Adam-BRITs-RedCarpet2015
Adam-Chestbert2Adam-GymbertAdam-Chestbert3

February went roaring out like a lion with Queen and Adam wrapping up their sold-out 26 city tour of Europe and UK. March is all Lambert as he heads home or to a possible vacation spot for a well-deserved rest. That will be short-lived though as the promo for The Original High picks up with the single release GHOST TOWN scheduled for April 21st.

This month’s main photo is from the BRITs red carpet. Adam attended the event with the head of the Warner Brothers label and just happened to be in the neighborhood.

Enjoy the chat!

    Ok not so confused anymore. Just have to find the radio stations for my age lol

    BOARDSHORTS BE MINE @BUSYBEE8
    “@shoshannastone
    request at a station that targets ur demographic or make sure ur age isn’t able to be detected @HannaBec @SisterMerryMary

    Hanna Bec HannaBec
    @BUSYBEE8 @shoshannastone @SisterMerryMary Oh that’s a bunch of bullshit. I know the DJ’s; they follow me. I’ll request wherever I want.

    shoshanna stone @shoshannastone
    @HannaBec @BUSYBEE8 @SisterMerryMary sure, but the DJ’s do not select the playlist.

    Hanna Bec HannaBec
    @shoshannastone If we can bring down Adam’s career by requesting from a “too young” radio station, he probably needs new management.

    shoshannastone
    @HannaBec I think you are confused as to how the industry works. Take my advice or don’t.

    Me @MadaSkcor
    @HannaBec I party with djs from a top 40 station who told me the ssme thing, sounds like @shoshannastone is doing a great job talking truth

    ulti That was really a “woah – wtf” moment! Anyone know this HannaBec?

    Most marketing $$$ are focussed on the younger demographic. Young people aren’t as likely to be encumbered by mortgages. They also tend to have more discretionary income (i.e. more money for fun stuff) and are more easily persuaded to part with it. Also, people are known to develop brand affiliations early in life and stick to them.

    Many of the youth brands are image-oriented and give POP radio stations the added advantage of helping them to project the right kind of cool. They can’t get those brands unless they have the right kind of listener. That’s where the “ideal listener” profile kicks in.

    If you sign up as listener in the major radio station near your home, you will be asked to provide your age. If you have already done this then you really can’t change your age. If you haven’t you can do so now and pick your age Grin .

    It is what it is.

    Ohhh I like your thinking TLCK Grin Thank you!

  11. nkd says:

    cwm, you are in my thoughts and in my heart. Much love to you my friend.

  12. TLKC says:

    Hannabec is mistaken on this matter.

    Advertisers use all kinds of market analysis and data-based algorithms to figure out where their desired customers are. TV, radio and online media submit to the analysis and try to keep or develop their desired demos. They track customer’s online interests and toss or keep us in the data mix as desired.

    Is the data analysis perfect? No. A female friend of mine is constantly courted by beer brands because she is a soccer nut. My online demo gets me all sorts of invitations to gay male dating sites Laugh

    Older consumers have lots of money but it isn’t always about money. Cool-branded shows and people often get much more attention than their ratings and sales results deserve.

    Case in point “Gossip Girl”. This show always had so-so ratings but it got so much coverage in New York Magazine and various blogs that their actors were frequently featured in fashion magazines, Vanity Fair, gossip columns and front row seats at NY Fashion Week events. All the right brands cheerfully coughed up all sorts of money to align themselves with the show.

    Lena Dunham’s Girls is currently performing a similar trick, even though many less exciting shows like NCIS, with much better ratings, get far less advertising money.

    It is what it is.

    ETA: Hannabec is right about one thing. She can request whatever she wants and she should do that if she wants to. But Shoshonna is right when she says that Hanna won’t be helping Adam much. Personally, if I am going to invest time in helping Adam I would like to know that I am not wasting it.

  13. ultimathule says:

    Believe Adam was a fan of “Gossip Girl” – ?

  14. angelowal says:

    On Twitter I have followed and am followed by @HannaBec since about 2010. She’s a nurse, I believe, and has always been a fun and reasonable person (I have blocked all the crazy,unkind/unreasonable or snarky people from my twitter account).

    I was surprised that she had that interchange with Shosh – she must have been having a really bad day, because it does seem to be out of character for her.

  15. TLKC says:

    Yep and that makes sense, ulti, because Adam is part of the show’s key, young demographic.

  16. skaschep says:

    Have you guys seen this one already? Got this through my e-mail from youtube:

    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FVXlQjZYN4M

    Nice way of honoring all the fans.

  18. luval says:

    Oh no, ultimathule . He says he can’t wait to hit the stage again. Aaaaaaaarrrrgggghhh!

  19. ultimathule says:

    Everyone’s hoping it’s wishful thinking, luval

  20. glambotgram says:

    Oh no, ultimathule . He says he can’t wait to hit the stage again. Aaaaaaaarrrrgggghhh!

    I so agree, Please lets hope he was just trying to push his own agenda and not that he has been actually hired. I don’t think there would be tours planned yet anyway, would there?

    So what radio stations have a “29” year old demographic, I am guessing none. And if there are any(country or oldies) I would imagine they would not have Adam on the playlist.

    So I guess we don’t request.

  21. ultimathule says:

    Think I’ll send the younger troops here to the radio stations – they like Adam and owe me anyhow – lol

  22. luval says:

    oy…look at the last tweet by HannaBec.

    https://twitter.com/14gelly/status/577558611326603264

  23. nkd says:

    What’s the target demographic for HAC stations, the ones that play top 40 mixed with past decades songs? Mine is mostly top 40 here in Houston. They advertise stuff that most teens and twenties would have no interest in.

    If radio doesn’t want us then we can buy albums and singles and concert tickets, stream music and make noise on Twitter, etc.
    It really all depends on how good the first single is and the promotion behind it by WBR.
    IMO

  24. nkd says:

    Sheesh, I hate this Twitter bickering between fans.
    At least it’s entertaining!

    Lucky I work with all women…otherwise I’d be going round looking at all the mens hands and wondering!!!!

    “Ultimately, we do still think that this was a reactionary move. Obviously these comments were filmed a while back, and they still made it to the air despite their nastiness.”

    re Matt Carter quote…wasn’t this one of the first live episodes???

  26. HK fan says:

    Thinking of you cwm, stay strong Heart, and come and visit us when you can.

  27. HK fan says:

    blooming heck…my soul is ancientFrown

    You got: Your soul is ancient.
    Your soul is truly magnificent and has been around for hundreds of years. The term “old soul” was basically created to describe you. You’re incredibly sensitive and find that you understand people better than most. It’s almost as if you’ve EXPERIENCED certain situations before. But no matter how many times your soul may have lived, it’s just as fabulous every time.

  28. glambotgram says:

    Yeah I don’t get trying to antagonize Shosh. I don’t always care for everything she says but there is no doubt she knows more than us about all of this. And she also has Adam’s best interest at heart.

    You’re right HK fan, this was the first live show after judges retreat.
    It’s reported here that these two judges live in New York but that they were recently both dropped by their labels. The feeling (from music business people) is that they now have zero chance of getting another contract.

  30. riskylady says:

    Can somebody explain that hand pic to me? What is it???

  31. ultimathule says:

    @bani_
    oh, so Shosh deleted all the tweets now. ok. Internet is forever… tho. (thanks for the caps, bbs)

    risky did you read the tweet above it?

    Pay attention to a man’s ring finger. The longer it is compared to his index finger, the longer his penis is.

    Do we have a good picture of Adam’s hand? Grin

  35. ultimathule says:

    There was one good hand pic, I think, when he was showing off his bling.

    ITA with this, nkd. I’m at a wait and see situation right now.

    This.

    Shosh has also promised to give us the signal regarding Shazam, so that should be easy, too.

  39. luval says:

    lol…read the FB posts regarding Kanye West headlining the Glastonbury festival. Saying they are not thrilled is an understatement.

  40. TLKC says:

    Think I’ll send the younger troops here to the radio stations – they like Adam and owe me anyhow – lol

    Yes, ulti. Sad to say, we are better not to show up for Adam’s appearances at radio stations where the demo skews younger. I will probably do something similar for a couple of young people here.

  41. luval says:

    Mentioned in a post here last week I couldn’t get Shazam app on my iphone. Woke up this morning and it was there. How that happened I have no idea. Smile

  42. milwlovesadam says:

    -I have an ancient soul.

    -I don’t intend to send messages to ANY radio station unless or until there is reason to send messages to somebody who will actually play his music. Until then, no bombarding from this mega-fan.

    -Nasty pushy over-bearing fans are not welcome anywhere, and only do more harm than good. IMHO.

    -Requesting the songs from TSP that were not embraced by anyone outside of the fandom, did not help Adam. They were the wrong songs. Period. I do believe most of us would agree.

    -I am sooooo sick of certain fans, who some of us may have met or know, that have an agenda to force out there and ruin it for so many of us.

    -I just want Adam to have a hit song and hit record again. FYE was a real hit, WWFM and IIHY were real hits. TSP was number one, because we made it number 1. For a week. Then it died. That’s the truth.

    -In time, it did sell a million or more copies, worldwide, with hard work and international touring. I wonder how many copies were sold during QAL?? I wonder how we could find out?

    -I don’t know why, but I feel like ranting, LOL, I am already, but when a fan engages Adam’s publicist in a twitter rant, and is rude and entitled, it just pushes my buttons. GAH!!

    -And while I’m at it, ARRGGGHHHH!!! Johnny is tweeting a hint that he’ll be touring with Adam again?????????????

    -OH. MAH. GAWD. Say it isn’t so!!! Johnny with his over-done effeminate horrible dancing on tour with Adam in the US?????? NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO. He is just too much. I would be so afraid that Adam could actually have real hits on his hands with this album, and be derailed by something as ridiculous as Johnny’s horrid dancing.

    -I am truly hoping that Adam can demand better in a troupe. He has been fronting some of the best musicians in the world, he needs higher quality in his musicians and his dancers and backup singers.

    -Did anyone see Olly Murs on Ellen or Kelly and Michael last week? I think his backup singers were the two guys who did backup for Adam in the UK last year. Those are the kind of backup singers he needs, not gospel gals who over-sing him.

    IMHO. Rant over. Gonna go take a chill pill. Or lift some weights. Razz Shock

  43. TLKC says:

    Ha ha! Too bad about Johnny! He did make me laugh, though. I would just prefer to see something a bit more professional. I’m not completely sold on dancers because Adam is so much better upfront and communicating directly with the audience but I’ll deal. ROTFL

  44. TLKC says:

    It would be nice if Adam could have a better band overall. He certainly deserves the best. He may find that he is much pickier after QAL and could end up using the promo tour to fine-tune his line-up. Tour plans are a bit premature, after all. We will have to wait and see.

  45. TLKC says:

    Mentioned in a post here last week I couldn’t get Shazam app on my iphone. Woke up this morning and it was there. How that happened I have no idea. Smile

    Maybe NCIS was listening and decided to help you out luval Grin

  46. nkd says:

    Do we have a good picture of Adam’s hand?

    Do we really need a picture of his hand to come to conclusions on this matter? Wink Although I’m sure there are plenty of pics of his hands, among other things. Grin

  47. milwlovesadam says:

    Adam has had the best band, the best sound, the best lighting, the best pyro, the best plane, the best venues, and, erm, the best “shez long” handlers in the business.

    He hardly even had to adjust his earpieces on QAL.

    He deserves the best. After all, he is a GFG.

  48. TLKC says:

    Smile Big Smile Grin Laugh Yes ROTFL Silly Giggle nkd!

  49. milwlovesadam says:

    Do we really need a picture of his hand to come to conclusions on this matter? Wink

    LOLOL

    No, we don’t Wink We don’t Blush

  50. Tothebeat says:

    I’m just afraid that Johnny was talking to Adam – weren’t they at Adam’s house with some other guys the other night? – and that is his source for this announcement.

    All I remember is how hard he tried to dominate the action when he was on stage, but I bet he doesn’t even know he comes off that way. Talk about living in his own bubble!

    Well, that was my rant; glad it’s off my chest! Mad

    ETA: At least one person commenting on that instagram wants to see a new team…

    “I wish @adamlambert will hire a more accomplished team of professionals this time around tbh. Especially for the band. And I’m not alone! Remains to be seen I guess”
