Good morning, ALL! So great to see a post from eywflyer! We missed you! Honolulu seems like a wonderful place to live and you are definitely closer to LA and any California events. We met at WB and I can’t thank you enough for this site. It’s a special part of my life. Would love to have another Adam concert in WB – it would definitely be a sellout!
Congratulations, Suz526! Best wishes for a wonderful, glam-filled life together!
2,101 posts so far for October with two days to go. Not too shabby for what was supposed to be a quiet month!! Good job, ALL’ers!
For further proof of AL’s clairvoyant powers, look at AL’s description above – “leaks and treats” indeed!!!
I feel like my comments emptied the sandbox. ulti, nkd, luval, AL (to name a few of the recent posters) – is anyone still here with me?!?
Here are my thoughts about Adam. I agree with eywflyer about the label. He needs a label to move forward with new music/ablum/EP. He also needs a label if he is going to tour again. Honestly, no label, no tour, no promotion. However, what we don’t know is what is going on behind the scenes. I have read over and over how long some of these deals can take, so taking 6 months or so I don’t think is a huge deal. If he can’t find a major label I find it hard to believe a more indie label wouldn’t sign him. He has a core fan base and can sell CD’s in the range, if not more, than other artists on their labels and can at least pull in an audience of 1,000 per venue. I think the hold up with an indie label may be his international following and touring. Can an indie label afford a world tour? Or even a few shows overseas? Also, indie labels usually promote tours in bars, colleges and much smaller venues. Again, he is so hard to put in a box it has to be a challenge for any label. A 360 deal is probably his best bet or sign with someone like Live Nation. All of this takes time. We have enough tweets from him and other artists he is working with that we know he is working on new music.
I don’t believe he is going to fall suddenly into obscurity and start doing kickstarter shows and gigging in bars. He has more of a name now than he did a few years ago. He is doing his thing and making connections all over the place. Queen, Avicii, Nile, iHeart, Glee are all very respected, high profile projects he is associated with and their love and respect for him make him even more respected and in demand as an artist.
Bottom line, is he going to be Madonna, Katy Perry, etc.. probably not, but he keeps getting these great gigs, the media loves him, and he is not afraid of working hard – his time will come (some might argue it is happening now). If all these other less talented people can get a record deal with much less media presence than Adam, he will work it out. He has a fantastic team behind him and lots of dedicated fans around the world and that is a major plus in this business. I would bet there are a TON of artists out there that wish they had Adam’s “problems”.
Sometimes I think it just helps to put reality with our huge expectations and settle on the middle and look at his future half full instead of half empty. I sure wouldn’t mind being in his glittery platform heels!
I’m here lurking when I should be wurking!
Very well-expressed, aely! I think that Adam’s appearances on Glee will be a big boost to his general fame and reputation. Episode 5 is all about Gaga, Katy and Adam and is being advertised as such. Putting Adam up there in the same category as Gaga and Katy HAS to be a positive. At the very least, he’ll get more hosting gigs and be invited to give out more awards (a la Kate Hudson). And don’t forget about Idol – the new producers have a lot of love for Adam and I’m sure he’ll continue to have some involvement there. Maybe the label delay is because they are working out a re-release in some form of the Trespassing album. Still hoping for a holiday release of Lay Me Down!

New Glee picture
Anyone else think it’s a little freaky that as I was sending out my 12:28 post, that aely was already responding to my telepathic distress call? Thanks aely and AL – I was beginning to feel like a tree falling in the woods!
Great picture, aely! ALL, make sure you read the caption!
Right? sparkle I am running out to buy a TV guide. LOL
Oh boy, Oh boy….Cover of TV Guide!
aely, spot on! We have been reading so much about how the biz is changing, there is more than one path nowadays. Adam works hard at staying visible, and still gets good gigs. Make-a-Wish is great exposure with a high profile crowd, BleauLive was done by Katy, Gaga, Maroon5, and Queen is on the horizon. I want it ALL! Plus, Glee looks like so much fun! His WW fanbase is a bonus, not to mention his footprint in China. His weibo numbers have skyrocketed from 170k three months ago to 472k now!
Trespass, baby!
aely, loved reading your post about Adam’s possible future.
Detailing the scenario was such a good read!!! Thanks again aely!
I feel great things are coming, and always have.
Love the positive vibe we have going – thanks for sharing, risky and twilight!
Adam is still listed as an artist on RCA’s roster. Perhaps waiting for a contract to expire or something before announcing another label.
http://www.rcarecords.com/artists
nkd I think it means one of two things.
1. They just haven’t updated their roster. I think his contract was up in December when he “parted ways” with 19 and just held on until no compromise was made and then was dropped officially.
or (and something I have been curious about)
2. He is still with Sony and he is changing labels under the Sony umbrella. Like Columbia or Epic. That gives Sony the same rights to him internationally. It happened to Avril. I looked it up a few months ago to see if people move within a parent company.
http://www.hollywoodreporter.com/news/avril-lavigne-epic-la-reid-263062
*I have been watching however and Sony has not tweeted one thing about him that I have seen since he made his announcement. But, I guess it is possible. It is probably the first reason though.
But Island Records has!
I understand that the adamofficial contract is up in December.
Does anyone know if that is correct?
Yep, so have a few others. It is all just so interesting and annoying at the same time.
It is NOT on the cover of TV Guide. I subscribe, got my Nov 4-10 issue today and the cover is Blacklist’s James Spader. The Glee gang is the page after that…right above the listings.
This is exactly what I thought, HK fan. To me it looked like he walked in as his natural self, found a wig in a box in the pile of boxes backstage (costume too). Nice that he was it in, though.
Ultimathule…it was so busy at work I couldn’t even look at the posts today!
Last post mid September. Looks like they just paid for the year and then either they will shut it down or Adam’s management could take it over. It looks like nothing has been updated in a few months from what I was reading. I guess if he goes to a new label they would want to make their own site.
So many things going on. Front and in the back. Can’t wait to see how it all shakes out!
2 Things with this tweet. “First” episode YAY! and she wants good ratings. Smart cookie!

LOVE IT TOO!!!
I might not post a lot, but I am always here lurking..Loving all the glee pictures and positive posts..
I can’t wait for next week for Glee. I feel like a kid waiting for Christmas morning..

We normally get Glee only a week behind the US, but the new season hasn’t started here yet….it hasn’t even been advertised, normally its advertised to death for weeks in advance. i hope we do get it eventually. Looks like I will have to settle for youtube for now

Did I miss something or should I know what song Adam & Naya Rivera will be duet-ing with? Applause?
Everybody put on your seat belts, it’s gonna a wild ride of a week!
We have Halloween, and it should be a dilly!
We have Glee…and I just…can’t!
I also have a feeling that with Glee, there will be some big announcement coming about what else he will be doing.
I just wouldn’t be surprised at all if:
If The Sound of Music is a hit, which it absolutely will be IMHO, there will be more TV movie musicals.
If JSC doesn’t go to the big screen, I predict it will be remade for TV. Same with Wicked. I totally see Pia Toscano as the green witch and Megan reprising her role as Glinda, and Adam as Fiyero.
I also expect an announcement soon about Queen. It is going to happen. We are all just waiting. Some more impatiently than others ( points finger at self).
Congrats to Suz!!
So nice to hear from madness!!!
Eywflyer, so was it telepathy about the 3 year anniversary of GNT Hawaii that brought you out of the woodworks? Hope you are enjoying Honolulu. Muwhahaha! I did!
#milwlovesadam…I so agree with you..The sky is the limit when it comes to Adam…I am positive there are many things coming his way…
For you, mils by our own Suz526..Hair dipped in glitter! God I love that hair.

Everyone of the things on your list could happen!
Is Adam in this bunch?

Good Lawd…trying to watch X Factor for the first time…so, so bad. Anyway, got bored waiting for a Glee commercial (LOL)and look who are the top 2 stories on Yahoo homepage…
https://www.dropbox.com/s/lierc8t5dr617mg/alal.PNG
People may finally realize,OMG!, they are 2 different people. Too funny.
mils I think The Sound of Music looks like a train wreck. Carrie’s promo pictures are hysterical. I do hope for her sake she can act better than she did in that one movie she was in though. Live, I think is just to risky but, I do wish her well.
I’m watching x-factor and totally forgot there’s a possibility of seeing the Glee promo!
Hey, Kradam and Mils! Good to see you guys still keeping the fire lit here.
I agree with all positive thoughts about Adam. Glee is a door opener, Queenbert will happen and Adam is already quietly signed while something(?) is going on in the background. He may not ever be as big as some pop stars have become but good karma and magic follow him and all we have to do is wait impatiently to see what path they take. I love riding the Glambert bus.
AL, my vote for November thread is either keep the above , the beautiful eyes from Genie costume or head shot from leather vampire glam. Thank You.
I’m going to miss the above too..Going to be hard to top.

Mils since your reminiscing about Hawaii GN, I loved it all but since the picture of Adam getting lei’d I remember so fondly that Goatie,knowing it was my first trip to the islands had a hostess meet us at the airport with the most beautiful lei for me that I saw while there. I wore it several times, but kept it in our room fridge. It kept so well I was even able to get it past customs and back to the states. I think Calgary from here was there and I wished we’d have met her. Madness glad to see you here again

@milestougeaux lol. Offensive to witches and genies everywhere.
Speaking of The Sound of Music, I could not believe this disastrous first official foto of Carrie in costume. First, no way would the demure Maria ever sit in such an awful awkward pose. Hubby even asked me, “What? Are they remaking ‘basic Instinct’?” That gaping skirt, what a gaffe!
http://www.mjsbigblog.com/carrie-underwood-sound-music-massive-long-island-set.htm
Huh? The Sound of Music is coming back? Why? Do peeps really think it will have an audience? Genuinely curious.
aely, thank you for your thoughtful and articulate post re Adam’s future prospects. I think that we will always want more for him than he will achieve, but I also think that he does and will take pride in his very significant accomplishments, both in and out of his profession…no need to cry on his behalf. As we have pointed out many times, even if he never earned another dollar he could still manage to stay in fashionable boots.
To keep things in perspective, though, I was talking with a friend today who has never heard of Adam (I rarely come out to my friends as a fan of any pop music, much less Adam.)
We are still in a bubble…but it is getting bigger.
Twitter bio
Someone remind me again who Shoshanna is? For some reason I can’t hold onto that piece…I think you guys have already reminded me a few times.
Thanks!
madnessinmotion Good to see you post! I agree with your positive and kind words. Hope you are well. Enjoy Winstar.
eywflyer Good to hear from you. Hope you enjoy the beauty of the islands, and may they embrace you with the spirit of Ohana. Lived on that island for almost 13 years. So much to see and learn. I hope you will find it to be as amazing and magical as I did. So very happy for you!
