not the other way around—that is to make the lacking of language skill as obvious as possible.
BTW, Oksana2000, I read your posts before Mj deleted them the other day. Thank you for standing up for Adam. I was banned long time ago from that blog, so welcome to the club. Now I post under different name, maybe you can create a new account as well?
Now, about the bastard album, boy, I have so much conflict emotions. I just listened the snippets. I’m so yearning for Adam’s new music, the snippets almost made me cry. I agree that Welsford and co. are sleazy, but the voice on the album is still Adam’s. Is it so wrong for me to want one single copy of it?
Levine, thanks for sharing my doubts about tuti. English is my second language as well and like you I make sure that my writing has as few errors as possible (google is my friend
) Tuti on the other hand tries to be cute and uses mega broken english as much as possible, but sometimes she forgets and post in perfect english. So she is a troll in my eyes.
Re: banning, I don’t think that once you are banned you can go back under different name, cause your IP address stays the same.So unless you change Internet provider or have dynamic IP address, you can’t go back.
Eywfleyer would know the answer.And I wasn’t banned from MJ, just moderated, but I knew that this would happen.
I may be in the minority here, but I say no, it’s not wrong for you to want it. Do I want to support this Welsford guy? NO!
